Cover Initiative quality medicine
Focus on patient satisfaction
We consider the opinion of our patients to be the barometer for the quality of our services. Communication with our patients is therefore an important element of our employee qualification across all occupational groups.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Shareholders, Staff, Partners and Friends of MediClin AG,
In the first nine months of the 2011 financial year, we achieved sales of EUR 367.7 mill., which represents an increase of EUR 4.7 mill., or 1.3%, over the same period last year.
The Group operating result for the same period was EUR 7.0 mill., which was EUR 5.1 mill. below the reference value for the previous year. Across all segments this decrease in operating result was caused by expenses that increased more than sales and occupancy rates in the post-acute segment, which were lower in comparison to the high level of the same period last year. In this segment, lower indication-based reference values on the average length of patient stay enacted at the end of 2010 by the German statutory pension insurance scheme, as well as an altered authorisation procedure, have had a diminishing effect on the number of nursing days. As in the first half of 2011, this mainly affected the demand for curative treatment in orthopaedics and internal medicine; whereas in psychosomatic medicine, which is also assigned to curative treatment, more services were demanded and authorised. In nearly all medical indications, the demand from the German statutory pension insurance scheme for subsequent nursing treatment services was higher than last year. Overall, the number of provided nursing days rose by just under 33,000 nursing days in comparison to last year's nine-month period value. The lower demand for curative treatment services could thus be partially compensated for. This shows that we are on the right track with our focus on services in subsequent nursing treatment, neurology and psychosomatic medicine.
The acute segment developed in a more positive manner. Sales revenues in this segment rose in the nine-month comparison by EUR 2.6 mill., or 1.8%, to EUR 150.7 mill. At EUR 12.6 mill., the segment result was on a par with last year, despite higher expenditures – also in connection with the medical care centres.
The nursing care business area continued to develop positively. Here, sales rose from EUR 8.3 mill. to EUR 8.8 mill. During the reporting period, occupancy rates were calculated at 94.8% and were thus 3.6 percentage points above the previous year's value.
Asklepios is the new majority shareholder of MediClin
At the end of September 2011, Asklepios Kliniken Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung increased its shares in MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft to 52.73%. It will be determined over the next few months what synergy effects and results can be obtained through collaboration between MediClin and its majority shareholder, Asklepios Kliniken Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung. The goal of both companies is to develop further the business model of integrated health care, which both enterprises feel offers the best basis for further growth.
Outlook
As the noticeable reticence to award contracts on the part of the social security pension funds, observed during the first half of 2011, has continued into the second half of 2011, the operating result for the 2011 financial year will be affected, despite countermeasures taken. At present, an operating result in the upper single-digit range is expected.

Interim Group management report of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft
for the period from 1 January 2011 to 30 September 2011
Company development in the first nine months of the 2011 financial year
General information
The financial reporting of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft (MediClin) is based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Generally, the preparation of the interim reports consists of updating the annual report. The present interim report for the first nine months of the 2011 financial year should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the annual report published for the 2010 financial year as well as the interim reports for the first quarter of 2011 and for the first half-year of 2011. The present interim report has not been reviewed by auditors. The figures disclosed for last year were determined according to the same accounting and valuation principles in order to ensure that the published figures are comparable with each other.
Development of sales in the Group and in the segments
In the nine-month comparison, Group sales totalling EUR 367.7 mill. rose by EUR 4.7 mill., or 1.3% over the same period last year, whereof EUR 1.1 mill. were attributed to the post-acute segment, EUR 2.6 mill. to the acute segment and EUR 0.5 mill. to the nursing care business area.

