1 Organic growth reflects the following factors: 1. The year-on-year change in the revenue of existing facilities as a result of changes in their occupancy rates and per diem rate 2. The year-on-year change in the revenue of redeveloped facilities or those where capacity has been increased in the current or year-earlier period 3. Revenue generated in the current period by facilities created in the current or year-earlier period, and the change in revenue at recently acquired facilities by comparison with the previous equivalent period.

Q1 2019 revenue came to €909.9 million, up 9.4%. Half of the growth was organic and half came from acquisitions notably in Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The 4.7% organic growth was driven by our key success factors:
In 2018, ORPEA signed a number of cooperation agreements at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in the presence of Presidents Putin and Macron aiming to develop a network of health facilities across Russia.
In addition, ORPEA has recently entered into an operational partnership with Bpifrance and RDIF, the Russian sovereign wealth fund, to establish post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals in Russia. These prestigious partners will underpin and secure the development of ORPEA in Russia.
Under this agreement, an initial project has been agreed with the Russian government and Moscow city authorities to develop a post-acute and rehabilitation hospital at the Moscow International Medical Cluster. This facility will offer 200 beds of rehabilitation and 50 outpatient places and will specialise in orthopaedics, cardiology, neurology and oncology care. It is scheduled to open in 2022.
The Russian government is willing to set up a leading contender in this still developing industry. Its goal is to jointly establish a network of post-acute and rehabilitation hospitals across the country to help Russian patients recover and return to work and/or living at home.
"Our growth accelerated during the first quarter of 2019, lifting our revenue 9.4% to €910 million. This strong performance is supported by the two core pillars of our strategy: a strong organic growth of 4.7% and the contribution of selective acquisitions.
Furthermore, in line with our strategy of international expansion, the partnership with the sovereign fund RDIF and Bpifrance aiming to develop a post-acute and rehabilitation offer in Russia, presents a significant potential given the limited number of existing facilities in this country, and also illustrates ORPEA's leadership in the European market.
Following a dynamic first-quarter, we are confidently reiterating our guidance of over €3,700 million in revenue (+8.2%) and solid profitability."
