CEO STATEMENT

Performance in the third quarter was very strong and market dynamics continue to be favourable in our main operations with good demand for private healthcare. Our long history with strong organic growth continues and is ticking up further and complemented with additional acquisition growth. A strength of the business is the diversification with geographies, different payor and service models, complementing each other. I am pleased to see further margin expansion, evidencing our ability to turn scale and operating efficiency into additional profit.

Revenue grew 26.7% to €212.1m (€167.4m), with organic growth amounting to 17.4% in the quarter. EBITDA for the quarter increased strongly by 41.5% to €32.5m (€23.0m), a 160bps margin-expansion to 15.3% (13.7%), reflecting scale and operating leverage for both divisions.

Our strategy to grow private pay Fee-For-Service, both organically and through acquisitions, is being well executed in both divisions. This is illustrated by the Fee-For-Service segment increasing its quarterly revenue share versus last year in both divisions, in Healthcare Services to 39% (38%) and in Diagnostic Services to 66% (65%), representing strong growth of 32% and 27% for each division respectively versus prior year. For the Group, Fee-For-Service represented 51% of total revenue for the quarter and grew a strong 29% on the prior year period.

Healthcare Services' main growth drivers are our core business, the integrated healthcare model together with good performance for our Fee-For-Service offerings, as well as M&A activities. The division had another strong quarter with revenue growth of 30.0% lifting revenue to €113.0m (€86.9m), with organic growth of 19.6%. At the end of the quarter the division had 1.3 million members and grew 10.9% compared to the same period last year.

Healthcare Services EBITDA grew 29.5% to €16.8m (€13.1m), an EBITDA margin of 14.9% (14.9%).

We have continued to invest in India and our ownership in MaxCure now amounts to 49.2%. During the quarter the 11 MaxCure hospitals have been rebranded to Medicover Hospitals.

Diagnostic Services performed very well, and revenue grew by 23.2% to €102.3m (€83.1m) in the quarter with organic growth of 15.3%. All laboratory operations have grown very strongly. The number of laboratory tests grew by 11.0% to 26.4 million (23.8 million). A total of 18 new blood drawing points (BDPs) opened during the quarter and we are now operating a total of 627 BDPs across all geographies.

Diagnostic Services EBITDA increased by 42.6% to €18.8m (€13.3m), an EBITDA margin of 18.4% (15.9%), reflecting the normalisation in Germany and further scale and efficiency improvements across our network.

We expect to be above our medium-term financial targets of 18-20% organic adjusted EBITDAaL, which were communicated in connection with the IPO and which are valid until year end. Organic adjusted EBITDAaL growth amounted to 28.3% for the quarter and to 23.4% for the nine months. New financial targets for the company will be communicated in connection with the year-end report 2019.

We continue to see a favourable growth environment, reflecting the strong demand for private healthcare services and Medicover's strong brand and market position. Our focus remains on margin expansion and operating cash generation.

REVENUE THIRD QUARTER 2019

Consolidated revenue increased by 26.7% to €212.1m (€167.4m) with organic growth of 17.4%. All main revenue lines have grown strongly. Acquisitions made within the last 12 months contributed €16.1m of acquired revenue in the quarter representing just over third of the total year on year growth of €44.7m. These included Neomedic, a leading neonatology and obstetrics hospital group, Klein, a German genetic laboratory, Pelican, a hospital operator in Romania, as well as other Romanian and Polish businesses.

Healthcare Services revenue grew by a very strong 30.0% to €113.0m (€86.9m) with organic growth of 19.6%. Members grew by 10.9% to 1,293K versus prior year quarter (1,166K) with lower member growth than previous quarters from termination of contracts for profitability reasons.

The employment market in the major countries continues to be tight with full employment in many major cities. The trend for out of pocket Fee-For-Service being the larger component of organic growth in the first half has continued into the third quarter representing just over half of the organic growth. Fee-For-Service volume increased in the

quarter reflecting demand and the impact of acquisitions and prior investments. Healthcare Services continued to benefit from a good economic background in the major countries of operation.

