STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your general shareholders' meetings and in accordance with the requirements of article L.451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code, we hereby report to you on:

• the limited review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of CEGEDIM, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2012, and

• the verification of the information contained in the interim management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements were drawn up under the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our limited review.

1. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our limited review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited review mainly consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

Without qualifying the above conclusion, we draw your attention to the note 3 to the financial statements which describes the conditions under which the impairment tests of goodwill were conducted in the sector 1 CRM and Strategic Data as of June 30, 2013.

2. Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the interim management report in respect of the condensed half-yearly financial statements subject to our limited review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the condensed halfyearly financial statements.

2 nd Quarter 2013

Quarterly Revenue

Revenue The Group revenue decreased by €14.7 million, or 6.2%, from €239.1 million for the second quarter 2012 to €224.4 million for the second quarter 2013. Excluding the positive impact of acquisitions/disposals of 0.6%, and impact of unfavorable foreign currency translations of 1.3%, revenue decreased by 5.4%.

Following acquisitions and disposals, the Group's scope of consolidation has changed as follows: in CRM and Strategic Data: divestment of the entity Pharmapost (France) on April 30, 2012; in Healthcare Professionals: consolidation of the entity ASP Line (France) on July 1, 2012. These changes in the scope of consolidation made a positive contribution of 0.6% to revenue growth for the second quarter 2013.

This decrease in revenue was primarily due to an decrease of 10.6% and 3.0% in revenue in the CRM and Strategic Data and Healthcare Professionals divisions, respectively, partially offset by a 7.4% increase in revenue in the division Insurance and Services (in each case, on a like-for-like basis).

The breakdown of revenue by currency has marginally changed since the same period last year: the Euro and the US dollar remained stable at 66% and 11% respectively, and the sterling climbed by 1 point to 10%, whereas, others currency fell by 1 point to 13%. Note that the breakdown of revenue by currency and by currency to establish accounts is very similar.

By geographic region, the relative contribution of France and EMEA (excluding France) climbed by 1 point to 57% and 27%, respectively, and Americas remained stable at 13%, whereas and APAC fell by 1 point to 4%.

By division, the breakdown of Group revenue remains relatively stable. The contribution of CRM and Strategic Data fell by 3 points to 49%. The contribution of Healthcare Professionals and Insurance and Services increased by 1 and 2 points, respectively, to respectively 33% and to 18%.

Following a satisfactory first quarter, in the second quarter – particularly in June – several orders were postponed that affected the CRM and strategic data and Healthcare professionals divisions at a time when market conditions remain challenging.

Quarterly Operational Charges

Purchases used increased by €1.0 million, or 3.4%, from €28.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €29.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, purchases used represented 11.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 13.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase in purchases used was primarily due to an increase in UK activity which entailed increased purchase of equipment.

External expenses increased by €0.7 million, or 1.2%, from €56.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €56.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, external expenses represented 23.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 25.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase in external expenses was primarily due to a reduction in overall operating costs as a result of the introduction of cost control measures under the Performance Improvement Plan in late 2011 and November 2012 and ongoing cost-containment efforts in 2013. This decrease is offset by an increase of Cegelease activity, which entailed increased leasing of software and equipment that is then leased to customers.

Payroll costs decreased by €2.3 million, or 2.1%, from €111.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €109.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, payroll costs represented 46.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 48.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in payroll costs was primarily due an overall reduction in the number of employees pursuant to the Performance Improvement Plan and ongoing cost-containment efforts in 2013, in particular,

EBITDA decreased by €16.7 million, or 31.7%, from €52.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €35.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, EBITDA represented 22.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 16.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in EBITDA reflected the evolution of revenue, purchases used, external expenses and payroll costs based on the factors set out above.

Special items

Historically, Special items have primarily related to capital gains or losses on disposals, restructuring costs, impairment of goodwill and other non recurring income and expenses. Special items amounted to a charges of €2.9 million, compare to a charges of €115.5 Breakdown by nature of special items

in the CRM and Strategic Data division partly offset by an increase in the number of employees in the Healthcare Professionals and Insurance and Services divisions. Following the introduction of the CICE ("Crédit d'impôt pour la compétivité et l'emploi" -Tax credit for competitiveness and employment) in France in 2013, the payroll cost in the P&L is reduced by this tax credit. For the second quarter of 2013, the impact on payroll cost is a reduction of €0.6 million, which correspond to the full year estimated amount proratized for the quarter.

EBIT before special items (Operating income before special items) decreased by €14.4 million from €37.6 million for the quarter ended June 31, 2012 to €23.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, EBIT represented 15.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 10.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was due to the decrease in EBITDA of €16.7 million, as set above, and a decrease in depreciation expenses by €2.3 million, or 15.1%, from €15.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €12.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

million one year earlier. The major parts of this cost are related to the restructuring costs with the Performance Improvement Plan and from ongoing costcontainment efforts in 2013.

