Introduction
You should read the following discussion and analysis of the results of operations of Fresenius Medical
Care AG & Co. KGaA and its subsidiaries (FMC AG & CO. KGAA or the Company) in conjunction with our historical
consolidated financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. Some of the statements
contained below, including those concerning future revenue, costs and capital expenditures and possible
changes in our industry and competitive and financial conditions include forward-looking statements.
We made these forward-looking statements based on the expectations and beliefs of the management of
the Company’s General Partner concerning future events which may affect us, but we cannot assure that
such events will occur or that the results will be as anticipated. Because such statements involve risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the results which the forward-looking statements
express or imply. Such statements include the matters and are subject to the uncertainties that we described
in “Outlook” and “Risk Report”
in the corporate report as well as in Note 18.
Our business is also subject to other risks and uncertainties that we describe from time to time in our public
filings. Developments in any of these areas could cause our results to differ materially from the results that
we or others have projected or may project.