During the quarter Medicover acquired a dental company operating 3 clinics in Poland.

The MaxCure group, which is an associate and not consolidated, had revenue of approximately €17.6m (€14.1m) with local currency growth of 20.2%. Over the quarter additional existing shares were acquired for €1.5m increasing the interest in MaxCure to 49.2% from 46.7%.

Diagnostic Services revenue grew by 23.2% to €102.3m (€83.1m) with organic growth of 15.3%. The Romanian currency was weaker, the Polish zloty slightly weaker, offset by the Ukrainian currency maintaining its strength. The laboratory test volume increased by 11.0% to 26.4 million (23.8 million).

All markets grew strongly reflecting economic development and contribution from prior period investments. Underlying growth in the German laboratory business is clear. This was from a mixture of growth of number of customers and also doctors' referral patterns largely normalised. Volume development was good given that the third quarter is seasonally the lowest for the segment.

The continuing strong economic development in the fast growing markets has led to increased ability to self-pay for healthcare and the expansion of access through more BDPs supports this growth. During the quarter, 18 new BDPs were opened and 5 closed, bringing the total to 627 locations at quarter end.

REVENUE NINE MONTHS 2019

Consolidated revenue increased by a very strong 25.3% to €614.7m (€490.4m) with organic growth of 15.1%. Growth has been slightly weighted to the Healthcare Services segment being 58.5% of the organic growth.

Revenue recognised from acquisitions made in the last twelve months was €51.2m, just over 40% of the total growth.

Healthcare Services revenue grew by 30.6% to €324.5m (€248.4m) with organic growth of 17.5%. A favourable employment market combined with continued good economic development are driving member and revenue growth in the employer funded business. The Fee-For-Service business in both Poland and Romania grew at a faster rate but from a smaller base. The net increase of medical facilities amounted to 27 reaching 195 at the end of the period.

The MaxCure group, which is an associate and not consolidated, had revenue of €49.9m (€41.6m) with local currency growth of 17.7%. The restructuring of the share capital has been completed in 2019 and additional existing shares were acquired for €2.5m, increasing the interest in MaxCure group to 49.2% from 45.1%. Construction work continues with 2 new cancer treatment centres to be commissioned in first half 2020.

Diagnostic Services revenue grew by 20.0% to €300.1m (€250.1m) with organic growth of 13.1%. Growth is strong in all markets, but being particularly marked in Ukraine and Romania.

Revenue for the center for genetic diagnostics of Dr. Klein, Dr. Rost, and colleagues ("Klein") which was acquired in January 2019 amounted to €11.9m.

71 new BDPs were opened and 14 were closed bringing the total to 627 BDPs.

The laboratory test volume increased by 9.0% to 79.9 million (73.3 million), with the increase being predominantly driven from private pay markets and weighted to higher value tests.

PROFIT DEVELOPMENT THIRD QUARTER 2019

Operating profit (EBIT) increased very strongly by 66.7% to €14.3m (€8.6m) with an operating margin expansion to 6.7% (5.1%).

Profit for the period amounted to €6.3m (€6.7m), a margin of 3.0% (4.0%), which was impacted by a share of losses of MaxCure for the year recognised in the third quarter of €-0.9m and foreign exchange losses on lease liabilities of €-1.2m (gain of €0.8m) recognised within the financial result.

Other costs of €-0.8m (other income of €1.1m) included in the movement for non-cash fair value changes in puts written and calls held over share interests in MaxCure.

Net financial cost amounted to €-3.7m (€-0.9m). €3.5m (€1.5m) of interest was charged on the Group's debt, commitment fees and other discounted liabilities. €1.8m (€1.4m) of the interest charged was in relation to lease liabilities. Foreign exchange losses were €-0.9m (gain of €0.5m) and interest income earned on cash balances amounted to €0.7m (€0.1m).

Basic/diluted earnings per share amounted to €0.043 (€0.045).

