Boulogne-Billancourt, France, March 20, 2018 after the market close

Cegedim, an innovative technology and services company, posted consolidated FY 2017 revenues from continuing activities of €457.4 million, up 6.6% on a reported basis and 5.9% like for like compared with the same period in 2016. EBITDA came to €77.5 million in 2017, up 35.0% year on year. EBITDA margin improved significantly to 16.9% in 2017, compared with 13.4% a year earlier.

2017 represents another positive milestone in the Group's transformation. The revamp of its business model continues, capacity for innovation has been bolstered and the organizational structure has been adjusted to make it even more agile. The disposal of Cegelease end-February 2018, completes the refocus initiated in 2015. 2017 results reflect the combined impact of good sales momentum and improved profitability.

Both operating divisions saw like-for-like revenue growth. Health Insurance, HR and e-services division revenues rose by 8.5% and Healthcare professionals division revenues increased by 1.4%.

EBITDA growth is mainly due to the significant recovery posted by the Healthcare professionals division, itself mostly due to a favorable base effect

Consolidated revenues from continuing activities for 2017 amounted to €457.4 million, a 6.6% increase as reported. Excluding an unfavorable currency translation effect of 0.9% and a 1.6% boost from acquisitions, revenues rose 5.9%.

Both of the divisions grew their like-for-like revenues. Health insurance, HR and e-services division revenues rose by 8.5%, and Healthcare professionals division revenues rose by 1.4%.

EBITDA increased significantly by €20.1 million, or 35.06%, to €77.5 million. The margin also rose, to 16.9% from 13.4% in 2016. The EBITDA performance was chiefly the result of lower purchased used and stable external expenses combined with a lower increase of personnel costs compare to revenue increase.

Depreciation and amortization costs rose €14.3 million to €40.1 million in 2017 compared with €34.3 million in 2016. Most of the increase was due to the €4.2 million increase in the amortization of R&D expenses over the period.

EBIT from recurring operations rose €14.3 million, or 61.8%, to €37.4 million. The margin improved to 8.2% in 2017 from 5.4% in 2016.

Exceptional items amounted to a charge of €18.9 million compared with a charge of €24.1 million in 2016. This decrease is chiefly due to the €3.1 million decline in restructuring costs over the period, to the fact that in 2017 there was no fine relating to the former activity sold in 2007, partially offset by a €1.8 million increase in the allowance for legacy software in the United States and France.

Net cost of financial debt fell by €19.3 million, or 74.1%, to €6.7 million compared with €26.0 million in 2016. The decline reflects the positive impact of refinancing carried out in the first half of 2016.

Tax costs came to a charge of €4.7 million compared with a €2.3 million charge in 2016. The increase was chiefly due to an increase of €2.5 million at income taxes.

Thus, the profit attributable to the owners of the parent came to a profit of €11.1 million compared to a loss of €26.7 million in 2016. The consolidated net result from continuing activities came to a profit of €7.1 million compared with a loss of €29.5 million in 2016. Net profit before special items came to €0.9 profit per share compared with a €1.5 loss a year earlier. Earnings per share were a €0.8 profit compared with a €1.9 loss in 2016.

  • Health insurance, HR and e-services

The division's 2017 revenues came to €291.1 million, up 10.9% on a reported basis. The November 2016 Futuramedia acquisition in France made a positive contribution of 2.6%. Currency translation had a negative impact of 0.2%. Like-for-like revenues rose 8.5% over the period. The division represented 63.6% of consolidated revenues from continuing activities, compared with 61.1% over the same period a year earlier.EBITDA rose in 2017, up 9.5%, to €48.1 million, compared with €43.9 million in 2016. EBITDA margin was 16.5% in 17, a decrease of 0.2 point compared with 2016.

The businesses that made the biggest contributions to this growth in revenue and EBITDA were C-MEDIA, merger of RNP and Futuramedia (ad at point of sales in pharmacies and health & wellness shops), Cegedim SRH (HR management solutions), Cegedim e-business (digitalization and data exchange), sales statistics for pharmaceutical products, and - in the field of health insurance - third-party payment flow management. EBITDA growth was partly offset by the health insurance software and services businesses' switch to SaaS format and by the launch of BPO offerings.

