We consider the results to be within our expectation in 6.10 anticipation of further earnings recovery following strong 5.90 rebound in occupancy rates on the back of the gradual 5.70 reopening of markets which IHH operates in. Looking at the 5.50 performance of its 62%-owned Continental Hospitals and 5.30 74%-owned Global Hospitals acquired back in 2015 where 5.10 its EBITDA is hardly ever positive, India is coming across 4.90 as a tough market place.

Yield (%) 0.7 0.7 0.7 Global Hospitals acquired back in 2015 where EBITDA is hardly positive, India is seen as a tough operating environment. We are concerned over issues at Fortis, including an auditor’s qualified audit report in FY19, potential risk of provisions, lapses in internal controls leading to regulatory probing, which could well mean execution risk. Maintain UP. We maintain our SoP-TP of RM4.56. The stock is trading at rich valuations of 78x and 54x on FY20E and FY21E EPS, respectively, compared to expected earnings growth averaging 7% each over the next two years. Key risk to our call is faster-than-expected ramp-up in new hospitals.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kuala Lumpur/ Singapore, 20 November 2019 IHH Healthcare Invests In Genomic Medicine Company to Provide Cancer Patients Better Treatment Outcomes • Led minority investment in genomic medicine start-up Lucence • Offers patients clinically validated blood-based cancer screening and treatment monitoring solutions with a focus on cancers commonly found in Asia • Embraces value-based healthcare approach that aims to improve clinical outcomes through less invasive, more precise, and more affordable technology IHH Healthcare (“IHH” or the “Group”), a leading premium global healthcare provider, led a minority investment in Singapore-based genomic medicine company Lucence as part of a USD $20 million Series A. The investment is part of IHH’s collaboration with start-ups to deploy innovative and cutting-edge healthcare technology to enhance the patient experience, treatment and clinical outcomes across its network of 80 hospitals in 10 countries. In Singapore, for example, IHH is working with a local start-up to improve estimated bill size for patients ahead of admission through predictive AI. The partnership with Lucence will give IHH patients access to Lucence’s suite of cancer diagnostics and AI- driven analytics. Lucence uses liquid biopsy, a blood-based technology that is less invasive than tissue biopsies, to help clinicians discover a range of information about a tumour and aid in their treatment decisions through a simple blood sample. It focuses on Asia-prevalent cancers such as lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, nasopharyngeal and liver cancers. Dr Kelvin Loh, Chief Executive Officer (Designate) of IHH Healthcare, said, “Liquid biopsy is a game- changer in our endeavour to provide cancer patients with better, value-driven outcomes through precise treatment selections and more affordable care.
