Forwardlooking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy or might not even be anticipated. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on current estimates and assumptions which we believe are reasonable and which are made to the best of our knowledge. Actual results could differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements due to various risk factors and uncertainties, including changes in business, economic or competitive conditions, changes in reimbursement, regulatory compliance issues, regulatory reforms, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, uncertainties in litigation or investigative proceedings, cyber security issues and the availability of financing. Given these uncertainties, readers should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in detail in Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA's (FMC AG & Co. KGaA) Annual Report on Form 20-F under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" and under the headings in that report referred to therein, and in FMC AG & Co. KGaA's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse).
Forward-looking statements represent estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. The information contained in this presentation is subject to change without notice and the company does not undertake any duty to update the forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, except to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.
If not mentioned differently the term net income after minorities refers to the net income attributable to the shareholders of Fresenius Medical Care AG Co. KGaA. The term EMEA refers to the region Europe, Middle East and Africa. Amounts are in Euro if not mentioned otherwise.

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.
