A weak finish to an eventful year
Humana's revenue continued to grow in the fourth quarter, but operating profit was weak. Overall, 2019 saw a high degree of activity and strong growth. Humana took a more defined position as a leading Nordic care group, but operating profit was not satisfactory. In 2020 the Group will concentrate on improving profitability and creating more stability. We have also revised our financial targets to reflect this direction more clearly.
Humana's operating revenues amounted to SEK 1.9bn during the fourth quarter and to nearly SEK 7.5bn for 2019. This is an increase of 11 percent and well in line with our annual growth rate target. However, operating profit was weak: SEK 71m for the quarter and SEK 369m for the full year. This is equivalent to an

operating margin of 4.9 percent, which is not sufficient to reach our profitability target. Both the quarter and the year were strong in terms of cash flow.
During the year, we grew our business in Finland and strengthened Humana's position as a leading Nordic care group. Revenues in Finland amounted to SEK 1.2bn for the full year, an increase of 86 percent. Revenues in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 348m, an increase of 119 percent. The increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Coronaria Hoiva, but we also continued to experience strong organic growth, with several new units opening during the year. However, the quarter was disappointing in terms of profit. We still face profitability challenges in our new operation, and operating profit was also affected by integration costs. Unfortunately, the political debate in Finland after the revelations of poor quality on the part of a number of providers last year has made the market more difficult, where compensation levels are not increased in line with increased staffing requirements and higher regulatory pressure.
Challenges also remain in the business area Individual & Family, and revenues declined by 4 percent for both the quarter and the full year. Despite a greater need in society, demand is still weak in the children and adolescents segment with lower occupancy as a consequence. The lower occupancy has affected the operating profit and the operating margin declined to 5.1 percent for the quarter. The margin was 8.0 percent for the full year. However, I see that our internal efforts to face this challenge are moving in the right direction, and with the new management in place we are increasing our efforts to increase capacity utilisation and flexibility in the cost base.
Personal Assistance continues to deliver stable revenues and profit. We were also pleased to see even higher customer satisfaction than before: the customer satisfaction index was 78 for 2019, compared with 75 for 2018. Operating profit for the full year increased by 2 percent, and the operating margin amounted to 5.5 percent. However, operating profit for the quarter declined due to pressure on margins when payroll expenses increased faster than the assistance allowance, a trend that has continued for several years. Meanwhile,
pressure on the government and the cooperating parties to provide additional financial resources to personal assistance has increased due to an inquiry on the personal assistant profession that was released in January this year. The government has also expressed, even more clearly than in the past, its intention to strengthen the right to personal assistance.
In the business area Elderly Care, the start-up of our new elderly care home in Kungsängen was in focus during the quarter. We also received a strong acknowledgement in the National Board of Health and Welfare's annual review of elderly care homes in Sweden, where Humana's elderly care homes rank high above the national average, with a customer satisfaction rate of 88 percent, compared with the national rate of 81 percent. In 2019 revenues in Elderly Care amounted to SEK 564m. The operation grew by 23 percent in the full year and 11 percent during the quarter. Operating profit increased for the full year, but not during the fourth quarter where start-up costs for Kungsängen decreased the profit.
Our operation in Norway remains stable. Revenues increased by 11 percent during the quarter and 7 percent for the full year. The operating margin reached a satisfactory level of 7 percent both for the quarter and the full year, which was lower on a quarterly basis than the previous year but unchanged on an annual basis.
During the autumn we reviewed our strategy together with our Board of Directors. As a result of both our strategy process and the new IFRS 16 accounting standard, the Board of Directors has revised our financial targets from 2020 onward. The new targets distinguish more clearly between value creation through organic versus acquired growth, and place more emphasis on capital intensity and return on capital. Read about the new targets on pages 9-10.
In conclusion, 2019 was a year with a high level of activity. We continued to build a sustainable Nordic care group while experiencing strong growth, but we grappled with several challenges as well. Today Humana has an even sharper focus on profitability. We need to improve profitability in several segments. At the same time, large parts of our operations are very stable and we are confident about the future, since we can see that we have an even more important role to play as a provider of cost-effective quality care in the welfare sector.

