Usage of Alternative Performance Measures

The Fresenius Group uses alternative performance measures in its regulatory and mandatory publications that may represent so called non-GAAP-measures. These indicators are neither defined by US-GAAP nor by IFRS.

Within the internal control system of Fresenius non-GAAP-measures are used as key performance indicators.

The use of non-GAAP-measures for evaluating assets, financial and earnings position of Fresenius is not recommended on an isolated basis or as an alternative to the key performance indicators provided within the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US-GAAP and IFRS.

The non-GAAP-measures used are listed and explained below:

In order to measure the operating performance extending over several periods, key performance measures are “adjusted“ where applicable.
 

Adjustments may arise from acquisitions/divestitures or the adoption of new accounting standards. Reconciliation tables are available within the respective quarterly or annual report and present the composition of adjustments.

EBIT does include depreciation and write-ups on property, plant and equipment.

EBIT is calculated by subtracting cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses from sales.

EBIT margin is calculated as the ratio of EBIT to sales.

EBITDA is calculated from EBIT by adding depreciations recognized in income and deducting write-ups recognized in income, both, on intangible assets as well as property, plant and equipment.

EBITDA margin is calculated as the ratio of EBITDA to sales.

Financial key figure that shows the net balance of incoming and outgoing payments during a reporting period.

Operating cash flow is a financial measure showing cash inflows from operating activities during a period. Operating cash flow is calculated by subtracting non-cash income and adding non-cash expenses to net income.

Cash flow from investing activities is a financial measure opposing payments for the acquisition or purchase of property, plant and equipment and investments versus proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and investments.

Cash flow from financing activities is a financial measure showing how the investments of the reporting period were financed.

Cash flow from financing activities is calculated from additions to equity plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options less dividends paid plus proceeds from debt increase (loans, bonds, senior notes, etc.) less repayments of debt plus the change in noncontrolling interest plus proceeds from the hedge of exchange rate effects due to corporate financing.

Fresenius uses the cash flow before acquisitions and dividends as the financial measure for free cash flow. Cash flow before acquisitions and dividends is calculated by operating cash flow less investments (net). Net investments are calculated by payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment less proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

The cash conversion rate is defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow (cash flow before acquisitions and dividends; before interest, tax and special items) to operating income (EBIT) before special items. This allows us to assess our ability to generate cash and amongst others, also to pay dividends.

Net debt/EBITDA is a financial measure reflecting the ability of Fresenius to fulfill its payment obligations. Net debt and EBITDA are calculated at LTM (last twelve month) average exchange rates respectively.

Calculation of net debt:
Short-term debt
+ Short-term debt from related parties
+ Current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations
+ Current portion of Senior Notes
+ Long-term debt and capital lease obligations, less current portion
+ Senior Notes, less current portion
+ Convertible bonds
= Debt
- less cash and cash equivalents
= Net debt

Indicates the average number of days it takes for a receivable to be paid.

Growth that is generated by a company’s existing businesses and not by acquisitions, divestitures, or foreign exchange impact.

Constant currencies for income and expenses are calculated using prior year average rates; constant currencies for assets and liabilities are calculated using the mid-closing rate on the date of the respective statement of financial position.

Measure of a corporation’s profitability revealing how much profit a company generates
with the money shareholders have invested. ROE is calculated by fiscal year’s net income / total equity x 100.

 

Calculated by: (EBIT - taxes) / Invested capital

Invested capital = total assets + amortization of goodwill (accumulated) - deferred tax assets - cash and cash equivalents - trade accounts payable - accruals (without pension accruals) - other liabilities not bearing interest

Hospital Director Sandra Henek (left) and Deputy Ward Manager Regina Ascher say thanks and farewell to Nurse Florence de Peralta (center).

Her first look at Germany on that long-ago morning was not very encouraging. “Everything here looks so gray and dismal,” Florence de Peralta remembers thinking as she landed in Frankfurt back in February 1972. The young nurse was used to the warm temperatures of her native Philippines, not the cold winters of western Europe. But she had taken a decision to pursue a new life, so she got off the plane and started building it.

