Clusters' composition:
1 Organic growth of Group revenue includes: 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.

Revenue for 2019 reached €3,740 million, higher than the initially-announced target of €3,700 million and representing a strong growth of +9.4% or €320 million in additional revenue.
This improvement, as in previous years, was the result of an equal combination of the Group's two growth drivers:
This revenue growth will be coupled with solid profitability.
In 2020, ORPEA will open 3,000 beds, i.e., approximately thirty new facilities and extensions of existing facilities. This step-up in openings (+62% vs 2019) is driven by the Group's internationalisation, which allows it to increase creation opportunities. In line with the strategy of ORPEA, 85% of these new facilities will be located outside France, in around ten countries, in areas with high purchasing power.
An active recruitment policy will continue to support this growth. More than 2,500 jobs will be created across all countries in which ORPEA is present and in all professions (medical staff, carers, hotel staff, as well as support functions at the various head offices).
Training and internal promotion remain a priority in human resources policy and provide Group employees with excellent career prospects.
The contribution of the announced acquisitions, coupled with a strong organic growth, allows ORPEA to be confident in announcing already secured revenue of €4,040 million for 2020 (+8% vs 2019). The Group will continue to develop its growth pipeline and consider acquisition-led growth opportunities both in countries where it is already present and in new countries, with a view to pursuing its growth momentum.
"In only three years, the Group's revenue has grown by close to €1 billion, of which more than 50% is through organic growth. This performance is due to the Group's long-term strategy which is focused on upscaling its network as well as selective internal and external growth opportunities.
Thanks to already completed external developments and excellent visibility on its organic growth, ORPEA is already in a position to announce secured growth of +8% for 2020, i.e., revenue of €4,040 million. Of course, the Group will pursue its development to reinforce its current position as a global player, by continuing to expand its geographic presence, but also by strengthening its corporate social responsibility."
