1Organic growth of Group revenue 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 rates; 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 during the year or year-earlier period; and 4. the change in revenue of recently acquired facilities by comparison with the previous equivalent period.

The Group's cash position at 31 December 2022 is estimated at €856 million (unaudited figure), which is higher than the €350 million euro forecast indicated in the Refoundation Plan Press Release dated November 15th, 2022. This favorable development is mainly due to:
At the end of January 2023, the cash balance amounted to €694 million (unaudited figure), the sharp decrease of c. €160 million compared to 31 December 2022 being mainly explained by the disbursement of payments deferred at the end of 2022.
Gross financial debt is estimated at €9.7 billion (unaudited) at the end of December 2022.
Given the cash position as of 31 December 2022 including the drawdown of the €200 million Tranche A4 and the suspension as of December 1st, 2022 of the repayments under ORPEA SA's unsecured debt implemented in the context of the ongoing conciliation procedure, the Company now considers that the risk of a liquidity shortfall is postponed until the end of the second quarter of 2023.
The Group reminds that it has engaged in a financial restructuring, the primary objectives of which are to achieve a sustainable financial structure and to provide the resources necessary to implement the Refoundation Plan presented on 15 November 2022.
