FRESENIUS SHARE

In the third quarter of 2012, the Fresenius share continued its upswing and reached a new all-time high of € 90.58. With an increase of 26% compared to the year-end closing price of 2011, the shares continued to significantly outperform the DAX.

FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF 2012

At the beginning of 2012, the capital markets were driven by positive economic signs. In the course of the year, they became more volatile as the European debt crisis fears intensifi ed. The Fresenius share successfully continued its upward trend despite these turbulences and benefi ted from excellent operating results as well as the completion of major acquisitions. In September 2012, the capital markets recovered again, supported by the decision of the European Central Bank and the U.S. Fed for stimulus measures to boost the economies.

The Fresenius share continued to outperform the DAX in 2012. On September 28, 2012, the Fresenius share reached a new all-time high of € 90.58 and closed end of September at € 90.34, an increase of 26% comparted to the 2011 year-end quotation. In the same period, the DAX increased by 22% to 7,216 points.

The average daily trading volume of the Fresenius share was impacted by low trading volumes during the summer break. By the end of the third quarter, neither the Fresenius share nor the DAX improved their average daily trading volume.

HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY

The health care sector is one of the world's largest industries. It is relatively in-sensitive to economic fl uctuations compared to other sectors and has posted above-average growth over the past years.

The main growth factors are: the rising medical needs, stronger demand for innovative products and therapies, advances in medical technology as well as growing health consciousness, which increases the demand for health care services and facilities.

In the emerging countries additional drivers are: expanding availability and correspondingly greater demand for primary health care and the increasing national incomes and hence higher spending on health care.

At the same time, the cost of health care is rising and claiming an ever-increasing share of national income.

Health care structures are being reviewed and possible cost-cutting potential identifi ed in order to contain the steadily rising health care expenditures. However, such measures cannot compensate for the cost pressures arising from medical advances and demographic change. Market-based elements are being introduced increasingly in the health care system to create incentives for cost and quality-conscious behavior. Overall treatment cost shall be reduced through improved quality standards and optimized medical processes.

In addition, ever greater importance is being placed on disease prevention and innovative reimbursement models linked to treatment quality standards.

Previous year's sales were adjusted according to a U.S. GAAP accounting change. The sales adjustment of - € 119 million in the fi rst three quarters of 2011 and of - € 161 million for the full year 2011 solely relates to Fresenius Medical Care North America.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA – adjusted for a non-taxable investment gain of € 34 million at Fresenius Medical Care and for one-time costs of € 31 million related to the offer to the shareholders of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG. 2011 adjusted for the effects of mark-to-market accounting of the Mandatory Exchangeable Bonds and the Contingent Value Rights.

Adjusted for one-time costs of € 7 million (non-fi nancing expenses) related to the offer to the shareholders of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL POSITION, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

SALES

Group sales increased by 18% (12% in constant currency) to € 14,100 million (Q1 – 3 2011 1 : € 11,970 million). Organic sales growth was 5%. Acquisitions contributed a further 8%. Divestitures reduced sales growth by 1%. Currency translation had a positive effect of 6%. This is mainly attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro by 9% in the fi rst three quarters of 2012 compared to the fi rst three quarters of 2011.

Organic sales growth in North America was 3%, and in Europe 5%. Organic sales growth was again strong in Asia-Pacifi c with 11% and in Latin America with 19%. The sales decrease in Africa was due to the volatility in Fresenius Vamed's project business.

EARNINGS

Group EBITDA 2 grew by 19% (13% in constant currency) to € 2,786 million (Q1 – 3 2011: € 2,344 million). Group EBIT 2 increased by 19% (13% in constant currency) to € 2,224 million (Q1 – 3 2011: € 1,862 million). The EBIT margin improved by 20 basis points to 15.8% (Q1 – 3 2011: 15.6%).

Group net interest was - € 480 million (Q1 – 3 2011: - € 401 million). Lower average interest rates were more than offset by incremental debt due to acquisition fi nancing and currency translation effects.

The Group tax rate 3 improved to 30.1% (Q1 – 3 2011: 30.9%).

Noncontrolling interest increased to € 537 million (Q1 – 3 2011: € 445 million), of which 93% was attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Fresenius Medical Care.

Apart from products, we focus on developing optimized or completely new therapies, treatment methods, and services.

DIALYSIS

The R & D activities of Fresenius Medical Care are aimed at translating new in-sights into novel or improved developments and bring them to market as quickly as possible, and thus make an important contribution toward rendering the treatment of patients increasingly comfortable, safe, and individualized.

