“Growth picked up speed in the second quarter and all operating divisions contributed, which demonstrates that our strategy is sound.
A lot happened this past quarter. We acquired Mesdocteurs, a leader in telehealth and a pioneer in 24/7 telemedicine; Laponi, an innovative solution for managing absenteeism in real time; and Sedia, tracking software for medical instrumentation since 1985. We launched a groundbreaking strategic industrial partnership between Cegedim Santé and three social protection companies whose services cover 25 million beneficiaries in France and carried out a €65 million reserved capital increase for Cegedim Santé.
We are entering the second half of the year with confidence as we look to take full advantage of trends in the markets where we are present, and we continue to invest in innovation and our sales force.”

• Acquisition of Laponi

On June 21, 2022, Cegedim SRH acquired Laponi, an innovative solution for managing absenteeism in real time. Laponi, a French startup founded in 2016, has successfully developed a digital SaaS platform that lets companies ask internal and external employees to cover shifts when someone is absent. The Laponi solution is easy to use and alerts employees in real time about tasks that need to be done. Employees are then free to choose tasks while boosting their income. The acquisition enhances Cegedim SRH’s TeamsRH HRIS platform.

As a standalone component in Cegedim SRH’s portfolio, Laponi will be able to help solve absenteeism issues at the company’s 400 clients, and its solution will benefit from Cegedim SRH’s technical and financial resources as well as its sales force.

Laponi is profitable. It began contributing to the Group’s consolidation scope on July 1, 2022.

Significant transactions and events post June 30, 2022

Apart from the item cited below, to the best of the company’s knowledge, there were no post-closing events or changes after June 30, 2022, that would materially alter the Group’s financial situation.

• Acquisition of Sedia

The newest component in the Hospitalis range, Sedia offers health, financial, and logistical tracking of MD/IMDs that are on consignment or have been lent or purchased outright.

Sedia is profitable. It will begin contributing to the Group’s consolidation scope on August 1, 2022.

Outlook

Based on H1 2022 revenues up 6.1% like for like⁽¹⁾, and despite the public health, economic, geopolitical, and monetary uncertainty facing the world, the Group is confident it can grow revenues by 5% like for like⁽¹⁾ in 2022.

There is a delay of several months between wage increases and the annual increase in product prices resulting from indexation, for example products linked to the Syntec index in France.

The negative impact of that delay, combined with continued investment in R&D and the sales force, will be a headwind for H1 recurring operating income⁽²⁾.
