Danie Meintjes, CEO of Mediclinic International commented:

"All our platforms performed strongly, benefiting from a marked increase in the number of patients treated. We continue to invest for growth 
 across our businesses. The diversity of our geographic reach has resulted in more than 60% of our revenue and earnings now being generated
 in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates."

TRADING RESULTS

We are pleased to report that the Group has maintained its consistent growth pattern.

Group normalised revenue increased by 24% to R30 495m (2013: R24 587m) for the period under review. Normalised operating profit before interest, 
tax, depreciation and amortisation ("normalised EBITDA") was 23% higher at R6 467m (2013: R5 237m). The leveraging effect of the Group's capital
structure, together with the positive effects of the Group refinancing and acquisition of the minority interests in Mediclinic Middle East 
completed in October 2012, augmented the Group's financial performance and resulted in basic normalised headline earnings per share growth of 45%
to 377.1 cents (2013: 259.3 cents).

The Group's normalised EBITDA margin decreased from 21.3% to 21.2% for the period under review.

The current Group results included a number of one-off items which were excluded in determining normalised headline earnings. The one-off items are:

- a past-service cost credit of R241m (R192m after tax) arising in the main Hirslanden pension fund; and

- Swiss prior year tax and deferred tax adjustments amounting to R111m.

The comparative results included one-off charges of R3 215m (R2 946m after tax) relating to the refinancing of the Group's debt, a pre-acquisition
Swiss tariff provision charge of R151m (R115m after tax) and a past-service cost credit of R35m (R27m after tax) arising in one of the Group's 
pension funds.

Including these one-off items, headline earnings increased by 402% to R3 355m (2013: loss of R1 110m) and basic headline earnings per ordinary 
share increased by 377% to 414.6 cents (2013: loss of 149.5 cents).

This year, significant movements in the exchange rates had a material effect on the reported results. The average ZAR/Swiss franc (CHF) exchange 
rate was R11.05 compared to R9.05 for the comparative period and the average ZAR/UAE dirham (AED) exchange rate was R2.76 compared to R2.32 for
the comparative period.


Finance cost

Finance cost includes amortisation of capitalised financing expenses of R133m (2013: R89m).

The capitalised financing expenses are amortised over the terms of the relevant loans in line with future cash payments as prescribed in IAS 39 
Financial Instruments.


Cash flow

The Group's cash flow continued to be strong. The Group converted 98% (2013: 106%) of normalised EBITDA into cash generated from operations. 
Cash and cash equivalents increased from R2 705m at 31 March 2013 to R3 521m at 31 March 2014.


Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings increased from R26 362m at 31 March 2013 to R30 370m at 31 March 2014, mainly as a result of the change in the 
closing ZAR/CHF and ZAR/AED exchange rates. The closing ZAR/CHF exchange rate moved from R9.69 at 31 March 2013 to R11.96 at 31 March 2014 and 
the closing ZAR/AED exchange rate moved from R2.51 at 31 March 2013 to R2.88 at 31 March 2014. It is important to note that the 
foreign debt of the Group's Swiss and Middle Eastern operations, amounting to R24 528m, is matched with foreign assets in the same currencies. 
The foreign debt has no recourse to the Southern African operations' assets.


Assets

Property, equipment and vehicles increased from R40 137m at 31 March 2013 to R49 597m at 31 March 2014, and intangible assets increased from 
R7 279m at 31 March 2013 to R9 210m at 31 March 2014. These increases are mainly as a result of the change in the closing ZAR/CHF and the
ZAR/AED exchange rates, as mentioned above.


Restatement of comparative numbers

The impacts of the application of the revised IAS 19 standard and the new IFRS 11 standard are as follows:

- The revised IAS 19 standard deals with the accounting for defined benefit obligations and plan assets. Previously the net interest income on
  Hirslanden's plan assets was recognised in profit or loss based on the expected return on plan assets. The net interest rate on plan assets 
  is no longer calculated based on expected return but rather equal to the discount rate used for determining retirement benefit obligations.

- The new IFRS 11 standard deals with the accounting of joint ventures. Previously Wits University Donald Gordon Medical Centre (Pty) Ltd was
  proportionately consolidated whereas, under IFRS 11, the company is now equity accounted.

Refer to the 'Changes to accounting policy' note for details of the restated comparative numbers.


