Dear Shareholder,

AEVIS VICTORIA SA (AEVIS) continued to expand its activities in the first half-year 2016. The real estate portfolio was slightly enlarged and the build-up of a fourth pillar of business in the field of telemedicine was successfully started with the acquisition of a participation in both Medgate Group and listed LifeWatch AG. The hospitals of Swiss Medical Network made further progress, highlighted by turnover growth and better utilization of infrastructure resulting in substantially improved margins. Total revenues grew by 1.2% to CHF 293.5 million (HY 2015: CHF 289.9 million) and net revenues (medical fees excluded) increased to CHF 256.1 million (HY 2015: CHF 254.9 million) in the first six months of 2016. At constant perimeter (without Palace Lucerne in 2015) revenue growth reached 3.6%. Consolidated EBITDA surged by 27.9% to CHF 42.2 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 16.5%, up from CHF 12.9% a year ago. The normalised EBITDA, mainly factoring out seasonality effects in the hospitality segment, reached CHF 46.9 million, corresponding to a normalised EBITDA margin of 18.1%. As a result, the profit for the period increased from CHF 0.07 million in 2015 to CHF 4.2 million in the reporting period.

Successful bond issuance

AEVIS VICTORIA was once again active on the capital markets. It successfully issued a new 5-year CHF 150 million straight bond with a coupon of 2.5%. The net proceeds of the bond were partially used to refinance the CHF 80 million, 4.25% bond AEV12 that matured on 3 August 2016.

Inclusion in Swiss Performance Index

As the free-float soared above the 20% threshold following the full integration of Victoria-Jungfrau Collection, the nominal shares of AEVIS VICTORIA were included in the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) in late July 2016. They are also part of the indices SXI Life Sciences Index (SLIFE) and SXI Bio+Medtech Index (SBIOM) since 19 September 2016.

Hospitals of Swiss Medical Network achieve turnover and profitability growth

Swiss Medical Network reached a turnover of CHF 222.2 million, up from CHF 213.7 in the previous year. This solid result was mainly based on an overall increase of the number of patients treated in the network's hospitals while lower DRG and TARMED rates for the domestic activity remained a challenge. Medical tourism recovered and the turnover with foreign patients surged by around 10%, partially offsetting last year's decline. In addition, the exploitation of synergies and efficiency gains also contributed to the improved EBITDAR of CHF 50.3 million, corresponding to an EBITDAR margin of 22.6%, in comparison to an EBITDAR of CHF 40.6 million and an EBITDAR margin of 19.0% a year ago.

Swiss Medical Network has an outstanding track record in acquiring and restructuring private hospitals. This buy-and-build strategy paid off in the first half-year 2016. 14 out of 15 hospitals achieved a positive EBITDAR, as all of them are now in the optimisation phase of the business cycle. Privatklinik Lindberg is the only entity of the network that remains in the repositioning phase. The inflow of admitting physicians continued. This is a confirmation of the underlying attractiveness of the network and its hospitals. In early March, Swiss Medical Network introduced a common flat rate payment system for all its listed hospitals, with tariffs that are, on average, 5% lower than those of public hospitals. In early July, a new tariff agreement was signed with insurer KPT lasting for the next 5 years that also includes an equitable compromise for services provided back in 2015. Both these measures will help to dampen rising healthcare costs in Switzerland.

After the reporting period, on 14 September 2016, Swiss Medical Network submitted a takeover offer to all shareholders of GENERALE BEAULIEU Holding SA allowing Clinique Générale-Beaulieu in Geneva to join Swiss Medical Network. Clinique Générale-Beaulieu is a multi-disciplinary private hospital that accounts for around 5′700 hospitalisations per year, and it has approximately 400 employees and 600 admitting physicians.

Hotels of Victoria-Jungfrau Collection reach EBITDAR margin of more than 11%

Seasonality effects had the usual impact on the performance of the city hotels. Furthermore, tourism in Switzerland was also affected by the terrorist attacks in Europe as travellers became more cautious. With its solid and diversified guest portfolio, Victoria-Jungfrau Collection was able to absorb these influences and nearly match the results from the previous year in the consolidated hotels. Total turnover declined to CHF 26.7 million (HY 2015: CHF 32.6 million) but this decrease is mainly attributed to the deconsolidation of the Palace Hotel in Lucerne (turnover of CHF 6.5 million in HY 2015) due to the new management contract structure in place since 1 January 2016. The number of overnight stays reached 34′145 (HY 2015: 45′265), while occupancy rate reached 46.6% (HY 2015: 47.0%) also in light of the deconsolidation of Palace Lucerne. The average room rate was nearly unchanged and reached CHF 340 (HY 2015: CHF 344). Lower personnel expenses and efficiency gains contributed to an improved EBITDAR of CHF 3.0 million, representing an EBITDAR margin of 11.2%.

Clients at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken, the flagship house of the group, are served even better since the successful reopening of the renovated "La Terrasse" restaurant in spring, the opening of the new outlet "The Garden" during summer months and the planned launch of a new spa concept in autumn 2016. Nevertheless, the management team has further intensified its national and international sales activities in order to respond to the challenging market environment. At the same time, it continues with its diversification strategy to avoid a cluster risk from certain markets. Additional synergies in IT, marketing, procurement and human resources were identified.

Healthcare- and hotel-related real estate perform well

In the real estate segment, net revenue amounted to CHF 25.6 million (HY 2015: CHF 18.6 million), to which Swiss Healthcare Properties contributed CHF 21.8 million and Swiss Hospitality Properties, the hospitality-related real estate, CHF 3.8 million. EBITDAR increased to CHF 23.8 million compared to CHF 16.8 million in the previous year. The market value of the 33 properties of Swiss Healthcare Properties reached CHF 775.8 million and the value of the hospitality properties amounted to CHF 164.0 million. All properties were fully let at the end of the reporting period.

