Bad Neustadt / Saale, 7th April 2017
A total of 813,747 patients were treated in the five RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG
hospitals in the financial year 2016. Corporate revenues stood at EUR 1.18
billion with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA) amounting to EUR 156.9 million. Without subsequent transaction
effects, i.e. after deducting dissolved provisions, however, EBITDA stood at
Euro 114.9 million only. Net consolidated profit was at Euro 58.6 million.
As of 31st December 2016 a total of 16,486 employees were working for the
company which is among the largest employers in the area of the respective
hospital.
"RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG must manage a difficult balancing act: we must and shall
increase profitability again and have thus already introduced initial
measures, such as uniform purchasing across all sites and clear work
assignments for the respective hospitals, which resulted directly from my
visits," CEO Holzinger stated. "We are now also concentrating on finalising
the successful completion of our campus project in Bad Neustadt as a
prototype for improved, state-of-the-art healthcare for people in rural
areas which in future will no longer be able to afford high-quality medical
care close to home due to demographic developments: We see this as an
opportunity for growth. We are now already creating the result along with
the corresponding skills; time is on our side." RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG is also
continuing to place a strong emphasis on the great opportunities offered by
digitalisation and the use of artificial intelligence in managing flow,
medical history and diagnostics for patients.
Medical director Prof. Dr. Bernd Griewing underlined the pioneering role of
RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG in using digital tools and intelligent IT systems: "Our
campus concept connects hitherto separate medical services in a unique
manner, ranging from out-patient services through to in-patient medical
treatment and up to and including follow-up care in the home. In future
intelligent IT systems will play a central role by providing assistance from
the time when the patient is admitted to the hospital to making a diagnosis
and prescribing an individual medical therapy programme, thereby raising the
quality of treatment and patient safety in our hospitals to new heights.
This modern digital approach is based on the process management revised in
our innovative campus project which is currently being implemented in the
new building in Bad Neustadt. This model is to be extended to other rural
areas in Germany in the medium to long term. We are currently carrying out a
thorough review of other potentially suitable regions."
Outlook for 2017
For the current financial year 2017 the company expects revenues of EUR 1.20
billion to EUR 1.23 billion. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) will be adversely affected in 2017 by external
regulatory burdens especially within the DRG framework, such as the
fixed-cost digression discount, the special discount on services with high
material costs and one-off effects. The new CEO is presently completing his
corporate analysis and introducing initial measures, after which it will be
possible to forecast an explicit income statement figure for financial year
2017, whereby the management currently assumes that the financial result
will be clearly lower in comparison with last year.
The Board of Management and Supervisory Board shall propose to this year's
Annual General Meeting on 7th June 2017 in Frankfurt the distribution of the
net consolidated profit in the form of a dividend in the amount of EUR 0.35
per non-par share to the shareholders. This corresponds to a dividend payout
ratio of approx. 40 percent. With this ratio RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG safeguards its
medium-term ability to make investments yet also allows its shareholders to
participate in the future success of the Company.
RHÖN‐KLINIKUM AG is one of the largest healthcare providers in Germany. At
five medical sites with a total of 5,300 beds we offer cutting-edge medical
care with a direct link to universities and research institutes. Our top
five key areas of treatment are cardiological and coronary disease,
neurological disorders, oncology, lung diseases as well as orthopedic and
accident surgery. A total of approx. 16,500 employees work for RHÖN-KLINIKUM
AG. Our facilities are located in Bad Berka, Bad Neustadt/Saale, Frankfurt
(Oder) and Giessen and Marburg.
