Stuart Fletcher, CEO of Bupa, commented: 2014 was a good year for Bupa in which we delivered growth across our business, building momentum behind our strategic vision, Bupa 2020. We focused on integrating acquired businesses and improving operational effectiveness, resulting in good financial growth. Revenue increased to 9.8bn and underlying profit before taxation was 637.8m, up 15% and 8% respectively at constant exchange rates (CER). Excluding recently acquired businesses and associated financing costs, revenue and underlying profit were both up 6% at CER. We are committed to ensuring millions of people enjoy better health because of Bupa and customer numbers increased 31% to 28.7m, including 6.2m customers of our joint ventures and associates and 2.4m customers added through acquisitions. We have seen good growth in our established markets with a particularly strong performance from Australia and New Zealand, while the UK delivered a second year of growth. All Market Units benefitted from our focus on efficiency and close management of operating costs. We are also pleased with the contribution our recently acquired businesses have made to our performance with their integration well progressed and on track. During the year we developed strategic partnerships including a 10-year distribution agreement with Hang Seng Bank, which further strengthens our market position in Hong Kong. In 2014 we strengthened our organisational platform and built good momentum for future growth, supported by our investment in new products, services and operations. We are well positioned to build on this through 2015 due to our diversified international footprint, the 2

strength of our business model and our international expertise in healthcare, enabling us to tackle some of healthcare s biggest challenges and reach millions more people in fulfilment of our purpose: longer, healthier, happier lives. Enquiries: Evelyn Bourke CFO 020 7656 2576 Gareth Evans Treasurer 020 7656 2316 Bupa Corporate Affairs 020 7656 2646 CEO Review Bupa 2020 is our strategic vision for how we will deliver our purpose: longer, healthier, happier lives, and help millions of people enjoy better health. We have three strategic goals: being a healthcare partner to millions more, delivering extraordinary business performance and being an organisation where our people love to work. Performance 2014 was a year in which our focus on growing all our businesses, while improving operational effectiveness across Bupa, yielded positive results with good momentum built in the year. We delivered good revenue growth, up 8% to 9.8bn and grew customer numbers strongly by 31% to 28.7m, with 11% of the growth through the acquisition of Cruz Blanca Salud (now rebranded Bupa Chile), 6% from joint ventures and associates, 2% from our micro health insurance initiatives in India and Ghana and 12% from the rest of the business. We maintained underlying profit at 637.8m and continued to invest in new products, services and operations to support future growth, with capital investment of 391.8m. At constant exchange rates, revenue grew 15% and underlying profit was up 8%. Excluding recently acquired businesses and associated financing costs, revenue was up 6% and underlying profit was up 6% at CER. Statutory profits rose 18% to 609.2m. We took significant steps to transform the business to enable us to deliver sustainable financial performance and fulfil Bupa 2020. This included increasing operational effectiveness across all Market Units, including delivering 30m of cost savings in the UK by improving efficiency in key back office processes and procurement, and by streamlining the sales organisation. We also began to restructure and regionalise operations in Bupa Global to better serve our customers in their own language, culture and time zone. In Australia, we significantly expanded our healthcare provision footprint, with the launch of Bupa Medical Visa Services in July and Bupa GP Clinics in October. In our established markets, we saw a particularly strong performance from Australia and New Zealand, where we are differentiating our business through the quality and breadth of our service. In the UK, we delivered a second year of growth, benefitting in particular from our focus on efficiency and management of operating costs. We also continue to lead reform in the UK private healthcare market through our on-going drive to reduce healthcare costs, including those charged by private hospitals, to deliver better value for customers. In November, we signed a ground-breaking contract with Spire Healthcare, commencing in 2015, agreeing prices until 2021. We have swiftly embedded recent acquisitions and these businesses made a strong contribution to our performance in 2014. Bupa Chile, formerly Cruz Blanca Salud, is performing well and during the final quarter of 2014, we began to migrate the branding of parts of the business to the Bupa brand. In Australia, we began promoting Bupa Dental Corporation s clinics to our health insurance customers and vice versa. We also increased the number of Bupa Dental Corporation practices that are part of our health insurance customer network to over 110. In Poland, we are focused on developing LUX MED s integrated healthcare funding and provision offering, as we believe this model brings better oversight of the patient journey and supports more affordable and accessible healthcare. We 3