Group performance
Revenue
Fourth-quarter operating revenue amounted to SEK 1,912m (1,700), an increase of 12% compared with the same quarter in the previous year. Acquired operations, that is, companies that were not owned throughout the previous comparative period, contributed SEK 165m to revenues in the quarter, of which SEK 143m relates to revenues from the Coronaria Hoiva acquisition in Finland. Organic revenue growth for the quarter was 0.7% (4.8). The low organic growth during the quarter compared with the same period in the previous year is largely attributable to lower growth rate in Norway, as well as in Elderly Care. Operations under own management accounted for 93% of total revenues in the quarter, and contracted operations accounted for 7%.
Operating revenue totalled SEK 7,467m (6,725) for the full year 2019, an increase of 11%, and in line with our financial growth target. Acquired operations accounted for SEK 613m of revenues, of which SEK 443m relates to revenues from Coronaria Hoiva. Organic revenue growth was 2% (3.4). The low rate of organic growth during the full year compared with the previous year is largely attributable to lower capacity utilisation in Individual & Family, as well as lower growth in Norway.
Profit
Operating profit for the fourth quarter was SEK 71m (82), a decrease of 13%. The operating margin was 3.7% (4.8). The profit was affected by integration costs of SEK 6m (-) for Coronaria Hoiva. In addition to integration costs, the lower profit during the quarter is primarily attributable to lower capacity utilisation in Individual & Family, as well as a loss in the Finnish operation acquired during the year. Acquisition-related items amounted to SEK 0m (-13). The effects of IFRS 16 on operating profit amounted to SEK 16m (-) during the quarter, due to lower rental costs of SEK 83m and higher amortisation of SEK 67m (a reduction in central costs).
Operating profit for full year 2019 was SEK 369m (391), a decrease of 6%. The operating margin was 4.9 % (5.8), which is lower than our financial profitability target – an operating margin at 6%. Operating profit was affected by integration costs of - SEK 14m (-). Acquisition related items amounted to SEK 28m (-18), and capital gains on property sales amounted to SEK 4m (0). In addition to costs for integration and acquisition-related items, the lower profit during the full year is primarily attributable to a loss in Coronaria Hoiva, as well as lower capacity utilisation in the Individual & Family business area. The effects of IFRS 16 on operating profit for the full year amounted to SEK 46m (-).

