Q1 2023 Revenue

Korian delivered revenue of € 1,218 million in the first quarter of 2023, growing by 11.8%. Reported growth was supported by the acquisition of Grupo 5, but affected by the disposals last year notably in Germany. All regions showed dynamic organic growth:

  • France revenue reached € 534.8 million, with a reported growth of 5.7% and an organic growth of 4.5%, driven by tariff adjustments and by dynamic development of Community Care activity.
  • Germany achieved € 282.6 million of revenue, with 12.1% organic growth supported by tariff increase following the pass-through of higher salary costs (from September 2022). Reported growth of 4.9% was affected by disposal or closure of facilities during 2022.
  • Benelux region is particularly dynamic with 18.0% of organic growth reflecting a positive trend on occupancy rates in Belgium and continued ramp-up of new facilities in the Netherlands. Total revenue was € 180.6 million, showing a total growth of 17.9%.
  • Italy continued its dynamic growth with 19.0% reported growth reaching € 152.7 million of revenue reflecting recent acquisitions (notably Italian Hospital Group acquired in H1 2022), as well as a strong organic growth of 8.9% driven by full capacity of recent acquisitions and the continued development of outpatient activity.
  • In Spain and the United Kingdom, revenue was up 106.9% mainly reflecting the integration in January 2023 of the mental health operator Grupo 5. Solid organic growth of 7.1% is driven by both countries occupancy recovery and ramp-up of recent facilities.
