• Total volume of the share buyback is around EUR 1 billion over 12 months
• Share buyback expected to begin in the near future

BAD HOMBURG, Germany, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fresenius Medical Care (FME), the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, intends to execute a new share buyback program with a total volume of around EUR 1 billion. The program shall be executed in tranches over a period of 12 months from its start.

The share buyback program is based on the authorization to purchase and use treasury shares granted by the Company’s Annual General Meeting on May 21, 2026. It is expected to begin in the near future and only a few weeks after the previous share buyback program was successfully completed on April 30, 2026. As part of FME’s capital allocation framework, regular share buyback programs complement dividend payments and reflect the Company’s continued focus on disciplined capital allocation and value creation.

Helen Giza, CEO and Chair of the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care AG, said, “The new share buyback program reflects our unwavering commitment to create value and return capital to shareholders. Launching a new share buyback program shortly after successfully completing our initial EUR 1 billion share buyback – ahead of schedule – demonstrates our financial strength and disciplined execution. This new program underscores our confidence in our FME Reignite strategy, our performance, and the future sustainable profitable growth trajectory of Fresenius Medical Care.”

Martin Fischer, Chief Financial Officer of Fresenius Medical Care, said, “The new share buyback program is enabled by our strong operating cash-flow generation and financial discipline. Allocating capital to share buybacks delivers attractive and sustainable returns for shareholders.”
