Comments by Henrik Borelius, CEO

The quarter shows stable growth and good margin development mainly driven by own operations. Our long-term efforts to grow own units, both organically and through acquisitions, have paid off and the quarter was the strongest ever in terms of new beds under construction. In Finland the work with the SOTE reform continues in a positive way. In Sweden the reporting on shortage of nursing home beds continues which confirms the large need to expand capacity.

Own operations show continued strong growth, both organic and acquired. The increase is mainly attributable to new own homes and improved occupancy in units that were under start-up during the corresponding quarter last year. We continue to invest in new own nursing homes and during the quarter three units were opened, one in Sweden and two in Finland and the number of homes under construction increased sharply. In Sweden and Finland combined, the construction of 11 units began which will add 480 new beds. Attendo is an attractive partner for entrepreneurs who want to divest their operation. During the quarter, two new acquisitions were welcomed to Attendo Finland and one within home care in Sweden. The acquisitions added 370 new beds under construction, which together with Attendo's own development of new units resulted in 1,469 beds under construction at the end of the quarter. This is the highest level ever in Attendo's history. On the first of July this year, we completed the acquisition of Samsa which will strengthen Attendo's offering within highly specialized care for people with disabilities.

In Outsourcing operations net sales declined compared to the second quarter 2015 due to ending of contracts. During the quarter, Attendo won new contracts with estimated annual revenue of SEK 210m and lost contracts with estimated annual revenue of SEK 20m.

Net sales in Staffing operations shows a stable development. Our earlier assessment that both outsourcing and staffing will continue to be challenging markets remains.

Attendo's systematic quality work showed a continued stable development and positive results during the quarter. Attendo's vision empowering the individual and our values are vital to us and therefore important to persistently highlight. During the quarter, the annual values week was held with discussions and activities out in the operations along with Attendo's value coaches.

In Finland, a draft for new legislation related to the SOTE reform has been presented regarding the regional authorities' division, responsibilities and financing. In addition, a proposal to new guidelines for private health centers' service offering has been presented, these are in line with Attendo's current operations. We remain positive that the SOTE reform will mean greater freedom of choice and improved opportunities for private providers to contribute to the development.

The Swedish Municipal Workers' Union presented in early July a new report showing that fewer 80 year old people are granted residency at nursing homes. The report shows that both older people and relatives suffer when the need for nursing homes is greater than the availability of beds, which also has become a recurring theme in the media.

To summarize, Attendo showed good financial development during the first six months and a quarter with record growth in number of new beds under construction, giving great opportunities for continued growth.

Summary of the second quarter

Net sales and operating profit

Net sales increased by 4.3 percent to SEK 2,525m (2,421) in the second quarter. Adjusted for currency effects net sales increased by 4.7 percent and adjusted for currency effects and deconsolidation of subsidiary the increase was 7.9 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and deconsolidation of subsidiary net sales increased in all geographical markets.

The growth is explained by new units primarily in own operations and improved occupancy in own units which were under start-up during the comparable quarter.

Net sales in own operations increased by 15.0 percent and in staffing by 1.0 percent adjusted for deconsolidation of subsidiary. Net sales in outsourcing operations decreased by 3.5 percent.

Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 20.4 percent to SEK 224m (186) and operating margin increased to 8.9 percent (7.7). The profit increase is explained by higher occupancy in own units which were under start-up during the comparable quarter, and higher profitability in existing own units as a result of better planning and improved processes. Several new own units have opened, especially during the fourth quarter 2015, and the earnings from these units had a positive effect on the operating profit. The profit loss due to ended contracts in outsourcing and staffing operations was larger than earnings from new units in these contract models.

Seasonal effects, mainly as a result of the early Easter, had a positive effect on the operating profit in the second quarter 2016. Changes in currency exchange rates had a negative effect on operating profit of SEK -1m compared to the same quarter prior year.

EBIT increased to SEK 207m (175). Amortization on acquisition related intangible assets was SEK 6m higher compared to the second quarter 2015.

At the end of the second quarter, Attendo had 512 (489) units in operation, of which 362 own units. The number of beds in operation amounted to 12,649 (11,682), of which 8,932 own units. Own units and beds under construction were 35 and 1,469 respectively.

Quality and employees

Quality

Attendo continues to develop modern work methods in Care for Older People by using digitalization. In April, Attendo won a quality tender of Lillevångshemmet in Simrishamn where several innovations will be part of the operations during the coming years. This includes, among others, motion sensors to measure the clients' activity, virtual bike rides, interactive video games and customized TV channels. The clients will also be accessible through Skype by their relatives.

Attendo actively monitors the quality work in our operations. One important part of the monitoring is Attendo's internal quality reviews, showing to what extent the operations fulfil all internal as well as external quality parameters. This year's internal quality review show overall continued stable results.

