Non-IFRS financial measures are reconciled to the most directly reconcilable line items in the financial statements at the end of this report.
The first quarter of 2017 was characterised by a high rate of establishment of new nursing homes and a stable earnings trend. Attendo sees a substantial continued need to develop own operations in care for older people and has successfully managed to turn this into construction starts in Sweden and Finland. In addition, Attendo won a number of outsourcing contracts in the first quarter, mainly in care for older people.
Own operations showed continued stable growth, both in terms of nursing homes and care homes. Attendo opened eight own homes during the quarter, seven in Finland and one in Sweden. In Finland, construction began on 14 new homes and in Sweden on two homes. At the end of the first quarter Attendo had 2,159 beds under construction. Attendo made a number of acquisitions in the quarter, in homes and day centres for people with disabilities, individuals and families, and in home care.
Net sales in Outsourcing increased compared to the first quarter of 2016, mainly as a result of two newly started combination contracts in Finland. Net, Attendo has won outsourcing contracts during the quarter of approximately SEK 40m. Net sales in Staffing operations were somewhat lower this quarter compared to the corresponding period in 2016. The markets for Outsourcing and Staffing are expected to remain challenging but stable.
The profit increased in the first quarter compared to the corresponding period 2016. The improvement in earnings was due to higher occupancy in nursing homes that were under start-up in the first quarter of 2016, continuous improvement work with processes and planning, and positive calendar effects. In 2017, Attendo will open more nursing homes than before. This is expected to affect profit negatively in the coming quarters.
The Swedish government has previously appointed a commission whose proposals would greatly restrict the opportunities for private providers in schools and in health and social care, if they were carried out. During the quarter, a round of consultation was concluded when the commission faced strong criticism from a majority of the consulted bodies, including authorities and municipalities as well as experts and organisations active in the field of welfare services. The proposals are not considered to address any real issue. They are deemed to be in violation of current legislation, and the impact assessment by the commission is deficient.
Recently, Attendo published its annual quality report, which documents the company's work on improving and developing its quality. As one of many projects over the past year it is worth mentioning "Symfoni" at the Attendo Rødtvet nursing home in Norway, where Attendo has created an excellent living environment, with music therapy, animal husbandry and a sensory garden, which together have helped promote happiness, wakefulness and reduced use of medication among the residents. Another successful project concerns the care of diabetic patients, where Attendo's Finnish medical centres have markedly increased the proportion of patients who reach their blood sugar level goals.
In summary, Attendo showed a stable performance in the first quarter in terms of profit, and a high rate of establishment of new nursing homes. By offering more customised high-quality homes for older people and people with disabilities, Attendo is able to contribute to shorter queues and create pleasant and dedicated living environments that respond to both customer needs and their personal wishes.
Net sales increased by 7.6 percent to SEK 2,661m (2,472) in the first quarter. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased by 6.4 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased in all geographical markets, except Denmark.
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 9.1 percent in own operations and by 7.3 percent in outsourcing operations. In staffing operations, net sales decreased by 2.1 percent.
Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 41.6 percent to SEK 279m (197) and the operating margin increased to 10.5 percent (8.0). The profit increase is explained by higher occupancy in own homes which were under start-up during the comparable quarter and by better planning and improved processes, which led to higher profitability, particularly in existing units in own operations. Several new own homes have opened since the comparable quarter and the combined profit from these units was approximately zero. The loss of profit due to ended contracts in outsourcing and staffing operations was somewhat larger than profit from new units in these contract models.
Compared with the first quarter of 2016, calendar effects, particularly Easter, had a total positive effect of approximately SEK 20m on operating profit in the first quarter of 2017. Changes in currency exchange rates had a positive effect on operating profit of SEK 2m compared to the same quarter last year.
Operating profit (EBIT) increased to SEK 248m (184). Amortization on acquisition-related intangible assets was SEK 18m higher compared to the same quarter last year.
At the end of the first quarter, Attendo had 556 (506) units in operation, of which 409 own units. The number of beds in operation was 12,993 (12,510), of which 9,249 in own units. Own units and beds under construction were 55 and 2,159 respectively.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -17m (-21) in the quarter, of which net interest amounted to SEK -14m (-16). Net interest improved, mainly due to lower interest margin.
Income tax for the quarter was SEK -50m (-35), corresponding to a tax rate of 21.6 percent (21.5).
Profit for the period was SEK 181m (128), representing an EPS basic and diluted of SEK 1.13 (0.80).

Operating cash flow was SEK 176m (143) during the quarter, where of changes in working capital amounted to SEK -40m (-8). The positive increase in operating cash flow was mainly driven by improved operating profit.
Cash flow from net investments amounted to SEK -39m (-46) and net change in assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to SEK -42m (0). Cash flow from acquisitions was SEK -78m (-13) and cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -19m (-197).
Total cash flow for the quarter was SEK 20m (-79), explained by a reduced net change on revolving credit facilities compared to the same period previous year. This in favor of a higher M&A pace and increased investments.
Consolidated equity as of March 31, 2017 amounted to SEK 5,002m (4,357), which represents a diluted equity per share of SEK 31,17 (27,07).
Net debt amounted to SEK 2,682m (2,732), where of interest-bearing liabilities, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits, amounted to SEK 3,343m (3,401). A total amount of SEK 19m has been repaid during the quarter.

Net sales in own operations amounted to SEK 1,648m (1,511) in the first quarter. The increase was 9.1 percent, of which acquired growth was 5.8 percentage points. The increase is mainly explained by new homes and higher occupancy in homes that were under start-up during the comparable quarter last year.
During the quarter, Attendo opened seven nursing and care homes with in total 240 beds in Finland, and one nursing home in Sweden with 54 beds. One home with 300 beds in the integration operations was closed.