are investing in the development of the business, completing several local acquisitions during the year and launching a new specialist dental centre in Wroclaw, one of Poland s biggest cities. In Hong Kong, we are embedding the Quality HealthCare clinic business into the organisation and in August opened a new premium medical centre. We have a target to reduce absolute carbon emissions by 20% by the end of 2015 with 2009 being the base line, and measured in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard. Year-on-year carbon emissions are down 1%, and currently stand 14% down on 2009, despite our business growth, and we have made strong improvements in our direct and indirect emissions through energy efficiency, clean energy generation on our sites and sourcing certified green tariff electricity, particularly in Spain. We have established a dedicated 50m Energy Saver Fund to invest in projects over 2014 and 2015 to reduce our operating costs, energy use and carbon emissions. Hundreds of projects are underway around the world, from solar panels to the installation of more energy efficient lighting. We expect to meet our target by the end of 2015. A healthcare partner to millions more people We continue to develop strategic partnerships so we can support millions of people to improve their health and wellbeing. We are committed to partnering with the public sector where our expertise can benefit patients and public health systems. The successful launch of Bupa Medical Visa Services, which provides health checks on behalf of the Australian Government to an estimated 275,000 visa applicants a year, is an example of this in practice. In the UK, we have developed a pioneering intermediate care service with Central Manchester University Hospital Foundation Trust, helping over 300 people back to good health without the need for a long hospital stay. We have also published an independently verified report on our Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Valencia, Spain. In April, we entered into an exclusive 10-year distribution agreement in Hong Kong with Hang Seng Bank to offer its three million customers a new range of health insurance products and services. We also announced our intention to increase our stake in Max Bupa, our joint venture in India with Max India, to 49%, as soon as legislative approval is granted for an increase in the foreign direct investment limit for the insurance sector. We continued our partnership with the World Health Organization and the International Telecommunication Union on the global mobile health initiative, Be He@lthy, Be Mobile, to help address non-communicable diseases. We also cemented our partnership with Alzheimer s Disease International, as we continued to lobby for governments to adopt our joint Dementia Charter and develop National Dementia Plans. In December, we jointly published Cancer it s everyone s business with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). This report calls for new PPPs to combat cancer and achieve long-term change through workplace health initiatives. We also established a new Chief Medical Officers network to explore how we can combine the experience of a global network of clinicians in corporations to improve health and wellbeing. 4

A place where our people love to work We want each and every one of our people to love working at Bupa. Being a great place to work is an essential part of our Bupa 2020 vision and is key to ensuring we deliver excellent care and service for our customers. In 2014, 83% of our people completed our Global People Survey (GPS), our biggest response to date, with an increase of 6,077 employees compared with 2013. Part of the GPS measures pride, satisfaction, advocacy and commitment from which we reach our employee engagement index. In 2014, engagement grew year-on-year, demonstrating the understanding and connection our people have to our purpose and their continued commitment to achieving our ambitious goals. We place great emphasis on leadership and we have strengthened our executive team over the course of the year both with a number of new appointments and by continued investment in the development of our leaders. Bupa Leaders Are is the expression of the leadership we believe is needed to deliver Bupa 2020 and extraordinary business performance every year. We have expanded our Bupa Leaders Are development programme to include 1,000 of our leaders around the world. It is also becoming part of the fabric of Bupa through leadership events, performance management, development and recruitment. Outlook In 2014 we strengthened our platform to continue our progress towards Bupa 2020. In 2015, we will continue to focus on integrating and delivering performance from our acquired businesses, growing and developing all our businesses and driving operating efficiencies across Bupa. We will continue to innovate and develop products and services to best meet the changing needs of our customers, with a focus on making healthcare more affordable and accessible. We will remain disciplined with our finances, particularly given on-going trading conditions in the UK, Spain and Australia. Overall, we are well positioned to drive growth and financial returns over the next year, reaching millions more people in fulfilment of our purpose: longer, healthier, happier lives. 5

