SÃO PAULO, March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncoclínicas Group (ONCO3) – the largest group dedicated to cancer treatment in Latin America – announced its results for the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the entire year. The biggest news was the 51.3% increase in the company's 2022 net revenue, with a record total of BRL 4.1 billion.

"Our culture is based on quality care and operational efficiency, which are reflected in our experienced team and high performance. The numbers are a reflection of our efficient management. We've grown the company, mainly organically and through strategic partnerships, and by leveraging synergies and integrating our acquisitions more efficiently. This, together with the expansion of our integrated care model, generated the results we saw in 2022.", explains Bruno Ferrari, Founder and CEO of Oncoclínicas.
In turn, gross margin over net revenue leaped from 32.2% in 2021 to 35.5% in 2022, resulting in a 67.1% increase in gross profit, which totaled BRL 1.5 billion. The annual net profit closed at BRL 114 million, reversing a loss of BRL 22 million in 2021.
In the full year 2022, EBITDA reached BRL 673 million, 80.3% higher than the previous period. This growth continues to reflect progress in integrating the operations acquired by Oncoclínicas, which are all aimed at increasing efficiency and synergies.
