In 2023, we have largely completed the three-year turnaround program aimed at adapting operations and conditions to new staffing requirements in Finland, restoring occupancy after the pandemic and a period of strong expansion, and returning to sustainable growth. At the same time, we have worked to strengthen our operational care model, with increased management density and new digital tools to relieve employees and free up time for care.
With the acquisition of Team Olivia's Swedish care operations in the first quarter of 2024, we mark the start of a new phase for Attendo. Over the next three years until 2026, we intend to build a stronger position in disabled care and individual and family care. We are also starting to plan to gradually meet the expected demand for care for older people in the Nordic region as a result of demographic developments.
Our focus is continued sustainable and profitable growth combined with increased investments in digitalization. In connection with this quarterly report, we present new financial targets, including a performance target of adjusted earnings per share of at least SEK 5.50 in 2026.
Profits in the first quarter increased significantly compared to 2023, mainly driven by the effects of the turnaround program in our Finnish operations.
Sales in the first quarter increased by 8 percent, mainly driven by renegotiated contracts in Finland. The lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) increased by SEK 45m (+39 percent), an increase entirely related to the Finnish operations.
Finland: Continued positive trend Sales in Attendo Finland increased by 15 percent in the quarter in local currency. Profit has strengthened significantly year over year, mainly linked to renegotiated contracts based on higher staffing requirements in care for older people and higher prices in disabled care.
Occupancy in our nursing homes was in line with the previous quarter but lower than expected. The result has therefore been negatively affected by high personnel costs.
The Finnish government has announced that staffing requirements in care for older people will be reduced from 0.65 to 0.60 care staff per resident from 2025. Our assessment is that this will not have a material impact on results and that occupancy can develop positively.
Sales are in line with the comparison quarter despite several ended outsourcing contracts. The reported result is at the same time lower due to ended contracts and continued losses in Denmark. Our own homes, which account for the majority of our sales in Scandinavia, continue to show both underlying growth and
improved profits. Occupancy is marginally higher than in the previous quarter.
We are working to reverse the performance trend in Scandinavia through increased sales efforts, continued recovery in home care in Sweden and by reversing the situation in Denmark. We are making progress in the turnaround in Denmark and have, among other things, divested the last home care unit, changed leadership, strengthened quality work and expanded our sales efforts.
From the second quarter of 2024 and onwards, Team Olivia Care Sweden is part of Attendo. The acquisition strengthens our offering and our position in disabled care (LSS), individual and family care (I&F) and home care. It also gives us a better balance between our different service offerings in Sweden. The acquisition is expected to contribute to adjusted earnings by at least SEK 0.5 per share when the operations are fully integrated in 2025. At the beginning of the second quarter and in line with our strategy, we acquired an additional 8 group homes within disabled care in Sweden.
Martin Tivéus, President and CEO
Our customer focus, combined with offering cost-effective care to payors and solving complex care needs, means we are well positioned for the future.



Over the past three years, we have succeeded in reversing the development in Finland and recovered a large part of the occupancy loss due to the pandemic while strengthening employee ownership and our operational model. During the period, we have implemented a model for increased focus on quality of life, we have strengthened operational leadership through new leadership training for care managers, introduced group managers in nursing homes in both Finland and Sweden, and taken several steps forward on our digitalization journey. The result is a more stable operation, but also better results in both customer and relatives' satisfaction, employee satisfaction and payor satisfaction.
Attendo has previously set a target to reach an adjusted profit of SEK 4 per share, which still is expected to be achieved in 2024. With the clear turnaround in Finland and the acquisition of Team Olivia, we are now entering a new value creation phase, with new more forward -looking targets.
In the coming years we intend to continue to strengthen the company's operational and financial position, with the goal of reaching adjusted earnings per share of at least SEK 5.50 in 2026:
Attendo maintains its current dividend target of distributing 30% of adjusted net profit and it is intended to be combined with continuous share buyback programs. The debt target, measured as adjusted net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA, is to be between 1.5 -2.5x.
Attendo is the oldest and leading private care company in the Nordic region, with a focus on Sweden and Finland. Needs in care for older people are expected to increase in the coming decade. The drivers are a growing number of older people and demand for providers that can handle complex care needs that local authorities and regions cannot solve on their own. We also see a strong desire from citizens to choose care solutions that suit their own needs. For over 20 years, Attendo has worked with our mission "empowering the individual", which means that we should see, support and strengthen every person in need of care. Our customer focus combined with the fact that we offer payors cost -effective care and solve complex care needs means that we are well positioned for the future.

Net sales increased by 8.5 percent to SEK 4,386m (4,044) during the quarter. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased by 8.0 percent, which corresponds to organic growth. Organic growth is explained by increased net sales in Attendo Finland, primarily in nursing homes.

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

The positive trend in customer satisfaction continues. The weighted cNPS for the Group as a whole amounted to 39 (38) in the most recent measurements. The development reflects Attendo's efforts to establish working methods that enable each local unit to identify and take actions that improve the customer experience. The focus in recent quarters has been to strengthen local managers' ability to follow the unit's results and to ascertain ongoing satisfaction reviews with customers, employees and relatives, led by specially trained employees.
Attendo also measures relatives' satisfaction to continuously develop the relationship with the persons close to the customer. The weighted relatives satisfaction (rNPS) for the group as a whole was 41 in the latest measurements, a clear improvement from 29 in the previous year. This outcome is also a reflection of Attendo's long-term and structured efforts strengthen dialogue and take swift actions when improvement areas are identified.

