In North America, the operating margin increased by 60 basis points from 15.8% to 16.4% in the first quarter of 2008. The strong underlying business was supported by the increase in underlying reimbursement rates, dialysis services cost containment and a continued strong performance of renal products and PhosLo. This was partially offset by a lower utilization and reduced reimbursement rates for EPO.
In the International segment, the operating margin decreased by 60 basis points to 17.0% mainly due to the growth in the dialysis care business through an increased number of De Novo clinics and associated start-up costs.
Earnings per share (EPS) for the first quarter of 2008 rose by 15% to $0.63 per ordinary share compared to $0.54 for the first quarter of 2007. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2008 was approximately 296.6 million shares compared to 295.2 million shares for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in shares outstanding resulted from stock option exercises in 2007 and in the first quarter 2008.
Cash Flow
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company generated $192 million incash from operations, representing approximately 8% of revenue. The cash flow generation was primarily affected by an increase in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 and higher income tax payments.
