Letter to the Shareholders

In the first half-year 2019, AEVIS VICTORIA (AEVIS) made substantial progress in the implementation of its strategy to sharpen its profile as an investment company. The transformation process encompassed the placement of an additional 61% stake and subsequent deconsolidation of the healthcare infrastructure company Infracore. The transaction has fundamentally transformed AEVIS' balance sheet structure, as financial leverage was drastically reduced by more than 65% from CHF 1'048.5 million to CHF 363.2 million, while equity increased to CHF 596.4 million, corresponding to a very strong equity ratio of 48.3%. The hospitals of Swiss Medical Network achieved substantial growth of 10.5% and the hotels of Victoria-Jungfrau Collection performed well in a dynamic market environment. AEVIS' total revenues surged by 71.0% to CHF 545.6 million, including the gain on the sale of the Infracore stake of CHF 193.8 million. The EBITDA margin reached 45.9% and the net profit in the reporting period amounted to CHF 202.1 million.
AEVIS has reduced its stake in Infracore, its subsidiary specialising in healthcare infrastructure, from 100% to 19% in two steps. In December 2018, Baloise acquired a 20% stake in Infracore; in May 2019, Baloise acquired a further 15% and Medical Properties Trust 46%. Infracore envisages a pay-out ratio of 80% to 90% of net income (excluding results from revaluation), which should allow AEVIS to benefit from annual dividend payments in excess of CHF 5 million. The transaction did generate substantial cash inflows for AEVIS and led to the envisaged deconsolidation of Infracore per 31 May 2019. This resulted in a significant gain on the sale of the participation of CHF 193.8 million and a much asset-lighter balance sheet, which decreased from CHF 1'854.9 million to CHF 1'234.9 million, while the Group's leverage diminished significantly by more than 65% from CHF 1'048.5 million to CHF 363.2 million. At the same time, the Group's equity increased strongly from CHF 445.0 million to CHF 596.4 million, corresponding to a high equity ratio of 48.3%.
A solid equity base combined with cash reserves and available credit lines of more than CHF 260 million give the Group considerable flexibility and scope to further strengthen its portfolio through carefully chosen participations, acquisitions or partnerships. In line with its growth strategy based on targeted mergers and acquisitions, AEVIS is currently reviewing several opportunities in each of its focus sectors, i.e. healthcare, hospitality and lifestyle as well as infrastructure. As an active reference shareholder and investment company led by entrepreneurs, AEVIS aims to leverage its accumulated investment experience, in-depth industrial expertise and strong network in the investment sectors to achieve operational excellence and long-term value creation for its holdings and shareholders alike.
Swiss Medical Network continued its growth strategy with the integration of 40% of Rosenklinik in Rapperswil in early 2019, the acquisition of the surgical hospital on the Siloah Campus in Gümligen and two health centres in Zurich and Solothurn in the second half-year of 2018. In addition, Klinik Belair in Schaffhausen was acquired from the Hirslanden Group and will be integrated as of 1 October 2019. The takeover ensures the continued existence of the hospital, with its strong local and regional roots, and secures valuable jobs. With these latest integrations, the network now operates 18 hospitals in 13 different cantons.
Additional attractive potential acquisitions are being analysed in both the German and French-speaking parts of the country. Within the Group, the contracted hospitals achieved an excellent performance, favoured by a markedly higher number of affiliated physicians. The development in the listed hospitals was less dynamic, due to the shift towards outpatient treatments. Swiss Medical Network is well prepared for this trend and new or renovated facilities have already been put into operation in several hospitals. The cost-cutting and efficiency program was successfully continued across the entities.
In total, Swiss Medical Network achieved revenues of CHF 313.0 million, up by 10.5% compared to the previous year, and net revenues (excluding medical fees) of CHF 268.9 million. Organic growth amounted to 6.8% despite lower TARMED tariffs introduced a year ago. EBITDAR increased from CHF 42.2 million to CHF 51.1 million, corresponding to an EBITDAR margin of 19.0%. Activity levels are expected to remain significantly above 2018 and therefore Swiss Medical Network expects to achieve a new record turnover in the business year 2019. The newly acquired hospitals and medical centres will continue their integration process in order to bring them to the same operational performance as the established hospitals of the network.
In a challenging market environment highlighted by a moderate development in the first quarter and good momentum in the second quarter, the Victoria-Jungfrau Collection hotels performed well and achieved net revenues of CHF 29.2 million, up by 3.5% compared to the previous year. Overall, overnight stays reached 54'809. The Average Room Rate continued to surge and reached CHF 383, up from CHF 364, leading to an improved gross operating profit. EBITDAR increased to CHF 4.0 million, corresponding to an EBITDAR margin of 13.7%, unchanged from the previous year. Results in the second semester are expected to be positively impacted by seasonality effects and good performance during the summer months. Finally, the re-opening of the Eden au Lac in December 2019, slightly behind schedule due to construction delays, will bring back the total operating hotels to four and further improve revenues and margins. Investments will continue in the second half-year, especially in Interlaken, and by the first trimester of 2020 all rooms at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa will have been renovated and equipped with air-conditioning. Further acquisitions are currently pending in the hospitality segment.
The healthcare properties of Générale-Beaulieu Immobilière SA in Geneva and the hotel properties of Swiss Hospitality Properties SA are not part of Infracore and were not affected by the deconsolidation of this entity. The consolidated real estate portfolio consists of 13 properties in prime locations in Geneva, Interlaken and Zurich with a market value of CHF 393.1 million as at 31 December 2018. Rental income in the reporting period amounted to CHF 26.3 million (including Infracore until 26 May 2019), and the EBITDAR reached CHF 23.6 million, corresponding to a margin of 89.8%. All properties are fully let. Important investments to improve the offering are bearing fruit, including the opening of a day hospital at Clinique Générale-Beaulieu in Geneva in the first quarter. AEVIS plans to further develop its hospitality real estate platform in the future.
Infracore owns a portfolio of hospital buildings and other healthcare-related properties, including 35 high-quality properties on 15 sites, representing a rental surface of 157'499 sqm. The portfolio, with a total market value of CHF 891.4 million as at 31 December 2018, consists of investment properties in all regions of Switzerland, investment properties under construction and development projects at several sites. With its new and broadened shareholder base, Infracore will continue to pursue its strategy of growth and consolidation in healthcare infrastructures in Switzerland, in both the private and public sectors. The Swiss market offers enormous potential for an experienced specialist such as Infracore, as significant investments will be needed in the Swiss healthcare infrastructure in the coming years.
After the reporting period, one divestment was successfully executed: AEVIS sold its 15.5% holding in iKentoo SA to Lightspeed POS Inc., one of the world's leading POS and e-commerce software providers listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. With this disposal, AEVIS realised a gain on the sale of its participation of CHF 1.3 million, representing a return on investment of approximately 30%.
Total revenues jumped from CHF 319.1 million in the first half of 2018 to CHF 545.6 million as at 30 June 2019, including the gain on the Infracore transaction of CHF 193.8 million. As a result, EBITDAR amounted to CHF 241.7 million, corresponding to an EBITDAR margin of 48.2% (first half 2018: CHF 38.8 million, 13.8%). The net profit jumped to CHF 202.1 million, compared to a net loss of CHF 1.6 million in the previous year.
In June 2019, AEVIS repaid its CHF 145 million bond at 2.75% that arrived at maturity. The average coupon of the outstanding bonds is thus reduced to 2.25%. The company will also carefully monitor the debt markets, in order to benefit from extra-low interest rates.
AEVIS will favour investments as a reference shareholder in companies active in its focus sectors. As an active investor, AEVIS exerts significant influence on the strategies of the companies it holds shares in, leaving them with full responsibility for operational management. AEVIS will continue to partner with other market participants to further develop and grow the activities of its participations as was done with Infracore.
AEVIS wants to offer its shareholders a combination of capital gains generated by value creation in its subsidiaries and a stable annual return. It is foreseen that the ordinary distribution (CHF 0.22 per share in 2018) will be substantially increased for the 2019 business year.