Development of the operating result in the Group and in the segments
In a nine-month comparison, Group sales totalling EUR 367.7 mill. were EUR 4.7 mill. or 1.3% above the figures for the same period last year (9 M 2010: EUR 363.0 mill.). However, the Group operating result in the amount of EUR 7.0 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 12.1 mill.) showed a decrease of EUR 5.1 mill. The increased sales revenues, as well as other operating income, which rose by EUR 2.4 mill., were offset by additional expenditures totalling EUR 12.2 mill. Of the increased costs, staff costs accounted for EUR 8.2 mill., other operating expenses for EUR 2.3 mill., depreciation and amortisation for EUR 1.2 mill. and raw material and consumables used for EUR 0.5 mill.
The earnings performance in the segments was as follows: the post-acute segment result worsened in the 9-month comparison. Decisive for this was the only slight rise in sales as compared to the previous year, which was not able to compensate for the higher staff costs (EUR +4.5 mill.), higher other operating expenses (EUR +2.0 mill.) and higher depreciation and amortisation (EUR +1.0 mill.) compared to the same period last year.
For its part, the acute segment result was nearly unchanged for the same period. The segment result encompasses the result of the medical care centres, which was negative at EUR 2.1 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR –1.3 mill.).
The result for other activities and reconciliation is unchanged as compared to the same period last year.

| Other activities and reconciliation | –5.8 | –5.8 |
| Group | 7.0 | 12.1 |
In the third quarter of 2011, the result of the post-acute segment was EUR 2.8 mill., which was EUR 1.5 mill. below the comparable previous year's value due to cost factors and occupancy rates. The decrease of EUR 0.3 mill. in the acute segment result is, among other things, due to somewhat lower occupancy rates as compared to the previous year.

| Current liabilities | 115.8 | 34.1 | 115.1 | 34.2 |
| 339.8 | 100.0 | 336.4 | 100.0 |
The balance sheet total rose by EUR 3.4 mill., or 1.0%, as compared to 31 December 2010, which has led primarily to an increase in the non-current assets on the assets side and to higher non-current liabilities on the equity and liabilities side.
Non-current assets continue to represent approximately two-thirds of the balance sheet total and are completely financed through equity and non-current funds. They primarily include goodwill (30.09.2011: EUR 51.4 mill.; 31.12.2010: EUR 51.2 mill.) as well as property, plant and equipment (30.09.2011: EUR 160.9 mill.; 31.12.2010: EUR 150.3 mill.). The addition in goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of physician practices within the scope of expansion of two medical care centres. Deferred tax assets and tax refund claims account for EUR 4.3 mill. (31.12.2010: EUR 5.4 mill.), financial assets are unchanged and account for EUR 1.5 mill. and concessions and licences, including payments on account, for EUR 1.8 mill. (31.12.2010: EUR 2.4 mill.).
On the reporting date, the current assets decreased by EUR 5.7 mill., which mainly resulted from decreases in trade receivables (EUR –6.4 mill.), other assets (EUR –1.0 mill.) and cash and cash equivalents (EUR –1.1 mill.). The decreases were partially offset, predominantly by increases in prepaid expenses (EUR +1.4 mill.), the receivables pursuant to the hospital financing law (EUR +0.9 mill.) and inventories (EUR +0.4 mill.).
Primarily as a result of the distribution of dividends of EUR 2.4 mill. equity decreased by EUR 1.8 mill. or –1.1%. Allowing for the increased balance sheet total, the equity ratio decreased by a total of 1.1 percentage points to 48.0% (31.12.2010: 49.1%).
The rise in non-current liabilities by EUR 4.5 mill. primarily resulted from increases in noncurrent liabilities to banks (EUR +3.9 mill.), pension provisions (EUR +0.7 mill.) and deferred tax liabilities (EUR +0.4 mill.). The rise of non-current liabilities to banks mainly resulted from the acceptance of a loan amounting to EUR 7.6 mill. to finance the acquisition of the building accommodating the MediClin Rose Klinik, Horn-Bad Meinberg. This was partially offset by decreases in other financial liabilities (EUR –0.5 mill.).
The rise of current liabilities by EUR 0.7 mill. resulted from the increase in liabilities to banks and insurance companies (EUR +1.2 mill.), liabilities pursuant to hospital financing law (EUR +2.9 mill.), other liabilities (EUR +4.6 mill.) and current tax liabilities (EUR +0.2 mill.). This was partially offset by lower trade payables (EUR – 4.5 mill.) and current provisions (EUR –3.8 mill.).
Development of the financial position
The cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 2011, totalling EUR 15.9 mill., saw a reduction of EUR 2.0 mill. compared to the same period last year (9 M 2010: EUR 13.9 mill.).
The cash flow from investing activities totals EUR –19.2 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR –13.2 mill.), with investments of EUR 22.9 mill. in the first nine months of 2011 (9 M 2010: EUR 16.1 mill.) being partially offset by subsidies totalling EUR 3.6 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 2.7 mill.). An amount of EUR 0.2 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 0.1 mill.) from the disposal of fixed asset items was available for financing. At EUR 9.4 mill., the largest single investment in the third quarter of 2011 was the acquisition of previously leased buildings accommodating MediClin Rose Klinik, Horn-Bad Meinberg. The acquisition was 20% self-financed and 80% financed through bank loans.
The cash flow from financing activities totals EUR +2.1 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR –5.8 mill.) for the first nine months of 2011. It results with EUR – 2.4 mill. from the dividend payment and with EUR +4.5 mill. in taking up a net loan. To purchase the real estate of MediClin Rose Klinik, an annuity loan of EUR 7.6 mill. was taken up. The loan has a contract period of 15 years; the interest is fixed for the first ten years at 4.5% annually. The loan is secured through land register entries for the purchased properties.
Altogether, cash and cash equivalents for the first nine months of 2011 decreased by EUR 1.1 mill. to EUR 46.9 mill. As of 30 September 2010, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 53.5 mill.
Development of results of operation
In the first nine months of 2011, MediClin generated Group sales of EUR 367.7 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 363.0 mill.). This represents an increase of EUR 4.7 mill. or 1.3% over the same period last year.
The raw materials and consumables used increased by EUR 0.5 mill. or 0.6% to EUR 82.0 mill. in the nine-month period in 2011 (9 M 2010: EUR 81.5 mill.). While a decrease of EUR 0.9 mill. was recorded for cost of raw materials and supplies, which mainly resulted from lower expenditure for pharmaceutical products, laboratory equipment and medical material, the cost of purchased services rose by EUR 1.4 mill. Of this, EUR 1.1 mill. is attributable to the increase in purchased medical services.
The cost of materials ratio improved in the first nine months of 2011 and in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to the previous year's values, by 0.1 and 0.3 percentage points, respectively.

