Looking forward, we remain committed to building and growing our integrated healthcare platform to provide world-class, quality healthcare services to patients in China.”

 

Ms. Roberta Lipson, Chief Executive Officer of NFH and founder of UFH, commented, “A number of operating achievements helped drive our growth this quarter. Revenue in operating assets continued to grow based on ever-wider recognition of our brand and consumers’ continued confidence in our services, as well as continued expansion of service lines. We moved our original Shanghai Puxi hospital to its new, larger quarters at the end of the year, tripling the capacity of the hospital in a newer and more attractive space. Our Tier 2 Operating Assets also experience strong growth and our expansion assets continued to ramp up as well.”

 

“As we began 2020, the coronavirus outbreak in China had an impact on China as a whole and on our operations,” she continued. “Looking beyond the outbreak, we see many opportunities to grow our business. As we continue to deliver premium, high-quality services, we are focused on growing our business and shareholder value by driving patient volume, promoting growth within our practice verticals, and growing our network.”

Total UFH   566,337    8,849    632,664    10,805    11.7%   22.1%

 

(1)Tier 1 Operating Assets:: The increase in outpatient volume was driven by several key departments including family medicine, demonstrating Chinese patients’ continued acceptance of the family medicine and primary care, a cornerstone of UFH’s clinical philosophy. Inpatient volume was driven by partially by growth in paediatrics and orthopaedics.
(2)Tier 2 Operating and Other Assets: The strong growth of outpatient volume was due to the ramp up of current service lines and newly added specialties, including ophthalmology, dermatology and hydrotherapy. The increase of both inpatient admissions and bed utilization was driven by pediatrics, neurorehabilitation, and other specialties.
(3)Expansion Assets: Shanghai Pudong Hospital (“PDU”) and Guangzhou United Family Hospital (“GZU”) saw fast ramp-up in both outpatient and inpatient volume across all specialties. Furthermore, both hospitals have also made early progress in developing higher acuity / complex specialties, including internal medicine, emergency services, and orthopaedics, during 2019. Hospitals in the Expansion Assets group have started executing a number of more complex surgeries such as breast cancer surgery, complicated endoscopic gastrointestinal surgery, intestinal massive tumor removal, kidney surgery, thyroid cancer surgery, knee and shoulder joint arthroscopies.

Total(6)   639.7    2,449.2    13.9%   19.0%

  

