Insights

Equity analyst

2025 showed a major earnings rebound, but 2026 guidance is more cautious.

Fresenius Medical Care delivered sizeable profit improvement in 2025. Adjusted operating income rose to €2.21 billion, up 23%, with the margin reaching 11.3%. Adjusted net income increased 38% to €1.25 billion, and free cash flow improved to €1.78 billion.

The FME25+ efficiency program drove €238 million of additional annual savings, lifting total savings to €804 million, while portfolio exits trimmed €244 million of revenue but removed dilutive assets. At the same time, net debt fell to €9.2 billion and the net leverage ratio moved down to 2.5x.

Capital returns increased via a planned €1.49 dividend per share and a €1.0 billion buyback, partially funded despite ongoing investment and restructuring. For 2026, management expects revenue to be broadly flat and operating income to move within a positive or negative mid-single-digit range versus the €2.21 billion 2025 adjusted base, suggesting a consolidation year after the strong rebound.

On February 24, 2026, Fresenius Medical Care AG (the “Company”) issued a Press Release announcing its fourth quarter and full year results for the period ending December 31, 2025. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and the corresponding financial figures as Exhibit 99.2.

The attached Press Release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To supplement our fourth quarter and full year 2025 consolidated financial results presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, we have used non-GAAP financial measures, including (a) EBITDA, or operating income excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, (b) free cash flow, (c) net leverage ratio (ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA) and (d) results presented in constant currency and as adjusted for special items identified in the Press Release and associated tables. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP financial measures in our financial results, we believe the inclusion of these non-IFRS financial measures provides consistency and comparability in our financial reporting to prior periods for which these non-GAAP financial measures were previously reported. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for or be considered superior to GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS financial measures are included in the attached Financial Statements. As the reconciliation of amounts stated in Constant Currency is inherent in the disclosure included in the Press Release, we believe that a separate reconciliation would not provide any additional benefit.

The Exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Bad Homburg, Germany (February 24, 2026) – “Fresenius Medical Care closed a milestone year marked by outstanding profitability gains. Over the past three years, we built a stronger and more resilient company, meeting all key financial and strategic aspects of the mid-term outlook that we had set for 2025. These achievements reflect our disciplined focus on operational and financial excellence. In 2025, we delivered revenue and operating income growth at the upper end of our outlook, overcoming a difficult market environment,” said Helen Giza, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care AG. “Our operating income margin of 11.3% is well within the mid-term margin target band we established three years ago for 2025. The Group’s step-up in profitability was the result of solid business growth, accelerated FME25+ efficiency gains, higher-than-expected benefits from TDAPA regulation and favorable reimbursement developments, with all segments making meaningful contributions. This progress underscores our ongoing commitment and value creation focus.”

FME Reignite set for next phase of value creation

Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal disease, successfully concluded its milestone year 2025 and embarked into the next phase of value creation with its FME Reignite strategy. Introduced at the Capital Markets Day in June 2025, the new strategy focuses on strengthening our core operations, driving profitable growth and innovation, and advancing the company culture.

In 2025, Fresenius Medical Care began a soft launch of the high-volume hemodiafiltration (HVHDF) capable 5008X CAREsystem in select U.S. clinics, with plans for a large-scale rollout starting in 2026. The company invests in the training of over 7,200 nurses and technicians and the transition of about 36,000 patients to the new system across 28 states. By replacing approximately 20% of its dialysis machines every year, Fresenius Medical Care aims to provide faster access to this therapy and its associated mortality benefits.

Operational efficiency: In 2025, the FME25+ transformation program further accelerated its positive momentum, delivering EUR 238 million additional sustainable savings for the full year 2025, ahead of the upgraded full year target of around EUR 220 million. Accumulated savings of the entire program reached EUR 804 million. Related one-time costs, treated as special items, were EUR 194 million in 2025, adding up to EUR 793 million since the start of the program in 2021. The company is continuing its strong progress and will accelerate and further expand the FME25+ program. It now projects additional savings of EUR 150 million, increasing the total to EUR 1.2 billion by the end of 2027. Program costs are expected to also be around EUR 1.2 billion within the same period.

Page 2/11

Portfolio Optimization: Fresenius Medical Care continued the execution of its portfolio optimization plan to exit non-core and dilutive assets, emphasizing the company´s focus on product areas, businesses and markets with the best strategic fit, scale and sustainable profitable growth potential. Transactions negatively impacted revenue by EUR 244 million in 2025, translating into a 130 basis points growth headwind. The related negative impact on operating income was EUR 97 million in the full year 2025, treated as special item. All assets divested since 2023 include 391 facilities, around 12,600 employees and 53,600 dialysis patients.