Our R & D strategy is aligned with this focus:

  • ▶ develop new formulations non-patented
  • ▶ develop own generic drug formulations for the date when drugs go off-patent
  • ▶ continue to develop and refi ne our existing portfolio of pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

To obtain marketing approval for new products we are constantly working on dossiers for the registration for all the world's major markets. This applies to our established portfolio, which we roll out on a broader international basis through marketing authorizations for new local markets, while at the same time we work on applications for new products.

GENERAL NOTES

1. PRINCIPLES

I. GROUP STRUCTURE

Fresenius is a worldwide operating health care group with products and services for dialysis, the hospital and the medical care of patients at home. Further areas of activity are hospi tal operations as well as engineering and services for hospitals and other health care facilities. In addition to the activities of the parent company Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe, the operating activities were split into the following legally-independent business segments (subgroups) as of September 30, 2012:

  • ▶ Fresenius Medical Care
  • ▶ Fresenius Kabi
  • ▶ Fresenius Helios
  • ▶ Fresenius Vamed

The reporting currency in the Fresenius Group is the euro. In order to make the presentation clearer, amounts are mostly shown in million euros. Amounts under € 1 million after rounding are marked with "–".

II. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).

Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, as a stock exchange listed company with a domicile in a member state of the European Union, fulfi lls its obligation to prepare and publish the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applying Section 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB). Simultaneously, the Fresenius Group voluntarily prepares and publishes the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The accounting policies underlying these interim fi nancial statements are mainly the same as those applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2011.

III. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated fi nancial statements and management report for the fi rst three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 have not been audited nor reviewed and should be read in conjunction with the notes included in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2011, published in the 2011 Annual Report.

Except for the reported acquisitions (see note 2, Acquisitions, divestitures and investments), there have been no other major changes in the entities consolidated.

The consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 include all adjustments that, in the opinion of the Management Board, are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to provide an appropriate view of the assets and liabilities, fi nancial position and results of operations of the Fresenius Group.

The results of operations for the fi rst three quarters ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fi scal year 2012.

Classifi cations

Certain items in the consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst three quarters of 2011 and for the year 2011 have been reclassifi ed to conform with the current year's presentation.

In the business segment Fresenius Medical Care, sales have been restated to refl ect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2011-07. Specifi cally, bad debt expense in the amount of US\$ 58 million (€ 42 million) and US\$ 167 million (€ 119 million) was reclassifi ed from selling, general and administrative expenses as a reduction of sales for the third quarter and the fi rst three quarters of 2011, respectively. In addition, in the business segment Fresenius Medical Care, freight expense in the amount of US\$ 36 million (€ 25 million) and US\$ 107 million (€ 76 million) was reclassifi ed from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales to harmonize the presentation for all business segments for the third quarter and the fi rst three quarters of 2011, respectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated fi nancial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IV. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, APPLIED

The Fresenius Group has prepared its consolidated fi nancial statements at September 30, 2012 in conformity with U.S. GAAP in force for interim periods on January 1, 2012.

The Fresenius Group applied the following standards, as far as they are relevant for Fresenius Group's business, for the fi rst time in the fi rst three quarters ended September 30, 2012:

In July 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-07 (ASU 2011-07), FASB Accounting Stand ards Codifi cation (ASC) Topic 954, Health Care Entities – Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Serv ice Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts and the Allowance for Doubt ful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities, in order to provide fi nancial statement users with greater transparency about a health care entity's net patient service revenue and the related allowance for doubtful accounts. The amendments require health care entities that recognize signifi cant amounts of patient service revenue at the time the services are rendered even though they do not assess the patient's ability to pay to present the provision for bad debts related to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) on their statement of operations. The provision for bad debts must be reclassifi ed from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenue. Additionally, these health care entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about their policies for recognizing revenue and assessing bad debts. The amendments also require disclosures of patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) as well as qualitative and quantitative information about changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. For public entities, the disclosures required under ASU 2011-07 are effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those fi scal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early

adoption permitted. The amendments to the presentation of the provision for bad debts related to patient service revenue in the statement of oper ations should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Fresenius Group adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-07 as of January 1, 2012 and has restated the fi nancial results of 2011 accordingly.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05 (ASU 2011-05), FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12 (ASU 2011-12), FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifi cations of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 defers certain income statement and other comprehensive income (OCI) statement presentation requirements noted in ASU 2011-05. ASU 2011-05 still requires that all components of comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements. In the two statement approach, the fi rst statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement presenting total OCI, the components of OCI and total of comprehensive income. Additionally, the requirement for adjustments to the components and their related tax effects to be presented on the face of the statement in which the components of OCI are presented or in the notes to the fi nancial statements remains for year-end disclosure. The disclosures required are effective retrospectively for fi scal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. As the Fresenius Group currently pre sents two separate but continuous statements of net income and comprehensive income, the Fresenius Group is in compliance with presentation of FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 (ASU 2011-04), FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. These amendments include clarifi cations of the application of highest and best