Australia and New Zealand Customers Revenue Underlying Profit 2014 5.7m 3,759.6m 309.2m 2013 4.9m 3,791.8m 284.1m % growth 16% -1% 9% % growth (CER) 11% 24% The Australia and New Zealand Market Unit comprises four business units: Bupa Health Insurance, a leading health insurance provider in Australia, which also offers health related services and international health cover; Bupa Health Services, our health provision business, which comprises Bupa Dental Corporation, Bupa Optical, Bupa Medical Visa Services, Bupa Health Dialog and Bupa Medical GP Clinics; Bupa Aged Care Australia, the largest privately-owned residential aged care provider in Australia, which cares for almost 10,000 residents across 65 homes; and Bupa Care Services New Zealand, New Zealand s largest aged care provider, caring for around 25,000 people in 58 homes, 29 retirement villages, seven rehabilitation sites and through its personal medical alarm network. Market context The Australian economy remains stable but tight budgetary and fiscal conditions at a national level continue to make consumers cautious about discretionary spending. In Australia there are a number of government incentives to encourage the take up of health insurance, including the Private Health Insurance Rebate, which acts as a government subsidy towards the cost of health insurance. Changes to the Rebate in recent years, including the introduction of means testing and a freeze on rebate income tiers, are adding to affordability pressures for people with health insurance. Consequently, there is a trend towards downgrading and switching between providers based on lowest price. From 1 July 2015, responsibility for the regulation of Australia s Private Health Insurance Industry is moving from the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC) to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Bupa expects minimal short-term impact from this change, however, we have asked the Australian Government to consider a delayed implementation date to provide the industry with more time to understand the full scope of the proposed changes and give relevant government bodies more ability to mitigate any potential unintended consequences. 2014 saw the most comprehensive aged care reforms in Australia for decades, designed to give consumers greater choice and control over how they pay for residential aged care. We are focused on helping our customers to understand the personal impacts of the reforms, ensuring our pricing is competitive and exploring opportunities to develop new services made possible by the reforms. In New Zealand, consumer spending trends are generally more favourable and the economy continues to grow. The government is focused on managing the economy to stimulate growth and building better public services. We are seeing a shift towards an investment-funding mindset, which may provide further opportunities for the business. Performance Australia and New Zealand performed strongly, delivering growth in revenue (at CER), customers and underlying profit, despite the increasingly competitive market and challenging political, economic and regulatory environment in Australia. We focused on integrating acquisitions made in 2013, launching our new Bupa Medical Visa Services business, and delivering an industry-leading customer experience. 6

Revenue down 1%, up 11% at CER o Revenue growth in all businesses, with strong growth in Bupa Health Services, supported by the full-year contribution of Dental Corporation, acquired in 2013, the launch of Bupa Medical Visa Services, and Bupa Aged Care Australia, supported by the Innovative Care acquisition in 2013. Customers up 16% o Growth driven by our 2013 acquisitions as well as the launch of Bupa Medical Visa Services. Good growth in our health insurance business and Care Services businesses, supported by the opening of five new care homes. Underlying profit up 9%; up 24% at CER o Growth positively impacted by our 2013 acquisitions, as well as a good performance by our health insurance business and aged care businesses. Profit also benefited from a change in regulation, which enabled us to reassess the amount of money held as a risk margin against the provision for claims. Our Australian and New Zealand aged care businesses maintained strong occupancy levels above 90%, in a year of growth and expansion for both businesses. Integration, acquisition and new business update The integration of our 2013 acquisitions is progressing well. We began promoting Bupa Dental Corporation s clinics as part of Bupa to our health insurance customers and increased the number of Bupa Dental Corporation practices that are part of our health insurance customer network to over 110. New care homes acquired as part of our 2013 purchase of Innovative Care are making a significant contribution to the performance of the Australian aged care business with all key performance metrics ahead of expectations. We also opened aged care homes in Runaway Bay (Queensland) and Templestowe (Victoria). We completed the purchase of the Cargill Aged Care facility in Invercargill, New Zealand in June. This is the fourth and final site in the group that was acquired in 2013 from Oceania. The new home adds 40 beds and a retirement village to our New Zealand aged care portfolio, reinforcing our position as the largest provider of aged care beds in New Zealand and the fourth largest retirement village provider. The New Zealand business was also well supported by the opening of the Ballarat Village and care home in Rangiora, which opened with strong village sales. In July, we established Bupa Medical Visa Services, which provides health checks and a range of other medical assessment services on behalf of the Australian Government. The new business is part of a three year agreement, which has seen Bupa open six purpose-built medical centres in major Australian cities and manage a network of approved clinics to provide health checks to an estimated 275,000 visa applicants each year. The new business made a strong contribution to growth in both customer numbers and revenue in its first six months of operation. In October, we began operating GP services in Australia for the first time through our newly established Bupa Medical business. We now offer GP services from a Bupa-branded clinic in Sydney s Central Business District with plans to roll out an additional five clinics across the broader Sydney metropolitan area over the next 12 months. In January, the Australian aged care business entered into an agreement for the development and operation of six new care homes, consolidating its position as Australia s largest privately owned aged care provider. Two new homes in Echuca (Victoria) and Tugun (Queensland) commenced operations in 2014 with the remaining four to be developed and opened progressively in 2015 and 2016. 7

