The Night Is Darkest Before The Dawn


Updating estimates for RDOR, ONCO, MATD and KRSA

We are updating estimates for Rede D’Or, Oncoclínicas, Mater Dei, and Kora Saúde and introducing YE23 target prices for the stocks. We are getting increasingly Rafael Barros, CFA
skeptical regarding hospitals’ performance throughout 2023. Our view is backed by: (i) the persistently high MLR levels being borne by payors; (ii) the slowly decreasing Healthcare & Education
growth rate of the health plan market; and (iii) the recent increase in cost of capital paired with high leverage ratios. All in all, we have a conservative view regarding rafael.barros@xpi.com.br
healthcare providers, yet we do see upside potential in some stocks – such as ONCO and MATD.
Raphael Elage
Health plan operators are under pressure. Payors are dealing with all-time-high MLR levels, and we do not see a recovery happening in the short-term, since it will most Healthcare & Education

likely require price increases, mix adjustments, and portfolio churn. To deal with the current situation, health plan operators are increasing the disallowance (“glosas”) raphael.elage@xpi.com.br
rate, extending the payment terms, and adjusting prices below inflation. The measures impact providers’ top-line, margins, and cash conversion cycle.

Macro uncertainty may put a hurdle to market growth. Since 2020 the health plan market has been growing consistently. However, we expect this trend to lose
momentum due to macro uncertainty as unemployment and average household income might be impacted and limit market growth potential.

Indebtedness and interest rates to halt consolidation. Healthcare providers’ leverage ratio increased significantly – to over 5x net debt to EBITDA in a few cases – after
an aggressive consolidation process underwent by the entire sector. Additionally, the 5-year-forward CDI rate increased 6.4 p.p. since 2020 (to 12.3%), hurting the
companies’ bottom-line and marginal cost of capital. We do not see acquisitions playing a relevant role for the hospital segment in the near-term.

Payors’ high MLR is affecting the entire healthcare sector


Profitability deterioration across the board. The healthcare operators are still trying to get back on their feet after the Covid-19 pandemic – especially the second wave – destabilized the entire sector. The
largest players are still bearing concerning MLR levels, and we expect a gradual and slow recovery process, which is likely to take longer than a year, considering that it will require price increases, mix
adjustments, and portfolio churn.

Providers are also taking the toll. In order to circumvent the current pressure, payors are looking for ways to lower costs and to improve the cash cycle. Providers are bearing a higher disallowance (“glosas”)
rate and longer receivables’ cycle. Also, according to our channel checks, hospitals are not being able to pass cost inflation through to payors. In summary, the actions being taken by payors should affect
hospitals’ top-line, margins, and cash generation (consequently hurting financial result).

Higher cost of capital and high leverage – an undesired combination


Figure 06: Forward CDI Rate (%)

Interest rates increased two-fold in three years. The level of long-term interest rates has increased 14%
significantly since January 2020. In three years (from January 2020 to January 2023) the 5-year- 12%

Superb Execution, With Slower Growth Ahead


Introducing YE23 target price of R$28.8 and downgrading to Neutral

We are updating our estimates and introducing a YE23 target price of R$28.8, while downgrading to Neutral rating. On the positive side, Sul América’s acquisition may Rafael Barros, CFA
boost the aggressive organic growth plan the company has. However, we consider that the stock is currently fairly priced, since (i) cost and expense synergies from Healthcare & Education
SULA’s acquisition are limited; (ii) the business tends to become more complex going forward; and (iii) the growth profile of the company might change upon the rafael.barros@xpi.com.br
acquisition. Our target price implies 2024E EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples of 10.0x and 18.1 (vs. 2023E trading multiples of 12.6x and 27.1x, respectively)
Raphael Elage
Sul América reducing the risk of organic expansion. The company plans to deliver 5.9k new beds organically from 2023 to 2025 (+51% vs. YE2022), being 36% of the Healthcare & Education
expansion represented by greenfield projects. We consider the plan risky, since we do not expect the health plan market to sustain its current growth pace. However, raphael.elage@xpi.com.br
we note that the acquisition of SULA gives Rede D’Or a tool to accelerate the ramp-up of the expansion projects.

