Non-IFRS financial measures are reconciled to the most directly reconcilable line items in the financial statements at the end of this report
For the sixth consecutive quarter Attendo increased the number of beds under construction in own operations. This provides a foundation for continued stable growth. Attendo opened a record number of new homes and now has more than 10,000 beds in own operations. This has been made possible by Attendo improving its efforts to establish new units and through favourable market conditions.
Own operations showed continued stable growth in both nursing homes and homes for people with disabilities. Attendo opened 21 own care homes during the quarter, with 16 in Finland and 5 in Sweden. Construction started on 23 new homes in Finland, 4 in Sweden and 1 in Denmark. At the end of the third quarter, Attendo had 2,757 beds under construction.
Net sales in Outsourcing increased compared to the third quarter of 2016 as a result of the two combination contracts that started in Finland in early 2017. Net sales in Staffing were slightly lower in the quarter compared with the corresponding period 2016. The markets for Outsourcing and Staffing are expected to remain challenging but stable.
Profit for the third quarter was in line with the corresponding quarter of 2016, but the margin was lower. Improvements in planning and processes and acquisitions contributed positively to earnings. The profit was adversely affected by the sharply reduced demand for integration care services as well as by weakened profits in home care, mainly related to Denmark. The number of newly opened homes within our own operations was the highest ever in the third quarter, which initially hampers earnings. Attendo continues to plan for a high number of openings in the coming quarters, with cost impact. During the fourth quarter, earnings are expected to be negatively affected by the continued phasing out of integration operations, home care costs related to Denmark and to restructuring of acquisitions. The costs are estimated to be limited to the fourth quarter.
Attendo is constantly working to develop the care offering using new procedures and new technologies. To develop the care for people with dementia, Attendo's own homes in Sweden will be connected to the Swedish register for behavioural and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD). A number of Attendo's nursing homes in Finland have introduced new large-format computer tablets this quarter. Attendo's customers can now initiate video calls with relatives, as well as use the internet and easily play games, in a visually attractive way.
In summary, Attendo showed continued stable development. The result of the long-term strategy to focus on growth in own operations is now clearly visible and, at the end of the quarter, Attendo had over 10,000 beds. Finnish care company Mikeva will bring additionally approximately 2,800 new beds in care for older people, social psychiatry and care for people with disabilities. By establishing more units, Attendo is supporting society's need for care services, giving individuals access to personalised care in comfortable homes and creating long-term growth for the shareholders.
Net sales increased by 6.7 percent to SEK 2,741m (2,568) in the third quarter. Adjusted for currency effects net sales increased by 6.6 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased in all geographical markets.
The growth is explained by new units, acquisitions, contractual price increases, and higher occupancy in own homes which were under start-up during the comparable quarter.
Net sales increased by 7.9 percent in own operations and by 7.1 percent in outsourcing operations. Net sales in staffing decreased by 4.3 percent.
Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 337m (340) and the operating margin to 12.3 percent (13.2).
Attendo's ongoing efforts to improve its planning and processes, including a reduction of administration, continued to have a positive impact on earnings. Acquired units also had a positive impact. Higher occupancy in own homes which were under start-up during the comparable quarter had a positive effect on profits.
Compared with the third quarter of 2016 operating profit was negatively impacted by a lower contribution from integration services. Demand for integration services decreased sharply, which has led to considerably lower occupancy and thus lower profits. The operations in home care demonstrated lower profit than in the comparable quarter.
Attendo opened a record number of homes during the quarter, particularly in Finland. These units will impact profits in the coming quarters since occupancy is initially low.
Changes in currency exchange rates had a positive effect on operating profit of SEK 1m compared to 2016.
EBIT decreased to SEK 305m (310). Amortisation on acquisition-related intangible assets was SEK 2m higher than in the third quarter of 2016.
At the end of the third quarter, Attendo had a total of 613 (531) units in operation, of which 459 own units. The number of beds in operation was 14,155 (12,718), of which 10,378 in own units. Own units and beds under construction were 71 and 2,757 respectively at the end of the period.
Net sales per contract model, Q3 2017
Net financial items amounted to SEK -21m (-25) in the quarter, of which net interest amounted to SEK -14m (-15). Net interest improved, mainly due to a lower interest margin.
Income tax for the quarter was SEK -61m (-61), corresponding to a tax rate of 21.5 percent (21.4).
Profit for the period was SEK 223m (224), representing an EPS basic of SEK 1.40 (1.40) and diluted of SEK 1.39 (1.39).
Operating profit (EBITA) SEKm
Net sales for the first nine months increased by 7.7 percent to SEK 8,146m (7,565). Adjusted for currency effects net sales increased by 6.5 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased in all geographical markets.
The growth is explained by new units, acquisitions, higher occupancy in own homes which were under start-up during the comparable quarter, and contractual price increases.
Net sales increased by 9.4 percent in own operations and by 6.9 percent in outsourcing operations. Net sales in staffing decreased by 3.1 percent.
Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 10.9 percent to SEK 844m (761) and the operating margin increased to 10.4 percent (10.1).
The profit increase is explained by better planning and improved processes, including reduced administration, higher occupancy in own homes which were under start-up during the comparable quarter, and acquisitions.
Negative performance in the integration services and weak performance by some home care units had a negative impact on profits compared to the same period in 2016. The total result from own units opened since the comparison period has had a negative impact on profits.
The loss of profit due to ended contracts in outsourcing and staffing operations was larger than profit from new units in these contract models.
Changes in currency exchange rates had an overall positive effect on operating profit of SEK 9m compared to 2016.
EBIT increased to SEK 748m (701). Amortisation on acquisition-related intangible assets was SEK 36m higher than in the comparison period 2016.

