In 2014, Cegedim generated consolidated revenues from continuing
activities of €493.5 million, up 1.2% on a reported basis and 0.3%
Like-for-like relative to 2013. Acquisitions (Webstar in the UK
and SoCall in France) and currencies had positive impacts of
respectively 0.3% and 0.6%.
Operating expenses increased by 2.1%, reflecting the slight increase in
purchases used, external costs and payroll costs. It should be noted
that capitalized production is now deducted from payroll costs and
external costs.
EBITDA fell by €4.7 million to €86.9 million; the margin came to 17.6%
in 2014 compared to 18.3% in 2013. This EBITDA trend was attributable to
drops at the Healthcare professionals and Insurance and
services divisions partly offset by EBITDA improvement at the GERS
Activities and Reconciliation division.
Special items in 2014 amounted to a charge of €11.0 million, compared
with income of €2.0 million one year earlier. The major components of
this cost are the €5.8 million fine imposed by French Competition
Authorities and €1.9 million in fees related the IMS Health transaction.
Thus, EBIT amounted to €38.5 million, down by €15.4 million compared
with 2013.
The cost of financial debt decreased by €9.0 million, from €56.7 million
in 2013 to €47.7 million in 2014. This decrease reflects the positive
impact from refinancing in 2013 and 2014.
Tax expense decreased by €11.4 million, from a charge of €12.8 million
in 2013 to a charge of €1.4 million in 2014. This decrease is mainly due
to the non-capitalization of deferred tax in 2014. In 2013, the French
tax-consolidation group generated a deficit as opposed to a profit in
2014.
Consolidated net profit from continuing activities amounted to a loss of
€9.4 million, compared with a €14.3 million loss a year earlier. This
improvement in consolidated net loss reflected the trends in revenue,
EBIT, special items, cost of net financial debt and tax expense based on
the factors set out above.
The loss per share before special items was €0.3 in 2014 compared with a
€1.0 loss in 2013.

Revenue for the Healthcare Professionals division increased by €1.1
million, or 0.4%, from €294.5 million in 2013 to €295.6 million in 2014.
Excluding the 0.4% positive impact from the acquisitions of Webstar (UK)
in November 2013 and SoCall (France) in April 2014, and the favorable
foreign currency translation of 1.1%, revenue decreased by 1.1%.
Expressed as a percentage of total revenue, revenue for the Healthcare
Professionals division represented 60.4% of 2013, compared to 59.9% of
2014.
EBIT came to €31.1 million, down €4.4 million. Thus, the margin came to
10.5% compared to 12.0% a year earlier.
The decrease in EBIT reflects mainly the demanding comparison in the
computerization of UK doctors caused by an exceptional level of activity
with the NHS in 2013, and the decrease, mainly early this year, in
French pharmacists' investments.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the profitability
of software for UK pharmacists. It should be noted that profitability
improved in the second half of 2014 in pharmacist computerization in
France
Revenue for the Insurance and Services division increased by €3.9
million, or 2.4%, from €161.1 million in 2013 to €165.0 million in 2014.
There were no disposals or acquisitions.
Expressed as a percentage of total revenue, revenue for the Insurance
and Services division represented 33.4% in 2013, compared to 33.0% in
2014.
EBIT before special items amounted to €22.8 million, down €2.0 million.
Thus the margin amounted to 13.8% compared to 15.4% a year earlier.
This decrease in EBIT reflects mainly the development of a SaaS offer at
Cegedim Global Payments, part of the e-business activity, and the
significant investment made at Kadrige. It was partially offset by an
increase in business the Health Insurance companies and at Cegedim SRH,
the provider of human resources management solutions.
-
GERS Activities and Reconciliation
Revenue for the GERS Activities and Reconciliation division increased by
€0.9 million, or 2.8%, from €32.0 million in 2013 to €32.9 million in
2014. There were no disposals or acquisitions, and excluding marginally
unfavorable foreign currency translations, revenue increased by 2.9%.