Employees

Attendo's services are offered to people with different needs for help and support in their daily life. All of Attendo's work is based on our vision: empowering the individual, with support from our common values – competence, commitment and care. To put this into practice Attendo conducts regular activities that emphasize our vision and values. Once a year, a values week are held in the units that highlights how Attendo is working with values in practice, which is led by Attendo's value coaches. During the second quarter, values week have been held in all units in Finland, and in the Scandinavian Care units. A new focus area for 2016 has been to highlight and discuss Attendo's service offering – a work that will be intensified during the autumn.

Attendo continuously works to secure access to educated employees for the future. In Finland, there is an on-going project where licensed nurses from the Philippines are trained in the Finnish language and thereafter offered the opportunity to work for Attendo with collective agreement terms. The project has been very successful and is appreciated by clients as well as by relatives, and in the local communities where the nurses live. In Sweden there is a large shortage of licensed nurses in the care and healthcare sector. To address this issue, a similar project has been initiated in Sweden, where approximately 60 Philippine nurses will start working during the autumn.

Attendo's quality work

Attendo's quality model rests on three pillars: satisfied individuals, systematic improvements and best available knowledge. Ongoing development and monitoring of the necessary procedures, processes and documentation are of great importance for the quality of all health and social care. The work is conducted by local quality coaches with the support of central and independent quality departments. Recurring quality audits are conducted by Attendo, their customers and authorities.

Attendo's employees

As one of the leading social and health care companies, Attendo is a stable employer with collective agreements, contract insurance and good opportunities for personal development. Attendo values education and encourages higher education. At the same time other experiences and that the candidate shares our core values plays a big role in recruitment. To capture how satisfied the employees are with their work and their manager, regular employee surveys are conducted. The results provide important information about what works well and what needs to be improved.

Market review

Sweden – strong demand for own operations

The demand for Attendo's own operations offering was strong during the quarter with a continued interest from local authorities to increase capacity. Attendo's assessment is that the time to fill a home is becoming slightly longer. Tendered volumes in the outsourcing market increase slightly compared to prior quarters. In Individual and family care, there was continued demand for integration solutions.

In June, the Swedish government presented a proposal to a new regulation regarding public procurement as part of the implementation of EU's procurement directive. The proposal contain, among other, demands for environmental responsibility and labour and social commitments.

Finland – strong demand within own operations

Attendo's own operations offering have had a continued strong demand in Finland. Attendo's assessment is that Finland shows the same trend as in Sweden with slightly longer start-up times. Tendered volumes on the outsourcing market increased during the quarter but there were still only few contracts tendered. A continued demand for combination contract solution was noted. The staffing services market continued to stabilize during the quarter.

In Finland, a draft for a new legislation related to the SOTE-reform has been presented covering a new division of regional authorities as well as the regional authorities' responsibilities and financing. A proposal for guidelines regarding the service private providers must be able to offer at health centers has also been presented, which are well in line with Attendo's current operations. Until the new legislation come into force on January 1, 2019 a temporary legislation will be implemented involving some restrictions for new contracts. For example, will local authorities be able to renegotiate contracts signed during this period when the SOTE reform is fully implemented. Existing contracts are not affected. Attendo's assessment is that the SOTE reform will be positive to private providers' opportunities to contribute to the development.

A social contract between the government and the labour market parties to be implemented in 2017 has been signed during the spring. The contract covers the entire Finnish labour market and contains some parts which mean reduced costs for employers. It is still too early to assess how the different parts of the contract will impact Attendo.

Denmark – low activity during the quarter

The low activity on the outsourcing market continued during the quarter with only a few new tendered contracts.

Norway – continued weak demand

In Norway there was continued weak demand for private outsourcing solutions.

The Swedish social and health care market

The Swedish social and health care system is decentralized with local authorities (290 LAs) responsible for social care and regional authorities (20 RAs) providing primary and specialist health care. Attendo's customers in Sweden are LAs responsible for providing care for older people, disabled care and social care. LAs are also responsible for the financing.

The Finnish social and health care market

The Finnish health care system is decentralized with local authorities (317 LAs) providing primary health care and social care and hospital districts (20) providing specialist care to several municipalities. Attendo's customers in Finland are LAs providing primary health care and social care, and some additional private clients in dental care and occupational health care. LAs are largely responsible for public health care financing.

Other financial information

Acquisitions in the second quarter

On April 1, Hemtrevnad Service & Omsorg i Borås AB was acquired. The company operates home care in Borås, Sweden.

On June 1, 247 Hoivakodit Oy was acquired. The company develops and operates nursing homes in Finland. The acquisition adds 60 new nursing home beds in one unit in Lahti, Finland and 253 nursing home beds under construction in six different units.

On June 1, Onnentäyttymys Oy was acquired. The company operates a nursing home with 20 beds in Pornainen, Finland. The company also has four ongoing projects of in total 117 nursing home beds in and around Helsinki, Finland. The acquisition also includes rights to three future projects with a possible start of construction in the second half of 2016.

Related party transactions

Attendo has transactions with three related parties, which in all material aspects refer to property leases from companies in which those parties are shareholders. The transactions in the first six month 2016 amounted to SEK 4m. All related party transactions are based on market conditions.

For further details, see Attendo's annual report 2015, page 73.

