Scandinavia behind profit improvement

In the second quarter, we started the integration of Team OIivia Care. With a larger and more specialised operations in disabled care and in individual and family care, we have excellent opportunities to become the leading provider in these segments. Through the acquisition and positive development in our own operations, we have more than doubled underlying profits in Scandinavia compared with the previous year.

In Finland, we report a result in line with the previous year, where a slightly lower result in care for older people has been offset by higher results in disabled care and social psychiatry.

It is also pleasing to see the results of our goal oriented efforts to be recognised as the best employer in the sector. Our long-term success is based on committed employees who provide customers with good and safe care. During the quarter, our internal surveys showed a record-high recommendation rate for Attendo as an employer, combined with continued high ratings in the latest customer surveys.

High growth driven by acquisitions Sales increased by 12 per cent in the second quarter to SEK 4,841m, mainly driven by the acquisition of Team Olivia Care and price adjustments in Finland. Adjusted for nonrecurring items, the underlying lease-adjusted operating profit (EBITA) in the quarter increased by SEK 40m to SEK 187m (147). Free cash flow continues to increase and the financial position is strong.

Maintained profit in Finland in spite of negative cost/price effect

Sales in Attendo Finland increased by 6 percent during the quarter.

Compared with the result for the second quarter of 2023, there is a negative effect of high salary increases in the autumn of 2023, which on a quarterly basis was not offset by price adjustments. However, on an annualized basis, we expect price adjustments to fully compensate for the cost increases.

We have also had higher staffing levels in the operations in preparation for welcoming new customers. Average occupancy during the quarter has been lower than expected. However, we could see a positive development towards the end of the quarter.

The negative effects on results, which primarily affect care for older people, have been offset by improved results in disabled care and social psychiatry.

Improved earnings in Scandinavia driven by acquisitions and own operations

Sales in Attendo Scandinavia increased by 21 percent, mainly driven by the acquisition of Team Olivia Care, by more beds sold and by price adjustments in own nursing homes. Underlying profit, adjusted for integration and exit costs, more than doubled during the quarter to SEK 75m (36). The improvement in profit is mainly driven by the acquisition of Team Olivia Care, profit improvements in own nursing homes and reduced losses in the Danish operations.

The contribution from the acquisition is in line with both our own expectations and what we have previously communicated. Occupancy in Attendo Scandinavia has increased by one percentage point since the first quarter and we have had solid development in own care homes during the quarter. At the same time, the termination of profitable outsourcing contracts at the end of 2023 had a negative impact on both sales and earnings.

As part of focusing the Danish operations on our own operated nursing homes, we divested the Danish home care business during the quarter, which resulted in a negative one-off cost in the quarter. The divestment will improve profitability in Denmark going forward.

Martin Tivéus, President and CEO

Our goal is to be the leading care provider supporting both individuals and society in the years to come.

Our financial targets

Attendo has a previous target of achieving adjusted earnings of SEK 4 per share, which is still expected to be achieved in 2024. In May 2024, we presented new financial targets to achieve adjusted earnings per share of at least SEK 5.50 in 2026. We expect to achieve underlying growth in operating profit of at least 10 percent annually, driven by increased occupancy, operational efficiency, price adjustments, new units and continuous add-on acquisitions in existing segments. In addition, we expect positive effects from continuous share buybacks. With a strong cash flow, we have good opportunities for active capital allocation in the form of new investments combined with share buybacks and dividends. The debt target, measured as adjusted net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA, is for Attendo to be between 1.5-2.5x.

Increasingly engaged employees

Promoting employee engagement is key to good care. A central part of creating favourable conditions locally is increased leader density and committed leadership. Hence, we place great emphasis on developing the leadership in all levels of the organisation. During the quarter, we gathered nearly 900 leaders at Attendo in various forums to discuss future prospects, share experiences and celebrate common successes. We also recognised the best care units in both Sweden and Finland, which is an important part of our work to highlight and honour employees who have been particularly successful in their care assignments.

In recent years, our employee surveys have shown a steady increase in engagement and pride. This quarter's survey showed the best result to date, well above the industry average. The recommendation score for Attendo as an employer was +26 in the second quarter (scale -100 to +100), up from +11 for the corresponding period in 2023.