Healthcare partner to millions more people The launch of new businesses and operations across Australia and New Zealand in 2014 has significantly expanded Bupa s provision capability in the market and support our purpose of longer, healthier, happier lives. In addition, growth in existing business and the expansion of our care home footprint has grown the number of people with a direct customer relationship with Bupa. We continue to lead the development of the health insurance sector with our Pay for Quality initiative to improve quality and deliver better value for customers. Our partnership with Healthscope Hospitals is working to shift the focus in health insurance from cost to value-formoney, helping to drive quality improvement by creating a funding platform that rewards better healthcare outcomes in clinical quality and safety. During 2014, we also agreed new contracts with a number of hospital networks, assisting improved claims management, while delivering value and quality for customers. Bupa Health Insurance has embarked on a major transformational agenda by stepping up efforts to retain customers, improving processes to proactively approach customers and providing enhanced training so we can resolve customer concerns the first time they call. We are simplifying all interactions with customers, including our claims processing, and are focused on differentiating ourselves in the market through the quality and breadth of our service. By partnering with the public sector, we can help millions more people with their health and wellbeing and the launch of Bupa Medical Visa Services is an example of how this can work in practice. In Australia, we are also the primary service provider for the Coordinated Veterans Care programme, a contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which was extended in 2014 for a further two years. Bupa s Integrated Healthcare Program continues to represent a significant innovation for the aged care sector. By integrating medical care into our homes through the recruitment of GPs we have refocused the roles of all our care givers to deliver better clinical management. For our residents, this means greater continuity of care and better access to personalised services, improving health outcomes and quality of life. At the end of 2014, 22 care homes in Australia were operating under this new model. A place where our people love to work We aim to have an extraordinary culture and organisation, with people healthier because they work at Bupa and with our people making a positive impact on the environment and the health of their communities. Our annual Global People Survey (GPS) in Australia and New Zealand showed an increase in employee engagement (up 1% to 76%). Following the rollout of our company-wide leadership programme, Bupa Leaders Are, we achieved a Leadership Index 5 score of 75%, showing the high level of connection and affinity between our people and our leaders. We are committed to helping our people to be healthier because they work for Bupa and in 2014 over 80% of our people participated in at least one employee wellbeing activity over the year, including heart health checks, mental wellbeing seminars, relaxation sessions and our quit smoking programme. 5 The Leadership Index brings together all questions in Bupa s Global People Survey aligned to our leadership profile. It measures the experience our people are having of our leaders including perceptions of the leaders commitment to their own leadership growth, their commitment to growing and developing others, their ability to help our people understand and connect to Bupa s overall strategic vision and purpose, as well as the overall quality of their management. 8

Outlook We expect the economic, political and regulatory environment in Australia and New Zealand to remain stable and anticipate challenges around affordability and consumer sentiment in Australia will continue in 2015. Despite this, we expect to continue to grow our customers, revenue and profit over the course of the year. Greater public and private collaboration will assist in tackling the challenge of rising healthcare expenditure and we believe the government s appetite for collaboration with the private sector continues to improve in both Australia and New Zealand. 9

UK Customers Revenue Underlying Profit FY 2014 4.0m 2,711.2m 175.0m FY 2013 3.9m 2,573.5m 139.5m % growth 3% 5% 25% % growth (CER) 5% 25% The UK Market Unit comprises five business units: Bupa Health Funding, offering health insurance and health funding products; Bupa Care Services, caring for around 39,700 people in 280 homes; Bupa Health Clinics, which runs wellness centres, clinics, occupational health services and dental clinics; Bupa Home Healthcare, providing out-of-hospital healthcare services to around 35,500 patients; and Bupa Cromwell Hospital, Bupa's complex care hospital based in London, providing care for insured, self-pay and international patients. Market context The UK health insurance sector remains challenging. However, early signs of growth are being seen in the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) and Corporate sector, with major new contract wins in the second half of 2014, while cost remains a key concern for individual consumers 6. Over 70% of the 39,700 people we look after each year in our care homes are publicly funded by local authorities or the NHS. Public funding pressures continue to mean that local authority fee rates have risen below inflation or, in many cases, have not risen at all for four years, while running costs including staffing, utilities and catering are increasing. This is having an adverse sector wide impact. The Care Act became law in May, introducing major reforms to residential and nursing care, including a cap on the amount individuals will have to pay towards the cost of care during their lifetime, new bands for means tested support and new responsibilities for local authorities to arrange care. Detailed regulations are currently being drafted by the Department of Health and major funding changes are not due to come into effect until April 2016. Performance 2014 was the second year of growth in the UK, despite tough trading conditions, as management action to improve operational efficiency, innovate to meet the changing healthcare needs of our customers and make healthcare more affordable and accessible both yielded results in the year and created momentum for 2015. Revenue up 5% o Revenue growth driven in particular by Bupa Health Clinics, benefiting from the opening of 13 new dental centres, Bupa Care Services, as a consequence of the full-year contribution of Richmond Care Villages, acquired in August 2013, and Bupa Home Healthcare, driven by new contracts won in the latter part of 2013. o In Bupa Health Funding we saw revenue growth in our SME business, but this was offset by a decline in Individual health insurance sales, as experienced across the whole sector. 6 Bupa s Generation X research, conducted by YouGov, found that 50% of those born between 1959 and 1980 say the main barrier to having private healthcare is that they can t afford it, with 37% saying that would be more likely to have it if it was more affordable. Research undertaken in July 2014 with a sample size of 2,005. 10