EBIT before special items developed positively by €4.0 million, or
47.7%, from a loss of €8.3 million for 2013 to a loss of €4.4 million
for 2014.
This favorable trend in EBITDA reflects the gradual return to breakeven
at GERS activities, sales statistics for pharmaceutical products.
-
Discontinued activities (the CRM and strategic data division)
Revenue amounted to €429.8 million in 2014, up 0.9% on a reported basis
compared to one year earlier. EBIT before special items came to €45.3
million, up €5.1 million compared to the same period last year. Thus the
EBIT margin before special items came to 10.5% compared to 9.4% a year
earlier.
This increase is attributable to the growth in OneKey activities
in all of the geographic regions where it is present,, Compliance
activities chiefly in Europe, and Market research, mainly in the US,
France and Southern Europe. It is worth noting the positive momentum at
the Mobile Intelligence's activity, and that the Sanofi Group has
extended its supply contract with Cegedim through April 2017.
Following the disposal of this division to IMS Health, an impairment of
€218.9 million has been recorded in order to reflect the estimated loss
on capital gain from this disposal. Consolidated net profit from
discontinued activities amounted to a loss of €190.3 million.
Assets held for sale amounted to €584.9 million at December 2014. This
represents 50.9% of the total assets.
Liabilities associated with assets held for sale amounted to €180.6
million at December 2014. This represents 15.7% of the Total Liabilities
& Shareholders' Equity.
Financial resources
The consolidated total balance sheet amounted to €1,149.2 million at
December 31, 2014, a 5.9% decrease over December 31, 2013.
Goodwill on acquisition was €175.4 million at December 31, 2014,
compared with €528.5 million at the end of 2013. This €353.1 million
decrease is chiefly attributable to an impairment of goodwill of €218.9
million and a €201.8 million reclassification as "Assets held for sale",
partiality offset by a €62.7 million positive impact form foreign
currency mainly due to a strengthening of the euro compared to the US
dollar and sterling. Goodwill on acquisition represented 15.3% of the
total balance sheet on December 31, 2014, compared to 43.3% on December
31, 2013.
Cash and cash equivalents came to €44.0 million at December 31, 2014,
down €22.9 million compared with December 31, 2013. This decrease
reflects the direct impact of the disposal of the CRM and Strategic Data
division to IMS Health.
Shareholders' equity decreased by €127.8 million or 36.9% to €218.1
million at December 31, 2014, compared to €345.8 million at the end of
2013. This decrease reflects the impairment of goodwill on assets held
for sale. Total shareholders' equity came to 19.0% of total assets at
the end of December 2014 compared to 28.3% one year earlier.
Net debt came to €495.8 million at the end of December 2014, up €33.8
million compared with the end of 2013. It should be noted that excluding
the restatement of activities held for sale, the net debt would have
been down by €27.2 million.
Before the cost of net financial debt and taxes, operating cash flow was
€141.3 million at the end of December 2014, a decrease of €11.3 million
compared with the end of December 2013.
2014 highlights
On April 7, 2014, Cegedim launched an additional bond offering of €100
million, upsized to €125 million on the issue date, of its 6.75% Senior
Notes due 2020. Apart from the date and price of issuance (105.75% plus
interest accrued since April 1, 2014), the new bonds are identical to
the €300 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due in 2020 that the Group issued
on March 20, 2013. It should be noted that Cegedim was able to issue at
5.60% compared to 6.75% one year earlier.
The proceeds from the offering were used, among other things, to finance
the redemption of €105,950,000 of outstanding bonds due 2015 (at a price
of 108.102%), pay the premium and any related fees, and repay bank
overdraft facilities.
As a result, the Group's current debt structure is as follows:
-
€62.6 million of 7.00% bonds due July 27, 2015;
-
€425 million of 6.75% bonds due April 1, 2020;
-
€80 million of revolving credit due June 10, 2016, undrawn as of
December 31, 2014;
-
Overdraft facilities.