Measuring how our customers experience their care is an equally central part of our work on quality and social sustainability. We measure the results regularly using both internal and external surveys. The second quarter results show continued positive development in both business areas. The combined customer satisfaction score (cNPS) for the Group as a whole in the latest measurements was +45 (+40). In other words, our methodical work is having an effect, for example by working in a structured way on quality of life. But it is also an indication that employee engagement and customer satisfaction go hand in hand.

Diversity, equality and inclusion are key elements of our corporate culture. In Finland, we celebrated LGBT rights in June by celebrating Pride month both locally and by participating in the big parade in Helsinki on 29 June. Another example of employee engagement and inclusion is that during the quarter we organised a music festival (Simon Festarit) for people with disabilities in northern Finland.

We support both individuals and society

Society's need for increasingly specialised care in disability care and individual and family care is growing. We believe in care where the individual is at the centre, where each person should be able to live their everyday life according to their personal wishes and needs. With the acquisition of Team Olivia, we now have even better opportunities to support different individuals with more competent and committed employees, while together we have greater resources to develop central support for method and quality work.

For payors, this means we will be a better partner with greater breadth, depth and ability to manage complex care needs. In addition, we continue to strengthen our capacity and offer in care for older people to meet the needs of an ageing population. Long-term trends show a rising demand for care with increased health care and social care content, regardless of the care segment. Our goal is to be the leading care provider supporting both individuals and society in the years to come.

Sustainable care

Attendos shall create value for customers and relatives, employees and payors through high-quality care that meets the needs of the future, while acting responsibly in the society and and towards the environment and climate.

Putting the customer first improves care

Focusing on the customer's needs and experience is central to all work within Attendo. Customer satisfaction is therefore one of the most central measures to develop the company.

The weighted customer satisfaction score (cNPS) for the group as a whole in the most recent measurements was +45 (+40). The share of customers who recommend Attendo as a care provider is increasing in both Attendo Finland and Attendo Scandinavia.

The measurements show that a strong focus on communication and participation in the care planning is important, where, for example, Attendo's app for relatives is recognized as an important tool.

The latest surveys also show indications that the work to measure and take actions focused on improving the quality of life, through Attendo's work with the ASCOT and RAI methods, has a positive effect on overall customer satisfaction.

One of Attendo's long-term goals is to be the preferred choice for employees in the care industry. Providing leaders and employees with the best conditions for their work is also central to a positive customer experience, characterised by high and stable quality.

Both business areas are running structured programmes to involve employees in the development of their workplace, with specific time set aside for discussions on working methods, needs and improvements for customers and employees.

The work is underpinned with a continued strong focus on competence development, with additional and enhanced training programmes launched during the year. Investing time in knowledge sharing and training makes it easier for employees to do the right thing on a day-to-day basis and leads to fewer deviations.

Investments in leadership and employees take employee satisfaction to highest level measured so far

This May, all operational and support leaders in each of the business areas gathered for Atteendo's annual leadership days, involving around 900 people in total.

These are highly appreciated forums for networking, sharing experiences and inspiration to develop the future of care.

Attendo's strong focus on leadership and people is paying off: the weighted employee satisfaction score (eNPS) for the group as a whole was +26 (+11) in the most recent measurements, the highest level measured to date.

* A group-wide survey during Q4 2023 of payors' views of Attendo, where payors were asked about their satisfaction with Attendo as a partner in general and in specific areas. The response rate to the survey was relatively low, which affects the ability to draw definitive conclusions.

Quality audits and deviations

Attendo has strict procedures for handling deviations in the care operations. This includes procedures for reporting, managing and following up on any deviations from internal guidelines or working methods, as well as serious incidents that have led to or risked leading to care related injuries for individuals (Lex Sarah and Lex Maria in Sweden).

Scandinavia

During the second quarter, a total of 11 cases from Sweden were reported to the supervisory authority IVO according to Lex Sarah or Lex Maria.

Finland

The total number of open cases was 14 at the end of the quarter. The surveillance of elderly care is increasingly being transferred to the new welfare regions, resulting in a lower number of open AVI cases. As the roles and systems develop, Attendo will update its reporting in order to provide the most accurate reflection of ongoing cases.

