Tel Aviv/Zurich, 21 August 2013 - SHL Telemedicine Ltd. (SIX Swiss Exchange: SHLTN), a leading provider and developer of advanced personal telemedicine solutions, today announced results for the second quarter and half year 2013.
Erez Alroy, Co-CEO of SHL, commented: “In the first half of 2013, SHL has made significant progress in executing its expansion strategy. In Germany, we continue recruiting patients into the AOK Bayern and IKK Sudwest contracts. In addition, we have been successful in acquiring the telehealth business of German based almeda Gmbh, which will clearly strengthen our position as a leading provider of telehealth services in Germany.
And he added "We continue broadening our international footprint and have been successful in signing contracts with hospitals in Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi, three of the largest cities in India. We expect to further sign additional, similar in nature, long term agreements with hospitals and believe India can serve as an additional significant growth engine for SHL in the coming years."
Business Review
Germany
During the period, SHL's German operation continued to focus on recruiting patients into the AOK Bayern and IKK Sudwest contracts.
In July, SHL announced the signing of an agreement to acquire the telehealth services business of almeda GmbH. The acquired business will contribute annual revenues of USD 7 to 10 million to SHL’s German business.
The acquisition of the almeda telehealth services business complements and expands SHL's offering in Germany and will further advance its mission of being the leading provider of telehealth services in Germany.
Under the agreement, DKV, the largest customer of the almeda telehealth business and one of the largest German private health insurers and a subsidiary of ERGO, commits to retain the provision of almeda’s telehealth services for a 7 year period.
The consideration for the business will not have a material effect on SHL's cash position. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013, with a possible final closing date in 2014.
Israel
SHL’s Israeli business continued to perform well, showing continued strong financial performance. SHL's Israeli operation continues to lead the Israeli telemedicine market, serving as an important knowledge base for the Company.
Other International markets
During the period SHL announced entering the Indian healthcare market through collaborations with Indian hospitals. These will offer the SHL telemedicine solution to their patients, as part of their routine out of hospital patient care programs. In conjunction, SHL has signed its first agreement, with Belle Vue Clinic, a specialty hospital in Kolkata. In July, SHL signed an agreement with Jupiter Hospital, expanding its presence to the greater Mumbai Region and recently announced the signing of an agreement with Alchemist Hospital in greater Delhi. Each such agreement is expected to generate up to USD 3 to 5 million over the course of three years. SHL expects to sign a series of additional, similar in nature, long term agreements with hospitals.

Tel Aviv/Zürich, 21. August 2013 - SHL Telemedicine Ltd. (SIX Swiss Exchange: SHLTN), ein führender Anbieter und Entwickler innovativer Telemedizin-Lösungen, vermeldet heute die Resultate für das 2. Quartal 2013.
Erez Alroy, Co-CEO von SHL, kommentiert: „In der ersten Hälfte 2013 hat SHL einen bedeutenden Schritt in der Ausführung ihrer Expansionsstrategie genommen. In Deutschland setzen wir die Rekrutierung von Patienten in die AOK Bayern und IKK Südwest Verträge fort. Zusätzlich haben wir das Telemedizin-Geschäft der deutschen almeda GmbH erfolgreich erworben, welches unsere Position als führender Telemedizin-Anbieter in Deutschland sicherlich stärken wird.“
Er fügt hinzu: „Wir werden unsere internationale Präsenz weiter verstärken und haben Verträge mit Krankenhäusern in drei der grössten Städte Indiens – Kalkutta, Mumbai und Delhi – unterzeichnet. Wir erwarten weitere Langzeitverträge dieser Art mit Spitälern zu unterzeichnen und glauben, dass Indien als zusätzlicher bedeutender Wachstumsmotor für SHL in den kommenden Jahren dienen wird.“
Geschäftsentwicklung
Deutschland
SHL’s Betrieb in Deutschland fokussierte sich während der Periode weiterhin auf die Rekrutierung von Patienten in die AOK Bayern und IKK Südwest Verträge.
Im Juli gab SHL den Vertragsabschluss für die Akquisition des Telemedizin-Geschäfts der almeda GmBH bekannt. Die erworbene Einheit wird mit einem Jahresumsatz von USD 7 bis 10 Mio. zum deutschen Geschäft von SHL beitragen.
SHL ergänzt und erweitert mit dem Erwerb des Telemedizin-Geschäfts von almeda das bestehende Angebot in Deutschland. Der Kauf trägt zum Ziel von SHL bei, führender Anbieter von Telemedizin-Dienstleistungen in Deutschland zu sein.
Im Rahmen der Vereinbarung hat sich DKV verpflichtet, für weitere sieben Jahre die telemedizinischen Dienstleistungen von almeda zu beziehen. DKW ist almedas grösster Kunde im Geschäft mit telemedizinischen Dienstleistungen, einer der grössten deutschen Krankenkassen und eine Tochtergesellschaft von ERGO.
Der Kaufbetrag für das Geschäft von almeda wird keinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Barmittel von SHL haben. Die Transaktion soll bis Ende 2013 abgeschlossen werden, mit einem möglichen finalen Stichtag im Jahr 2014.
Israel
SHL’s israelischer Betrieb entwickelte sich weiterhin gut und zeigte ein starkes Finanzergebnis. SHL’s israelischer Betrieb führt weiterhin den israelischen Telemedicine Markt an und dient der Unternehmung als wichtige Wissensbasis.
Andere internationale Märkte
Während der Periode gab SHL den Einstieg und die Zusammenarbeit mit indischen Krankenhäusern im indischen Gesundheitsmarkt bekannt. SHL will ihre Telemedizinlösungen Personen mit Herzerkrankungen anbieten. Dabei sollen die Krankenhäuser ihren Patienten die Telemedizin-Lösungen von SHL als Teil der Spitalnachbetreuung zur Verfügung stellen. Zu dem Zweck hat SHL eine erste Kooperationsvereinbarung mit der Belle Vue Clinic unterzeichnet, einer Spezialklinik in Kalkutta. Im Juli hat SHL eine Vereinbarung mit dem Jupiter Hospital unterzeichnet, um ihre Präsenz in der erweiterten Mumbai Region auszubauen. Kürzlich ist zudem die Unterzeichnung eines Vertrages mit dem Alechmist Krankenhaus in Delhi angekündigt worden. Es wird erwartet, dass jede dieser Vereinbarungen, im Lauf von drei Jahren, einen Umsatz von bis zu 3 bis 5 Mio. erwirtschaftet. SHL erwartet weitere ähnliche Kooperationen mit Spitälern einzugehen.
