Cegedim: Strong commercial momentum and accelerated
investments in the first half of 2022
- Revenue of €267.6
million and like-for-like growth of 6.1%
- Recurring operating
income(1) down 39.7% to €6.8 million
- 2022 revenue outlook
confirmed, recurring operating income outlook adjusted
Boulogne-Billancourt, France, September 20, 2022, after
the market close
Cegedim generated
consolidated H1 revenues of €267.6 million in 2022, an increase of
6.5% as reported and 6.1% like for
like(1)
compared with the same period a year ago, and recurring
operating income(1) fell 39.7% to
€6.8 million. Recurring operating margin came to 2.5% in H1 2022,
compared with 4.5% a year earlier. As a result, the consolidated
net profit attributable to the owners of the parent came to a €4.9
million loss compared with a profit of €6.5 million in June
2021.
Laurent Labrune, Deputy Managing Director of
Cegedim , said: “Sales rose strongly in the first half of 2022,
building on last year’s momentum. All of our operating divisions
contributed to the growth, with some posting growth in the double
digits.
To accelerate its ongoing project development,
the Group has added R&D and sales staff. Furthermore, it will
be a year before wage increases are passed on to clients, as the
vast majority of Group contracts stipulate annual price indexing.
The lag time will hamper margins in 2022, most notably at the
Software & Services division. Despite the temporary disruption,
the Flow, Data & marketing and BPO divisions all posted
recurring operating income growth and improved their margins.
Cegedim is in a great position to seize
opportunities in its markets and is confident in its outlook for
the second half of the year.”

Analysis of business trends by division
The Software & Services
division posted like-for-like revenue growth of 3.0% in the first
half of 2022. Recurring operating income fell by €9.6 million.
Revenue: All of the division’s
activities turned in solid performances with the exception of the
healthcare professional computerization business in the UK, where
revenue declined, as expected.
Recurring operating
income(1) was hurt by increased
hiring for sales teams assigned to Cegedim Santé’s latest offerings
and for development teams working on innovations and who do not
meet the criteria for capitalized costs.
The Flux division posted
like-for-like revenue growth of 8.2% in the first half of 2022.
Recurring operating income increased by 43.8%.
Revenue: The process
digitalization and digital data flow business experienced strong
growth in France. The clear recovery seen in Germany and the UK in
the first quarter continued in the second. The healthcare flow
business related to healthcare reimbursements in France also grew
over the first half.
Recurring operating
income(1):
Healthcare flow and Cegedim e-business’ international activities
made the biggest contributions to this growth.
The Data & marketing
division posted like-for-like revenue growth of 11.8% in the first
half of 2022. Recurring operating income increased by
14.9%.
Revenue: Data and digital
communication solutions for French pharmacies still have good
momentum.
Recurring operating
income(1): Digital advertising in French
pharmacies had a very positive impact on recurring operating
income(1).
--------------------(1) Alternative performance
indicator, for a definition and reconciliation of these figures,
see point 3.6, note 2 of the 2022 Interim Financial Report.
The BPO division posted
like-for-like revenue growth of 10.8% in the first half of 2022.
Recurring operating income(1) rose €2.7 million to a profit of €1.0
million.
Revenue: The business of
providing services for insurance companies and mutual insurance
providers was stable in the first quarter and posted double-digit
growth in the second quarter. Growth in BPO services for HR
departments –already in double digits in Q1—ramped up in the second
quarter.
Recurring operating
income(1): Growing revenues and improving
processes helped significantly boost recurring operating income(1),
and the division posted a profit, compared with a loss a year ago.
The business of managing services for insurance companies and
mutual insurance providers, and the business of providing BPO
services to HR departments both contributed to the improvement.
Revenues fell 11.2% to €1.3 million, and
recurring operating income(1) was a profit of €1.0 million, down
19.9% compared with a year earlier.
Highlights
Apart from the items cited below, to the best of
the company’s knowledge. there were no events or changes during H1
2022 that would materially alter the Group’s financial
situation.
The Group does not do business in Russia or
Ukraine and has no assets exposed to those countries.

Investment and strategic partnership between Cegedim and 3
social protection companies
On May 16, 2022, Cegedim Group and social
protection companies Malakoff Humanis, Groupe VYV, and PRO BTP
Groupe announced that they had finalized the strategic partnership
they began negotiating on March 1, 2022.
This strategic partnership will advance the
goals laid out by the French government in its Ma Santé 2022 plan.
