Message from our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director

“I am delighted to announce our intention to float a minority stake in Burjeel Holdings on ADX. The Group was founded in Abu Dhabi in 2007 with a vision to make access to quality healthcare and clinical excellence available for everyone in the UAE. This vision has driven our strong growth over the past 15 years and today we are the leading private healthcare services platform in the UAE with an unmatched patient offering and diversified portfolio of 16 hospitals, including our flagship facility Burjeel Medical City, and 23 medical centers, across the UAE and Oman. This growth is also reflected in our strong and profitable financial performance where we recorded revenue growth of 18% between 2019-2021 and EBITDA growth of 37%.

“Healthcare is a core element of society and healthcare expenditure in the UAE and Oman is expected to increase by 6% annually over the next ten years. Burjeel Holdings is ideally positioned to benefit from this trend whilst also continuing to win share given our differentiated offering and our focus on providing complex, specialized medicine for all socioeconomic groups. Today’s announcement has been made possible by the ambition and drive of our teams and I am confident will drive the next phase of our growth in the UAE and across the MENA region.”

Frequently Asked

Questions

Burjeel Holdings is one of the leading regional private healthcare service providers in the UAE and Oman, operating as an integrated network across primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary medical care services. It provides a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem to patients across the full socio-economic spectrum through its four key market leading brands, Burjeel, Medeor, LLH and Lifecare.

The Group consists of a fully-funded network of 16 hospitals, 23 medical centres (including polyclinics and specialty medical centres with dental, cosmetic, homecare services, a specialised orthopaedics centre and IVF centres) and 15 pharmacies, as well as seven entities conducting allied services such as central procurement (e.g., GPO), revenue management, centralised diagnostics, central warehousing and patient valet parking services. Leveraging its clinical expertise and strengths in research and development, the Group will also provide medical education and research through its College of Medicine at BMC, beginning in 2023.

Burjeel Holdings provides a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem to patients across the full socio-economic spectrum through its five brands, Burjeel, Medeor, LLH, Lifecare and Tajmeel.

Burjeel Holdings’ growth strategy is focused on a number of key areas:

Ramping up of growth assets
The Group intends to increase patient volumes in its medium-growth and high-growth assets, and its existing mature assets by increasing in-patient capacity utilization, introducing new services, and enhancing infrastructure which, together with increased out-patient capacity utilization, offers a significant upside.

Increasing patient yield
In addition to expanding the range of services provided at its medical facilities, the Group also intends to optimize the utilization and revenue-generating capabilities of its existing services and facilities, by increasing in-patient capacity focused on complex cases, thereby maximizing patient yield. The Group will also continue to develop and enhance its complementary long-term care and rehabilitation services that are provided through Burjeel Darak and its central diagnostics and radiology services through Co-Lab.

Operational excellence
Since its inception, the Group has invested in its systems and controls, centralisation of services and upgrades of the digital capabilities to ensure that they drive best practice across its operations and support the continued delivery of high-quality services. Additionally, the Group is developing initiatives to further enhance efficiencies through projects such as centralised radiology and ICU command centres, as well as integration of key services, creation of a sub-specialty pool and standardisation of protocols.

Geographic expansion
In addition to continued organic growth, the priority for the Group is to take a disciplined approach for future endeavours and deployment of capital expenditure over the next five years. The Group’s international expansion strategy will be based on either serving primary and tertiary care needs or providing ancillary support functions by entering into joint ventures, partnerships and similar arrangements with strong, local partners.

In support of this strategy, on 23 August 2022, the Group signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the KSA’s Ministry of Investment (“MISA”) to partner and collaborate with KSA institutes and healthcare organisations and invest up to U.S.$1 billion by 2030 as part of the KSA’s ‘Vision 2030’ to establish and expand various healthcare offerings across the KSA.

The Group has a track record of strong financial performance and consistent growth that has been driven by its ramp-up of assets launched in recent years and supported by its focus on treating a higher-end patient mix and cost optimisation. For the years ended 31 December 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group’s revenue was AED 2,420.5 million, AED 2,605.2 million and AED 3,351.0 million, respectively, representing a CAGR of 17.7 per cent. The growth in the Group’s revenue was organic and largely driven by the ramp-up of Burjeel Medical City (BMC), Burjeel Hospital, Abu Dhabi and Medeor 24×7 Hospital, Abu Dhabi and supported by the focus on a higher-end patient mix, such as Thiqa patients at Burjeel facilities and middle-income patients at Medeor facilities.

For the years ended 31 December 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group’s EBITDA was AED 417.9 million, AED 470.2 million and AED 779.1 million, respectively, representing a CAGR of 36.5 per cent.

For the six months ended 30 June 2022, the Group had revenue of AED 1,898.4, EBITDA of AED 414.2 million, and net profit of AED 152.9 million.