EBIT amounts to a profit of €20.2 million, compared to a loss of €77.9 million on 2012 second-quarter. The €98.2 million increase was due to the decrease of EBIT before special items of €14.4 million and a decrease in special items of €112.6 million following the €115.0 million impairment of goodwill in June 2012.

Quarterly Financial charges

Total cost of net financial debt increased by €4.1 million from €10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase reflect the impact of the 2013 March refinancing with an increase of accrued interest of €1.9 million and an additional write-off of capitalized cost for €2.0 million.

First six months of 2013

Revenue The Group revenue decreased by €16.1 million, or 3.5%, from €453.3 million for the first half of 2012 to €437.2 million for the first half of 2013. Excluding the positive impact of acquisitions/disposals of 0.4%, and impact of unfavorable foreign currency translations of 1.1%, revenue decreased by 2.8%.

Following acquisitions and disposals, the Group's scope of consolidation has changed as follows: in CRM and Strategic Data: divestment of the entity Pharmapost (France) on April 30, 2012; in Healthcare Professionals: consolidation of the entity ASP Line (France) on July 1, 2012. These changes in the scope of consolidation made a positive contribution of 0.4% to revenue growth for the first half of 2013.

The breakdown of revenue by currency has marginally changed since the same period last year: the Euro and the sterling climbed by 1 point to 66% and 10%, respectively, whereas, the US dollar and others currency fell by 1 point to 11% and 13%, respectively. Note that the breakdown of revenue by currency and by currency to establish accounts is very similar.

By geographic region, the relative contribution of EMEA (excluding France) remained stable at 26%, and

charge of €3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This decrease reflects a decrease in income taxes by €4.2 million and in deferred taxes by €2.1 million.

Quarterly net profit (loss)

Consolidated net profit amounted to a gain of €2.5 million compared to a loss of €93.6 million for the same period last year. This increase in consolidated net profit reflected the evolution of revenue, EBIT, special items, cost of net financial debt and tax expense based on the factors set out above. After taking in account minority interests, the consolidated net profit attributable to the Group amounted to a gain of €2.5 million, compared to a loss of €93.6 million on 2012 second quarter.

France climbed by 2 points to 57% whereas Americas and APAC fell by 1 point to 13% and 4%, respectively.

This decrease in revenue was primarily due to an decrease of 7.0% and 0.1% in revenue in the CRM and Strategic Data and Healthcare Professionals divisions, respectively, partially offset by a 5.6% increase in revenue in the division Insurance and Services (in each case, on a like-for-like basis).

By division, the breakdown of Group revenue remains relatively stable. The contribution of CRM and Strategic Data fell by 3 points to 49%. The contribution of Healthcare Professionals and Insurance and Services increased by 1 and 2 points, respectively, to respectively 33% and to 18%.

Purchases used increased by €0.5 million, or 0.8%, from €56.7 million for the first half of 2012 to €57.2 million for the first half of 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, purchases used represented 12.5% for the first half 2012, compared to 13.1% for the first half 2013. This increase in purchases used was primarily due to an increase in UK activity which entailed increased purchase of equipment. This increase by 0.8% in purchases used reflects the decrease in Q1 by 1.8% and an increase in Q2 by 3.4%.

External expenses decreased by €1.1 million, or 0.9%, from €114.6 million for the first half of 2012 to €113.5 million for the first half of 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, external expenses represented 25.3% for the first half 2012, compared to 26.0% for the first half of 2013. This decrease in external expenses was primarily due to a reduction in overall operating costs as a result of the introduction of cost control measures, including a reduction in temporary employees, under the Performance Improvement Plan in late 2011 and November 2012 and ongoing costcontainment efforts in 2013. This decrease is partly offset by an increase of Cegelease activity, which entailed increased leasing of software and equipment that is then leased to customers. This decrease by 0.9% in external expenses reflects the decrease in Q1 by 3.0% and the increase by 1.2% in Q2.

Payroll costs decreased by €6.4 million, or 2.8%, from €228.8 million for the first half of 2012 to €222.3 million for the first half of 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, payroll costs represented 50.5% for the first half of 2012, compared to 50.9% for the first half of 2013. The decrease in payroll costs was primarily due an overall reduction in the number of employees pursuant to the Performance Improvement Plan, in particular, in the CRM and Strategic Data division partly offset by an increase in the number of employees in the Healthcare Professionals and Insurance and Services divisions. Following the introduction of the CICE ("Crédit d'impôt pour la compétivité et l'emploi" -Tax credit for competitiveness and employment) in France in 2013, the payroll cost in the P&L is reduced by this tax credit. For the first half of 2013 the impact on payroll cost is a reduction of €1.3 million, which correspond to the full year estimated amount proratized for the period. This decrease by 2.8% in payroll costs reflects the decrease in Q1 and Q2 by 3.5% and 2.1%, respectively.

EBITDA decreased by €12.9 million, or 18.9%, from €68.3 million for the first half of 2012 to €55.4 million for the first half of 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, EBITDA represented 15.1% for the first half of 2012, compared to 12.7% for the first half of 2013. This decrease in EBITDA reflected the evolution of revenue, purchases used, external expenses and payroll costs based on the factors set out above.

