Medicover is a leading international healthcare and diagnostic services company and was founded in 1995. Medicover operates a large number of ambulatory clinics, hospitals, specialty-care facilities, laboratories and blood-drawing points and the largest markets are Poland and Germany. In 2020, Medicover had revenue of €998 million and more than 32,000 employees. For more information, go to www.medicover.com
It is now 20 months since the Covid-19 pandemic arrived in our markets. Our staff continues to handle the ongoing situation with utmost professionalism and a never-ending mission to help all our customers in need of medical support. As many times before, I would like to start this statement by recognising the fantastic effort and commitment of all our staff.
The pandemic continues to impact our lives and societies, and we learn to adapt to this. Most societies have continued to return to a more normalised everyday life with released restrictions and we will see how the winter season ahead develops. The level of vaccinations differs within our markets, with Germany at the upper end of vaccinated people compared to Romania and Ukraine.
One aspect of the pandemic we believe will be a much higher, more accentuated awareness and understanding from the general public and
authorities of the need for access to preventative and diagnostic healthcare capacity and capability, something which will support long-term demand in our industry.
In the third quarter we have been active on the acquisition front and invested more than €50m in several smaller businesses within Healthcare Services. For example, the fertility business has expanded into two new markets, Denmark and Norway, strengthening our overall offer in fertility. We have also continued to expand our gym network in Poland, in order to strengthen our Medicover Sports offer. In addition, we have continued to supplement our strong organic growth and investment in the Polish dental market with acquisitions. Diagnostic Services has continued to expand its network of blood-drawing points (BDPs) with adding thirty new BDPs during the quarter.
Revenue in the third quarter grew with a robust 27.6% to €335.0m (€262.5m), with an organic growth of 23.9%. Growth in the underlying business is healthy with overall good demand and grew by 23.7% to €285.2m (€230.5m).
Fee-For-Service and other services (FFS) now represents 62 per cent of total revenue and increased by 39.9 per cent during the quarter.
EBITDA increased by 15.7% to €58.0m (€50.1m), representing an EBITDA margin of 17.3% (19.1%). In the comparative quarter profit was supported by government grants and higher Covid-19 margins, particularly from our Indian hospital business. The underlying business is progressing well on margin and although reported margin is down on prior year, on a like for like basis it is slightly higher.
Healthcare Services revenue grew by 20.7% to €176.7m (€146.4m), with an organic growth of 15.2%. The number of members in the integrated healthcare model grew by a healthy 11.2% year on year and has close to 1.5 million members. FFS grew 27.1 per cent in the quarter and represented 52 per cent of divisional revenue.
Healthcare Services EBITDA was €26.4m (€29.7m), an EBITDA margin of 15.0% (20.2%). Normalisation of medical service costs and utilisation levels within the integrated healthcare model impacted the margin, in addition to significantly less Covid-19 related revenue in our Indian business. Utilisation of digital services is still on a substantially higher level than before the pandemic.
Diagnostic Services revenue grew by a very strong 35.6%, with an organic growth of 34.2%, to €162.9m (€120.1m). The number of laboratory tests in the third quarter increased by a strong 18.6% to 32.4 million (27.4 million). FFS grew by 50.6 per cent in the quarter and represented 73 per cent of divisional revenue.
Diagnostic Services EBITDA grew a very strong 51.8% to €35.7m (€23.5m), an EBITDA margin of 21.9% (19.6%). Increased volume in the underlying business and Covid-19 services have contributed to the margin expansion.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty around how the pandemic will continue to impact societies and economies, we remain optimistic regarding both the short and mid-term outlook. The past months have clearly demonstrated the strength in our business model, and the strong underlying demand for our services. With
the current increase in virus spread, we expect testing levels to remain elevated alongside continued healthy growth in our underlying business.
Fredrik Rågmark CEO
Consolidated revenue amounted to €335.0m (€262.5m), up 27.6% with an organic growth of 23.9%. Revenue from the underlying business was €285.2m (€230.5m) and grew by 23.7% with an organic growth of 19.3%. Revenue from Covid-19 services amounted to €49.8m (€32.0m).
The underlying business performed well with good demand levels experienced across all areas. Summer seasonality has been disrupted to some degree with Covid-19 still influencing business and leisure travel. Economic activity has been strong in most markets, with a rebound in activity and tight labour markets being supportive of the economy.
