Message from Auna’s Executive Chairman and President

“Guided by strong leadership in our clinical, technology and business teams across Auna, our regional, horizontally and vertically integrated healthcare platform delivered strong results in the first quarter. Our 20% consolidated revenue growth was the main driver of the 26% YoY increase in our operating profit and 14% increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Importantly, Peru reached our target Adjusted EBITDA of 20%. As our continued success in Peru makes clear, we are capable of generating substantial returns as our capacity utilization rises. This strengthens our conviction in Mexico, where we are committed to deploying the same integrated business model. Accordingly, we continue to invest in bringing our operations in Monterrey up to AunaWay standards and in hiring top talent, both essential to expanding our high-complexity services and ramping up capacity utilization in Monterrey’s fast-growing market. Our recent performance at our OCA network in Monterrey is encouraging, with Adjusted EBITDA increasing 34% versus Q423 in local currency. We are also investing in the planned launch of OncoMexico later this year, with the intention of fully leveraging the nationwide insurance license and extensive distribution network that we gained through the acquisition of Dentegra last year.

As we continue to build our capabilities in Mexico, we expect returns to strengthen in the latter half of the year, giving us the ability to improve our financial position by reducing absolute debt levels and our leverage ratio.

To expand on our outlook for the remainder of 2024, we expect Adjusted EBITDA to increase 20% or more versus 2023. We remain confident in our ability to disrupt, modernize and integrate healthcare in Spanish Speaking Latin America, delivering strong value creation for Auna’s stakeholders. Of course, that would not be possible without the many doctors, nurses, technicians, managers and other colleagues dedicated to our mission of transforming healthcare in the region.”

2024 Financial Guidance

Guidance: For full-year 2024, the Company expects consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to increase at least 20% YoY on an FX-neutral basis.

Assumptions: Auna′s guidance is based on management’s current performance outlook and expected macroeconomic and regulatory conditions in the three countries where the Company operates. Any changes in these conditions could have an impact on the guidance provided.

Disclaimer: The 2024 financial guidance reflects management’s current assumptions regarding numerous evolving factors that are difficult to accurately predict, including those discussed in the Risk Factors set forth in the Company’s Form F-1 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS measures, specifically the 2024 EBITDA guidance, to the relevant forward-looking IFRS measures are not being provided, as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such guidance and reconciliations. Due to this uncertainty, the Company cannot reconcile projected EBITDA to projected net income without unreasonable effort. The 2024 financial guidance constitutes forward-looking statements. For more information, see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in this release.
