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".

1 Outlook 2024 is based on the assumptions outlined in the earnings release for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 and excludes special items. Special items include the costs related to the FME25 Program, the Legal Form Conversion Costs, the impacts from Legacy Portfolio Optimization, the Humacyte Remeasurements and other effects that are unusual in nature and have not been foreseeable or not foreseeable in size or impact at the time of providing the outlook. The growth rates are based on the results 2023 excluding the costs related to the FME25 Program (€153 M for operating income), the Legal Form Conversion Costs (€30 M for operating income), the impacts from Legacy Portfolio Optimization (€204 M for operating income) and the Humacyte Remeasurements (-€15 M for operating income). Additionally, the results 2023 were adjusted for the Tricare settlement (-€191 M for revenue and -€181 M for operating income) and for the business impacts from closed divestitures in 2023 (-€214 M for revenue and -€20 M for operating income).
