COVID-19 Impact & measures

Assessment of the current situation in Switzerland

Flattening of the growth rate of new confirmed cases

• 10'714 confirmed cases as of 26 March

  • 91'400 tested since 24 February
  • − only 14% of all tested are infected
  • 161 dead as of 26 March
  • Median age of death 85 years
  • 1'002 new confirmed cases from previous day
  • − Downward trend and flattening of the growth rate
  • Beds for intensive care are available and can cover the inflow of patients
  • − Strong increase in available intensive care beds over the last week
  • Switzerland has surpassed Italy in the relative amount of infected, however, this is due to more testing

Despite highest global rate of infections the Swiss medical system remains intact

Current assessment of COVID-19 impact

Overall

  • AEVIS was well prepared for the ongoing COVID-19 crisis thanks to a high level of digitalization and a decentralized organization structure
  • The group was able to adapt quickly to the new situation and is ready to react to attractive opportunities coming up
  • The group is financially sound and has sufficient liquidity reserves. It will anyhow take all possible measures to weather the COVID-19 crisis
  • Safety for its patients, guests, doctors and employees has highest priority

Current assessment of COVID-19 impact - Healthcare

Swiss Medical Network

Medgate

  • Since mid-March, following the federal decree, healthcare facilities such as hospitals are instructed to postpone elective, non-urgent interventions in order to free up capacities in the Swiss healthcare infrastructure
  • Most hospitals of the group are working closely with the cantons to provide care during the crisis. Assets are being utilised which is very positive and shows the importance of the role of our facilities
  • We are convinced, that the cantons and the state will fully compensate the costs and the potential losses due to COVID-19 and the state decree
  • We expect postponed interventions catching up after the crisis and a very strong second half-year
  • Since the beginning of the crisis, Medgate has been an important partner for the Federal Office of Public Health. It is also part of various task forces e.g. helping to set up testing facilities
  • The team was able to quickly set up a highly performing hotline both for patients and healthcare professionals - increasing capacity (+100 staff, +IT, etc.) to handle double the volume of calls within 2 weeks
  • The COVID-19 crisis is showing the importance of telemedicine and Medgate is expected to further benefit from this trend in the future

Current assessment of COVID-19 impact - Hospitality

Victoria Jungfrau

Swiss Hotel Properties

  • Winter season sales until end of February were 15.8% above last year
  • The winter hotels in Zermatt, Davos and Crans Montana have closed the season two weeks ahead schedule and the financial impact is expected to be minimal
  • The hotels in Interlaken, Zurich and Berne are closed during the ongoing lock down. The strategy for the summer season is evaluated over the next few weeks
  • As Q2 is a slow quarter for all the group's hotels we hope for a pickup in summer for a reopening of Interlaken and a swift continuation of the ramp-up of La Réserve Eden au Lac in Zurich
  • The financial impact of the crisis is difficult to assess at this moment
  • Thanks to the high quality of the properties held by Swiss Hotel Properties we expect no material impact on asset values
  • There is no capex backlog and no capex will be done in 2020 without any impacts on productivity

Measures

  • All capex have been stopped
  • All available tools (short time work, etc.) and supports (state backed financings, etc.) from the state will be used if applicable
  • Strong focus on management of liquidity through the group to be able to seize any opportunity and maximize flexibility
  • No ordinary dividend for 2019

Vision of an integrated care platform for Switzerland

AEVIS intends to form an alliance of relevant actors creating an integrated health model

  • Focusing on maintaining good health (paradigm shift)
  • Developing accompanying measures (prevention and proactivity)
  • Aligning incentives and interest to avoid unnecessary treatments
  • Promoting digitalization through the system to improve efficiency of treatments

Holistic composition

To be functional, we believe that NewCo should comprise hospitals (inpatient care), medical centers and clinics (outpatient care and diagnostics), general practitioner groups and insurance infrastructure and a strong technology partner

AEVIS is committed to an efficient health system that puts the citizen at the centre Becoming a true integration platform will boost the values of Swiss Medical Network and Medgate (hospitals-health centers-telemedicine)

Establish an ecosystem of care providers.

Highlights 2019

Expansion of hotel activities

  • Significantly strengthened and increasingly diversified hotel segment with two strategic acquisitions
  • Seiler Hotels in Zermatt
  • Hotel InterContinental in Davos
  • Advancing to become the largest private provider of luxury hotels with seven hotels in Switzerland

Reopening of new flagship hotel

  • Attractive mix of a stylish hotel and strong focus on innovative gastronomy
  • − 40 elegant and modern rooms
  • − 2 restaurants: Eden Kitchen and Bar and La Muña
  • − Roof terraces offering food and drinks

Strong operational results

  • In line with the flourishing Swiss tourism sector, sales increased by 11.3% in the past year
  • All three hotels contributed to the positive result, with all of them reporting higher turnover
  • Gross profit rose almost in step with the increase in sales, driven by rising occupancy rates
  • Winter 2019/20 in the newly acquired hotels in Davos and Zermatt with excellent results

Portfolio grows to seven luxury establishments

Re-opening of La Réserve Eden au Lac

Convincing hotel performance of portfolio

Minor effects due to COVID-19 on Intercontinental Hotel Davos and Seiler Hotels Zermatt excepted

  • Assumption: due to COVID-19 the alpine hotels could remain closed during summer 2020
  • Main revenue generating months for both hotels are December, January and February due to winter holiday season
  • Regarding EBITDA the situation is even more pronounced as both hotels generate losses on an EBITDAR level from April to November
  • Keeping the hotels closed through summer (April – November) would hence have a positive effect on profitability
