From action programme to focus on growth

"It is satisfying to see that the action programme is having positive effects also in Norway and that the business is now contributing to growth in the Other Nordics segment. Our main focus is now on gearing up for growth through organic start-ups, new quality-procured contracts and acquisitions."

I can see that our reorganisation and streamlining efforts are now resulting in continued improvements, even in Norway. In addition to lower costs and increased revenue, these efforts have also resulted in improved

control and follow-up, which is important for our continued development. We are clearly on the right track with our operations in Norway. In addition, we have a stable and growing operation in Finland with good treatment results which altogether gives a significantly improved development in Other Nordics.

At the political level, the Swedish Riksdag rejected the proposed profit constraints as expected, while the planned June vote in Finland on its health and social services reform (SOTE) was postponed, which means that implementation will be delayed. In Norway, the political debate on the future structure of care and treatment for children and adolescents has intensified.

Individual & Family continues to see positive effects from the action programme implemented last year. This is in comparison to our high capacity utilisation in Q2 last year, and although our efficiency has increased considerably, we can see a need to increase our efforts to grow revenues. To strengthen capacity utilisation, we have increased sales and marketing activities, while at the same time we are providing training in areas of the business that require increased specialisation. In parallel with these initiatives, work is progressing on organic expansion of LSS housing and residential care homes.

The number of individuals entitled to personal assistance in Sweden continued to decline, albeit at a lower rate during the second quarter. In the first half of the year, the decrease in number of hours was 0.9%, which means that the market in terms of number of hours, has decreased by 8.4% since its highest level 2015. However, Humana continued to take market shares during the quarter and the first half of the year and sees the opportunity to take a more active role in the ongoing market consolidation. The fact that staff cost increase continue to exceed the increase in reimbursement means that in the long run we estimate that it will be difficult to fully compensate for the cost increases.

We continue according to plan to improve profitability in the Elderly Care business area at the same time as strong growth continues. Capacity utilisation in the units under own management continued to improve in the quarter and we look forward with confidence to the establishment of units under own management in Staffanstorp and Kungsängen. We are pleased to note that Humana has won several strategic quality procurements in the Stockholm area, most recently Sjöstadsgården in Stockholm's Hammarby Sjöstad. Clearly, concentrating operations on elderly housing under own management and quality-procured contracts creates opportunities for Humana to run a qualitative and efficient business with improved profitability.

To summarise the quarter, I can say that we continue to improve the efficiency in operations, thus providing a basis for increased growth. It is also satisfying to see that our cash flow has developed well during the period and that we continue to reduce our debt, which means that we are approaching our leverage target. We are clearly on the right track.

Group performance

Revenue

Operating revenue in the second quarter increased by 1% compared to the same quarter last year and amounted to SEK 1,696 M (1,678). Adjusted for the sold home care service business, growth was 5% in the quarter. Organic revenue growth was 3.4%. The lower growth compared to the Company's target is explained by lower acquisition activity, contracts that have gone back to municipal management and lower demand in parts of Individual & Family. Operations under own management accounted for 95% of revenues. Acquired operations, that is, companies that were not owned throughout the previous comparative period, contributed SEK 19 M to revenues in the quarter.

Operating revenue for the January-June period also increased by 1% to SEK 3,344 M (3,326). Adjusted for the sold home care service business, growth was 5% for the period. Acquired companies contributed SEK 39 M to operating revenue. Organically, that is, excluding acquisitions, revenue increased by 2.6%.

Profit

Operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 78 M (SEK 74 M incl. SEK 15 M in capital gain from sale and leaseback), corresponding to an operating margin of 4.6% (4.4). The result includes effects of final settlement of contingent considerations amounting to SEK 4 M net (SEK 9 M in operating income and SEK 5 M in other operating expenses). Adjusted for the property sale last year, adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 78 M (60), corresponding to an increase of SEK 18 M or 31%. Earnings for the quarter were positively affected by the improvement programme in the Norwegian operations, which has continued to lower costs, and improved efficiency in the quarter, while revenues have increased. The Elderly Care business area, which went from loss to profit in the quarter, also improved profits. The profit development in Personal Assistance due to fewer customers and the fact that the personnel cost increase exceeded the increase in the state reimbursement level was negative. The Individual & Family business area has lowered the underlying costs but continues its weaker revenue development due to lower demand in some areas of the business.