use and valuation premise concepts, the measurement of the fair value of an instrument classifi ed in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity, and disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 also changes the measurement or disclosure requirements related to measuring the fair value of fi nancial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and additional disclosure about fair value measurements. The disclosures required under ASU 2011-04 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Earlier adoption by public entities is not permitted. The Fresenius Group has applied the guidance under ASU 2011-04 since January 1, 2012, and there has not been a material impact on the results of the Fresenius Group.

V. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET APPLIED

The FASB issued the following relevant new standards for the Fresenius Group:

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), FASB ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This amendment requires disclosing and reconciling the gross and net amounts for fi nancial instruments that are offset in the statement of fi nancial position, and the amounts for fi nancial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements and other similar clearing and repurchase arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In July 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-06 (ASU 2011-06), FASB ASC Topic 720, Other Expenses – Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers. The amendments in ASU 2011-06 address how health insurers should recognize and classify their income statement fees mandated by the Health Care and Educational Affordability Reconciliation Act. These amendments require that the liability for the fee be estimated and recorded in full once the entity provides qualifying health insurance in the applicable calendar year in which the fee is payable. In conjunction, the corresponding deferred cost is amortized to expense using a straight-line allocation method unless

another method better allocates the fee over the entire calendar year for which it is payable. In addition, the ASU states that this fee does not meet the defi nition of an acquisition cost. The disclosures required under ASU 2011-06 are effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2013, when the fee initially becomes effective. The Fresenius Group will apply the guidance under ASU 2011-06 beginning January 1, 2014.

The Fresenius Group generally does not adopt new accounting standards before the compulsory adoption date.

2. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND INVESTMENTS

The Fresenius Group made acquisitions and investments of € 2,993 million and € 908 million in the fi rst three quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of this amount, € 2,765 million was paid in cash and € 228 million was assumed obligations in the fi rst three quarters of 2012.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE Acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings, Inc.

On February 28, 2012, Fresenius Medical Care acquired 100% of the equity of Liberty Dialysis Holdings, Inc. (LD Holdings), the owner of Liberty Dialysis and owner of a 51% stake in Renal Advantage Partners, LLC (the Liberty Acquisition). This transaction was accounted for as a business combination, subject to fi nalization of the acquisition accounting which will be fi nalized in the near future. LD Holdings mainly provided dialysis services in the United States through the 263 clinics it owned (the Acquired Clinics).

Total consideration for the Liberty Acquisition was US\$ 2,180 million, consisting of US\$ 1,695 million cash, net of cash acquired and US\$ 485 million non-cash consideration. Accounting standards for business combinations require previously held equity interests to be fair valued with the difference to book value to be recognized as a gain or loss in income. Prior to the Liberty Acquisition, Fresenius Medical Care had a 49% equity investment in Renal Advantage Partners, LLC, the fair value of which, US\$ 202 million, is included as non-cash consideration. The estimated fair value has been determined based on the discounted cash fl ow method,

utilizing an approximately 13% discount rate. In addition to Fresenius Medical Care's investment, it also had a loan receivable from Renal Advantage Partners, LLC of US\$ 279 million, at a fair value of US\$ 283 million, which was retired as part of the transaction.

The following table summarizes the current estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. Any adjustments to acquisition accounting, net of related income tax effects, will be recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

US\$ in millions
Assets held for sale 163
Trade accounts receivable 156
Other current assets 30
Deferred tax assets 15
Property, plant and equipment 174
Intangible assets and other assets 86
Goodwill 1,990
Accounts payable, accrued expenses
and other short-term liabilities
- 128
Income tax payable and deferred taxes - 43
Short-term borrowings and other fi nancial liabilities
and long-term debt and capital lease obligations
- 72
Other liabilities - 26
Noncontrolling interests (subject and
not subject to put provisions)
- 165
Total acquisition cost 2,180
Less, at fair value, non-cash contributions
Investment at acquisition date - 202
Long-term Notes Receivable - 283
Total non-cash items - 485
Net Cash paid 1,695

It is currently estimated that amortizable intangible assets acquired in this acquisition will have weighted-average useful lives of 6 – 8 years.

