Market Outlook
As the world emerges from the pandemic, we expect some short-term headwinds such as
rising staff costs and inflationary pressures. We remain committed to deliver on our new
‘Care. For Good.‘ Strategy to provide sustainable growth and continue the journey to improve
returns for our stakeholders.
Current Trends
Economic landscape The global economy is expected to grow by 4.4 per cent in 2022, slowing from 5.9 per cent in 2021. In 2023,
growth is forecast at 3.8 per cent.
As a result of rising energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and widespread wage pressures, inflation has been
higher and more broad-based than expected, especially in many emerging and developing economies. Inflation
is expected to remain elevated. It is anticipated that inflation will result in higher operational costs at IHH, partly
as a result of salary competitiveness pressures.
As we move into an endemic period for COVID-19, government healthcare spending is expected to increase
in Malaysia and Singapore. Healthcare expenditure in Malaysia could reach RM 91.1 billion by 2025 with a 5-year
compound annual growth rate of 7.6 per cent in local currency terms and 8.9 per cent in US currency terms.
Singapore is anticipating an increase in healthcare expenditures as it transitions towards living with COVID-19.
Although private healthcare will remain in high demand, affordability of healthcare will continue to be a priority.
Strong demand for The elderly population of Asia is expected to reach more than 923 million by 2050. As life expectancy, chronic disease
private healthcare and co-morbidity rise in the region, the demand for private healthcare will rise substantially. As of 2017, Asia’s
healthcare spending totalled US$1.69 trillion. By 2026, it is expected to jump to US$2.27 trillion. Mass affluent
income is projected to grow from 57 million to 137 million in the ASEAN region alone by 2030, accounting for
21 per cent of the combined population. The rising affluence of patients demands personalised, efficient and
seamless healthcare experiences, and IHH must be ready to take advantage of these opportunities.
COVID-19 Impact The healthcare industry must adapt nimbly to disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics, by stepping up security
measures and enhancing protections. Such health crises will likely increase the cost of staffing and consumables.
We do this to prevent cross-infections and ensure the safety of our staff, patients, and visitors. During times like
these, doctors and patients will likely postpone non-urgent procedures, thus impacting the healthcare industry financially.
Health systems worldwide are under pressure from this pandemic, including IHH. Our staff and patients, particularly
those working on the frontline, are at risk.
Nevertheless, in 2021, the situation was dynamic and evolving. IHH steadily saw a gradual recovery in the local
patient population. A rise in medical tourism is also expected due to the easing of border restrictions such as with
the implementation of Singapore’s Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) programme.
Long-Term Trends
Shifting preference As a result of COVID-19, consumers feel challenged and increasingly determined to become more active, engaged,
to digitally enabled, and empowered in managing their healthcare needs. Increasingly, consumers are using technology for monitoring
convenient and their health. Consumers use virtual visits more than ever before, and most say they will continue to do so.
seamless clinician-
patient interactions
The Group expects pressure from staff costs from the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals
as we position ourselves for the recovery of business as usual (BAU) services.
To further grow our business performance, we will take the following steps:
• We will make healthcare better by using our global scale to extract synergies and improve operating
efficiencies to become a one IHH network.
• Enabling efficient capital growth by identifying and evaluating new and existing cluster opportunities
that are earnings accretive to IHH.
• We are extending existing revenue streams into new areas through our laboratory services and
partnerships with public health organisations.
• A patient-centric digital transformation roadmap will be implemented to deliver better, seamless, and
more affordable care to our patients over the next few years.
• A compelling sustainability agenda to care for patients by empowering them, care for our people by
shaping the best place for them to work at, care for the public by doing good for our communities and
care for the planet by making responsible choices to protect our planet’s health.
• As we stay guided by our vision to be the world’s most trusted healthcare services network, we remain on a
strong and sustainable growth trajectory in the new normal.
Our growth strategy is driven by five engines. We will examine these areas to provide sustainable growth
for stakeholders, including patients, people and the public:
• Recovering from COVID-19: Increasing volumes and occupancy to pre-pandemic levels as situation normalises.
• Achieving organic growth: Improving bed occupancy and utilisation of existing capacity.
• Acquiring strategic assets: According to cluster strategy and to adjacent markets.
• Developing our laboratory business: As a global laboratory platform.
• Driving innovation and digital transformation: Through digital and health tech platforms with US$100 million
allocated from 2022-2025.
IHH has remained agile in adapting to COVID-19. By diversifying our business services, such as improving
our laboratory business, which helps with COVID-19 testing, we can create new revenue streams. As proof
points of our commitment to combating COVID-19, we have also undertaken several COVID-19 related
services, such as taking in COVID-19 patients, vaccination projects, border screenings, and on-arrival tests.
In addition, IHH’s revenue streams are diversified across geographies. In markets such as Turkey and India,
where COVID-19 related services dropped in Q3 2021, it experienced a rebound in non-COVID core business
due to the high demand for private health care.
Market Outlook
Long-Term Trends
Greater demand for Treatment care and cost transparency are essential to consumers. The majority of patients want to know how well
transparency they will be treated and their outcomes.
Recruitment and In recent years, the demand for skilled healthcare professionals has significantly risen, and the COVID-19 pandemic
