Regulatory News:
ORPEA (Paris:ORP) is disclosing today
additional and revised information on its anticipated 2022
financial statements, following in particular the preliminary
information disclosed on 26 October 2022.
When announcing its "ORPEA Changes with You and for You"
Refoundation Plan on 15 November, ORPEA undertook to change its
method vis-à-vis its stakeholders, its approach vis-à-vis care and
support, and the attention paid to its employees, while restoring
its financial balance. It is with a transparency mindset that
ORPEA's new management continued its in-depth review of its assets
in order to obtain a value adjusted to the new context of the
company. Based on this work, the Group communicates today, ahead of
the 2022 closing, the accounting implications of the adjustments as
well as a new estimate of the value of its real estate
assets.
In its press release of last 26 October, the Group had announced
anticipated impairments between €2.1 and €2.5 billion which related
only to the part of the real estate portfolio subject to an
independent annual appraisal and to intangible assets. These
impairments were then estimated on the sole basis of taking into
account the new business plans drawn up by facilities and at a
global level, as part of the strategic review carried out by the
Group in the third quarter. With regard to intangible assets, this
estimate also included an increase in the risk-free rate to
2.5%.
As announced in the Press Release of 26 October 2022, the Group
has continued its work to review the value of the assets on its
balance sheet. So, essentially:
- With regard to real estate assets, the independent experts have
finalized their 2022 valuations by taking into account an increase
in capitalisation rates to 5.5% on average at Group level (versus
5.3% in 2021); in addition, the Group conducted a detailed review
of its real estate assets not appraised externally,
- Regarding the valuation of intangible assets, the Group
completed its approach by carrying out an in-depth review of
tangible assets and Capex to be taken into account in the scope of
capital employed subject to the test for impairments along the
IAS36 norm.
- The recoverability of financial receivables relating to
partnerships has been assessed on the basis of a detailed analysis
of the situations and the state of the negotiations in
progress.
Overall, the review carried out to date concerned more than 90%
of the total assets (excluding cash) appearing on the balance sheet
as of 30 June 2022. It leads the Group to anticipate the
recognition of additional impairments bringing the total of the
anticipated amount of impairments as at 31 December 2022 at
€5.0-5.4 billion pre tax, with a negative impact on equity of c.
€0.6 billion taking into account the reversal of deferred tax
liabilities.
In addition, and following the annual review carried out by
independent experts on part of the real estate assets (which
represents nearly 83% of the value of the real estate portfolio as
of 31 December 2022), the total value of the Group's real estate
assets as at 31 December 2022 is now estimated at between €6.0 and
6.1 billion (vs. €8.4 billion as at 31 December 2021).
These accounting adjustments have no cash impact on the Group.
The various amounts mentioned in this press release have not been
audited and will be reviewed by the company's auditors as part of
the closing of the accounts for the 2022 financial year.

The Group has continued to review the value of the assets on its
balance sheet and anticipates additional impairments to the €2.1 to
2.5 billion announced in its press release dated 26 October
2022.
These additional impairments, that result from taking into
account new elements, relate to real estate assets, other tangible
assets, intangible assets, financial receivables, and various other
assets.
- An anticipated depreciation of €1.1 billion on the value of
real estate assets subject to an independent annual appraisal
(versus the €0.8-1.0 billion announced on 26 October)
The Group had indicated on 26 October last that it expected to
recognize an impairment in the value of its real estate assets of
between €0.8 and 1.0 billion. This impairment only related to the
assets subject to an independent annual appraisal and only covered
the impact of the revision of the business plans relating to these
assets, at constant capitalisation rate. To date, the Group
estimates that this amount is closer to €0.8 billion.
In addition, in their assessments, the independent appraisers
used higher capitalization rate than last year, with an average at
Group level going from 5.3% as of 31 December 2021 to 5.5%
anticipated as of 31 December 2022. This leads the Group today to
anticipate the recognition of an additional impairment of these
assets in the amount of €0.3 billion.
- An anticipated depreciation of €0.9-1.0 billion on the value of
real estate assets not appraised externally
With regard to the portion of the real estate portfolio not
subject to an evaluation by independent experts, the review of the
assets carried out internally, which aimed to unit off some assets
no longer in use and to assess as faithfully as possible, the value
of the assets in operation based as much as possible on market
references. It leads the Group to anticipate an additional
depreciation of an amount of around €0.9-1.0 billion (compared to a
balance sheet value of €1.8 billion as at 31 December 2021)
This additional depreciation brings the total anticipated
depreciation in the value of the real estate assets to €2.0-2.1
billion at the end of 2022.
