A quarter with continued focus on minimising the effects of the pandemic

The second quarter was characterised by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has tested our organisation and Humana's employees have managed this challenging situation well so far. Financially, the quarter was strong. Humana's revenue grew 3.4 percent organically and operating profit strengthened.

Humana's crisis organisation for handling the COVID-19 pandemic in our operations has been active since February. During the second quarter, the situation seemed increasingly like a new normal: maintaining focus, preventing transmission of the virus and handling the situation that has arisen all hours of the day and

night. Humana has been put to the test and has stood up to the pandemic. Our procedures are working, we have prioritised education and we have secured access to personal protective equipment, PPE. On a group level the transmission has been low in all countries and at the time of writing we have no infected in our elderly care homes in the Nordic countries. I am proud of the efforts of our employees over the last six months and grateful for the good relationships we have with clients, customers and their families who are all having a tough time due to limited visiting opportunities.

Despite having to deal with the pandemic, operationally it has been a quarter where we have made good progress. The main focus successfully remained on improving profitability, we continued to explore growth opportunities and we signed a contract for a new elderly care home under own management in Täby.

Financially, Humana's operating revenue increased by 3 percent for the quarter and 8 percent for the half-year. The operating profit improved to SEK 100m for the quarter and SEK 198m for the half-year. The operating margin was 5.1 percent, both for the quarter and for the half-year and the net debt continued to decrease. All business areas moved their positions forward and strengthened their margin during the quarter. I am pleased with the clear improvement from previous year.

The pandemic has had an effect on revenues as well as costs. The number of assistance hours was negatively affected, we had fewer outpatient visits and lower occupancy in our elderly care homes in and around Stockholm. More sickness absences than normal impacted costs and we had higher costs for PPE. However, we have been compensated for the increased costs to a great extent by state subsidies but there is still an effect on the occupancy.

Many people have been struck very hard by the pandemic. Among the Nordic countries, Sweden has been hit the hardest with relatively high death rates. In the debate, many have wanted to blame Swedish elderly care homes per se as a contributing factor. That is not true. Elderly care homes, where the most fragile elderly with an extensive need of help and care live, are very vulnerable to community transmission. In Sweden, we have had many infected and dead in elderly care homes due to the fact that we have had a relatively large spread in society. There is much about elderly care that can be improved, but having a large share of the deaths from the pandemic in elderly care homes is not a Swedish phenomenon. Compared with several comparable countries, the Swedish elderly care homes' share of the deaths is even lower. Overall, my view is that we as a sector, considering the circumstances, have managed to handle this pandemic well. The private elderly care homes, which make up a small proportion, have during this time done important work, contributed with innovative solutions and excelled at being proactive, for example by restricting visits early on. Reported statistics also show that the private elderly care homes as a group has managed the pandemic as well or slightly better than municipal care homes, for example when looking at excess mortality or when the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate, IVO, after national review decided on in-depth supervision of a about 90 housing units and private elderly care homes accounted for a relatively small proportion. Humana had no care homes on that list.

My hope is that we will now take the opportunity to have a constructive debate on the state of elderly care. The public functions involving contact tracing, testing and stockpiling PPE must work better in the future. Price pressure from the municipalities in procurements, where qualities like a high staff to client ratio is not valued, also needs to be made more visible. A low staff to client ratio makes it harder to maintain basic hygiene routines and quarantine, which is just one of several reasons why Humana does not establish our operation in municipalities where qualitative care is not rewarded.

These and many other elderly care issues deserve to be discussed in a solution-oriented way. Humana will gladly join in – together we can propel Nordic care and welfare forward!

Group development

Revenue

Second-quarter operating revenue amounted to SEK 1,980m (1,918), an increase of 3% compared with the same quarter last year. Acquired operations, that is, companies that were not owned throughout the previous comparative period, contributed SEK 16m to revenues in the quarter. Capital gain from sale of real estate increased revenue by SEK 17m. Currency effects reduced revenues. Organic revenue increased by 3.4% (2.5) for the quarter. Operations under own management accounted for 94% of total revenues in the quarter, and contracted operations accounted for 6%. The COVID-19 pandemic affected revenue negatively, mostly through fewer performed hours in personal assistance and lower occupancy.

Operating revenue for the six-month period amounted to SEK 3,918m (3,626), an increase of 8%. Acquired operations accounted for SEK 312m, of which the acquisition of Finnish company Coronaria Hoiva accounted for SEK 281m. Organic revenue growth was 4.2% (2.0).