Consolidated EBITDA increased by 41.5% to €32.5m (€23.0m), an EBITDA margin of 15.3% (13.7%). Adjusted EBITDA was €33.2m (€23.9m) increasing by 38.8% and with a margin of 15.6% (14.3%). Adjusted EBITDAaL amounted to €23.0m (€15.8m), an increase of 45.5% with a margin of 10.8% (9.4%). 28.3% of this increase was organic.

The improvement predominantly reflected the increased revenue in both divisions and flow through to profit, driven by growth, increasing volume in existing facilities as well as acquisitions.

Items affecting comparability

The MaxCure equity stake along with certain rights to call shares and obligations to fulfil put options over MaxCure shares was acquired in the fourth quarter 2017. As these options are recognised as financial instruments they are required to be fair valued using valuation models. The revaluations amounted to €-0.8m (€1.1m), recognised in other income/costs.

EBITDA for Healthcare Services increased by 29.5% to €16.8m (€13.1m), an EBITDA margin of 14.9% (14.9%). Organic growth was 10.2% for the quarter. EBITDAaL increased by 33.1% to €11.8m (€9.0m). Contribution from increased volume of activities in major business lines has strongly supported profit development. Cost pressure remains in medical costs in all markets. Pricing is disciplined with likely some dampening of growth rates but supportive of margin development. Acquisitions impacting the quarter include several Polish dental practises and Neomedic in Poland. Neomedic has been consolidated since May. This acquisition has boosted the inpatient activities of the segment and adds 236 beds across 3 hospitals in southern Poland. Medicover is investing to expand the capabilities of Neomedic.

Operating profit increased by 30.6% to €7.1m (€5.6m), a margin of 6.3% (6.3%). All major business units grew strongly in the quarter across all markets.

The segment results were driven by the increase in employer funded members, good growth of the Fee-For-Service business areas such as dental, hospital admissions as well as acquisitions. The expansion of the Pelican hospital is in construction with commissioning expected first half 2020. This will add 100 beds to the current hospital capacity of 142 beds with new medical modalities, expansion of the intensive care unit (ICU) department and new medical imaging diagnostics.

The two main markets for Healthcare Services, Poland and Romania, continued to see strong demand for privately paid healthcare services, driven by strong economic development and real wage growth.

EBITDA for Diagnostic Services increased by 42.6% to €18.8m (€13.3m), an EBITDA margin of 18.4% (15.9%), of which 36.4% was organic growth. EBITDAaL increased by 48.6% to €13.7m (€9.3m), a margin of 13.4% (11.1%).

Operating profit increased by 65.2% to €10.6m (€6.4m), a margin of 10.4% (7.8%).

The German clinical business continued to develop with additional doctors within the existing infrastructure were starting to feed through to profitability and existing doctors improving productivity as patients get to know the Medicover clinics and services. The total number of clinics operating was 27 (19) with a new clinic added in Frankfurt in the quarter.

PROFIT DEVELOPMENT NINE MONTHS 2019

Operating profit (EBIT) grew by 41.9% to €35.7m (€25.1m) with an operating margin of 5.8% (5.1%).

Profit for the period was €18.1m (€20.7m), a margin of 2.9% (4.2%) with lower other income/costs of €-0.2m (€8.0m) mainly relating to fair value changes. Excluding other income/costs, net profit increased strongly by 44.1% from €12.7m to €18.3m.

For the nine months, a loss of €-0.8m was recognised for associates. MaxCure is in a loss position due to the development projects, investments and opening of a new hospital.

Net financial cost amounted to €-9.8m (€-7.2m). €-9.9m (€-6.8m) of interest was charged on the Group's debt, commitment fees and other discounted liabilities. Interest income earned on cash balances amounted to €1.4m (€0.7m). Within the interest charged €5.1m (€4.2m) was related to lease liabilities. Foreign exchange losses were €-1.3m (€-1.1m), of which €-0.9m (€-1.2m) are related to lease liabilities.

Basic/diluted earnings per share were €0.120 (€0.145).

Consolidated EBITDA increased by 31.4% to €87.3m (€66.4m), an EBITDA margin of 14.2% (13.5%), despite higher merger and acquisition related costs being charged for the period.