Income tax for the period was SEK -149m (-136), corresponding to a tax rate of 21.5 percent (21.5).
Profit for the period was SEK 545m (498), representing a basic Earnings per share of SEK 3.41 (3.11) and an EPS diluted of SEK 3.39 (3.10).
Operating cash flow was SEK 73m (101) in the third quarter, whereof changes in working capital amounted to SEK -190m (-202). The negative change in working capital is explained mainly by a decrease in personnel-related liabilities in the quarter.
Cash flow from net investments amounted to SEK -65m (-25) and the cash flow from assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to SEK -300m (-). Acquisitions of operations were charged to cash flow at SEK -95m (-307).

For the period January – September operating cash flow amounted to SEK 511m (401) and total cash flow to SEK -364m (-299).
Consolidated equity as of September 30, 2017 amounted to SEK 5,113m (4,718), which represents diluted equity per share of SEK 31.83 (29.38).
Net debt amounted to SEK 3,322m (3,035).

Interest-bearing liabilities, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits, amounted to SEK 3,562m (3,504) on September 30, 2017. Liquid funds as of September 30, 2017 amounted to SEK 304m (508) and Attendo had SEK 970m (891) in unutilised committed credit facilities.
The total number of shares outstanding amounts to 160,000,000. Attendo's holding of treasury shares amounts to 521,647, which means the number of shares outstanding at September 30, 2017 amounted to 159,478,353.
The average number of employees was 16,545 (15,781) in the third quarter.
Net sales in own operations during the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,729m (1,603). The increase was 7.9 percent, of which acquired growth was 5.7 percentage points. The increase is mainly explained by acquisitions, new homes and higher occupancy in own homes that were under start-up during the same quarter last year.
A record number of homes were opened during the quarter. A total of 21 homes with approximately 720 beds were opened: 16 homes in Finland with approximately 610 beds and 5 homes in Sweden with approximately 110 beds. Attendo now has 10,378 own beds in operation an increase with 15 percent in relation to the corresponding quarter 2016.
Demand for integration care services decreased considerably, which led to much lower occupancy and therefore lower net sales compared with 2016. Attendo is working to close the units where there is no longer any need and to convert certain units from integration into other operations.
In September, Attendo took over Humana's home care operations and the integration work began, which initially had a negative impact on profits. Attendo is working to review its structure in home care operations, which includes closure of units that lack long-term prospects. By focusing on home care with higher customer density and where there are healthy conditions, profitability is expected to improve over time.
The number of beds under construction continued to increase during this quarter and amounted to 2,757 at the end of the quarter. Construction started on several homes, mainly nursing homes, during the quarter: 23 homes in Finland with approximately 840 beds, four homes in Sweden with approximately 280 beds and one home in Denmark with 72 beds.