On April 15, 2014, Cegedim acquired the French company SoCall.
Its core activity is providing secretarial and scheduling services for
practices of healthcare professionals. The company manages incoming
patient calls, messages, scheduling and records of past consultations
for around 50 practices. Financed by internal financing, these
activities represent annual revenues of less than €0.3 million and are
part of the consolidation scope of Cegedim Group from Q2 2014.
-
Competition authorities' fine
On July 8, 2014, competition authorities imposed a €5.8 million fine on Cegedim
in response to a complaint filed by the Euris company accusing the Group
of unfair practices in France in the market for healthcare professional
databases.
Cegedim appealed this decision to the Paris Court of Appeals. The
French Competition Authorities decision is enforceable, so Cegedim
paid the full amount of the fine in October 2014.
However, the fine does not in any way jeopardize the terms of the deal
with IMS Health. We note that this risk was cited in paragraph 4.3.24 of
the 2013 Annual Report and in the prospectus that accompanied our bond
issue in April.
-
Execution of a definitive purchase agreement for the CRM and
Strategic Data division
On October 20, 2014, Cegedim, announced that a definitive purchase
agreement had been executed for its CRM and Strategic Data
division with IMS Health Inc. for a cash price of €385 million on a
"cash-free, debt-free" basis and subject to certain adjustments
dependent upon Group net debt on the completion date, changes in working
capital requirement, and the CRM and strategic data activity's
2014 revenues.
In late December 2014, the European Commission gave a green light to IMS
Health's acquisition of the CRM and strategic data division. The
decision is subject to IMS Health divesting its syndicated promotional
audits business in Europe. Revenue in 2013 from this business was
approximately $2 million. In addition to the Commission's approval, the
waiting period for the U.S. antitrust review expired on December 5, 2014.
The proceeds will be used to repay debt, thus reinforcing the Cegedim
balance sheet and P&L statement.
This transaction will allow Cegedim to refocus on software and
databases for healthcare professionals and health insurance companies,
and on its fast-growing multi-industry activities such as e-business,
e-collaboration and outsourced payroll and HR management. As planned,
the transaction will take effect in April 2015.
-
Cegedim B+ rating placed on CreditWatch Positive by S&P
On October 24, 2014, once the definitive agreement on the sale of the CRM
and Strategic Data division was signed, Standard & Poor's placed the Cegedim
B+ rating for its bonds on CreditWatch positive. Rating agency S&P
reiterated this positive outlook on February 18, 2015.
Apart from the items cited above, to the best of the company's
knowledge, there were no events or changes during the period that would
materially alter the Group's financial situation.
Significant post-closing transactions and events
To the best of the company's knowledge, there were no post-closing
events or changes that would materially alter the Group's financial
situation.
Outlook
For 2015, Cegedim anticipates consolidated revenue from continuing
activities to grow by 1%, excluding the impact of acquisitions and
currencies, and anticipates consolidated EBIT before special items from
continuing activities to grow by more than 5%.
The Group does not anticipate any significant acquisitions for 2015.
The Group does not disclose profit projections or estimates.

Information related to activities held for sale
On October 20, 2014, Cegedim, announced that a definitive purchase
agreement has been executed for its CRM and Strategic Data division with
IMS Health Inc. The transaction will take effect in in early 2015 second
quarter, post publication of this document. Consequently the 2014
Financial Statements are reported in compliance with IFRS 5 -
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. IFRS 5
outlines how to account for non-current assets held for sale.
In practice the contribution from these businesses until the effective
disposal, if any, to each line of:
-
Cegedim's Consolidated Income Statement (before non-controlling
interests) has been grouped under the line "Earnings from discontinued
operations"; in accordance with IFRS 5,and their share of net income
has been excluded from Cegedim's adjusted net income;
-
Cegedim's consolidated cash flow statement has been grouped under the
line "flow of discontinued operations".
