The ORPEA Group, a world leader in long-term care (nursing homes, assisted living, post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals, mental health hospitals, home care services), today announces its revenue for the third quarter of 2021 to 30 September and increases its 2021 revenue guidance.
"ORPEA has recorded very strong third-quarter growth, with revenue increasing by 10.8% and solid and better-than-expected organic growth of 5.7%. This performance is the result of excellent momentum in all geographical regions in terms of occupancy rates in nursing homes, rehabilitation hospitals and mental health hospitals.
As well as the general increase in occupancy rates, this performance is also the result of ORPEA's operating model:
On the back of these achievements, ORPEA is in a position to raise its 2021 annual revenue guidance: growth is now expected to exceed 9% with revenue of over €4,275 million. This substantial increase of 3 percentage points compared with the initial target announced in March 2021 is primarily a result of the ramping up of the Group's organic growth throughout the year."

Continuing the previous quarter's trend, Q3 2021 revenue was up strongly, increasing by 10.8% compared with Q3 2020 to €1,110.4 million. The revenue does not include any State-paid compensation. Quarter-on-quarter, revenue increased by almost €70 million, +6.6% compared with the second quarter of 2021. This third quarter's strong momentum is a result of a combination of the Group's two key factors of success:
As anticipated, activity is returning to normal. All geographical regions and activities are seeing strong growth, notably organic, as in the Iberian Peninsula and Latam region, which recorded organic growth of 5.8% after five quarterly decreases due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the third quarter, the number of new beds opened as a result of construction projects accelerated with 1,060 new beds opened, versus an average of just over 600 during the two previous quarters. The Group notably opened a 94-bed nursing home in the Swiss canton of Bern, the first rehabilitation clinic in the centre of Warsaw including 168 beds and the latest technological innovations in physiotherapy, notably in orthopaedics and neurology, as well as two facilities in Bilbao and Girona, Spain.
1 Organic growth of Group revenue reflects the following factors: 1. The year-on-year change in the revenue of existing facilities as a result of changes in their occupancy rates and per diem rates; 2. The year-on-year change in the revenue of redeveloped facilities or those where capacity has been increased in the current or year-earlier period; 3. Revenue generated in the current period by facilities created during the year or year-earlier period, and the change in revenue of recently acquired facilities by comparison with the previous equivalent period.
Over the first 9 months of the year, revenue was up 9.4% at €3,179.4 million, with almost 60% of this momentum resulting from organic growth (+5.4%).

This growth in activity over the first 9 months of 2021 was the result of a number of factors:
Within the framework of its CSR policy, ORPEA is a partner of the first Sommet de l'Inclusion Economique (social inclusion summit) organised by the Mozaïk Foundation at the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and the Recovery, under the distinguished patronage of Minister of the Economy, Finance and the Recovery Bruno Le Maire and in the presence of numerous other Ministers and more than 50 companies and institutions already mobilised.
Diversity, Integration and Inclusion are issues that the Group promotes on a daily basis, in its hiring policy but also its HR development policy, and that ORPEA strives to make a reality in every region in which it operates by being an inclusive and responsible economic player. Indeed, ORPEA is committed to:
In view of these excellent third-quarter performances and the continuing strong momentum seen in October 2021, the Group is raising its 2021 revenue growth target to at least +9.0%, versus +7.5% previously. ORPEA is now expecting 2021 annual revenue to exceed €4,275 million. This increase primarily reflects the stronger-than-expected rise in organic growth. ORPEA is also reaffirming its target of an improvement in the EBITDAR margin in the second half of 2021.
