Efficiency, a focus on results and transparency are the basic principles of therapy optimisation.

With EDP-based data collection for the systematic measurement and evaluation of treatment results in rehabilitation, we are influencing the enhancement of therapy concepts and therapy standards on a Group-wide basis. We are also securing therapeutic quality with measurable results.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Shareholders, Staff, Partners and Friends of MediClin AG,

Sales and revenues are traditionally low in the first quarter of a new financial year. This year, occupancy rates in the first weeks of the 2011 financial year were lower than the high values for the same period last year, i.e. during the first quarter of 2011, the Group occupancy rate was 83.4%, as compared to 86.1% for the first quarter of 2010. Consolidated sales amounted to EUR 120.0 mill., a figure which was EUR 1.8 mill. or 1.5% above the same quarter last year. The consolidated operating result of EUR –0.5 mill. was EUR 0.5 mill. less than the previous year's value. The result attributable to the shareholders of MediClin AG amounted to EUR –2.0 mill.

If we examine the segments, sales in the post-acute segment amounted to EUR 66.3 mill., or were EUR 0.1 mill. higher than the previous year's value. Costs including depreciation and amortisation rose as compared to the same period last year by EUR 1.7 mill., leading to a decrease in the segment result, from EUR –2.0 mill. to EUR –3.3 mill. Sales in the acute segment increased by EUR 1.2 mill. to EUR 50.4 mill. Here the revenues could offset the higher costs, so that the segment result improved from EUR 4.1 mill. to EUR 4.6 mill. In both segments, staff costs are the largest cost item, representing 54.3% (post-acute) and 51.4% (acute) of overall costs – rising the most in absolut terms among other factors due to personnel recruitment.

In the post-acute segment, the lower indication-based reference values decreed by the German Pension Fund since the end of 2010 for the average length of patient stay have had an effect. An altered authorisation procedure for certain indications also led to a decrease in the number of nursing days in the first quarter – both led to decreased revenues. There are no signs, however, that there will be lower utilisation of budgets in 2011 on the part of the coverage providers.

This year as well, the Management Board and Supervisory Board would like to propose payment of a dividend at the annual general meeting

Since the company's performance continued to be satisfactory in 2010, and as the Management Board and Supervisory Board expect both a stable economic situation and job market in 2011, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board will propose the payment of a dividend in the amount of five cents per share for the 2010 financial year at the annual general meeting on 26 May 2011.

Public takeover bid of Asklepios Kliniken GmbH for EUR 4.24 per share

On 24 March 2011, Asklepios Kliniken GmbH published documents pertaining to its takeover bid. These documents indicate that the two principal shareholders of MediClin, ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG and Provinzial Rheinland Lebensversicherung AG, have both followed a non-committal obligation, i.e. that they will

not accept the takeover bid. The non-committal obligation of Provinzial Rheinland Lebensversicherung AG is based on a purchase bid for the number of MediClin shares held in January 2009 at EUR 3.78 per share. This purchase bid, terminable on 31 March 2011, has since been extended.

The joint statement of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, as well as the statement of the Group Works Council, was duly published on 5 April 2011 on our homepage www.mediclin.de, and can be viewed there. The statement includes the results of the examination concerning the amount of the bid price per share and includes recommendations for short-term and long-term investors.

Main topics for 2011

In 2011, the topic of quality, especially the quality of results in all areas of the Group, will remain in focus and be enhanced.

In other words, performance and progress in medicine, therapy and nursing care, as well as in all the service areas, will become measurable through the appropriate benchmarking. This will allow us to act and assist in a targeted manner.

This also means that our clinics will face the requirements of the nationwide quality portal for private clinics, fulfilling some 400 quality indicators related to medical quality, patient safety, patient satisfaction and referring physician satisfaction. Six of our eight acute clinics are now members of this quality portal.

Recruitment and employee loyalty are spheres which will be focused on in 2011, as qualified and motivated employees make a substantial contribution to corporate success.

Outlook

In 2011, MediClin will invest in internal growth, and as far as the framework conditions of the industry and the referral behaviour of the coverage providers do not seriously alter in 2011, the Management Board expects a slight increase in turnover as well as operating results comparable to the previous year.

In terms of external growth, acquisition efforts will be focused on the acute sector.

Dr. Ulrich Wandschneider Chairman of the Management Board

Interim Group management report of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft

for the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 March 2011

Company development in the first quarter of 2011

General information

This report on the interim financial statements of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft is based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Generally, the preparation of the interim reports consists of updating the annual reports. The present interim report for the first three months of the 2011 financial year should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the annual report published for the 2010 financial year. The interim report has not been reviewed by auditors. The figures that were 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 first quarter of 2011, MediClin generated Group sales of EUR 120.0 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 118.2 mill.). This represents an increase of EUR 1.8 mill. or 1.5% over the value of the same period last year.