Performance by business area
Individual & Family
Revenues for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 518m (540), a decrease of 4% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Revenues for the full year amounted to SEK 2,095m (2,188), a decrease of 4%. The decline in revenue is attributable to lower capacity utilisation due to lower demand, primarily in the market segment for children and adolescents.
Operating profit for the quarter totalled SEK 27m (37), a decrease of 28% compared with the previous year. Operating profit for the full year totalled SEK 168m (196), a decrease of 14% compared with the previous year. The operating margin for the quarter was 5.1% (6.8) and for the full year it was 8.0% (9.0). The decline in the profit for the quarter and for the full year is primarily attributable to lower capacity utilisation. Our efforts to increase sales and adjust to better meet the partially changed demands from customers continue, while we are intensifying efforts to increase flexibility in the cost base.
Personal Assistance
Revenues for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 707m (689), an increase of 3% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 2,783m (2,668), an increase of 4%. The increase in revenue for the quarter and full year is due to acquisitions. A higher assistance allowance per hour provided also made a positive contribution. The lower rate of organic growth of 0.3% (2.2) during the quarter is explained by a lower number of assistance hours provided. Organic growth for the full year was 0.9% (0.7). The market has declined with 2.4% in 2019.
Operating profit for the quarter totalled SEK 37m (41), a decrease of 9%. The lower profit for the quarter is primarily attributable to payroll expenses that increased more than the assistance allowance. Operating profit for the full year increased by 2% and amounted to SEK 154m (151). The operating margin was 5.2% (5.9) for the quarter and 5.5% (5.7) for the full year.
Elderly Care
Revenues in Elderly Care amounted to SEK 143m (129) in the fourth quarter, an 11% increase that is completely organic. Revenues for the full year amounted to SEK 564m (457), an organic growth rate of 23%. The revenue increase is primarily attributable to the new elderly housing units under own management in Staffanstorp and Kungsängen, as well as an increase in contracted operations.
Operating profit for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 0m (4). Start-up costs for Kungsängen, which opened during Q3, had a negative impact of SEK 4m on fourth quarter. Operating profit for the full year amounted to SEK 13m (9). The operating margin was 0.3% (2.9) for the quarter and 2.3% (2.0) for the full year.
Finland
Revenues in Finland amounted to SEK 348m (159) in the fourth quarter, an increase of 119%. Revenues for the full year amounted to SEK 1,204m (648), an increase of 86%. The acquisition of Coronaria Hoiva contributed SEK 143m to revenues for the quarter and SEK 443m for the full year. Organic revenue growth was 10.7% (6.9) for the quarter, and 9.6% (12.7) for the full year. The opening of new units and a higher number of customers contribute to organic growth.
Operating profit totalled SEK 9m (17), a decrease of 46% compared with the previous year. Operating profit for the full year was SEK 49m (68), a decrease of 29%. The operating margin for the quarter was 2.7% (10.9) and for the full year it was 4.0% (10.5). The decrease in operating profit and operating margin is explained by challenges with profitability in the newly acquired operations in Finland, where the efforts to increase the profitability also have entailed higher costs, and by integration costs. Costs to integrate the acquired operation amounted to SEK 6m for the quarter and SEK 14m for the full year. A higher number of start-ups than usual in individual and family care also had some effect on the margin.
Norway
Revenues in Norway amounted to SEK 196m (177) in the fourth quarter, an increase of 11%. Revenues for the full year totalled SEK 794m (746), an increase of 7%. Organic revenue decreased by 0.7% (19.0) during the quarter, but it increased by 4.2% (7.6) for the full year. The rate of organic growth for the full year is attributable to the opening of new units and a higher number of customers. The negative rate of organic growth during the quarter is attributable to a lower number of customers than during the comparative period as a result of the closure of unprofitable units.

Operating profit totalled SEK 13m (20), a decrease of 32% compared with the previous year. This includes SEK 3m (-) in costs for termination of lease contracts. Operating profit for the full year increased by 7% and amounted to SEK 59m (55). The operating margin for the quarter decreased to 6.8% (11.1). The operating margin for the full year increased slightly to 7.4% (7.3).

Financial position
Financing
Consolidated equity amounted to SEK 2,305m (2,147) on 31 December 2019. The equity/assets ratio was 28% (41.1). Humana's interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 3,712m (1,378), an increase of 169% compared with the same period the previous year. Humana's debt-to-equity ratio, its interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA, increased to 5.4 times (3.0). The increased debt-to-equity ratio is explained by the new accounting standard IFRS 16 and increased credit utilisation in association with the acquisition of Coronaria Hoiva. The new acquisition loan of EUR 55m has the same terms and period as the original financing.

Cash flow and investment expenditures
Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 220m (136) in the quarter. Excluding the effects of IFRS 16, operating cash flow totalled SEK 137m (136). Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 144m (9) in the quarter, with cash flow from operating activities amounting to SEK 289m (191). The higher cash flow from operating activities is partly attributable to a positive change in working capital of SEK 133m (88). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -7m (-108). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -70m (-27), of which SEK -69m (-) was amortisation of lease liabilities (effect of IFRS 16).
Financial targets
During autumn 2019 the Board of Directors and Group management performed a strategic review of Humana that resulted in a new business plan. At the Board meeting before the publication of this quarterly report, the Board of Directors decided to revise the Group's financial targets. The revised financial targets, which are effective as of 2020, are as follows after taking into account the IFRS 16 accounting standard and Humana's financial position:
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, for example in connection with acquisitions.