Staff costs rose by EUR 8.2 mill., or 4.1%, to EUR 209.1 mill. in comparison to the first nine months of 2010 (9 M 2010: EUR 200.9 mill.). The increase was primarily due to a higher number of staff and compensation adjustments.

Depreciation and amortisation, totalling EUR 11.3 mill., increased by EUR 1.2 mill. over the same period in 2010 (9 M 2010: EUR 10.1 mill.).
Other operating expenses, totalling EUR 66.7 mill., rose by EUR 2.3 mill. over the same period last year (9 M 2010: EUR 64.4 mill.). Of this amount, primarily EUR 1.1 mill. was for higher rents and EUR 0.5 mill. for higher maintenance costs.
The financial result, totalling EUR –3.8 mill., saw an improvement of EUR 0.2 mill. over the same period last year (9 M 2010: EUR –4.1 mill.).
The result before income taxes, totalling EUR 3.2 mill., represents a decline of EUR 4.9 mill. compared to the same period last year (9 M 2010: EUR 8.1 mill.). Net of income taxes totalling EUR 2.6 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 1.8 mill.) and the earnings share attributable to noncontrolling interests, the result attributable to shareholders of MediClin AG amounted to EUR 0.6 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 6.2 mill.). The increase in income tax despite the inferior result is caused by the lack of tax losses carried forward due to the acquisition of a stock majority by Asklepios Kliniken Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, Hamburg, (Section 8c (1) Corporate Tax Law KStG – Deduction of losses by corporations).
Un/diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.01 (9 M 2010: EUR 0.13) for the first nine months of 2011.
Capital expenditure
In the first nine months of 2011, gross investments in non-current assets totalled EUR 24.0 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 17.5 mill.). Subsidies totalling EUR 3.6 mill. (9 M 2010: EUR 2.7 mill.) were accrued by MediClin in this period.