  • Healthcare professionals

The division's 2017 revenues came to €162.5 million, down 0.7% on a reported basis. Currencies had a negative impact of 2.2%. There was virtually no impact from acquisitions or divestments. Like-for-like revenues rose 1.4% over the period.The division represented 35.5% of consolidated Group revenues from continuing activities, compared with 38.1% over the same period a year earlier.EBITDA grew significantly by €95.4%, to €25.04 million, compared with €12.8 million in 2016. EBITDA margin was 15.4%, up 7.6 points compared with 2016.

The slight revenue growth combined with the sharp increase in EBITDA reflect the positive base effect on the computerization of doctors in the United States, Belgium and France, and of pharmacists in France. After a rather mixed start to the year, business in the United Kingdom saw a return to fourth quarter revenue growth rates.

  • Corporate and others

The division's 2017 revenues came to €3.9 million, up 17.2% on a reported basis and like for like. There was no currency impact and no acquisitions or divestments. The division represented 0.8% of consolidated revenues from continuing activities in 2017 and 2016.EBITDA increased significantly by €3.7 million, to €4.4 million compared with a €00.7 million in 2016.The positive EBITDA trend was principally due to a favorable base effect.

Financial resources

Acquisition goodwill represented €167.8 million at December 3, 2017 compared with €199.0 million at end-2016. The €31.2 million decrease, equal to 15.7%, was mainly attributable to the classification as assets held for sale of €28.3 million in acquisition goodwill linked to the disposal of Cegelease and Eurofarmat. Acquisition goodwill represented 22.5% of the total balance sheet at December 31, 2017, compared with 28.1% on December 31, 2016.

Cash and equivalents decreased by €2.1 million to €18.7 million at December 31, 2017. This drop was principally due to the classification as assets held for sale of €5.2 million in cash linked to the sale of Cegelease.

Shareholders' equity rose €8.4 million to €197.3 million at December 31, 2017. This trend reflects the results of the €11.1 million net earnings profit attributable to owners of the parent partially offset by a €2.6 million decrease in group exchange gain/losses. Shareholders' equity represented 26.4% of the total balance sheet at end-December 2017, compared with 26.6% at end-December 2016.

Net financial debt amounted to €236.2 million at end-December 2017, up €9.3 million compared with end-December 2016. It represented 119.7% of Group shareholders' equity at December 31, 2017, compared with 120.1% at December 31, 2016.

Free cash flow from operation came to an inflow of €13.4 million compared with an outflow of €2.4 million. This €15.8 million euros increase came mainly from an increase from cash-flow before taxes and interest and a decrease in corporate tax paid partially offset by an increase in working capital requirement.

Outlook

  • Cautiously optimistic for 2018

With a position in structurally buoyant markets and its strategic refocus complete, Cegedim boasts solid fundamentals, a balanced portfolio of complementary offerings, a diversified client-base, a widespread geographic footprint and the strength of an integrated group. This should enable it to continue its growth momentum and reach a new stage in its development, so it can deliver lasting, profitable growth.

To continue the initiatives it successfully implemented in 2017, Cegedim will maintain a strategy primarily focused on organic growth and driven by a robust innovation policy.

The Group is cautiously optimistic for 2018 and expects moderate organic revenue growth and a similar increase in EBITDA.

In 2018, the Group does not expect any significant acquisitions and is not issuing any earnings estimates or forecasts.

  • Potential impact of Brexit

In 2017, the UK accounted for 10.9% of consolidated Group revenues from continuing activities and 14.0% of consolidated Group EBIT.

Cegedim deals in local currency in the UK, as it does in every country where it is present. Thus Brexit is unlikely to have a material impact on Group EBIT.

With regard to healthcare policy, the Group has not identified any major European programs at work in the UK and expects UK policy to be only marginally affected by Brexit.

The figures cited above include guidance on Cegedim's future financial performances. This forward-looking information is based on the opinions and assumptions of the Group's senior management at the time this press release is issued and naturally entails risks and uncertainty.

Revenue on a like-for-like basis: The effect of changes in scope is corrected by restating the sales for the previous period as follows: by removing the portion of sales originating in the entity or the rights acquired for a period identical to the period during which they were held to the current period; similarly, when an entity is transferred, the sales for the portion in question in the previous period are eliminated.
