Constant currency: Changes in revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use the non-IFRS financial measure "at constant exchange rates" or constant currency in our filings to show changes in our revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under IFRS, amounts received in local (non-Euro) currency are translated into Euros at the average exchange rate for the period presented. Once we translate the local currency for the constant currency, we then calculate the change, as a percentage, of the current period using the prior period exchange rates versus the prior period. This resulting percentage is a non-IFRS measure referring to a change as a percentage "at constant currency."

We believe that the non-IFRS financial measure constant currency is useful to investors, lenders, and other creditors because such information enables them to gauge the impact of currency fluctuations on a company's revenue, operating income and other items from period to period. However, we also believe that the usefulness of data on constant currency period-over-period changes is subject to limitations, particularly if the currency effects that are eliminated constitute a significant element of our revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items and significantly impact our performance. We therefore limit our use of constant currency period-over-period changes to a measure for the impact of currency fluctuations on the translation of local currency into Euros. We do not evaluate our results and performance without considering both constant currency period-over-period changes in non-IFRS revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items and changes in revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items prepared in accordance with IFRS. We caution the readers of this report to follow a similar approach by considering data on constant currency periodover-period changes only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, changes in revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items prepared in accordance with IFRS. We present the growth rate derived from IFRS measures next to the growth rate derived from non-IFRS measures such as revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC AG & Co. KGaA and other items. Because the reconciliation is inherent in the disclosure, we believe that a separate reconciliation would not provide any additional benefit.
