Mark Kurtser, CEO of MD Medical Group, said:

"I am pleased to announce that in January-September 2017 we delivered continued growth of key operational indicators and further expanded our network of hospitals and clinics.

"For the first nine months of the year, we increased the number of IVF cycles by 21%, or by over 2,000 cycles, year-on-year. The number of deliveries grew 2% year-on-year despite a challenging demographic situation in Russia. In-patient and out-patient treatments grew 14% and 9% year-on-year, respectively.

"This growth was mainly driven by the continued ramp-up of our hospitals in Ufa, Novosibirsk, and Lapino, as well as the further development of other medical facilities across Russia.

"At the same time, we have remained focused on expanding our presence in strategically important regions. In line with our plans, we are entering the final stage of construction of our hospital in Samara, which we plan to open already in Q1 2018. We are completing the groundworks for our hospital in Tyumen. And we signed a lease agreement, and are currently carrying out geodetic connection and preparing a standard design for construction of our hospital in Kazan, which we plan to start in Q2 2018. We are also developing plans for the second stage of development at our Lapino hospital and for construction of a hospital in St Petersburg. Also, on 19 October, we opened our 34th medical facility - this time in Voronezh.

"In short, we have delivered very good results throughout the year, and continue to work hard to ensure we are able to post strong results for the full year."