Goodwill in the amount of US\$ 1,990 million was acquired as part of the Liberty Acquisition. Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefi ts arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identifi ed and separately recognized. Goodwill arises principally due to the fair value placed on acquiring an established stream of future cash fl ows versus building a similar franchise. Of the goodwill recognized in this acquisition, approximately US\$ 436 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and amortized over a 15 year period.

The noncontrolling interests acquired as part of the acquisition are stated at estimated fair value, subject to fi nalization of the acquisition accounting, based upon utilized implied multiples used in conjunction with the Liberty Acquisition, as well as Fresenius Medical Care's overall experience and contractual multiples typical for such arrangements.

LD Holdings' results have been included in the consolidated statement of income since February 29, 2012. Specifi cally, LD Holdings has contributed sales and operating income in the amount of US\$ 503 million (€ 392 million) and US\$ 125 million (€ 98 million) before taxes, respectively, to the consolidated income. This amount for operating income does not include synergies which may have resulted at consolidated entities outside LD Holdings since the acquisition closed. In addition, the results include those of divested Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (FMC-AG & Co. KGaA) clinics prior to their divestiture.

The fair valuation of Fresenius Medical Care's investment at the time of the Liberty Acquisition resulted in a non-taxable gain of US\$ 140 million and is presented in the separate line item investment gain in the consolidated statement of income. The retirement of the loan receivable resulted in a benefi t of US\$ 9 million which was recognized in net interest.

Divestitures

In connection with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consent order relating to the Liberty Acquisition, Fresenius Medical Care agreed to divest a total of 62 renal dialysis centers. In the fi rst three quarters of 2012, 24 of the 61 clinics sold were FMC-AG & Co. KGaA clinics, which resulted in a US\$ 33.5 million gain.

In the fi rst three quarters of 2012, the income tax expense related to the sale of these clinics of approximately US\$ 22.0 million has been recorded in the line item income taxes in the consolidated statement of income, resulting in a net gain of approximately US\$ 11.5 million. The after-tax gain was offset by the after-tax effects of the costs associated with the Liberty Acquisition.

Pro forma fi nancial information

The following fi nancial information, on a pro forma basis, refl ects the consolidated results of operations as if the Liberty Acquisition and the divestitures described before had been consummated on January 1, 2011. The pro forma information includes adjustments primarily for elimination of the investment gain and the gain from the retirement of debt. The pro forma fi nancial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as it would have been had the transactions been consummated on January 1, 2011.

FRESENIUS KABI

On July 20, 2012, Fresenius Kabi announced the signing of a purchase agreement to acquire Fenwal Holdings, Inc., a leading U.S.-based provider of transfusion technology products for blood collection, separation and processing.

In 2011, Fenwal Holdings, Inc. had sales of US\$ 614 million with an adjusted EBITDA of US\$ 90 million. The company, with about 4,900 employees worldwide, runs a state-of-the-art R & D center and operates fi ve manufacturing facilities.

Financial terms were not disclosed. The transaction will be fi nanced initially from existing funds, whereas the proceeds of the May 2012 capital increase exceed the transaction value.

The transaction is subject to the approvals by the relevant antitrust authorities, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012.

FRESENIUS HELIOS

In the fi rst three quarters of 2012, Fresenius Helios spent € 567 million on acquisitions, mainly for the acquisition of 94.7% of the share capital in the Damp Holding AG (Damp), Germany, completed in March 2012. The transaction could be closed after approval by local and antitrust authorities.

The Fresenius Group has consolidated Damp as of March 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. This preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based upon the best information available to management at present. Due to the relatively short interval between the closing date of the acquisition and the date of the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, this information may be incomplete. Any adjustments to the preliminary allocation, net of related income tax effects, will be recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

€ in millions
Working capital and other assets 65
Assets 252
Other liabilities - 133
Goodwill 366
Total acquisition cost 550

The acquisition increased the total assets of the Fresenius Group by € 0.7 billion. The capitalized goodwill in an amount of € 0.4 billion is not deductible for tax purposes.

FRESENIUS VAMED

In the fi rst three quarters of 2012, Fresenius Vamed spent € 42 million on acquisitions, mainly for the acquisition of H.C. Hospital Consulting S.p.A., Italy, and the intercompany acquisition of the HELIOS Klinik Zihlschlacht AG, Switzerland, from HELIOS Kliniken GmbH.

CORPORATE / OTHER

In May 2012, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA invested most of the proceeds of the capital increase temporarily in the amount of € 952 million in German Federal Treasury Notes. Thereof, € 200 million became due in September 2012 of which € 50 million were reinvested in German Federal Treasury Notes and € 150 million were transferred as bank deposit into cash and cash equivalents. Thereafter, as of September 30, 2012, German Federal Treasury Notes with a fair value of € 801 million remained.

