MediClin publishes half-year figures of the 2008 financial year - showing satisfying occupancy

Frankfurt am Main, August 8, 2008 – In the first half-year of 2008, Group sales of EUR 225.6 mill. were achieved, thus being 17.6% above previous year’s value. Cleared of the turnover from the Kraichgau-Klinik Group, which totalled EUR 25.3 mill., Group sales would have been EUR 200.3 mill. and thus EUR 8.5 mill. or 4.5% higher than in the previous year. The Group result of operations (EBIT) for the first half-year of 2008 amounts to EUR 5.2 mill. (1. HY 2008: EUR 5.7 mill.) Compared with the previous year’s period higher rent expenses totalled up to EUR 3.9 mill. The contribution from the 2nd quarter of 2008 is EUR 4.8 mill. and thus significantly higher than the operational result in the 1st quarter (Q1 2008: EUR 0.4 mill.). This was achieved despite sharply risen personnel and material costs. Pleasing is the development of the occupancy rates, being 85.7% (1. HJ 2007: 83.0%) Group-wide in the meantime.

In the post-acute segment the increased costs, particularly the again mature rental expenses, could be balanced by increased sales, allowing the result to be maintained. Subsequent nursing treatments accounted for 60% of the nursing days including the newly acquired facilities. In the acute segment the result was not maintained because greater people-intensity and a higher consumption of medical materials was showing a greater effect than in the post-acute segment. The EBIT margin is 7.6% (1 HY 2007: 10.3%). In the nursing care segment sales increase by approximately 13%, the result is on par with the previous year.

The per-case revenue totalled EUR 3,132 (1 HY 2007: EUR 3,128) in the post-acute segment and EUR 4,652 (1 HY 2007: EUR 4,113) in the acute segment. The share of outpatient health care in the Group sales was EUR 5.3 mill. (1 HY 2007: EUR 4.6 mill.).

Kraichgau takeover successful

The integration of the facilities of the Kraichgau-Klinik Group into the MediClin Group is proceeding according to plan. A further step in the restructuring of the Kraichgau-Klinik Group was successfully finalized through the transfer of the Vitalisklinik to the City of Bad Hersfeld.

The interim report as of June 30, 2008 is available on www.mediclin.de.