retention of skilled has elevated this demand even more. As a result of burnout, about 1,500 healthcare workers resigned in Singapore
healthcare professionals during the first half of 2021, compared to 2,000 annually before the pandemic. According to the World Health
amid a competitive Organization and the World Bank, a shortage of 18 million healthcare workers is projected to occur worldwide
landscape by 2030. About 4.7 million additional health workers will be needed in Southeast Asia alone to achieve adequate
coverage. With this rise in demand for skilled and effective professionals, labour costs have also increased over the
years. Many healthcare providers are challenged to deliver effective and efficient services due to labour shortages
and higher costs.
Even though IHH remains well staffed, we are aware of the increased pressure on employees, especially frontline
workers, especially due to the pandemic. Given the rapid increase in the number of people and their growing needs,
we must find solutions to reduce labour-intensive tasks and improve overall productivity in the healthcare industry.
Geopolitical Tensions International companies can be exposed to business risks as a result from the escalating geopolitical tensions.
With current tensions in Europe and Asia, this disrupt supply chains and result in rising commodity and energy prices.
The economic implication of the tension and potential sanctions remain unclear. However, many organisations are
proactively managing the business risks arising from the situation.
Digital adoption / As healthcare service providers merge and consolidate their operations to maximise economies of scale, the industry
transformation is set in a competitive landscape. New disruptive services might change how patients consume healthcare services
in hospitals due to the speed with which healthcare companies and start-ups are adopting technology.
Public and private Healthcare demand and supply are mismatched globally, from drug shortages to protective equipment shortages,
partnership especially during the COVID-19 crisis. COVID-19 underscores the importance of public and private partnerships in
addressing healthcare emergencies efficiently and effectively. For a sound and sustainable healthcare ecosystem,
there must be mutual trust and collaboration between the private and public sectors.
Please refer to our Performance Review starting on Page 56 to see how these trends have impacted each of our home and key markets.
It has been several years since we began developing our Value Driven Outcomes (VDO) initiative. We
have completed setting common core indicators and market benchmarks for four priority procedures
(Knee Replacement Surgery, Knee Ligament Repair Surgery, Cardiac Angioplasty and Colonoscopy).
We have analysed the data to gain more insights into quality and cost of care for improvement.
Our goal is for all our markets to cover the four VDO procedures by 2024 and create a culture of
improvement together with our physician partners.
Over time, the pandemic would likely catalyse redefining expectations of healthcare services and financing
models as government coffers and payers shrink. There is a growing demand for value.
We developed and launched our very own AI-powered billing estimation tool. The AI tool will be used in
most, if not all, of Malaysia’s 16 hospitals by the end of 2022. Pilot tests will also take place at Gleneagles
Hospital Hong Kong.
We ensure competitive remuneration packages and career development opportunities for our employees,
we leverage technology and innovation to increase productivity. We continue to attract and retain top talent
thanks to our well-established reputation and cross-country exchange programs between our business units.
By increasing digitalisation, innovation, and technology.
Maintaining a positive mindset and constant upskilling are the cornerstones of our culture. We host a
Quality Summit where our employees present innovative projects from different markets every year.
Winning projects are selected for implementation so that the Group can improve productivity standards.
Our nurses are provided with stress and anxiety management tools through wellness programs.
The successful roll out of Cerebral Plus (C+) in some of IHH Malaysia’s hospitals can now offer greater
convenience, allowing our employees to focus on tasks that matter.
One of our approaches is to establish natural hedges of our future borrowings to match our investments,
preventing any mismatch in earnings with debt service. We reduce our dependence on a single market
by diversifying across our markets. The effect is to offset cyclical dips in one market with gains in another.
With our strong portfolio of cash-generating assets and strong cash flow generation in developed markets,
we are well-positioned to support our growth in emerging markets such as Malaysia, Turkey, India, and
Greater China. Please refer to pages 52 to 55 for our GCFO’s message.
Our capabilities and capacity to handle more complex medical cases have been strengthened. We are
bringing out better technologies, which will help us treat conditions in a less invasive ways and give
our patients a better quality of life. For example, Gleneagles Global Hospitals, Parel was the first Mumbai
hospital to successfully perform a bilateral hand transplant. Following the surgery, the patient could regain
95% of her hand function and lead an independent and normal life.
Our complementary digital ecosystem and services continue to be enhanced, and we have recently partnered
with a regional digital healthcare company, Doctor Anywhere (DA). The end-to-end digital platform allows
patients to schedule and receive virtual consultations with a doctor from anywhere and at any time. As a
result of this partnership with DA, we can expand our digital ecosystem to better serve our clients with a
full range of healthcare services.
With our international network, IHH is ready to be an extension of public healthcare systems and lend
our support to patients where we can. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, IHH was among the
first healthcare groups to take in COVID-19 patients. In 2021, we continued to enhance our public and
private partnership offerings.
Turkey’s Dalaman YDA Airport Acibadem PCR Laboratory has been operating since 1 June 2021 and
performs PCR tests for passengers 24/7.
Singapore’s Changi Airport Group awarded Parkway Laboratory Services the contract to provide
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests for arrival travellers at Changi Airport from November 2021.