In November and December 2011, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA purchased 1,399,996 ordinary shares of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (FMC-AG & Co. KGaA). In January and February 2012, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA purchased further 2,100,004 ordinary shares of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA. Therefore, the voting rights in FMC-AG & Co. KGaA increased to 31.2% at September 30, 2012. A total of 3.5 million shares were acquired with a total transaction volume of approximately € 184 million.

Offer to the shareholders of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG

On April 26, 2012, Fresenius announced its intention to make a voluntary public takeover offer to RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG shareholders of € 22.50 per share in cash. The total purchase price for all outstanding shares in the company was approximately € 3.1 billion. The offer was contingent upon a minimum acceptance threshold of 90% and one share of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG's share capital at the end of the offer period, amongst others, and on antitrust approval.

At the end of the offer period, 84.3% of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG shares had been tendered. The minimum acceptance threshold of more than 90% was not met. Consequently, the tender offer was not consummated.

Relating to the offer to the shareholders of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, until September 5, 2012, Fresenius acquired 6.9 million shares of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG. This is equivalent to 5.0% of the subscribed capital of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG.

Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA for the fi rst three quarters of 2012 in the amount of € 685 million includes a special item relating to the acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings, Inc. by Fresenius Medical Care.

4. INVESTMENT GAIN

Fresenius Medical Care's acquisition of the remaining 51% stake in Renal Advantage Partners, LLC, in addition to its 49% equity investment held previously, represents a business combination achieved in stages in which the previous equity investment was measured at its fair value at the date of the acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings, Inc. The resultant non-taxable income of US\$ 140 million (€ 109 million) is presented in the separate line item investment gain in the consolidated statement of income.

5. OTHER FINANCIAL RESULT

In the fi rst three quarters of 2012, the item other fi nancial result in the amount of - € 37 million comprises the fi nancing costs, mainly the costs for the fi nancing commitment, related to the offer to the shareholders of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG.

Until 2011, the item other fi nancial result included the following special expenses and income with regard to the acquisition of APP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (APP) and its fi nancing:

The Contingent Value Rights (CVR) awarded to the APP shareholders were traded on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in the United States. Following a request to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in the fi rst quarter of 2011, the CVR were deregistered and delisted from the NASDAQ due to the expiration of the underlying agreement and became valueless. As a result, an income of € 5 million was recognized in the fi rst three quarters of 2011.

The issued Mandatory Exchangeable Bonds matured on August 14, 2011. Due to their contractual defi nition, they included derivative fi nancial instruments that were measured at fair value. This measurement resulted in an expense (before tax) of € 105 million in the fi rst three quarters of 2011.

6. TAXES

Fresenius Medical Care fi led claims for refunds contesting the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) disallowance of Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc.'s (FMCH) civil settlement payment deductions taken by FMCH in prior year tax returns. As a result of a settlement agreement with the IRS, Fresenius Medical Care received a partial refund in September 2008 of US\$ 37 million, inclusive of interest and preserved the right to pursue claims in the United States Courts for refunds of all other

disallowed deductions, which totaled approximately US\$ 126 million. On December 22, 2008, Fresenius Medical Care fi led a complaint for complete refund in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, styled as Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. v. United States. On August 15, 2012, a jury entered a verdict for FMCH granting additional deductions of US\$ 95 million. The District Court is now considering the terms of the judgment to be entered against the United States to refl ect the amount of the tax refund due to FMCH.

During the fi rst three quarters of 2012, there were no further material changes relating to tax audits, accruals for income taxes, unrecognized tax benefi ts as well as recognized and accrued payments for interest and penalties. Explanations regarding the tax audits and further information can be found in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2011 Annual Report.

The transaction generated gross proceeds of € 1,014.3 million and increased the subscribed capital by € 13.8 million. The new shares have full dividend entitlement for the fi scal year 2012.

During the fi rst three quarters of 2012, 907,274 stock options were exercised. Consequently, as of September 30, 2012, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA including the new shares of the capital increase consisted of 177,944,610 bearer ordinary shares. The shares are issued as non-par value shares. The proportionate amount of the subscribed capital is € 1.00 per share.

CONDITIONAL CAPITAL

Corresponding to the stock option plans, the Conditional Capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA is divided into Conditional Capital I, Conditional Capital II and Conditional Capital III.

These are used to satisfy the subscription rights in connection with previously issued stock options or convertible bonds, as the case may be, for bearer ordinary shares under the stock option plans of 1998, 2003 and 2008 (see note 23, Stock options).

