Frankfurt am Main, March 22, 2012 – The Members of the Management Board of MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft (MediClin) said at this year’s balance sheet press conference that they are satisfied with the results of FY 2011 especially against the background of new legal regulations, which don’ t or only limited allow to rise costs. “The requirements for medical services are increasing all the time, the willingness to honour more quality in the treatments not. Therefore the solution can only be an integrated cross-sector medical care, which allows an efficient treatment on a high quality level”, said Frank Abele, Chairman of the management Board..

Of the remainingsales increase totalling EUR 1.7 mill., EUR 0.8 mill. was derived from the nursing carebusiness area. The service business area, which is also assigned to the other activitiessegment, recorded an increase in sales, too.

In the post-acute segment, thesegment result decreased von EUR 6.2 mill. to EUR 2,8 mill. and the acute segment result decreased fromEUR 18.2 mill. toEUR 15.2 mill.

Capacity expansion in the segments to secure future internal growth
In the post-acute segment the bed capacity was significantly increased in neurology and psychosomatics as aresult of higher demand. The expansion of the service range in these specialist medicalfields reflects corporate strategy to concentrate on specific areas that correspond to growing demand. The bed capacity in the acute segment was alsoexpanded over the course of the financial year. Inthe coming years, a rising occupancy rates for these additional capacities is expected.

Outlook
In 2012, MediClin will continue on the path that it has embarked upon – providing crosssector,integrated, patient-focused care that is close to patients’ homes. Opportunities sees MediClin in the shareholding of the Asklepios Group. The Management Board anticipates additional growth potential as overlaps in the servicerangeonly exist at a few locations.

The refinancing of existing loan obligations totalling EUR 61.4 mill. will have apositive effect in the 2012 financial year. Accordingly, updated interest rates lead toexpectations of a better financial result from 2012 onwards.

Overall, should the framework conditions in the industry and the referral practices ofcoverage providers not change drastically in 2012, the Management Board expects anincrease in sales and a solid earnings performance for the current financial year.
