Sales and occupancy rates increased – higher costs compared to previous year’s quarter

Frankfurt, May 8, 2009 – MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft (MediClin) has achieved sales of EUR 112.5 mill. in the first three months of the 2009 financial year. This is EUR 3.2 mill. or 2.9 % more than in the same period last year. Admittedly increasing costs – especially energy costs – led to a quarterly operating result of the Group of EUR -0.1 mill. which is EUR 0,5 mill. below the comparable value of the previous year’s figure (Q1 2008: EUR 0.4 Mill.). The post-acute segment had to absorb the largest part of the increase in costs, therefore the segment result was EUR 1.4 mill. below the previous year’s value (Q1 2009: EUR -3.3 mill.; Q1 2008: EUR -1.9 mill.). The acute segment could improve it’s result despite higher costs by EUR 0.6 mill. to EUR 4.5 mill. (Q1 2008: EUR 3.9 mill.).

Comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of MediClin amounted to EUR –1.7 mill. (Q1 2008: EUR –1.5 mill.) in the first quarter of 2009. Undiluted and diluted earnings per share were EUR – 0.04 (Q1 2008: EUR – 0.05).

MediClin shows liquid assets of EUR 55.6 mill at the end of the period (31.03.2008: EUR 24.4 mill.). The increase of liquid assets by EUR 31.2 mill. was primarily attributable to the capital increase performed in November 2008.

In the Group, the number of nursing days rose by 0.7% or 4,201 days, and the number of cases by 1.6% or 471 cases, as compared to the same quarter last year. The occupancy rate was 84.7%, thus 1.7%- points higher than the previous year’s figure.
