A weaker finish to a good full year

"The 2016 results are well in line with our long-term objective, which is satisfying. Developments in the fourth quarter are on track when it comes to the Personal Assistance, Elderly Care and Other Nordics business areas, while the results for Individual & Family did not meet our expectations."

For Humana, 2016 was an exciting and eventful year. The Company achieved several significant milestones during the year, with the IPO and significant expansion into Finland as most central. In 2016 Humana went from being a Swedish care provider with a presence in Norway to a

leading Nordic care company with a focus on operations under own management. During the year we opened many new units, increased our specialisation and our geographical presence, and made no less than seven acquisitions. We made additional investments in quality at all levels of our care operations. Part of the work involved developing a common quality management system for monitoring and controlling the various units and business areas across the Nordics. In addition to our ongoing quality efforts, we worked on consolidating the acquisitions carried out in 2015 and 2016, streamlining operations in Personal Assistance to the extent possible to compensate for the challenges facing the industry and ensuring the continued expansion of elderly housing under our own management in the Elderly Care business area.

The year has also brought challenges. The political debate at the national level in Sweden with proposals for farreaching restrictions on profit, even if they are not supported by a majority in the riksdag, would in practice become a restriction of free enterprise. Future investments and initiatives necessary to ensure the longterm development of Swedish care and healthcare is at stake, while the need and desire to engage private companies in municipalities and counties has never been greater.

In its first year as a listed company Humana reports growth of 13%, which is above the Company's long-term target. Operating profit, adjusted for IPO expenses, increased by 9%, representing an operating margin of 5.8%, also in line with the Company's target. If we look at developments in the concluding fourth quarter, I am on the whole satisfied with Personal Assistance, Elderly Care and Other Nordics, while I confess to being somewhat disappointed in the Individual & Family outcome.

We are pleased that the results of the mitigation programme in Personal Assistance has gone very well, that our refocus and initiatives in elderly housing under our own management in Elderly Care helped improve earnings and that Other Nordics, both the original

business and acquired units, reported a strong increase compared with previous year. It is satisfying to note that the acquisition of KOA Group in Norway and our establishment in Finland continues to exceed expectations. We continue to see Norway and Finland as very attractive growth markets. The ongoing care and healthcare reform in Finland, the SOTE reform, means in practice a strong political commitment to private companies, which also is encouraging for our future growth ambition.

Individual & Family, supported by strong organic expansion and acquisitions, increased revenues by an amazing 16% during the year and 5% in the fourth quarter. I note that the substantial growth has had a negative impact on profitability. To take advantage of attractive growth opportunities, the strategy has been to prioritise growth over profitability in the short term. Profitability was affected by start-up costs, reorganisation of several units, slightly lower capacity utilisation and step investments for handling larger volumes. The focus going forward will be on consolidating and increasing the pace of integration of acquisitions to achieve greater efficiency. Through the years, Humana has built up good knowledge and experience in running this type of change project.

Humana was well prepared for the challenges that the personal assistance industry faced last year. We currently have a position of strength in personal assistance that we can use to play an active role in the ongoing market consolidation. It was satisfactory to see that the number of customers stabilised at the end of the year, despite a shrinking market.

I would like to summarise an eventful year by presenting a few numbers. In March, we welcomed more than 20,000 new shareholders to Humana, during the year we strengthened our expertise with over 1,000 amazing new employees, which brings us up to about 16,000 employees in the Group, together we have helped over 9,000 customers and we grew 13% to reach a total operating income that exceeded SEK 6 billion. It is appropriate to be somewhat proud of what we have achieved together.

Group performance

Revenue

Operating revenue in the fourth quarter increased 11% to SEK 1,681 M (1,521 incl. SEK 62 M in capital gains and 13 M in discontinued operations), an increase of SEK 222 M, in line with Humana's target of annual growth of 8-10%. Our own managed operations accounted for 95% of revenue. Acquired operations (companies that were not owned during the whole previous comparative period) contributed SEK 226 M to revenue in the quarter. Organic revenue decreased by 0.5%. The decrease is explained mainly by reorganisations of units and weaker capacity utilisation in Individual & Family.

For the full year 2016, operating revenue increased by 13% to SEK 6,362 M (5,655 including SEK 62 M in capital gains and SEK 79 M in divested units), which is above the growth target. Acquired companies contributed SEK 720 M to the increase in operating revenue. Organically, i.e. excluding acquisitions, revenue increased by SEK 69 M. The increase in organic growth was 1.1%.

