     • Total revenue remained flat year-on-year (y-o-y) at RUB 6,221 million.
     • Revenue of  the Group’s  regional  hospitals grew  by 14.4%  y-o-y  to
       RUB 1,669 million thanks to the strong operational performance of  the

       hospital in Samara, as  well as the solid  results of MD Group  Lakhta
       hospital in St Petersburg.
     • Revenue from out-patient clinics in other regions rose by 23.0%  y-o-y
       to RUB 823 million as  elective care and  IVF recovered following  the
       pandemic.
     • Revenue of the Group’s hospitals in Moscow decreased by 11.0% y-o-y to
       RUB 3,084 million due to the strong base effect in Q1 2022  associated
       with a high utilisation rate at the Lapino-4 COVID treatment  facility
       amid the pandemic.
     • Revenue from out-patient clinics in Moscow and the Moscow Region  rose
       by 5.1% y-o-y to  RUB 641 million on the back  of stronger demand  for

           Key events during Q1 2023 and after the reporting period:

    

     • Medical centre  opened  in  the Moscow  Region.  On  13 January  2023,
       MD Medical  Group   opened   a   new   out-patient   medical   centre,
       Mother & Child Mytishchi, with a capacity of up to 24,000 appointments
       per   year.   Total    investments   in   the    project   stood    at
       around RUB 23 million.
     • Launching the procedure for changing the GDR programme depositary.  On
       10 April 2023, MD Medical  Group launched the  procedure for  changing
       the depositary bank that  administers the Company’s Global  Depositary
       Receipts (GDR) programme. RCS  Issuer Services S.A.R.L. was  appointed
       as  the   new  depositary   bank.  This   process  will   take   about
       120 days 1  1 .

                        Mark Kurtser, CEO at MDMG, said:

   “We made a  head start  in 2023,  demonstrating the  Company’s ability  to
   adjust to the changing market environment and delivering strong  operating
   performance.

   “In Q1 2023,  we continued  building up  capabilities in  our  traditional
   areas. In  particular, we  ran  15% more  IVF cycles y-o-y,  with  revenue
   growing by 29%.

   “Despite  a  certain  demographic   decline  nationwide,  our  growth   in
   deliveries amounted to 10% in the first quarter, mainly driven by regional
   hospitals. As an  example, MD Group Lakhta  hospital in St Petersburg  has
   already achieved a  30% utilisation  rate in the  first year  of its  core
   operations and is up for further  growth. In Q1 2023, the regional  growth
   of revenue in deliveries was 41%.

   “It is also worthy of note that children’s healthcare keeps growing,  with
   its revenue for the period up by 15%.

   “Despite the  expected  decrease  in  COVID-19  diagnostic  and  treatment
   services, we  see stable  demand in  non-core multidisciplinary  segments,
   such as  oncology, trauma  care,  and therapy.  In  Q1 2023,  the  Group’s
   Revenue growth, excluding the impact of COVID-19, was 11%.

   “We keep  developing our  business and  solidifying our  positions in  the
   existing markets. We have  already started the  construction of a  nuclear
   medical centre at the  Lapino medical cluster and  a clinical hospital  in
   Domodedovo, as well as multidisciplinary clinic in Moscow.

   “Capitalising on the solid  results of the  reporting period, we  continue
   increasing the utilisation rate at our existing hospitals and building new
   assets to support sustainable growth going forward.”

   Hospitals in Moscow

   In Q1 2023, revenue, including other revenue 3  3 , from Moscow  hospitals
   declined by 11.0% y-o-y to RUB 3,084 million, mainly driven by a  decrease
   in COVID-19 diagnostic and treatment services amid the pandemic  slowdown,
   with a y-o-y drop in the number of in-patient days and out-patient  visits
   by 4.9%  and  1.5%,  respectively. In  addition,  revenue  was  negatively
   affected by  fewer deliveries  in  Moscow (down  4.4%  y-o-y) due  to  the
   overall downward trend in Russia’s birth rate.

   A decrease in revenue from COVID-19 diagnostic and treatment services  and
   revenue from delivery services was partly offset by a 36.4% y-o-y spike in
   revenue from IVF thanks to  the post-pandemic demand recovery (+14.7%  IVF
   cycles y-o-y),  as well  as  stronger demand  for treatment  unrelated  to
   women’s and  children’s  healthcare  (the number  of  in-patient  days  in
   traumatology, oncology,  and  therapy  was up +64.1%,  +18.7%  and  +22.1%
   y-o-y, respectively).