EBIT before special items (Operating income before special items) decreased by €11.6 million from €37.6 million for the first half of 2012 to €25.9 million for the first half of 2013. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, EBIT represented 8.3% for the first half of 2012, compared to 5.9% for the first half of 2013. This decrease was due to the decrease in EBITDA of €12.9 million, as set above, and a decrease in depreciation expenses by €1.3 million, or 4.1%, from €30.7 million in the first half of 2012 to €29.4 million in the first half of 2013.

Special items amounted to charges of €4.0 million, compare to charges of €117.0 million one year earlier following the €115.0 million impairment of goodwill in June 2012. The major parts of this cost are related to the restructuring costs with the Performance Improvement Plan and ongoing cost-containment efforts in 2013.

Total cost of net financial debt increased by €14.5 million from €21.6 million for the first half of 2012 to €36.1 million for the first half of 2013. This increase reflect the premium paid in Q1 2013 of €8.9 million in March 2013 for the partial 2015 bond buyback and the impact of the 2013 March refinancing with an increase of accrued interest of €2.3 million mostly in Q2 2013 and an increase in the write-off of capitalized cost for €3.9 million (€1.9 million in Q1 and €2.0 million in Q2).

Tax expense decreased by €2.8 million from a charges of €2.4 million for the first half of 2012 to a credit of €0.4 million for the first half of 2013. This decrease reflects a decrease in income taxes by €0.4 million and an increase in deferred taxes for €2.4 million related mainly to a loss carry forward in France.

Consolidated net profit amounted to a loss of €12.8 million compared to a loss of €102.6 million for the same period last year. This increase in consolidated net profit reflected the evolution of revenue, EBIT, special items, cost of net financial debt and tax expense based on the factors set out above. After taking in account minority interests, the consolidated net profit attributable to the Group amounted to a loss of €12.8 million, compared to a loss of €102.6 million on 2012 first half.

Expressed as a percentage of total revenue, revenue for the CRM and Strategic Data division represented 52.7% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 49.0% for second quarter of 2013.

business model. However, this development did allow for significant growth in the sales of OneKey offerings over the first half. Growth continues in emerging countries, particularly in China and in Russia. "Compliance" offerings are likely to get a boost from the release of the "Transparency" decree in France, which will require companies to publish reports starting October 1. The Group's ongoing investment strategy will allow it to launch new products and services over the coming months. Management remains confident that the second half will be more robust in light of the order book, planned product launches, "Compliance" offerings and making up lost ground in market research.

EBIT before special items (Operating income before special items) decreased by €7.0 million, or 50.1%, from €13.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to €6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Consolidated total balance sheet amounted to €1,313.4 million at June 2013, a 1.9% increase over December 31, 2012.

Goodwill on acquisition was €615.8 million at June 30, 2013, compared with €613.7 million at the end of 2012. This €2.1 million increase is chiefly attributable to a currency impact of €2.1 million which led to revaluation of goodwill on acquisition on foreign currency mainly due to a reinforcement of the Euro compared to the US dollar for €4.5 million partly offset by a reinforcement of the sterling compared to the Euro for €1.7 million. Goodwill on acquisition represents 46.9% of the total balance sheet on June 2013, compare to 47.6% six months prior.

Tangible and intangible assets amount to €254.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, compared to €251.8 million at the end of 2012. Tangible assets decrease by €5.9 million, down 14.2% compared to December 31, 2012. On the other hand, intangible assets increased by €8.3 million, up 4.0% compared to December 31, 2012, reflecting the increase of capitalized development costs partly offset by the amortization of development costs. Tangible and intangible assets decrease to 19.3% of total assets compared to 19.5% at December 31, 2012.

Accounts receivable-short-term portion remain quite stable at €215.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013 compare to €215.2 million at the end of December 2012.

Cash and cash equivalent came to €64.4 million at June 30, 2013, up €21.0 million compared with December 31, 2012. This increase reflects primarily the March refinancing and an improved cash collection process despite a decrease in factoring from €21.0 million at end of December 2012 to €15.2 million at end of June 2013. Cash and cash equivalent came to 4.9% of total assets at end of June 2013 compared to 3.4% six months earlier. Please note that net cash amounted to €25.5 million compare to 21.5 million six months earlier.

Long-term financial liabilities came to €518.6 million at June 30, 2013 up €61.5 million compared with December 2012. This increase reflects primarily the March refinancing operation (for more details please see "Interest Rate Risk" on page 34) that includes the reimbursement of the Term Loan that translates by a decrease in short term debt, an increase in long term debt by €40 million, €15 million of additional debt partially used for fees payment related to this operation and a €5 million increase in the second quarter of 2013 of the drawn part of the RCF for working capital requirement. Long-term liabilities include liabilities under Cegedim employee profit sharing plans in the total amount of €8.2 million at end of June 2013.

Short term debts decreased by €21.5 million to €51.1 million at June 30, 2013. This decrease reflects primarily the March refinancing operation that includes the reimbursement of the Term Loan, translated by a decrease in short term debt, an increase in long term debt of €40 million partly offset by an increase of €16.9 million of the overdraft facility for working capital requirement in the second quarter of 2013.