Customer numbers up 3% o Growth mainly driven by Bupa Health Clinics, due to the expansion of our dental clinics and Bupa Cromwell Hospital, which saw good growth in patient numbers, particularly from overseas. o In Bupa Health Funding, we saw customer growth in our SME business and early signs of growth in our Corporate business. This was offset by continued tough market conditions in the Individual health insurance sector. Underlying profit up 25% year-on-year our second consecutive year of growth. o Supported by our focus on improving operational efficiency. Cost savings of 30m delivered by improving efficiency in key back office processes and procurement and by streamlining the sales function. o Profitability was also positively impacted by the results of Bupa Health Clinics, Bupa Home Healthcare and Bupa Cromwell Hospital. Growth in Care Services due to the impact of the full-year contribution of Richmond Care Villages, was partly offset by higher care home running costs and continued pressure on care homes fee rates. Bupa Care Services occupancy levels increased slightly to 87.4%. We saved more than 1.5m in energy costs as a part of our drive to reduce our carbon footprint. In 2014 we invested 13.2m in low carbon technologies. We have more Combined Heat and Power units (CHPs) in our portfolio than any other company in the UK and have installed over 24,000 LED fittings. Healthcare partner to millions more people We are focused on meeting the changing healthcare needs and concerns of our customers and society. We are developing innovative products and services and campaigning to make healthcare more affordable and accessible to deliver better value for money. In 2014, Bupa Health Funding corporate customers experienced some of the lowest premium increases on record. Because of our success in healthcare cost containment, we were able to reduce or hold premiums level for over half our renewing corporate customers. We continue to lead reform of the UK private healthcare market through our on-going drive to reduce healthcare costs, including those charged by private hospitals. In November, we signed a ground-breaking long-term agreement with Spire Healthcare on prices for all Spire s hospitals until 2021, commencing on 1 April 2015. We look forward to passing the benefits of this deal through to our customers over the course of the contract. We intend to work with other hospital providers in a similar way and are urging the whole sector funders, consultants and hospitals - to work together to drive better value and transparency for customers. We are committed to partnering with the NHS where our expertise can benefit patients and the public health system. We have developed a pioneering intermediate care service with Central Manchester University Hospital Foundation Trust at our Gorton Parks care home in Eccles. In 2014, the service had over 300 admissions, helping people back to good health without the need for a long hospital stay. This service frees up NHS resources and provides individuals with the opportunity to choose the care setting that is right for them. We are investing to address the health and care needs of the UK s growing ageing population. In 2014, we invested 54m in developing new and innovative facilities for older people, opening two new care homes in Tunbridge Wells and Cardiff and starting work on two new Richmond Care Villages in Witney and Aston-on-Trent, as well as refurbishing existing homes. A place where our people love to work We aim to have an extraordinary culture and organisation, with people healthier because they work at Bupa and with our people making a positive impact in their communities. 11