entwined with one another and with IHH's five sustainability pillars. The map below illustrates this:

Principal Risks
With a well-designed risk management system, the Group is able to identify, track, and
mitigate the principal risks associated with our operations. As a result of this system,
the Group is equipped to make informed decisions, ensuring that all risks are managed
in a manner consistent with expectations and returns.

Operational disease outbreaks.
Global supply chains continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic amid virus
mutations in 2021, causing uncertainty across industries and sectors.
In the midst of the ongoing pandemic, the Group faces government directives, movement
restrictions, and changes in patient behaviour in the countries where we operate,
affecting patient volume and affordability due to the global economic downturn.

Technology As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical and technological advancements in the
healthcare industry have accelerated, thus intensifying cybersecurity threats.
Even as the Group strives to build a trust culture, leakage of personal and confidential
data would cause reputational damage and adversely affect revenue.
Climate change presents new risks to the Group. Aside from physical risks such as
Environmental, flooding that may threaten our healthcare facilities, and climate-related disease burdens,
social, and the Group is vulnerable to transition risks that might arise from society’s response to
climate change. For example, increasing stakeholder expectations on sustainability

Financial equivalents, receivables and payables, loans and borrowings denominated in currencies
other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The volatility of exchange
rates could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and prospects.
Volatile currencies include the Turkish Lira, whose value has depreciated by approximately
40% against the US dollar since 2021. The net import economy was thereby put under
upward inflationary pressure, which had the effect of increasing costs and eroding margins if
price adjustments were asymmetric. Since many of our entities have functional currencies
other than the Malaysian Ringgit, the Group is also exposed to currency translation risks.
In addition to the Turkish Lira, the Singapore Dollar followed by the Indian Rupee are the
principal foreign currencies we use in business.

The Group’s key mitigating strategy involves diversifying our business model and geographic focus. • Regulatory Compliance

