Commentary
Overview
The Group performed well during the first six months of 2015. Southern Africa experienced good activity growth, has a solid pipeline of beds with which to
grow the business whilst maintaining EBITDA margins. The Group continued to deliver on its international expansion plans, investing nearly R2 billion in
increasing its shareholding in Max and through two acquisitions in Poland. Revenue and EBITDA continued to show good growth in both the Indian and Polish
operations. Normalised earnings per share from continued operations, excluding funding costs for international acquisitions increased by 10.4%. Headline
earnings per share (HEPS) decreased by 2.9% primarily due to the impact of the increased funding costs.
In southern Africa, activities as measured by hospital paid patient days (PPDs) increased by 3.5% (2014: 2.7%) and an additional 90 beds (2014: 142) have
been added to the business. These additional beds comprise the acquisition of the 14 bed Genesis Clinic and brownfield expansion of 76 beds. Southern
Africa's average occupancy for the period was 70.7% (2014: 70.6%). Occupancies, in southern Africa, continue to remain high in the intensive and high care
units at 74.8% (2014: 75.3%) and in the mental health and acute rehabilitation units at 74.8% (2014: 74.9%). Driving efficiency improvement remains a key
strategy for the Group and margins remained stable during the period despite pressures from the depreciating rand, salaries and overheads. Life Healthcare
continued to improve on its quality metrics as evidenced by an improvement in both clinical outcomes and hospital associated infection rates. The
recruitment of specialised nurses from India continues. This programme complements the local nurse training programme which currently has over 1 300
nurses in training.
The Group concluded the Max equalisation during November 2014 for R1.3 billion and now owns 46.25%. Max grew revenue by 21.8% for the period to March 2015
compared to the prior period and increased the number of operational beds to 1 754 (2014: 1 571). EBITDA margins for the period continued to improve to
10.3%, from 8.3% for the comparative period, due to the higher occupancies and efficiency initiatives. The Group's total investment in Max is R2.2
billion.
In Poland the Group continued to execute on its strategy of establishing a comprehensive countrywide network of facilities. The Group acquired 100% of
Sport Klinika, a 46 bed orthopaedic centre, and Kliniki Kardiologii Allenort which has six inpatient cardiology centres. These acquisitions have
contributed to improved EBITDA margins. The Scanmed Group now consists of 294 beds, six inpatient cardiology centres and 29 medical centres. The Group's
total investment (including advances capitalised) in the business is now R1.3 billion.
Competition Commission Market Inquiry
Life Healthcare has made a detailed submission on the subject matter of the Inquiry and submitted a further response to the public submissions as
requested by the Panel. This is a large and complex inquiry and the Commission has requested further information. The scheduled public hearings have been
delayed until all the data has been reviewed and the Competition Commission is due to publish a new timetable of events.
Financial performance
Group revenue, increased by 14.1% to R7 089 million (2014: R6 211 million) consisting of a R355 million revenue contribution from Scanmed and an 8.4%
increase in southern African revenue to R6 734 million (2014: R6 211 million). The southern Africa Hospital division revenue increased by 9.5% to R6 317
million (2014: R5 769 million) driven by a 3.5% increase in PPDs and a higher revenue per PPD of 6.2%, made up of a pricing increase of 6.3%
and a negative case mix change of 0.1%. Healthcare Services revenue decreased by 5.4% to R417 million (2014: R441 million) due to the return of the
Matikwana hospital to the public sector as at 31 March 2014.
Revenue on a continuing basis (including revenue from Scanmed in Poland) increased by 15.2% to R7 089 million (2014: R6 153 million).
Normalised EBITDA1 increased by 10.8% to R1 926 million (2014: R1 738 million). Normalised EBITDA on a continuing basis increased by 11.5% to R1 926
million (2014: R1 728 million). The EBITDA contribution from Scanmed was R42 million. The Group continues to focus on driving efficiencies across the
business. The alternative reimbursement model (ARM) together with higher occupancies and cost of sales management allowed the Group to maintain EBITDA
margins despite cost pressures from the depreciating rand, salary and overhead pressures.
1 Life Healthcare defines normalised EBITDA as operating profit plus depreciation, amortisation of intangible assets, impairment of property, plant and
equipment as well as excluding profit/loss on disposal of businesses, movement on foreign exchange hedge contracts, transaction costs and
surpluses/deficits on retirement benefits.