Cash and equivalents exceed short-term financial debt (less than 1 year). Short-term liabilities include liabilities under Cegedim employee profit sharing plans in the total amount of €1.6 million at end of June 2013.

Total financial liabilities amounts to €569.7 million up €40.0 million. Total net financial debt amounts to €505.3 million, an increase of €19.0 million compared six months earlier. This represents 121.4% of equity as of June 30, 2013 compared to 114.3% as of December 31, 2012. Long-term and short-term liabilities include liabilities under Cegedim employee profit sharing plans in the total amount of €9.8 million at end of June 2013. Thus the net financial liabilities amount to €495.1 million compare to €475.6 million six month earlier.

Shareholders' equity decrease by €9.6 million or 2.3% to €415.7 million at June 30, 2013, compared to €425.3 million at the end of 2012. This decrease reflect the Group reserves decline by €82.9 million partially offset by a positive change of €72.5 million in Group earnings after the impairment of goodwill in 2012, and a positive change of €0.9 million of Group exchange reserves. Total shareholders' equity came to 31.6% of total assets at end of June 2013 compared to 33.0% six months earlier.

(a) Gross cash flow equal consolidated profit (loss) for the period plus share of earnings from equity method companies plus depreciation plus provision plus capital gains or losses on disposals plus cost of net financial debt plus tax expenses.

Net cash flow from operating activities increased by €12.8 million from €39.7 million in the first half of 2012 to €52.5 million in the first half of 2013. This increase reflects a decrease in profit and an increase in cost of financial debt offset by a decrease in taxes paid and in working capital requirement.

Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased by €1.8 million from an outflow of €37.0 million in the first half of 2012 to an outflow of €35.2 million in the first half of 2013. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in total capital expenditures for €6.3 million partly offset by the impact on tangible assets of the disposal of Pharmapost on April 30th, 2012 for €4.4 million.

Net cash flow used in financing activities amounted to an outflow of €12.7 million in the first half of 2013, a decrease of €7.6 million as a result of the increase in net loan issued by €17.5 million following the March refinancing offset by an increase in cost of debt related to the premium paid in March 2013 of €9.9 million for the partial 2015 bond buyback.

Working capital levels vary as a result of several factors, including seasonality and the efficiency of receivables collection process. Historically, Cegedim has financed the working capital requirements through the cash on hand and amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility and overdraft facilities. Since 2011, Cegedim has also been relying on cash from the sale of receivables in the ordinary course of business on a non-resource basis.

Working capital decreased by €7.0 million at end of June 2013 compared to end of December 2012. This decrease is mainly due to a decrease by €1.1 million in change of inventories and change in work in progress, by a decrease by €3.4 million of change in accounts receivables and other receivables and a decrease of €2.5 million in change of accounts payable and other liabilities. Due to seasonality, working capital requirement decreased in Q1 2013 and increased in Q2 2013. Total working capital requirement for the first half of 2013 and 2012 was 4.9% and 7.9% of first half revenues, respectively.

Total capital expenditures n.a. 17.1 41.3 35.9 79.1

(a) Assets used by Cegelease for lease agreements and not transferred to banks

Capital expenditures remain relatively stable from year to year. Historically, they have primarily related to R&D, maintenance costs and purchases made in respect of Cegelease's leasing business. There are no material capital expenditure commitments. Flexibility and discretion are maintained in order to adjust, from time to time, the level of capital expenditures to the needs of Cegedim's business.

For the first half year of 2013, capital expenditures were €35.9 million, consisting of €22.6 million of capitalized R&D, €5.4 million in maintenance capex, €7.9 million of assets used for lease agreements by Cegelease not transferred to banks. As a percentage of revenue, capital expenditures amounted to 8.2 % for the first half of 2013.

The payroll expenses for the R&D workforce represent the majority of the total R&D costs and amounts approximately for the first half of 2013 to 7% of revenue. Although this percentage is not a targeted figure, it has remained relatively stable for the past several years. Of this R&D expenditure, approximately half is capitalize annually in accordance with IAS 38, which requires that (i) the project be clearly identified and the related costs are separable and tracked reliably; (ii) the technical feasibility of the project has been demonstrated, and the Group has the intention and the financial capacity to complete the project and use or sell the products resulting from this project; and (iii) it is probable that the developed project will generate future economic benefits that will flow to the Group. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and for the first half of 2013, €12.0 million and €22.6 million of R&D costs were capitalized, respectively. The remaining parts of R&D costs are recorded as expenses for the period in which they were incurred.

Balance of net cash from operations, net cash from investments operations and net cash from financing operations leaded to a positive €1.6 million and €4.7 million change of cash at end of the second quarter of 2013 and at end of the first half year of 2013, respectively.

MAIN RISKS

Activities remain subject to the usual risks inherent in engaging in its trades as well as political and geopolitical risks arising from its international presence for most of its activities and unexpected instances of force majeure.