Operating profit amounted to €15.4m (€11.0m), an increase of 40.8% with an operating margin of 4.8% (4.4%).

EBITDA for Diagnostic Services increased by 30.0% to €57.0m (€43.9m), an EBITDA margin of 19.0% (17.5%), of which 25.2% was organic growth. EBITDAaL increased by 31.6% to €42.7m (€32.5m), a margin of 14.2% (13.0%). Strong underlying customer demand and volume increase has supported the performance of the segment with flow through to profit of increased contribution.

Operating profit for the segment followed a similar trend with 38.1% growth to €33.9m (€24.5m), a margin of 11.3% (9.8%). Good economic activity in Romania, Ukraine and Poland continued to support out of pocket private pay demand. Diagnostic Services continues to invest in accessibility to services and has increased its number of BDPs and distribution in all geographies, with the addition of 57 BDPs in 2019.

Investments for acquisitions of subsidiaries and associates amounted to €5.4m (€21.0m). Interest received was €0.8m (€0.2m) earned on cash investments in liquid instruments.

Net loans repaid amounted to €1.9m (net loans drawn €48.2m). Leases repaid were €7.5m (€6.3m). Interest paid amounted to €3.5m (€3.5m), of which €1.8m (€1.4m) related to lease liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by €12.6m to €39.8m.

Nine months

Cash generated from operations before working capital changes and taxes paid amounted to €89.6m (€69.3m), being 102.7% of EBITDA (104.4%). Net working capital increased by €17.1m (increase of €2.2m) with an increase in stock, receivables and payables, reflecting the growth in the business. Cash paid tax was €10.1m (€9.3m). Net cash from operating activities was €62.4m (€57.8m).

Investments in tangible and intangible assets amounted to €38.0m (€27.6m) with approximately 56% being growth capital investment and 44% being maintenance investment.

Investments for acquisitions of subsidiaries and associates amounted to €72.8m (€45.5m), with €59.4m paid in cash for the acquisition of Neomedic. Interest received was €1.4m (€0.7m) earned on cash investments in liquid instruments.

Net loans drawn amounted to €89.0m (net loans drawn €69.7m) with a switch in funding during the year from the Group's revolving credit facility to the Group's commercial paper program. Leases repaid were €21.7m (€17.9m). Interest paid amounted to €9.8m (€7.4m), of which €5.1m (€4.2m) related to lease liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by €0.5m to €39.8m.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Consolidated equity as at 30 September 2019 amounted to €330.4m (€317.5m). The increase in the levels of equity resulted from profit for the nine months and positive movements on translation reserves.

Loans payable amounted to €234.2m (€131.3m) and lease liabilities of €153.1m (€125.4m) for total financial debt of €387.3m (€256.7m). Loans payable net of cash amounted to €194.4m, thus up from €92.9m at year end 2018 funding acquisitions, of which Neomedic was the largest. The ratio of loans payable net of cash to adjusted EBITDAaL for the prior twelve months was 2.5x, up from 1.5x at year end. This has increased temporarily with the largest acquisitions of 2019 yet to be reflected for a full year basis in the earnings measure.

Lease liabilities increased by €27.7m over the nine months with just two thirds being within the organic business with new leases or extensions recognised and one third being as the recognition of leases in acquired businesses.

The Group is also using its commercial paper program backed by its revolving credit facility to achieve lower cost of borrowing. The commercial paper program is classified as short-term debt with maturities of up to six months, however the Group's committed revolving credit facility mitigates any liquidity risks.

After the end of the quarter, the Group issued a schuldschein loan in Germany for €120m with maturities of 5 and 7 years with fixed and floating rate tranches improving its liquidity profile at attractive rates.

TAX

The Group's effective tax rate for the year is forecasted to be 27.0% (29.0%) with a tax charge for the nine months 2019 of €6.8m (€5.5m). Cash

PARENT COMPANY

There was no significant revenue. The loss after tax was €-1.9m (€-1.5m) in the quarter and €-5.3m (€-3.6m) for the nine months. The parent company's assets consist of investments in subsidiaries. The business is financed with equity contributed by the owners and a short-term commercial paper program launched in June 2019. €179.8m was drawn at quarter end. The proceeds

RISK FACTORS

Apart from the risks described in the 'Risk and risk management' section of the management report in the annual report 2018 (pages 44-47), no other significant new risks are deemed to have emerged.

