For the full year 2018, Cegedim posted consolidated revenues from continuing activities of €467.7 million, up 2.2% on a reported basis. Excluding an unfavorable currency translation effect of 0.3% and a 0.6% boost from acquisitions, revenues rose 1.9%.
The Health insurance, HR and e-services division grew by 4.7%, whereas the Healthcare professionals division experienced a drop of 3.1%. BPO revenues amounted to €35.9 million over FY 2018, an 11.5% increase compared with FY 2017.
EBITDA was more or less stable at €76.8 million, compared with €77.5 million a year ago, and the margin dipped slightly to 16.4% from 16.9% in 2017. The EBITDA trend was chiefly attributable to payroll costs outpacing revenue growth, external charges holding steady, and a decrease in purchases used.
Depreciation and amortization rose by €3.6 million, to €43.7 million from €40.1 million in 2017. Most of the increase was due to an €8.7 million increase in amortization of R&D over the period.
EBIT before special items declined by €4.4 million, or 11.7%, to €33.1 million. The margin declined to 7.1% in 2018 from 8.2% in 2017.
Exceptional items amounted to a net charge of €18.6 million compared with a net charge of €18.9 million in 2017. The main reasons for the near stability were the €2.4 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets related to mature assets and the €1.3 million decrease in other exceptional charges, partly offset by the €3.5 million increase in restructuring costs, including a €4.1 million charge related to the sale of Cegelease and Eurofarmat.
Cost of net financial debt fell by €0.8 million, or 11.4%, to €6.0 million vs. €6.7 million in 2017. This decline reflects the positive impact of refinancing transactions carried out in H2 2018 combined with the sale of Cegelease and Eurofarmat in February 2018.
Tax amounted to a charge of €3.9 million compared with a charge of €4.7 million in 2017. The main factors were a deferred tax asset of €0.7 million in 2018 compared with a deferred tax charge of €0.7 million in 2017, partly offset by a €0.6 million increase in corporate income tax.
As a result, the consolidated net profit attributable to the owners of the parent came to €5.8 million compared with a profit of €11.1 million in 2017. Consolidated net profit from continuing activities came to €4.5 million compared with a profit of €7.1 million over the year-earlier period. Net profit per share before special items came to a profit of €0.7 vs. a profit of €0.9 in 2017. Earnings per share were a profit of €0.4 compared with a profit of €0.8 in 2017.

- Health insurance, HR and e-services
The division’s 2018 revenues came to €307.7 million, up 5.7% on a reported basis. The March 30, 2018 Rue de la Paye acquisition in France made a positive contribution of 1.1%. Currency translation had virtually no impact. Like-for-like revenues rose 4.7% over the period.
EBITDA rose in 2018, up 13.2%, to €54.4 million, compared with €48.1 million in 2017. EBITDA margin was 17.7% in 2018, an increase of 117 basis point compared with 2017.
The businesses that made the biggest contributions to this growth in revenue and EBITDA were Cegedim SRH (HR management solutions), Cegedim Health Data (sales data and statistics for pharmaceuticals), and--in the health insurance sector--third-party payment flow processing activities. BPO products and Cegedim e-business (process and document digitalization) made notable contributions to revenue growth, and Cegedim-Media (advertising in pharmacies and health & wellness shops) did the same for EBITDA growth.
- Healthcare professionals
The division’s 2018 revenues came to €156.2 million, down 3.9% on a reported basis. Currencies had a negative impact of 0.7%. There was virtually no impact from acquisitions or divestments. Like-for-like revenues fell 3.1% over the period.
EBITDA decrease by 24.5%, to €18.9 million, compared with €25.1 million in 2017. EBITDA margin was 12.1%, down 330 basis points compared with 2017.
The businesses that made positive contributions to revenues and EBITDA were doctors’ software in France and the BCB medication database. Software for allied health professionals in France and for doctors in Belgium contributed positively to revenues. Sales of computerization solutions to UK doctors increased strongly year on year in the fourth quarter. By contrast, the main businesses that made negative contributions to EBITDA were doctors’ software in the US and Spain. Substantial investment in Docavenue's telemedicine offering--notably in person-hours--was also a headwind.