Dividend and share buyback: In 2025, Fresenius Medical Care introduced a new capital allocation framework. The framework foresees a stable and predictable dividend development that results in a payout ratio of 30% to 40% of net income⁴. The planned dividend proposal for fiscal year 2025 of EUR 1.49 per share is a 3% increase and corresponds to a payout of 33% of adjusted net income. Shareholder returns through dividends are complemented by a share buyback program of EUR 1.0 billion currently being executed in two tranches. The first tranche of up to EUR 600 million was initiated on August 11, 2025, and completed in an accelerated way on December 29, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, 14.1 million shares were repurchased for a total investment amount of EUR 586 million. The second tranche of around EUR 414 million started on January 12, 2026, and is planned to end by May 8, 2026. The entire program is therefore expected to be completed in less than one year instead of within two years.

In parallel, net financial debt was further reduced by 6% to EUR 9.2 billion. The corresponding net leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) decreased to 2.5x at the end of 2025, compared to 2.9x at the end of 2024, and sits at the lower end of the target corridor of 2.5x to 3.0x.

Fresenius Medical Care ends the year with strong revenue growth

In the fourth quarter 2025, Group revenue remained stable compared to prior year (+7% at constant currency, +8% organic¹) with EUR 5,070 million. Strong organic revenue growth was driven by Value-Based Care and Care Delivery. Significant currency effects negatively impacted revenue development in all three operating segments. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan negatively affected the revenue development by 70 basis points.

Care Delivery revenue decreased by 2% (+6% at constant currency, +7% organic¹) to EUR 3,507 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan negatively affected the revenue development by 120 basis points.

In Care Delivery U.S., revenue decreased by 1% (+8% at constant currency, +8% organic¹) to EUR 2,956 million. Impacts from TDAPA reimbursement regulations, favorable rate and payor mix effects, and reduced implicit price concessions had a positive impact while exchange rates developed unfavorably. U.S. same market treatment growth remained flat (-0.2%).

⁴ Net income attributable to shareholders of FME AG excluding special items

Page 3/11

In Care Delivery International, revenue decreased by 6% (-4% at constant currency, +3% organic¹) to EUR 551 million. The effects of closed or sold operations, mainly related to portfolio optimization, and unfavorable exchange rates were partially offset by organic growth¹. International same market treatment growth amounted to 1.7%.

Value-Based Care revenue significantly grew by 32% (+42% at constant currency, +42% organic¹) to EUR 637 million. Growth in the quarter was driven by a significantly higher number of member months mainly due to contract expansion, while exchange rates developed unfavorably.

Care Enablement revenue decreased by 9% (-3% at constant currency, -3% organic¹) to EUR 1,401 million. Unfavorable exchange rate effects as well as lower volumes, driven by negative impacts from volume-based procurement and other regulatory policies in China, were partly offset by overall positive pricing momentum.

Within Inter-segment eliminations⁵, revenue for services provided and products transferred between the operating segments at fair market value came in at negative EUR 475 million.

In the full year 2025, Group revenue increased by 2% (+5% at constant currency, +8% organic¹) to EUR 19,628 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan negatively impacted the revenue development by 130 basis points. Care Delivery revenue decreased by 2% (+2% at constant currency, +5% organic¹) to EUR 13,736 million, with Care Delivery U.S. flat year-on-year (+4% at constant currency, +5% organic¹) at EUR 11,507 million and Care Delivery International decreasing by 10% (-9% at constant currency, +4% organic¹) to EUR 2,229 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan negatively affected the revenue development of Care Delivery by 210 basis points and the revenue development of Care Delivery International by 1,200 basis points. U.S. same market treatment growth came in flat (0.0%) while international same market treatment growth amounted to 2.0%. Value-Based Care revenue increased by 28% (+34% at constant currency, +34% organic¹) to EUR 2,247 million. Care Enablement revenue decreased by 1% (+2% at constant currency, +2% organic¹) to EUR 5,476 million. Inter-segment eliminations decreased to a deduction of EUR 1,831 million.

Strong earnings growth momentum and double-digit operating income margin

In the fourth quarter 2025, Group operating income more than doubled and increased by 129% (+144% at constant currency) to EUR 594 million, resulting in a margin of 11.7% (Q4 2024: 5.1%). Operating income excluding special items significantly increased by 44% (+53% at constant currency) to EUR 705 million, resulting in a margin² of 13.9% (Q4 2024: 9.6%). Divestitures realized during the fourth quarter were neutral on operating income margin development.

⁵  The company transfers products from the Care Enablement segment to the Care Delivery segment at fair market value. Services provided by the Care Delivery segment for patients managed under the Value-Based Care segment are also provided at fair market value. The associated internal revenues and expenses and all other consolidation of transactions are included within “Inter-segment eliminations”.

Page 4/11

Operating income in Care Delivery increased by 103% (+122% at constant currency) to EUR 528 million, resulting in a margin of 15.1% (Q4 2024: 7.3%). Operating income excluding special items significantly grew by 34% (+45% at constant currency) to EUR 574 million, resulting in a margin² of 16.4% (Q4 2024: 12.0%). Compared to previous year, operating income development was driven by the further accelerated positive impact from TDAPA reimbursement regulations, positive rate and payor mix effects, income attributable to a consent agreement on certain pharmaceuticals and savings from the FME25+ program. The development was negatively impacted by higher personnel expenses including elevated medical benefit costs as well as other inflationary cost increases.

