CEO Statement
We are continuing to follow our road map and are delivering according to plan. We are delivering strong organic growth and have much more than offset the loss of Covid-19 revenue and as we now move forward, Covid-19 will be absent in our comparative numbers.
Revenue for the quarter continued to grow strongly and was up 19.5% to €440.5m (€368.6m), with an organic growth of 14.9%. This is particularly noteworthy, as we have not only replaced prior year Covid-19 testing revenue, but also additionally replaced all revenue from the disposed business in Belarus.
After now 6 quarters of reducing profits compared with the prior year quarter, following the unwinding of Covid-19 related contribution, it is pleasing to see, as expected, that we are now back to increasing the main profit measures versus the prior year comparative quarters.
EBITDA was €64.8m (€48.8m), an increase by 32.6%, representing an EBITDA margin of 14.7% (13.3%).
Fee-For-Service and other services (FFS) increased by 17.4% in the quarter, now representing 57% of total revenue.
Healthcare Services revenue grew very strongly by 32.2% to €304.7m (€230.5m), with an organic growth of 21.9%. Members grew to 1.7 million with 13 thousand new members over the quarter, the growth rate has slowed down partly due to a slightly slower employment market and also our focus on price growth. FFS was 54% of divisional revenue.
EBITDA grew by an impressive 44.2% to €46.6m (€32.3m), an EBITDA margin of 15.3% (14.0%). This despite new units and the hospital in Bucharest impacting profitability negatively. Margin in Medicover Hospitals India has improved by just short of 100 basis points versus the prior year quarter and is for the quarter accretive to divisional EBITDA margin, however not for the year-to-date period.
Diagnostic Services revenue amounted to €140.9m (€142.7m), a decrease by 1.2%, with an organic growth of 3.5%. While the reported revenue is a slight reduction, organic growth excluding Covid-19 related revenue was up a very healthy 14.7%. 29.4 million tests were performed in the quarter (29.0 million). FFS was 67% of divisional revenue.
EBITDA amounted to €20.9m (€22.6m), a decrease of 7.7%, an EBITDA margin of 14.8% (15.9%). Underlying EBITDA demonstrated strong organic development, but not yet completely replacing the higher Covid-19 contribution.
The recent parliamentary election in Poland saw the highest ever voter turnout since the fall of communism in 1989, very well illustrating the importance of the outcome for the future direction of Poland.
We continue our path towards reaching the new medium-term financial targets for the period 2023-2025, that were communicated earlier this year. As these strong figures demonstrate we are well on our way to achieve them. By year-end 2025:
- Organic revenue should exceed €2.2bn
- An adjusted organic EBITDA in excess of €350m
- Loans payable net of cash and liquid short-term investments/adjusted EBITDAaL ≤3.5x