REVIEW REPORT

Medicover AB (publ), org no 559073–9487

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Medicover AB (publ) as at 30 September 2019 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.

Scope of 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. 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.

Conclusion

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.

1 EBITDA under previous accounting standards was reported as the segment measure of profit or loss. This has been changed to EBITDAaL under the new accounting standard, IFRS 16, Leases, as applicable from 1 January 2019. The difference between EBITDA as previously reported and EBITDAaL for nine months 2018 was €1.0m, split between €0.7m in Healthcare Service and €0.2m in Diagnostic Services, with the balance of €0.1m for central services.

As almost all sales in each geography are denominated in the countries' respective currency the above table shows the exposure of the Group to foreign currency risks for revenue. Within the Healthcare Services segment, revenue for

insurance contracts for 2019 was €169.4m (€150.7m). For further information on insurance contracts, see the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018: note 4 on page 67.

4. Significant business combinations

Preliminary purchase price allocation has been performed, subject to change in the next twelve months from the acquisition date, presented below.

In January 2019, the Group acquired 100% of the voting rights in the center for genetic diagnostics of Dr. Klein, Dr. Rost and colleagues ("Klein") located near Munich in Germany for a total consideration of €25.3m including contingent and deferred liabilities of €3.9m. €21.4m was released from money deposited in an escrow account in 2018. €2.7m has been allocated to other intangibles. €20.0m goodwill was recognised on this acquisition, unallocated to specific intangibles representing expected synergies with existing operations. Included in the income statement for the nine months is revenue of €11.9m and net operating profit of €1.0m.

In May 2019, 100% of the voting rights in Neomedic has been acquired for a total consideration of €69.0m including debt assumed. €4.0m has been allocated to other intangibles. €47.1m goodwill was recognised on this acquisition, unallocated to specific intangibles representing expected synergies with existing operations. Included in the income statement is revenue of €13.0m and net operating profit of €3.7m. If this acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2019, Group consolidated revenue would have been €9.7m higher and net operating profit would have been €2.1m higher.

In the nine months 2019, the following cash flows (net of cash acquired) were paid in relation of business combinations.

5. Financial assets and liabilities

The following table shows the Group's significant financial assets and liabilities. All financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised cost with the exception of:

  • derivative financial instruments being reported at fair value through profit or loss;
  • a put option liability over non-controlling interests in one of the Group's subsidiaries being reported at fair value with the changes in fair value being reported to equity as a transaction between shareholders;
  • contingent consideration payable in relation to acquisitions;
  • a financial liability arising from an agreement with a third party that entitles the other party to

receive cash based on the value of equity instruments of an associate, carried at fair value through profit or loss;

  • certain call and put options written over shares of an associate, carried at fair value less deferred day one profit or loss, with the fair value re-measurement at each reporting date being reflected in the income statement along with the release of the initial deferral; and
  • investments in equity instruments accounted for at fair value through profit or loss.

All financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost are considered to have carrying amounts that materially correspond to their fair value; for loan borrowings this is due to floating interest rates.

Recognised fair value measurements - valuation technique and principal inputs

A breakdown of how fair value is determined is indicated in the following three levels:

Level 1: Medicover presently has no financial assets or liabilities where the valuation is based on level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows. Discounting is based on quoted market rates on comparable instruments at the balance sheet date.

