Group results

Group results

Main internal and external factors in the first half of 2023

Deconsolidation of Réseau de l'Arc SA (RdA)

  • Deconsolidation as of 31.12.2022, following the entry into the share capital by Visana Beteiligungen
  • That resulted in a decrease in net revenues and an increase in profitability

Hospital segment net revenues (CHFm)

Hospital segment EBITDAR margin

Swiss Medical Network Capital Increase Inflationary environment

  • Strategic expansion of the shareholder base with entry of Visana Beteiligungen in a CHF 150m capital increase
  • The capital increase strengthens the consolidated balance sheet
  • It also confirms the significative value creation achieved

11.1%

• The Group has identified increased inflationary pressure through several cost channels and has taken targeted measures to mitigate the impact:

Personnel - tight labor markets

Production - higher material and infrastructure costs

Energy - ongoing energy crisis

Interests - central banks fighting inflation

As expected,
decline of total revenues after the deconsolidation
of
Réseau de L'Arc and the absence of capital gains in the reporting period
However, the purely operating result improved, as the dilutive effect of
Réseau de l'Arc was eliminated
Organic revenue growth of 4.7% highlights a strong operating result
Good performance with EBITDAR margin of 16.9%
Factoring out results from M&A activities in HY 2022, this represents an
10.5% margin increase
The lower revenues in combination with noticeable inflation effects on various
cost items led to lower margins compared to the previous year
The second semester started promisingly and AEVIS expects a good year
overall in 2023
