ORPEA: Strong Q3 2017 Revenue Growth Of +10% To €797 Million

Regulatory News:

The ORPEA group (Paris:ORP), one of the main world leader in long-term care (nursing homes, post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and homecare services), today announces its revenue for the third quarter of 2017 to 30^th September.

9 months revenues up by 10.3%

Spitex in Switzerland has been consolidated since 1^st January 2017, Anavita in the Czech Republic since 1^st April 2017, and Dr. Dr. Wagner in Austria since 1^st July 2017.

Yves Le Masne, Chief Executive Officer of ORPEA, commented:

"Our growth momentum continued throughout the third quarter, as we recorded a revenue growth of +10%. The key drivers were a dynamic organic growth in all territories (+4.9%) and the contribution from our recent acquisitions, chiefly Dr. Dr. Wagner in Austria and the Spitex homecare network in Switzerland.

Our quarterly performance illustrates the expansion of the international strategy initiated several years ago, with an accelerating of revenue growth across the international markets to reach over 20% as a result of both organic growth and acquisitions. International markets now contribute to 45% of our revenue, up from less than 30% just three years ago.

Over the first nine months, our revenue grew by +10.3% to €2,323 million, with over half attributable to organic growth (+5.3%) driven by:

• consistently high occupancy rates in mature facilities across the network
• the ramp-up in the opening of facilities internationally over the past two years
• the opening of over 1,400 beds over the first nine months (new facilities and extensions).

We continued to pursue our strategy of selective external growth, with the acquisition of Inoges in Germany. Its expertise in outpatient rehabilitation, an innovative sector with a strong growth as a result of support from public authorities and patient demand, perfectly fits with the Celenus Kliniken network of post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals. We also continued to initiate a number of projects to build new international facilities, especially our new territories, to further raise our profile and increase our growth potential.

We are confidently restating our full-year revenue target of over €3,125 million (a 10% increase compared to 2016), together with margin improvement.”

Acquisition of Inoges, the German leader in outpatient rehabilitation

Celenus Kliniken, the ORPEA subsidiary managing rehabilitation facilities in Germany, has acquired a majority shareholding in Inoges. Founded in 2003 by its current manager, Inoges is the German leader in outpatient rehabilitation (equivalent to day hospitals). Inoges has 30 locations (including 2 inpatient rehabilitation facilities) in urban areas close to hospitals, primarily in North Rhine-Westphalia Hesse and Bavaria.

In approximately 15 years, Inoges has developed an innovative offering recognized for its quality through the Salvea brand, which has a solid reputation.

Outpatient rehabilitation has expanded at a very strong pace in Germany (growth of 13% p.a. over the past 10 years), supported by both public authorities and private insurers, meeting increasingly strong demand from patients.

Inoges recorded a 2016 revenue of €50 million. The transaction is still subject to clearance from the competition authorities.

For Celenus Kliniken, this acquisition represents a unique strategic opportunity to build on its existing inpatient rehabilitation offering and to generate synergies between the two businesses, with new development opportunities in Germany.
