Berlin, 30. Oktober 2018: MPH Health Care AG (ISIN: DE000A0L1H32) continued to benefit from the successful development of its portfolio companies in the first nine months of 2018. The net asset value (NAV) per share rose year-on-year by 27.6 % from EUR 5.14 to EUR 6.56 as of September 30, 2018. This means that the NAV is still well above the current share price (Xetra closing price on October 29, 2018: EUR 4.17).

In the first nine months of 2018, MPH generated a preliminary IFRS period surplus of EUR 48.90 million (previous year: EUR 11.22 million). This pleasing result was achieved through a corresponding increase in the value of financial investments. Compared with the end of 2017, equity rose from EUR 240.67 million to EUR 281.00 million.

"The health care and construction industries in Germany have been growing faster than the economy as a whole for years, and with our investments we benefit systematically, e.g. through the growth of HAEMATO AG with pharmaceuticals in the insurance-financed market, M1 Kliniken AG in the private payer market and CR Capital Real Estate AG in the affordable new residential constructions for owner-occupiers. We are therefore confident that this positive development will continue," says Patrick Brenske, CEO of MPH.
