I will start with the general company performance, as the performance of the company is behaving

positively, from operational performance. Company’s utilization, as bed occupancy rate is 60% and is
growing. This means that clinical service of the company is performing good and depending on the
covid-19 pandemic, it is possible to be increased from this kind of external factor and also from
company’s future development plan. I will say that for optimization company is transforming it’s assets
by new assets, as we can see that company is developing and trying to optimize its operations by new
assets. Also company is going to fully digitalize the service processes and make automate. This fully
integrated health information system will help company and employees to manage customers on an
integrated level. For managers this kind of solution is good for management control and decision making
for development.

About financial performance of the company I can say that, the revenue of the company has lowered
from past year from 74.8 mln to 70.8 mln. We can say that this maybe was caused of locking down the
borders of the countries as medical customers were coming from other countries as well and there was
almost 0 customer for 2020 year. The EBITDA margins were lowered from 25.6% to 20.8%, but company
has good predictions for future, as they are adding some investments in company, as they are creating
some new services, that is not yet developed in Georgia and this will increase their profitability I think.

From my IFAS & EFAS and key success factors tables I can add some points that company has to work on
and keep its market leader position strongly. First of all, as customer I think that, company’s one of the
biggest competitor Aversi Group has much better brand recognition and positioning in market as GHG is
not spending their funds in marketing and customer relations activities as Aversi. Their brand
recognition is lower, maybe because, they have arrived in Georgian market at 2015 and Aversi was
market leader up to 2016-17. GHG should invest some funds in this criteria as well.

Also it will be important to work on clinical tourism with more power as the leading countries with
strong medical care sectors are because of medical tourism and this is not easy and short run task. The
main barrier for making this kind of service successful is to get experienced and professional medical
staff, that are not only experienced but also well known medicals.