63% of Net sales Operations in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark
Net sales in outsourcing operations increased by 7.1 percent to SEK 832m (777) in the third quarter. The increase in net sales is explained mainly by newly started operations, particularly two combination contracts in Finland.
During the quarter, Attendo won new, not yet started, contracts with estimated annual net sales of approximately SEK 15m, and lost on-going, not yet ended, contracts with annual net sales of approximately SEK 25m.

Attendo strives to ensure that its customers should always feel safe, involved and independent. Achieving this requires systematic quality improvement as well as co-workers who are competent with strong values.
One component of the quality efforts is to continuously develop the care using new procedures, new technologies, and new and better activities for customers.
As part of our efforts to improve care for people with dementia, all Attendo's own homes in Sweden will be connected to the Swedish register for Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms in Dementia (BPSD). In addition, dedicated BPSD administrators will be trained. The aim of the BPSD register is to reduce the occurrence and impact of BPSD and the suffering these entail. A central dementia team is being established to be able to provide coordinated support for the work of the individual operations, with dementia conditions in general and BPSD in particular. Overall these measures are intended to improve the quality of life for people with dementia.
Another measure intended to improve the quality of life is the introduction of new digital aids. A number of nursing homes in Finland have started to use new large-format (65 inch) computer tablets. Using software like Skype and Messenger, older people are able to initiate video calls with relatives, and can also use the internet, play games or use other communication in an easy and visually attractive way.
Outdoor activities are an important part of day to day life at Attendo. Many operations have arranged the Attendo Fitness Walk this quarter, for residents and their relatives. During the quarter, Attendo and the Norwegian Outdoor Council arranged a sleep-out activity in which several older people at Attendo Romsås and Attendo Rødtvet Sykehjem camped out in tents. Norway's official travel guide, Visit Norway, highlighted the senior campers in a video viewed by nearly 70,000 people on social media.
During the quarter Attendo Örkelljunga LSS expanded its Bed & Breakfast operations with a hostelry. The aim is to provide people participating in daytime operations with a meaningful activity that provides social contact and also satisfied restaurant guests.
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.

