  • Adjusted net income for Q4 declined by 29% to €263 million or down 32% at constant currency, mainly due to the mentioned negative effects on operating income.
  • Excluding special items, earnings per share declined by 29% to €0.90 from the previous year.
  • Operating income decreased by 3% to €449 million mainly due to a remeasurement effect on the fair value of investments, higher labor costs, the adverse COVID-19-related net effects, and inflationary materials cost increases. 
  • These effects were only slightly mitigated by an improved U.S. payor mix, in particular, due to an increased number of patients with Medicare Advantage coverage.