Profit

Operating profit for the fourth quarter decreased compared to the previous year, amounting to SEK 73 M (78 including SEK 18 M in positive items affecting comparability). Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 73 M (60), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 4.3% (3.9). Acquisitions contributed SEK 21 million to operating profit. Profits were negatively affected by increased costs for higher social security contributions for young people of SEK 10 M and higher property rental costs due to the sale and leaseback transaction in 2015 amounting to SEK 5 M (1). Profit before tax was in line with the equivalent period last year at SEK 48 M (50). Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 34 M (47). Profit per ordinary share for the period before and after dilution amounted to SEK 0.65 (0.56).

Full year 2016 operating profit was SEK 329 M (312 incl. items affecting comparability of positive net SEK -27 M). Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 369 M (340), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 5.8% (6.0). Acquired companies contributed SEK 91 M to EBIT. Profit for the year was negatively affected by higher social security contributions for young people of SEK 51 M as well as acquisition costs of SEK 16 M (4) and higher property rental costs due to sale and leaseback of SEK 18 M (1). Costs of SEK 40 M for the IPO were charged against profit (items affecting comparability last year was net SEK -27 M, see table below). Profit after tax for the year amounted to SEK 170 M (114). Profit per ordinary share for the year before and after dilution amounted to SEK 2.87 (0.61).

Events during the quarter

Försäkringskassan transitions from paying in advance to paying in arrears

Försäkringskassan initiated payment in arrears instead of the previous payment in advance as of 1 October 2016. The impact on working capital in the fourth quarter was approximately SEK 300 M. The previous estimate of a total impact of SEK 200–300 M remains unchanged.

Acquisition of two small businesses

Humana acquired Platea AB (Individual & Family) in November and Pienryhmäkoti Puolenhehtaarin Metsä Oy (Other Nordics) in December.

Events during the year

Acquisition of Kvæfjord Opplevelse og Avlastning AS (KOA Group) and Arjessa Oy

In the second quarter, Humana acquired Kvæfjord Opplevelse og Avlastning AS (KOA Group) in Norway and Arjessa Oy in Finland. The acquisition of KOA expanded Humana's operations in Norway. The purchase of Arjessa means an expansion into Finland and is an important milestone in Humana's ambition to become the leading care company in the Nordics.

Amended pay and fixed wage increase in personal assistance in Sweden

The increase in pay for personal assistants in Sweden was fixed at 2.2%. The proposed increase in compensation is SEK 3 to SEK 291 per hour, equivalent to a 1% raise.

Acquisition of four small businesses in the Individual & Family business area

Humana acquired Nygårds Vård Gotland AB in April, and Kilen Akut Behandlingshem AB and FUGA omsorg AB in September. Humana also acquired Platea AB in November.

Reorganisation of LSS operations

To focus and strengthen opportunities for future quality development and growth, special services housing operations that were previously under the Elderly Care business area were reorganised and placed under the Individual & Family business area.

Events after year-end

Humana's Board proposes the AGM 2017 that a dividend of SEK 0.50 per share is to be distributed for 2016

Acquisition of Skellefteå Stöd och Behandling AB

In January, Humana acquired Skellefteå Stöd och Behandling AB (Individual & Family).

Establishment of elderly housing under own management in Staffanstorp in 2018

Humana intends to open its third elderly housing unit under own management in 2018.

Business area performance

Individual & Family

Revenue grew 5% in the quarter to SEK 560 M (535). Organic decline was 2.5%. Full year revenue increased by 16% to SEK 2,214 M (1,902), of which organic growth was 4.4%. Growth for the full year is mainly explained by more units compared to the same quarter last year. The weaker growth rate in the fourth quarter was due to a slightly lower capacity utilisation and an ongoing reorganisation of some units. The reorganisation entails a conversion of previous transit and migration units into more specialised treatment units. Acquisitions contributed SEK 39 M to revenue in the quarter and SEK 230 M in 2016.

Operating profit declined to SEK 34 M (51), corresponding to an operating margin of 6.1% (9.5) in the quarter. Acquisitions contributed SEK 6 M to profits. The margin decline is explained by lower capacity utilisation, increased rental costs since properties previously owned are now leased, reorganisation costs, increased costs for social security fees for young people and costs for integrating acquisitions. Operating profit for the year amounted to SEK 211 M (221), a decrease of SEK 10 M. Acquisitions contributed SEK 35 M to operating profit for the year.