   Significant growth of the average IVF  ticket by 18.9% y-o-y came from  an
   increase in  the  number of  IVF  services provided  using  new  treatment
   standards (EmbryoScope), as well as higher reliance on donor materials.

   The average ticket for in-patient  treatments fell by 11.1% y-o-y,  mainly
   driven by a drop in  the number of COVID-19  intensive care beds amid  the
   pandemic slowdown. 

   Hospitals in regions

   In  Q1 2023,  regional   hospitals’  revenue  grew   by  14.4%  y-o-y   to
   RUB 1,669 million, driven mainly  by a  26.1% y-o-y  surge in  deliveries,
   with revenue from this business line up 41.4% y-o-y.

   A considerable increase in  the number of deliveries  came on the back  of
   Tyumen-1  and  Samara-based  IDK hospital  gradually  progressing  towards
   design capacity (with utilisation rates  going up 2.4 p.p. y-o-y to  28.0%
   and 2.9 p.p. y-o-y to 45.0%, respectively),  as well as strong results  of
   the new MD Group Lakhta hospital in St Petersburg, which achieved a  30.5%
   utilisation rate in the reporting period.

   The 12.1% y-o-y increase in the average ticket for deliveries in  regional
   hospitals was mainly driven by indexed prices.

   Revenue growth was also significantly fuelled by an increase in the number
   of IVF cycles (up 9.8% y-o-y) amid the post-pandemic demand recovery, with
   revenue rising by 27.9% y-o-y in  this segment. The growth of the  average
   IVF ticket by  16.4% was supported  by an  increase in the  number of  IVF
   services provided using new treatment standards (EmbryoScope).

   Out-patient clinics in Moscow and Moscow Region

   In Q1 2023, revenue from clinics in  Moscow and the Moscow Region rose  by
   5.1% y-o-y to RUB 641 million. Revenue growth in the reporting period  was
   mainly attributable to a 7.7% y-o-y  increase in the number of IVF  cycles
   amid the post-pandemic demand recovery.

   Out-patient clinics in regions

   In Q1 2023, revenue from regional out-patient clinics rose by 23.0%  y-o-y
   to RUB 823 million.  Revenue growth  was  attributable to  the  recovering
   demand, with IVF cycles up 21.0% y-o-y. On a positive note, we opened  the
   Novosibirsk Centre  for  Reproductive  Medicine renovated  in  1H 2022  in
   addition to strong results of the clinic  with a focus on IVF launched  in
   Yekaterinburg in November 2022.

   The growth of the average  IVF ticket by 13.4%  y-o-y was supported by  an
   increase in  the  number of  IVF  services provided  using  new  treatment
   standards (EmbryoScope).

   The reporting period saw a spike in attendance (up 16.9% y-o-y) along with
   a 5.4% drop  in the average  ticket on the  back of the  growing share  of
   telemedicine in total visits.

   Net cash position

   As at  31 March  2023, the  Group’s  debt represented  entirely  by  lease
   liabilities declined from the 31 December 2022 level by RUB 27 million  to
   RUB 623 million. As a result, as at 31 March 2023, the Company’s net  cash
   position amounted to RUB 5,539 million.

   Capex

   Total Capex declined  by 72.9%  y-o-y to RUB 149 million  in Q1 2023.  The
   hospital segment  accounts  for  the  bulk of  Capex  (69.8%),  while  the
   construction of new clinics and ongoing maintenance make up 30.2% of total
   Capex.

   In the reporting  period, the  Group opened  the Mother & Child  Mytishchi
   medical centre with a focus on antenatal care.

   The Lapino-3 nuclear medical centre  (part of the Lapino medical  cluster)
   and the Domodedovo multi-functional hospital are in their designing cycle,
   both expected to  be launched in  2025. Their estimated  Capex amounts  to
   approximately RUB 8.5 billion.

   In Q4 2023, multidisciplinary clinic is expected to be launched in  ZILART
   residential  complex   in  Moscow.   Its   estimated  Capex   amounts   to
   approximately RUB 78 million.