Previous financial targets (through 2019):
Profitability
Previous target: An operating margin of approximately 6% over the medium term.
Revenue growth
Previous target: Annual growth rate of 8-10% over the medium term, achieved through organic growth as well as bolt-on acquisitions.
Capital structure
Previous target: Interest-bearing net debt to EBITDA of no more than 3.0 times. However, debt may temporarily exceed the target level, for example in connection with acquisitions.

The main risks related to operations and uncertainties that can affect Group performance concern political decisions that may affect private care companies, and risks when implementing completed acquisitions.
Humana conducts operations that are financed by state, municipal and county council entities, which means that operations are 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.
Parent Company
The Parent Company's net profit for the full year 2019 was SEK 70m (84). The equity/assets ratio at 31 December was 45.8% (44.4 at 31 December 2018). 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 fourth quarter 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.

Notes 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. From 1 January 2019, the Group applies IFRS 16 Leases, which is described in detail in the section "New accounting standards applied from 1 January 2019" below. In general, the same accounting policies and bases of calculation have been used as in the annual report for 2018, 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 2-10, which form an integral part of this financial report.
New accounting standards applied from 1 January 2019
IFRS 16 Leases replaces IAS 17 Leases and applies from 1 January 2019.
Effects of the transition to IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 Leases means that lease payments that were previously recognised as other external expenses are replaced by the cost of depreciation on leased assets and an interest expense attributable to lease liabilities in the income statement, which corresponds to the reporting of financial leases in the previous IAS 17 standard. In the previous standard, operating leases were recognised outside the balance sheet with information on the liability, and lease payments were recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Humana's transition to IFRS 16 has a positive effect on operating profit and a negative effect on profit after financial items. It does not affect equity or deferred taxes. There is no transition effect for finance leases. The effects on the balance sheet as at 1 January 2019 are shown in the table below.
Scope
Humana's lease portfolio contains about 1,000 leases and mainly comprises operational leases for premises, offices and company cars. Existing finance leases previously recognised in accordance with IAS 17 Leases are reclassified in accordance with IFRS 16 at the amounts at which they were recognised on the day before application of the new standard.
Method
Humana has chosen to recognise the transition to the new standard using the modified retrospective approach. The relief rule of not establishing a comparative year has been applied. The size of the right-of-use asset has been valued to correspond to the size of the lease liability at the time of transition. A marginal loan rate has been set for premises, while for cars the implicit interest in the lease is used. The right-of-use period has been established allowing for how termination and extension clauses have been applied. The simplified transition method for the transition to IFRS 16 C10 (c) has been applied, which means that leases that are 12 months or shorter are excluded from the calculation and exempt from capitalisation in the balance sheet, as are leases with a low-value underlying asset. Low value is USD 5 thousand. Humana rents apartments on short-term leases. These are not included in the calculation as it cannot be established with reasonable certainty whether they will be extended. Humana leases certain office equipment, such as printers and coffee machines, which are considered of low value.

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.

