"Covid did not help Totally as Totally health care unit which makes near 30% gross was held back , as surgery was postponed."
On the contrary. TLY is not covid dependent as the diversified business has shown. Revenues & cash still rose despite some parts of the business being closed during covid. It also meant a delay in the rollout of new NHS long term plans.
However, covid help promote the various subsidiaries.
1) UCC - Covid promoted NHS 111 as the 1st port of call for any non-emergency. It's now in the public's mind to use NHS 111 1st before A&E or NHS 999. Urgent Care Centres/Walk in centres - more public were using UCC or Walk in centres instead of A&E.
2) Planned care - this was stopped during the 1st lockdown. However, the subsidiary is back up and running at pre-covid levels.
3) Insourcing. THC, the insourcing division was only setup in Oct 2019. Therefore the insourcing business was relatively new when covid forced it to close. This, I believe, was perfect timing. It presented a perfect opportunity for TLY to grow the insourcing business, staff, contacts, whilst it was closed. This is evident in the fact that soon after covid restrictions were eased insourcing division saw huge growth including increasing it's footprint to Republic of Ireland. The division now operates in all 4 UK nations and Republic of Ireland. Nothing from stopping it expanding into Europe at some stage.
The evidence of Insourcing division growth post is also In the presentation, the BoD said Insourcing doubled from H2 2021 to H1 2022.
With the increase in taxes in 4 months time, there is a huge wall of money heading to NHS.