- Corporate and others
The division’s 2018 revenues came to €3.8 million down 1.5% on a reported basis and like for like. There was no currency impact and no acquisitions or divestments.
EBITDA decreased by €0.9 million, to €3.5 million compared with a €4.4 million in 2017.
Financial resources
Acquisition goodwill represented €173.0 million at December 31, 2018, compared with €167.8 million at end-2017. The €5.3 million increase, or 3.1%, was chiefly attributable to the €6.5 million impact of the Rue de la Paye acquisition in March 2018. Acquisition goodwill represented 26.7% of total assets at December 31, 2018, compared with 22.5% at December 31, 2017.
Cash and equivalents rose by €62.4 million, or 333.2%, to €81.1 million at December 31, 2018, compared with €18.7 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was chiefly attributable to the divestments of Cegelease and Eurofarmat in 2018 and the recording of client prepayments in the BPO health insurance businesses.
Equity rose by €1.6 million, or 0.8%, to €199.0 million at December 31, 2018, compared with €197.3 million at December 31, 2017. The change mainly reflects the €5.4 million increase in reserves, offset by the €5.4 million decline in Group earnings and €0.6 million of translation reserves. Equity represented 30.7% of total assets at December 31, 2018, compared with 26.4% at December 31, 2017.
Net financial debt amounted to €108.0 million, down €128.2 million compared with a year earlier. That figure amounted to 54.3% of equity at December 31, 2018, compared with 119.7% at December 31, 2017.
Operating free cash flow was a positive €64.8 million for financial year 2018 compared with a positive €13.4 million in 2017. The €51.4 million improvement was chiefly attributable to a significant decrease in WCR, partly offset by a decline in gross cash flow.
Outlook
Cegedim operates in constantly changing markets, and its strategic refocus is complete. The Group boasts solid fundamentals, a balanced portfolio of complementary offerings, a diverse client base, a broad geographic footprint, and the strength of an integrated group. These factors should enable it to sustain its current momentum and reach a new stage in its development where it can deliver lasting, profitable growth. Building on 2018, Cegedim continues to follow a strategy of primarily focused on organic growth and driven by robust innovation.
The Group has set a target of around 5% growth in both like-for-like revenues and EBITDA.
In 2019, the Group does not expect any significant acquisitions and is not issuing any earnings estimates or forecasts.
- Potential impact of Brexit
In 2018, the UK accounted for 10.0% of consolidated Group revenues from continuing activities and 9.9% of consolidated Group EBIT.
Cegedim deals in local currency in the UK, as it does in every country where it is present. Thus Brexit is unlikely to have a material impact on Group EBIT.
With regard to healthcare policy, the Group has not identified any major European programs at work in the UK and expects UK policy to be only marginally affected by Brexit.
The figures cited above include guidance on Cegedim's future financial performances. This forward-looking information is based on the opinions and assumptions of the Group’s senior management at the time this press release is issued and naturally entails risks and uncertainty. For more information on the risks facing Cegedim, please refer to Chapter 2, points 2.5, “Risk factors and insurance”, and 2.7, “Outlook”, of the 2018 Registration Document who will be filed with the AMF in the coming days.
Highlights
Apart from the items cited below, 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.
- Bpifrance sells Cegedim shares
Bpifrance Participations sold 1,682,146 Cegedim shares via an accelerated bookbuilding process to French and international institutional investors at a price of €35 per share on February 13, 2018. In the context of the transaction, the shareholders’ agreement dated October 28, 2009, between Mr. Jean-Claude Labrune, FCB (the family holding company controlled by Mr. Labrune), and Bpifrance – as well as the concert between the parties – has been terminated. Following the sale, Cegedim’s free float increased to 44% of capital (vs. 32% before the transaction).
- Cegelease and Eurofarmat definitively sold
On February 28, 2018, Cegedim announced that it had completed the disposal of Cegelease and Eurofarmat to FRANFINANCE of the Société Générale Group for an amount of €57.5 million plus reimbursement of the shareholder’s loan account, which amounted to €13 million. Of this amount, Cegedim used €30 million to pay down its debt.
