Raffles Medical Group's profits up 8% to $14.6m

On back of higher revenue.

According to OCBC Investment Research, Raffles Medical Group (RMG) reported its 1Q14 results this morning, with both revenue and PATMI increasing by 8.0% YoY to S$87.6m and S$14.6m, such that topline and bottomline formed 23.0% and 21.4% of OCBC's FY14 forecasts, respectively.

Here's more:

This is within our expectations as 1Q is seasonally RMG’s weakest quarter. On a segmental basis, revenue for RMG’s Healthcare Services and Hospital Services segments grew 14.3% and 4.8% YoY, respectively. This was driven byhigher patient loads, increased volume of healthcare insurance services and the addition of more specialist consultants.

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.