Half-Year Report 2019
AEVIS VICTORIA SA (hereafter "The Company") has its registered offices at 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. The Company's purpose consists of holding interests in financial, commercial and industrial enterprises in Switzerland and abroad, in areas such as medical treatment, healthcare and hotels.
These consolidated financial statements cover the unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2019. They have been prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 31 "Supplementary recommendation for listed companies". They comply with the Swiss law and with the listing rules of the SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Swiss GAAP FER apply to all companies included in the scope of consolidation. As the consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information contained in the consolidated annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 10 September 2019.
The consolidated interim financial statements are those of the Company and all subsidiaries in which the company holds either directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting rights (together "The Group"). These entities are fully consolidated. Joint ventures in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest of 50% or for which the Company exercises joint control are included in the consolidated financial statements by applying the proportional consolidation method. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but no control (between 20% and 50% of voting rights). Associates are included in the consolidated financial statements by applying the equity method.
The assets and liabilities of fully consolidated and associated companies included in the consolidation for the first time are valued at current values which do include a purchase price allocation. The goodwill arising from this revaluation is offset against equity.
The group has carried out the following restatement in the 2018 Annual Report.
During the acquisition of a company by one of the Company's subsidiaries in 2013 and the subsequent merger by absorption between these two group entities in 2014, some temporary differences were misinterpreted. The Group has therefore adjusted the deferred tax liabilities against offset goodwill. This change has no significant impact on the 2018 interim income statement as shown in the table below.

GENERALE BEAULIEU HOLDING SA and TMIP Holdings Pty Ltd are holding companies with several subsidiaries. All group companies are listed in note 11.
As a result of higher activity levels in the Hospitality segment during the second half year, the Hospitality segment could generate higher revenues and margins then in the first half year. This seasonality effect has an impact on the revenues and operating results of the Group. For the other segments, the seasonality effect is more equally spread over the entire year.
Half-Year Report 2019
The Group consists of the reported segments in the tables below. The decision makers measure the performance of the segments using the key figure EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation). The financial information for each segment is thus shown up to EBITDA.

The gain on sale of financial assets and marketable securities in 2018 resulted from the divestment of the stake held in BioTelemetry Inc.
The positive effect in 2018 results from the changes in income tax rates in connection with the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing (TRAF) accepted by public referendum on 19 May 2019. The Group has adjusted the applicable tax rates for the calculation of the deferred tax liabilities on assets and liabilities in those cantons where the legislative process has been completed and an enactment date of the new law defined.
