New decrease in net debt, down to €605.1 million, compared to €610.3 million as at end- December 2013

� Published revenue down by 10.0% at end-March 2014.

On a like-for-like basis, based on the same number of working days, revenue has increased by

� The EBITDA reached €73.1 million, down by 7.1%.

Despite more restrictive measures on the part of the French government, and the lower rates since early March, EBITDA margin is improving, accounting for 16.3% of revenue.

� The published current operating profit is €46.2 million as at end-March 2014, compared to €47.9 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Pascal Roché, the Group's Chief Executive Officer, issued the following statement:

"Despite a particularly difficult environment in terms of the economy and rates, we saw an improved EBITDA margin rate for the quarter in comparison with the same period in 2013, and significant growth on a like-for-like basis of the number of stays to 1.6% for the first three months of the year. These are both testament to the success of our cost-monitoring strategy and our quality offering that makes us stand out from the rest. In particular this allows us to reinforce our market position for the long term as a leader in France in outpatient services, with more than 54% of medical procedures carried out within the Group, whose offer marks the future of the hospitalization sector."

(1) The "Other Businesses" line item includes non-strategic businesses whose assets have been sold.

In France, the changes in scope are due to the disposals of Hôpital Privé Beauregard in May, 2013, of the Le Floride clinic in June, 2013, and the Kerléna, Bazincourt and Les Sorbiers clinics in September,

2013.

On December 16, 2013, Générale de Santé also completed the disposal of its mental health businesses and the clinics that handled after-care and rehabilitation related to the mental health activities.

In France, the Hospital Care and Services business recorded an increase in revenue of 2.1% for the first quarter of 2014, driven by growth in volumes.

During the first three months of 2014, the medical, surgery and obstetrics activity conducted in the Group's hospitals grew (1.6%) compared with 2013, on a like-for-like basis, reaching 226,000 stays. This growth breaks down as follows: +2.1% for surgery, +1.3% for medical and +0.2% for obstetrics.

In connection with the public service missions managed by the Group, the number of emergency care treatments rose by 2.6%, on a like-for-like basis, as at end-March 2014, based on over 99,000 patient visits to our emergency departments.

Organic revenue in Italy comes from the activity of the Omegna hospital, and was stable at end-March

2014.

Results:

1) Decline in current operating profit

In connection with the decline in published revenue (-10.0%), the Group recorded a slight fall in its published EBITDA (-7.1%). Optimized management of resources and encouraging outcomes for its MAP 2015 strategic plan made it possible for the Group to improve its EBITDA margin, which reached

16.3% for the quarter.

Current operating profit follows the same trend, a limited 3.5% decline in published data to €46.2 million.

2) Growth in net profit

Operating profit has improved slightly and reached €45.9 million at end-March 2014, compared with

€45.0 million the previous year.

Net profit is up, reaching €22.8 million at end-March 2014 versus €19.3 million at end-March 2013, following the lowered cost of debt.

Net debt: new decrease in net financial debt per IFRS reaching €605.1 million at end-March 2014 compared to €610.3 million at end-December

2013.

Net financial debt per IFRS decreased compared to its position at end-December 2013 to €605.1 million despite the poor but regularly occurring seasonal performance of the Group's surplus working capital between December and March. Net debt includes €157.3 million in borrowings and long-term financial debt, €410.8 million in short-term financial debt and €39.6 million in bank overdraft facilities.
