Message from the CEO

During the year of 2018, the Company remained committed to its purpose of treat with quality, care and cost

efficiency. Among the five largest companies in the country, we maintained the lowest rate of complaints

published by the National Health Agency (ANS), reaching 2.37 complaints per ten thousand beneficiaries,

while the average of the five largest companies was 4,16 complaints (in the industry, the average is 2.82).

Also during 2018 we achieved the highest profitability in the history of the country’s supplementary health

sector with a 17.2% net margin, R$ 788 million net income, a 21.2% growth over 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA

totaled R$ 990 million, an increase of 11.1% compared to 2017. These results are the outcomes of continuous

cost control (decrease of 0.3p.p. in the adjusted loss ratio in the year) and demonstrate how solid our organic

growth is, along with the competitiveness of our product and how strong are our business model pillars.

At the beginning of 2018, we communicated the Company's organic growth strategy, in line with historical

growth, and pointed out the strategy of acquiring companies acting in the North and Northeast regions in

2018, and in other regions from the following year on. Even in an adverse market scenario, we achieved a 5.9%

growth in the number of beneficiaries of health plans, four time bigger than the industry’s top five players

ex-Hapvida, and a 18.6% growth in dental plans. We acquired both the portfolio of about 25 thousand clients

of Uniplam, headquartered in Teresina/PI, and the portfolio of Free Life, with also approximately 25 thousand

clients, based in the Ceará state. With this we reached a market share of medical plans of 29.2% in the

Northeast region and 24.0% in the North region, a growth of 1.5p.p. and 1.7 p.p., respectively. In dental plans

we grew 2.7p.p. in 2018, reaching a 25.5% market share in the North and Northeast regions combined.

The year 2018 was also marked by the implementation of several strategic projects, among which we can

highlight the preventive medicine programs for follow-up of diabetics, people with chronic kidney disease and

pregnant women, the systematization of protocols for emergency care, the process of standardization of

surgical kits, and adjustment of processes for a reduction of 7.2% in hospital stay.

By 2019, the systematization of protocols for ambulatory care and the import of new technologies for

monitoring vital signs of fetuses, pregnant women and adults which will also do the risk assessment when

arrive at our units, among other projects, are already under development. In addition, in 2019, we will begin

the operation of our first hospital in Joinville/SC, one of the most industrialized regions in the country. This

highly complex hospital, located in one of the city’s main avenues, will be our first project to sell health plans

outside Brazil’s North and Northeast regions.

Finally, it is important to mention the Company's focus on innovation. In 2018, the Innovation Committee was

created along with a new directorship to deal specifically with innovation projects. We are preparing for a

more digital reality in medicine and reviewing the entire journey of our customers through the mobile

platform. We believe that technology will bring disruptive changes to our industry and we are preparing to

keep on being the pioneers in the use and improvement of these new technologies. We will continue to pursue

our goal of ensuring access to quality health care, with quality and cost efficiency. This is our mission!

Thank you for the support of our shareholders and the commitment of the directors and the more than 20

thousand employees.

Operating performance

The number of members presented a growth of 5.9%, leading to a market share increase of 1.7p.p. and 1.5p.p.

in the North and Northeast regions respectively when compared to 4Q17. With emphasis for growth in the

states of Bahia, Ceará, Pernambuco and Amazonas.

The average ticket for the health segment showed a 12.2% growth when compared to 2017. It is worth noting

that the sales mix influences the average ticket, since prices are different in each city that the company

operates. In corporate plans, the average ticket can also be influenced by different negotiations and

contractual conditions.

Members (health) Average ticket (health)

The number of members in dental plans presented an annual growth of 18.6% in the last quarter both in North

and Northeast regions. The market share reached 25.5% an increase of 2.7p.p. when compared to 4Q17. It is

worth mentioning that the company seeks to offer dental plans to all corporate clients that already have

contracted health plans, which favors the sale of this product in the North and Northeast regions and explains

the greater market share gain in this region.

Own service network

The company keep focusing on the continuous expansion of its own service network, through acquisitions of

new units, expansion and reform of existing ones and investments in information technology, guaranteeing

the accomplishment of a service focused on the efficiency of customer service and satisfaction of members, as

well as cost efficiency, to maintain the low loss ratio.

Throughout 2018, came into operation two new hospitals (Teresina/PI and Manaus/AM) and four walk-in

emergency units, two units in the state of Pernambuco and two units in the state of Bahia. In this period, three

units were closed or replaced by others with greater capacity, as was the case of Garcia Dávila walk-in

emergency unit, which was closed due to the Rio Poty hospital in Teresina/PI opening. It is worth mentioning

that the own service network capacity expansion also occur due to the opening of beds in units that are already

in operation as happened in Vasco Lucena Hospital in Recife/PE over 2018.

In addition, the company usually maintains an idle capacity in hospitals of major cities to allow growth and

maintain the service quality to health plan members, without increasing the cost.

As expected and widely disclosed by the company in the interactions with the market, the medical loss ratio in

4Q18 (60.6%) showed a reduction of 1.4p.p. when compared to 3Q18, mainly due to the end of the seasonal

viruses period, resulting in the demobilization of the temporary workforce and the consequent reduction of

exams and the use of hospital supplies and medications.

The loss ratio of 2018 reached 59.7%, a 1.3 p.p. growth in relation to 2017, as a result of (i) higher SUS

reimbursement and IBNR, both explained on the next page, (ii) rent with related parties, (iii) cost of new units

and (iv) a higher than estimated cost related to virus period, as previously reported. Additionally, it is important

to highlight the drop of 0.3pp. in the adjusted medical loss ratio of 2018 versus 2017.