Before me:
Commissioner for Oaths
Emphasis of Matter
1 We draw attention to Note 46 to the financial statements on the ongoing investigation by Serious Fraud Investigation Office
(“SFIO”) on Fortis Healthcare Limited (“Fortis”) and its subsidiaries (“Fortis Group”). Fortis Group has been submitting all information
required by the various investigating agencies and is fully cooperating in the investigations/inquiries.
As explained in the aforesaid note, the outcome of the investigation cannot be predicted at this juncture and the financial impact
to the Group, if any, will only be recognised in the period that the outcome is known.
2 We draw attention to Note 47(a) to the financial statements on the judgment dated 15 November 2019 by the Supreme Court of
India (“Judgment”), relating to the issuance of a suo-moto contempt notice to, amongst others, Fortis, and directed its Registry to
register a fresh contempt petition in regard to alleged violation of its order dated 14 December 2018.
Since the issuance of the Judgment, several parties have filed applications before the Supreme Court, in attempts to seek remedies
for themselves. On 5 March 2020, Northern TK Venture Pte. Ltd., the immediate holding company of Fortis filed the necessary
applications to intervene in the aforementioned Supreme Court proceedings.
As stated in the said aforesaid note, the Group believes that it has a strong case on merits. The ultimate outcome of the Supreme
Court proceedings is unknown at this juncture and therefore the potential impact, if any, to the Group’s financial statements
cannot be determined.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the aforesaid matters.

MFRSs, interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date yet
to be confirmed
• Amendments to MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and MFRS 128, Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
(vi) Associates
Associates are entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less
any impairment losses. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements
include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates, after adjustments if
any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until
the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest including
any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent
that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate.
When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former associate
at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initial carrying
amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any retained interest plus proceeds from the
interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity method is discontinued is
recognised in the profit or loss.
When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained
interest is not remeasured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains
or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss
if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
Investments in associates are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment
losses. The cost of investment includes transaction costs.
Financial liabilities
Except for liabilities on put options granted to non-controlling interests, the categories of financial liabilities at initial
recognition are as follows:
Phase 1 amendments: Prior to interest rate benchmark reform – when there is uncertainty arising from Interest rate
benchmark reform
For the purpose of evaluating whether there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the
hedging instruments, the Group assumes that the benchmark interest rate is not altered as a result of interest rate
benchmark reform.
For a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, the Group assumes that the benchmark interest rate will not be
altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform for the purpose of assessing whether the forecast transaction
is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss. In
determining whether a previously designated forecast transaction in a discontinued cash flow hedge is still expected
to occur, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark cash flows designated as a hedge will not be altered as
a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
The Group will cease to apply the specific policy for assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item
and the hedging instrument (i) to a hedged item or hedging instrument when the uncertainty arising from interest rate
benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of contractual cash flows of the
respective item or instrument or (ii) when the hedging relationship is discontinued. For its highly probable assessment
of the hedged item, the Group will no longer apply the specific policy when the uncertainty arising from interest rate
benchmark reform about the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-based future cash flows of the
hedged item is no longer present, or when the hedging relationship is discontinued.
Phase 2 amendments: Replacement of benchmark interest rates – when there is no longer uncertainty arising from
interest rate benchmark reform
When the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument changes as a
result of interest rate benchmark reform and therefore there is no longer uncertainty arising about the cash flows of the
hedged item or the hedging instrument, the Group amends the hedge documentation of that hedging relationship to
reflect the change(s) required by interest rate benchmark reform. A change in the basis for determining the contractual
cash flows is required by interest rate benchmark reform if the following conditions are met:
– the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and
– the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis –
i.e. the basis immediately before the change.
(vi) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or transferred, or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference
between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the sum of consideration received (including any new asset
obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or expires. A financial liability is also derecognised when its terms are modified and the cash
flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case, a new financial liability based on modified terms
is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(vii) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position
when, and only when, the Group or the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it
intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are
assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component
is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of
an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for use. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Property, plant and equipment under construction (construction-in-progress) are not depreciated until the assets are
ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
• Buildings 5 – 60 years
• Hospital and medical equipment, renovations, furniture and fittings and equipment 3 – 25 years
• Laboratory and teaching equipment 2 – 10 years
• Motor vehicles 4 – 8 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and adjusted
as appropriate.
(b) As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an
operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance
lease; if not, then it is an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies MFRS 15, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, to allocate the consideration in the contract based on the stand-alone selling prices.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease
separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the ROU asset arising from the
head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group
applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sublease as an operating lease.
(b) As a lessor
The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over
the lease term as part of “revenue”.
The Group recognises finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate
of return on the Group’s net investment in the lease. The Group aims to allocate finance income over the lease
term on a systematic and rational basis. The Group applies the lease payments relating to the period against the
gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income. The net investment
in the lease is subject to impairment requirements in MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (see note 2(o)(i)).
(iv) Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual value.
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets
from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
• Customer relationships 5 – 20 years
• Capitalised development costs 5 – 10 years
• Brand use rights remaining term of the right
• Other intangibles 2 – 10 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted,
if appropriate.
Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not amortised
but are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.
Completed properties
Completed properties comprise completed development properties held for sale. It is stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less cost to be incurred in selling the properties.
(j) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase and other
costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their existing location and condition. Due allowance is made for all damaged,
expired and slow moving items.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to
make the sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the
related revenue is recognised. The amount of any allowance for write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all
losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal
of any allowance for write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised as a reduction
in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
(o) Impairment
(i) Financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost,
debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets and lease receivables.
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss, except for debt securities
that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date, cash and bank balance and other debt securities for
which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, which are measured at 12-month expected
credit loss. Loss allowances for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables are always measured at an
amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and
when estimating expected credit loss, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant
and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis,
based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information,
where available.
(z) Contingencies
(i) Contingent liabilities
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated
reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and is disclosed as a contingent liability,
unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only
be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent
liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Valuation processes
In determining the fair value, the valuers have used valuation methods which involved certain estimates. In assessing the fair
value measurements, the Group reviewed the valuation methodologies and evaluated the assessments made by the valuers. The
Group exercised its judgement and was satisfied that the valuation methods and estimates were reflective of the current market
conditions. The valuation reports were prepared in accordance with recognised appraisal and valuation standards.
The following table shows the valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values of investment properties, as well as the
significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation models.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill, brand names and hospital licences
(a) Healthcare services and Education services CGUs
Key assumptions used in determining recoverable amount
For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amounts are allocated to the Group’s operating divisions which are the
cash-generating units (“CGU”). Recoverable amount of each CGU, except for PLife REIT, is estimated based on its value in
use. The value in use calculations apply a discounted cash flow model using cash flow projections based on past experience,
actual operating results, approved financial budgets for 2022 and 5 years business plans.
The key assumptions for the computation of value in use of goodwill, brand names and hospital licences included the following:
(i) Anticipated annual revenue growth rates for 2022 to 2026 (2020: 2021 to 2025):
2021 2020
Per annum Per annum
2021 2020
The projections were in line with the proposed expansion plans for the respective CGUs.
(iii) Terminal value was estimated using the perpetuity growth model:
2021 2020
The terminal values were applied to steady-state estimated earnings at the end of the projected period.
(iv) Discount rates based on cost of capital plus an appropriate risk premium for the respective CGUs at date of assessment:
2021 2020
(v) There will be no other significant changes in government policies and regulations which will directly affect the CGUs’
businesses. Inflation for operating expenses is in line with estimated gross domestic product growth rates for the
respective countries based on past trends.
* Goodwill for RGE Group was fully impaired in 2020.
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent the Group’s assessment of future trends in the healthcare and education
market and are based on both external sources and internal sources (historical data).

