Hamburg (euro adhoc) - 13 February 2012 - According to today´s reported results
for the first half of fiscal year 2011/2012 (July 1 to December 31, 2011)
Marseille-Kliniken AG increased its profitability significantly. The occupancy
rate increased to 88.6 percent (Q2 2010/2011: 86.9 percent). Therefore revenues
expanded to EUR 96.8 million (previous year: EUR 95.2 million) and EBIT
increased from EUR 3.2 million to EUR 5.0 million. "With these results we
continue the improvement of our profitability. The Company is on track for
reaching our guidance for full fiscal year 2011/2012." says Michael Thanheiser,
chairman of Marseille-Kliniken AG.
Since fiscal year 2010/2011 Marseille-Kliniken AG fosters growth by a strategy
mix which includes a focus on care for elderly, quality leadership and a
decentralised management structure. Moreover an initiative carried out to
optimise costs also played a role in supporting the company's economic recovery.
This trend continued in the results published today. With an increase of 2.0
percent to 88.6 percent, the occupancy rate exceeded the market average (88
percent).
Coincidently with the expansion of revenues, total expenses declined from EUR
96.0 million in previous year to EUR 94.2 million. Due to this EBITDAR increased
by 1.5 percent to EUR 26.9 million (previous year: EUR 26.5 million) and EBITDA
rose by 15.3 percent to EUR 8.3 million (previous year: EUR 7.2 million). Total
group earnings increased to EUR 4.1 million (previous year: EUR 0.3 million).
This results in EUR 0.27 earnings per share (previous year: EUR 0.02). Overall
Marseille-Kliniken AG operates a total of 60 care facilities across Germany,
with a sales capacity of 7,953 beds on 31 December 2011.
Against the backdrop of the half yearly results, Marseille-Kliniken AG confirms
its forecast for
full 2011/2012 financial year, which calls for a slight revenue increase and
Group EBIT of
EUR 10.0 million, well above the previous year's level. The corresponding report
for the first half of fiscal year 2011/2012 is available to the public today on
the company's website at www.marseille-kliniken.com.
