Republic for €171 million1
On December 18, 2024, emeis signed an agreement with Penta
Healthcare Group for the sale of the Group's activities in Czech
Republic. This transaction marks the Group's withdrawal from a
geographical area representing almost 1.8% of the Group's EBITDAR
expected in 2024, with around 2,200 beds in 17 facilities. The
transaction is subject to the usual conditions precedent, in
particular with regard to competition, and should be completed in
the coming months. Penta Hospital International is the leading
hospital and clinic group in Central and Eastern Europe, with
nearly 60 facilities in the Czech Republic, Poland and
Slovakia.
In line with its stated ambition to reduce its exposure to
non-strategic markets, the Group also sold this week its entire 50%
stake in the Chilean company Rentas Senior Suites S.A. to its local
partner Cimenta, an emeis partner since 2019. Rentas Senior Suites
S.A. operates nearly 800 beds and owns a portfolio of 5 facilities.
The contribution of this investment to net income was previously
accounted for using the equity method.
These two transactions together represent a total sale price of
€171 million, for an equivalent combined EBITDA of around €12
million2.

In October and November 2024, emeis also finalized or secured
disposals of real estate assets in Germany, Spain, Portugal,
Belgium, the Netherlands and Ireland. Together, these transactions
(9 assets and 4 plots of land) represent a total disposal volume of
close to €80 million, for a capitalisation rate of around 5.5% on
the leased scope. These transactions were carried out with real
estate funds dedicated to healthcare real estate.
Laurent Guillot, CEO : “In line with our ambition to
dispose of €1.5 billion in real estate and operating assets between
June 2022 and 2025, we are moving ahead with our disposal program
in order to further reduce our debt and refocus our business on our
core markets. These disposals illustrate the ability of our teams
to follow our roadmap. In addition to the improvement in operating
performance, these transactions are also improving the visibility
of the Group's trajectory. To date, nearly 60% of our disposal
program up to the end of 2025 has already been completed or is
close to being completed, and the negotiations we are conducting
strengthen our confidence in achieving this ambition.”
