Dentists braced for success
DIRECTOR DEALINGS
PERRY GOURLEY

DENTAL practice group Oasis continues to look far and wide to recruit overseas dentists to its UK business.

Although it has bemoaned delays caused by red tape, it says it has a growing number of foreign dentists eager to work.

Last week it announced that trading was on target and its AGM was accompanied by two hefty purchases by directors.

New chief executive Stephen Lambert, who joined Oasis in August, spent 105,000 to raise his holding to 1.3m shares.

Operations director Guy Blomfield made his first purchase since joining the group in June, spending just over 50,000. He has been granted options over a million shares.

PapalPower - 29 Sep 2005 07:00 - 42 of 60

Some very strange trades yesterday. The one at 12p sticks out like a sore thumb based on all sells values of the past weeks and cannot have been a sell I think.

Good news !

Oasis Healthcare PLC
30 September 2005

Oasis Healthcare Plc

('Oasis Healthcare' or 'The Company')

Pre-close Trading Update

Oasis Healthcare Plc, the UK's largest operator of dental practices announces an update on trading for the six months to 30 September 2005 as foreshadowed at the Company's Annual General meeting. The Company's interim results will be
announced on Thursday 1 December 2005.

Trading

The Company's turnover, from a combination of both NHS and private income
streams, has risen on a year to date basis compared to the same period last year and as a result the Company anticipates that it will meet broker expectations.

The Company is investing in revenue enhancing projects at a greater rate than
last year and significantly in the new organisational structure which has
improved free cash flow generation, which in turn, permits this increased
investment.

The change management programme is proving very successful and the Directors are confident that the improved performance is a result of this redirection.

Stephen Lambert, Chief Executive commented:

'The Company performed well in the first half and I am pleased in the progress
we have made in driving forward the changes needed to improve the financial
performance. We still have much to do and I look forward to reporting in more
detail in December'

Its looks good with the large director buys, then good update and new broker forecasts for a strong run in to the interims. I am getting more hopeful that the turnaround is real and Lambert is doing the things he was brought in to do, and well.

Blair 'powerless over dentists'

Tony Blair has admitted he is powerless to increase access to NHS dentistry.
The government is increasing training places by a quarter and introducing a new contract to improve access - only half the population is registered.

But in an interview on BBC Breakfast News, the prime minister said there was no way of forcing dentists to do NHS work instead of private.

More than a third of English dentists' work is carried out privately - up from about a tenth 15 years ago.

Mr Blair blamed the rise on a new contract introduced in 1990 which effectively increased workload without a rise in pay.

The rise in private work has meant that many people have struggled to find NHS dentists with queues being seen in some parts of the country when a new practice opens.

However, the large number of unregistered people will also include those who have decided not to register themselves.

Mr Blair said dentistry was the "most difficult aspect of the NHS".

"We can't turn the clock back, because I can't force dentists to come back into the NHS."

The admission comes six years after the prime minister pledged to give everyone access to NHS dentistry within two years.

Preventative work

The government is attempting to remedy the situation by introducing a new contract in April which allows dentists to spend more time on preventative work in a bid to get away from the "drill and fill" culture.

The number of training places have also expanded by 25% this year, although it will be five years before those dentists graduate.

Nigel Cater, of the charity British Dental Health Foundation, said he could not see the situation improving in the short-term.

"I don't think you will see a rush of dentists coming back to the NHS, although the new contract may stop them leaving, and the new training places are going to take a few years to make a difference."

And Lester Ellman, of the British Dental Association, said the new contract may "lead to more dentists going private".

PapalPower - 24 Oct 2005 08:10 - 47 of 60

Only five and a half weeks to interims now, and I am expecting them to be very good, not only due to good performance from the cluster system but also due to IFRS, which will benefit Oasis greatly in their reporting. OSH is adopting IFRS from these interims I think, and that is ahead of schedule for AIM companies.

A nice article on the staffing problems as more go private then the NHS needs to get in more from abroad. This is good news for Oasis as they have suffered in the past from delays from the red tape, the more coming in should mean that the red tape gets streamlined and causes less delays.

PapalPower - 09 Nov 2005 07:34 - 49 of 60

You can see why Lambert is filling his boots as business must be good, I am looking forward to some excellent progress at interim results on the 1st Dec.

Patients left without a dentist

Hundreds of people have been left without an NHS dentist in a North Yorkshire market town. Letters have gone out to 1,600 patients of Ingrid Gill at Pickering's Birdgate dental practice saying she has retired because of ill health.
Her appointments have been cancelled and other dentists in the town are not able take on extra patients.
Health officials said NHS patients will have to travel 17 miles to a dentist in Scarborough.
Helen Stokell from the Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Primary Care Trust (PCT) said the two other dentists at Birdgate and the other NHS dental practice in Pickering did not have any spare capacity.

