    (1)   At constant scope and exchange rates.
    (2)   The negative currency impact of 0.1% was mainly due to the pound sterling. The positive scope effect of 0.3% was attributable to the first-time consolidation in Cegedim’s accounts of new acquisitions Mesdocteurs, Laponi, and Clinityx.

    Cegedim’s consolidated fourth quarter 2023 revenues rose to €166.6 million, up 7.9% as reported and like for like compared with the same period in 2022. Despite some slowing in the fourth quarter relative to the rest of the year, all operating divisions contributed to the Group’s growth over the full year 2023.

    In 2023, revenues rose 10.9% as reported and 10.8% like for like compared with 2022, nearly in line with the Group’s expectation of 11%.

    Analysis of business trends by division

    Software & services84.481.14.0%4.0%326.6302.08.2%8.0%

    Cegedim Santé posted a 5.7% drop in fourth-quarter revenue. Because the company received a payment related to Ségur de la Santé public health investments in Q4 2022, the drop was mainly due to a comparison effect. Excluding the Ségur effect, Cegedim Santé posted full-year growth of 5.7%.

    Q4 revenues from the division’s other businesses in France rose more than 9%, bringing full-year growth to 7.7%. The biggest contributors over 2023 were HR activities, software for pharmacists, and outsourcing services. Conversely, non-recurring project-based business with health insurers was down compared with 2022.

    International businesses posted 7.2% growth over the full year compared with 2022. Sales to doctors in Spain were particularly robust in 2023, and businesses in other countries in Europe are also well oriented across the board. Sales of software to pharmacists in the UK is noteworthy back on growth. However, fourth quarter revenues fell 1.9%, chiefly owing to software for doctors in the UK. The market for doctor’s software is under pressure, and Cegedim plans to use the period for negotiations with the UK’s four health authorities—which opens in early 2024—to target the niches where growth is possible in order to reach operating breakeven in the medium term.

    Process digitalization and electronic data flows continue to do well, up 5.9% year on year over the fourth quarter, but the pace of growth slowed relative to prior quarters. Both French and international activities contributed to the growth.

    Third-party payer revenues increased 3.7% in 2023, in line with the trend in health spending in France.

    Revenues in the fourth quarter were stable compared with the same period in 2022. Full-year revenues were up 4.3% like for like and 5.1% as reported, due to the Clinityx acquisition in the second half of 2022.

    Marketing activities—whose business model is largely non-recurring—saw strong 13% growth in the fourth quarter, driven by advertising in pharmacies.

    The Insurance BPO business posted stellar growth over the full year, chiefly owing to the start of its contract with Allianz on April 1, 2023.

    The HR BPO business had a challenging quarter because of a demanding comparison as a result of several projects launched in Q4 2022, but still managed to grow 3.4% over the full year.

    Highlights

    Apart from the items cited below, to the best of the company’s knowledge, there were no events or changes during Q4 2023 that would materially alter the Group’s financial situation.

    • Acquisition of a majority stake in Phealing

    On November 30, 2023, Cegedim acquired a majority stake in Phealing, a start-up specializing in secure prescription drug delivery. Phealing’s offer, based around its artificial intelligence engine, caters to pharmacies: double checking prescription medication, which means verifying at the time the prescription is filled that the medicine matches the patient’s prescription, physical profile, and illness.