RM’000 RM’000
a) Fortis
The Group controls majority of Fortis’ board by virtue of the share subscription agreement with Fortis.
c) PLife REIT
The Group has de facto control over PLife REIT, on the basis that the remaining voting rights in PLife REIT are widely
dispersed and there is no indication all other shareholders exercise their votes collectively.
The Group, via PLife REIT, does not hold any ownership interest in the special purpose entities (“SPEs”) listed in note 42.
Notwithstanding that the Group does not have any direct or indirect shareholdings in these SPEs, the Group has accounted for
the SPEs as subsidiaries in accordance with MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, as PLife REIT receives substantially
all of the returns related to the SPEs’ operations and net assets and has the current ability to direct these SPEs’ activities that
most significantly affect their returns based on the terms of agreements under which these SPEs were established.
PLife REIT
The Group does not have significant restrictions on its ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of PLife REIT other
than those resulting from the regulatory framework within which the subsidiary operates. PLife REIT is regulated by the Monetary
Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) and is supervised by the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) for compliance
with the Singapore Listing Rules. Under the regulatory framework, transactions with PLife REIT are either subject to review by
PLife REIT’s Trustee or must be approved by a majority of votes by the remaining holders of Units in PLife REIT (“Unitholders”) at
a meeting of Unitholders.
The assets of PLife REIT are held in trust by a Trustee for the Unitholders. As at 31 December 2021, the carrying amounts of PLife REIT’s
assets and liabilities were RM5,120,073,000 (2020: RM4,950,435,000) and RM2,950,614,000 (2020: RM2,830,193,000) respectively.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be
available against which the respective subsidiaries can utilise the benefits therefrom. Tax losses are subject to agreement by the
tax authorities and compliance with tax regulations in the countries in which the subsidiaries operate.
The unutilised tax losses carried forward do not expire under current tax legislations, except for the amount of RM1,573,572,000