In the fourth quarter, Humana acquired a small company, Platea AB.

Personal Assistance

Revenue decreased by 3% to SEK 651 M (673) in the fourth quarter and decreased 2% during the year. An increase in the state reimbursement level of 1.4% compared with the previous year influenced revenues. The number of customers and the number of assistance hours has declined though, both in the quarter and during the year. The market for personal assistance reported a 3% reduction in the number of people eligible for assistance for the year. More restrictive assessments by Försäkringskassan reduced the rate of increase in the number of assistance hours and the number of customers.

Operating profit was SEK 34 M (45), a 25% decrease, corresponding to an operating margin of 5.2% (6.7) in the quarter. The ongoing mitigation programme has helped to compensate for the impact of increased social security contributions for young people of SEK 7 M in the quarter and for the fact that the payroll expense increase exceeded the increase in the state reimbursement level. Operating profit for the full year decreased by 17% to SEK 151 M (182). The decrease is attributable to factors such as fewer assistance hours, that the payroll expense increase exceeded the increase in the state reimbursement level and the costs of social security contributions for young people have increased. The cost increase due

to higher social security contributions for young people amounted to SEK 39 M for the year.

Elderly Care

Revenue from the elderly care segment amounted to SEK 147 M (148 incl. SEK 13 M in divested operations) in the fourth quarter. Full year revenue was SEK 580 M (585 including SEK 59 M in divested operations). Revenues for the quarter and the year were affected positively by the elderly housing unit under our own management in Gävle. During the first quarter, three home services units were divested, which contributed SEK 59 M to revenues in 2015.

Operating profit was SEK -2 M (-15 if adjusting for goodwill write-down within the home care operation amounting to SEK 36 M) for the quarter. Profit increased because of internal improvement measures, divested home care services and our establishment in Gävle. The full year however was negatively impacted by start-up costs for the elderly housing unit and increased social security costs for young people. Operating profit for the full year was SEK -6 M (-22 if excluding goodwill write-down the result for 2015).

During the first quarter Humana signed an agreement with Attendo for the transfer of three home care service units in Stockholm. The units' revenue and operating profit for 2015 amounted to SEK 59 M and SEK -7 M, respectively. Construction on two of our own elderly housing units is ongoing and the units are planned to open in 2017. Humana also signed an agreement for an elderly housing unit under own management in Staffanstorp. The housing unit is scheduled to open in 2018.

Other Nordics

Revenue from Finland and Norway amounted to SEK 322 M (103) in the fourth quarter, an increase of 213%. Organically, at a constant currency exchange rate, revenue increased by 27%. The growth is due to opening of new units, high occupancy rates and good customer growth in personal assistance. Acquisitions contributed SEK 187 M to revenue in the quarter. The acquisitions of the KOA Group and Arjessa contributed to revenue in full for the quarter but for seven months of the full year. For the year, revenue amounted to SEK 924 M (416), an increase of SEK 508 M, of which acquisitions contributed SEK 409 M. The sale of Villa Skaar in Norway in 2015 affects the revenue comparison between the years. Villa Skaar contributed SEK 20 M in 2015.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 23 M (3), an operating margin of 7.3% (2.7). Acquisitions contributed SEK 15 M to earnings. For the full year, operating profit increased to SEK 89 M (-13 incl. capital loss of SEK 32 M for Villa Skaar), of which acquisitions contributed SEK 55 M.

In the second quarter, Humana acquired Arjessa, a leading individual and family care provider in Finland. The company's revenue for 2015 amounted to SEK 299 M and operating profit before goodwill amortisation was SEK 29 M.

Humana also acquired the KOA Group (Kvæfjord Opplevelse og Avlastning AS). KOA is one of the largest providers of individual and family care and special services housing (HOT) in Norway. In 2015, revenue in the KOA Group amounted to SEK 203 M and operating profit was SEK 30 M.

EBIT margin Q4 2016

Financial position

On 8 March 2016, Humana entered a new five-year loan agreement with DNB and SEB. The loan agreement, amounting to SEK 2,200 M is divided into three parts: a loan of SEK 250 M with an annual amortisation of SEK 50 M, a loan of SEK 1,150 M without amortisation and a credit facility of SEK 800 M, which was utilised during the quarter. The annual rate of interest on the credit facilities amounts to around 2%, of which the majority have variable interest rates. The loan agreement is conditional on two covenants: net debt/EBITDA and interest coverage.