(1)BJU: Revenue of Beijing United Family Hospital (“BJU”) and its associated clinics grew 11.5% yoy in 2019 compared to 2018. BJU’s strong revenue growth in 2019 was primarily driven by an increase in volume in BJU’s family medicine, internal medicine, and emergency services departments, as well as the development of higher acuity departments such as orthopaedics. BJU was one of the first hospitals in China to use the Mako Robot, an orthopaedic surgical system that helps surgeons to achieve greater precision in joint replacement surgeries. In addition, BJU was one of a few private hospitals during 2019 to receive Good Clinical Practice (GCP) approval from the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), which allows the hospital to conduct clinical drug trials, providing an excellent opportunity for additional growth as well as for gaining enhanced recognition as a clinical research institution. Oncology service also grew 28% yoy. Moreover, UFH’s Beijing clinical network added two international school nursing clinics in 2019.
(2)PXU: Shanghai Puxi United Family Hospital (“PXU”) and its associated clinics recorded 3.3% yoy revenue growth in 2019 compared to 2018, which was primarily driven by an increase in volume in PXU’s orthopaedics and surgery departments. The growth for most of 2019 was somewhat impeded by space constraints of the aging facility (in operation since 2005). PXU successfully relocated its business operations to its new, more spacious facility in the second week of October 2019. The new facility is approximately three times larger in size and boasts new, advanced equipment such as 3.0T MRI and hybrid operating theaters, which are expected to contribute further to its revenue growth in fiscal 2020. The management team had previously assumed that PXU would relocate in the second quarter of 2019, however, the move was delayed to the fourth quarter of 2019 due to a delay in receiving necessary medical licensing approvals. the Shanghai network was further enhanced in 2019 with the addition of five international school nursing clinics.
(3)Tier 2 operating and other assets: Revenue from UFH’s tier two facilities and other assets, as a group, grew at 17.7% yoy in 2019. This growth was primarily driven by the continued ramp-up of Qingdao United Family Hospital (“QDU”) and an increase in postpartum patient volume at Beijing United Family Rehabilitation Hospital (“Rehab”), a result of increased recognition by patients of the benefits of medically-based postpartum care, a service line pioneered by UFH. Moreover, Tianjin United Family Hospital (“TJU”) continued to grow in 2019, adding new video incubator technology to the IVF clinic. Furthermore, Rehab opened a new High Dependency Unit (HDU) in 2019, adding a new, high-margin service line to this facility and is already supporting a number of acute patients with ventilator-based 24-hour intensive care.
(4)Total operating assets as a group grew 10.4% yoy in 2019.
(5)Expansion assets: UFH’s Guangzhou United Family Hospital (“GZU”) and Shanghai Pudong United Family Hospital (“PDU”) formally launched with complete practicing licenses6 in the fourth quarter of 2018. As a result of the strong ramp up, driven by increased brand recognition and new patient uptake, of GZU and PDU in 2019, revenue for UFH’s expansion assets, as a group, increased from RMB94.1 million in 2018 to RMB279.6 million in 2019. GZU and its associated clinics and PDU have generated an annualized revenue of RMB331.9 million based on December 2019 monthly revenue.
(6)Despite the delay in the relocation to the new expanded PXU facility, UFH’s facilities, as a whole, achieved organic revenue growth of 19.0% yoy in 2019 compared to 2018, which demonstrated strong performance across the group.

 

 

6 Formal launch with complete practicing licenses: after receiving the formal approval of practicing license for medical institutions and obstetrics operating license.

Total Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA(6)   27.6    162.9    218.2%   93.0%

 

(1)Tier 1 operating assets: As a result of improved physician productivity and increased efficiencies in selling, general and administrative expenses, BJU, PXU, and their associated clinics (together, “Tier 1 operating assets”) achieved adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption) growth of 10.4% yoy in 2019 compared to 2018. Adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption) was impacted by the “double rent” effect of PXU, where UFH paid rent for both the old site and new site in 2019. Despite the impact of the double rent burden, adjusted EBITDA margin (before IFRS 16 adoption) for Tier 1 Operating Assets increased to 25.6% in 2019 compared to 25.3% in 2018, primarily due to cost controls and operational improvements.
(2)Pro-forma adjustments: PXU successfully completed its relocation to its new, more spacious facility in the second week of October 2019. The adjustments include (i) giving a pro forma effect to annual rent reimbursement of approximately RMB15 million which took effect in November 2019 as if such reimbursement commenced on January 1, 2019, (ii) adding back RMB 3.7 million for additional rental expenses incurred prior to the PXU relocation due to space constraints, and (iii) RMB 3.7 million of ongoing net savings on fees payable to our business partner for this property in accordance with the rental reimbursement. Tier 1 Operating Assets recorded 15.0% yoy pro-forma adjusted EBITDA growth in 2019 and EBITDA margin improved to 26.7% in 2019, compared to 25.3% in 2018.
(3)Tier 2 operating and other assets: TJU, Rehab, QDU, and other clinics in 2nd tier cities achieved adjusted EBITDA of (0.2) million in 2019, compared to (9.4) million in 2018, due to increase in patient volume and bed utilization rates. This group is expected to generate positive EBITDA from 2020 onwards. Rehab has reached break even in 2019 mostly due to the increase in inpatient volume. In addition, the adjusted EBITDA margin of TJU has continued to grow mainly due to the development of higher acuity departments such as surgical and emergency services.
(4)Total operating assets: UFH’s operating assets, as a group, achieved adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption) growth of 12.9% yoy as of 2019 at 21.4% adjusted EBITDA margin. With pro-forma adjustment, total operating assets achieved 17.6% yoy pro-forma adjusted EBITDA growth in 2019 at 22.3% pro-forma adjusted EBITDA margin.
(5)Expansion assets: Expansion assets, as a group, experienced a decrease in total adjusted EBITDA loss (before IFRS 16 adoption) from RMB(126.6) million (or -220.9% of revenue) in the second half of 2018 to RMB(77.0) million (or -49.5% of revenue) in the same period of 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the strong ramp up in specialties where UFH has established strong brand recognition for the past 22 year of operation, such as the OB/GYN, paediatrics, family medicine, and post-partum rehabilitation practices at both GZU and PDU. In addition, the management contract of the asset light model at the Shenzhen facility started to generate adjusted EBITDA in 2019. UFH is currently overseeing the planning and renovation process of the Shenzhen hospital, and is in return receiving a branding/management fee.
(6)UFH’s total adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption) for 2019 was RMB143.6 million, or 70.1% yoy growth. With the above-mentioned pro-forma rental related adjustments made for PXU, total pro-forma adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption) in 2019 was RMB162.9 million, or 93.0% yoy growth.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

