    Cegedim: 2021 gets off to an interesting start

    • Like-for-like Q1 revenues are up 1.0% on 2020.
    • Like-for-like Q1 revenues are up 4.2% on 2019.
    • We confidently expect to meet our 2021 business objectives.

    Boulogne-Billancourt, France, April 27, 2021, after the market close

    Cegedim posted consolidated Q1 2021 revenues of €122.5 million, up 0.8% on a reported basis, and up 1.0% and 4.2% like for like compared with the same periods in 2020 and 2019 respectively.

    “The situation remains volatile, uncertainties continue, and we are still feeling the impacts of the health crisis. However, after relatively flat months in January and February, business picked up in March. Compared with the first quarter of 2019, revenues have grown 4.2% like for like, and we are therefore confident in our ability to put in a sound performance this year”.

    Laurent Labrune,

    Cegedim Deputy Managing Director

    (2)   At constant scope and exchange rates. In 2020, the €1.8 million hit from scope effects, or 1.5pp, was chiefly due to the sale of nearly all the business activities of Pulse Systems Inc in the US in August 2019, which was partly offset by the acquisitions of Cosytec in France in July 2019, and NetEDI in the UK in August 2019.

    Analysis of business trends by division

    • Software & Services

    Q1 2021 division revenues came to €68.8 million, virtually stable compared with 2020, and up 3% on 2019 like for like.

    Revenues were stable as growth in software businesses was offset by a negative base effect in computerization services for UK doctors— in 2020, the NHS requested specific developments which generated one-off revenues.

    In the so-called project business—which mostly concerns the health insurance sector and had been at a standstill for several months—activity picked up again as the Group’s technological advances were rewarded with several large new contracts.

    • Flow

    Q1 2021 division revenues totaled €21.0 million, up 3.4% on 2020 and 4.3% on 2019 like for like.

    Process digitization in all sectors grew sharply, boosted by contracts signed in Q4 2020. This growth was partially curbed by:

    • International activities, with strict lockdowns in both Germany and the UK. However, the business recovery in both these countries bodes well for a return to growth in H2.
    • Health flows, since French people avoid medical care during periods of Covid-19 restrictions.
      • Data & Marketing

    Q1 2021 division revenues came to €19.9 million, up 5.7% on 2020 and 5.4% on 2019 like for like.

    Data activities experienced strong growth as a result of the pandemic. The pharmacy advertising business in France continues to recover.

    • BPO

    Q1 2021 division revenues came to €11.7 million, down 5.2% on 2020, and up 8.0% on 2019 like for like.

    This business, which includes a large share of outsourced management services for health insurance companies and mutuals, was hard hit as French people delayed or avoided medical care because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    • Corporate and others

    Q1 2021 division revenues came to €1.0 million, up 21.3% on 2020 and 17.2% on 2019 like for like.

    Highlights