Attendo has been working to implement evidence-based quality of life outcome measurements for several years.
In Finland, the Residence Assessment Instrument (RAI) is used, linked to the legal requirement to use RAI within elderly care. In Scandinavia, a similar method is used, but based on the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (ASCOT). Both instruments are validated by research and designed to measure and follow up key aspects of the quality of life of an individual in a social care setting.
Based on structured interviews with care recipients and close monitoring by trained staff, the methods provide outcome data of the perceived quality of life and how it develops.
The outcome of the RAI method is an index score, reflecting the dimensions of the assessment. From the ASCOT method, the outcome is a gain score (-0.17 to a maximum of +1) that represents the improvement in quality of life due to the care provided.
The overall quality of life score in Attendo Finland in the latest RAI measurements was 5.7, an improvement from 5.6 in the previous quarter (scale from 1 to 10). Over time, RAI scores from both public and private care operations are expected to be made available, allowing for national benchmarking.
In Scandinavia, the gain score from the ASCOT-method was 0.72 on average during the first quarter 2024 (-).
The processes and insights from the quality of life measurements are continuously being developed, with the aim to systematically complement the care planning and improve the care experience.
Attendo works systematically and purposefully with sustainability. Every quarter, we report the latest key figures in order to report the outcome of our work.

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 first quarter, a total of 9 cases from Sweden were reported to the supervisory authority IVO according to Lex Sarah or Lex Maria.
In Finland, during the first quarter, 1 case was opened by the supervisory authority AVI and 1 case was closed. The total number of open cases is 14 at the end of the quarter. The surveillance of elderly care is increasingly being transferred to the 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 2,714m (2,352), corresponding to a growth of 15.4 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased by 14.5 percent, equivalent to organic growth. The growth is explained by increased net sales mainly in nursing homes due to price adjustments.
Occupancy was slightly lower than in the comparison quarter and in line with the fourth quarter of 2023.
Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 138m (73) and the margin was 5.1 percent (3.1). The increase in earnings is primarily explained by higher price increases than cost increases in care for older people and disabled care.
Since the occupancy development in our nursing homes was slower than expected, profits have been negatively affected by higher personnel costs. In Finland, nursing homes must have staffing in line with the staff requirements before new customers can move in.
IFRS16-related effects on operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 81m (77).
Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 220m (150) and the operating margin (EBITA) amounted to 8.1 percent (6.4). Currency effects amounted to SEK 2m.
The number of beds under construction in own operations at the end of the quarter amounted to 343 beds. Attendo Finland won a contract for meal services with estimated annual sales of about SEK 100m, which has not yet started.

Net sales in Attendo Scandinavia amounted to SEK 1,672m (1,692), representing a decrease of 1.2 percent both before and after currency effects. The decrease is explained by ended outsourcing contracts. Net sales increased in nursing homes in own operations.
Occupancy in homes increased compared to the comparison quarter and also increased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 43m (61), corresponding to a margin of 2.6 percent (3.6).
The lower profit in Scandinavia is explained by ended outsourcing contracts and lower result in Denmark. It is mainly a number of profitable outsourcing contracts that were ended in the fourth quarter of 2023 that now affect the comparison with the previous year negatively.
The Danish operations continued to show losses in the first quarter. The ongoing turnaround program is progressing. The leadership has been changed, the quality of operations has improved and we see opportunities to gradually regain occupancy in the coming quarters.
Profits increased in own homes in Sweden, both in nursing homes and in group homes for people with disabilities. The improvement is driven by higher occupancy and price adjustments.
IFRS16-related effects on operating profit amounted to SEK 50m (48).
Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 93m (109), corresponding to an operating margin (EBITA) of 5.6 percent (6.4).
The number of beds under construction in own operations amounted to 228 at the end of the quarter. A couple of outsourcing contracts ended during the quarter. 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 -231m net. The contracts will end or start mainly in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

No acquisitions were made during the quarter.
The total number of shares amounts to 161,386,592. Attendo hold s 1,633,845 treasury shares and the total number of outstanding shares on 31 March 2024 amounted to 159 ,752,747.
During the first quarter of 2024, Attendo has repurchased 1,180,148 shares as part of the repurchase program announced on 7 February and implemented during the period 9 February 2024 to 24 April 2024.
The average number of annual employees in the first quarter was 21 ,563 (20 ,699).
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 -March amounted to SEK 5 m ( 5 ) , and were entirely related to services provided to subsidiaries. The loss for the period after financial items amounted to SEK - 9 m ( - 8). At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalent s amounted to SEK 12m (0), shares in subsidiaries to SEK
6,494 m (6,494) and non -restricted equity SEK 6,574m (6,658).
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 compensation 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 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 950m on a cash and debt -free basis. Attendo has initiated the process of preparing a purchase price allocation.
Attendo AB's Annual General Meeting will be held on 24 April 2024 at 16 :30 in Danderyd. The resolutions will be announced in a communiqué after the meeting.
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).
The group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations from IFRIC, as adopted by the European Union, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups and related interpretations and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