Operating profit for the six-month period amounted to SEK 159 M (140 including SEK 15 M in capital gain from sale of real estate). Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 159 M (125), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 4.8% (3.8). Operating profit for the six-month period increased by SEK 19 M, although profitability in Personal Assistance decreased. The improvement in profits for the six-month period is due to positive effects from improvement programmes implemented in Individual & Family and in the Norwegian operations as well as to the fact that Elderly Care has gone from losses to breaking even. The weaker development in Personal Assistance is due to slightly fewer customers and the fact that the personnel cost increase exceeds the increase in the state reimbursement level.

Business area performance

Individual & Family

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 555 M (569), 2% below the same quarter last year. Revenue for the half year period decreased by 1% to SEK 1,106 M (1,123). Organic revenue decreased by 2.4% for the quarter and 1,4% for the six-month period. The decrease in revenue in the quarter and for the six-month period is mainly attributable to lower demand in parts of the business area.

Operating profit for the quarter was unchanged compared with last year and was SEK 40 M (40), corresponding to an operating margin of 7.1% (7.1). Operating profit for the six-month period was SEK 87 M (77). The increase is mainly due to lower costs resulting from the efficiency programme.

Personal Assistance

Revenue increased by 1% in the quarter to SEK 659 M (652) and by 1% for the six-month period to SEK 1,312 M (1,301). The increase in the state reimbursement level of 1.5% has contributed to revenues. The number of customers continued to decline slightly in the quarter and for the six-month period while the number of assistance hours provided increased slightly.

Operating profit for the quarter decreased by 13% to SEK 25 M (29), corresponding to an operating margin of 3.8% (4.4) for the quarter. For the six-month period the operating profit decreased to SEK 60 M (65). The decrease in profit for the quarter and the half year period is attributable to slightly fewer customers and to the fact that the personnel cost increase exceeds the increase in the state reimbursement level. As at 1 April 2018, the government approved a temporary amendment to the law entailing that two-year reviews be stopped for persons who have been granted personal assistance ("Emergency Stop"). The stop has contributed to a somewhat stabilising market during the quarter. After the end of the quarter, Humana acquired Västgöta Assistans with around 10 customers and approximately SEK 20 M in annual turnover.

Elderly Care

Revenues in Elderly Care amounted to SEK 108 M (148, of which home care service 68) in the second quarter, a decrease of 27%. Adjusting for the home care service operation, revenues increased by 35%. For the six-month period revenues amounted to SEK 217 M (302, of which home care service 135). Adjusted for the home care service operation, revenue increased by 30%. Organic revenue increased by 35.3% for the quarter and by 29.9% for the six-month period. Capacity utilisation in the elderly housing under our own management that opened in Åkersberga and Växjö in 2017 has improved.

Operating profit in the second quarter was SEK 1 M (-6). Operating profit for the six-month period was SEK 0 M (-8). Costs for newly started operations had an impact on profit of SEK 2 M during the quarter and SEK 5 M for the six-month period. Two additional elderly housing units under our own management will open in 2019 in Staffanstorp and Kungsängen. In April, Humana won another quality procurement for an elderly housing contract in the Stockholm area that entails operation of Sjöstadsgården with 59 residents in Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm. Humana will take over in the autumn of 2018. Humana previously announced the takeover of Åsengården with 29 residents in Hägersten outside Stockholm, which will be started up in the autumn of 2018, and Riddargården with 45 apartments at Odenplan in Stockholm.

Other Nordics

Revenues in Other Nordics amounted to SEK 362 M (294) in the second quarter, an increase of 23%. For the sixmonth period, revenues were SEK 698 M (587), an increase of 19%. Organic revenue growth was 11.4% in the quarter and 6.5% for the six-month period. Efforts to improve efficiency and capacity utilisation rates in the Norwegian operations developed well in the quarter. The Finnish operations show continued strong growth due to good organic growth and contributions from completed acquisitions. Acquisitions contributed SEK 19 M to revenue in the quarter and SEK 39 M for the six-month period.

Operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 28 M (16), corresponding to a 77% improvement in profit. For the six-month period, operating profit increased by SEK 17 M to SEK 46 M (29). The operating margin was 7.8% (5.4) for the quarter and 6.6% (4.9) for the six-month period. The improvement in profit is explained by improved efficiency and revenue growth in Norway and continued high demand and good capacity utilisation in Finland.

