2 Profit for the period attributable to the parent company shareholders excluding amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, items affecting comparability related to divestment, IFRS 16 and related tax effects divided by the average number of shares outstanding after dilution.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Attendo works systematically and purposefully with sustainability. Every quarter, we report the latest key figures in order to disclose the outcome of our work.

* 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.
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).
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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).

• From April Team Oliva Care was consolidated in Attendo. For more information see page 21.
• In April Attendo acquired a business
consisting of eight group homes for people with disabilities.
• During the quarter, the home care operation s in Denmark were divested.
Andreas Koch, Director of Communications and IR, announced in May that he will leave Attendo and his position in Group Management to take a role outside the company. 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 .
The average number of annual employees in the second quarter was 23,494 (21,994).
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 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).
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.
Note that roundings occur in text, charts and tables.
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.
There were no significant events after the reporting date.
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).

On 2 April, Attendo completed the acquisition of Team Olivia's Swedish care business, excluding personal assistance, by acquiring 100 percent of the shares and votes in a newly formed company containing relevant assets and subsidiaries. Attendo thereby strengthens the position in disabled care (LSS), individual and family care (IOF) and home care in Sweden.
The acquired business has annual sales of approximately SEK 1,350m and a lease adjusted operating profit of approximately SEK 130m. The purchase price amounted to SEK 1,037m. See below preliminary acquisition calculation.