In millions of 3 Q1 2011 Q1 2010 Change in %
Post-acute 66.3 66.2 +0.2
Acute 50.4 49.2 +2.4
Other activities and reconciliation 3.3 2.8 +17.9
thereof nursing care 2.9 2.8 +3.6
Group 120.0 118.2 +1.5

Sales in the Group and in the segments in quarterly comparison

Per-case revenues, adjusted for hybrid clinic cases and sales from the medical care centres, totalled EUR 3,441 (Q1 2010: EUR 3,382) in the post-acute segment and EUR 4,958 (Q1 2010: EUR 4,874) in the acute segment. The share of outpatient health care in the Group revenue was EUR 3.9 mill. or 3.2% (Q1 2010: EUR 3.6 mill. or 3.0%), of which EUR 2.0 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 1.5 mill.) was attributed to the medical care centres.

Development of nursing days, cases and occupancy rates in the Group and in the segments

In the Group, the number of accomplished nursing days decreased by 1.4% or 8,572 days, and the number of cases decreased by 1.2% or 353 cases, as compared to the same quarter last year. This led to a decrease of the occupancy rate by 2.7 percentage points to 83.4%. However, the developments were different for the segments. While the number of nursing days in the post-acute sector was 13,035 days below the value of the same period last year, the acute sector registered an increase of 3,222 nursing days and the nursing care business area an increase of 1,241 nursing days.

Other activities (only nursing care) 34,725 33,484 +3.7
Group 594,302 602,874 – 1.4

The development of the case numbers also displayed a similar pattern. The post-acute segment showed a decrease of 425 cases and the acute segment an increase of 72 cases.

Acute 10,714 10,642 +0.7
Group (without nursing care) 29,019 29,372 – 1.2

Due to the negative development of the nursing days and case numbers in the post-acute segment, as compared to the same period last year, the occupancy rate in this segment also decreased by 4.0 percentage points. In the acute segment and the nursing care business area, on the other hand, the occupancy rates rose by 1.0 and 3.4 percentage points, respectively.

Group 83.4 86.1

Development of the operating result in the Group and in the segments

Despite the EUR 1.8 mill. increase in Group revenue, the Group operating result for the first quarter of 2011 was EUR 0.5 mill. less than the same period last year due to stronger increased costs. Decisive here were primarily higher quarter-on-quarter staff costs (EUR +2.9 mill.), an increase in depreciation and amortisation (EUR +0.4 mill.) and higher other operating expenses (EUR +0.5 mill.).

335.7 100.0 336.4 100.0

The balance sheet total decreased by EUR 0.7 mill., or 0.2%, as compared to 31 December 2010, which is reflected, above all, in the reduction of the current assets on the asset side, and in the reduction of the non-current liabilities on the equity and liabilities side.

An addition of EUR 0.1 mill. in intangible assets was recorded for the non-current assets, while property, plant and equipment (31.03.2011: EUR 150.1 mill.; 31.12.2010: EUR 150.3 mill.) decreased by EUR 0.2 mill. and deferred taxes remained nearly the same at EUR 5.0 mill.

Current assets decreased by EUR 0.6 mill. as of the cut-off date. Primarily trade receivables (EUR –3.3 mill.) and other assets (EUR –1.2 mill.) were reduced as compared to the previous year's value. This was offset by increases in prepaid expenses (EUR +1.8 mill.), receivables pursuant to the hospital financing law (EUR +0.5 mill.) and cash and cash equivalents (EUR +1.6 mill.).

Equity totalled EUR 162.9 mill. and the equity ratio decreased by 0.6 percentage points, from 49.1% to 48.5%, due to the offset quarterly loss.

Non-current liabilities decreased by EUR 0.9 mill. due to a reduction of the non-current financial liabilities (EUR –1.2 mill.) and an increase in the provisions and deferred tax liabilities (EUR +0.3 mill. and EUR +0.1 mill., respectively).

Compared to the reference date of 31 December 2010, current liabilities increased by a total of EUR 2.3 mill. Essentially, an increase was recorded for other liabilities (EUR +6.7 mill.), the current liabilities to banks and insurance companies (EUR +1.0 mill.) and the liabilities pursuant to the hospital financing law (EUR +1.2 mill.), while trade payables (EUR –4.5 mill.), current provisions (EUR –2.1 mill.) and current tax liabilities (EUR –0.1 mill.) all decreased.

Development of the financial position

The cash flow from operating activities for the first three months of 2011, totalling EUR 4.2 mill., improved by EUR 3.2 mill. as compared to the same period last year (Q1 2010: EUR 1.0 mill.).