- An anticipated depreciation of €2.5-2.7 billion on the value of
other tangible assets and intangible assets against the €1.3-1.5
billion announced on 26 October.
In its press release of 26 October 2022, the Group had indicated
that it anticipated impairments of between €1.3 billion and €1.5
billion in the value of intangible assets corresponding to goodwill
and operating licenses. These impairments resulted almost entirely
from the evolution of the business plans carried out as part of the
strategic review conducted by the Group and from the increase in
the risk free rate to 2.5%.
In preparation for the 2022 financial year-end, the Group is
carrying out additional work to refine the accurate scope of the
capital employed to be allocated to the Cash Generating Units
(CGU). These reviews led to the reintegration of tangible assets
and Capex into the scope of capital employed subject to the test
for impairment along the IAS36 rules. This increase in the value of
the capital employed to be tested, to be compared with the same
forecasts as those used for the assessment presented last October,
leads the Group to increase the impairments of the assets under
review. The anticipated amount of these impairments is €2.5-2.7
billion, including nearly €2.0-2.1 billion for the sole intangible
assets (mainly goodwill and authorizations).
On such basis, the value of the intangible assets anticipated as
of 31 December 2022 would be close to €2.6-2.7 billion (versus €4.7
billion as at 31 December 2021).
- An anticipated depreciation of €0.4 billion Euros on the value
of financial receivables
As indicated in the press release of 26 October 2022, the Group
has entered into various negotiations to recover the amount of €0.7
billion of its financial receivables related to partnerships set up
by the previous management (amount appearing in the balance sheet
as of 30 June 2022).
Considering the status of the ongoing discussions for the
recovery of these receivables, some of which are likely to lead to
litigations, Orpea estimates that an amount of around €0.4 billion
would have to be impaired at the end of the financial year
2022.
- Impairments on the value of other assets on the balance sheet
anticipated for an amount of €0.1-0.2 billion.
Based on the work in progress and reviews still to be completed
(which relate in particular to deferred tax assets, working capital
requirement, items etc.), the Group anticipates that additional
impairments on balance sheet assets may need to be recognized for
an amount of approximately €0.1-0.2 billion.
- Value of real estate assets
anticipated at €6.0-6.1 billion
Based on the work carried out to date, and following the annual
review by independent appraisers, the Group expects the total value
of its property portfolio to stand between €6.0 and €6.1 billion at
31 December 2022, compared to €8.4 billion at 31 December 2021
(including €0.3 billion of assets held for sale).
This anticipated change as of 31 December 2022 encompasses €5.1
billion of the real estate assets valued by independent experts as
part of their annual review (corresponding to 83% of the real
estate portfolio value as of 31 December 2022). As detailed above,
these updated valuations are based) on the business plans drawn up
for each of the Group's facilities and at global level as part of
the strategic review carried out by the Group in the third quarter,
and) on new assumptions made by the experts regarding the
capitalization rates.
The portion of the real estate portfolio not valued by
independent appraisers consists mainly of assets under
construction, assets held in co-ownership and certain assets with
specific characteristics (small size, sites undergoing
restructuring, etc.). Post impairments, the balance sheet value of
this part of the real estate portfolio is approximately €0.9-1.0
billion (versus, all other things being equal, €1.8 billion as of
31 December 2021). It has been estimated by the Group through an
internal asset valuation process designed to reflect their value as
accurately as possible, based as far as possible on market
references.
The difference between the €8.4 billion reported in the
financial statements as at 31 December 2021 and the updated amount
of €6.0 billion to €6.1 billion anticipated as at 31 December 2022
results mainly from:
- A downward revision of the value of the real estate assets for
an estimated amount of €2.0-2.1 billion,
- A change of approach which leads to the exclusion of certain
assets that are not intended to be included in the scope of real
estate portfolio (mainly some equipments and furnitures related to
operated assets), for an amount of nearly €0.8 billion,
- And from the combination of perimeter change (assets in and
out) a depreciation for a positive impact of €0.5 billion effects
of changes in the scope of consolidation of real estate assets
(construction, asset disposals, etc.) and depreciation.
