Fresenius' Financial Statements Under Scrutiny
Fresenius, the global healthcare company, is gearing up to report its second-quarter results, with analysts predicting a revenue increase of nearly 4% to approximately 5.62 billion euros. This growth is largely driven by Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios, according to Falko Friedrichs of Deutsche Bank.
Despite the expected decline in treatment numbers due to Easter falling in the second quarter this year, Falko Friedrichs expects Fresenius to confirm its forecasts in its half-year report. Analysts surveyed on behalf of the company anticipate a decline in operating results for the second quarter, marking the first time in several quarters that Fresenius is expected to report such a decline.
Excluding currency and portfolio effects, the revenue increase is expected to be around 5% in the second quarter. The corresponding adjusted net income is expected to remain at last year's level of 408 million euros. On average, analysts expect the adjusted EBIT to decrease by more than 3% to 638 million euros.
Fresenius investors are optimistic, hoping for a solid quarter from the company and a confirmation of its annual targets. The management team led by CEO Michael Sen has factored in the risks of tariffs in its May-confirmed annual targets for 2025.
For Q2 2025, Fresenius group’s expected results include a revenue of €5,571 million, with an EBIT margin of 11.7%. The adjusted net income is expected to show strong 8% growth, outpacing revenue growth. Earnings Per Share (EPS) are projected to increase by 8% as well.
These figures exclude Fresenius Medical Care, which reported separate results with revenue at €4.79 billion and net income excluding special items of €268 million for Q2 2025. The guidance was raised by Fresenius for organic revenue growth, reflecting the company’s resilient performance and execution of its #FutureFresenius strategy.
New investors are advised to wait for possible positive chart signals before investing in Fresenius. A stop-loss at 35.00 euros has been suggested for Fresenius shares. It's worth noting that the adjusted net income margin is expected to deteriorate from 12.2 to 11.4 percent.