Synergies are not that straightforward. Since SULA’s and RDOR’s operations are quite different, we consider cost synergies to be almost inexistent and expense
synergies to be very limited. Still, upon the merger, Rede D’Or will be able to free some cash collateral from Sul América by posting some of its properties as collateral,
giving the company flexibility to use these funds.

Delivering the Expected Improvements


Introducing YE23 target price of R$9.3 and maintaining Buy rating

We are updating our estimates and introducing a YE23 target price of R$9.3, while maintaining a Buy rating. Our positive view on the stock is backed by: (i) a business Rafael Barros, CFA
with a more defensive profile, which may suffer less pressure from payors in the current environment; (ii) the company’s quick integration of Unity’s acquisition, which Healthcare & Education
should aid with further margin expansion in the short-term; and (iii) positive optionality from cancer centers, which can increase both margins and average ticket. Our rafael.barros@xpi.com.br
target price implies 2024E EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples of 6.4x and 17.4 (vs. 2023E trading multiples of 7.1x and 36.9x, respectively)
Raphael Elage
Stable demand and advantageous positioning. Amid an uncertain scenario for the healthcare sector, the oncology segment can still perform positively due to its Healthcare & Education
defensive nature. Furthermore, Oncoclínicas seems to be better protected than other providers from the current pressures, since it is not positioned as a premium raphael.elage@xpi.com.br
provider, but as a cost-efficient player that aims at delivering the best outcome possible at a mid-range ticket.

M&A integration ahead of expectations. The acquisition of Unity was concluded in the beginning of 3Q22, and quarterly results already showed margin improvements,
meaning that the company is being able to capture synergies very quickly. We see further room for the company to reduce costs and to dilute expenses, delivering
further margin expansion and earnings growth.
Oncoclínicas (ONCO3) Buy
Cancer centers can yield some extra gains. The company’s hospitals (cancer centers) are still ramping-up, and once operating leverage starts kicking-in, we can expect Target Price (R$/sh.) 9.3
average ticket and margins to increase. Also, the company has plans to open new cancer centers, what we see as a positive optionality to the current thesis. Current Price (R$/sh.) 7.1

We consider the stock undervalued due to the company’s earnings growth prospects.
We see the stock trading close to historical average both on EV/EBITDA and on P/E. Yet, we Figure 18: XP vs. Consensus
consider the stock undervalued due to the company’s short-and-mid-term earnings growth
prospects. XP Consensus XP vs. Consensus

Contrasting our estimates with that of consensus, we are slightly more bullish on EBITDA margin, 2023E 2024E 2023E 2024E 2023E 2024E

A Conservative Approach to Expansion


Updating YE23 target price to R$9.9 and maintaining Buy rating

We are updating our estimates and updating the YE23 target price to R$9.9, while maintaining a Buy rating. Our positive view is driven by: (i) the fact that top-line growth Rafael Barros, CFA
should come entirely from the company’s current hospitals, yielding higher marginal returns; (ii) opportunities to capture synergies from recent acquisitions, with Healthcare & Education
potential to expand both average ticket and margins; and (iii) attractive valuation, trading at the lowest P/E multiple of our hospitals coverage. Our target price implies rafael.barros@xpi.com.br
2024E EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples of 6.2x and 9.4 (vs. 2023E trading multiples of 6.6x and 9.8x, respectively)
Raphael Elage
Growth to yield margin expansion. Mater Dei’s projected top-line growth will come entirely from its current hospitals, meaning that as operations ramp-up we can Healthcare & Education
expect margin and ROIC expansion. Also, the company is conservative regarding the ramp-up of new operations, expecting a 5-to-7-year-period for newer hospitals to raphael.elage@xpi.com.br
become fully mature. This gives us more confidence that management will be able to stay on track with the expansion plans and that both top-line and margins will
increase steadily.