By resolution on May 11, 2012, the Annual General Meeting of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA authorized the general partner, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, until May 10, 2017, to issue option bearer bonds and / or convertible bearer bonds, once or several times, for a total nominal amount of up to € 2.5 billion.

KGaA was increased conditionally by up to € 16,323,734 through issuing of up to 16,323,734 new bearer ordinary shares (Conditional Capital IV). The change of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's articles of association with regard to the Conditional Capital IV became effective upon registration with the commercial register on July 4, 2012. The conditional capital increase shall only be implemented to the extent that the holders of convertible bonds issued for cash or of warrants from option bonds issued for cash exercise their conversion or option rights and as long as no other forms of settlement are used (Conditional Capital IV).

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL

By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2011, the previous Authorized Capitals I to V were revoked and a new Authorized Capital I was created.

In accordance with the new provision in the articles of association of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, the general partner, Fresenius Management SE, is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, until May 12, 2016, to increase Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's subscribed capital by a total amount of up to € 40,320,000 through a single issue or multiple issues of new bearer ordinary shares against cash contributions and / or contributions in kind (Authorized Capital I). A subscription right must be granted to the shareholders in principle. In defi ned cases, the general partner is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to decide on the exclusion of the shareholders' subscription right (e. g. to eliminate fractional amounts). For cash contributions, the authorization can only be exercised if the issue price is not signifi cantly

below the stock exchange price of the already listed shares at the time the issue price is fi xed with fi nal effect by the general partner. Furthermore, the proportionate amount of the shares issued with exclusion of subscription rights may not exceed 10% of the subscribed capital neither at the time of the resolution on the authorization nor at the time of the utilization of the authorization. In the case of a contribution in kind, the subscription right can be excluded only in order to acquire a company, parts of a company or a participation in a company. The authorizations granted concerning the exclusion of subscription rights can be used by the general partner only to such extent that the proportional amount of the total number of shares issued with exclusion of the subscription rights does not exceed 20% of the subscribed capital, neither at the time of the resolution on the authorization nor at the time of the utilization of the authorization.

The changes to the Authorized Capital became effective upon registration of the amendments to the articles of association with the commercial register on July 11, 2011.

In May 2012, a dividend of € 0.95 per bearer ordinary share was approved by Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and paid. The total dividend payment was € 155 million.

OTHER NOTES

18. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Fresenius Group is routinely involved in numerous claims, lawsuits, regulatory and tax audits, investigations and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of its business of providing healthcare services and products. Legal matters that the Fresenius Group currently deems to be material are described below. For the matters described below in which the Fresenius Group believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, an estimate of the loss or range of loss exposure is provided. For the other matters described below, the Fresenius Group believes that the loss probability is remote and / or the loss or range of possible losses cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always diffi cult to predict accurately and outcomes that are not consistent with Fresenius Group's view of the merits can occur. The Fresenius Group believes that it has valid defenses to the legal matters pending against it and is defending itself vigorously. Nevertheless, it is possible that the resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and fi nancial condition.

Further information regarding legal disputes, court proceedings and investigations can be found in detail in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2011 Annual Report. In the following, only the changes during the fi rst three quarters ended September 30, 2012 compared to the information provided in the consolidated fi nancial statements are described.

BAXTER PATENT DISPUTE "TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACES" (1)

Upon the remand in 2011, the district court reduced the post verdict damages award to US\$ 10 million and US\$ 61 million of the escrowed funds was returned to FMCH. In the parallel reexamination of the last surviving patent, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Offi ce and the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences ruled that the remaining Baxter patent is invalid. On May 17, 2012, the Federal Circuit affi rmed the U.S. Patent and Trademark Offi ce's ruling and invalidated the fi nal remaining Baxter patent.

Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., Case No. 12-cv-06890, alleging that FMCH's LibertyTM cycler infringes certain U.S. patents that were issued to Baxter between October 2010 and June 2012. Fresenius Medical Care believes it has valid defenses to these claims, and will defend this litigation vigorously.

RENAL CARE GROUP – CLASS ACTION "ACQUISITION"

Subject to the approval of the Nashville Chancery Court, the plaintiff has agreed to dismiss the complaint with prejudice against the plaintiff and all other class members in exchange for a payment that is not material to Fresenius Medical Care.

RENAL CARE GROUP – COMPLAINT "METHOD II"

The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings and trial only on the unjust enrichment and 'steering' counts of the complaint. Fresenius Medical Care will contest those counts if they are pursued.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE HOLDINGS - QUI TAM COMPLAINT (WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS)

On July 30, 2012, the Court of Appeals affi rmed the District Court's judgment in FMCH's favor.