In addition, as part of the closing of its 2022 financial
statements, the Group is examining the possibility of making a
change in accounting method consisting of withdrawing from the
scope of application of IAS 16 and no longer recognizing
revaluations of the real estate assets in this account. This change
in accounting policy, if implemented, would result in a reduction
in the balance sheet value of the real estate assets as at 31
December 2022 close to €0.65 billion. The Group would in any case
continue to publish on an annual basis the economic value of its
real estate assets, as established with the use of independent
appraisals.
All of the anticipated accounting adjustments as at 31 December
2022 result from an in-depth review work which covered more than
90% of the total assets (excluding cash) appearing on the balance
sheet as at 30 June 2022. This review exercise was carried out with
a will of full sincerity and with the objective of aligning to its
economic and reality.
The various amounts mentioned in this press release have not
been audited and will be reviewed by the company's statutory
auditors in the context of the closing of the financial statements
for the year 2022.
- Update on the restructuring process
and the Group's financial situation
In accordance with the announcements made in the press releases
of 26 October and 15 November 2022, the Group has entered into
negotiations for a drastic financial restructuring to finance its
Refoundation Plan and achieve a sustainable financial structure. To
this end, it is leading discussions with its financial creditors
and with third-party investors as part of the conciliation
procedure with the Nanterre Commercial Court, open since 25
October.
As indicated in the press release of 15 November 2022, the
Group's objective through this financial restructuring plan is to
find the new funds necessary to finance its restructuring plan and
to sustainably meet the servicing of all debts. financial assets
that have not been converted into capital.
- Reminder of the main terms of the solution proposed at this
stage by the Group
As indicated in the press release of 15 November 2022 the Group
confirms the following main elements are being considered:
(i) An equity conversion of ORPEA S.A.'s unsecured debt,
amounting to €3.8 billion, by way of a rights issue opened to
existing shareholders and which would be backstopped by unsecured
lenders which would subscribe to unsubscribed shares by way of
set-off against their financial claims,
(ii) €1.9-2.1 billion of new money, in the form of (a) new
secured debt on assets of the group free of any security interests,
for a target amount of €600 million (in order to cover ORPEA S.A.’s
funding needs until early summer) and (b) a share capital increase
which will be offered first to unsecured creditors and shareholders
having participated to the first capital increase and then to third
party investors, the features of which are not yet determined.
ORPEA S.A. expects that pro forma these equity transactions, at
least 20% of its share capital will be held by long-term French
institutional investors,
(iii) Adjustment of the "R1" and "R2" financial covenants
contained in multiple financing agreements not impacted by the
conversion of debt into equity,
(iv) Maturity extension and margin reduction of the secured debt
at ORPEA S.A., and
(v) Necessary modifications to existing debt to facilitate the
implementation of the contemplated restructuring
The financial restructuring plan as proposed by the Group is
expected to significantly reduce its net leverage ratio, from 25x
in 2022E to 6.5x by 2025E (for an estimated net debt of
respectively €9.0 billion and €4.9 billion). This 6.5x ratio, which
in absolute terms remains high, should be reduced onward as soon as
the improvment of the group financial situation will allow the
implementation of the real estate disposal program planned by the
Group (through the objective of ownership of real estate assets
reduced to 20%-25 %).
As indicated above, the Group will solicit interests for the new
money debt and equity from all interested parties, including
existing stakeholders. The financial restructuring plan as proposed
by the Group will include a rights issue opened to all existing
shareholders and backstopped by the unsecured creditors through the
equity conversion of their unsecured claims.
However, the implementation of such a transaction would result
in a massive dilution for existing shareholders who would decide
not to participate. Moreover, further dilution is to be expected as
a consequence of the new money capital increase, which conditions
are not known at the moment.
The implementation of this financial restructuring remains
subject to the negotiation of its terms as well as of the necessary
documents and agreements. It also remains subject to usual
conditions precedent, which include obtaining the favourable
support of affected stakeholders (in particular lenders and
shareholders), agreed documentation as well as judicial
authorizations and approvals.
While the Group has not concluded on the implementation
mechanism of the plan, this could entail, inter alia, an
accelerated safeguard to facilitate closure of the process in the
event that unanimity cannot be obtained.
The next meeting under the Conciliation process with unsecured
creditors of ORPEA S.A. is expected to take place on 22 December
2022.
In parallel, ORPEA expects to receive in January 2023 binding
offers for its new €0.6 billion secured debt on assets, in line
with a funding objective in due course, during the month of
February 2023.
With regards to the equity raise process, binding offers will
also be sought for January 2023.