The resurgence of Covid-19 infections in certain markets is a reflection of the low levels of vaccination in those markets and poor public policy administration. Medicover expects to see a strong correlation over the winter between infection rates and vaccination levels; consequently public health initiatives and demand for testing. In Poland 61% of the population is fully vaccinated, which is likely to lead to a manageable Covid-19 burden in the winter. Romania has 35% of the population fully vaccinated and Ukraine 15%. The low levels of vaccination are reflected in the increasing rates in demand of hospitalisation and will/already has lead to a large burden on the healthcare systems which is expected to continue into the winter.
During the quarter the Group continued to invest in infrastructure to support the gym and fitness business in Poland, adding 33 gyms to the network. Two acquisitions were made in the fertility business, a sperm bank in Denmark and a leading private IVF provider in Norway. In addition, a medical clinic and a dental business were acquired in Poland. The business overall has been further supported by organic investments and expansion across Medicover's markets.
Acquired revenue contributed €14.1m to revenue.
Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 1.7%, with largest weakness for the Polish zloty while the Ukrainian hryvna strengthened.
Healthcare Services revenue reached €176.7m (€146.4m), up 20.7% with an organic growth of 15.2%. Revenue from the underlying business was €165.8m (€130.4m) and grew by 27.2% with an organic growth of 20.9%. Revenue from Covid-19 services, mainly treating Covid-19 patients, amounted to €10.9m (€16.0m).
All business units have been able to operate in the quarter, with some facilities still dedicated to Covid-19 treatment. Demand levels have been robust in almost all units, however the process of transitioning from Covid-19 back to underlying business inevitably causes disruption with patient re-qualification for suitable treatments, diagnosis and scheduling to ensure facilities are run at a good operational level.
Employment and economic activity have been strong in the European markets, with a significant lack of labour and real wage increases.
Members increased by 11.2% to 1,464K (1,317K). Employers understand clearly the value of healthcare packages for their workforce, which is reflected in robust demand.
Fee-For-Service (FFS) activities have performed well with good demand levels and coping with any remaining restrictions related to Covid-19. Expansion of facilities has continued despite delays on commissioning as a result of government authority departments working at lower levels. Dental services in Poland have 294 dental chairs, up from 256 at year-end. Further greenfield openings are scheduled in the last quarter and into 2022.
The division operated 3,693 inpatient beds in a total of 30 hospitals.
Covid-19 related revenue in Medicover Hospitals India ('MHI') was €4.8m (€14.1m) in the quarter. At the end of the quarter MHI operated 18 hospitals in India (16 at year-end).
Fertility services were heavily impacted earlier particularly in India with very low levels of activity in April and May only restarting in June on any scale. Since then activity has continued to pick up to a normalised level of activity across all units. The fertility business has expanded into two new markets with the acquisition of a sperm bank in Denmark and a fertility provider in Norway.
A strong interest in Medicover Sport activities is resuming and the network of fitness clubs and gyms consists of 66 facilities across Poland (25 at year-end).
Acquired revenue contributed €11.5m to revenue.
Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 2.4%, with largest weakness for Poland.
Diagnostic Services revenue increased to €162.9m (€120.1m), up 35.6%, with an organic growth of 34.2%. Revenue from the underlying business was €124.0m (€104.1m) and grew by 19.1% with an organic growth of 17.2%. Revenue from Covid-19 services, mostly PCR and antibody/antigen testing, amounted to €38.9m (€16.0m).
A large proportion of the Covid-19 testing is contracted with and funded by health ministries or public health funds hence public paid funding grew by 7.3%. Private pay funding grew by 50.6% compared to prior year quarter as the BDP network was most impacted by Covid-19 restrictions in the comparative period.
The laboratory test volume increased by 18.6% to 32.4 million (27.4 million) including 2.2 million Covid-19 tests (0.5 million).
At the end of the quarter, the number of BDPs amounted to 809 (733 at year-end). Investment in infrastructure continues, as well as specific facilities and machinery to expand the range of tests. Delays in opening new BDPs have been encountered due to Covid-19 working practices of public approval authorities. A new central lab is being constructed in Frankfurt Oder which will increase capacity and allow for more automation. Medicover Genetics continues to expand its offering with its hub in Munich servicing customers from Europe. Laboratory testing and support services for clinical research continue to see strong demand.
