Healthway finds upside during the downturn

The firm recently posted a 154% jump in net earnings to almost $4m

By VEN SREENIVASAN

FEARS of a flu pandemic may be causing jitters for many businesses, but it has translated into a busy quarter for listed Healthway Medical Corporation.

Booming: The group has been seeing a surge in visits over the past three months

The group, which runs one of Singapore's largest primary healthcare clinic chains, has been seeing a surge in visits over the past three months, especially from students and workers seeking flu screenings and clearance.

'Numbers started peaking in April,' said managing director Wong Weng Hong. 'And it has picked up even more over the past three weeks.' But it is not just walk-in numbers which have increased.

'We are also seeing strong demand for other services such as medical screenings and early diagnosis of chronic and critical illnesses,' he said.

Meanwhile its chain of 10 dental clinics is seeing increased demand for implants, braces and other procedures, he added.

'This is all a huge surprise to us,' said Dr Wong. 'You would assume that during a recession, people might cut back on medical expenses. But the opposite seems to be happening. As a business, this is good for us.'

The company, which now has 84 clinics islandwide, recently announced a 154 per cent jump in net earnings to almost $4 million for the quarter ended March this year, on the back of a 46 per cent rise in revenue to $24 million.

Healthway had $28.5 million in cash, was cashflow positive to the count of $10 million, and had a gearing of 0.5 per cent.

Still, Dr Wong regards the first quarter of 2009 as a traditionally slow period, because of numerous holidays and the Chinese New Year period.

'The second quarter has been very different,' he said. So different that its normally quiet Bukit Timah clinic, for example, has seen an almost 300 per cent rise in patient numbers.

Part of this is due to the fact that Healthway is the largest Pandemic Preparedness Clinic chain in Singapore, providing diagnosis and treatment.

Given Healthway's patient retention rate of some 60 per cent, Dr Wong hopes many first time visitors will become repeat customers.

Meanwhile, the economic slump has also eased pressure on Healthway's operating costs, particularly manpower, material and rentals.

The group, which also includes the Singapore Baby & Child Clinic franchise, recently started expanding into specialised medical services with its first eye centre and ear, nose and throat (ENT) centre at Mt Alvernia. Over a dozen more specialist clinics are in the works as it gears towards a chain of 120 outlets islandwide. Plans are also underway for a 100-bed specialist hospital.

'Our general practice has a huge pool of patients who are a natural catchment for our specialist services,' Dr Wong explained.

Established in 1990 by Dr Wong with some partners, the group grew to 15 clinics by 1997. By 2001, it had undergone several restructurings which saw the chain double in size and the entry of new shareholders, including British insurance group BUPA and its current major shareholders, led by executive chairman Fan Kow Hin, which ultimately led to its 2008 listing.

Today, Healthway has more than 140 doctors and over 300 nurses serving a patient base of some 350,000.

Although still largely a family medicine chain, its corporate business has been growing in recent years. It now has 1,000 corporate clients, the latest being a three-year $5.9 million contract with the Singapore Police Force.

Beyond Singapore, Healthway made its first foray into China with two clinics in Shanghai, held through a Hong Kong- based special purpose vehicle.

'We see huge potential in the vast domestic market there,' Dr Wong said. 'But we won't compete with other foreign players, who serve niche markets like expatriates or corporate multinational accounts.'

Meanwhile, the company is mulling a promotion to the main board of the Singapore Exchange.

'We opted for a Catalist listing because we had not completed the audits for some of our newer acquisitions,' Mr Wong said. 'Now we are have the numbers.'

Indeed, 'the numbers' may have caught the attention of potential institutional investors. Asked about this, Dr Wong acknowledged there have been discussions with various parties, but declined to elaborate.

'Healthcare is a growth business and many people naturally want to participate in it,' he said.

Another attraction would no doubt be its relatively low valuation. At 11 cents per share, Healthway is trading at a price-earnings multiple of just eight times, which compares favourably with its four listed peers, whose multiples range from 15 to 50 times.

But investors or valuations aside, Dr Wong is confident that a year after listing, his company is positioned for strong growth.

although it cannot be as bullish as in 2007 (where analysts predicted TP 70cts+), it is also not a dead duck. Every dog has its day.(as long as it is not dead dog).

Prospects and implications for developing country financing needs

Global Economic Prospects 2010: Financial markets

Available in: Español, Français, 中文

Page 1 of 1

Overall, net private capital flows to developing countries in 2009 are estimated to have fallen by $795 billion (relative to their high in 2007), or by almost 70 percent. Even with recovery on the horizon, projected flows in 2010 are only $517 billion, or 3.2 percent of GDP. Lower-income countries will suffer the most from this shrinkage, because their already miniscule share of total private capital flows (i.e., 2.6 percent in 2007) is expected to dwindle to almost nothing in 2010. Even though small in absolute terms, the capital inflows to these low-income countries represent a significant share of national income and investment, and their loss will certainly have a severe impact on the ability of these countries to meet their financing needs in the short to medium term (see chapter 3).

While capital inflows have declined sharply, the ex ante financing needs of developing countries have not changed.significantly. Based on the current account deficit projections for 2010, along with schedules of private foreign debt coming due, the total external financing needs of developing countries are expected to be on the order of $1.1 trillion in 2010, compared with an estimated $1.2 trillion in 2009.Countries in Europe and Central Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean face the largest external financing needs in 2010, projected at $447 billion and $280 billion, respectively. Although smaller in magnitude, Sub-Saharan Africa's financing needs are also large, standing at nearly 12 percent of GDP.

Combining these projections with country- specific estimates of the amount of private sector financing likely to be forthcoming suggests that developing countries could face a total financing gap of as much as $315 billion in 2010.

In 2009 those countries whose ex ante financing needs exceeded private capital inflows were forced to bridge the gap either by cutting into domestic demand and via exchange rate depreciation—thereby reducing their trade deficits via lower imports, or by using other resources such as drawing down international reserves or drawing upon official assistance (or both). Overall, developing countries consumed some $362 billion worth of their international reserves during the initial phases of the crisis, while a wide range of countries increased borrowing from the international Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and various regional and bilateral development agencies. Currently, an overall count of the increase in official flows is unavailable, but the World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or IBRD, and IDA) alone increased its lending commitments by some $12.8 billion, while the IMF made an additional commitment of $70 billion by October 2009.

The IMF's lending resources are being tripled, to $750 billion, including a new special drawing right (SDR) allocation of $283 billion. However, since SDRs are allocated according to country quotas, the benefits of this move for the neediest developing countries are small.