Normalised non-IFRS financial measures

The Group uses normalised revenue, normalised EBITDA, normalised headline earnings and normalised basic headline earnings per share as non-IFRS
measures in evaluating performance and as a method to provide shareholders with clear and consistent reporting. These non-IFRS measures are 
defined as reportable EBITDA, headline earnings and basic headline earnings per share in terms of accounting standards, excluding one-off items,
as detailed above.


OPERATIONS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

MEDICLINIC SOUTHERN AFRICA

Financial performance

Mediclinic Southern Africa's normalised revenue increased by 11% to R11 205m (2013: R10 059m) for the period under review. Normalised EBITDA was
12% higher at R2 418m (2013: R2 158m).

The Southern African operations contributed R984m (2013: R901m) to the normalised attributable income of the Group after:
- depreciation charges of R302m (2013: R277m);
- net finance charges of R403m (2013: R368m);
- income from joint venture of Rnil (2013: R3m);
- taxation of R528m (2013: R445m); and
- minority interest amounting to R201m (2013: R170m).


Business performance

The 11% revenue growth was driven by a 5.9% increase in bed-days sold and a 5.4% increase in the average income per bed-day. The number of
patients admitted increased by 3.6%, while the average length of stay increased by 2.3%.

The normalised EBITDA margin of the Southern African operations increased from 21.5% to 21.6%.

Mediclinic Southern Africa's cash flow continued to be strong as it converted 105% (2013: 112%) of normalised EBITDA into cash generated from 
operations.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from R1 305m at 31 March 2013 to R1 359m at 31 March 2014.

Interest-bearing borrowings increased from R5 809m at 31 March 2013 to R5 842m at 31 March 2014.


Projects and capital expenditure

During the year, the Southern African operations spent R577m (2013: R445m) on capital projects and new equipment to enhance its business and R308m
(2013: R249m) on the replacement of existing equipment. In addition, R289m (2013: R276m) was spent on the repair and maintenance of property and 
equipment, charged through the income statement. For the next financial year, R937m is budgeted for capital projects and new equipment to enhance 
its business, R302m for the replacement of existing equipment and R303m for repairs and maintenance. Incremental EBITDA resulting from capital 
projects in progress or approved is budgeted to amount to R52m and R58m in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

The number of beds increased from 7 436 to 7 614 during the period under review.

During the past year a number of building projects were completed at various hospitals, that created 178 additional beds as well as new consulting
rooms, and included the relocation of a hospital in Lephalale and a number of facility upgrades.

Building projects in progress, which should be completed during the next financial year, will add 279 additional beds. The establishment of the 
new Mediclinic Midstream (previously referred to as Mediclinic Centurion) (176 beds) is the most significant development.

The number of beds is expected to increase from 7 614 to 7 893 during the next 12 months.

Several building projects in progress should be completed during the 2016 financial year, which will create 43 additional beds.


Regulatory environment

Within the broader health sector context, the government maintains its commitment to achieve universal coverage through a National Health Insurance
(NHI) system. Mediclinic Southern Africa continues to support the underlying principle of universal coverage. A White Paper on the NHI is expected 
to be published during the year ahead and Mediclinic Southern Africa will continue to engage with both government and other relevant stakeholders
on the most appropriate design and mechanisms to pursue universal coverage within the South African context.


The Competition Commission is set to commence an inquiry into the private healthcare sector within the year. The Commission has published the
Terms of Reference for the inquiry and is finalising the administrative processes concerning the conduct of the inquiry.
                                   

OPERATIONS IN SWITZERLAND

HIRSLANDEN

Financial performance

Hirslanden's normalised revenue increased by 32% to R15 874m (2013: R12 043m) for the period under review. Normalised EBITDA was 28% higher at 
R3 297m (2013: R2 584m). In Swiss francs, normalised revenue increased by 8% to CHF 1 436m (2013: CHF1 330m) and normalised EBITDA increased by 5% 
to CHF299m (2013: CHF286m). 

Hirslanden contributed R1 350m (2013: R706m) to the attributable income of the Group after:
- depreciation charges of R801m (2013: R604m);
- net finance charges of R846m (2013: R1 006m); 
- normalised tax of R303m (2013: R270m); and
- income from associate of R3m (2013: R2m).