2 Discontinued operations are businesses that, for comparative purposes, are disclosed separately due to being included for part of a period. The
businesses were disposed/closed during the prior period and include Matikwana Hospital where the contract with the government came to an end in March
2014.
In the last 12 months the Group increased its gearing to fund the investments in Poland and Max as well as to raise debt to fund its capital expenditure
programme. The increased funding resulted in an increased interest cost of R228 million (2014: R106 million).
Capital expenditure
During the current financial period, Life Healthcare invested R2 310 million (2014: R343 million) comprising mainly of capital projects of R369 million,
R1.3 billion for the equalisation of Max and R567 million in expanding the Scanmed business. The Group's total cash flow commitment (excluding investment
opportunities) for the 2015 financial year is R1.2 billion. This investment in the Group's facilities ensures that the demand for services is met and the
Group remains abreast of modern technology and standards.
Financial position
The Group is in a strong financial position. Net debt to normalised EBITDA as at 31 March 2015 was 1.52 times (2014: 0.62 times). The increase in debt is
primarily due to the R1.3 billion investment into Max and the R567 million spent on acquisitions in Poland. The bank covenant for net debt to EBITDA is
2.75 times. The current gearing level provides the Group with the financial flexibility to continue to invest locally and internationally.
HEPS and normalised earnings per share
HEPS decreased by 2.9% to 80.3 cps (2014: 82.7 cps) primarily due to the impact of the increased funding cost. Earnings per share on a normalised basis,
which excludes non-trading related items listed below and the effect of disposed/closed businesses, increased by 2.7% to 80.2 cps (2014: 78.1 cps).
Normalised EPS from continued operations (excluding international funding costs) increased by 10.4% to 88.9 cps (2014: 80.5 cps).

Cash dividend declaration
The directors approved an interim gross cash dividend of 68 cents per ordinary share (2014: 63 cents per ordinary share) for the six months ending
31 March 2015. The dividend has been declared from income reserves. The total interim dividend amounting to R708 702 630 will be subject to dividend
withholding tax at a rate of 15%, which will result in a net dividend of 57.80000 cents per share to those shareholders who are not exempt in terms of
section 64F of the Income Tax Act.
The Company's tax reference number is 9387/307/15/1. The issued share capital at the declaration date is 1 042 209 750 ordinary shares. In compliance
with the requirements of the JSE Limited, the following dates are applicable:

Changes to board of directors and other committees
FA du Plessis retired from the board, audit and the social, ethics and transformation committees with effect from 28 January 2015 at the annual general
meeting. GC Solomon and JK Netshitenzhe were respectively appointed to the audit committee and the social, ethics and transformation committee with effect
from 29 January 2015.
Outlook and trading statement
The Group will continue to focus on its growth objectives in southern Africa, India and Poland. Over 170 new beds will be added in southern Africa in the
next six months through 80 brownfield expansion beds and the addition of the 94 bed Life Hilton Private Hospital.
The Group's proposed acquisition of the 50 bed Lowveld Hospital has been terminated as per the seller's wishes, due to the slow approval process of the
Competition authorities.
Max will continue to grow revenue and improve EBITDA margins and is well positioned to take advantage of the rapidly developing private healthcare sector
in India, leveraging off the existing base and growing by brownfield expansions, greenfield projects and through acquisitions.
In Poland the Group will continue to execute on its strategy of establishing a comprehensive network of facilities through the integration of the existing
businesses, positioning the business to maximise growth in new national health contracts in 2016 and through exploring new acquisition opportunities.
In southern Africa, the pressure on costs will remain in light of the weakening of the rand exchange rate, wage expectations and other overhead costs but
the Group will continue to focus on efficiency programmes to lessen the impact.
The quality management programme of the Group is a comprehensive, consistently applied and measured programme which benchmarks clinical interventions
against international best practice with the aim of enhancing patient outcomes. In addition Life Healthcare recognises the shortage of healthcare skills
and will continue to invest heavily in the training of doctors, nurses and pharmacists. The Competition Commission Market Inquiry into the healthcare
sector will continue during the remainder of 2015.
Life Healthcare's results for the full financial year ended 30 September 2015 are expected to show a deterioration in earnings per share of between 66.9
and 120.4 cents per share or between 25% and 45% from that reported for the financial year ended 30 September 2014. This decrease is largely due to the
profit arising on Life Healthcare's disinvestment of its 49.3% shareholding in JMH in February 2014, the proceeds from which were used to distribute a
dividend in March 2014.
A detailed trading statement will be released early October 2015.
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group's external auditors.
Thanks
The contribution of the doctors, nurses and other employees of Life Healthcare has greatly enhanced the quality of our performance. We thank them for
their contributions.