The cash flow from investing activities totalled EUR –2.4 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR –5.1 mill.). In the first three months of 2011 expenses for investments totalled EUR 2.9 mill., which was EUR 2.3 mill. less than the amount for the same period last year (Q1 2010: EUR 5.2 mill.), while payments received from disposals of assets and subsidies increased to EUR 0.5 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 0.1 mill.).

The cash flow from financing activities totalled EUR –0.2 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR –0.6 mill.). The change is due to the repayment of loans.

Compared to 31 December 2010, this resulted in an increase of cash and cash equivalents by EUR 1.6 mill. to EUR 49.5 mill. as of 31 March 2011 (31.12.2010: EUR 48.0 mill.).

Development of results of operation

In the first three months of 2011, MediClin generated Group sales of EUR 120.0 mill. This represents an increase of EUR 1.8 mill. or 1.5% over the same period last year. However, this was offset by staff cost increases of EUR 2.9 mill., higher depreciation and amortisation (EUR +0.4 mill.) and other operating expenses which were also higher (EUR +0.5 mill.). Despite the rise in other operating income, which was EUR 1.4 mill. higher than the same period last year, as well as EUR 0.2 mill. lower raw materials and consumables used, the Group operating result at EUR –0.5 mill. was EUR 0.5 mill. less than the value for the first quarter of the previous year.

With a financial result that was EUR 0.1 mill. higher – also compared to the same period last year – the quarterly Group result attributable to the shareholders of MediClin AG amounted to EUR –2.0 mill., which represents a decrease of EUR 0.4 mill. as compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Totalling EUR 26.9 mill., the raw materials and consumables used decreased by EUR 0.2 mill. as compared to the same period last year. While a EUR 0.7 mill. decrease was recorded for the cost of raw materials and supplies, the costs of purchased services showed an increase of EUR 0.5 mill., which is primarily attributable to surplus purchases of medical services.

Other operating expenses increased by EUR 0.5 mill. to EUR 22.2 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 21.7 mill.), which was largely due to greater expenses for rents and leases (EUR +0.4 mill.).

The financial result improved by EUR 0.1 mill. to EUR –1.3 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR –1.4 mill.).

The result before income taxes totalled EUR –1.8 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR –1.5 mill.), the result attributable to shareholders of MediClin AG to EUR –2.0 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR –1.6 mill.).

The un/diluted earnings per share were EUR –0.04 (Q1 2010: EUR –0.03).

Capital Expenditure

In the first three months of 2011, investments in non-current assets were made totalling a gross amount of EUR 3.8 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 5.7 mill.).

The average number of employees in the first quarter of 2011, calculated on the basis of full-time staff, was 6,034 full-time employees (Q1 2010: 5,903 full-time employees), which represents an increase of 2.2% compared to the same period last year. The largest increase in full-time employees was recorded in the service business area, which is primarily due to the assumption of catering services. In the acute segment, the development of the medical care centers ran as planned.

The Group employed an average of 210 trainees in the first quarter of 2011 (Q1 2010: 189 trainees).

Due to the strong rise in number of employees in the quarterly comparison (calculated on the basis of full-time staff), sales per full-time employee decreased in the first quarter of 2011 by 0.7% to EUR 19,884 (Q1 2010: EUR 20,028) and the staff costs per full-time employee rose by 2.0%. These were calculated at EUR 11,755 in the first quarter of 2011 (Q1 2010: EUR 11,522).

Altogether, the number of beds remained nearly the same, with an increase in the number of beds in the acute segment (+17 beds) being offset by the reduction in the number of beds in the post-acute segment (–25 beds).

At EUR 66.3 mill., sales in the post-acute segment were slightly above than the value of the first quarter of 2010, despite the decline in number of nursing days and cases. Altogether, the costs allocated to the segment (raw material and consumables used, staff costs and other operating expenses), which totalled EUR 69.8 mill., were EUR 1.4 mill. higher than the value for the same period last year (Q1 2010: EUR 68.4 mill.). The staff cost ratio rose to 54.3% (Q1 2010: 53.1%). Thus the segment result for the first quarter of 2011 was EUR –3.3 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR –2.0 mill.)

In the post-acute segment, MediClin offers services in both the fields of subsequent nursing treatment and curative treatment. All services in the field of psychosomatics are included within the scope of curative treatment. In the first quarter of 2011, 65.7% of the nursing days (Q1 2010: 61.6%) were used for subsequent nursing treatment.

Nursing days in the post-acute segment by measures in quarterly comparison

In the first quarter of 2011, an average of 3,208 full-time employees (Q1 2010: 3,231 fulltime employees) were employed in the post-acute segment.