Trade receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations
are performed on major customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Self-pay customer may be requested to place an
initial deposit or obtain a letter of guarantee at the time of admission to the hospital. Additional deposit is requested from the
customer when the hospital charges exceed a certain level.
At the end of each reporting date, the Group assesses whether any of the trade receivables are credit impaired.
The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partially or fully) when there is no
realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have the assets
or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amount subject to the write-off. Nevertheless,
trade receivables that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.
There are no significant changes as compared to previous year.

Impairment losses
The Company determines the probability of default from these receivables individually using internal information available.
The Company considers these receivable balances as low credit risk unless there is a significant increase in credit risk when
a subsidiary’s financial position deteriorates significantly or the balance is overdue for more than 365 days. As at the end of
the reporting period, the ECL allowance on these low-credit-risk balances is insignificant.
Financial guarantees
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provided unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities and cross currency swaps

The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the abilities of the borrowing entities to service their loans and CCS obligations
on an individual basis.
Maturity analysis
The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate
to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group ensures that it has
sufficient cash and available undrawn credit facilities to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of
financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such
as natural disasters.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly
different amounts.
The following table provides the maturity profile of the Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities as at the end of the
reporting period. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact
of netting arrangements:

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency movements on its net
income denominated in Japanese Yen from its investments in Japan. Where necessary, the foreign exchange forward
contracts are rolled over at maturity.
The Group actively monitors its foreign currency risk and minimises such risk by borrowing in the functional currency of the
borrowing entity or by borrowing in the same currency as the foreign investment (i.e. natural hedge of net investments).
The Group also enters in cross currency interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps to realign borrowings to the
same currency of the Group’s foreign investments to achieve a natural hedge (see note 36(vii)).
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the functional currencies, the Group
ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rate where
necessary to address short term imbalances.
The nominal value and fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts, cross currency swaps and cross currency
interest rate swaps are disclosed in note 25.

Sensitivity analysis
A 10% (2020: 10%) strengthening of the following currencies against the respective functional currencies of the Group
entities at the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss before tax by the amounts
shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores
any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

A 10% (2020: 10%) weakening of the above currencies against the respective functional currencies of the Group entities
at the end of the reporting period would have an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts
shown above, on the basis that all other variables remained constant.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts as well as by rolling over its
fixed deposits and variable rate borrowings on a short-term basis. In respect of long-term borrowings, the Group may
enter into interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to adverse movements in interest rates.
Interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate caps have been entered into to achieve an
appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposures within the Group’s policy (see note 36(vii)).
The nominal value and fair value of the interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate caps
are disclosed in note 25.
Hedging relationships that are impacted by interest rate benchmark reform may experience ineffectiveness because
the uncertainty about when and how replacement may occur for the relevant hedged item and hedging instrument
due to the interest rate benchmark reform transition. For further details, see ‘Managing interest rate benchmark reform
and associated risks’ below.

The remeasurement to fair value of the Group’s existing 50% interest in DDRC SRL resulted in a gain of RM86,061,000. The amount
was recognised in ‘other operating income’ in profit or loss.
Goodwill on DDRC SRL was attributable mainly to the synergies expected to be achieved by integrating the entities into the
Group's existing diagnostic business. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Property, plant and equipment Market comparison technique and cost technique: The valuation model considers
market prices for similar items when they are available, and depreciated replacement
cost when appropriate. Depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments for
physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.
Intangible assets Cost technique, relief-from-royalty method and multi period excess earnings
method: The cost technique considers the opportunity cost in the process of
obtaining final approval of the hospital license. The relief-from-royalty method
considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be
avoided as result of the patents or trademarks being owned. The multi period excess
earnings method considers the forecasted revenues of the intangibles after taking
into consideration the impact of the lifespan and competition of the intangibles on
the revenue generated.
