AEVIS VICTORIA SA has announced the successful completion of a comprehensive refinancing program across multiple levels of the Group. This strategic initiative represents a significant step in the company's ongoing efforts to optimize its capital and financing structure, with implications for its operations across healthcare, hospitality, and infrastructure sectors.
At the holding company level, AEVIS arranged a new syndicated financing facility that enhances the Group's overall financial flexibility and liquidity profile. This facility provides the corporate parent with improved access to capital for strategic initiatives and operational needs. Within the real estate segment, the company completed the refinancing of an interim facility originally established in 2020 to finance the acquisition of several hotel assets. This interim financing has been replaced with long-term, traditional mortgage financings that strengthen the stability of the Group's balance sheet. Additionally, AEVIS successfully secured a new financing facility specifically for L'Oscar Hotel in London, demonstrating the company's continued investment in its luxury hospitality portfolio.
Collectively, these transactions extend and diversify the Group's debt maturity profile. When combined with the significant reduction of the Group's consolidated debt by more than CHF 100 million in the first half of 2025, these refinancing measures are expected to materially reduce the Group's cost of debt and financial expenses. The company anticipates interest expense savings in the high single-digit million range on an annualized basis, representing substantial financial optimization that will benefit the company's bottom line.
The refinancing program has particular significance given AEVIS's diversified investment portfolio. The company invests in healthcare through Swiss Medical Network Holding SA, the only Swiss private network of hospitals present in the country's three main language regions. In hospitality and lifestyle, AEVIS operates through MRH Switzerland AG, a luxury hotel group managing eleven hotels in Switzerland and abroad, and Swiss Hotel Properties SA, a hospitality real estate division. The company also maintains infrastructure investments through Infracore SA, a real estate company dedicated to healthcare-related infrastructure, and operates NESCENS SA, a brand dedicated to better aging. AEVIS is listed on the Swiss Reporting Standard of the SIX Swiss Exchange under the symbol AEVS.SW, with more information available at https://www.aevis.com.
This refinancing initiative demonstrates AEVIS's proactive approach to financial management during a period of economic uncertainty. By securing more favorable financing terms and extending debt maturities, the company positions itself for greater stability and growth potential across its diverse business segments. The reduction in financial expenses will free up capital that can be reinvested in core operations or used to pursue strategic opportunities in the healthcare, hospitality, and infrastructure markets where AEVIS maintains significant presence. For stakeholders, including investors and business partners, this refinancing represents a strengthening of the company's financial foundation and improved prospects for sustainable value creation.
