Quality of medical outcomes and profit results substantially increased
The third quarter of 2012 has shown an increase of 17.5% in patient numbers, to more than 1,488,000 patients, in comparison to last year. Turnover increased by 21.6% (of which 2.9% were attributable to organic growth) to EUR 2,228m (Q3/2011: EUR 1,833m), for the first time showing the year-round impact of the newly acquired MediClin AG clinics. Despite the nationwide trend of increasing remuneration, as well as the sustained pressure of the cost of additional hospital services, the operating result (EBITDAR) has risen by 34.9% to now more than EUR 235.3m, representing a margin increase of 1.1 percentage points to the current 10.6%.