Segment reporting
The sales revenues for the segments and the nursing care business area increased both in the nine-month comparison and in the comparison of third quarters in relation to the same period last year.

Share of sales of specific coverage provider groups
According to IFRS (IFRS 8.34 Information about major customers), a company must provide information about its degree of dependency on its most important customers.
Due to its activities as a nationwide hospital operator, in the case of MediClin these are the statutory social security pension funds and the public health insurance funds, which request about 88.1% of total services. Supervision and control of sales with the coverage providers by the Management Board is carried out with the help of monthly statistics on the coverage providers, which documents the services invoiced to the individual coverage providers on the basis of nursing days provided. Based on these statistics, during the first half-year of 2011, the statutor health insurance funds requested 41.4% (9 M 2010: 37.5%) and the social security pension fund 47.8% (9 M 2010: 50.1%) of the services. In the acute segment, 91.7% (9 M 2010: 92.0%) of the services were requested by the statutory health insurance funds.

In contrast to other European countries, the experts feel that the state of the economy in Germany continues to be satisfactory, though it is levelling off. The risk of the European national debt crisis expanding into a general bank crisis seems to have been averted; nevertheless this could increasingly put a strain on the German economy. Consumer uncertainty in the framework of the crisis could lessen domestic demand and the difficult state of important trade partners could deflate the growth of the export industry. A confidence-building effect would be produced if the G20 heads of state and government immediately adopt a plan to implement the resolutions of the euro-crisis summit held in Brussels at the end of October.
The economic institutes expect the gross domestic product to increase this year by 2.9% and to increase by 0.8% in 2012. They also predict a decrease in the unemployment rate from 7.0% to 6.7% in 2012. The inflation rate will presumably be 2.3% in 2011 and 1.8% in 2012.
In September 2011 the first reading of the "Law on the Stabilization and Structural Reform of Statutory Health Insurance in Germany" (GKV-VStG) took place in the German Bundestag. The law should essentially take effect on 1 January 2012. The GKV-VStG aims to make comprehensive medical care located in the neighbourhood area more regionally effective, of higher quality, more competitive and more modern. Furthermore, the licensing regulations for medical care centres should to be modified. Of advantage to MediClin would be the equivalence of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities through uniform health care contracts.
Due to the positive development at the labour market over the course of the year, the financial state of the statutory health insurance funds was better than expected in the first nine months of 2011. The statutory health insurance funds evaluator council expects contribution income to total EUR 183.4 bill. in 2011, or EUR 1.7 bill. more than was expected at the beginning of the year. Thanks to the positive labour market figures, the income of the social security pension funds has also increased. According to The Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund (Federation of German Pension Insurance Institutions) the statutory pension insurance scheme will report a surplus of approximately EUR 4.4 bill. in 2011.
Outlook
Lower indication-based benchmarks on the average length of patient stay in the rehabilitation sector enacted at the end of 2010 by the German statutory pension insurance scheme, as well as an altered authorisation procedure, have had a diminishing effect on the number of nursing days in post-acute segment thus far in 2011. Particularly the demand for services assigned to curative treatment is in decline. In nearly all medical indications, the demand on the part of the social security pension funds for services involving subsequent nursing treatments was almost at the same level as last year. In the post-acute segment, these constitute more than 60% of the furnished medical services – calculated on the basis of nursing days.
As the noticeable reticence to award contracts on the part of the social security pension funds, observed during the first half of 2011, has continued into the second half of 2011, the operating result for the 2011 financial year will be affected, despite countermeasures taken. At present, an operating result in the upper single-digit range is expected.
During the first nine months of the 2011 financial year, MediClin has invested significantly more in internal growth than it did during the same period last year, and will continue this business objective in 2012. It will be determined over the next few months what synergy effects and results could be obtained through collaboration between MediClin and its majority shareholder, Asklepios Kliniken Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung. The goal of both companies is to develop the business model of integrated health care, which both enterprises feel offers the best basis for further growth.
