ORP Orpea SA

Regulatory News:

ORPEA SA (the "Company") (Paris:ORP) today announces its consolidated revenue for the 1st half of 2023.

While occupancy rates of retirement homes in France remained below expectations, the 2nd quarter of 2023 confirmed the trend observed in the 1st quarter of 2023, with growth of +11.1% vs. the same period last year. This is the result of an overall increase in occupancy rates, with the exception of France, an increase in installed capacity with the contribution of recently opened facilities, and the effects of price increases, which were particularly marked in Central Europe.

Overall, sales for the first half of 2023 totaled €2,539 million, corresponding to year-on-year growth of +10.7%, mostly organic.

As a reminder, and as indicated in the press release published on July 13th, the Company anticipates lower sales growth and a substantial lag in EBITDAR generation for the full year 2023, in the range of -15% to -20% compared with the EBITDAR forecast of €881 million set out in the November 2022 Updated Business Plan communicated to the market on May 12th, 2023 (i.e. EBITDAR 2023 of between €705 million and €750 million).

With regard to the financial restructuring process, the Company reminds that the Accelerated Safeguard Plan (“Plan de Sauvegarde Accélérée”), as approved by the Nanterre Specialized Commercial Court (link) on 24 July through a cross-class cram down, provides for the implementation of three capital increases, starting in the last quarter of 2023 and after the lifting of the last condition precedent1, which will result in a massive dilution for existing shareholders. After these operations, and in the absence of reinvestment, they would hold around 0.04% of the capital, with a theoretical share value of €0.02.

1. Q2 2023 revenue

Revenues reached €1,305 million in the 2nd quarter of 2023, a year-on-year increase of +11.1%, including organic growth of +8.8%.

Continuing from the 1st quarter of 2023, activity in the 2nd quarter is up in all geographical areas, thanks to average occupancy rates that are generally up and the contribution of facilities opened in the last 12 months.

2. H1 2023 revenue

For the first half of 2023, revenue amounted to €2,539 million, up +10.7% compared to the 1st half of 2022, of which +9.1% organically.

The overall level of activity in clinics both in France and internationally, as well as in retirement homes outside of France, is increasing. This evolution is illustrated at the global level, by an average occupancy rate up +136 bps compared to the 1st half of 2022, at 82.7%.

In the France Benelux UK Ireland area, revenue amounted to €1,489 million over the 1st semester, up +7.0% (including +5.2% on an organic basis) compared to the first half of the previous year.

In France, nursing home activity remains far from historical levels, with an average occupancy rate of 83.4% over the period as a whole, down on the same period last year (86.0%). Clinics (Medical and Rehabilitation Care, Mental Health), on the other hand, are experiencing an increase in activity levels, illustrating the diversity of activities and specialties developed within the facilities, in the various regions where the Group is active. Elsewhere in the region, Belgium benefited from the inclusion of 19 new facilities in its scope of consolidation, and business grew despite the closure of seven facilities in Brussels, while the Netherlands posted sustained growth thanks to the ramp-up of new facilities.

In Central Europe, sales rose by 13.9% (+12.9% organic) to €657 million over the half-year. Germany and Switzerland reported good activity momentum over the half-year, with occupancy rates up in both the retirement homes and clinics. In Germany, the good momentum also reflects the premium positioning on this market.

In Eastern Europe, sales rose by 19.2% to €250 million over the half-year, benefiting from a marked increase in the occupancy rate of facilities opened over the past 12 months.

In the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America region, sales came to €139 million for the first half, up 21.4%, mainly on an organic basis, reflecting a marked increase in occupancy rates in Spain, the region's main contributor.