Consolidated equity at the end of 2016 amounted to SEK 1,726 M (1,093 on 31 December 2015). The IPO strengthened equity with a new share issue of SEK 450 M. Humana's interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA at the end of the year stood at 3.9 times (3.0), which is above the company's debt target. The increase for the quarter is mainly due to Försäkringskassan's decision to introduce payment in arrears as opposed to the previous payment in advance arrangement in Personal Assistance, implemented on 1 October 2016 and which increased the working capital requirement during the fourth quarter by some SEK 300 M. The goal is for interest-bearing net debt over time to not exceed a factor of 3.0 EBITDA.

Financial position

Non-current interest-bearing liabilities 1 405 1 550

Equity/assets ratio, % 34.8% 28.5%
Interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA 12 months times 3.9x 3.0x

Cash flow and capital expenditures

The change in working capital during the year was SEK -372 M (38). Working capital was negatively affected by the introduction of payment in arrears in Personal Assistance, amounting to about SEK 300 M, and an increase in trade receivables. The comparison with last year is also affected by the fact that operations with payment in arrears grew faster than Personal Assistance, which still had a payment in advance model. Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 8 M (405) and was charged with listing costs and acquisition costs of SEK 40 M and SEK 16 M respectively. Adjusted for these costs, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 64 M. Settlement of earn-out payments related to acquisitions from previous years amounted to SEK -19 M. Acquisitions had a net negative impact on cash flow of SEK -474 M (-141). Investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK -142 M (-42). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 733 M (-93). Humana issued shares in connection with the IPO that raised SEK 442 M in net proceeds. Amortisation of the previous loan facility amounted to SEK -1,678 M (-1,732). Cash flow for the year was SEK -44 M (258).

Financial targets

Revenue growth

• Annual growth of 8%-10% in the medium term, achieved through organic growth as well as bolt-on acquisitions

The programmes include a warrant programme and a share savings programme.

The option scheme involves eight senior executives with a total of 1,440,420 warrants entitling the holder to subscribe for the same number of new Humana shares. The market value amounts to approx. SEK 5.5 M. and if the maximum amount is subscribed for, dilution will amount to 2.6% of the total number of Humana shares. The warrants were issued in three series with different maturities.

The share savings programme involves 187 employees at Humana. The participants in the programme have acquired Humana shares at the stock exchange's market price. Those who retain their savings shares over the programme's three-year period will receive matching shares for each savings share acquired at the end of those three years. At full allotment, the total number of shares amounts to a maximum of 106,000 shares, corresponding to 0.2 percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company.

Notes Note 1 Accounting policies

This year-end report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting along with applicable stipulations of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The year-end report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act – Interim Reports. For the Group, the same accounting policies and bases of calculation have been used as in the annual report for 2015 which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the EU, and interpretations of these. No changes have been made in the Group's accounting policies.

Note 2 Estimations and assessments

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires that company management makes assessments and estimations along with assumptions that affect application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimations and assessments. Estimations and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Changed estimations are reported prospectively. The critical assessments made by company management that have a material impact on the financial statements and that may entail a material adjustment in the future are related primarily to impairment testing of goodwill and in the preparation of purchase price allocation calculations.

Impairment testing of goodwill

Goodwill is tested annually to determine if there is any need to recognise impairment. Such impairment testing is conducted for calculations that are based on management's assumptions about the rate of growth, profit margin, investment need and the discount rate. Other estimations may result in another outcome and another financial position.

Preparation of purchase price allocation calculations

In connection with acquisitions of subsidiaries or operations, an assessment is made of the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with the acquisition. The value of these assets and liabilities is calculated using various valuation techniques. Other assessments than those made by management may result in another future position. For example, a higher share of goodwill would give rise to an asset item that is not subject to regular amortisation, but rather to annual impairment testing.

Note 3 Operating segments

Humana reports according to the following business segments:

  • Individual & Family: Provides care and treatment for children, youths and adults by offering various forms of living solutions, family homes, outpatient care and other support. Treatment is concentrated to psychiatry and psychosocial change work but also services for people with functional disabilities through home-care services in accordance with the Act on System of Choice in the Public Sector (LOV).

Net assets in acquired companies as per the acquisition date

*The acquisition analyses are preliminary since the final settlements have not been determined.