Financial position Financing

At the end of June 2018, group equity amounted to SEK 1,994 M (1,785), equivalent to an equity/assets ratio of 38.8% (35.6). At the end of December 2017, group equity amounted to SEK 1,891 M, an equity/assets ratio of 37.4%. Humana's interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 1,417 M (1,561), a decrease of 9% compared to the same period last year. Humana's interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA improved and was 3.4 times (3.8), which also was an improvement compared with the end of December 2017. The level is still slightly above the company's net debt target.

Settlement of earn-out payments related to acquisitions from previous years had an impact on the period of SEK -15 M (-6). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -139 M (-75).

Notes Note 1 Accounting policies

This 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 report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act – Interim Reports. For the Group, in general the same accounting policies and bases of calculation have been used as in the annual report for 2017, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as ratified by the EU, and interpretations of these. The changes made to the Group's accounting policies are set out below.

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.

All amounts in this report are stated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEK M) unless otherwise stated. Rounding differences may occur.

Classification of assistance allowance

From 1 January 2018, Humana has reclassified receivables from Försäkringskassan related to assistance allowances from Other current receivables to Trade and other receivables. The change was made retroactively.

Hedge accounting

As of 1 January 2018, the Group applies hedge accounting to hedging of net investments in foreign operations. The Group thus applies hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9.

Humana hedges net investments in EUR and NOK through loans in these currencies. Exchange differences for the period on currency loans less tax effects are recognised, insofar as hedging is effective, in other comprehensive income with accumulated exchange differences and fair value changes in a specific component of equity (translation reserve). This partially neutralises the translation differences that arise from foreign operations.

New accounting standards applied from 1 January 2018

Humana applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018. The transition has not had any effect on the income statement or balance sheet. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 deals with the classification, valuation and dissolution of recognised financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new model for impairment of trade receivables. The new standard entails increased disclosure requirements and changes in presentation (Notes 6a, 6c).

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when control over the service is transferred to the customer. Humana's obligation to its care users is to provide personal care at scheduled times. Performance of the care obligation is then invoiced monthly. Humana's assessment is that the period allocation of revenue is not affected by the new standard.

New accounting standards not yet applicable

IFRS 16 Leasing will replace IAS 17 Leasing and apply as of 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted if IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is also adopted. The standard requires that the leases recognise all leases except for those shorter than 12 months or where the lease item is of low value in the balance sheet. It also means that lease payments that are now recognised as other external expenses are replaced by a cost of depreciation on leased assets and an interest expense attributable to lease liability in the income statement.

Note 2 Estimations and assessments

Preparation of financial statements 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. The critical assessments and sources of uncertainty in estimates are the same as in the most recent annual report.

Acquisitions in 2018

During the first half of the year, Humana made a minor acquisition in Finland. The acquisition helped Humana strengthen its operations in psychosocial change management for children and adolescents in Pori in western Finland. After the end of the quarter, Humana acquired Västgöta Assistans, a small personal assistance business.

  • Luotsimaja Oy (Other Nordics) in June 2018
  • Västgöta Assistans (Personal Assistance) in July 2018

Acquisitions in 2017

Humana completed three acquisitions in 2017. The acquisitions helped strengthen Humana's operations in Finland and expanded its activities in individual and family care in northern Sweden.

  • Skellefteå Stöd & Behandling AB (Individual & Family) January 2017
  • Nordic Senior Services Oy (Finland) August 2017
  • Ryhmäkoti Raide Oy (Finland) October 2017

quotations. Similar contracts are traded in an active market, and the rates reflect actual transactions for comparable instruments.

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 of 30 June 2018, the Group had exposure in EUR and NOK, which is hedged with loans in foreign currencies. Starting 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. In the comparison period, translation differences are recognised as financial income and expense. During the period 1 January to 30 June 2018, the Group had loans of EUR 25 M and loans of NOK 200 M for which hedge accounting is applied. The related translation difference of negative SEK 34 M before tax is consequently recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Note 7 Incentive programmes

As of 30 June 2018, Humana has two long-term incentive programmes that have been approved by the AGMs in 2016 and 2017. The warrant programme is directed at the Company's eight senior executives and the share savings programme is directed at key employees at Humana. The purpose of the programmes are 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 subscription price for Series 2 is SEK 77.50 and for Series 3 is SEK 80.60.

For the share savings programme, participants could invest in saving shares (at market price) and then, based on the terms of the programme, can receive matching shares and potentially even performancebased shares at the end of the programme. The number of registered saving shares at 30 June 2018 amounts to 65,000, which corresponds to a maximum allocation of 89,000 shares.