A description of main risks is available in the Chapter 4 "Risk factors" p. 23 of the Cegedim 2012 Registration Document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (French Financial Markets Authority - AMF) on March 5, 2013. During first-half of 2013, Cegedim identified no other significant changes.

Please see below for an update of the Interest Rate Risk and Liquidity Risk following the March 2013 refinancing operation on the Group debt.

INTEREST RATES RISK

To limit the effects of rising interest rates on its financial expenses, the Group has implemented a risk hedging policy to limit the maximum interest expense for the duration of its debts. Only Cegedim S.A. has implemented interest hedging, when necessary. Interest rate hedges are monitored centrally in order to measure the overall interest rate risk exposure and to effectively control the market instruments used under hedging strategies in place.

The Group hedges interest rate risk on the basis of both current debt and probable future debt levels, namely accounting for changes in the use of its revolver lines of credit and changes in the composition of its debt profile. Depending on the position to be managed and the benchmark rate upheld, a hedging strategy is implemented. The aim of such a strategy is to protect the benchmark rate and leverage, at least in part, on any positive changes. These hedging strategies mainly involve futures or forwards derivatives and options derivatives. There is no guarantee as to the Group's capacity to effectively hedge against interest rate risks.

The amount of loans that have been hedged against adverse changes in interest rate risk was €60 million at end of June 2013.

In May 2007, Cegedim received the FCB Loan, a shareholder loan from its largest shareholder, FCB, for an amount of €50.0 million. The shareholder loan agreement between Cegedim S.A. and FCB was signed on May 7, 2007. The FCB Loan Agreement was amended on September 5, 2008 and September 21, 2011 to extend the maturity date and modify the applicable interest rate. In December 2009, FCB subscribed for €4.9 million equivalent in shares as a redemption of a portion of debt that decreased the balance of the FCB Loan to €45.1 million.

On June 10, 2011, Cegedim entered into a €280.0 million term loan and multi-currency revolving credit facilities agreement. The Term loan amounts to a notional of €200 million with semi-annual principal repayment of €20 million. The Revolving Credit Facility amounts to a notional of €80 million. The Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement terminate on June 10, 2016.

On July 27, 2010, the Group issued a €300.0 million 7.0% senior bonds due July 27, 2015, in an offering that was not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange and its ISIN code is FR0010925172. In November 2011, on the open market, Cegedim proceed to a €20 million bond buy back and cancelled it. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding was €280.0 million.

On March 20, 2013, Cegedim issued a €300 million senior Reg S/144A bond with a coupon of 6.75% maturing April 1, 2020. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange and its ISIN code is XS0906984272 and XS0906984355. The issue price was 100% of the nominal value. Cegedim used the proceeds to:

  • redeem 7% bonds maturing in 2015 as part of a redemption offer at a price of 108% on a principal amount of €111.5 million. Including accrued unpaid interest, the total amount was €121.5 million. There are €168.6 million in bonds still outstanding;
  • repay the full term loan of €140 million;
  • repay amounts drawn on the revolving credit facility;
  • pay fees and charges related to these transactions.

The structure of debt at 30 June 2013 was as follows:

  • €168.6 million bond debt at 7.00% maturing 27 July 2015;
  • €300 million bond debt at 6.75% maturing 1 April 2020;
  • €80 million revolving credit expiring 10 June 2016, €75 million undrawn as of June 30, 2013;
  • €45.1million FCB Loan maturing June 2016;
  • €46.5 million overdraft facility; 38.9 million was drawn at June 30, 2013.

Interest rate

The €168.6 million bond debt maturing 27 July 2015 bears interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum, payable semi-annually.

The €300 million bond debt maturing 1 April 2020 bears interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum, payable semi-annually

The interest payable on the Credit Revolver Facility is the aggregate of the applicable margin, EURIBOR (or LIBOR in the case of USD-denominated loans) and certain mandatory costs (Non-use fee of 40% of the margin, and a use fee of 25 basis points applies if the amount drawn down exceeds 50% of the total amount of the revolving credit). The applicable margin is based on the consolidated leverage ratio and the currency in which the loan is denominated. The table below provides the schedule of applicable margins for the Revolving Credit Facility.

Applicable Margin (% per annum)
Leverage Ratio euro-denominated USD-denominated
> 3.00 3.25 3.75
≤ 3.00 and > 2.50 3.00 3.50
≤ 2.50 and > 2.00 2.50 3.00
≤ 2.00 2.25 2.75

As of June 30, 2013, the applicable margin on drawn amounts under Revolving Credit Facility was 3.00%.

The FCB Loan bears interest at a rate of 200 basis points above the rate applicable under the Revolver Credit facility Agreement. The interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year.

Repayment of Borrowings

Date Bonds 7.00% Bonds 6.75% FCB Loan
July 21, 2015 €168.6 m
June 30, 2016 €45.1 m
April1st, 2020 €300.0 m

The Revolving Credit Facility Agreement terminates on June 10, 2016.

