72.5 million and EUR 82.5 million was also achieved with EUR 80.2 million. Dividend The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board propose that the balance sheet profit be carried forward. Supervisory Board Re-Appoints Dr Gunther K. Weiss to the Board of Management as of 1st January 2022 The Supervisory Board re-appointed Dr Gunther K. Weiss to the Board of Management in its meeting yesterday. "With Dr Weiss we have been able to retain a proven specialist in the health sector. We are pleased that he will support us in the coming years with his expertise in order to further develop RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG in a sustainable and stable manner so that it can live up to its role as a provider of excellent medical care," Dr Jan Liersch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, stated. Guidance for 2021 In 2021 our five major sites in four federal states with roughly 5,300 beds and approx. 18,450 employees will again form the economic foundation of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG. This makes the Company one of the largest hospital operators in Germany. For the current financial year 2021 the corporate group expects revenues in the amount of EUR 1.4 billion within a range of +/- 5 %. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) are expected to be between EUR 72.5 million and EUR 82.5 million. This guidance reflects the regulatory legislative interventions, such as the German regulation for the threshold for nursing staff (Pflegepersonaluntergrenzen-Verordnung - PpUGV) and the German nursing staff reinforcement act (Pflegepersonal-Stärkungsgesetz - PpSG), for example, which have become even tighter. The guidance is subject to considerable uncertainties in connection with the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and any regulatory legislation affecting the remuneration structure in 2021. =---------------------------------------------------- RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG is one of the largest healthcare providers in Germany.