New Frontier Corporation Acquisition of United Family Healthcare

 

On December 18, 2019, New Frontier Corporation (NFC), a public investment vehicle sponsored by New Frontier Group, completed the acquisition of UFH (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing, NFC changed its name to New Frontier Health Corporation and its ordinary shares and warrants continued to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, under the new ticker symbols “NFH” and “NFH WS,” respectively.

 

NFC acquired UFH from its existing limited partnership and general partnership interests holders, including affiliates of TPG and Fosun Pharma. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash in NFC’s trust account, borrowings, and proceeds from the private placement of ordinary shares of NFH, led by New Frontier and its strategic partners and institutional investors. Fosun Pharma remains as an important long-term strategic partner.

 

The transaction provided NFH with approximately $165 million of additional capital, which is expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including for working capital and growth initiatives.

 

Coronavirus

 

Since January 2020, the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China has had an impact on the Company’s operations. In order to protect its staff, the Company has been following government guidelines of 14-day quarantines for staff returning to work from other cities, establishing flexible work arrangements, requiring temperature checks and personal protective equipment at UFH facilities, and providing epidemic control education and training to all staff. As of the date of this press release, the Company has had no confirmed cases of COVID-19 among its staff or patients, and its quarantine and hygiene policies have ensured appropriate levels of staffing throughout UFH’s facilities while ensuring safety.

 

To protect its patients, the Company has established temperature check stations at all entry points in its hospital facilities, restricted non-patient foot traffic at all facilities, established social distancing policies for patients inside its facilities, and provided free educational literature, in multiple languages, to patients.

 

In addition, the Company continues to support its patients through free online and telephone consultation services. The services cover over 30 specialties and have reached hundreds of patients, with public health talks on live-broadcasting video platforms reaching more than 1.2 million people. Through these online and telephone consultations, UFH has stayed engaged with patients while helping a broader swath of customers experience its high quality services.

 

As previously announced, several UFH hospitals have been designated by the government to operate fever care centers, allowing patients to be screened and, if necessary, transferred to designated COVID-19 treatment hospitals. These fever screening centers are separated by air flows and work flows from standard patient clinics, emergency rooms, and inpatient facilities to keep any potentially infected patients from impacting other patients or visitors. As such, nearly all UFH facilities and departments continue to offer services as needed for both inpatients and outpatients during the coronavirus outbreak.

 

NFH raised charity funds from New Frontier Group, the investment group that sponsored the entity that created NFH, and several strategic partners, and leveraged on its global supply chain network to source urgently needed medical supplies to Leishenshan Hospital, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, and other institutions at the front lines of the fight against COVID-19. The donation of medical equipment and consumables includes 29 ICU ventilators with 750 breathing circuits and 32 breathing masks, 155,000 pairs of medical examination gloves, 50,000 N95 masks, 3,960 goggles, and 185 reusable face shields. These medical supplies have been sourced across China and around the globe by UFH’s experienced supply chain team and will be directly shipped to the recipient hospitals.

