The effects of the coronavirus pandemic are burdening the business development in the first quarter of 2021 
The economic and social effects of the coronavirus pandemic, i.e. lockdown, increasing capacity utilization in 
intensive care units, reserved capacities and postponed acute treatments, weighed on the business development of 
MEDICLIN Aktiengesellschaft (MEDICLIN) in the first quarter of the new financial year 2021. 
Group EBIT significantly below prior-year quarter despite cost reductions l 
In the 1st quarter of 2021, Group sales amounted to EUR 156.4 mill. and were EUR 11.0 mill. or 6.6% below the value of 
the 1st quarter of 2020. Group sales include a total of EUR 7.6 mill. in protective shielding benefits for free 
capacities and payments on the part of the cost providers for additional expenses for hygiene and protective materials. 
Despite these benefits and a total of EUR 2.1 mill. lower expenses, the Group operating result was EUR -11.9 mill. and 
thus EUR 8.0 mill. below the value of the first quarter of 2020. Protective shield benefits and payments from the cost 
providers, which have been severely reduced by politicians, only accounted for a small part of the capacity losses and 
the higher costs", said Tino Fritz, CFO of MEDICLIN, commenting on the business development. 
Cash and cash equivalents as of 31 March 2021 amounted to EUR 100.1 mill. (31.12.2020: EUR 100.4 mill.). Cash and cash 
equivalents contain a total of about EUR 56.0 mill. in expected repayments to be made in the course of 2021, in 
particular of benefits under the protective shield previously received. Furthermore, the cash and cash equivalents item 
includes about EUR 18.0 mill. in subsidies for the planned construction of a new clinic. 
Outlook 
The number of people infected with corona, which has been rising steadily since the beginning of February 2021, and the 
capacity bottlenecks in clinics with intensive care units, only allow a reliable estimate on the company's own business 
development based on experience gained in the previous year. "The sales and earnings development for the year as a 
whole depends largely on the development of the pandemic and the protective shielding benefits, which will be 
significantly lower in 2021 than in the previous year," said Volker Hippler, CEO of MEDICLIN. 
Currently, MEDICLIN assumes that occupancy rates at pre-Corona levels will not be achievable before the second half of 
the year 2021 as vaccinations are progressing only very slowly.