SUBPOENA "AMERICAN ACCESS CARE, LLC"

Civil investigative demands were issued under the supervision of the United States Attorneys for Rhode Island and Connecticut to American Access Care, LLC (AAC) and certain affi liated entities prior to Fresenius Medical Care's acquisition of AAC in October 2011. In March 2012, a third subpoena was issued under the supervision of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida (Miami). The subpoenas cover a wide range of documents and activities of AAC, but appear to focus on coding and billing practices and procedures. Fresenius Medical Care has assumed responsibility for responding to the subpoenas and is cooperating fully with the United States Attorneys.

INTERNAL REVIEW

Fresenius Medical Care has received communications alleging certain conduct in certain countries outside the U.S. and Germany that may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or other anti-bribery laws. In response to the allegations, the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of Fresenius Medical Care's Supervisory Board is conducting an internal review with the assistance of independent counsel retained for such purpose. Fresenius Medical Care voluntarily advised the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice that allegations

have been made and of Fresenius Medical Care's internal review. Fresenius Medical Care has also directed its independent counsel, in conjunction with Fresenius Medical Care's Compliance Department, to review Fresenius Medical Care's internal controls related to compliance with international anti-bribery laws and identify any potential enhancements to such controls. Fresenius Medical Care is fully committed to FCPA compliance. It cannot predict the outcome of its review.

RENEGOTIATION OF LICENSE AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

As a result of changes in the IV Iron market, Fresenius Medical Care plans to renegotiate its 2008 license, distribution, manufacturing and supply agreement with Luitpold Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and American Regent, Inc. for Iron products sold under the Venofer brand.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values as well as the fair value hierarchy levels of Fresenius Group's fi nancial instruments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, classifi ed into classes:

Sept. 30, 2012 Dec. 31, 2011
€ in millions Fair value
hierarchy level
Carrying
amount
Fair value Carrying
amount
Fair value
Cash and cash equivalents 1 968 968 635 635
Assets recognized at carrying amount 3 3,603 3,603 3,428 3,427
Assets recognized at fair value 1 907 907 0 0
Liabilities recognized at carrying amount 2 12,093 12,614 10,627 10,874
Liabilities recognized at fair value 2 25 25 18 18
Noncontrolling interest subject to put provisions recognized at fair value 3 422 422 317 317
Derivatives for hedging purposes 2 - 112 - 112 - 212 - 212

The signifi cant methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of fi nancial instruments as well as classifi cation of fair value measurements according to the three-tier fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals the fair value.

The nominal value of short-term fi nancial instruments such as accounts receivable and payable and short-term debt represents its carrying amount, which is a reasonable estimate of the fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

The fair values of major long-term fi nancial instruments are calculated on the basis of market information. Financial instruments for which market quotes are available are measured with the market quotes at the reporting date. The fair values of the other long-term fi nancial liabilities are calculated at the present value of respective future cash fl ows. To determine these present values, the prevailing interest rates and credit spreads for the Fresenius Group as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position are used.

The fair value of Fresenius Medical Care's loan to Renal Advantage Partners, LLC was based on signifi cant unobservable inputs of comparable instruments and thus the class assets recognized at carrying amount consisting of trade accounts receivable and this loan is classifi ed as fair value hierarchy Level 3.

The class assets recognized at fair value comprises the German Federal Treasury Notes and the acquired shares of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG. The fair values of these assets are calculated on the basis of market information. Therefore, this class is classifi ed as Level 1.

The class liabilities recognized at carrying amount is classifi ed as hierarchy Level 2.

The carrying amounts of derivatives embedded in the Mandatory Exchangeable Bonds (MEB) and the Contingent Value Rights (CVR) corresponded with their fair values. The MEB matured on August 14, 2011. The embedded derivatives were meas ured at fair value, which was estimated based on a Black-Scholes model which uses signifi cant other observable inputs. Therefore, they were classifi ed as Level 2.

The CVR were traded on the stock exchange in the United States and were therefore valued with the current stock exchange price until December 31, 2010. Consequently, they were classifi ed as Level 1. In the fi rst quarter of 2011, the CVR were deregistered and delisted from the NASDAQ due to the expiration of the underlying agreement and became valueless.

The class liabilities recognized at fair value mainly consisted of embedded derivatives and the CVR and was consequently classifi ed in its entirety as the lower hierarchy Level 2.

The valuation of the class noncontrolling interest subject to put provisions recognized at fair value is determined using signifi cant unobservable inputs. It is therefore classifi ed as Level 3.

