Feb 25 (Reuters) - German healthcare group Fresenius FREG.DE narrowly beat analysts' expectations for fourth-quarter adjusted revenue on Wednesday, helped by a better performance at its hospital operator unit Helios.

The Hessian-based company reported quarterly revenue before special effects of 5.88 billion euros ($6.94 billion), above analysts' average estimate of 5.8 billion euros in a Vara consensus poll.

Fresenius also said it was to propose a dividend of 1.05 euros per share, above last year's payout of 1 euro per share.

($1 = 0.8477 euros)
