Regulatory News:

The ORPEA group (Paris:ORP), a leading European player in Long-Term Care (nursing homes), Post-Acute Care and Psychiatric Care, today announced its revenues for the first quarter to 31^st March 2016.

SeneCura in Austria has been consolidated since 1 April 2015, Celenus Kliniken in Germany, since 1 July 2015, Residenz Gruppe Bremen in Germany since 1 September 2015, and Medi-System in Poland and Vitalis in Germany since 1 January 2016.

Commenting on these figures, Yves Le Masne, ORPEA’s Chief Executive Officer, said:

"In the first quarter of 2016, the pace of our growth accelerated again, with revenues increasing by 26.5% to €680.5 million. This solid performance again highlights the sector’s strong resilience to the economic, financial and geopolitical environment, as well as the intrinsic qualities of our business model, which enabled us to deliver a robust set of results.

Our organic growth held up at a particularly brisk pace of 4.7%, without taking into account the additional day in 2016 as it is a leap year. Including this extra day, organic growth ran at 5.9%. This excellent performance was driven by:

• the firm momentum of mature facilities in every country, with high occupancy rates thanks to ORPEA strong commercial appeal;
• the continuing ramp-up in the facilities opened in 2015;
• the more than 1,100 beds opened in the first quarter of 2016 at 11 high-quality facilities, in high-end locations such as Paris, Knokke Le Zoute, Antwerp, Prague and Basel.

In line with previous quarters, international expansion provided the driving force for our growth. International revenues rose by 82%, including the contribution made by acquisitions in Germany (Celenus Kliniken, Residenz Gruppe Bremen, Vitalis) and Poland (Medi-System). In just two years, our business outside France has grown fourfold and now contributes 40% of our revenues.

Our solid organic and acquisition-led growth momentum is set to continue over the next few quarters. As a result, we can comfortably reiterate our 2016 revenue target of €2,720 million (+13.7%), not including any additional developments.”