Measuring and following up satisfaction among customers, relatives, employees and payors is an important part of Attendo's work for sustainable care.

Profits in line with last year

April - June 2024

Net sales in Attendo Finland amounted to SEK 2,790m (2,632), corresponding to a growth of 6.0 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased by 5.5 percent, equivalent to organic growth. The growth is explained by increased net sales mainly due to price adjustments.

Occupancy was in line with the comparison quarter and first quarter 2024.

Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 131m (131) and the margin was 4.7 percent (5.0). Overall, the profit was in line with the previous year. The profit in nursing homes decreased slightly. Personnel costs were high as occupancy was weaker than planned and the staffing law requires full staffing before customers can move in. In relation to the comparison quarter, wage increases and cost inflation were higher than price increases. The profit in disabled care and social psychiatry increased.

IFRS16-related effects on operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 85m (87). The comparison quarter included a capital gain for terminated contracts of approximately SEK 7m.

Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 216m (218) and the operating margin (EBITA) amounted to 7.7 percent (8.3). Currency effects were immaterial.

During the quarter Attendo opened two homes in care for older people with 147 beds and closed a number of beds. Attendo started building three homes with a total of 151 beds. The number of beds under construction in own operations at the end of the quarter amounted to 335 beds. Estimated annual sales for outsourcing contracts that have been won but not yet started amounted to SEK 100m.

January - June 2024

Net sales in Attendo Finland amounted to SEK 5,504m (4,984), corresponding to a growth of 10.4 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased by 9.8 percent, equivalent to organic growth. The growth is explained by increased net sales mainly in nursing homes due to price adjustments.

Occupancy was in line with the comparison period.

Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 269m (204) and the margin was 4.9 percent (4.1). The increase in earnings is primarily explained by higher price increases than cost increases in care for older people and disabled care.

IFRS16-related effects on operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 166m (164).

Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 435m (368) and the operating margin (EBITA) amounted to 7.9 percent (7.4). Currency effects had no significant impact on the profit.

Improved profit driven by acquisitions and own nursing homes

April - June 2024

Net sales in Attendo Scandinavia amounted to SEK 2,051m (1,701), representing an increase of 20.6 percent both before and after currency effects. The increase is primarily explained by acquisitions. Net sales increased in nursing homes in own operations, but decreased in outsourcing due to ended contracts.

Occupancy in homes increased compared to the comparison quarter and the first quarter 2024.

Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 51m (36), corresponding to a margin of 2.5 percent (2.1). Adjusted for integration and closed down costs, the underlying profit amounted to SEK 75m, which corresponds to a margin of 3.7 percent.

The increased profit in Scandinavia is mainly explained by profit from acquired operations, but also by continued improved profit within own nursing homes in Sweden. Ended outsourcing contracts had a negative impact on the profit in relation to the comparison quarter. Integration costs amounted to SEK 10m and close down costs for the home care operations in Denmark amounted to SEK 14m. During the quarter, Attendo divested the home care operations in Denmark to another provider. The divestment means improved profitability in Denmark going forward.

IFRS16-related effects on operating profit amounted to SEK 51m (49).

Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 102m (85), corresponding to an operating margin (EBITA) of 5.0 percent (5.0).

During the quarter, construction started of a total number of 13 beds in homes. The number of beds under construction in own operations amounted to 241 at the end of the quarter.

During the quarter Attendo won two outsourcing contracts with an estimated annual turnover of approximately SEK 85m in total. Estimated annual sales for outsourcing contracts that have been won but not yet started and outsourcing contracts that have been lost but not yet ended are estimated to be SEK -89m net. The contracts will end or start in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

January - June 2024

Net sales in Attendo Scandinavia amounted to SEK 3,723m (3,393), representing a, increase of 9.7 percent both before and after currency effects. The increase is mainly explained by acquisitions. Net sales increased in nursing homes in own operations, but decreased in outsourcing due to ended contracts.

Occupancy in homes increased compared to the comparison period.

Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 94m (97), corresponding to a margin of 2.5 percent (2.9). Adjusted for integration and close down costs of SEK 12m and SEK 14m, respectively, the profit amounted to SEK 120m, which corresponds to a margin of 3.2 percent.

