Orpea : Robust increase of +10.5% in H1 2017 revenues to €1,525.9m

Puteaux, 18 July 2017, 6.00 pm (CEST)

The ORPEA group, one of the leading European providers of long- and medium-term care (nursing homes, post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and homecare services), has today announced its revenues for the first half of 2017 (six months ended 30 June).

Sanyres in Spain has been consolidated since 1st July 2016, Spitex in Switzerland since 1st January 2017, and Anavita in Czechy since 1st April 2017. Dr. Dr. Wagner in Austria will be consolidated at 1st July 2017.

1 Organic growth is calculated based on an equivalent number of days to 2016 and reflects the following factors: 1. The year-on-year change in the revenues of existing facilities as a result of changes in their occupancy rates and daily rates; 2. The year-on-year change in the revenues of redeveloped facilities or those where capacity has been increased in the current or year-earlier period; 3. Revenues generated in the current period by facilities created in the current or year-earlier period, and the change in revenues at recently acquired facilities by comparison with the previous equivalent period.

Yves Le Masne, ORPEA's Chief Executive Officer, said:

"ORPEA's powerful growth momentum continued into the second quarter, with another revenue increase of 10.6%. The key drivers were firm organic growth in every country (5.2%) and the contribution made by recent acquisitions, chiefly Sanyres in Spain and the Spitex homecare network in Switzerland.

Quarter after quarter, ORPEA has demonstrated its ability to generate strong revenue growth running at over 10% - despite increasingly high comparatives - thanks to its robust value-creating business model and international expansion drive.

Over the first half, revenues grew by 10.5% to €1,526m - higher in six months than the total full- year recorded in 2012. The healthy organic growth of 5.5% was supported by:

• consistent high occupancy rates in mature facilities across our network,

• the ramp-up in facilities opened over the past two years, mostly in large cities or in areas with a strong purchasing power,

• the smooth integration of groups acquired over the recent years,

• the opening of over 850 new beds in the first half of 2017 (new facilities or extensions) in France, Germany, Italy and Belgium.

Following the recent acquisitions of Anavita in the Czech Republic and Dr. Dr. Wagner in Austria, ORPEA is actively pursuing its policy of selective acquisitions and greenfield projects in the 10 countries where it already operates, which will soon be joined by new regions.

On the back of this robust first-half performance, ORPEA is very confident in meeting the full-year revenue target of over €3,125m (a 10% increase on the 2016 figure)."
