  • Changing the listing status on the Moscow Exchange.

The respective documents have been submitted to the regulator for review with its approval expected within the prescribed legal timeframe.

Mark Kurtser, CEO at MDMG, said:

"In Q3 2023, MD Medical Group continued to demonstrate strong growth in operational and financial performance, maintaining its position as a leader in the private healthcare sector.

Our core segments - deliveries and IVFs - have significantly improved their results, with combined revenue up 21% in Q3 despite the overall downward trend in Russia's birth rate. This impressive performance further solidifies our undisputed leadership in these segments fuelled by the unwavering trust patients place in our brand, the expertise of our team, and the service quality and comfort we provide.

We have also posted solid operating results in traumatology, cardiology, dentistry, neurology and plastic surgery thanks to our strongly diversified range of healthcare services and their superior quality.

Following our growth strategy in Moscow and other regions with a strong economic potential, we finalised the acquisition of four clinics in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area-Yugra this September and are set to inaugurate a recently acquired hospital in Michurinsky Avenue and a clinic in ZILART residential complex in Moscow before the end of this year.

Thanks to our sound financial status with a net cash balance of RUB 6.7 billion, we are well-positioned to continue our organic and non-organic growth and resume dividend payouts once the redomiciliation process is complete."

Hospitals in regions

In Q3 2023, regional hospitals' revenue grew across all service segments, up 14.6% y-o-y to RUB 1,902 million. This growth was mainly driven by a surge in deliveries (up 21.5% y-o-y to 1,501) and a higher average ticket for in-patient treatments (up 29% y-o-y to RUB 41.4 thousand).

A considerable increase in the number of deliveries came on the back of strong results of the MD Group Lakhta hospital in St Petersburg, which achieved a high utilisation rate in the reporting period, as well as Tyumen-1 and Samara-based IDK hospital gradually progressing towards design capacity.

The 9.7% y-o-y increase in the average ticket for deliveries in regional hospitals was mainly driven by indexed prices, along with contribution of the MD Group Lakhta hospital, which boasted a higher average ticket than other regions and is advancing towards design capacity.

Revenue growth was also strongly supported by an increase in the average ticket for in-patient treatments, which helped offset a decrease in the number of in-patient treatments (down 14.4% y-o-y), with revenue rising by 10.5% y-o-y in this segment. In the reporting period, the Group's regional hospitals focused on providing comprehensive commercial services in segments such as surgery, oncology, cardiology and traumatology.

In Q3 2023, the Group's regional hospitals saw a 5% y-o-y increase in total IVF cycles (due to an increase in commercial cycles) and an 11.5% y-o-y increase in the average ticket (due to the use of new treatment standards (EmbryoScope). Thus, revenue growth in this segment amounted to 17.1% y-o-y.

Out-patient clinics in regions

In Q3 2023, revenue from regional out-patient clinics went up by 21.9% y-o-y to RUB 931 million. This growth was mainly driven by a higher number of IVF cycles (up 13.3 y-o-y) and an improved average ticket (up 14.6 y-o-y) on the back of an increased number of IVF services provided using new treatment standards (EmbryoScope).

Furthermore, the revenue growth was supported by a 14.4% increase in the number of out-patient treatments along with a marginal growth in average ticket size, primarily in cities such as Yaroslavl, Tula, Ryazan and Yekaterinburg (the clinic in the latter was launched in November 2022).

Hospitals in Moscow

In Q3 2023, revenue from Moscow hospitals declined slightly by 4.1% y-o-y to RUB 3,237 million. This was caused by a drop in the number of COVID-19 cases and a decrease in oncology cases treated under the MHI programme at the Lapino Clinical Hospital, with the number of in-patent treatments dropping by 8% y- o-y.

Despite the overall negative trend in birth rates across Russia, revenue from deliveries and IVF cycles increased by 13.7% and 23% y-o-y to RUB 636 million and RUB 235 million, respectively, which serves as a testament to the trust that patients have in the MD Medical Group brand. Both the number of deliveries and IVF cycles as well as their average ticket showed notable growth.

Revenue from out-patient treatments rose by 15% y-o-y to RUB 803 million, with the respective average ticket up 7.2% y-o-y, primarily on the back of treatments in gynaecology and pediatrics.

Out-patient clinics in Moscow and Moscow Region

In Q3 2023, revenue from clinics in Moscow and the Moscow Region rose by 11.4% y-o-y to RUB 715 million thanks to improved performance across all service segments.

Revenue from IVF services went up by 15% y-o-y to RUB 306 million on the back of an 18.8% increase in the number of IVF cycles, despite a marginal 3.2% drop in the average ticket size. The latter was due to a higher share of IVFs performed under the MHI programme in Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022.

Net cash position

As at 30 September 2023, the Group's debt represented entirely by lease liabilities increased from the 30 June 2023 level by RUB 215 million to RUB 859 million, while its cash balance grew by RUB 859 million to RUB 7,509 million. As a result, as at 30 September 2023, the Company's net cash position amounted to RUB 6,652 million.

Capex

Total Capex declined by RUB 657 million y-o-y to RUB 1,144 million in Q3 2023. The hospital segment accounts for the bulk of Capex (92.06%), while the construction of new clinics and ongoing maintenance make up 7.94% of total Capex. Investments were mainly allocated towards the newly acquired hospital in Moscow's Michurinsky Avenue, with its share in Q3 2023 Capex amounting to RUB 847 million.
