The Group is principally engaged in the provision of diagnostic imaging services.
Performance
The Operating results for the half-year are driven from the ongoing delivery of the Group's strategic pillars.
The business continued its success in growing revenue 11.2% to $94.8m despite another extended lockdown in it's primary Victorian market and continuing Covid-19 impacts during the half-year.
The focus on strategy allowed the business to open another greenfield clinic in Pakenham, Victoria and complete the acquisition, with subsequent integration, of Womens' Imaging which has a specialist focus on women's health located in Hobart, Tasmania.
The Group continues to invest in new equipment with the planned replacement of clinical assets including CT scanners to improve service offering and cardiac capabilities and ultrasound systems with improvements in image quality and accuracy of diagnosis.
A safe working environment for staff was maintained through the pandemic with regular communication and provision of PPE. Staff have continued their professionalism by maintaining a high-quality service to patients and referrers, despite staff shortages due to isolation and furlough.
The focus on matching staffing levels to patient demand for services and operating cost control delivered an Operating EBITDA of $22.2 million with an Operating EBITDA Margin of 23.4%.
Two small clinics were closed during the Victorian lockdown period and were not reopened, with activities being permanently consolidated into larger nearby clinics.
The company received $4.3 million from the exercise of employee options.

Directors' Report
Financial Highlights
Capitol Health achieved a statutory net profit after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2021 of $8.1 million (2020: $6.2 million).
- Revenue from services provided increased 11.2% on the prior comparative period to $94.8 million driven by organic growth for services, a full six-month contribution from the acquisition of Direct Radiology, a one-month contribution from the acquisition of Womens' Imaging, an increase in Medicare rebates for certain services and the opening of greenfield clinics.
- Excluding revenue from the recent acquisitions, Direct Radiology and Womens' Imaging, the underlying organic growth rate for revenue was 5.8%.
- Profit Before Finance Costs, Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation ("EBITDA") increased 0.9% to $22.8 million compared to $22.6 million in the prior comparative period. This growth in EBITDA was achieved through strong growth in revenue, tight management of operating costs, reduced transaction costs and an unrealised foreign exchange gain. The prior comparative period included government funded Jobkeeper support of $5.8 million.
- Operating EBITDA (EBITDA prior to non-operating items including Transaction costs, Unrealised foreign exchange gain/(loss), and Movement in financial liabilities) decreased 16.4%, from $26.6 million in the prior comparative period, to $22.2 million. If the government funded Jobkeeper support of $5.8 million was excluded from the prior period comparison, then the Operating EBITDA of $22.2 million for the half-year to 31 December 2021 would have represented a 6.9% increase on the prior comparative period result of $20.8 million.
- Operating EBITDA Margin (Operating EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue from services provided) was 23.4% which is a decrease from the prior comparable period of 31.1%. If the prior comparable period excluded the government funded JobKeeper support of $5.8m it would have represented an Operating EBITDA Margin of 24.3%.
- Transaction costs of $0.3 million were incurred mostly in respect of the completed acquisition of Womens' Imaging.
- An Unrealised foreign exchange gain of $0.7 million was recognised in respect of the foreign currency exchange movement (AUD : USD) for the investment in Enlitic. This was in comparison to an Unrealised foreign exchange loss of $2.4 million in the prior comparable period.
- The effective Income tax rate for the period was 27.6% compared to 42.6% in the prior period.
- Cash at Bank was $27.9 million and Borrowings were $29.0 million as at 31 December 2021.
Acquisitions
On 29 November 2021, the Group acquired the business and assets of Womens' Imaging which operates a dedicated diagnostic imaging clinic with a specialist focus on women's health in Hobart, Tasmania.
The acquisition is aligned to the Group's strategic plan for long term organic growth and expanding its network of high-quality community imaging centres. The consideration for the acquisition amounted to $0.7 million funded from cash reserves.
Capital Management initiatives
During the half-year to 31 December 2021 the Group did not undertake any new capital management initiatives and the share buy-back facility was not utilised over this period.