The demand for Attendo's own operations offering was good, with continued high interest from Swedish local authorities needing to expand the number of beds, mainly in care for older people. Contracted volumes in the outsourcing market for care for older people were lower than in the second quarter and the corresponding period of the previous year. Demand might be negatively impacted by the new licensing requirements for contractors. Contracted volumes in care continued to decrease in relation to the previous quarter and last year. Demand for integration care services decreased significantly.
The Swedish government has announced that it will put forward proposals that, if implemented, would have negative consequences for the choice and diversity of care. This is despite sharp criticism from both authorities and experts. A proposal will be presented in November, which will be submitted to parliament in March 2018. Attendo believes there is no parliamentary majority behind the proposal.
The own operations offering experienced continued high demand in Finland during the quarter. Private companies have established far more nursing homes than the local authorities in Finland during the year. Demand in the Finnish outsourcing market is deemed to have increased due to postponement of the SOTE reform.
The Finnish government announced in early October that the reforms to choice included in the major health and social care reform package, known as SOTE, will go ahead. The government has decided that the first active care choices in primary care will be made in 2021. In other respects the structure will remain the same – citizens will be able to choose their social and health care centre, there will be customer vouchers and personal budgets based on need. Details of the reform will be presented regularly throughout the autumn, and will be submitted to the parliament for debate and a decision in the spring. Attendo remains optimistic about the opportunities offered by the reform for private providers.
A political settlement has been presented, intended to reduce bankruptcies in the home care market. Attendo assessment is that the proposals will have limited impact. The home care market in Denmark continues to be challenging.
The activity in the Norwegian market remained low. During the quarter, elections were held to the Norwegian Parliament, Stortinget. The result was that the Government under the leadership of Erna Solberg continued in power, which means a government still positive to private companies in social care.
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 payors 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 health care system is decentralized with local authorities (311 LAs) providing primary health care and social care and hospital districts (20) providing specialist care to several municipalities. Attendo's payors in Finland are LAs providing primary health care and social care, and some additional private customers in dental care and occupational health care. LAs are largely responsible for public health care financing.
Ikihyvä Oy, which operates nursing homes in Mikkeli, Finland, was acquired on 1 September 2017.
Liisankoti Oysom, which operates nursing homes in Kauhava, Finland, was acquired on 1 September 2017.
Hoitokoti Piritta Oy, which operates nursing homes in Joensuu, Finland, was acquired on 1 September 2017.
As previously announced, CFO Tomas Björksiöö left Attendo on 27 September 2017. Fredrik Lagercrantz has been appointed as the new CFO. From September 27 and until Fredrik Lagercranz takes over, Rebecca Ericsson Birck, Head of Corporate Control, will be Acting CFO.
Attendo has transactions with two related parties, which in all material respects consist of Attendo leasing properties from companies in which these parties are shareholders. The transactions had a value of SEK 8m (7) during the first nine months of the year. All related-party transactions take place on market terms.
For further details, please refer to page 67 of Attendo's annual report 2016.
The activities of the parent company are to provide services to the subsidiaries and to manage shares in subsidiaries. Parent company expenses relate mainly to salaries for the executive management, fees to the board of directors and costs for external consultants.
Net sales for the period were SEK 9m (9), and were entirely related to services provided to subsidiaries. Profit after financial items was SEK -21m (-26). At the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 0m (0), shares in subsidiaries SEK 6,494m (6,494), and non-restricted equity amounted to SEK 6,175m (6,356).
Attendo's profitability is subject to seasonal variations, weekend and holiday effects. For Attendo, public holidays and weekends 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 and New Year holidays.
As previously announced, Attendo has acquired Mikeva, a leading provider of care in Finland. The acquisition has been approved by the Finnish competition authority (KKV). There were no particular conditions on the approval or concessions by Attendo. Mikeva will be consolidated in Attendo's financial reporting from 1 November 2017.
Mikeva was founded in 1987 and has around 2,300 employees at more than 120 units throughout Finland. The company is active in social psychiatry, care for people with disabilities and care for older people. In 2016 Mikeva had sales of EUR 101 million and EBITDA. Mikeva has approximately 2,800 beds in operation.

Operational risks refer to risks directly linked to Attendos operations e.g. pricing and acquisitions. Financial risks are, amongst others, related to currency, interest rates and liquidity.
Risk management, i.e. the work with identifying, managing and monitoring risks is an important part of Attendo's operations and well integrated in the daily work. The risks and a description of Attendo's risk management are presented in Attendo's annual report for 2016, page 21. Attendo's assessment is that no further risks have been added.

Review report over Interim Financial Statements (Interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2016 to 30 September 2017 for Attendo AB (publ) (Corporate Id Number 559026-7885). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
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.

The financial reports of the Attendo Group are prepared according to IFRS. See further information regarding accounting policies on page 15 in this interim report. According to IFRS there are only a few financial measures that are defined.

This information is complementary information to IFRS and does not replace financial measures defined in IFRS. Attendo's definitions of financial measures not defined in IFRS can differ from other companies' definitions. All Attendo's definitions are included above.
