Organic gross revenue growth on a like-for-like basis amounted to 0.3%. Due to the sale of subsidiaries, total gross revenue decreased slightly by - 0.4% from to CHF 771.6m in 2022 to CHF 768.7m in 2023

Inflationary pressures and extraordinary expenses connected to the build up of Réseau de l'Arc (organizational set-up, acquisitions, launch) and important construction projects in Genolier and Zurich compress EBITDAR margin

Structural pressures on profitability

  • Inflationary pressure on operating expenses (material, energy, rent), rising personnel expenses due to tight labor markets
  • Hospital tariffs are fixed for various years and are not linked to inflation
  • Pressure on profitability due to disparity between rising costs and stagnant revenue
  • Significant interest rate increases further strain net profits

Countermeasures

Swiss Medical Network has taken various cost optimization measures to return to the 2022 margins

Revenue

Upward renegotiation of base rates with insurers enables the group to pass on part of the price increases

Production / Equipment

Renegotiations with suppliers

Optimization of single-use materials and available options for medicines and prostheses

Personnel

Reduction of temporary staff Personnel allocation optimization Reduction of 50 FTE

Processes

Reduction of average length of stay (ALOS)

Pilot: Within 18 months, a pilot project reduced ALOS by 2 days for orthopedic surgery and increased margins by 20%

Active deleveraging lowering overall net debt and financing expenses

Excellent year-to-date 2024 result

Countermeasures show positive effects in Q1 2024