The underlying profit was better than in the comparison period. The improvement is mainly explained by acquisitions, but the profit also increased in own operations in Sweden, both in care for elderly and disabled care. The improvement is driven by higher occupancy and price adjustments. Ended outsourcing contracts had a negative impact on the profit in relation to the comparison period.

IFRS16-related effects on operating profit amounted to SEK 101m (97).

Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 195m (194), corresponding to an operating margin (EBITA) of 5.2 percent (5.7).

Andreas will leave Attendo in October 2024 and remain in his role during the transition period. The recruitment process to find a successor is ongoing.

The total number of shares amounts to 16 0 ,103 ,190. Attendo holds 2 ,861 ,925 treasury shares and the total number of outstanding shares on 30 June 2024 amounted to 15 7 ,241 ,265.

During the second quarter of 2024, Attendo has repurchased 2 ,558 ,824 shares as part of the repurchase program announced on 24 April and implemented during the period 29 April 2024 to 18 July 2024. In the quarter, 1,283,404 shares were canceled .

Related party transactions

Transactions with related parties are described in the annual report. Related -party transactions take place on market terms. There were no

significant transactions with related parties during the period.

The parent company, Attendo AB (publ)

The business of the parent company is to provide services to the subsidiaries and manage shares in subsidiaries. The company's expenses relate mainly to executive salaries, directors' fees and costs for external consultants.

Net sales for the period January - June amounted to SEK 9m ( 9), and were entirely related to services provided to subsidiaries. The loss for the period after financial items amounted to SEK -18m ( -17). At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 25m ( 0), shares in subsidiaries to SEK 6,494m (6,494) and non -restricted equity SEK 6,318m (6,682).

Seasonal and calendar effects

Attendo's profitability is affected by factors including seasonal variations, weekends and national public holidays. For Attendo, public holidays and weekends have a negative effect on profitability mainly due to wage compen sation for unsocial working hours. For example, profitability is affected by Easter in either the first or second quarter, depending on the quarter in which Easter falls, while the first and fourth quarters are affected by the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

Roundings

Note that roundings occur in text, charts and tables.

Other

On 24 April 2024, Attendo's annual general meeting approved the board's proposal for a dividend to the shareholders of one (1) SEK per share for the financial year 2023. The dividend was paid on 2 May 2024.

Risks and uncertainties

Attendo works systematically with risk assessment and management as a central part of Attendo's strategic process, where risks in relation to the company's ability to achieve its strategic and financial goals are evaluated in a structured and regular manner.

The main risks that may affect the company's ability to achieve its financial and strategic objectives in the short to medium term are the shortage of qualified staff, the negative impact of strained public finances on local decisions on care, and the continued high rate of inflation and high interest rates.

The risks and how Attendo works to manage them are described in more detail in Attendo's annual report (see section Risks and risk management in the annual report for 2023, pages 49 -52).

About Attendo

Attendo was founded in 1985 and is the largest care company in the Nordic region. We have almost 35,000 employees at around 800 operations in in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. All our operations are based on our vision to provide better care to more people. Attendo invests in new capacity and leads the development of quality, innovations and new, cost-effective ways of working in Nordic care.

We provide care for older people, care for people with disabilities, and individual and family care to about 30,000 customers. Our mission is to empower the individual, which means that we see, support and strengthen every person. Our values - care, commitment and competence - guide us in every action, every day.

Our service offering consists of:

Care for older people

Nursing homes for older people with dementia or somatic needs and home care services, which usually involve a comprehensive approach to care, meals, cleaning, laundry, evening and night-time services and home health care.

Disabled care

Housing and daily activities for people of different ages and with different disabilities or care needs. We also offer respite care for relatives through short-term accommodation, as well as respite care and accompanying services.

Individual and family care

We offer individual and family care in consultant-supported family homes, crisis and emergency accommodation, HVB homes, addiction care and supported housing. The segment also provides social psychiatry and rehabilitation as well as other individualized care in housing or day and school activities.

Other services

Attendo provides meal services and conducts recruitment of care staff.

Attendo operates through two business areas, Attendo Finland and Attendo Scandinavia.