Swiss Healthcare Properties finalized one acquisition in the reporting period and bought an office building in Echandens in January 2016. The property offers rental space of 1′768 sqm with 53 parking spaces and is mainly rented to Swiss Medical Network and Patrimonium Asset Management. Furthermore, investments are planned in various hospitals of Swiss Medical Network, including a new building for Privatklinik Villa im Park in Rothrist and an extensive refurbishment program at Clinique de Valère in Sion. The current portfolio has a further development potential of nearly 30′000 to 35′000 sqm rentable space. Considering the development of the hospital′s activities in the next years, that create a need for additional surfaces on various sites, actions are being taken in anticipation to meet this demand. These can include the increase of ground area ratios, the change of area plans or the acquisition of buildings near to current hospitals.

Telemedicine activities expanded

AEVIS VICTORIA is building up a fourth pillar of activities in the field of telemedicine. Two participations have been made so far. In January 2016 the acquisition of 40% of Medgate Group, the leading provider of telemedical services in Switzerland, was completed. Since July 2016, AEVIS holds a participation in listed LifeWatch AG, a leading developer and provider of medical solutions and remote diagnostic monitoring services in the digital health market. After the purchase of a 4.6% stake within the context of LifeWatch's rights offering, the shareholding was further increased to 10.6% in August 2016. AEVIS VICTORIA believes that telemedicine and eHealth solutions will shape the future of medicine and that investments in leading companies in that field usefully complement its portfolio of solutions for a better life.

NESCENS online distribution

AEVIS VICTORIA SA invests in various other activities along the value chain of its main pillars of activity. The rescue entity based in Geneva will be rebranded into Swiss Ambulance Rescue in late September 2016. NESCENS preventive medical check-up centres are now operative in Genolier, Lausanne, Lugano and soon in Zurich, while NESCENS better-aging medspa programs are available in Interlaken and Geneva. For the first time, the anti-aging cosmetics of NESCENS are also sold in a dedicated e-shop targeting international buyers. Les Hauts de Genolier has been rebranded into Nescens Clinique de Genolier.

Outlook

For the entire business year 2016, AEVIS VICTORIA SA expects to realise a turnover of approximately CHF 600 million, based on an unchanged portfolio consolidated over a 12-month period. AEVIS VICTORIA SA continues to target an EBITDA margin of more than 20% in the mid-term, based on optimised processes and higher utilisation of its infrastructure. This will imply a free cash flow margin of around 10%, on which a pay-out ratio of 30% would be applied.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General information

AEVIS VICTORIA SA (hereafter "The Company") has its registered offices at rue Georges-Jordil 4, 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.

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These consolidated financial statements cover the unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2016. They have been prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 31 "Supplementary recommendation for listed companies".

An Abstract of the consolidated financial statements was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 15 September 2016. The full consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 September 2016 and include the Company, its subsidiaries and its interests in associates (together "The Group").

Changes in revenue recognition

(Swiss GAAP FER Framework Concept – Swiss GAAP FER 3 – Swiss GAAP FER 6)

The first time adoption of the changes in Swiss GAAP FER related to the revenue recognition impacts the following areas of corporate accounting of the Group:

Revenue

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts, losses on accounts receivables and changes in allowances for doubtful accounts. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the services at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. Other revenue does include gain from disposal of assets and the profit resulting from the sale of subsidiaries.

The implementation of the revised revenue recognition resulted in a restatement of the financial statements of 2015. The following adjustments were made to the income statement for the first six months of 2015:

(In thousands of CHF) 2015
Profit for the period before adjustment 71
Effects from change in revenue recognition
Revenue from operations (2'174)
Other revenue 1'111
External services (2'445)
Production expenses 2'448
Other operating expenses 1'060
Profit for the period after adjustment 71

Other changes in the accounting policies

As from 2016, the Group recognises goodwill from investments in associates as a part of the investment, instead of offsetting the goodwill with equity. The prior year figures have been adjusted accordingly. The change has an impact of CHF 1.9 million on both the financial assets and the shareholders′ equity of the 2015 consolidated financial statements.

As from 2015, the Group uses the proportional consolidation method instead of the equity method to include joint venture companies in the scope of consolidation.

Except for the above mentioned changes, the Group has applied the same accounting policies as described in the 2015 Annual Report.

3. Changes in scope of consolidation

The following changes to the scope of consolidation took place in the first half of 2016:

ENTITY EVENT / DATE CAPITAL SHARE
30.06.2016
CAPITAL SHARE
31.12.2015
Medgate Holding AG Acquired on 22.01.2016 40.0%
Medgate Integrated Care AG Acquired on 22.01.2016 40.0%
Swiss Hospitality Properties AG Sold on 01.01.2016 100.0%

Medgate Holding AG and Medgate Integrated Care AG are holding companies with several subsidiaries. All group companies are listed in note 8.

4. Seasonality effect

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 than in the first half year. This seasonality effect has an impact on the revenues and operating result of the Group. For the other segments, the seasonality effect is more equally spread over the entire year.

7. Subsequent events

On 3 July 2016, Swiss Medical Network and KPT concluded a new tariff agreement and found an equitable compromise for services provided in 2015. The latter has a negative impact of CHF 1.2 million on the P&L.

On 20 September 2016, AEVIS VICTORIA has successfully issued a 6-year bond in the amount of CHF 130 million, maturing on 19 October 2022. The coupon was set at 2.00%. Listing will be applied in accordance with the standard for bonds of the SIX Swiss Exchange.
