Sale or reorganisation: NMC’s fate to be sealed in 2 months | ZAWYA MENA Edition

The next two months are crucial for the troubled healthcare operator NMC as it will focus on either complete reorganisation the company or put for the sale, the company said in its late note posted on its website.

The company plans to hold its next meeting with all the lenders in late January.

It said revenues have returned to pre-Covid-19 level and exceed business plan as the second pandemic wave is currently having limited impact as the government directs a large majority of patients to its own facilities.

“Uptick in revenue in prior months (August and September) can be attributed to a seasonality factor which didn’t materialise due to Covid-19 when people generally didn’t travel out of the country,” it said in the note.

The healthcare firm achieved gross revenues of $1.25 billion by October 2020 as compared to its business plan of $1.13 billion by October while net revenues reached $1.19 billion as against $1.09 billion.