Attendo mainly have activities under own operations, where we provide care in units/facilities under our own control, or home care under customer choice systems. We also provide outsourced activities, where units/ facilities are controlled by the public payor, or home care services on a contractual basis.

Attendo's payors are usually a local or regional public provider (municipality or welfare region) or a national authority, but the contract form and contract length vary depending on the contract model and service offering. Our own operations are normally based on freedom of choice systems or framework agreements while outsourcing operations are based on tendered outsourcing contracts. The contracts usually run for a period of 2-5 years.

Adjusted earnings per share (APM)

Profit or loss for the period attributable to the parent company shareholders excluding effects from amortization and impairment of acquisition related intangible assets, IFRS 16 as well as items affecting comparability related to divestments and related tax items divided by the number of outstanding shares after dilution. See tables Adjusted earnings per share for more information.

Capital employed

Equity plus interest-bearing liabilities and provisions for post-employment benefits. See Note C33 Reconciliation of alternative performance measures in the 2023 Annual Report for a full year reconciliation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and bank balances, short-term investments and derivatives with a positive fair value.

Earnings per share

Profit or loss for the period attributable to the parent company shareholders divided by the average number of outstanding shares. Calculated both before (basic) and after dilution.

Equity per share

Equity attributable to the parent company shareholders divided by the average number of outstanding shares. Calculated both before (basic) and after dilution.

Free cash flow (APM)

Free cash flow is a measure of the cash and cash equivalents the group generates in operating activities and investing activities.

See the definition of operating profit (EBITA) below. Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) is operating profit according to the previous reporting standard IAS 17, i.e. excluding the effects of the implementation of IFRS 16. Car leases were reported as finance leases under the previous standard. Consequently, it is the effects of leases of real estate under IFRS 16 that differentiate operating profit from lease

adjusted operating profit. See tables Adjusted earnings per share for more information.

Lease adjusted EBITDA (APM)

See the definition of operating profit (EBITDA) below. Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) is operating profit according to the previous accounting standard IAS 17, i.e. excluding the effects of the implementation of IFRS 16. Car leases were reported as finance leases under the previous standard. Consequently, it is the effects of leases of real estate under IFRS 16 that differentiate operating profit from lease adjusted operating profit. See tables Adjusted earnings per share for more information.

Lease adjusted net debt (APM)

See the definition of net debt below. Lease adjusted net debt is net debt according to the previous reporting standard IAS 17, i.e. excluding the IFRS 16 effect on lease liabilities attributable to right-of-use assets for real estate. See tables Net debt for more information.

Net debt (APM)

Net debt is a way of describing the group's indebtedness and its ability to repay its debts with cash and cash equivalents if all debts were to be due for payment today. Net debt is defined as interest-bearing liabilities plus provisions for post-employment benefits minus cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is presented both including and excluding lease liabilities attributable to right-of-use assets for real estate. See tables Net debt in this report for a reconciliation of net debt.

Net debt / EBITDA (APM)

Net debt in relation to operating profit (EBITDA) R12.

Net debt to equity ratio (APM) Net debt divided by equity.

Operating profit (EBITDA) (APM)

Attendo reports operating profit (EBITDA) as a performance measure because it shows the development of operating activities

independent of financing and investments. Operating profit (EBITDA) refers to profit or loss before depreciation, amortization and impairments, financial items and tax. See the consolidated income statement for a reconciliation of EBITDA.

Organic growth

(APM)

Attendo reports organic growth as a performance measure to show underlying net sales development excluding acquisitions/divestments and currency effects. The performance measure is calculated as net sales growth excluding acquisitions/divestments and changes in exchange rates.

Profit (loss) for the period

Profit for the period attributable to the parent company shareholders and non-controlling interests.

Profit margin

Profit or loss for the period divided by net sales.

R12, "rolling 12 months"

The sum of the period's past 12 months.

Return on capital employed (APM)

Attendo reports return on capital employed because it shows profits in relation to the capital used in operations. The definition of return on capital employed is operating profit (EBIT) excluding items affecting comparability for the past 12 months divided by average capital employed. See Note C33 Reconciliations of alternative key figure calculations in the annual report 2023 for reconciliation on a full-year basis.

Working capital (APM)