Globally, the number of tests has decreased compared to earlier this year, however this is not reflected in Medicover's Covid-19-volume, which has increased as a result of tailor-made solutions for customers in, for example, the travel industry. This has changed the test mix and the level of profitability. Romanian authorities are focusing on lower cost antigen tests rather than PCR tests, which may be less reliable.
Acquired revenue contributed €2.6m to revenue.
Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 0.8%, with largest weakness for the Polish zloty while the Ukrainian hryvna strengthened.
Consolidated revenue amounted to €1,001.1m (€700.1m), up 43.0% with an organic growth of 44.1%. Revenue from the underlying business was €816.6m (€658.1m) and grew by 24.1% with an organic growth of 24.4%. Revenue from Covid-19 services amounted to €184.5m (€42.0m).
Growth has resumed and continuing investments and new capacity are contributing. Demand levels are robust with strong employment markets and increasing real salaries driving both disposable income and demand for employer paid healthcare.
Covid-19 has been a strong feature with peaks in the earlier part of the year in India and testing in the European markets.
Acquired revenue contributed €23.5m to revenue.
Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 4.5%, with largest weakness for Poland, India, Ukraine and Belarus.
Healthcare Services revenue reached €519.7m (€390.7m), up 33.0%, with an organic growth of 32.5%. Revenue from the underlying business was €460.7m (€373.6m) and grew by 23.3% with an organic growth of 22.1%.
Revenue from Covid-19 services amounted to €59.0m (€17.1m) with inpatient revenue in the Indian business being one of the largest contributors. Close to 15 thousand Covid-19 patients have been admitted to Indian inpatient facilities and more than 400 thousand vaccine doses administered.
111 thousand members have been added over the nine months with 45 thousand members in the last quarter. The strong employment markets in Healthcare Services operating countries have continued to support this business activity.
Acquired revenue contributed €18.9m to revenue.
Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 4.4%, with largest weakness for Poland and India.
Diagnostic Services revenue increased to €497.1m (€318.8m), up 55.9% with an organic growth of 59.1%. Revenue from the underlying business was €371.6m (€293.9m) and grew by 26.4% with an organic growth of 28.6%.
Revenue from Covid-19 services amounted to €125.5m (€24.9m). Covid-19 testing has been a very strong feature over the period. The laboratory test volume increased by 30.5% to 97.5 million (74.8 million) including 4.4 million (0.8 million) Covid-19 tests.
Acquired revenue contributed €4.6m to revenue.
Foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative impact of 4.6%, with all currencies weaker and most notably for Ukraine and Belarus.

Operating profit (EBIT) was €30.0m (€27.3m), an operating margin of 9.0% (10.4%). EBIT for the underlying business was €14.8m (€14.8m), an operating margin of 5.2% (6.4%). The estimate of EBIT from Covid-19 services was €15.2m (€12.5m) with a margin of 30.6% (39.0%). The strong overall financial performance was a result of the resilient level of demand for Medicover's services. Facilities that have been fully or partially dedicated to Covid-19 patients have by quarter-end largely transitioned back to business as usual.
Net profit amounted to €18.4m (€19.5m), which represented a margin of 5.5% (7.5%). Net profit was impacted by a total financial result of €-6.6m (€-5.8m) of which €-5.5m (€-3.8m) was related to interest expense and commitment fees on the Group's debt and other discounted liabilities. Within the interest expense €-3.6m (€-2.5m) was related to lease liabilities. As the Group has expanded its activities, including its leased premises, the cost of interest allocated to lease liabilities has increased. Foreign exchange losses were €-1.3m (€-2.3m) of which €-1.8m (€-1.2m) was related to euro denominated lease liabilities in Poland as the zloty weakened.
Basic/diluted earnings per share amounted to €0.123 (€0.108).
Consolidated EBITDA was €58.0m (€50.1m), increased by 15.7%, with an EBITDA margin of 17.3% (19.1%).
EBITDA for the underlying business grew by 11.1% to €41.7m (€37.6m), a margin of 14.6% (16.3%). When taking into account subsidies, acquisitions and the change in allocation of Covid-19 overheads, the underlying EBITDA margin has slightly increased.
