Raffles Medical Group set to finish year strong after stellar 3Q13

4Q13 expected to be best quarter.

Maybank Kim Eng said Raffles Medical Group should end 2013 on a solid note with the last quarter forecasted to be its best-performing.

"4Q is traditionally RMG’s strongest quarter and we expect this trend to continue in FY13," said Maybank.

The comment came after Raffles Medical Group reported its 3Q13 results which were within Maybank's expectations.

Revenue rose 8.0% YoY to S$85.1m. PATMI was up 10.3% to S$13.9m, Maybank noted, with growth during the quarter was driven largely by a higher patient load.

"Both of RMG’s core divisions contributed to its topline increase, with its Hospital Services and Healthcare Services segments growing 9.4% and 5.7% YoY, respectively. For 9M13, revenue and PATMI increased 10.7% and 14.0% to S$253.0m and S$41.7m, forming 72.8% and 68.7% of our full-year estimates,
respectively," said Maybank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