- depreciation charges of CHF73m (2013: CHF67m);
- net finance charges of CHF77m (2013: CHF111m);
- normalised tax of CHF27m (2013: CHF30m); and
- income from associate of CHFO.3m (2013: CHFO.2m).

Business performance

The 8% normalised revenue growth was driven by inpatient admissions increasing by 5.5%, at a constant average length of stay and the average 
revenue per case increased by 2.8%, mainly due to higher acuity levels.

The normalised EBITDA margin of Hirslanden decreased from 21.5% to 20.8% in line with expectations. 

Hirslanden converted 92% (2013: 97%) of normalised EBITDA into cash generated from operations.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from R536m (CHF55m) at 31 March 2013 to R1 138m (CHF95m) at 31 March 2014.

Interest-bearing borrowings reported in ZAR increased from R18 997m (CHF1 960m) at 31 March 2013 to R23 040m (CHF1 926m) at 31 March 2014, mainly 
due to the increase in the closing ZAR/CHF exchange rate.


Projects and capital expenditure

During the year Hirslanden invested R769m (CHF70m) (2013: R741m (CHF82m)) in capital projects and new equipment to enhance its
business and R558m (CHF51m) (2013: R498m (CHF55m)) on the replacement of existing equipment. In addition, R397m (CHF36m) (2013: R317m (CHF35m))
was spent on the repair and maintenance of property and equipment, charged through the income statement. For the next financial year CHF65m is 
budgeted for capital projects and new equipment, CHF75m for the replacement of existing equipment and CHF37m for repairs and maintenance. 
Incremental EBITDA resulting from capital projects in progress or approved is budgeted to amount to CHF6m and CHF14m in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

The number of inpatient beds increased from 1 487 to 1 567 during the period under review, mainly as a result of the opening of the new wing at
Klinik Hirslanden.

Building projects completed during the period under review were:

- The new wing at Klinik Hirslanden in Zurich formally opened during May 2013 and after a phased build-up is now fully operational.
- In August 2013 Klinik Stephanshorn completed the expansion of the intensive care unit and Klinik Beau-Site opened its health centre at the train 
  station in the capital city, Berne.
- An additional cardiac catheterisation laboratory opened in November 2014 at Klinik Beau Site.
- The Hirslanden Klinik radiotherapy department within Männedorf public hospital was commissioned recently.

The major ongoing expansion projects are as follows:

- Basel: Klinik Birshof is expanding its facilities to accommodate the group of orthopaedic doctors who joined the hospital. The project will
  include the fitting of five new patient rooms, expansion of the Accident and Emergency Department and equipping the Radiology Department with a
  3 Tesla MRI and a new CT scanner.
- Aarau: Klinik Aarau is expanding its patient accommodation ­ the private patient Privé Department is being enlarged with seven rooms and 
  two suites. The cardiology department is also being expanded to satisfy the requirements of the new cooperation with the Berne University Hospital.
- Schaffhausen: Klinik Belair is to open an outpatient health centre with a general practitioner and walk-in practice similar to the group's centre 
  recently opened in Berne.

The number of inpatient beds is expected to increase from 1 567 to 1 594 during the next financial year.


Regulatory environment

There has been extensive resistance to the planned concentration of highly specialised medicine, mostly due to the arbitrary fashion in which the
responsible planning body is pursuing the initiative. A number of Swiss hospitals, including Hirslanden, have challenged allocation decisions in 
the courts. To date all appeals lodged by Hirslanden were ruled in Hirslanden's favour.

The vote on the initiative for a public statutory health insurer is provisionally planned for the end of 2014. The intention is to replace the 
current system of competition between many different health insurers with one unified public health insurance fund. Swiss private hospitals, 
including Hirslanden, are campaigning against this initiative which, if adopted, would be a further step towards nationalising the system.


OPERATIONS IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

MEDICLINIC MIDDLE EAST

Middle East acquired the pathology laboratories at Mediclinic Welcare Hospital and Mediclinic Al Sufouh for a purchase consideration of AED95m
with effect from 1 October 2013. Incremental annualised EBITDA resulting from this investment is estimated to amount to AED19m.

For the next financial year, AED177m is budgeted for capital projects and new equipment to enhance the business in the longer term, AED15m for 
the replacement of existing equipment and AED20m for repairs and maintenance. EBITDA resulting from capital projects in progress or approved is