The partnership will draw on the recognized expertise of Cegedim,
Malakoff Humanis, Groupe VYV, and PRO BTP, who all share the goal
of improving patients’ access to care and making the course of care
as smooth as possible.
To this end, Malakoff Humanis, Groupe VYV, and
PRO BTP Groupe—who together represent 25 million beneficiaries in
France—subscribed a reserved capital increase of €65 million on May
24, 2022, and now own 18% of the shares of Cegedim Santé. The deal
values Cegedim Santé at €360.9 million. As part of the deal,
Cegedim Santé acquired Groupe VYV subsidiary MesDocteurs, a
telehealth solution pioneer and one of the originators of 24/7
telemedicine.
On June 21, 2022, Cegedim SRH acquired Laponi,
an innovative solution for managing absenteeism in real time.
Laponi, a French startup founded in 2016, has successfully
developed a digital SaaS platform that lets companies ask internal
and external employees to cover shifts when someone is absent. The
Laponi solution is easy to use and alerts employees in real time
about available assignments. Employees are then free to choose
assignments while boosting their income. The acquisition enhances
Cegedim SRH’s TeamsRH HRIS platform.
An integral part of Cegedim SRH’s portfolio,
Laponi will be able to help solve absenteeism issues at the
company’s 400 clients, and its solution will benefit from Cegedim
SRH’s technical and financial resources as well as its sales
force.
Laponi is profitable.
On February 21, 2018, Cegedim S.A. received
official notice that the French tax authorities planned to perform
an audit of its financial statements for the period from January 1,
2015, to December 31, 2016. After consultation with its lawyers and
based on ample precedent. the Group believes that the adjustment is
unwarranted and continues to explore its options to appeal the
decision.
--------------------(1) Alternative performance
indicator, for a definition and reconciliation of these figures,
see point 3.6, note 2 of the 2022 Interim Financial Report.
As part of this process, in the first half of
2022 Cegedim S.A. received a notice of collection and paid a total
of €12.1 million in respect of tax losses used through 2020 and a
€0.3 million late payment penalty. The corresponding entry for
these payments is not the taxes line of the income statement, but
rather the deferred tax assets line of the balance sheet, as we
expect these sums to be repaid once the dispute has been resolved.
Furthermore, the Group continues to record the disputed tax losses
as an asset equal to €20 million in deferred tax assets on the
balance sheet.
Cegedim faces a maximum risk of €20.5 million at
June 30, 2022, as a result of the dispute, of which €12.1 million
has already been paid. Cegedim believes that there is little risk
with respect to this amount or to the €20 million of deferred tax
assets and sees no reason to call their valuation into
question.
On October 21, 2021, Cegedim S.A. received
official notice that the French tax authorities planned to perform
an audit of its financial statements for the period from January 1,
2019, to December 31, 2020. The audit is currently underway.
Significant transactions and events post June 30,
2022
Apart from the items cited below. to the best of
the company’s knowledge. there were no events or changes after June
30, 2022, that would materially alter the Group’s financial
situation.
A dividend of c.€6,830,000 (i.e. €0.5 per share)
in respect of fiscal year 2021 was approved at the General
Shareholders’ Meeting on June 17, 2022, and paid in July 2022.
On July 19, 2022, Cegedim e-business rounded out
its Hospitalis offering by acquiring Sedia, which has specialized
in software that tracks medical instrumentation usage since 1985.
Thanks to this acquisition, Hospitalis now offers a medical device
and implantable medical device (MD/IMD) tracking service. The
service is responsible for 900,000 scans annually and has tracked
more than 8 million IMDs. The newest component in the Hospitalis
range, Sedia offers health, financial, and logistical tracking of
MD/IMDs that are on consignment or have been lent or purchased
outright.
Sedia is profitable and will begin contributing
to the Group’s consolidation scope on August 1, 2022.
In July 2022, Cegedim acquired a 70% majority
stake in Clinigrid, which owns 100% of Cinityx. Clinigrid
specializes in innovative data valorization models, and Clinityx
has unique expertise in real world data and matching them to the
SNDS (the French administrative healthcare database).
Outlook
Cegedim still expects like-for-like revenue
growth(1) of c.5% in 2022. Considering current economic conditions
and the lag between the increase in prices and in wages on the one
hand, and R&D investments and sales force recruitment on the
other, the percentage decline in 2022 recurring operating income(1)
is not expected to exceed the decline in the first half.
The Group does not expect to make any
significant acquisitions in 2022. And lastly, the Group does not
provide earnings estimates or forecasts.