'Unfortunate situation'
Instead, Mrs Gill's patients are being asked to contact the PCT which will put them in touch with a dentist in Scarborough, a situation Ms Stokell described as "not ideal".
She continued: "This is an unfortunate situation but under the circumstances we at the PCT will do everything we can to make sure that all patients will be found another NHS dentist within the PCT area as soon as places become available."
There have been problems in Scarborough providing NHS dental cover with dentists being brought in from abroad to reinforce the service.
But the PCT said it had identified spare places at practices in the resort.

Interim results will be this coming Thursday, and I think they will be very good and warmly received, with a strong positive outlook.

I am hoping for some more coverage on OSH once the interims are released and December should be a good month I hope.

PapalPower - 30 Nov 2005 21:03 - 51 of 60

A nice move up today pre-results, so lets hope in the morning they are not just good, but very good when we get the interims results in the morning tomorrow ;)

A good day and very good results, once a few more people take a good look at them, there should be more joining the list of holders. I will be adding more, and feel the next 18 months will be a big turnaroung for OSH.

From uk-analyst.com

Oasis Healthcare shares firmed 1.25p to 15p after interim numbers were accompanied by an upbeat trading statement. The corporate dentist reported a 10% rise in first-half revenues to 40.7 million pounds, from 37.1 million pounds previously, as EDITDA climbed to 3.5 million pounds, up from 3 million pounds. The group confirmed that current trading was positive and prospects for the second half were encouraging after the group cut its pre-tax losses to 131,000 pounds, from 493,000 pounds a year earlier.

New forecast from Oriel yesterday, new figures are in the header.

PapalPower - 04 Dec 2005 09:49 - 56 of 60

I will keep an eye on GCI, they had OSH recently as a speculative buy, so there should be an update before year end, and it should now move we hope to full buy rating.

If they are clever with reporting formats, year end could be much improved again with IFRS, with the removal of the goodwill burden, they could even state a reasonable size full year profit after tax as well.

PapalPower - 04 Dec 2005 13:53 - 57 of 60

From Scotland on Sunday;

"Two smaller cap stocks have caught my eye for very different reasons. The corporate dentist Oasis Healthcare's interim figures were accompanied by an upbeat trading statement. It reported a 10% rise in its first-half revenues to 40.7m. The group confirmed that current trading was positive and prospects for the second half were encouraging."

PapalPower - 05 Dec 2005 18:33 - 58 of 60

A small move up today which is promising, I think the short termers have gone and now we should see a continuation of investors.

Latest update from www.armshare.com

The interim results to September 2005 showed sales of 40.1 million (2004: 37.1 million), pre-tax loss of 131,000 (2004: 493,000) and adjusted EPS of 1.26p (2004: 0.81p). The ArmShare editor uses an Oasis practice which he had seen since its acquisition by Oasis lose operationally 'the eye of the owner'; the key to the success of Oasis is how to run a multi site operation and instil into the organisation structure the 'eye of the owner' within each practice - the current CEO was appointed in August 2004 and has installed the cluster structure referred to above, whereby each cluster comprises 4 to 10 practices and is run on a day to day basis by a cluster manager and a cluster clinical director. The editor met the CEO for the first time on 1st December and a full report of the data gleaned at that meeting will be provided shortly after getting clarification on a couple of issues. The company reported that its strategy is to grow sales organically - it achieved organic sales growth during the period of 10% (this from a practice base which had been shrunk from 125 in 2004 to 122) ; the period has absorbed 500,000 of costs associated with the cluster infrastructure; the operating cash inflow during the period was 2.5 million (depreciation amounted to 1.1 million and goodwill amortisation was 1.1 million); despite the 500,000 cluster infrastructure costs, the practice EBITDA (pre central costs) margin to sales has risen from 12.3% to 12.5%; and the board regards prospects for H2 as encouraging.
Research Standing
We said " With the heady days of expansion over, at least for the moment, its going to be a long course of treatment, as exertion of buying muscle and the drive for private patients opens a long road towards the necessary levels of returns. It hasn't been pain free yet, but when the current cavity is filled it may well be time for the healing process to begin."

Oasis has followed the well trodden buy and build strategy, and reached the stage where conventional business skills needed to be applied if the organisation was to deliver shareholder value. In 2004, the CEO who implemented the initial strategy left and his replacement (who joined in August 2004) brought in depth experience of running retail multi-site operations. This lead to the implementation of the cluster infrastructure referred to above - the early signs are that this is producing a virtuous circle of being more attractive to dentists, providing a better service to clients, organic sales growth and better margins. The ArmShare editor met the current CEO on 1st December and has a couple more issues to pursue, following which a fuller description of what appears to be a revitalised business will appear. If the virtuous circle is for real and with the company's present level of sales as a platform, it will become quite straightforward for the company to handle what presently looks like excessive borrowings totalling 40 million.