Sales in the acute segment could be increased by EUR 1.2 mill. or 2.4% to EUR 50.4 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 49.2 mill.). This sales increase was able to offset the rising costs. Quarteron-quarter staff costs rose in this segment as well due the higher number of medical care centres, so that the staff cost ratio was 51.4% (Q1 2010: 49.8 %). The segment result increased by EUR 0.5 mill. to EUR 4.6 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 4.1 mill.). The EBIT margin was 9.0 % (Q1 2010: 8.4 %).

In the acute segment, we employed an average of 1,976 full-time employees in the first three months of 2011 (Q1 2010: 1,927 full-time employees).

In the other activities segment, we achieved sales of EUR 9.7 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 8.7 mill.). Of this amount, EUR 2.9 mill. (Q1 2010: EUR 2.8 mill.) was achieved by the nursing care business area.

During the first three months of 2011, an average of 850 full-time employees (Q1 2010: 745 full-time employees) were on staff; 152 of these in the nursing care business area (Q1 2010: 158 full-time employees) and 698 in the service business area (Q1 2010: 587 full-time employees).

Share 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 90% 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, 41.9% (Q1 2010: 37.5%) of the services are requested by the public health insurance funds, and 47.5% (Q1 2010: 52.4%) are requested by the social security pension funds in the post-acute segment. In the acute segment, 91.2% (Q1 2010: 91.9%) of the services are requested by the public health insurance funds.

Risk and opportunity report

No new noteworthy opportunities or risks arose during the first three months of the 2011 financial year, and there were no changes in the risk and opportunity management; hence we refer to the information provided in the 2010 annual report.

Subsequent events and future prospects

Current economic and sector developments

Leading institutes for economic research expect a continuation of economic recovery in Germany. In April, the growth forecast for the gross domestic product (GDP) was revised upwards for 2011, from 2.2% to 2.8%, and for 2012 to 2.0%. In 2011 and 2012, the unemployment rate is expected to decrease to 6.9% and 6.5%, respectively. Wage increases are also expected, accompanied by a rise of the inflation rate up to 2.4%.

The current economic recovery will be instrumental in reducing the federal debt, though the debt will still remain high.

At the end of January 2011, the evaluator council of the public health insurance funds published its appraisal of the revenues and expenditures of the public health insurance funds for 2010 and 2011. For 2011, the council estimates higher revenues based on higher contributions and better market conditions. These should amount to EUR 181.6 billion, so that the public health insurance funds will not face a deficit. The allocations to the health insurance funds remain unchanged at EUR 178.9 billion, and expenditures are expected to total EUR 178.7 billion. The German Pension Fund scheme is expected to produce a deficit in 2011, which will be offset by federal subsidies – in regard to spending, however, a more restrictive attitude has already been shown here since the end of 2010. However, there is no information currently available on lower budget utilisation in 2011 regarding rehabilitation services.

Outlook for the 2011 financial year

In 2011, MediClin will invest in internal growth, and as far as the framework conditions of the industry and the referral behaviour of the coverage providers do not seriously alter in 2011, the Management Board expects a slight increase in turnover as well as operating results comparable to the previous year.

In relation to external growth, acquisition efforts in the acute sector are the main focus.

Other information

General information

The unaudited consolidated interim financial report of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft for the first three months of the 2011 financial year was prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34. The same accounting and valuation methods used in the consolidated financial statements for the 2010 financial year were also strictly applied in this interim report. The financial statements included in this interim report should therefore be read in conjunction with the Company's 2010 annual report.

Accounting regulations passed during the first quarter of 2011

In its Official Journal dated February 19, 2011, the European Union (EU Directive No. 149/2011 dated February 18, 2011) has adopted the improvements to the International Financial Reporting Standards (Annual Improvements to IFRS) from the 2008 – 2010 cycle as EU legislation.

The amendments of the following standards are obligatory for fiscal years beginning after 30 June 2010:

  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations
  • IFRS 7, IAS 32 and IAS 39 according to the amendments in IFRS 3
  • IAS 21, IAS 38 and IAS 31 according to IAS 27

All other amendments are first obligatory for the fiscal years beginning after 31 December 2010. These concern to following standards:

  • IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards
  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
  • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
  • IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
  • IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes

The amendments to IFRS 1 and IFRIC 13 are irrelevant for MediClin. The remaining amendments will have no significant impact on the Group's net assets, financial position and results.

As the financial year corresponds to the calendar year at MediClin, the legal regulations will uniformly go into effect for the fiscal years beginning after 31 December 2010.

Shareholders with total shares of more than 10%, which have been reported to MediClin AG in accordance with Section 21, paragraph 1 Securities Trade Act (WpHG) are ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG (35.03%), Provinzial Rheinland Lebensversicherung AG (18.01%) and pursuant to notification in accordance with Section 23, paragraph 1, clause 1, no. 2 Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG), Asklepios Kliniken Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH (34.46% per notification on 29 April 2011).