Adjusted EBITDA was €60.7m (€52.0m) a margin of 18.1% (19.8%). Adjusted EBITDAaL increased to €45.5m (€40.0m), a margin of 13.6% (15.2%) driving the strong cash flow.
The contribution from Covid-19 revenue was estimated at an average of 32.7% (39.2%) EBITDA margin, which increased the overall EBITDA margin by approximately 2.7pp, corresponding to €16.3m (€12.5m).
In Q3 2020, profit was supported by €1.4m relating to government employment grants and reduction in property lease costs corresponding to approximately 0.5pp of margin.
Acquisition related expenses amounted to €-0.6m (€0.0m).
EBITDA for Healthcare Services was €26.4m (€29.7m), an EBITDA margin of 15.0% (20.2%).
EBITDA for the underlying business grew by 7.1% to €24.8m (€23.3m), an EBITDA margin of 15.0% (17.8%). The margin is lower due to a combination of factors. For MHI, in the comparative figures, the underlying business margin was relatively high due to the majority of MHI resources being dedicated to Covid-19 admissions. In the current quarter those resources have largely been re-orientated to the underlying business starting from the end of the second quarter after the wave of infections earlier in the year. Hence both the current and comparative quarter are disturbed and not reflective of underlying activity. All other units have seen a normalisation (increase) of medical costs as demand has resumed and business development / marketing activities have been restarted. Service demand levels in the funded business have normalised (increased), offset by continuing effects of digital delivery channels. Grants and cost reductions impacted the comparative quarter by €0.5m corresponding to approximately 0.4pp of margin.
The EBITDA contribution from Covid-19 services was estimated to €1.6m (€6.4m) a margin of 14.8%
(40.1%). EBITDAaL was €16.8m (€23.0m), a margin of 9.5% (15.6%).
Operating profit amounted to €9.9m (€16.7m), a margin of 5.6% (11.3%).
The employer paid services performed well throughout the quarter, with digital health channels being an ongoing preference for patients.
The Indian business has considerably less Covid-19 admissions versus prior quarter, likewise in Poland. Romania has experienced an upswing towards the end of the quarter with all beds dedicated to Covid-19 treatment being full at the end of the quarter.
Maternity services have been operating at normal levels of activity; slightly down versus prior year as competing public facilities are now operating without any Covid-19 restrictions.
Dental services in Poland have performed well, with an increase in number of facilities and a strong employment market.
Fertility services are recovering in India with normalisation of demand, however some residual impacts on the economy affect demand. The addition of the Norwegian business and the Danish sperm bank contributed to the overall activity. In Polish fertility services no negative impact from Covid-19 remains.
MHI closed two facilities, one in Hyderabad and one in Vizag, incurring a one-off cost of €-0.5m. The Vizag activity and doctors were moved to a new larger scale facility and in Hyderabad the activity was merged to a larger scale facility.
Medicover Sport is observing good demand for sports benefits packages and improving profitability since reopening at the end of May 2021.
EBITDA for Diagnostic Services was €35.7m (€23.5m), an EBITDA margin of 21.9% (19.6%).
EBITDA for the underlying business grew by 20.9% to €21.0m (€17.4m), a margin of 17.0% (16.7%), 0.3pp higher. This reflects the pickup in demand levels for underlying test volume, which increased by 12.7%. Costs have normalised. Government grants for employment and reduction in property lease costs were €0.9m in the comparative quarter, being approximately 0.8pp of margin. The EBITDA contribution from Covid-19 services was estimated to €14.7m (€6.1m) or approximately 4.9pp of margin. EBITDAaL was €30.1m (€18.3m), a margin of 18.5% (15.3%).
Operating profit was €24.6m (€14.2m), a margin of 15.1% (11.9%).
Demand for Covid-19 testing, although down from the higher levels in the second quarter have supported profitability, with variability between markets. Testing around vacation/travel and events has been supportive and contracts for businesses which require testing for customers' safety.
Covid-19 testing is expected to continue for some time due to the increasing infection rates and relatively low levels of vaccination in certain markets.
Operating profit (EBIT) was €117.8m (€31.4m) with an operating margin of 11.8% (4.5%), increased by the impact of Covid-19. EBIT for the underlying business was €56.2m (€15.8m), an operating margin of 6.9% (2.4%).
