Monash IVF Chief Executive Officer IVF James Thiedeman said: “Our business has performed strongly in FY14. We have successfully delivered on a number of strategic initiatives and financial targets while remaining absolutely committed to and focused on ensuring our patients continue to receive the most scientifically advanced and high quality IVF treatment, be it full service or low intervention.”
“Our 40-year heritage of leadership in science and innovation in the IVF field, coupled with many of the most experienced group of Doctors in the industry enables us to provide our patients with the highest chance of success and the most effective and appropriate

treatment. Our patient success rate of 32% versus an industry average of 25% in FY14 attests to this focus”, he said.
Monash IVF’s growth in total patient treatments in FY14 reflects continued organic growth by the Group and contributions from recently acquired businesses. In terms of total patient treatments, the Australian business grew by 9.5% in FY14 and generated organic growth (exacquisitions) of 4.2%. This was a healthy performance against market growth of 1%[2] . Monash IVF’s international business grew total patient treatments from 351 to 899 in FY14 representing a full 12 month contribution by KL Fertility.
The Group also opened a new, lower intervention clinic – MyIVF - in Brisbane in February 2014.
James Thiedeman continued: “While Monash IVF has transitioned to a listed company in FY14, what hasn’t changed for this business is an absolute commitment to scientific excellence, clinical safety and patient success. Our pregnancy success rates in the past year show just that and will remain our focus in FY15 and beyond.”
Looking ahead, in FY15 Monash IVF will continue to focus on its key strategic pillars; to maintain and extend its leadership in science and innovation; to leverage off its scale to further develop superior science and attract and retain the most experienced fertility specialists in the industry; to grow the Group’s low intervention service offering; and to continue to explore international growth opportunities from its business base in Malaysia.
In FY15, the Group will open another low intervention clinic in Sydney in the first half of 2015 and will continue to assess other suitable locations for additional clinics.
Based on current forecasts and information, Monash IVF Group is on track to deliver on its FY15 forecasts as outlined in the Prospectus of June 2014.
