-- Total revenue increased by 2.0% y-o-y to RUB 18,603 million.

"We are pleased with the Company's strong performance in Q3 2022. Despite the volatile macroeconomic environment, we continue to streamline business efficiency to deliver solid operational results in the reporting period.
"I am particularly happy about the robust performance of the regional hospitals, which saw their revenue grow by 16%. Among other things, our results in women's and children's healthcare continue to improve, with a strong increase of 50% in the revenue from deliveries in Q3 2022. This outstanding performance in deliveries was partly driven by the successful launch of core operations at our MD Group Lakhta hospital in St Petersburg, and impressive results of the Tyumen-1 multidisciplinary hospital with a 30% growth in terms of deliveries.
"Our clinical hospitals in Samara and Novosibirsk are on track to reach their respective design capacities as expected. For example, at the end of Q3, the IDK multidisciplinary hospital in Samara reached a utilisation rate of 73%, while Avicenna hospital in Novosibirsk hit a 71% utilisation rate.
"We continue to stick to our key priorities - improving the quality and range of services we offer, boosting operational efficiency, and achieving growth in Russian regions. For example, in November we are launching an out-patient clinic in Yekaterinburg with a focus on IVF cycles. This will enable us to provide residents of the Sverdlovsk Region with access to our hi-tech medical care.
"To sum it up, I would like to emphasise that our financial performance remains stable as a result of effective liquidity management and the Net Cash position we have built up. In line with our previous statements, we continue to share our success with shareholders, as the Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend payment of RUB 642 million for 6M 2022."

Total Revenue 1.6% 0.6% Hospitals in Moscow
In Q3 2022, revenue from Moscow hospitals declined slightly by 2.8% y-o-y to RUB 3,375 million. This was mainly caused by a 9.7% y-o-y drop in the number of deliveries in Moscow due to the overall downward trend in Russia's birth rate. In addition, the revenue was adversely affected by dwindling patient flows at the Lapino-4 COVID treatment facility amid the pandemic slowdown - a 7.1% decline in the number of in-patient days.
A decrease in revenues from in-patient hospitals and delivery services was partly offset by a 4.4% y-o-y spike in revenue from IVF thanks to the post-pandemic demand recovery (+7.4% IVF cycles y-o-y), as well as higher demand for treatment unrelated to women's and children's healthcare. The number of in-patient days in traumatology and oncology was up by 73.2% and 27.4% y-o-y, respectively.
The average ticket for out-patient treatment increased by 18.3% y-o-y mainly thanks to the development of dentistry and commercial oncology services at the Lapino medical cluster.
Hospitals in regions
In Q3 2022, regional hospitals' revenue was up by 16.1% y-o-y to RUB 1,660 million driven mainly by a 32.2% y-o-y surge in deliveries: revenue from this business line added 50.0% y-o-y.
A significant increase in the number of deliveries came on the back of Tyumen-1 gradually progressing towards its design capacity (current utilisation rate is 29.6% vs 25.9% in Q2 2022), as well as the strong results of the new MD Group Lakhta hospital. The number of deliveries at MD Group Lakhta in the reporting period was 229 (+172.6% vs Q2 2022), with the average ticket standing at RUB 177.4 thousand.
The 13.4% y-o-y increase in the average ticket for deliveries in regional hospitals was mainly driven by indexed prices.
Revenue growth was also significantly fuelled by an increase in the number of in-patient days (up 31.9% y-o-y), with revenue rising by 21.4% y-o-y in this segment. Clinical hospitals in Tyumen (Tyumen-1 and Tyumen-2) and Samara were the top contributors to utilisation rates, gaining 76.9% and 40.6% y-o-y, respectively. A 7.9% y-o-y drop in the average ticket for in-patient treatments resulted from the scaling down of COVID-19 diagnostic and treatment services.
In the reporting period, a slight drop of 1.9% y-o-y in the number of IVF cycles came about as a result of exceeded quota target under the MHI programme in H1 2022. The decline in the number of IVF cycles was offset by a 10.9% y-o-y hike in the average ticket mainly due to indexed prices. Thus, revenue growth in this segment amounted to 8.7% y-o-y.
Out-patient clinics in Moscow and Moscow region
In Q3 2022, revenues from clinics in Moscow and the Moscow Region rose by 6.0% y-o-y to RUB 642 million.
The number of IVF cycles went down by 7.6% y-o-y due to the exceeded quota target under the MHI programme in H1 2022. A higher number of IVF cycles is expected in Q4 following the allocation of additional quotas under the MHI programme.
Significant growth of the average IVF ticket by 17.0% y-o-y came from the product mix structure (correlation of transvaginal oocyte retrieval and frozen embryo transfers) in Q3 2022, an increase in the number of IVF services provided using new treatment standards (EmbryoScope), and indexed prices for services.
Out-patient clinics in regions
In Q3 2022, revenues from regional out-patient clinics went up by 5.7% y-o-y to RUB 764 million. Revenue growth in the reporting period was mainly attributable to a 2.6% y-o-y increase in the number of IVF cycles driven by the gradual utilisation of quotas under the MHI programme in some Russian regions.
The average IVF ticket grew by 3.9% y-o-y, primarily on the back of indexed prices.
On top of that, revenue (up 72.7% y-o-y) was positively influenced by a 61.3% y-o-y hike in the number of in-patient days due to the allocation of quotas under the MHI programme.
Net Cash position
As of 30 September 2022, the Group's debt declined from the 30 June 2022 level by RUB 2,557 million to RUB 2,061 million. The bulk of the repaid amount is represented by partial repayments of bank loans: the Group repaid RUB 2,166 million of liabilities ahead of schedule in the reporting period. As a result, as at 30 September 2022, the Company's Net Cash position amounted to RUB 2,362 million.
Capex
Total Capex declined by 56.1% y-o-y to RUB 999 million in Q3 2022. The hospital segment accounts for the bulk of Capex (54.7%), while the construction of new clinics and ongoing maintenance make up 45.3% of total Capex.
The launch of an out-patient clinic in Yekaterinburg with a focus on IVF and the launch of an MD LAB test collection point in Moscow are slated for Q4 2022.
The launch of an out-patient clinic in the Moscow Region is expected in Q1 2023.