Net profit amounted to €78.2m (€8.5m), a margin of 7.8% (1.2%). Net profit was impacted by a total financial result of €-13.2m (€-19.6m), of which €-13.8m (€-14.3m) was related to interest expense and €0.1m (€-6.2m) to foreign exchange gains.
The Group has recognised an income tax charge of €-28.1m (€-3.4m) for the nine months. The effective tax rate is estimated at 26.5% (28.5%). The reduction in the estimated effective tax rate is a reflection of the change in the composition of the countries where profits are being made, with a normalisation of the distribution of business.
Basic/diluted earnings per share amounted to €0.501 (€0.054).
Consolidated EBITDA was €195.3m (€104.4m) with an EBITDA margin of 19.5% (14.9%).
EBITDA for the underlying business amounted to €131.5m (€88.6m), a margin of 16.1% (13.5%), a 2.6pp higher margin corresponding to €42.9m.
Adjusted EBITDA was €201.7m (€108.4m), a margin of 20.1% (15.5%). Adjusted EBITDAaL increased to €160.3m (€71.3m), a margin of 16.0% (10.2%) and is reflected in the strong cashflow.
The contribution from Covid-19 revenue was estimated at an average of 34.6% (37.5%) EBITDA margin, which increased the overall EBITDA margin by approximately 3.4pp, corresponding to €63.8m (€15.8m).
In the nine months 2020, there was a significant negative impact on the Group's operating
performance due to Covid-19. This has increased the comparative growth of the underlying business.
In the nine months 2020, temporary salary reductions (voluntary, furlough and government support) were €13.2m, reduction in property lease costs was €1.4m and other cost actions amounted to €3.1m for a total of €17.7m corresponding to 2.5pp of margin.
A non-cash impairment charge of €-5.2m was incurred in the comparative period.
Acquisition related expenses amounted to €-1.7m (€-0.7m).
EBITDA for Healthcare Services increased by 31.6% to €82.3m (€62.6m), an EBITDA margin of 15.8% (16.0%).
EBITDA for the underlying business grew by 21.2% to €67.3m (€55.6m), a margin of 14.6% (14.9%), a 0.3pp lower margin corresponding to €11.7m. Salary related reductions (voluntary, furlough and government support) in the nine months 2020 were €6.2m and reduction in property lease costs was €0.7m which effectively represented 1.9% of the underlying EBITDA margin in the comparative period. The EBITDA contribution from Covid-19 services was estimated to €15.0m (€7.0m) or 1.2pp of margin. EBITDAaL increased by 35.6% to €57.6m (€42.6m), a margin of 11.1% (10.9%).
Operating profit amounted to €37.3m (€20.2m), a margin of 7.2% (5.2%).
Underlying EBITDA margin development has been positively supported by volume recovering and continuing patient choices of digital channels for care delivery. The underlying EBITDA margin was negatively impacted by the disruption from changing between Covid-19 and underlying business particularly in India, restrictions on business operations such as the fitness chain and pressure on costs from salary inflation and staffing.
EBITDA for Diagnostic Services increased by 141.1% to €126.4m (€52.4m), an EBITDA margin of 25.4% (16.4%).
EBITDA for the underlying business grew by 77.8% to €77.6m (€43.6m), a margin of 20.9% (14.8%), a 6.1pp higher margin, corresponding to €34.0m.
Salary related reductions (voluntary, furlough and government support) in the nine months 2020 were €6.2m and reduction in property lease costs was €0.7m, which together represent approximately 2.4% of the underlying margin for the comparative period. The EBITDA contribution from Covid-19 services was estimated to €48.8m (€8.8m), a margin of 38.9% (35.3%) and impacted 4.5pp on the overall margin. EBITDAaL amounted to €109.9m (€35.6m), a margin of 22.1% (11.2%).
Operating profit amounted to €95.1m (€23.1m), a margin of 19.1% (7.3%)
Margin improvement has been a result of consistently higher volume over the 9 months. Increased labour costs due to inflation and tight labour supply offset the higher contribution. The majority of costs not related to labour have been stable due to long term contracts.

The pandemic has continued to impact lives and activities of populations around the world. The world is still adapting, after 20 months living in the Covid-19 reality. Although vaccines are being administered and rollout programmes very effective in some countries, there are still many, including Medicover countries, with low vaccination levels in the population. This is combined with a continuing presence of variants of the virus with higher infectiousness. Restrictions may be required again to be imposed in some countries with new Covid-19 waves such as in Romania.
