Performance of operations

The KOS group is one of the top private operators in Italy in the healthcare and care-home sectors. Founded in 2002, KOS today operates in three different areas: nursing homes (RSAs), rehabilitation centres and hospital management (managing a hospital and high-tech services in public and private hospitals).

During 2010 the KOS group achieved an improvement in its main economic indicators compared to 2009, thanks to the development of all of its operating companies and the extension of its portfolio of activities.

In December 2010 the entry was finalized of AXA Private Equity into the capital of the company with a minority interest, currently standing at 41.1%. This deal enabled KOS to reach its objectives in terms of raising new funding for its development plans. The significant investment made by one of the main global private equity funds, together with the renewed commitment of the majority shareholder CIR, shows how the work done by the company to date is appreciated and how there is confidence in its future development prospects.


Consolidated results

In 2010, the KOS group reported consolidated revenues of 325.4 million euro, with a rise of 19% on the year 2009 (273.4 million euro), thanks to the development of all areas of the business and to the new acquisitions made during the year.

The rise compared to the figure at year end 2009 (163.5 million euro) was due mainly to the acquisitions made during the year, which had an impact of over 62 million euro, net of the capital increases made in December for a total of 34.5 million euro.

The KOS group had 4,006 employees at December 31 2010 (3,421 at December 31 2009).