Level 3: The Group has the following financial assets and liabilities recurrently measured using level 3 fair value measurements. Sensitivity of fair value of financial assets and liabilities to reasonably possible variations of unobservable inputs is presented in a table below Sensitivity – valuation inputs and relationships to fair value:

a) The Group is contractually obliged to acquire at a future date a non-controlling interest at a market price determined at that future time. This put option relates to one of the Group's German subsidiaries. The valuation is based on management's estimate of the exercise date and the expected valuation of the put option at that time. Due to contracted terms disadvantaging the holder, it is estimated that the put option will be exercised in 2023 at the earliest. In determining the fair value of the obligation, estimations of key variables are made, of which the most significant are the growth rate of the business to determine its profitability at the future date of exercise (compound rate of 5.5% at the end of Q3 2019 and in 2018) and the discount rate applied to the nominal value (0.6% at the end of Q3 2019 and 1.7% in 2018). This is a level 3 fair value technique with subsequent changes in fair value of the future obligation recognised as a movement within equity.

b) The Group has rights to invest in an associate to inject new capital and to acquire a set number of existing shares at a price per share-based upon a

formula linked to a profit measure. In addition, the Group has written put option agreements to certain investors to acquire the shareholding in the future, these can be exercised anytime between March 2020 and March 2023 and between March 2024 and March 2027 or until they cease to be shareholders. The model used for fair valuing these financial instruments is a Monte Carlo simulation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the options, the underlying equity value at grant date and expected volatility, the risk free interest rate for the term of the option and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies. Each option was valued individually. Market observable input for share price volatility was based on a group of listed Indian hospital stocks, matched to the duration of the options being valued. Volatility input ranged from 36.6%- 38.2%. Market observable growth rates of profitability were used for the same group of stocks also matched to duration of the options. Observable growth rate amounted to 9.2% and volatility to 18.1%.

c) Other financial assets at fair value through profit and loss include a purchase of 11.2% of shares in an innovative biotechnology company that is specialised in non-invasive diagnostics for a total of €2.8m.

d) The Group has a contractual obligation to an unrelated third party in relation to the investment in the associate for services rendered in sourcing and negotiating the transaction and ongoing assistance in mergers and acquisitions as well as corporate governance of the associate. This is remunerated through a contract that grants the advisor a simulated participation in the Group's investment. The liability has been measured at the purchase date using a model relying upon observable and unobservable inputs related to the associate specifically projected growth of underlying profits and estimates of the likely date of exercise and

payment of the obligation. The observable inputs relate to discount rates for the equity risks for the listed Indian hospital sector, represented by some 9 listed entities. The rate used at acquisition date was 12.1% and at the end of Q3 2019 revalued to 13.2% (12.9% at year end 2018). Management felt that this was a more appropriate model than one weighted to market based information. The expectations for growth are higher than market rates given the infusion of funds that Medicover is likely to make over 2019 and the resulting boost to growth and profitability above the hospital sector averages in India. This gives a more prudent and more reliable estimation of the eventual liability likely to be payable. As the contractual obligation is payable regardless of subsequent assistance in areas identified above, the total liability is recognised at acquisition and subequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date with differences accounted through profit or loss.

e) The fair value of contingent considerations payable is based on an estimated outcome of the conditional purchase price/contingent payments arising from contractual obligations. This is initially recognised as part of the purchase price and subsequently fair valued with changes recorded in the profit or loss. During the quarter, an additional €0.3m has been recognised as contingent consideration relating to acquisitions based on future performance targets. No additional material changes have occurred to any related assumptions over the quarter until 30 September 2019.

No financial assets or financial liabilities have been reclassified between the valuation categories in 2019.

Unobservable valuation differences on initial recognition

As described in section b) above, the Group has entered into certain call and put option agreements over shares of an associate. The strike price of these acquisitions/ subscriptions is to be determined based upon formulas linked to profitability with price caps in some cases. The fair

value of these options was determined using valuation techniques which rely on some observable inputs, including volatility of share prices of listed entities in the same field and market profit growth rates of similar listed entities, but also rely on unobservable inputs particularly in respect of inputs specific to the associate. The Group views these fair value calculations as reasonable given comparable observable price metrics that are considerably higher even when adjusted for liquidity and size. The accounting policy of the Group is that upon initial recognition of the financial instruments the Group recognises the fair value and will account for the difference between cost and fair value as an adjustment to bring the carrying amount in line with the transaction price. The net profit will be deferred by reducing the initial carrying amount of the net asset. This reduction will then be reversed in the income statement over the life of the options until exercised or lapsed. Management has judged that this gives assurance of the underlying value of the shares covered by the options as the associate increases its profitability. Subsequent fair value re-measurement of the options at each reporting date is reflected in profit or loss along with the release of the initial deferral.