Profit

Operating profit for the second quarter totalled SEK 100m (45), an increase of 123%. This includes capital gain of SEK 17m from sale of properties. The operating margin amounted to 5.1% (2.3). Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 83m (45) and the adjusted operating margin amounted to 4.2% (2.3). Operating profit for the half-year period totalled SEK 198m (122), an increase of 63%, and the operating margin amounted to 5.1% (3.4). Adjusted operating profit for the six-month period was SEK 181m (122) and the adjusted operating margin was 4.6% (3.4).

The pandemic has affected the Group profit-wise from several aspects. Lower occupancy had a negative effect on revenue and increased sickness absences and increased use of PPE increased costs. The increased costs were compensated for by lower social security costs and state subsidies for sickness absences, net the costs were marginally affected on the six-month period. In the second quarter, the cost effect was marginally positive and, accordingly, the negative effects of the pandemic were mostly related to occupancy.

The effect on operating profit of accounting standard IFRS 16, which has been applied since 1 January 2019, amounted to SEK 9m in the quarter (see following table).

Apr-Jun Apr-Jun Jan-Jun Jan-Jun
IFRS 16 effects 2020 2019 2020 2019

Operating profit 9 10 25 17
Net financial effect -20 -18 -39 -31
Profit before tax -10 -8 -14 -14

Operating cash flow

Operating cash flow during the quarter amounted to SEK 221m (136). The improvement comes from higher profit, lower investments, reduced working capital and the result effect of sale of properties. Humana's interest-bearing net debt decreased by SEK 291m to SEK 3,591m (3,882), driven by cash flow and the sale of properties. Humana's leverage ratio, interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA, decreased to 4.6 times (7.1), which is close to the financial target of 4.5 times.

Events after the end of the quarter

• No significant events to report after the end of the quarter.

Performance by business area

Individual & Family

Revenues for the first quarter amounted to SEK 532m (535), in line with the corresponding period last year. Revenues for the six-month period were also in line with the previous year and amounted to SEK 1,051m (1,047). The revenue development is due to lower occupancy resulting from lower demand in the market segment for the children and adolescents client group. Meanwhile, increased occupancy in the adult segment has balanced out these developments. COVID-19 had a negative effect on demand throughout the business area in the second quarter.

Operating profit in the quarter totalled SEK 49m (41), an increase of 22% compared to last year. Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 83m (69), an increase of 20%. The operating margin for the quarter was 9.3% (7.6) and for the six-month period was 7.9% (6.6). The increase in profit for the quarter and half-year is explained by the cumulatively somewhat more stable occupancy rate and efficiency improvements. State compensation for increased costs had a somewhat positive effect in the second quarter.

Personal Assistance

Revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 733m (685), an increase of 7% compared to the corresponding period last year, of which 5.4% (-0.1) was organic growth. Revenues for the six-month period were SEK 1,452m (1,369), an increase of 6%, of which 4.2% (0.7) was organic. The revenue increase for the quarter and half-year are due to more performed assistance hours, despite of a somewhat negative effect by the pandemic, a higher attendance allowance and acquisitions.

Operating profit for the quarter totalled SEK 29m (26), an increase of 15%. Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 70m (65), an increase of 8%. The operating margin was 4.0% (3.7) for the quarter and 4.8% (4.7) for the half-year. The operating margin was stable in the quarter and the period, and was helped marginally by compensation for sick pay caused by COVID-19.

Elderly Care

Revenues in Elderly Care amounted to SEK 155m (142) in the second quarter. The 9% increase is entirely organic. Revenues for the six-month period amounted to SEK 301m (276), also an organic increase of 9%. The revenue increase for the quarter and period are due to the new elderly care homes under our own management in Staffanstorp, which opened in the first quarter of 2019, and in Kungsängen, which opened in the third quarter of 2019.

Operating profit in the second quarter amounted to SEK 1m (0). Operating profit for the six-month period was SEK 1m (4), a decrease of 84%. Start-up costs for the unit in Kungsängen had a negative effect on profit of SEK 3m for the second quarter and SEK 6m for the half-year. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on profit due to higher personnel costs, higher sickness absence and higher costs for PPE. Some of the extra costs have been compensated for through state subsidies, net the effect remained negative. The effects of COVID-19 weakened occupancy rates in Stockholm and the surrounding areas. The operating margin was 0.7% (0.3) for the second quarter.