 

 

   

 

Regional Market Re-Organization

 

In order to maximise operating efficiencies and synergies among regional facilities, the Company has decided to consolidate its operations in its three major markets, each with a unified leadership team. 

 

The Beijing Market includes all operating facilities, including hospitals and clinics, in Beijing as well as the Bo’ao clinic in Hainan Province.

 

The Shanghai Market consists of PXU and PDU, as well as the East China clinic network.

 

The Guangzhou Market consists of GZU and its affiliated clinic network.

 

UFH was founded with one standalone facility, and as the Company built more hospitals and clinics, it centralized certain policy development and shared service functions in order to achieve standard levels of service, branding, and quality, as well as to achieve economies of scale to eliminate redundant costs. By re-organizing the standalone facilities into unified regional market leadership, the Company aims to realize further efficiencies within each geography, allowing patients to experience the true value of its life cycle of care and seamless experience between clinics and hospitals.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

The beginning of 2020 was challenging for all industries in China due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. As a result of the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, the Company has lowered its expectations for growth in the first quarter of 2020. Based on current market and operating conditions, the Company expects revenues to decrease by approximately 25% to 28% for the first quarter of 2020 year over year. The Company is experiencing positive patient volume trends in March which it believes can continue, and as the epidemic situation continues to improve in China, the Company hopes to return to more normalized growth volumes by summer. This forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary views, which is subject to change.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this release are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this press release, the words "estimates," "projected," "expects," "anticipates," "forecasts," "plans," "intends," "believes," "seeks," "may," "will," "should," "future," "propose" and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, UFH’s preparedness to address the outbreak; UFH’s ability to manage patient inflows; and UFH’s ability to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within its facilities; UFH’s ability to grow its business manage its growth; the benefits and synergies of the Business Combination, including anticipated cost savings, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the markets in which the Company operates. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management’s expectations, beliefs and forecasts concerning future events impacting NFH. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside NFH’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of such risks, please refer to NFH’s Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 26, 2019 and subsequent Form 20-Fs filed by NFH.

Non-IFRS Measures

 

The discussion and analysis includes certain measures, including adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption), adjusted EBITDA margin, pro-forma adjusted EBITDA, and pro-forma adjusted EBITDA margin, which have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. We use these measures our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and pro-forma adjusted EBITDA helps compare our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance, and helps identify underlying operating results and trends.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption), is calculated as net loss plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) finance expense/(income), (iii) other gains or losses, (iv) other expenses (such as share based compensation), (v) provision for income taxes, as further adjusted for (vi) certain monitoring fees paid to certain shareholders prior to the Business Combination, (vii) lease expense adjustments as a result of adoption of IFRS 16, and (viii) transaction related costs, was RMB25.7 million ($3.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to RMB8.7 million in the prior year period. UFH adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, and recognized lease liabilities and corresponding “right-of-use” assets for all applicable leases, and recognized interest expense accrued on the outstanding balance of the lease liabilities and depreciation of right-of-use assets. As a result, the adoption of IFRS 16 caused depreciation and amortization and finance costs to increase in 2019, and excluded all applicable lease expenses in adjusted EBITDA. For ease of comparison to prior periods, the Company eliminated the impact of IFRS 16 on adjusted EBITDA.

