1Non audited values

In the first half of 2016, Luz Saúde consolidated operating revenues increased by 8.6% vis- à-vis 2015 H1, reaching €231.2 million, mainly driven by activity growth of 10.7% on the private healthcare segment.

EBITDA reached €28.0 million in 2016 H1 and EBITDA margin reached 12.1%, a 2.5 p.p. decrease vis-à-vis 2015 H1. This performance was mainly justified by the performance of Hospital Beatriz Ângelo, with a negative EBITDA margin in this period mainly due to the increase of the weight of consumables and drugs costs, and by the acquisition of Hospital da Luz - Guimarães and Hospital do Mar - Gaia (both under turnaround process) and by the entry of Hospital da Misericórdia de Évora (lower margin due to the type of partnership) in the consolidation perimeter.

The EBITDA margin reduction was reflected on the net income attributable to shareholders of €10.0 million, representing a 4.9% decline versus 2015 H1.

In 2016 H1, Luz Saúde consolidated CAPEX was €32.3 million, of which €27.5 million corresponded to expansion CAPEX, whether in geographic expansion, through the acquisition of Hospital da Luz -Guimarães and Hospital do Mar - Gaia, or in capacity increase in the current units, through the ongoing investment in Clínica de Oeiras expansion and in Hospital da Luz Lisboa expansion. The remainder €4.8 million corresponded to replacement and technological upgrade CAPEX, distributed across the Group's facilities, representing 2.1% of consolidated operating revenues.

At the end of the first six months of 2016, Luz Saúde consolidated net debt totaled €219.9 million, representing a €32.6 million increase from 2015 EOY (€1.0 million increase vis-à-vis the end of 2016 first quarter), mainly driven by investments in expansion during the first quarter and by an increase in working capital levels, mainly justified by an increase in receivables on the private segment. This increase combined with the evolution of EBITDA levels led to an increase of Net debt / EBITDA to 3.9 times, comparing to 3.1 in 2015 EOY.