The exercise price of the call options to increase the investment is based on a surrogate for the fair value of the shares at the date of exercise. A valuation of the four call options and two put options has been performed using a Monte Carlo simulation model at inception with a defined set of variables and volatility. The fair value of the call and put options amounted to 5.8m (€7.6m at year end 2018) and €6.2m (€6.0m at year end 2018) respectively at the end of the quarter. Any subsequent change in fair value will be recognised in profit or loss.

The aggregate difference yet to be recognised in the profit or loss at the beginning and end of the period and a reconciliation of the changes of the balance during the period for derivative assets and liabilities are outlined below:

10. Events after balance sheet date

Just after the period end, to improve the Group's liquidity, a schuldschein loan was issued in the German market for €120m with 5 and 7 year tranches and fixed and floating rates. The issue was oversubscribed and increased from the initial target of €100m, being well received with a good

spread of counterparties. This issue opened a new funding source for the Group providing diversification of its funding counterparties and longer maturity profiles. The proceeds will be used to repay debt under the Group's revolving credit facility.

11. Definition and reconciliation of alternative performance measures (APM)

In its decision making, the Group uses some alternative performance measures (APMs) that are not defined in IFRS. They are used because they provide information useful to assess the Group's development and performance. These measures should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to the measures presented in accordance with IFRS. These APMs may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The main alternative performance measures used by the Group are explained and reconciled below. As from Q3 2019 margins (including margins of comparative figures) and growth rates have been calculated based on EUR whole figures instead of figures rounded in millions.

Acquired revenue

Represents revenue recognised from acquired businesses in the first 12 months from the acquisition. This represents non-organic growth. If there is significant expansion of the acquired business post-acquisition due to investments made post-acquisition and such revenue can be readily identified then this additional revenue is excluded from acquired revenue.

Organic revenue

Organic revenue combines real internally generated growth and also comprises price changes. This represents the growth of the business after removing the impact of acquisitions and disposals or other scope changes as well as exchange rate movements. This provides a "like for like" comparison with the previous year or period in constant scope and constant currency enabling a deeper understanding of the business and evolution of revenue.

The revenue of an acquired business is generally excluded for the 12 months following the business combination, but revenue generated by postacquisition expansion of the business due to investments made subsequent to acquisition, if significant, are included. Revenue of disposed businesses is removed from the comparatives for the 12 months prior to the disposal. The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates are calculated

as the current year's revenue less the current year's revenue converted at the prior year's rates.

Organic revenue growth

Organic growth is the comparison of organic revenue for the current year to the comparable prior year revenue, expressed as a percentage or absolute figure.

EBITA

Earnings before interest, other financial income/(expense), tax, amortisation and impairment, other income/(costs) and share of profit/(loss) of associates.

EBITDA

Earnings before interest, other financial income/(expense), tax, amortisation, depreciation and impairment, other income/(costs) and share of profit/(loss) of associates. This is a measure that investors and other users find useful in appraising and understanding the Group's activities.

EBITAaL

EBITA, as defined above, reduced by depreciation and interest charges associated with leases. This APM gives a measure of performance that equates more closely to the cash flow of the business and is used by management in making decisions and accountability.

EBITDAaL

EBITDA, as defined above, reduced by depreciation and interest charges associated with leases. This APM gives a measure of performance that equates more closely to the cash flow of the business and is used by management in making decisions and accountability.

Adjusted EBITA

EBITA, as defined above, adjusted for non-cash equity settled share-based payments as well as merger and acquisition related expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, as defined above, adjusted for non-cash equity settled share-based payments as well as merger and acquisition related expenses.

Adjusted EBITAaL

Adjusted EBITA, as defined above, reduced by depreciation and interest charges associated with leases.

Adjusted EBITDAaL

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, reduced by depreciation and interest charges associated with leases.