The number of employees taking part in our annual Global People Survey (GPS) increased by 1,547 to 78% (up from 76% in 2013). It showed our employee engagement to be 59%. Following the roll out of our company-wide leadership programme, Bupa Leaders Are, we achieved a Leadership Index 7 score of 62%. We provide all our people with Business Fit, as part of our commitment to helping them feel healthier because they work at Bupa. Business Fit offers early intervention services to speed up access to diagnosis and treatment and physiotherapy for muscle, bone and joint conditions. It also provides fast, direct self-referral for mental health conditions and access to Bupa Anytime Healthline for round-the-clock medical advice from a nurse or GP. Outlook Our focus in 2015 is on growth through making private healthcare more accessible and affordable for more people in the UK. We will do this by focusing on operational efficiency, leading sector reform to deliver better value and innovating to meet changing customer needs. We will launch a three year investment programme to address some of the UK s toughest healthcare challenges. This will include investing in our Care Services business, with a focus on dementia care, developing our care villages and intermediate care; the development of new products, services and online tools to respond to our customers changing needs and engage more people in their health and wellbeing and funding projects to reduce our carbon footprint, as we recognise that good health and the environment are interdependent. We will also continue to progress towards our ambition of owning and operating 75 dental centres by the end of 2015. We will work with the government and other key parties to clarify and enable the implementation of the Care Act to ensure it results in improved care outcomes for residents. In 2015 we will be launching The Bupa UK Foundation. This will be a company limited by guarantee and a charity registered by the Charity Commission. The Bupa UK Foundation will be entirely funded by Bupa UK, and will provide funding for practical projects and initiatives which aim to tackle critical challenges in health and social care, and improve people s health and wellbeing. 7 See footnote 4. 12

Spain and Latin America Customers Revenue Underlying Profit 2014 4.9m 1,842.5m 130.6m 2013 2.4m 1,363.5m 126.5m % growth 104% 35% 3% % growth (CER) 42% 9% The Spain and Latin America Domestic Market Unit comprises five business units: Sanitas Seguros, providing health insurance services in Spain; Sanitas Hospitales and New Services, operating four private hospitals, 19 private medical clinics, health and wellbeing services through 19 centres and two public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Spain; Sanitas Dental, providing dental insurance services through 173 centres (109 owned and 64 franchises) and third-party networks in Spain; Sanitas Residencial, caring for around 4,700 Spanish people in 40 care homes; and Bupa Chile, formerly Cruz Blanca Salud acquired in February 2014, a leading health insurer and provider in Chile with three hospitals and 29 medical clinics, which has recently expanded its provision operations into Peru. Market context Economic conditions in Spain remain challenging and while GDP growth of 1.6% in 2014 suggests early signs of recovery, unemployment levels remain very high at 24% 8. Government budget cuts are continuing to affect the Spanish health system and satisfaction with public healthcare is declining 9. While this is increasing pressure on our medical costs, as health insurance customers move more of their treatment to the private sector, it should drive uptake of health insurance in the medium-term. In the Chilean market, despite GDP growth falling to 1.7% in 2014, the economic fundamentals and growth outlook for the market are positive. Real GDP growth is forecast to rebound, rising to 2.7% in 2015 and 2016 and 4.3% in 2017 10. Health is a high growth sector in Chile, driven by year-on-year growth in healthcare expenditure for more than a decade (9.5% CAGR 2000-2012). The private health insurance market grew by 10% in revenue in 2014, supported by an expanding number of people taking out health insurance and increasing premiums 11. Performance Spain and Latin America delivered a resilient performance in 2014, despite tough economic conditions in Spain, delivering growth in revenue, customers and underlying profit. We focused on operational efficiency and innovating to respond to customer needs, as well as integrating Cruz Blanca Salud (now rebranded Bupa Chile). Revenue up 35%, 42% at CER o Growth primarily driven by the contribution of Bupa Chile, and supported by strong growth in Sanitas Dental, benefiting from new dental centres opened during the year, and good growth in Sanitas Residencial. Customer numbers up 104% o Growth mainly due to the acquisition of Bupa Chile, but also supported by Sanitas Dental and Sanitas Hospitales and New Services. o This was partially offset by challenging conditions in the Spanish health insurance market. 8 Source: INE, the Spanish National Statistics Institute. 9 Source: Annual Health System Survey, Spanish Ministry of Health 10 Source: Central Bank of Chile (Monetary Policy Report December 2014) 11 Source: National Public Health Fund (Fonasa), Superintendence of Health, Chile 13

