(1)   The activities of Cegedim Outsourcing, Audiprint, and BSV have been reclassified under the “Cloud & Support” division due to operational synergies.
(2)   At constant scope and exchange rates.
(3)   The positive currency impact of 0.2% was mainly due to the pound sterling. The positive scope effect of 0.7% was attributable to the first-time consolidation in Cegedim’s accounts of Visiodent from March 1, 2024.


Cegedim generated consolidated Q1 2024 revenues of €155.9 million, an increase of 6.9% as reported and 6.0% like for like (2) compared with 2023.

As a result of the operational synergies between the cloud businesses and the integration of IT solutions, as of January 1, 2024, the Cloud & Support division now includes our Cegedim Outsourcing and Audiprint subsidiaries—previously in the Software & Services division—and BSV—previously in the Flow division.

Analysis of business trends by division

Cegedim Santé18.020.6-12.6%-17.1%
Insurance, HR, Pharmacies, and other services42.741.33.6%3.5%
International businesses13.612.58.7%6.6%
Software & Services74.374.4-0.1%-1.7%

Cegedim Santé’s Q1 revenue declined 12.6%, principally because the Ségur subsidies received in 2023 made for an unfavorable basis effect. Postponed delivery of tablets for nurses also impacted Q1 revenue growth, although the shortfall should be made up in the coming quarters. The favorable scope effect is due to the integration of Visiodent from March 1, 2024.

Other French subsidiaries posted growth of 3.6%, buoyed by continued expansion of HR activities, which is being driven notably by their new partner networks. The insurance segment made a smaller contribution to the division’s growth. The pharmacy segment was impacted by an unfavorable comparison basis for its equipment installation and updating activities, both of which experienced strong growth in 2023 as clients prepared to integrate functionalities related to the French health authorities’ Ségur program.

International subsidiaries’ Q1 revenue grew 6.6% like for like, spurred by both the UK pharmacy segment, which is benefiting from the launch of the NHS’s Pharmacy First service, and expansion of the hospital activity in Spain’s Murcia region. The positive exchange rate effect is mostly linked to a stronger pound sterling.

E-business15.414.28.9%8.6%
Third-party payer9.99.80.5%0.5%
Flow25.324.05.5%5.3%

The e-business flows grew 8.9 % with its two segments contributing to growth: the invoicing and procurement segment continued to grow, while health data flow activity was buoyed by the launch of new offerings designed to help hospitals to safeguard their pharmaceutical supply chain.

Third-party payer revenue appeared stable because the Allianz contract’s flows have been managed as a BPO service since April 2023. Excluding this impact, the business has grown, boosted by higher volumes and the development of the fraud detection offering.

  • Data & Marketing

Data activities were stable in the first quarter, with stronger sales in France than internationally.

Advertising in pharmacies continued to experience robust growth, driven by the expansion of in-pharmacy phygital media.

* BPO of HR and digitization activities

BPO services for health and personal protection insurers again benefited from a positive comparison effect related to the Allianz contract, which started in Q2 2023, as well as from dynamic sales in the overflow business.

BPO Business Services (HR and digitization services) posted stable revenue in Q1.

Highlights

To the best of the company’s knowledge, apart from the items cited below, there were no events or changes during Q1 2024 that would materially alter the Group’s financial situation.

  • Acquisition of Visiodent

On February 15, 2024, Cegedim Santé acquired Visiodent, a leading provider of management solutions for dental practices and health clinics in France. Visiodent launched the market’s first 100% SaaS solution, Veasy, at a time when the number of dental practices and health clinics in France was increasing significantly. Its users now include the country’s largest nation-wide networks of health clinics, both cooperative and privately owned, as well as several thousand dental surgeons in private practice. Visiodent generated revenue of c.€10 million in 2023 and began contributing to Cegedim Group’s consolidation scope on March 1, 2024. Post the acquisition, Cegedim is in compliance with all of its covenants and financing contracts.

  • 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 Company. On December 17, 2018, the Paris Commercial Court granted Cegedim’s request, which IQVIA then appealed. On December 8, 2021, the Court of Appeals upheld the judgement in favor of Cegedim. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, and in a ruling on March 20, 2024, the court overturned the Court of Appeals judgement that had exonerated Cegedim. As a result, the case has been sent back to the Paris Court of Appeals, with a different set of judges.
After consulting its external legal counsel, the Group decided not to set aside any provisions.

  • The war in Ukraine

The Group does not do business in Russia or Ukraine and has no assets exposed to those countries.

Significant transactions and events post March 31, 2024

To the best of the company’s knowledge, there were no events or changes after March 31, 2024, that would materially alter the Group’s financial situation.

Outlook

Based on the currently available information, the Group expects 2024 like-for-like revenue(1) growth to be in the range of 5-8% relative to 2023. Recurring operating income should continue to improve, following a similar trajectory as in 2023.

These targets are not forecasts and may need to be revised if there is a significant worsening of geopolitical, macroeconomic, or currency risks.
