Helen Giza, CEO and Chair of the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care AG, said: "We are delighted to return to the DAX 40. In Germany and worldwide, the index is synonymous with German innovative strength and entrepreneurial growth. This recognition underscores the continuous hard work of our employees for our patients and shareholders and is a strong testament of our performance. Our path had been defined always very clearly to return to the large-cap index by turning around the performance and by successfully executing our strategy. We have delivered what we promised, and we are very happy to be back.”