Underlying profit up 3%, with 9% CER growth, o Underlying profit benefited from the contribution of Bupa Chile, as well as a strong performance by Sanitas Residencial. o Profit was impacted by low growth rates in private health insurance, a trend seen across the sector 12 and lower inflation rates which have negatively affected revenue for our PPPs. Sanitas Residencial achieved record occupancy, which increased to 92%. We maintained our sales focus on the private market to offset the impact of cuts in public expenditure on social services, driven by Spain s challenging macro-economic environment. Integration and acquisition update The integration of Bupa Chile is progressing as planned and the business is performing ahead of expectations. During the final quarter of 2014, we began to migrate parts of the business to the Bupa brand, commencing with the hospitals business. The brand of the health funding business, Isapre Cruz Blanca, will remain unchanged for regulatory and economic reasons. In Spain, we acquired the Virgen del Mar hospital in Madrid in September, following our work with the hospital as a private provision partner. The hospital includes 68 beds and provides more than 58,000 consultations and 5,000 surgeries a year. We are now fully integrating Virgen del Mar into the business. Healthcare partner to millions more people We are working with hospitals and other healthcare providers to identify opportunities to reduce and manage medical costs. In Spain, we have reviewed our product portfolio to help reduce the cost of our co-payment health insurance products, which require contributions from our customers at the point of treatment. In the current economic climate, this move has been well received with strong sales of co-payment products. We are also looking closely at our own costs, and have made our sales channels more efficient by reviewing our distribution arrangements, signing new agreements with leading insurance brokers to boost productivity and renewing our co-insurance partnership with BBVA, Spain s second largest bank. This partnership provides Sanitas with a major distribution channel to reach potential new customers, through BBVA s 3,400 retail offices in Spain. We continue to invest in developing market leading products, services and facilities for our customers as a key point of differentiation. We opened 25 new dental centres across Spain, bringing our total number of clinics to 173 and further openings are planned for 2015. In our Spanish health insurance business, we focused on strengthening sales channels for independent dental insurance products and now have over,91,000 members. In particular, we saw a significant increase in sales made in dental centres. In our hospitals and PPPs we are investing in services and focusing on quality to attract patients to our facilities. In our CIMA hospital in Barcelona, we opened a new Obstetrics Unit, including a neonatal Intensive Care Unit, to provide specialist advice and care to women during pregnancy, childbirth and the post-natal period. Our PPP hospitals in Manises and Torrejón have also added new services, including a new radiotherapy unit in Torrejón. Both PPPs continue to attract patients from outside their catchment areas, which is testament to the quality of service patients receive in our hospitals. 12 Source: ICEA, the institute for statistics and studies of the insurance sector in Spain, a part of UNESPA, the Spanish trade association for insurance companies. 14

As a result of our sustained focus on quality in our hospitals, our Torrejón hospital was named the number one hospital in Spain for digestive system surgery and management in the IASIST 13 hospital index, in the large general hospital category, which assesses and ranks over 150 hospitals in Spain against quality, operational and efficiency indicators. Our Manises hospital was also awarded a prize in the hospital management category. In Sanitas Residencial, our care services business, we have developed a day care service to respond to the needs of customers - and their families - for more flexible care options. This service, which has been rolled out to 15 care homes, is increasing our customer reach as part of our strategy of creating care hubs in the communities in which we operate. A place where our people love to work We aim to have an extraordinary culture and organisation, with our people healthier because they work at Bupa and making a positive impact in their communities. In our annual Global People Survey (GPS), we maintained excellent levels of employee engagement (81%). Following the roll out of our company-wide leadership programme, Bupa Leaders Are, we achieved a Leadership Index 14 score of 73%. We are committed to helping our people to be healthier because they work for Bupa. Sanitas Smile programme is focused on providing employees with health and wellbeing support for themselves and their families, including nutritional advice, online personal training plans, smoking cessation guidance and stress management workshops. In 2014, 2,685 employees participated in the programme, with independent research by Universidad Europea showing that their health indicators improved within six months of enrolment, while productivity also increased by 43.3%. Due to the success of the programme for our own people, Sanitas has now developed Smile as a new product offering for corporate customers. Outlook We will continue to focus on the integration of Bupa Chile, driving operational efficiency, developing products and services to respond to our customers needs and exploring entry into further markets in Latin America where we see strong growth potential. In our Spanish health insurance business we expect tough trading conditions to persist in 2015. We will continue to manage medical costs carefully to ensure that our products are affordable and we deliver sustainable growth. We expect an improved performance from our hospitals, PPPs and New Services as established facilities grow and new facilities become fully operational, particularly the CIMA and Virgen del Mar hospitals. 13 IASIST is an expert in providing management information on clinical and economic performance of healthcare providers in Spain.

