Key Result Highlights QoQ, 4Q14 revenue and EBITDA rose 9% and 38%, respectively. Revenue growth was driven by intensities in all its hospitals across Singapore, Malaysia and Turkey. Parkway Singapore hospitals’ inpatient admissions fell 2.8% QoQ while its revenue per inpatient admission increased 3.0% as a result of more complex cases undertaken by the hospitals and price increases to compensate for cost inflation. Meanwhile, inpatient admissions at Parkway Malaysia hospitals grew 3.2% QoQ and its revenue per inpatient admission grew 0.5%. The solid EBITDA growth was due to a RM52.7m revaluation gain arising from PLife REIT’s investment properties and a RM36.4m divestment gain from PLife REIT’s sale of seven Japanese nursing homes in Dec 2014. Excluding exceptional items, the Group’s PATAMI increased 38% to RM244.2m.
YoY FY14, revenue and EBITDA grew 9% and 17%, respectively, due to high patient volume and revenue intensity of existing operations and commencement of Acibadem Atakent Hospital and Pantai Hospital Manjung in 1Q and 2Q, respectively. EBITDA growth was driven by revenue and boosted by a RM52.7m revaluation gain arising from PLife REIT’s investment properties and a RM36.4m from its sale of 7 Japanese nursing homes in Dec 2014. This brings PATAMI excluding items to RM785m (29%).