In April 2016 Humana acquired 100% of the shares in Nygårds Vård Gotland AB. The acquisition will strengthen Humana's geographic position and specialisation in the Individual & Family business area. Revenue in Nygårds Vård Gotland AB, which provides accommodation for adults with mental disabilities, amounted to SEK 12 M in 2015.

Humana acquired 100% of the shares in Kvæfjord Opplevelse og Avlastning AS (KOA Group) in May 2016. The acquisition of the KOA Group strengthened Humana's position as one of the largest providers of individual and family care and special services housing (HOT) in Norway. In 2015, revenue in the KOA Group amounted to SEK 203 M and operating profit was SEK 30 M. The preliminary purchase price amounts to SEK 223 M, which includes an estimated SEK 18 M earn-out payment based on 2016 earnings. The acquisition was included in Humana's accounts as of June 2016.

Humana also acquired 100% of the shares in Arjessa Oy in May 2016. The acquisition means an expansion into the Finnish care market for Humana. Arjessa's revenue for 2015 amounted to SEK 299 M and operating profit before goodwill amortisation was SEK 29 M. The purchase price amounted to SEK 271 M. The acquisition was included in Humana's accounts as of June 2016.

In September 2016 Humana acquired 100% of the shares in Kilen Akut Behandlingshem AB. The acquisition strengthened Humana's specialisation in the Individual & Family business area. Operations are focused on young people with severe behavioural disorders in combination with comprehensive psychosocial problems. Revenues in Kilen Akut Behandlingshem AB amounted to SEK 9 M in 2015.

Humana also acquired 100% of the shares in Fuga omsorg AB in September 2016. The acquisition strengthened Humana's specialisation in the Individual & Family business area. Fuga omsorg AB provides developmentoriented daily activities for individuals who have learning disabilities, autism or Asperger syndrome. Revenues in Fuga omsorg AB amounted to SEK 9 M in 2015.

Humana also acquired 100% of the shares in Platea AB in November 2016. Platea runs individual and family care operations such as residential care homes for younger children (ages 0–12) and their families in Värmland. The acquisition strengthened Humana's specialisation in the Individual & Family business area. Revenues in Platea AB amounted to SEK 39 M annually.

Humana also acquired 100% of the shares in Pienryhmäkoti Puolenhehtaarin Metsä Oy (PPM) in Finland (Other Nordics) in December 2016. PPM provides psychosocial care and treatment for children and young people in Uusimaa in Finland.The acquisition strengthened Humana's specialisation in the Individual & Family business area. PPM's revenues amounted to SEK 16 M in 2016.

If the seven acquisitions had been completed as per 1 January 2016, Humana estimates that consolidated revenue would have totalled SEK 6,723 M (SEK 361 M higher) and operating profit would have been SEK 374 M (SEK 46 M higher) and profit for the year after tax would have been SEK 202 M (SEK 32 M higher).

Goodwill

The goodwill resulting from the acquisitions relates to employee expertise in treatment methods, establishment of market position, the underlying profitability of the acquired units and the synergies expected to arise when the units are integrated with the rest of the Group. No part of the goodwill that arose in 2016 is tax deductible.

Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs amounted to SEK 16 M (4). The costs consist primarily of compensation to consultants and lawyers for financial and legal advice in connection with acquisitions. The costs are recognised as other operating expenses in the income statement.

Receivables acquired

No bad debts were acquired in 2016.

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 7c Intent

Return on capital employed

Indicates the operating return on the capital that owners and lenders have made available. The intent is to show consolidated returns, regardless of the type of financing.

Adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA

Operating profit adjusted for items affecting comparability. The adjustment of items affecting comparability is done to facilitate a fair comparison between two comparable periods and to show the underlying trend in operating activities excluding non-recurring items.

Operating cash flow

Operating profit including changes in depreciation/amortisation/impairment, working capital and investments in other non-current assets (net). Excluding cash flow from acquisitions and financing facilitates an analysis of cash flow generation in operating activities.

Interest-bearing net debt

Net debt is used to easily illustrate and assess the Group's ability to meet financial commitments.

Interest-bearing net debt/EBITDA

Indicates consolidated debt in relation to EBITDA. Used to illustrate the Group's ability to meet financial commitments.

Equity/assets ratio

Indicates the proportion of assets that are financed with equity. The aim is to assess the Group's solvency in the long term.

Working capital

Total current assets minus total current liabilities.