Finland

Revenues in Finland amounted to SEK 338m (341) in the second quarter, an increase of 1%. The organic growth was 0.0% (10.1). Revenues for the six-month period were SEK 688m (520), an increase of 32%. Organic growth was 9.1% (8.7). Openings of units had a positive effect but leaving unprofitable outsourcing contracts decreased volume, mainly in the second quarter.

Operating profit totalled SEK 11m (5), an increase of 128% compared to the same period last year. Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 27m (20), an increase of 36%. The operating margin was 3.2% (1.4) for the quarter and 4.0% (3.9) for the six-month period. The increase in operating margin in the second quarter is due to improvements in profitability, mainly in the acquired operation Coronaria Hoiva. Efforts to increase efficiency and profitability continued. The COVID-19 pandemic had a marginal effect on profits in the quarter.

Norway

Revenues in Norway amounted to SEK 201m (210) in the second quarter, a decrease of 4% that is entirely due to currency effects (the weakened Norwegian krona). In local currency revenues increased from 189 MNOK to 207 MNOK. Revenues for the six-month period amounted to SEK 395m (404), a decrease of 2%. Organically, revenues increased by 9.5% (6.2) in the quarter and by 7.0% (7.8) in the six-month period. The organic growth is due to openings of units, more customers and increasingly fewer effects from previously closed units.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 16m (16), an unchanged level in reporting currency. However, profit increased in local currency. Accordingly, the operating margin for the quarter increased somewhat to 7.9% (7.5). The improved operating margin is above all due to higher efficiency in the operation. Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 29m (25), an increase of 17%. The operating margin for the half-year period amounted to 7.3% (6.1). The pandemic had a marginal effect on profits in the quarter.

Financial position

Financing

The Group's equity amounted to SEK 2,370m (2,176) on 30 June 2020. The equity/assets ratio was 28.2% (26.7). Humana's interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 3,591m (3,882), a decrease of SEK 291m compared to the same period last year. Humana's leverage ratio, interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA, decreased to 4.6 times (7.1). The improved leverage ratio is due to higher profit and sale of properties.

30 Jun 30 Jun 31 Dec
SEK m 2020 2019 2019
Non-current interest-bearing liabilities 3,682 3,494 3,671
Current interest-bearing liabilities 864 877 878

Equity/assets ratio 28.2% 26.7% 28.0%
Interest-bearing net debt/adjusted EBITDA, 12 months, times 4.6x 7.1x 5.4x

Cash flow and investments

Operating cash flow during the quarter amounted to SEK 221m (136). The improvement comes from higher adjusted profit, lower investments, reduced working capital and the result effect of sale of properties.

Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 185m (66), with net cash flow from operating activities amounting to SEK 254m (195). The higher cash flow from operating activities is attributable to reduced working capital, SEK 61m (66), and increased profit. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK 48m (-773). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -44m (697).

Financial targets

Profitability

An operating margin of 7% over the medium term.

Revenue growth

Annual organic revenue growth of 5% over the medium term. Bolt-on acquisitions may generate additional annual growth of 2-3%.

Capital structure

Interest-bearing net debt not exceeding 4.5 times EBITDA, i.e. operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment (see Note 9b, Financial definitions and intent). Debt may temporarily exceed the target level, which may happen during acquisitions.

Dividend policy

Payment of a dividend equivalent to 30% of net profit for the year. The proposed dividend shall consider Humana's long-term development potential and financial position.

In June 2020, Impilo Care AB, Humana's principal owner, made an offer to Board members and senior executives of Humana to acquire synthetic options in Humana issued by Impilo Care AB. Humana did not participate in the offer and it will not cause any costs for Humana. A total of 461,000 synthetic options were acquired. The total market value of the options at the time of the transaction is estimated to be approximately SEK 1.4m. The synthetic options are related to Humana's share and expire after three years. The options can be exercised from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2023. The exercise price is SEK 77.90 per option.

Related party transactions

The Group's key personnel consists of the Board of Directors, Group management and the CEO, through ownership of Humana and through their roles as senior executives. Related party transactions are based on market conditions.

Risks and uncertainties

In the course of its operations, the Group is exposed to different types of financial risk, such as financing risk,

liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. Risks are described in more detail in the section in Humana's 2019 annual report entitled Risks and risk management on pages 56-61 as well as in Note G19.

The main risks related to operations and uncertainties that can affect Group performance are related to political decisions that may affect private care companies, as well as risks when implementing completed acquisitions.