(Published: August 2015)

Forty-four years later, de Peralta, now 67 and recently retired from HELIOS Hospital Hünfeld, can look back on a successful career at the hospital and the founding and raising of a family in Germany. She’s glad she came, and that she stayed, even if it wasn’t always easy.

When Florence de Peralta arrived along with five other young Philippine nurses assigned to the hospital in Hünfeld, a town of 16,000 people some 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Frankfurt, Germany was far less multicultural than it is today. The six nurses only came because of an intergovernmental agreement that nurses from the Philippines would work in Germany to help overcome a serious nursing shortage. In total, some 3,000 Philippine nurses came between 1969 and 1973. Thousands of nurses from India and Korea were also recruited during those years.

The HELIOS clinic in Hünfeld

Today, advance preparation – especially language training – is customary for newcomers to Germany, but in Florence de Peralta’s day it wasn’t thought necessary. She arrived not knowing a word of German but was still expected to start right away at the hospital, “where we communicated with hand signals,” and take language lessons later.

She soon got used to her new country, though, with the help of colleagues and many friendly local people, including some families who helped her settle in and find her way around. “I was given a very warm welcome everywhere, both from the people in Hünfeld and from the colleagues and patients in the hospital,” Florence de Peralta recalls.

Still, Hünfeld is a small town, de Peralta was away from family and friends and living in a country with a very different culture. At times, homesickness was hard to shake. Then, at a gathering of the German-Philippine Association in Mainz, just west of Frankfurt, she bumped into Arsenio, whom she had known before taking her training back home. “He wouldn’t let me go,” she jokes of the man who would become her husband and with whom she has two children, Florian and Jennifer. She and Arsenio even worked together for a time in the Hünfeld hospital.

 

Florence de Peralta enters retirement with mixed feelings – sorry to say goodbye to work that has given her so much satisfaction, but grateful for the memories, the friends and colleagues, not to mention the many happy years of family life. “Nursing has brought me a lot of pleasure and joy,” Florence de Peralta says. “Having some understanding and sympathy for ill people and looking after them – that has always been my passion.” And for Florence and Arsenio de Peralta, there is still a lot to look forward to – including a long trip back to the country they left behind all those years ago for their new home in Germany.

Without the successful surgery by the medical team at HELIOS Hospital Hildesheim, life might have taken a hard turn for Frauke Quidde. She was cutting firewood on her small farm last year when her hand slipped inside a log-splitting machine and was almost completely severed at the wrist. “It was a total, absolute shock,” she recalled. “My right hand was literally hanging by threads.”

(Published: January 2016)

Every minute counted now. While waiting for emergency personnel to arrive at the farm near Braunschweig – a northern German city also known as Brunswick – Frauke Quidde had to use her left hand to hold the severed hand in place as best she could. Then she was moved into a rescue helicopter, which flew her approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) to HELIOS Hospital Hildesheim, where a surgical team headed by Dr. Bernd Rieck was standing ready in the operating room.

“It was crucial to restore the blood flow as quickly as possible,” explained Dr. Rieck, Chief Physician in the hospital’s Plastic, Aesthetic and Hand Surgery Department. “Every quarter hour increases the risk of permanent damage to the hand. So we not only needed to work very precisely, but also very quickly.”

“I was very lucky, but for me it was really a medical masterpiece.” 

Dr. Rieck, Resident Physician Jakob Krainski and the rest of the team decided to rejoin the blood vessels, tendons and nerves before stabilizing the bone – a reversal of the usual order. By the time blood started recirculating through the hand, “only” three hours had elapsed. “That is a phenomenally good time,” Dr. Rieck explained. “You had an old veteran like me and a young master working together at the operating table. This operation had already been performed at other hospitals, but they didn’t all do it as well. It was real teamwork.”

Just two days after the accident, Frauke Quidde could start moving her fingers, and she continued to make rapid progress during rehabilitation. Today, she is back working on the farm, doing all the things she did before: harvesting fruit, driving the tractor, and feeding the animals.

