Mediclinic Southern Africa Site Visit and Trading Update
Mediclinic International plc, a diversified private healthcare services group, will host a site visit
for analysts and institutional investors today in Cape Town, South Africa.
Koert Pretorius, Mediclinic Southern Africa’s CEO, will briefly present an overview of the
division, focusing on the following areas:
- delivery against the Mediclinic International Group strategic goals;
- continued improvements in clinical performance, patient experience, employee
engagement and B-BBEE scorecard;
- advancing the co-located day case clinic strategy;
- navigating the regulatory environment; and
- delivering incremental growth in Southern Africa.
Mediclinic Southern Africa has continued its good trading performance during the year and now
expects FY20 revenue growth of around 6.5%.
EBITDA margin guidance for FY20 remains unchanged. In line with the Group's strategic
objectives and a continued focus on improving clinical quality and patient experience, further
investment will be made in employees and information communication technology during FY20.
This, together with the expected lower margin contribution from Intercare and the ramp-up of
the new Mediclinic Stellenbosch facility, is anticipated to result in a pre-IFRS16 EBITDA margin
of around 20%.
No new material information will be provided during the event. Presentation material will be
made available online shortly after 07:00 GMT at https://ir.mediclinic.com/results-