 

Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA, is calculated as net loss plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) finance expense/(income), (iii) other gains or losses, (iv) other expenses (such as share based compensation), (v) provision for income taxes, as further adjusted for (vi) certain monitoring fees paid to certain shareholders prior to the Business Combination, (vii) lease expense adjustment as a result of adoption of IFRS 16, (viii) transaction related costs, and (ix) Pro-forma adjustments in PXU that reflects the ongoing reduced rental obligations was RMB19.3 million ($2.8 million) in fiscal 2019. The adjustments include (i) giving a pro forma effect to annual rent reimbursement of approximately RMB15 million which took effect in November 2019 as if such reimbursement commenced on January 1, 2019, (ii) adding back RMB 3.7 million for additional rental expenses incurred prior to the PXU relocation due to space constraints, and (iii) RMB 3.7 million of ongoing net savings on fees payable to our business partner for this property in accordance with the rental reimbursement.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption), by total revenue and pro-forma adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing pro-forma adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.

 

Please see the table captioned “Reconciliations non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

2 2 DISCLAIMER Forward - Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securi ties Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The actual results of New Frontier Health Corporation (the “Company”) may differ from the Company’s expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on the se forward - looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect”, “estimate”, “project”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “believes”, “predicts”, “p ote ntial”, “continue”, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward - looking statements. These forward - looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to manage growth; the Company’s ability to execute its business plan, including its planned expansions, and meet its projections; rising costs adve rse ly affecting the Company’s profitability; potential litigation involving the Company; general economic and market conditions impacting demand for the Company’s services, and in particular economic and market conditions in the Chines e h ealthcare industry and changes in the rules and regulations that apply to such business, including as it relates to foreign investments in such businesses; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Co mpany’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Most of these factors are outside of the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. Financial Information The Company acquired UFH in a business combination that closed on December 18, 2019. The financial results presented herein a re those of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Healthy Harmony, and do not include the results of the parent entity, NFH, for the 12 day period from December 19, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Industry and Market Data In this presentation, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding market participants in the sectors in whic h t he Company competes and other industry data. The Company obtained this information and statistics from third - party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. Use of Non - IFRS Financial Matters The discussion and analysis includes certain measures, including Adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption), Adjusted EBITDA M arg in, Free Cash Flow and Pro - forma Adjusted EBITDA, and Pro - forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information p rep ared in accordance with IFRS. We use these measures to evaluate our operating results and for financial and operational decision - making purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Pro - forma Adjusted EBITDA helps compare our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance and helps identify underlying operating res ults and trends. Adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption), is calculated as net loss plus ( i ) depreciation and amortization, (ii) finance expense/(income), (iii) other gains or losses, (iv) other expenses (such as sha re based compensation), (v) provision for income taxes, as further adjusted for (vi) certain monitoring fees paid to certain shareholders prior to the Bu sin ess Combination, (vii) lease expense adjustments as a result of adoption of IFRS 16, and (viii) transaction related costs. UFH adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, and recognized lease liabilities and corresponding “right - of - use” assets for all applicable leases, and recognized interest expense accrued on the outstanding balance of the lease liabilities and depreciation of right - of - use assets. As a result, the adoption of IFRS 16 caused depreciation and amortiza tion and finance costs to increase in 2019 and excluded all applicable lease expenses in Adjusted EBITDA . For ease of comparison to prior periods, the Company eliminated the impact of IFRS 16 on Adjusted EBITDA. Pro - forma Adjusted EBITDA, is calculated as net loss plus ( i ) depreciation and amortization, (ii) finance expense/(income), (iii) other gains or losses, (iv) other expenses (such as sha re based compensation), (v) provision for income taxes, as further adjusted for (vi) certain monitoring fees paid to certain shareholders prior to the Business Combination, ( vii ) lease expense adjustment as a result of adoption of IFRS 16, (viii) transaction related costs, and (ix) Pro - forma adjustments in PXU. See slide 42 for further information on these pro - forma adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA (before IFRS 16 adoption), by total revenue and Pro - forma Adjus ted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Pro - forma Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. Free cash flow is calculated as 1) operating cash flow 2) minus capital lease payments, 3) add interest expense paid, 4) add one - off transaction expense related to the business combination, 5) minus capital expenditure on existing operations of the facilities A reconciliation of non - IFRS forward looking information to their corresponding IFRS measures are not included in this presentat ion as they cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation t hat have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.