The impact of the restrictions and behaviour changes are now being perceived, with more severe late-stage cancer cases and other chronic diseases becoming apparent. Pressure on public healthcare systems is increasing and result in funding gaps. Positive aspects are also being felt from the pandemic, particularly the shift to digital health care channels and public policy shifts to support rather than restrict digital care delivery.
Medicover's staff has been highly supportive of patients and the Group throughout this crisis. They have continued to work on frontline positions, whilst being concerned for themselves and families. All frontline staff who want to have been vaccinated. Pressure on frontline staff is currently very apparent in Romania where the situation is severe.
Increased public policy awareness of the requirement for robust health infrastructure, including laboratories and inpatient facilities, will be supportive of the sectors in the foreseeable future. A clear example of this is how well Germany's strong laboratory testing infrastructure coped with the pandemic demands.
Medicover has a strong degree of confidence in the continuing performance of the economies in its operating countries despite the effects of the pandemic. Medicover has invested to increase its ability to provide Covid-19 testing and care while transitioning from Covid-19 back to underlying demand. The Group has been able for selected customers to provide bespoke testing capability for their industry from retail to the cruise industry, airlines and airports with an expectation that the impact of the pandemic will continue for some time.

Medicover AB (publ), org no 559073–9487
We have reviewed the interim report for Medicover AB (publ) as at 30 September 2021 and for the ninemonth period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Account Acts for the Parent Company.

Medicover AB (publ) ("the Company") together with its subsidiaries are referred to as "the Group". Medicover AB (publ) is a company domiciled in Sweden, with its head office in Stockholm. The functional currency of the Company and the Group's presentation currency is the euro.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read together with the Group's consolidated financial statements 2020.
The report does not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements.
Information on pages 1-17 is an integral part of this report.
The Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in this report are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements 2020. Some amendments to existing standards became applicable as from 1 January 2021, however none of these have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or accounting policies.
The Group obtained control over Medicover Hospitals India ('MHI') in 2019. The purchase price allocation was completed at the end of 2020, this resulted in an additional deferred tax liability of €3.6m and goodwill of €3.6m due to timing differences relating to property, plant and equipment. The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2020 has been restated for these amounts.
In the interim report for January-September 2020, the total cash balance at the end of the period included €45.1m of liquid short-term investments. In this interim report, these have been restated and classified as short-term investments as at 30 September 2020.
The preparation of interim reports requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. Refer to the Group's consolidated financial statements 2020 for further information on the use of estimates and judgements.
The parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Alternative performance measures (APMs) are presented in this interim report since these are considered as important supplemental measures of the Company's performance. For definition and reconciliation of APMs, refer to

1) Financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost are considered to have carrying amounts that materially correspond to their fair value.
2) Amount does not reconcile with amount in the statement of financial position due to non-financial items.
3) Contingent consideration payable, borrowings and deferred consideration payable are presented as loans payable in the statement of financial position.
A breakdown of how fair value is determined is indicated in the following three levels:
Level 1: At 30 September 2020 and at year-end 2020 the Group had euro denominated bond funds based on level 1.
Level 2: The Group has foreign currency swaps where the valuation is based on level 2.
Level 3: The Group has the following financial assets and liabilities recurrently measured using level 3 fair value measurements.
a) The fair value of the contingent consideration payable, resulting from past business combinations, are based on the estimated outcome of future performance targets.
b) The Group is contractually obliged, at a future date, to acquire a non-controlling interest in one of the Group's German subsidiaries at market price determined at that future date. Fair value amounted to €20.1m (€18.9m). Due to contracted terms
disadvantaging the holder, it is estimated that the put option will be exercised in 2023 at the earliest.
The put option liquidity obligation with noncontrolling interests in MHI amounted to €40.9m (€27.0m). The increase is mainly explained by the expansion of activity. Half of the put options can be exercised from March 2023 and the remaining half from March 2027.
The put option liquidity obligation with noncontroling interests in other subsidiaries amounted to €13.6m (-). These are estimated to be exercised in 2026.
In determining the fair value of the put option liquidity obligations estimations of key variables were made, of which the most significant are the growth rate of the business to determine its profitability at the future date of exercise and the discount rate applied to the nominal value.
The following table summarises the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements.