These adjustments have been applied to all periods presented to ensure
consistency of information.
In addition, the contribution of the CRM and Strategic Data Division to
each line of Cegedim's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31,
2014 has been grouped under the lines "Assets held for sales" and
"Liabilities associated with assets held for sales".
Data presented with respect to fiscal years 2013 corresponds to
historical data and has not been adjusted.

GERS Activities and Reconciliation: this division
encompasses the activities the Group performs as the parent
company of a listed entity, as well as the support it provides to
the three operating divisions. The activities of GERS in France
and Romania and the company Pharmastock were transferred from the CRM
and strategic data division to the Reconciliation
division, which was accordingly renamed GERS Activities and
Reconciliation. This reorganization aims to simplify the
reading of the Cegedim income statement in the event that the IMS
Health proposal results in a favorable outcome. More information
is available in the "Presentation of Cegedim's Divisions" section
of the HY 2014 Financial Report.
EPS: Earnings
Per Share is a specific financial indicator defined by the Group
as the net profit (loss) for the period divided by the weighted
average of the number of shares in circulation.
Operating
expenses: defined as purchases used, external expenses and
payroll costs.
Revenue at constant exchange rate: when
changes in revenue at constant exchange rate are referred to, it
means that the impact of exchange rate fluctuations has been
excluded. The term "at constant exchange rate" covers the
fluctuation resulting from applying the exchange rates for the
preceding period to the current fiscal year, all other factors
remaining equal.
Revenue on a Like-for-like basis:
the effect of changes in scope is corrected by restating the sales
for the previous period as follows:
• by removing the
portion of sales originating in the entity or the rights acquired
for a period identical to the period during which they were held
to the current period;
• similarly, when an entity is
transferred, the sales for the portion in question in the previous
period are eliminated.
Life-for-like data: at
constant scope and exchange rates.
|
|
Internal growth: internal growth covers growth resulting
from the development of an existing contract, particularly due to
an increase in rates and/or the volumes distributed or processed,
new contracts, acquisitions of assets allocated to a contract or a
specific project.
External growth: external
growth covers acquisitions during the current fiscal year, as well
as those which have had a partial impact on the previous fiscal
year, net of sales of entities and/or assets.
EBIT: Earnings Before Interest and Taxes. EBIT corresponds
to net revenue minus operating expenses (such as salaries, social
charges, materials, energy, research, services, external services,
advertising, etc.). It is the operating income for the Cegedim
Group.
EBIT from recurring operations: this is
EBIT restated to take account of non-current items, such as losses
on tangible and intangible assets, restructuring, etc. It
corresponds to the operating income from recurring operations for
the Cegedim Group.
EBITDA: Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is the term
used when amortization or depreciation and revaluations are not
taken into account. "D" stands for depreciation of tangible assets
(such as buildings, machines or vehicles), while "A" stands for
amortization of intangible assets (such as patents, licenses and
goodwill). EBITDA is restated to take account of non-current
items, such as losses on tangible and intangible assets,
restructuring, etc. It corresponds to the gross operating earnings
from recurring operations for the Cegedim Group.
Net
Financial Debt: this represents the Company's net debt
(non-current and current financial debt, bank loans, debt restated
at amortized cost and interest on loans) net of cash and cash
equivalents and excluding revaluation of debt derivatives.
Free
cash flow: free cash flow is cash generated, net of the cash
part of the following items: (i) changes in working capital
requirements, (ii) transactions on equity (changes in capital,
dividends paid and received), (iii) capital expenditure net of
transfers, (iv) net financial interest paid and (v) taxes paid.
Operating
margin: defined as the ratio of EBIT/revenue.
Operating
margin from recurring operations: defined as the ratio of EBIT
from recurring operations/revenue.
Net cash:
defined as cash and cash equivalent minus overdraft.
