quarterly report
Subtitle: - EBIT development furthermore continued
- Revenues increased to EUR 50.0 million
- Continuous increase in occupancy rate to currently 90.6 percent
Hamburg, Germany (euro adhoc) - 07 November 2012 - Marseille-Kliniken AG could
further increase its earning potential in the first three months of the current
business year 2012/2013 (01 July 2012 until 30 September 2012). Another
improvement of the occupancy rate to 90.6% (Q1 2011/2012: 88.5%) contributed to
an increase in revenues by 3.7% to EUR 50.0 million (previous year: EUR 48.2
million). As expenditures in areas not directly belonging to care business could
be slightly reduced despite the increased revenues, EBIT amounted to EUR 4.3
million. This means a significant profit improvement against EUR 3.0 million in
the previous year. "We are very pleased with the current development. Anyhow our
core business with the segments inpatient and outpatient care still shows
vacancies of approximately 9%. At this point we see relevant potential which
could not be achieved today, among others because of the general skills shortage
in the nursing care sector", comments Michael Thanheiser, chairman of
Marseille-Kliniken AG.
Marseille-Kliniken AG has built the basis for this continuing upward trend
already in business year 2010/2011 by the implementation of a strategy mix
consisting of focusing on care for the elderly, strengthening of quality
leadership and introduction of a decentralised management structure. This
tendency was confirmed by the currently published quarterly results. Net income
increased to EUR 3.2 million (previous year: EUR 1.5 million), among others
affected by an improved financial result.
Marseille-Kliniken AG sees this result as confirmation of its planning for the
further operational development within the current business year 2012/2013. The
company still expects revenues slightly above previous year's level and an
increase in EBIT.
The complete report on the first three months of business year 2012/2013 such as
additional shareholders' information is available for the public in the investor
relations section on the company's website at www.marseille-kliniken.com.