Humana conducts operations that are financed by state, municipal and county council entities, and as such, operations can be affected by political decisions. As a result, Humana's opportunities for growth are affected by public opinion and political views on the Group's areas of operation. Humana is constantly monitoring the external situation. The purpose is to quickly perceive external changes in order to assess risks and opportunities, as well as adapt operations to external changes. The political situation is evaluated continuously.

Humana's operations are affected by the ongoing pandemic COVID-19. A crisis organisation supports the work to minimise the spread of the disease and its impact. Infectious diseases exist in society. These diseases can affect anyone, but the situation is most difficult for people in risk groups. In Humana's operations, there are customers and clients in risk groups, and we have guidelines and routines in our management system for how our operations should prevent and manage various infectious diseases. Infectious diseases can also mean that employees become sick at the same time, which can lead to difficulties staffing the operations. If there is an epidemic/pandemic, there is also a risk that Humana's revenues and costs will be negatively impacted, for instance as a result of lower occupancy and costs for sick leave and PPE, personal protective equipment.

Parent Company

Earnings for the Parent Company for the second quarter of 2020 amounted to SEK -2m (-51). The equity/assets ratio at 30 June was 46.8% (43.8). The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the operations of the subsidiaries, so risks and uncertainties are the same as those for the Group described above.

This interim report was not subject to a review as per ISRE 2410 by the Company's auditors.

The Board of Directors and CEO certify that this interim report for the first six-month period gives a true and fair presentation of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations, financial position and earnings, and describes the material risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the Group.

Note 1 Accounting policies

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting along with applicable stipulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act – Interim Reports. In general the same accounting policies and bases of calculation have been used as in the annual report for 2019, which was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as ratified by the EU, and interpretations of these.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A appear in the financial statements and their associated notes as well as in the interim information on pages 2-8, which form an integral part of this financial report.

New accounting standards applied from 1 January 2020

Humana has determined that new or amended standards and interpretations will not have any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Estimations and assessments

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make accounting estimates and assumptions which affect the application of the accounting policies and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may differ from these accounting estimates. The critical assessments and sources of uncertainty in estimates are the same as in the most recent annual report.

Fair value measurement

When determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable data as far as possible. Fair value is categorised in various levels in a fair value hierarchy based on input data that is used in the measurement method as follows:

Level 1: according to prices quoted in an active market for the same instruments

Level 2: based on directly or indirectly observable market data that is not included in level 1

Level 3: based on input data that is not observable in the market

Note 6c Hedge accounting

The Group is hedging parts of the foreign exchange risk related to net investments in foreign operations. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had exposure in EUR and NOK, which is hedged with loans in foreign currencies. Hedge accounting entails recognising the effective part of the translation differences in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had loans of EUR 40m and loans of NOK 328m for which hedge accounting is applied. The related translation difference of SEK 30m (-28) before tax is consequently recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Note 7 Incentive programmes

Humana has had two long-term incentive programmes that have been approved by the AGMs in 2016 and 2017. Both expired in the first half of 2020. One of the programmes, a share savings programme, was intended for key individuals at Humana and expired on 31 January 2020. The other programme, a warrant programme, was intended for eight senior executives and expired on 31 March 2020. The purpose of the programmes was to encourage a broad ownership among Humana employees, facilitate recruitment, retain competent employees and increase the motivation to achieve or exceed Humana's financial targets.

For the share savings programme, participants could invest in saving shares (at market price) and then, based on the terms of the programme, could receive matching shares and potentially even performance-based shares at the end of the programme. The number of registered saving shares at 31 March 2020 amounted to 44,045, which corresponds to a maximum allocation of 52,462 shares. The shares were distributed in April and May 2020.

The warrants were acquired at market price and were issued in three separate series that could be redeemed at different times. The first date for redeeming the warrants was during the period 1-31 March 2018 at the subscription price of SEK 74.40. The second date for redeeming the warrants was during the period 1-31 March 2019 at the subscription price of SEK 77.50. The third date for redeeming the warrants was during the period 1-31 March 2020 at the subscription price of SEK 80.60.

Note 8a Reconciliation with IFRS financial statements

In the financial reports that Humana issues, there are alternative performance measures specified that complement the measurements defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting rules. Alternative performance measures are indicated when, in their context, they provide clearer or more detailed information than the measurements defined in the applicable financial reporting rules. The alternative performance measures are derived from the Company's consolidated financial statements and are not IFRS measures.