International Development Markets Customers Revenue Underlying Profit 2014 12.1m 506.7m 17.1m 2013 8.7m 377.3m 5.9m % growth 39% 34% 190% % growth (CER) 42% 235% International Development Markets (IDM) comprises: Domestic health insurance businesses in Hong Kong, Thailand, India and Saudi Arabia, as well as a representative office in China; LUX MED, the largest private healthcare business in Poland; and Quality HealthCare, the largest private clinic network in Hong Kong. Health Dialog, a health analytics business in the USA, sold to Rite Aid in March 2014, as previously reported at the half year 2014. Market context In 2014 there was a general slowdown in emerging market economies and a weakening of exchange rates, while political and social changes in the markets in which IDM operates have presented opportunities and challenges. In India, as soon as legislative approval is granted for an increase in the foreign direct investment limit for the insurance sector, we intend to submit a formal application to the relevant authorities in India to increase our stake in our joint venture, Max Bupa, to the proposed new maximum limit of 49%. Performance IDM performed strongly in 2014 growing revenue, customers and underlying profit, as we continued to deliver our strategy of growing and developing our existing markets, while exploring opportunities to enter new territories where we see potential to deliver strong growth and increase standards of healthcare for millions more people. Revenue up 34%; up 42% at CER o Growth driven by the full-year contribution of our LUX MED and Quality HealthCare acquisitions made in 2013 and supported by strong sales in Thailand and Hong Kong. Revenues from our Bupa Arabia associate and our Max Bupa joint venture are not included in our revenue figures 15. o This growth was partly offset by the sale of the US operations of Health Dialog to Rite Aid in March. Strong customer growth of 39% o 18.4% of customer growth was delivered by our 2013 acquisitions and 13.8% by Bupa Arabia and Max Bupa 16. Bupa Arabia performed particularly strongly due to significant corporate wins including a contract to provide health insurance to Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, Bupa s largest ever corporate win in terms of customers. Our micro health insurance initiatives in India and Ghana contributed a further 5.7% to customer growth. Underlying profit up 190%, up 235% at CER, an improvement of 11.2m on 2013. o This was largely due to the strong performance of Bupa Arabia, the impact of earnings from our 2013 acquisitions and the divestment of the US operations of Health Dialog. 15 While revenues from our associate and joint venture are excluded from our reported figures, customer numbers and the appropriate share of profit from these businesses are included in our reported numbers. 16 Excluding Max Bupa s micro health insurance customers, which are included in the growth from micro health insurance initiatives below. 16

Integration and acquisition update In Poland, we are focused on developing LUX MED s integrated healthcare funding and provision offering, as we believe the integrated model brings better oversight of the patient journey and makes healthcare more affordable and accessible. We are investing in the development of the business, completing several local acquisitions during the year and launching a new specialist dental centre in Wroclaw, one of Poland s biggest cities. In Hong Kong, we are embedding the Quality HealthCare clinic business into the organisation and in August opened a new premium medical centre. Healthcare partner to millions more people In April, together with Bupa Global, we significantly increased our reach to millions more people in Hong Kong, when we launched a 10-year distribution partnership with Hang Seng Bank, part of HSBC and one of Hong Kong s leading retail banks with three million customers. The partnership, coupled with our acquisition of Quality HealthCare in 2013, further strengthens Bupa s market position in Hong Kong. Alongside our well established health insurance business, we now have an extensive footprint in healthcare provision and a major new distribution channel through which to reach potential customers with quality, affordable healthcare. In India, Max Bupa launched Bancassurance partnerships with Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, Ratnakar Bank and Federal Bank, significantly increasing our distribution network in the market and enabling us to access up to 14m potential new customers. During 2014, Bupa Arabia and LUX MED both developed high-profile sporting partnerships providing a platform to extend the reach and impact of our brand beyond our customers and to engage more people in their health and wellbeing. Bupa Arabia formed a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia s largest and most successful football club, Riyadh s Al-Hilal FC. The partnership provides Al-Hilal FC with health insurance and healthcare services for the club. LUX MED became the first private healthcare provider to partner with the Polish Olympic Committee. This partnership provides LUX MED with a platform to engage with sportspeople and fans alike in Poland about improving their health and wellbeing through sport and physical activity. In India, Max Bupa hosted its Walk for Health event in Delhi and Mumbai for the third consecutive year, involving more than 15,000 families, 5,000 school children and numerous businesses. All participants walked 5km and pledged to incorporate more walking into their daily routine. The event aims to educate the public about the benefits of walking to bring about positive and sustainable behaviour change. We are focused on developing new products and services that answer our customers needs. In July, Max Bupa launched an enhanced version of its popular Heartbeat Health Insurance plan to respond to India s strong family-focus. The enhanced product offers individuals the opportunity to insure many members and generations of their family on one policy. A place where our people love to work We aim to have an extraordinary culture and organisation, with people healthier because they work at Bupa and with our people making a positive impact in their communities. Our annual Global People Survey (GPS) in IDM showed a significant increase in employee engagement (up 17% to 75%) and following the rollout of our company-wide leadership programme, Bupa Leaders Are, we achieved an overall Leadership Index 17 score of 77%. 17 See footnote 4. 17