Parent Company, Attendo AB (publ)

Attendo AB's main operation is to provide management services to subsidiaries in the group and to manage and monitor shares in subsidiaries. Parent company expenses are mainly holding costs including expenses for Attendo's Executive Management, Board of Directors and external consultancy fees.

Net sales for the parent company amounted to SEK 7m in the first six month, which refer to management services to subsidiaries. Result after financial items amounted to SEK -19m. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 0m, shares in subsidiaries SEK 6,494m and unrestricted equity amounted to SEK 6,363m at the end of the period.

Seasonal variations

Attendo's profitability is subject to seasonal variations, weekend and holiday effects. For Attendo, public holidays as well as weekends and other 'red' calendar days have negative effects on profitability mainly as an effect of wage compensation for inconvenient working hours. For example, profitability in the first and second quarters is affected by the Easter holiday, depending on in which quarter it occurs, and the fourth quarter is affected by Christmas holidays.

Significant events after the balance sheet date

Acquisition of Samsa group

On July 1, 2016 Attendo acquired Samsa AB operating own homes and one daily activity unit for people with disabilities (LSS), home for care and residency (HVB) and a school in grades 7-9 for schoolchildren with special needs. Net sales amounts to approximately SEK 150m and adds 107 beds for people with disabilities and residential care, and 5 beds under construction in one care home that will be opened during autumn.

Changes in Attendo's Executive Management

On July 13, 2016 Attendo communicated that Fredrik Mossberg has chosen to leave Attendo after ten years as Business Development Director. Johan Spångö has been appointed new Business Development Director and will be part of Attendo's Executive Management. Spångö has been working with business development in Attendo since 2014 and has previous work experience from business development in Lernia and as a management consultant at Qvartz.

Risks and risk management

Risks are inherent in Attendo's business and it is part of the daily work to manage these risks, to prevent damage and to limit the damage that does occur. Attendo operates within the care and health care sector in competition with a number of major and several smaller operators, which entails risk both related to price development and growth. This requires that Attendo continuously develops its business in order to offer the clients best possible care and health care from a quality perspective to a for the customers competitive price.

The majority of the care and health care conducted on the market where Attendo operates are provided by local authorities. The choice of production model is dependent on political decisions, which means that opportunities for future growth are controlled by politicians' view of how care and health care should be provided. Political decisions resulting in a change in legislation can have a significant impact on Attendo's business. The legislative process in the countries where Attendo operates is transparent and changes are well known prior to implementation. A public inquiry in Sweden is currently investigating potential options to restrict freedom of choice and dividend in private welfare creates a significant uncertainty about the conditions for investment in the Swedish welfare. It is difficult to assess the conclusions from the inquiry and support potential proposals will have in the Parliament. The Finnish care and health care system will undergo a significant change when the planned SOTE reform comes into force as per January 1, 2019. This implies that a new administrative level with 18 regions with responsibility for care and health care is implemented. Attendo follows the work with the SOTE reform but it is still difficult to assess its impact on Attendo's operation, result and financial position.

Quality and safety requirements within care and health care are demanded by various stakeholders, in particular clients, relatives and customers. In addition Attendo has very high internal quality requirements on its operations. Constant work with quality and safety improvements for clients and patients is crucial for Attendo's success and is a key area within the Group's strategic activities. A large number of Attendo's customer contracts extend over several years why the pricing of these contracts are deemed as a financial risk. The own units operations are conducted in own homes and premises which means that Attendo enters the long rental agreements. If the demand for Attendo's services is low the long rental agreements are deemed as a financial risk. Attendo uses internally developed proven models and processes aiming to minimize risk both for pricing errors and that Attendo enter rental agreements in regions with unfavorable demand.

Attendo is in its operations exposed to various financial risks, including the effects of changes in prices on the credit and capital markets and currency risks. Financial risks are managed by a central finance department.

For further information of risks see Attendo's annual report 2015 page 48.

Valuation technique

Level 2: The fair value of interest rate and currency 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 fair value of option liability is determined by the valuation principles established by the European Venture Capital Association (EVCA). The option liability was settled in connection to the listing. Fair value of contingent considerations are based on estimated outcome from the contractual clauses in the share purchase agreement.

With the vision of empowering the individual Attendo provides services within care for older people, care for people with disabilities, individual and families and health care.

Attendo provides care and health care through three contract models:

  • Own operations, where Attendo provides services in own controlled units/premises or provides services in customer choice models. Attendo has own units within care for older people, people with disabilities, individuals and families, as well as dental care and occupational health care.

Staffing operations are normally based on framework agreements or direct contracts with durations of up to 4 years.

Financial measures not defined in IFRS

The financial reports of the Attendo Group are prepared according to IFRS. See further information regarding accounting principles on page 16 in this interim report.

This information is complementary information to IFRS and does not replace financial measures defined in IFRS. Attendos definitions of financial measures not defined in IFRS can differ from other companies' definitions. All Attendo's definitions are included above. Calculation of all financial measures can be reconciled to items in the income statement and balance sheet, and information on page 22.