Net sales in outsourcing operations increased by 7.3 percent to SEK 825m (769) in the first quarter. The increase in net sales is explained 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 80m, and lost on-going, not yet ended, contracts with annual net sales of approximately SEK 40m.

Attendo's Annual Quality Report for 2016 was published recently. This report documents the key outcomes of Attendo's quality work, as well as the changes made to systematically improve both perceived and measured quality. The overall quality thermometer in 2016 noted a continued stable level of 85 percent.
Attendo has also received good reviews in national user surveys. Attendo's lifestyle homes received better than average reviews in 17 of 18 key quality parameters. Among the parameters that stand out are satisfaction with outdoor environments, activities, and the ability to be outdoors. Attendo's home care received better reviews than the average for local authority providers for 12 of 14 selected quality parameters. Customers appreciate factors such as the way they are approached and informed by staff, and the ability to influence the content of their care.
Another example of an area in which Attendo has developed its quality position is Attendo's health care operations in Finland. Attendo contributed to shorter queues and achieved a high level of satisfaction in municipalities where Attendo has combination contracts. Other examples from the Annual Quality Report are projects to create good environments that promote happiness and wakefulness among customers in nursing homes, and an improved dialogue model with customers, relatives and payors in care for people with disabilities, to name but a few.
Attendo has in many ways been innovative in developing attractive residential environments in nursing homes. An example of this from the first quarter is the opening of the "Mind the Gap" restaurant at the Attendo Paulus nursing home in Oslo. The restaurant is open to the public and is a way for Attendo's residents, relatives and people in the neighbourhood to meet across the generations. The opening took place with pomp and ceremony and with the participation of leading Norwegian politicians, including Norway's Minister of Health and Care Services, Bent Høie.
Attendo sees great value in identifying and rewarding good efforts, both by individual employees and by units or entire regions. During the first quarter, the LSS North region, under the leadership of Regional Director Christina Grell, was recognised at Region of the Year. The motivation for the award reads "satisfied customers and employees, high quality of care, combined with good growth and stable surpluses". The award helps to create internal pride and enables Attendo to spread best practices between different parts of the company.
Attendo Finland has named the auxiliary nurse, Marja Kekkonen, as Employee of the Year. Employee of the Year is conducted through a staff vote. Company physician Veli-Matti Häggman was one of the employees received an honorary mention in the contest. Veli-Matti works at the Attendo Vanda local medical centre outside Helsinki.
Attendo's quality model rests on three pillars: satisfied customers, 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 specialized quality functions. Recurring quality audits are conducted by Attendo, their customers and authorities.
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 during the quarter, with continued high interest from Swedish local authorities needing to expand the number of beds, mainly in care for older people. During the quarter, Attendo was the only private provider to begin construction of nursing homes. Contracted volumes in the outsourcing market for care for older people continued to increase in the first quarter, but from a low level. Contracted volumes in care decreased in relation to the previous quarter and last year, mainly as a consequence of the reduced need for beds within integration.
The Swedish government has previously appointed a commission whose proposals would greatly restrict the opportunities for private providers in schools and in health and social care, if they were to be introduced. During the quarter, a round of consultation was concluded when the commission faced strong criticism from a majority of the consulted bodies, including authorities and municipalities as well as experts and organisations active in the field of welfare. The proposals are not considered to address any real issue. They are deemed to be in violation of current legislation, and the impact assessment by the commission is deficient.
The own operations offering experienced continued high demand in Finland during the quarter. Activity remained very low in the outsourcing market in Finland during the first quarter.
Negotiations on the design of the Finnish SOTE reform continued in the first quarter of 2017. Health and social care will be organised into 18 regional counties, with private and public providers competing on equal terms, and with the introduction of freedom of choice for citizens. The regional counties will have a certain greater degree of freedom in primary care to decide when the freedom of choice systems will be fully deployed. In social care, the voucher system will be introduced from 2019, as previously communicated. Our assessment remains that the reform as a whole is positive for Attendo's opportunities to develop the operations in Finland, not least in the field of health care.
The government has launched initiatives to increase the freedom of choice of care services but there are few attractive opportunities in the outsourcing market.
The demand for private solutions on the Norwegian outsourcing market remains weak.
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.

Attendo has begun construction of real estate properties in own books in order to increase the rate of establishment of new homes. Investments amounted to SEK 107m at the end of the first quarter. Attendo's intention is to sell the properties to an external property owner after completion, and thus all assets and liabilities related to these projects are recognised as assets and liabilities held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5.
Attendo AB's main operation is to provide management services to subsidiaries within the group and to manage 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 first quarter were SEK 3m (4), all referring to management services to subsidiaries. Profit after financial items was SEK -6m (-6). At the end of the year, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 0m (0), shares in subsidiaries was SEK 6,494m (6,494) and non-restricted equity amounted to SEK 6,417m (6 462) at the end of the year.
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.
On 1 April, Attendo acquired Treklövern i Falköping AB. The company operates a social psychiatry care home in Falköping.

Attendo conducts care and health care operations in the Nordics and are exposed to a number of different risks. Attendo divides risks in external risks, operational risks and financial risks. External risks comprise risks regarding competition, political risk, legal risk and reputational risk. 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.
The group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups.

To support the Executive Managements' and other stakeholders analysis of the Groups development, Attendo presents some financial measures not defined in IFRS. 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.