The parties have decided that Cegelease and the Cegedim Group will continue to collaborate in France under the current terms as part of a six-year collaboration agreement.
- Rue de la Paye acquired in France
On March 30, 2018, Cegedim acquired French company Rue de la Paye via its Cegedim SRH subsidiary. The deal will enable the Group to market digital payroll solutions to 2 million SMEs and small businesses in France, including – importantly – thousands of healthcare professionals that are already Cegedim Group clients.
Rue de la Paye’s 2017 revenues were equivalent to around 1% of 2017 consolidated Group revenues, and it earned a profit. It began contributing to the Group’s consolidation scope in April 2018.
- Tax
On February 21, 2018, Cegedim S.A. received notice that French tax authorities would perform an audit of its accounts covering the period January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016. As the audit is still underway, the Group has not received any notice of tax adjustment.
- Independent director appointed to Cegedim SA’s board
At the annual general meeting on August 31, 2018, shareholders appointed Ms. Béatrice Saunier to a six-year term as an independent director. Her term will expire following the AGM held to approve the financial statements for the year 2023.
- New financing structure for €200 million
On October 9, 2018, Cegedim set up a new financing structure for a total amount of €200 million consisting of a €135 million, 7-year Euro PP bond with a coupon of 3.50%, and a €65 million, 5-year syndicated revolving credit facility with a one-year extension option. The interest rate on the new revolving credit facility is 20 basis points lower than that of the previous one.
- Euris litigation
Cegedim, jointly with IQVIA (formerly IMS Health), is being sued by Euris for unfair competition. Cegedim asked the court to dismiss the case against the Group. On December 17, 2018, the Paris Commercial Court granted Cegedim’s request. That ruling has been appealed
Significant post December 31th, 2018 transactions and events
- Acquisition of XimantiX in Germany
On January 21, 2019, Cegedim acquired German company XimantiX. Building on its presence in the digitalization market in Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, and Morocco, Cegedim now has a solid base for this activity in Germany, Europe’s leading economy. By acquiring a German leader positioned on the midmarket segment, Cegedim e-business will be able to develop its offer for SMEs. XimantiX customers will gain access to a wider range of services, thanks to Cegedim’s international scope.
XimantiX’s 2018 revenues came to €2.2 million, and it earned a profit. It began contributing to the Group’s consolidation scope in January 2019.
- Acquisition of RDV médicaux in France
On February 2019: Cegedim acquired French company RDV Médicaux, an online appointment scheduling site whose close collaboration with hotlines gives it a unique positioning. This deal clearly reaffirms Docavenue’s ambition to help healthcare professionals focus on patient care by offering innovative services that are 100% designed to improve the French healthcare system. RDV Médicaux’s 2018 revenues came to €0.6 million. It began contributing to the Group’s consolidation scope in March 2019.
- Acquisition of BSV in France
On January 31, 2019, Cegedim acquired BSV Electronic Publishing, the leading provider of invoice digitization solutions to French municipalities and widely respected for its successful Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). BSV’s ZeDOC software suite includes electronic document management--a dynamic data capture tool that sets it apart from a conventional EDMS based on document indexing--Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Automatic Document Recognition (ADR).
BSV Electronic Publishing generated revenue of €1.2 million in 2018. It began contributing to the Group’s consolidation scope in February 2019.
To the best of the company’s knowledge, except for the aforementioned, there were no events or changes after the September 30th that would materially alter the Group’s financial situation.

Cegedim provides BPO services for human resources, Revenue Cycle Management in the US and management services for insurance companies, provident institutions and mutual insurers. Business model transformation: Cegedim decided in fall 2015 to switch all of its offerings over to SaaS format, to develop a complete BPO offering, and to materially increase its R&D efforts. This is reflected in the Group’s revamped business model. The change has altered the Group's revenue recognition and negatively affected short-term profitability Corporate and others: 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. 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: Operating expenses is 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:
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 before special items: 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. Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated EBITDA adjusted, for 2016, for the €4.0m of negative impact from impairment of receivables in the Healthcare Professional division 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. EBIT margin: EBIT margin is defined as the ratio of EBIT/revenue. EBIT margin before special items: EBIT margin before special items is defined as the ratio of EBIT before special items/revenue.
