General note

In the 2016 annual financial statements the method for charging the facilities for Group contributions and the amounts thereof were changed. This has an effect on the segment results in segment reporting. In the following, the previous year's segment reporting figures were adjusted for the change in Group contributions to improve the comparability of figures.

Report on the economic position for the first quarter of 2017

General statement on results of operations, financial position and net assets

In the first quarter of 2017, Group sales of EUR 147.1 mill. were EUR 5.2 mill. or 3.7% higher than in the comparable prior-year quarter. The post-acute segment recorded a sales increase of EUR 4.4 mill., while the acute segment posted a EUR 0.6 mill. and the nursing care business area a EUR 0.2 mill. increase. Thus, the positive sales development seen in 2016 continued in the first quarter of the new financial year.

Group EBIT amounted to EUR –0.5 mill. and was thus EUR 2.2 mill. lower than the previous year's value. The main reason for the decline in earnings compared to the first quarter of 2016 is a marked rise in staff costs.

In the first quarter of 2017, the development of the post-acute segment is in line with the guidance. Regarding the forecast for the acute segment, it is to be seen what effect the introduced measures will have in the coming months.

Gross investments amounted to EUR 11.2 mill. in the first quarter of the 2017 financial year (Q1 2016: EUR 7.1 mill.), pertaining mainly to the reconstruction and expansion of clinics and the acquisition of medical equipment. Capital expenditure is thus in line with the annual budget. Cash and cash equivalents as of 31 March 2017 amounted to EUR 31.0 mill. (31.12.2016: EUR 41.6 mill.).

No changes have occurred regarding opportunities and risks in the first quarter of the 2017 financial year compared to the information published in the 2016 Annual Report. Please refer to the risk and opportunity report, page 48.

Group operating result –0.5 1.7

Group sales in the first quarter of the 2017 financial year were EUR 5.2 mill. or 3.7% above the previous year's value. Raw materials and consumables used increased by EUR 1.2 mill. (+4.5%) and staff costs by EUR 5.3 mill. (+6.2%), which was mainly due to a higher number of employees (+242 full-time employees). The increase in depreciation and amortisation and other operating expenses was in line with expectations. The rise in raw materials and consumables used and, in particular, in staff costs led to an operating result of EUR −0.5 mill., equalling a EUR 2.2 mill. decrease compared to the previous year.

The financial result was moderately better at EUR −0.5 mill., mainly due to lower interest and similar expenses.

The total consolidated result attributable to shareholders of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft was EUR −0.8 mill. (Q1 2016: EUR 0.9 mill.). Earnings per share came to EUR −0.02 (Q1 2016: EUR 0.02).

The sales and earnings performance at segment level is illustrated in more detail in the segment reporting section.

The cash flow for the period results primarily from the cash flow from investing activities, which amounted to EUR –9.1 mill. (Q1 2016: EUR −5.4 mill.). EUR 9.7 mill. thereof was invested in property, plant and equipment (Q1 2016: EUR 6.4 mill.), while payments received from investment subsidies amounted to EUR 0.3 mill. (Q1 2016: EUR 1.2 mill.).

BALANCE SHEET STRUCTURE

The balance sheet total has increased by EUR 2.7 mill. since 31 December 2016.

Non-current assets rose by EUR 4.3 mill., with property, plant and equipment increasing by EUR 3.8 mill. Deferred tax assets increased by EUR 0.2 mill.

Current assets decreased by EUR 1.6 mill. This is due primarily to a EUR 10.6 mill. reduction in cash and cash equivalents, a EUR 5.2 mill. increase in trade receivables and a EUR 2.7 mill. rise in advance payments made. On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, the total consolidated result reduced equity by EUR 0.9 mill.

Non-current liabilities are slightly below the level of 31 December 2016.

The EUR 4.0 mill. increase in current liabilities is a result of the EUR 10.1 mill. rise in other payables and the simultaneous decrease in trade payables by EUR 4.6 mill. Other payables mainly refer to staff-related liabilities. Liabilities pursuant to hospital financing law dropped by EUR 1.5 mill.

Segment reporting

54.3 53.7 +1.2
4.7 4.5 +3.9
3.8 3.6 +4.8
147.1 141.9 +3.7

Sales in the post-acute segment were EUR 4.4 mill. higher than in the same period of the previous year. Based on indications a higher occupancy especially in neurology, acute neurology, geriatrics and orthopaedics contributed to sales growth. The positive sales development of the segment is also founded on the ability that MediClin could recruit qualified staff despite skills shortage in the healthcare market.

As anticipated, sales in the acute segment increased moderately by EUR 0.6 mill.

In the other activities segment, sales of the nursing care business area improved by EUR 0.2 mill. based on an improvement of the occupancy rate.

Group –0.5 1.7 1.7

In the post-acute segment the segment result (pro forma) could be improved due to a disproportionately low increase in raw materials and consumables used compared to sales growth despite increased staff costs because of a higher number of employees (+112 full-time employees). The segment EBIT margin was 0.8% (Q1 2016 pro forma figure: 0.5%).

In the acute segment, an increase in raw materials and consumables used and, in particular, higher staff costs also due to a higher number of employees (+81 full-time employees) meant that the segment result came in below the previous year's figure. The segment EBIT margin was −1.7% (Q1 2016 pro forma figure: 2.6%).

Employees

A comparison of the first quarters reveals that the number of employees, calculated in full-time employees, increased considerably in the post-acute segment, which is due to the larger range of services on offer. The Group employed an average of 276 trainees in the first quarter of 2017 (Q1 2016: 247 trainees).

OIK-Immobilienfonds

MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft (MediClin) filed a suit with the District Court of Offenburg asserting claims for repayment of rental payments above the usual market rate. The Company assumes that the aggregate rents paid for the period 2005 to 2015 were higher than the usual market rents in this period.

The suit was filed against existing and former shareholders of the Company, who hold shares of the real estate fund into which the hospitals acquired and rented back between 1999 and 2001 were incorporated.

MediClin carefully weighed up the opportunities and risks of the suit in view of the fact that the subject matter of the legal dispute is highly complex, especially with regard to the evaluation whether rents conform to usual market rates, and that some of the very difficult questions of law involved have not yet been decided by the highest courts.

Therefore, the Management Board is of the opinion that no changes to the balance sheet are required in this respect.