Note 4a Acquisition of operations
Acquisitions in 2019
- Coronaria Hoiva Oy (Finland) April 2019
- Assistans på Gotland AB (Personal Assistance) June 2019
On 28 January, Humana entered an agreement to acquire all shares in Coronaria Hoiva Oy from its owner Coronaria Oy. Coronaria Hoiva Oy is one of the largest private care providers in Finland and provides elderly and LSS housing as well as social psychiatry for adults. The business had 63 units with four more planned to open in 2019. After the Finnish competition authority approved the acquisition, Humana took over on 16 April. Coronaria Hoiva was valued at EUR 71m. The purchase was financed with cash and new credit facilities.
The acquisition of Coronaria Hoiva provides Humana with an attractive platform for continued organic growth in Finland and good opportunities for quality development and synergies. Humana's Finnish operations previously consisted of the subsidiary Arjessa Oy. With this acquisition Humana becomes a complete care provider in Finland as well.
Humana acquired all shares in Coronaria Hoiva Oy by paying the entire purchase price of EUR 49.6m in cash on the acquisition date of 16 April 2019. In the following acquisition analysis, no differences have been identified between carrying amounts and fair values. The acquisition analysis is based on the financial statements as of 31 March 2019.
In May, Humana signed an agreement to acquire all shares in the assistance company Assistans på Gotland AB. The company's annual revenues amount to approximately SEK 56m and it has around 115 employees. The acquisition was completed on 1 June.

The goodwill of SEK 695m that is included in the acquisition of Coronaria Hoiva is partly due to the new platform for continued organic growth in Finland and partly to the synergy gains arising from the merger. This goodwill is not deemed to be tax deductible.
Acquisition costs
Acquisition costs amount to SEK 0m for the quarter and SEK 28m for the full year. The costs relate to the fees paid to external legal representatives and consultants associated with due diligence and transaction tax associated with acquisitions. The expenditures are recognised under other operating expenses in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income.
If the two acquisitions made during full-year 2019 had been completed on 1 January 2019, Humana's assessment is that the Group's revenue for the year would have amounted to SEK 7,634m (SEK 167m higher), operating profit to SEK 370m (SEK 1m higher) and profit for the year after tax to SEK 185m (SEK 2m lower).

Humana made five minor acquisitions in 2018. With these acquisitions, Humana strengthened its operations in Finland, took its first step into Denmark and expanded its personal assistance operations in Sweden. In Finland, Humana acquired Luotsimaja Oy in Björneborg in western Finland and Matiimi Oy in the Birkaland region, both with operations in psychosocial disorders for children and adolescents. In Denmark, Humana acquired Støttecompagniet ApS in Copenhagen, with individual and family outpatient care. In Sweden, Humana acquired two businesses for the Personal Assistance business area, Västgöta Assistans AB in Kinna and RIK Assistans AB in Härnösand.

Fair value measurement
When the fair value of an asset or liability is to be determined, 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 valuation 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 31 December 2019, the Group had exposure in EUR and NOK, which is hedged with loans in foreign currencies. As from 1 January 2018, hedge accounting is applied and thus the effective part of the translation differences is recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. As at 31 December 2019, the Group had loans of EUR 39m and loans of NOK 328m for which hedge accounting is applied. The related translation difference of SEK -17m (-3) before tax is consequently recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Note 7 Incentive programmes
As at 31 December 2019, Humana has two long-term incentive programmes that were approved by the AGMs in 2016 and 2017. The warrant programme is directed at eight senior executives and the share savings programme is directed at key employees at Humana. The purpose of the programmes is 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.
The warrants were acquired at market price and were issued in three separate series that can 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 is during the period 1-31 March 2020. The subscription price for Series 3 is SEK 80.60.
For the share savings programme, participants were able to invest in saving shares (at market price) and then, based on the terms of the programme, receive matching shares and potentially even performance-based shares at the end of the programme. The number of registered saving shares at 31 December 2019 amounts to 45,278, which corresponds to a maximum allocation of 61,667 shares.

| Cash flow from financing activities | -70 | 69 | -1 | -27 | 14 | 250 | 264 | -166 |
1) According to IFRS 16, lease payments are divided between amortisation of lease liabilities and interest expenses. In comparison with 2018, this means a positive effect on cash flow from operating activities, since depreciation of
right-of-use assets is reversed as non-cash, while the greater part of lease payments are
recognised as amortisation of interest-bearing liabilities in cash flow from financing activities.

Note 9a 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 non-IFRS measures.