Financial rating

Cegedim has been rated by Standard & Poor's since May 2010. At the date this Interim Financial Report was published, and since April 26, 2013, Cegedim has had the B+ grade, with a stable outlook. The rating agency could downgrade the Group either due to internal factors to Cegedim or on account of factors that affect the sector of activity in which the Group operates.

A lower grade by Standard & Poor's would have no impact on the financial costs of the current two bonds issue and on the Credit Revolving Facility. On the other hand, it could impact the Group's ability to rise new funding or to refinance a portion of its existing debt.

Description of Hedges put in place by the Group

The euro debt's exposure to variations in the euro rate is partially hedged. The notional amount hedged is 60,000 thousand euros for a euro debt of 89,023 thousand euros at June 30, 2013. The hedge is made up, as of June 30, 2013, of three no premium one month Euribor pre-set receivers, fixed rate payer as follows:

  • Rate of 4.565% on a notional hedged amount of €20,000 thousand euros, until December 29, 2017;
  • Rate of 4.57% on a notional hedged amount of €20,000 thousand euros, until December 29, 2017;
  • Rate of 4.58% on a notional hedged amount of €20,000 thousand euros, until December 29, 2017.

The amount of debt exposed to adverse changes in interest rate risk at June 30, 2013 was €29.0 million including overdraft facilities.

Assessment of the Interest Rates Risk

At June 30, 2013, a 1% increase in interest rates applied to the non-hedged debt would have an impact of approximately €0.3 million on the Group's earnings before income tax.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Group liquidity risk is caused primarily by the maturity, amortization and payments of interest of the Revolving Credit Facility, the FCB Loan and the two Bonds. Borrowing is monitored centrally.

Net financial debt as of June 30, 2013 increased by 3.1% and 4.1% compared to March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Net Financial Debt In € millions

FIRST HALF YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

On March 20, Cegedim issued a €300 million senior Reg S/144A bond with a coupon of 6.75% maturing April 1, 2020. The issue price was 100% of the nominal value. Cegedim used the proceeds to:

  • redeem 7% bonds maturing in 2015 as part of a redemption offer at a price of 108% on a principal amount of €111.5 million. Including accrued unpaid interest, the total amount was €121.5 million. There are €168.6 million in bonds still outstanding;
  • repay a term loan of €140 million;
  • repay amounts drawn on the revolving credit;
  • pay fees and charges related to these transactions.

On 26 April 2013, Standard and Poor's upgraded its rating on Cegedim and its two bonds to "B+ with stable outlook".

Apart from the items cited above, to the best of the company's knowledge, there were no events or changes during the period that would materially alter the Group's financial situation.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

To the best of the company's knowledge, there were no events or changes of the sort to significantly alter the Group's financial situation between end of June 2013 and the date of the publication of this document.

RELATED PARTIES

A description of transactions with related parties is available in the note 25 page 173, of the Cegedim 2012 Reference Document, filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (French Financial Markets Authority - AMF) on March 5, 2013. During the first half of 2013, Cegedim identified no other significant related parties.

OUTLOOK

In the wake of a second quarter affected by order postponement and unfavorable market conditions, Cegedim is still working to rein in costs while continuing to prioritize innovation and debt reduction.

As a result, in the absence of any major changes in its market trends, the Group now expects stable revenues (decrease of around 5% at CRM and strategic data division and growth of around 5% at the Healthcare professionals and Insurance and services divisions) and reiterates its target of a 50 basis point improvement in the operating margin from recurring operations for 2013.

Outlook FY 2013
Revenue
CRM and Strategic Data (5)%
Healthcare Professionals +5%
Insurance and Services +5%
Cegedim group 0%
EBIT margin
Cegedim group +50bps

These projections are as publicly disclosed on September 2013. The fact that Cegedim includes these projections in this document should not be taken to mean that these amounts continue to be our projections as of any subsequent date.

Note 2 – Highlights

On March 20, 2013, Cegedim issued a €300 million senior Reg S/144A bond with a coupon of 6.75% maturing April 1, 2020. The issue price was 100% of the nominal value.

Cegedim used the proceeds to:

  • Redeem 7% bonds maturing in 2015 as part of a redemption offer at a price of 108% on a principal amount of €111.5 million. Including accrued unpaid interest, the total amount was €121.5 million. There are €168.6 million in bonds still outstanding;
  • Repay a 2016 term loan of €140 million;
  • Repay amounts drawn on a revolving credit for €30 million;
  • Pay fees and charges related to these transactions.

Note 3 – Goodwill on acquisition

In net value, at June 30, 2013, goodwill on acquisition represents 616 million euros compared to 614 million euros at December 31, 2012. This 2 million euros change corresponds primarily to the impact of the revaluation of goodwill on acquisition denominated in foreign currencies. The impact is mainly due to the euro/dollar change (+4.5 million euros), partially offset by the euro/sterling change (-1.7 million euros).

The Group reconsidered the CGU grouping where goodwill of the CRM and strategic data division has to be affected. Geographical zones of which it is not possible to directly attach an independent cash flow were grouped in only one CGU (CRM and strategic data).

