ORPEA: Strong H1 2016 Revenue Growth of 23.0% to €1,380.8 Million

Regulatory News:

The ORPEA group (Paris:ORP), one of the leading European providers of long and medium-term care (nursing homes, post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals and psychiatric hospitals), today announced its revenues for the first half of 2016 (six months ended 30 June).

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 October 2015, and Medi-System in Poland and Vitalis in Germany since 1 January 2016.

Spanish group Sanyres will be consolidated from 1 July 2016. Revenues in China were not material since the Nanjing facility only opened during the second quarter.

Yves Le Masne, ORPEA’s Chief Executive Officer, said: « We recorded another impressive revenue increase in the second quarter of 20% on the back of international acquisitions and faster organic growth of 6.6%.

Over the first half of the year, our revenue grew by 23.0% to €1,380.8 million. Of this total, 40% was generated outside France, resulting from our rapid expansion abroad in the last 12 months.

Our first-half organic growth of 5.7% was very brisk in all the countries where we operate as a result of:

• the firm momentum of our mature facilities, with high occupancy rates
• the rapid ramp-up in the facilities we opened in 2015 in regions with a high purchasing power
• the opening of more than 2,000 beds in the first half at 20 or so facilities in France, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Germany and the Czech Republic

Our first-half performance is testimony to ORPEA’s exceptional visibility and our ability to generate rapid, consistently profitable growth irrespective of the geopolitical, economic and financial environment, especially in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.

On the strength of the acquisition of Sanyres in Spain, which will be consolidated from the second half onwards (around €28 million), and more rapid organic growth than we had anticipated, we are lifting our 2016 revenue target by €90 million to €2,810 million (growth of 17.5% vs. 13.7% previously). »