FAIR VALUES OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivatives, mainly consisting of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, are valued as follows: The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated by discounting the future cash fl ows on the basis of the market interest rates applicable for the remaining term of the contract as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position. To determine the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, the contracted forward rate is compared to the current forward rate for the remaining term of the contract as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position. The result is then discounted on the basis of the market interest rates prevailing at the date of the statement of fi nancial position for the respective currency.

Fresenius Group's own credit risk is incorporated in the fair value estimation of derivatives that are liabilities. Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are factored into the valuation of derivatives that are assets.

For the fair value measurement of the class deriv atives for hedging purposes, signifi cant other observable inputs are used. Therefore, they are classifi ed as Level 2 in accordance with the defi ned fair value hierarchy levels.

Currently, there is no indication that a decrease in the value of Fresenius Group's fi nancing receivables is probable. Therefore, the allowances on credit losses of fi nancing receivables are immaterial.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments and foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments are classifi ed as derivatives for hedging purposes.

Derivative fi nancial instruments are marked to market each reporting period, resulting in carrying amounts equal to fair values at the reporting date.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, are also solely entered into to hedge economic business transactions and not for speculative purposes.

Derivatives for hedging purposes were recognized at gross value within other assets in an amount of € 21 million and other liabilities in an amount of € 133 million.

The current portion of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts indicated as assets in the previous table is recognized within other current assets in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, while the current portion of those indicated as liabilities is included in short-term accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities. The non-current portions indicated as assets or liabilities are recognized in other non-current assets or in long-term accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively. The derivatives embedded in the MEB were recognized within other short-term liabilities until the maturity of the MEB.

Losses from derivatives in fair value hedging relationships and from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments recognized in the consolidated statement of income are faced by gains from the underlying transactions in the corresponding amount.

The Fresenius Group expects to recognize a net amount of € 5 million of the existing losses for foreign exchange contracts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of income within the next 12 months. For interest rate contracts, the Fresenius Group expects to recognize € 49 million of losses in the course of normal business during the next 12 months in interest expense.

Gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts and the corresponding underlying transactions are accounted for as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and net interest. Gains and losses resulting from interest rate contracts are recognized as net interest in the consolidated statement of income. Until 2011, the position other fi nancial result in the consolidated statement of income included gains and losses from the valuation of the derivatives embedded in the MEB, which was made until August 14, 2011 (see note 5, Other fi nancial result).

MARKET RISK

General

The Fresenius Group is exposed to effects related to foreign exchange fl uctuations in connection with its international business activities that are denominated in various currencies. In order to fi nance its business operations, the Fresenius Group issues senior notes and commercial papers and enters into mainly long-term credit agreements and euro notes (Schuldscheindarlehen) with banks. Due to these fi nancing activities, the Fresenius Group is exposed to interest risk caused by changes in variable interest rates and the risk of changes in the fair value of statement of fi nancial position items bearing fi xed interest rates.

In order to manage the risk of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fl uctuations, the Fresenius Group enters into certain hedging transactions with highly rated fi nancial institutions as authorized by the Management Board. Derivative fi nancial instruments are not entered into for trading purposes.

The Fresenius Group defi nes benchmarks for individual exposures in order to quantify interest and foreign exchange risks. The benchmarks are derived from achievable and sustainable market rates. Depending on the individual benchmarks, hedging strategies are determined and generally implemented by means of micro hedges.

Derivative fi nancial instruments

Foreign exchange risk management

Solely for the purpose of hedging existing and foreseeable foreign exchange transaction exposures, the Fresenius Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and, on a small scale, foreign exchange options. To ensure that no foreign exchange risks result from loans in foreign currencies, the Fresenius Group enters into foreign exchange swap contracts.

As of September 30, 2012, the notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts totaled € 3,088 million. These foreign exchange contracts have been entered into to hedge risks from operational business and in connection with loans in foreign currency. The predominant part of the foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge risks from operational business was recognized as cash fl ow hedge, while foreign exchange contracts in connection with loans in foreign currencies are partly recognized as fair value hedges. The fair values of cash fl ow hedges and fair value hedges were - € 10 million and € 1 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2012, the Fresenius Group was party to foreign exchange contracts with a maximum maturity of 38 months.

Interest rate risk management

The Fresenius Group enters into interest rate swaps and, on a small scale, into interest rate options in order to protect against the risk of rising interest rates. These interest rate derivatives are mainly designated as cash fl ow hedges and have been entered into in order to convert payments based on variable interest rates into payments at a fi xed interest rate and in anticipation of future debt issuances.

As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate swaps had a notional volume of US\$ 1,200 million (€ 928 million) and € 677 million as well as fair values of - US\$ 36 million and - € 50 million, respectively, which expire between 2012 and 2022.