Indeed, for the last couple of years, this division has deeply modified its organization and offers, in order to allow it to answer stakes induced by markets globalization. Division products are available on a worldwide mutual base, with strong operational synergies and a centralized R&D supervision. Sales and marketing departments have become multinational. Management reporting is centralized, which has led to the almost disappearance of independent decisions making process for geographical zone. This evolution has been progressive and fully operational during 2013 first half: convergences manifest themselves in the administrative and financial management, and make obsolete the geographical segmentation flow generated within the CRM and strategic data division.

The level of activity during Q2 2013 of the CRM and strategic data division, which shows up below the Group expectation in the CRM and strategic data division because of a change in the seasonal nature of order intake and the related revenue, leads the Group to establish, on June 30, 2013, indicators of possibility of impairment on this division.

The Group carried out tasks for its half-year financial statements in order to update main hypothesis behind the assets valuation affected to the CRM and strategic data division. They do not only apply to goodwill on acquisition for this division, but also aim to measure the recoverable value of all necessary assets to run this division, i.e. a total of 604 million euros tested, of which goodwill amounted to 448 million euros.

Hypothesis used are the following:

  • Revenue growth was revised in CRM and strategic data business plans in order to be more moderated at the beginning of the plan, combined with a sustainable effort on productivity. Previous closing trends are generally maintained, with a division average growth of 3.3% for the 2013-2017 period (against 3.5% previously). These trends are the result of a mix focused on high margin products, less users number dependant, launch of new innovative offers allowing to accompany emerging markets, and to fulfill mature countries demand regarding new regulatory evolutions of these markets;
  • Business plans have been reviewed during Audit Committee and submitted to the General Meeting during the session as of September 19, 2013 ;
  • The accepted discount rate before tax amounts to 10.27%, compared to 10.86% as at December 31, 2012, and 11.64% as at June 30, 2012, with an unchanged calculation method;
  • The perpetuity growth rate is estimated at 2%, identical to past financial statements;
  • As previous years, an independent firm helped the Group to lead these tests.

Considering these hypothesis, it appears that the recoverable value of assets are enough compared to the book value.

The sensitivity of impairment tests was measured by varying unfavorably market (discount rate and perpetuity growth rate) and operational assumptions.

Operational sensibilities (operating margin) tested did not show any impairment risks.

Market sensibilities, even tested individually, would not lead to any impairment. However, combined unfavorable factors altogether on either the perpetuity growth rate and the discount rate would lead to an insufficient coverage of assets.

(1): Receivables corresponding to financial leases granted by Cegelease and due for payment in more than one year.

Receivables are valued at their face value.

A provision for impairment is recognized if the inventory value, based on the probability of collection, is less than the recorded value. Thus, doubtful clients are routinely impaired at 100%, and receivables outstanding for more than six months are monitored on a case-by-case basis and, if necessary, impaired in the amount of the estimated risk of noncollection.

The share of past-due receivables, gross amount, is 52 million euros at June, 30, 2013.

Receivables transferred with transfer of credit risk

The contractual conditions of factoring contracts (concluded in 2011) enable the transfer of the main risks and advantages related to transferred receivables and therefore their removal from the balance sheet.

According to IAS 39, receivables transferred to third parties (factoring contract) are derecognized from the Group assets when the risks and advantages associated with them are substantially transferred to the said third parties and if the factoring company accepts, in particular, the credit risk, the interest risk and the recovery deadline (see "Accounting Policies - accounts receivable" in the 2012 Registration Document).

Total receivables transferred with transfer of credit risk thus deconsolidated under IAS 39 in the context of factoring contracts at June 30, 2013 amounts to 15 million euros, a decrease compared to December 31, 2012.

There is no available cash at June 30, 2013 within the context of these contracts.

Financing

In May 2007, Cegedim received the FCB Loan, a shareholder loan from its largest shareholder, FCB, for an amount of €50.0 million. The shareholder loan agreement between Cegedim S.A. and FCB was signed on May 7, 2007. The FCB Loan Agreement was amended on September 5, 2008 and September 21, 2011 to extend the maturity date and modify the applicable interest rate. In December 2009, FCB subscribed for €4.9 million equivalent in shares as a redemption of a portion of debt that decreased the balance of the FCB Loan to €45.1 million.

On June 10, 2011, Cegedim entered into a €280.0 million term loan and multi-currency revolving credit facilities agreement. The Term loan amounts to a notional of €200 million with semi-annual principal repayment of €20 million. The Revolving Credit Facility amounts to a notional of €80 million. The Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement terminates on June 10, 2016.

On July 27, 2010, the Group issued a €300.0 million 7.0% senior bonds due July 27, 2015, in an offering that was not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange and its ISIN code is FR0010925172. In November 2011, on the open market, Cegedim proceed to a €20 million bond buy back and cancelled it. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding was €280.0 million.