Room for efficiency gains. The company is still capturing synergies from the acquisitions made since its IPO, and, as the integration processes go forward, we expect
average ticket to increase and margins to expand.
Mater Dei (MATD3) Buy
Attractive valuation. The 2023E P/E multiple of 9.8x is the cheapest among hospital providers within our coverage. Thus, we see a larger margin for error in our Target Price (R$/sh.) 9.9
projections for this company compared to what we have for other hospital providers. Current Price (R$/sh.) 7.4

We consider the stock undervalued, as the company combines earnings growth with high returns
We see the stock trading below historical average both on EV/EBITDA and on P/E. Although Figure 23: XP vs. Consensus
attributing a portion of the earnings compression to higher interest rates, we consider the stock
undervalued, since the company combines earnings growth with high ROE and ROIC. XP Consensus XP vs. Consensus

Indebtedness Becomes a Dangerous Villain


Introducing YE23 target price of R$1.3 and downgrading to Neutral

We are updating our estimates and introducing a YE23 target price of R$1.3, while downgrading to Neutral rating. Regardless of seeing a 30% upside potential for the Rafael Barros, CFA
stock, we believe that the risks of the thesis became too high. Our view is backed by the company’s: (i) recent deterioration in operating performance; (ii) leverage ratio Healthcare & Education
of more than 5x EBITDA amid a high interest rate environment; and (iii) lack of room to continue executing its growth strategy. Our target price implies 2024E rafael.barros@xpi.com.br
EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples of 6.1x and 13.1 (vs. 2023E trading multiples of 6.3x and 17.5x, respectively)
Raphael Elage
Pressured operation. In the last quarterly results, Kora showed significant deterioration in its operating performance, with an increase in disallowances (“glosas”), Healthcare & Education
stagnant (or even decreasing) average ticket, extension of receivables’ term, and pressured margins. We do not expect to the company recovering from such condition raphael.elage@xpi.com.br
in the short-term, since this may happen only when payors start enjoying some relief in the MLR levels.

Leverage is beyond uncomfortable. Most hospital operators took on a significant amount of debt to seek inorganic growth, and Kora was no exception to that. We
estimate Kora’s leverage to be 5.2x EBITDA by YE2022 – even considering the sale of approximately R$400M in receivables in late December. We consider that the
company’s current capital structure adds substantial risk to the stock and creates a major drag to bottom-line.
Kora Saúde (KRSA3) Neutral
Expansion seems to be on hold. Kora’s thesis has been highly reliant on acquisitions, following a roll-up strategy. However, we do not see room for the company to Target Price (R$/sh.) 1.3
keep expanding its operation (either organically or inorganically) with the current balance sheet, meaning that if it decides to resume its acquisition strategy, it will Current Price (R$/sh.) 1.0

Main Risks January 24, 2023
Healthcare

Currently, there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding Brazil’s economy. Although being more defensive than other sectors, the
healthcare industry is not entirely immune to a macroeconomic deterioration, what may affect the company’s ability to deliver growth Macro Scenario
and profitability, as well as the return thresholds required by investors.

We are seeing the health plan market decelerate. In case the trend is maintained, we believe that hospitals will face challenges to
maintain a high utilization rate and to make the expansion plans profitable.
Market Growth

Most payors are bearing high MLR levels, and this pressure is passing on to providers as (i) lower than inflation price adjustments, (ii)
longer payment terms, and (iii) higher disallowance (“glosas”) rates. Should payors take longer than expected to recover their margins, Industry Recovery
we expect providers’ financial performance to deteriorate.

Lawmakers recently approved the nursing professionals’ minimum wage, which has the potential to create substantial cost pressure
for healthcare providers. Although the Supreme Court has suspended the law, it is unclear for how long it will remain suspended, and Regulatory Environment
when the suspension is terminated whether the law will be changed.

Hospital operators have made a large number of acquisitions in the last few years, and some of the integration processes are still on
going. In case the integration processes do not go as expected, the companies may not deliver the expected results.
M&A Integration

The sector underwent a consolidation process recently, and we expect this to continue when the macro conditions allow. As the
Competition
sector becomes less fragmented, we expect competition to become fiercer.
