SUMMARY OF MEDICLINIC HOLDINGS LIMITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
INTRODUCTION
Following the acquisition by Mediclinic Holdings Limited (“Mediclinic” or “Group”) (a consortium comprising Remgro and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company Holding SA (MSC)) and subsequent delisting of Mediclinic Group Limited (“Mediclinic Group”), there is no regulatory requirement for Mediclinic to release financial results. However, considering the significant contribution by Mediclinic, the holding company of Mediclinic Group, to Remgro’s results and intrinsic net asset value, Remgro is releasing a voluntary statement containing a summary of Mediclinic’s financial results for the year ended 31 March 2026. Mediclinic’s financial results, including divisional results and reconciliations (“Mediclinic Abridged Results”), can be accessed at the following link to Remgro’s website https://www.remgro.com/investor-centre/mediclinic-results/.

- The percentage variances are calculated in unrounded US dollar values and not in millions.
- The Group uses adjusted income statement reporting as non-IFRS measures in evaluating performance and to provide consistent and comparable reporting. Refer to the policy and ‘Reconciliations’ section on pages 5 to 8 of the Mediclinic Abridged Results.
- Earnings refers to earnings attributable to equity holders.
- Net debt reflects bank borrowings and lease liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents.
- Cash conversion, calculated as cash generated from operations as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA, is used by management to measure cash generation by the Group.
PROPOSED RESTRUCTURING
On 30 March 2026, Remgro and Investment Holding Limited SARL (IHL) (a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC) entered into an implementation agreement regarding a proposed restructuring of their respective interests in Mediclinic. Under the agreement, Remgro will acquire full ownership of Mediclinic Southern Africa (MCSA) for a purchase consideration of $950m and IHL will acquire full ownership of Hirslanden for a purchase consideration of $950m. As a result, the MCSA and Hirslanden divisions have been classified as disposal groups held for sale and presented as discontinued operations in terms of IFRS 5. This reclassification resulted in impairment charges of $555m on the Hirslanden division, arising from the remeasurement of the division's carrying value to fair value less costs to sell.
RESULTS COMMENTARY
For the year ended 31 March 2026, the Group delivered a robust operating performance, navigating a fluid geopolitical landscape and a persistently challenging market environment. The operating performance was underpinned by underlying volume growth, favourable mix changes, and continued execution of the operating model review, which drove efficiency gains and overall improvement.
Adjusted revenue increased by 11% to $5 356m (FY25: $4 818m), up 5% in constant currency terms. The increase reflects strong patient activity across all three divisions and most client settings, coupled with a positive shift in mix that enhanced average revenue per case.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 14% to $842m (FY25: $737m) and 8% in constant currency terms. The Group's adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.7% (FY25: 15.3%), supported by a combination of revenue growth and cost efficiencies.
Included in earnings are the impairment charges of $555m referred to above, as well as impairment charges of $689m (2025: $279m) (before tax) relating to property, equipment and vehicles, and intangible assets in Switzerland, reflecting increasingly challenging market conditions. These impairment charges are non-cash in nature and are excluded from the adjusted earnings metrics.
