Fresenius Medical Care completes divestment of Sound Inpatient Physicians Holdings
Fresenius Medical Care, the worlds largest provider of dialysis products and services, today announced the closing of the divestiture of Sound Inpatient Physicians Holdings, LLC (Sound) to an investment consortium led by Summit Partners as of June 28, 2018. The total transaction proceeds are $2.15 billion (EUR 1.85 billion1).
The divestment of Sound is aligned with Fresenius Medical Cares goal of further sharpening the profile of the companys Care Coordination portfolio. The transaction is expected to generate a positive effect on net income2 for Fresenius Medical Care of around USD 752 million3 (EUR 648 million1). This effect includes the half year impact from the increase in valuation of Sounds share based payment program caused by the divestment of Sound.
The financial targets for 2018 and 2020 do not include the effects of this divestiture. The divestment reduces on a constant currency basis Fresenius Medical Cares 2018 revenue expectations by around EUR 650 million and net income2 by around EUR 40 million. The growth rates indicated in the financial targets for 2018 will be achieved on a comparable basis4 following the divestiture of Sound.
Fresenius Medical Care is the worlds largest provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases of which around 3.2 million patients worldwide regularly undergo dialysis treatment. Through its network of 3,790 dialysis clinics, Fresenius Medical Care provides dialysis treatments for 322,253 patients around the globe. Fresenius Medical Care is also the leading provider of dialysis products such as dialysis machines or dialyzers. Along with its core business, the company provides related medical services in the field of Care Coordination. Fresenius Medical Care is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FME) and on the New York Stock Exchange (FMS).