On March 20, 2013, Cegedim issued a €300 million senior Reg S/144A bond with a coupon of 6.75% maturing April 1, 2020. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange and its ISIN code is XS0906984272 and XS0906984355. The issue price was 100% of the nominal value. Cegedim used the proceeds to:

  • Redeem 7% bonds maturing in 2015 as part of a redemption offer at a price of 108% on a principal amount of €111.5 million. Including accrued unpaid interest, the total amount was €121.5 million. There are €168.6 million in bonds still outstanding;
  • Repay a term loan of €140 million;
  • Repay amounts drawn on a revolving credit facility;
  • Pay fees and charges related to these transactions.

As a result, the structure of debt at June 30, 2013 was as follows:

  • €168.6 million bond debt at 7.00% maturing July 27, 2015;
  • €300 million bond debt at 6.75% maturing April 1, 2020;
  • €80 million revolving credit expiring June 10, 2016, €5 million was drawn as of June 30, 2013;
  • FCB loan of €45.1 millions maturing June 2016;
  • Overdraft facility of €46.5 million, €38.9 million was used as of June 30, 2013.

The euro debt's exposure to variations in the euro rate is partially covered with a Euro rate hedge. At June 30, 2013, hedging debt to variations in Euro rates is composed of a three swap no premium one month pre-set Euribor receiver, payer fixed rate defined as follows:

  • 4.565% rate on a notional value hedged 20,000 thousand euros, amortized until due date 12.29.2017;
  • 4.57% rate on a notional value hedged 20,000 thousand euros, amortized until due date 12.29.2017;
  • 4.58% rate on a notional value hedged 20,000 thousand euros, amortized until due date 12.29.2017

The total notional value hedged amounts to 60,000 thousand euros during the first semester of 2013.

Note 16 – Events occurring after the closing date

To the best of the company's knowledge, there were no events or changes of the sort to significantly alter the Group's financial situation since December 31, 2012 and until the present Interim Financial report.

Note 17 – Seasonality

The operating results of the second and fourth quarters of the year are typically better than the operating results of the two other quarters and, overall, the operating results for the second half of the year are better than those for the first half. This is largely due to the seasonal nature of the business decisions of Cegedim's clients. In particular, with respect to the CRM and Strategic Data division, the clients make greater use of Cegedim's services at the end of the calendar year as they consider the results of their marketing and sales efforts over the course of that year and formulate strategies and budgets for the next year. Medical representatives also tend to make greater use of our services at the end of the year as they aim to reach their annual targets. Similarly, the Healthcare Professionals and Insurance and Services divisions benefit from clients investing in our offerings at the end of the year in order to make full use of their annual budgets.

GLOSSARY

EPS: Earnings Per Share is a specific financial indicator defined by the Group as the net profit (loss) for the period divided by the weighted average of the number of shares in circulation.

Revenue at constant exchange rate: when changes in revenue at constant exchange rate are referred to, it means that the impact of exchange rate fluctuations has been excluded. The term, "at constant exchange rate" covers the fluctuation resulting from applying the exchange rates for the preceding period to the current fiscal year, all other factors remaining equal.

Revenue on a like-for-like basis: the effect of changes in scope is corrected by restating the sales for the previous period as follows:

  • by removing the portion of sales originating in the entity or the rights acquired for a period identical to the period during which they were held to the current period;
  • similarly, when an entity is transferred, the sales for the portion in question in the previous period are eliminated;

Internal growth: internal growth covers growth resulting from the development of an existing contract, particularly due to an increase in rates and/or the volumes distributed or processed, new contracts, acquisitions of assets allocated to a contract or a specific project.

External growth: external growth covers acquisitions during the current fiscal year, as well as those which have had a partial impact on the previous fiscal year, net of sales of entities and/or assets.

EBIT: Earnings Before Interest and Taxes. EBIT corresponds to the net revenue minus operating expenses (such as salaries, social charges, materials, energy, research, services, external services, advertising, etc.). It is the operating income for the Cegedim group.

EBIT from recurring operations: this is EBIT restated to take account of non-current items, such as losses on tangible and intangible assets, restructuring, etc. It corresponds to the operating income from recurring operations for the Cegedim group.

EBITDA: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is the term used when amortization or depreciation and revaluations are not taken into account. "D" stands for depreciation of tangible assets (such as buildings, machines or vehicles), while "A" stands for amortization of intangible assets (such as patents, licenses and goodwill). The EBITDA is restated to take account of non-current items, such as losses on tangible and intangible assets, restructuring, etc. It corresponds to the gross operating earnings from recurring operations for the Cegedim group.

Net Financial Debt: this represents the Company's net debt (non-current and current financial debt, bank loans, debt restated at amortized cost and interest on loans) net of cash and cash equivalents and excluding revaluation of debt derivatives.

Free cash flow: free cash flow is cash generated, net of the cash part of the following items: (i) changes in working capital requirements, (ii) transactions on equity (changes in capital, dividends paid and received), (iii) capital expenditure net of transfers, (iv) net financial interest paid and (v) taxes paid.

Operating margin: Defined as the ratio of EBIT/revenue.

Operating margin from recurring operations: defined as the ratio of EBIT from recurring operations/revenue
