In North America, the operating margin decreased by 110 basis points from 16.4% to 15.3% in the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher personnel expenses, increased pharmaceutical costs and the impact of one less dialysis day in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. These effects were partially offset by increased dialysis treatment rates and sales of the newly licensed intravenous iron products.
In the International segment, the operating margin increased by 170 basis points to 18.7% due to reduced manufacturing costs and operating expenses.
A total of $111 million was spent forcapital expenditures, net of disposals.Free Cash Flow before acquisitions was $45 million compared to $39 million in the first quarter of 2008. A total of $36 million in cash was used foracquisitions net of divestitures.
