AEVIS VICTORIA SA has announced the successful completion of a comprehensive refinancing program across multiple levels of the Group. This strategic move is part of the company's ongoing efforts to optimize its capital and financing structure, with significant implications for its financial stability and operational flexibility.
At the holding company level, AEVIS arranged a new syndicated financing facility that enhances the Group's overall financial flexibility and liquidity profile. This development is crucial for a company with diverse investments in healthcare, hospitality & lifestyle, and infrastructure sectors. The refinancing demonstrates proactive financial management during a period of economic uncertainty, potentially setting a benchmark for similar Swiss-listed companies.
Within the real estate segment, AEVIS 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, which strengthens the stability of the Group's balance sheet. Additionally, AEVIS successfully secured a new financing facility for L'Oscar Hotel in London, indicating continued investment in its luxury hotel portfolio managed through MRH Switzerland AG.
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 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 operational cost reductions that could improve profitability across its business segments.
The refinancing is particularly important given AEVIS's substantial investments in critical sectors. The company holds 76.3% of Swiss Medical Network Holding SA, the only Swiss private network of hospitals present in the country's three main language regions. It also maintains significant positions in luxury hotel management through MRH Switzerland AG, healthcare infrastructure through Infracore SA, hospitality real estate through Swiss Hotel Properties SA, and better aging services through NESCENS SA. The strengthened financial position supports these diverse operations, which collectively represent AEVIS's commitment to "investing for a better life."
For investors and stakeholders, this refinancing signals improved financial health and strategic foresight. The extended debt maturities provide breathing room for long-term planning, while reduced interest expenses free up capital for potential growth initiatives or further debt reduction. As a company listed on the Swiss Reporting Standard of the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker AEVS.SW, these developments may influence investor confidence in Swiss-listed investment companies with diversified portfolios.