Change in IBNR: the provision balance of events occurred but not reported in 2018 presented a reduction of

0.2p.p. in relation to 2017 to 5.5% of the costs of the last 12 months, even with the increase in the costs with

accredited network - due to the expansion strategy to the countryside of some states in the North and

Northeast regions where the company does not operate with its own service network, due to a smaller scale.

* Not adjusted by the cost of the new units of the period.

Change in SUS reimbursement provision: this item does not depend directly from company’s management

and the amount disclosed by ANS is fully provisioned in the result. The SUS reimbursement process followed

by ANS does not have a defined schedule, and occurs in dependence on the internal analysis flow of the agency.

This behavior affected the entire market, with operators generally receiving more significant charges from the

ANS, impacting the need to increase the provision of compensation to SUS. The average term of the expenses

sent by the ANS to the company is approximately 20 months after the procedure by the beneficiary.

Differential of rent with related parties: as disclosed since the IPO, the rental agreements with related parties

were adjusted to reflect the market value calculated by specialized consultants, which is why this item showed

a total increase of R$ 19.5 million in 2018.

Cost of new units, inaugurated in the last 12 months: the opening of the own service network new units

increases the medical loss ratio momentarily, since the initial fixed costs are not entirely diluted in the same

period of the operation start. The company has strategically accelerated the expansion of its service network,

wherein the amount spent in 2018 were four times higher than in 2017, influencing the costs in the short term.

Procedures performed

It is demonstrated below the numberr of procedures performed:

The number of procedures per capita increased by 8.8% in 2018 compared to 2017, mainly due to the higher

intensity of the virus period in 2018, as already announced in the previous disclosures. It is important to

mention that preventive medicine programs initially result in an increase in the number of consultations,

exams and treatments, which later on tend to reduce costly procedures.

Financial performance

Net revenues

Net revenues grew by 18.9% in 2018 when compared to 2017, mainly influenced by (i) an increase of 5.9% in

the number of members of health plans with a 12.2% increase in the average ticket and by (ii) an increase of

18.6% in the number of members of dental plans with a reduction of 1.8% in the average ticket.

Selling expenses

Composed of expenses related to marketing and advertisement, commissions and provision for doubtful

accounts, this item remained at the same level of 2017 when evaluated under the representativeness of net

revenues. As of 4Q18, health plan commissions were adjusted in line with the average terms of their contracts.

The commissions from the individual health plans are now deferred in 32 months instead of 26 months. And

the corporate health plans now have their commissions deferred in the result in 56 months instead of 43

months. The company periodically evaluates the contracts average term, in accordance with the accounting

rules in place.

Administrative expenses

Together with selling expenses, the administrative expenses in 2018 remained stable in relation to net

revenues when compared to the previous year.

It is important to mention that this occurred even with (i) the addition of R$ 15 million in personnel expenses

related to the compensation of controlling shareholders who play an executive role in the company, a matter

informed since the IPO, (ii) the increase in the workforce especially in key areas, such as the area responsible

for integrating new units, management of the own service network and M&A, and (iii) with R$ 5.4 million in

cancellations of certain Uniplam clients, representing the natural churn of individual plans and the cancellation

of corporate clients who provided services to Uniplam and who decided not to be suppliers anymore due to

the internalization of Hapvida services, thus opting to cancel their contracts. This situation was already

expected and was fully priced at the time of acquisition.

The other components of this item - third party services, location and operation, taxes and provision for risks

- remained constant in relation to 2017.

Financial performance (cont.)

Financial result

The financial result was mainly influenced by the net inflow of approximately R$ 2.53 billion in proceeds from

the public offering occurred in 2Q18. With a significant increase in investment positions, the financial result in

2018 was higher than in 2017, partially offset by (i) the reduction in the Selic rate, from 7.4% at the end of

4Q17 to 6.4% at the end of 4Q18 and (ii) the monetary adjustment of tax debts totaling R$ 7.7 million, which

impacted 2Q18 results.

Net income

Net income reached R$ 788.3 million in 2018, an increase of 21.2% over the result recorded in the same period

of the previous year, with a net margin of 17.2%, a slight increase in the same comparison. In 4Q18, net income

grew by 35.1% compared to 4Q17, with an increase of 2.7p.p. in the net margin

IRPJ e CSLL: the effective rate of IR and CSLL recorded in 2018 was 24.4%, 2.9p.p. lower than the rate calculated

in 2017, mainly due to the distribution of R$ 123.9 million as IOC, implying a reduction of R$ 42.1 million in

4Q18.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA

EBITDA: the EBITDA reached R$ 913.0 million in 2018, up 10.7% when compared to 2017, with margin of 20.0%,

a 1.5p.p. decrease in relation to the same period, due to the factors previously explained in this document.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA Ajustado: the company understands that the financial income from investments related to the

collateral assets (restricted cash), as well as the income from overdue receivables and possible discounts

granted to customers are an integral part of the operation and should therefore be considered in the Adjusted

EBITDA calculation. In addition to these adjustments there were non-recurring events in 2018 related to (i) the

higher rate of reimbursement to SUS, totaling R$ 12.0 million above the historical average (ii) the provision for

extraordinary variable compensation of employees, fully paid in December 2018, totaling R$ 22.7 million, of

which R$ 18.6 million were allocated to personnel expenses and R$ 4.1 million in cost, (iii) to the cancellation

of Uniplam clients, totaling R$ 5.4 million and (iv) to the write-off of property, plant and equipment, totaling

R$ 3.4 million, partially offset by the reversal of provision of doubtful accounts of R$ 8.6 million referring to a

single corporate client. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA grew by 2.9% in 4Q18 and totaled R$ 270.0 million with a

margin of 22.3%. In 2018, Adjusted EBITDA reached R$ 990.2 million, an annual growth of 11.1% with a margin

of 21.6%.