Operating income in Value-Based Care increased to EUR 29 million, compared to a loss of EUR 7 million in the prior year, resulting in a margin of 4.5% (Q4 2024: -1.4%) and reflecting the quarterly earnings volatility, which is inherent to the business model. There were no special items in the fourth quarter of the current and prior year. The improvement compared to the previous year’s quarter was driven by a favorable savings rate for certain contracts, partially offset by an unfavorable effect from CKCC programs.

Operating income in Care Enablement decreased by 21% (-20% at constant currency) to EUR 56 million, resulting in a margin of 4.0% (Q4 2024: 4.6%). Operating income excluding special items decreased by 9% (-6% at constant currency) to EUR 107 million, resulting in a margin² of 7.7% (Q4 2024: 7.7%). The development compared to the previous year’s quarter was mainly driven by lower volumes in China, inflationary cost increases which developed in line with expectations, as well as higher-than-expected currency transaction effects. These negative effects were partially offset by savings from the FME25+ program and overall positive pricing developments.

Operating income for Corporate amounted to a loss of EUR 41 million (Q4 2024: loss of EUR 57 million). Humacyte remeasurements, treated as a special item in the Corporate line, amounted to EUR -14 million and virtual power purchase agreements amounted to EUR -5 million. Operating income excluding special items amounted to a loss of EUR 27 million (Q4 2024: loss of EUR 44 million).

In the full year 2025, Group operating income increased by 31% (+36% at constant currency) to EUR 1,827 million, resulting in a margin of 9.3% (FY 2024: 7.2%). Operating income excluding special items increased by 23% (+27% at constant currency) to EUR 2,212 million, reaching the upper end of the full year outlook and resulting in a margin² of 11.3% (FY 2024: 9.3%) within the 2025 mid-term target band. Divestitures realized during the full year were neutral on operating income margin² development. In Care Delivery, operating income increased by 33% (+40% at constant currency) to EUR 1,614 million, resulting in a margin of 11.8% (FY 2024: 8.7%). Operating income excluding special items increased by 13% (+19% at constant currency) to EUR 1,801 million, resulting in a margin² of 13.1% (FY 2024: 11.4%), within the 2025 mid-term target band. In Value-Based Care operating income improved to EUR 1 million compared to a loss of EUR 28 million in the prior year, resulting in a margin of 0.1% (FY 2024: -1.6%). Operating income excluding special items improved to EUR 3 million compared to a loss of EUR 28 million in the prior year, in line with the full year target of turning break-even and resulting in a positive margin² of 0.1% (FY 2024: -1.6%). In Care Enablement, operating income increased by 22% (+23% at constant currency) to EUR 326 million, resulting in a margin of 6.0% (FY 2024: 4.8%). Operating income excluding special items increased by 32% (+33% at constant currency) to EUR 442 million, resulting in a margin² of 8.1% (FY 2024: 6.0%), within the 2025 mid-term target band. Operating income for Corporate amounted to a loss of EUR 119 million (FY 2024: loss of EUR 48 million). Operating income excluding special items improved to a loss of EUR 38 million (FY 2024: loss of EUR 80 million), mainly due to a favorable impact from the valuation of virtual power purchase agreements.

Solid cash flow growth, net leverage ratio at low end of target corridor

In the fourth quarter 2025, operating cash flow increased by 20% to EUR 1,002 million (Q4 2024: EUR 832 million), resulting in a margin of 19.8% (Q4 2024: 16.4%). In the full year 2025, operating cash flow improved by 12% to EUR 2,681 million (FY 2024: EUR 2,386 million). The related margin came in at 13.7% (FY 2024: 12.3%). Both developments were mainly driven by the increase in net income, the improvement in cash collections and prior-year phasing of income tax payments.

During the quarter, the company closed the agreement to purchase its main production sites in Schweinfurt and St. Wendel, Germany, from Fresenius SE for a total amount of EUR 181 million.

Free cash flow⁶ decreased by 2% to EUR 584 million in the fourth quarter 2025 (Q4 2024: EUR 599 million), resulting in a margin of 11.5% (Q4 2024: 11.8%).

³ Services provided by the Care Delivery segment in the U.S. for patients managed under the Value-Based Care segment are provided at fair market value.

The associated internal revenues and expenses and all other consolidation of transactions are included within “Inter-segment eliminations”.

cc = constant currency. Changes in revenue, operating income and net income attributable to shareholders of FME AG include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate and present these financial measures using both IFRS Accounting Standards and at constant exchange rates to show changes in these metrics and other items without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, amounts received in local (non-euro) currency are translated into euro 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. The single quarter results are calculated as the variance between the current year-to-date results less the preceding quarter’s year-to-date which makes the single quarter subject to further foreign exchange fluctuation. This resulting percentage is a non-IFRS measure referring to a change as a percentage at constant currency. These currency-adjusted financial measures are identifiable by the designated term "Constant Currency".