“Ms. Quidde is an extraordinarily brave and determined woman,” said Jakob Krainski. “The excellent result is also attributable to her positive approach: She really supported all the therapies and gave tremendous cooperation. I’m really proud of my patient, and she should feel proud, too.”

What Frauke Quidde mostly feels, though, are a sense of gratitude and a deep appreciation that she has been able to return to her old, active life. “I’m really thankful to the doctors, the nurses and the rest of the staff in Hildesheim that I can move my hand again and drive a car, and above all that I can lead an independent life,” she said. “That’s why it was clear to me that the first card I could write from the rehabilitation clinic would be to the medical team in Hildesheim. It was just a small ‘thank you’ to the doctors and the medical staff in the hospital. I was very lucky, but for me it was really a medical masterpiece. My husband and I are unbelievably grateful.”

View through the camera: Cinderella Glücklich during the shooting for the video interview

A staircase, but no elevator; a high shelf or a very heavy door: Routine, minor annoyances that most people hardly notice, but potentially insurmountable problems for someone in a wheelchair. Office life constantly throws up obstacles like these, so maybe the disabled should forget about working in “ordinary” companies and limit themselves to workshops for the handicapped or similar institutions?

(Published: July 2015)

“No,” Cinderella Glücklich replies, clearly and without hesitation. Yes, she has been disabled since birth and has to spend most of the day in a wheelchair, but she is not going to let that stop her from pursuing her dream of a career in public relations or marketing.

Glücklich has been studying Journalism and Corporate Communications since 2013 in Iserlohn, Germany, and, here at Fresenius, completed an internship in Corporate Communications and Human Resources Marketing. She told us a little bit about some of the difficulties she faces in daily life and, in particular, in searching for a job.

As a disabled person, what is it like searching for a job?
Searching for a job is very difficult for me. There are a lot of bureaucratic obstacles that make it hard for handicapped people to find a job. The barriers in people’s minds are a much bigger problem, though. Many employers refused to hire me because they thought that due to my disability I wouldn’t be able to work. But it’s not like that at all: Working is very important to me, because I want to be independent.

Cinderella Glücklich blogs about her life and the challenges she faces. Cinderella wants to break down prejudices and encourage other disabled people.

Did you decide at a very young age which career you wanted to pursue?
No, after finishing school, at first I looked for some vocational training. But at the government employment center they only wanted to send me to a training center for the severely handicapped. It seemed like an endless search, but in the end I got a year-long internship in a tourist information office. I really enjoyed that, and it enabled me to complete the work experience requirement for the diploma I needed to attend a technical university. After that, it turned out to be almost as difficult to find the right technical university with wheelchair accessibility. But I am happy in Iserlohn.

Your blog about living with a disability. What is your motivation?
In my blog I report first-hand about my life with a disability. I want to break down prejudices. It is very important that people lose their fear of contact with the disabled and the whole issue of disabilities. And it makes me very happy to encourage other disabled people to live their lives in their own way and to live up to their potential.

Why did you decide to do your internship at Fresenius?
I decided to do my internship at Fresenius because I liked that the company helps sick people. And I was completely won over by the uncomplicated way everyone handled my disability, right from the start. They see me as a regular colleague, not just as “the girl in the wheelchair” – and that feels great!

“The barriers in people’s minds are the worst”

Cinderella Glücklich has been handicapped since birth. In an interview, the Fresenius intern talked about the challenges she faces in daily life and in finding a job.

Using protons to take on cancer

One of the most advanced cancer treatments, proton beam therapy works by radiating the tumor with positively charged hydrogen atoms, and has major advantages over traditional radiation therapy. In 2020, Quirónsalud, the Spanish hospital group of Fresenius Helios,  has opened that country’s first proton beam therapy center.Quirónsalud has opted for the Proteus One, a unique proton beam therapy system which, unlike others systems, allows all the technology necessary for treatment to be grouped together in one multifunctional room. It includes a tumor-scanning system to help doctors determine the optimal dose for each part of the body being treated, as well as a state-of-the-art imaging systems. And Proteus One can rotate 360 degrees, to direct the beam from any desired angle.
