The syndicate of banks that signed the credit limit increase is formed by Banca Comercială Română (BCR) – as coordinator, lead arranger, documentation agent, facility and guarantee agent, also acting as lender -, as well as other credit institutions: Raiffeisen Bank, BRD Groupe Société Générale and Banca Transilvania, as lead arrangers and lenders, and ING Bank N.V. Amsterdam Bucharest Branch, as lender.
„Since the listing until now, MedLife has been an acquisitive company, with excellent results both in terms of acquiring new companies and in terms of their integration processes. As a result, the Group has recorded turnover increases of over 20% on average in the past 5 years, driven by both organic developments and acquisitions. 2024 was a year dedicated to consolidation and, despite a much slower economic growth at national level, we managed to improve the Group’s financial and operational performance, as well as reduce the level of indebtedness”, said Mihai Marcu, Chairman and CEO of MedLife Group.
In 2024, the company’s pro-forma consolidated turnover reached over RON2.7 billion (EUR555 million), up 25% compared to 2023.
„As lead arranger, BCR coordinated the structuring of a flexible financing package tailored to the needs of a group undergoing an accelerated growth phase. We believe in MedLife’s strategy and are proud to contribute to a project that is shaping the future of the healthcare ecosystem in the region, making a meaningful difference both in Romania and beyond”, said Raluca Orha, Head of Loan Syndication BCR.
MedLife last year continued its expansion policy, with Mihai Marcu specifying there will be a period during which the group will put more emphasis on genetics, nutrition, sports and prevention in general. „We firmly believe that these areas are part of the medicine of the future and we will make significant investments in this direction”, said Mihai Marcu, Chairman and CEO of MedLife Group.
The additional funds from the credit will be mainly used to complete already started projects, but also for potential company acquisitions.
In 2025, the Group’s first strategic move focused on consolidating the Corporate segment, with MedLife addressing employers’ needs through new, unique market offerings that combine medical prevention with fitness.
Alongside this initiative, the Group continued its expansion strategy by entering a new market through the acquisition of All Clinic in the Republic of Moldova.
Currently, MedLife Group is one of the largest operators at regional level, already having an active presence in three countries: Romania, Hungary and recently, the Republic of Moldova. In the medium and long term, the company aims to test other markets in the region, the new funds accessed being a reserve in this regard.
MedLife shares have added 7% from the start of the year amid deals worth RON46 million.
