One-line thesis: Own Europe's leading private ophthalmology chain — a structurally growing, demographically anchored, net-cash cash machine that compounds revenue at 15%+ per year — at a 16x FCF price that reflects neither the UK expansion optionality nor the full earning power of a maturing Spain.
CBAV-DOSSIER.md §1 [1]| Service line | FY2025 (€M) | % of revenue | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interventions (surgeries) | 275.4 | 91% | Refractive, cataract, presbyopia, specialty |
| Consultations | 11.1 | 4% | Initial exam and post-op monitoring |
| Other ophthalmological income | 15.2 | 5% | Retina, glaucoma, specialist pathologies |
| Total revenue (FY2025) | 301.8 | 100% | +14.9% YoY |
| Segment | Q1 26 revenue (€M) | YoY | EBITDA margin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 58.6 | +9% | 35.9% | The engine; held margin despite 4 new clinic costs |
| Germany (incl. Vienna) | 16.7 | +3% | 29.5% | Soft. EBITDA -6%. Weak laser among younger; macro drag |
| Italy | 6.5 | +6% | ~19% (+2pp) | Maturing; mix shifting to direct patients |
| UK | 5.2 | +20% | n/m (loss narrowed 36%) | Laser volume +48%, intraocular +11%. “In line with the plans” |

|---|---|---|
| Scale & clinical network | Strong | 154 clinics in 4 countries; established surgeon teams; brand recognition. Barriers to replicating substantial. |
| Brand & trust (private-pay) | Strong | ~83% self-pay mix means CBAV sets prices. Patients choose CBAV because of trust and outcomes, not insurer steering. |
| Demographic tailwind | Strong | Aging population in 4 large European markets; cataracts and presbyopia growing semi-compulsorily. |
| Operating leverage | Medium | Hub-and-spoke (satellite + surgical) drives capital efficiency. Spain 28% operating margin. |
| Switching costs | Medium | Once a patient has a successful procedure, they (and their family) return for further care. |
| Regulatory | Medium | Regulated healthcare. Spain dominant private model; UK reimbursement dynamics different. AIER ownership adds Spanish-CNMV oversight. |
