AEVIS VICTORIA SA (AEVS.SW) - Publication of the 2023 revenue
AEVIS VICTORIA SA (AEVIS) saw contrasting revenue developments in its holdings in 2023. A record year for hospitality &
services, while healthcare experienced a stagnation. However, the overall value of the participations increased
significantly. The investment company expects a net loss of between CHF 35 and 45 million due to the absence of M&A
transactions affecting the result.
MRH Switzerland SA (ex-Victoria Jungfrau AG), the subsidiary dedicated to the hotel operations, achieved revenues of
CHF 170.5 million in 2023, up by 10.3% (2022: CHF 154.5 million). Benefiting from investments and repositioning, the
average room rate increased from CHF 412 in 2019 to CHF 559 in 2023, enabling the absorption of rising costs due to
inflation and the geopolitical situation. Destinations like Zermatt and Interlaken performed exceptionally well, buoyed
by the positive momentum in Switzerland's tourism sector. The organic growth of 6.4% recorded in 2023 continued into
the first months of 2024.
Swiss Hotel Properties SA, the hotel real estate subsidiary, saw the value of its real estate portfolio grow to
approximately CHF 855 million, mainly due to acquisitions and developments in Zermatt and Interlaken.
Batgroup, a minority and non-consolidated subsidiary of AEVIS specializing in on-demand home services, increased
revenues by 10.0% to CHF 34.1 million, of which CHF 31.5 million in Switzerland. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the
company achieved a positive EBITDA for the first time. Batgroup acquired Putzfrau.ch in 2023, the leading company in
the sector in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, securing its top position in Switzerland.
Swiss Medical Network, an operating subsidiary dedicated to healthcare, generated revenues of CHF 768.7 million, taking
into account the deconsolidation of Réseau de l'Arc. On a like-for-like basis, revenues remained stable, with organic
growth of 0.3%. The overall increase in costs, especially energy, personnel expenses and materials, heavily impacts
margins, as the fixed medical and hospital tariffs do not allow for the inflation to be passed onto revenues. This
problem affects the entire Swiss healthcare sector, both public and private. Swiss Medical Network has initiated
various cost-optimization measures in order to regain the margins achieved in 2022 by 2024.
Several exceptional factors have also affected Swiss Medical Network's profitability, but are essential investments for
the future. The development of the integrated care and the Viva project require the creation of structures (primary
care) and a dedicated organization, which temporarily affect overall profitability and will only bear fruit in a few
years with the development of new integrated care regions. Another exceptional factor is various construction projects,
particularly at the Clinique de Genolier (Genolier Innovation Hub) and Privatklinik Bethanien (integration of
Privatklinik Pyramide) campuses, which also weighed on the activity and profitability of these two entities in 2023.
Visana Beteiligungen's investment in Swiss Medical Network, which allowed the realization of the Viva-Réseau de l'Arc
integrated care model designed to transform the Swiss healthcare system, confirmed the value of AEVIS' participation at
over CHF 1.4 billion.
Investments in Well Gesundheit AG and AD Swiss Net AG, two minority holdings in digital health platforms, are showing
promising developments, with Well becoming the most widely used health app in Switzerland, with over 300'000 users. The
digital solutions offered by Well and AD Swiss Net are used in setting up integrated healthcare regions such as Réseau
de l'Arc.
Infracore SA, a minority holding of AEVIS dedicated to healthcare infrastructures, achieved stable revenues (excluding
revaluation changes) of CHF 59.6 million (2022: CHF 60.0 million). Due to new constructions and increased rental space,
the total value of the real estate portfolio rose to CHF 1.29 billion (2022: CHF 1.25 billion), despite negative value
adjustments of CHF 16.8 million on existing properties. Infracore SA has 206'267 sqm of rental space across 19 sites,
with an average valuation per sqm of CHF 6'238 (2022: CHF 6'368).
AEVIS' consolidated revenue, a less representative indicator for an investment company, amounted to CHF 953.0 million
(2022: CHF 1.14 billion), down due to the deconsolidation of Réseau de l'Arc and the absence of M&A transactions
affecting the result. On a like-for-like basis, organic growth stood at 1.5%.
AEVIS will publish its 2023 Annual Report on Thursday 28 March 2024. The investment company expects a net loss after
depreciation, amortization and financial expenses of between CHF 35 and 45 million.
