Positive developments in the Group driven by Individual & Family and Other Nordics

"The action programmes implemented in Individual & Family and Norway are showing results and we see increased demand for the units that were reorganised last year. Efficiency measures and structured change efforts help increase profits for the quarter."

I'm pleased to present a first quarter that clearly shows our actions are having the desired effect and that the business is on the right track. We can see the effects of the significant restructuring and efficiency program in

Individual & Family last year, and the positive trend we saw in the fourth quarter with stabilisation of revenue and profits improvements has continued into the first quarter. We are entering 2018 significantly stronger than 2017. We are now turning our focus to investing in future growth.

Developments in Other Nordics are also positive, and we see clear improvements. The action programme in Norway has resulted in lower costs while we are also experiencing slightly improved demand in the market. Even though we still have more work to do to return to satisfactory profitability and capacity utilisation in Norway, developments in the first quarter indicate that we are on track. Operations in Finland continue to develop well, both in terms of quality, growth and profitability, driven by high capacity utilisation and good treatment results. Humana continues its expansion by investing in several new establishments in Finland. Political work on the sote-reform in Finland is continuing and a voting in the parliament is expected in June.

During the quarter, Humana continued to take market share in a declining personal assistance market in Sweden. The challenging market situation means that we are seeing increased acquisition

activity and that more companies are now going bankrupt. Overall, however, the market climate was more positive at the beginning of the year due to a temporary suspension of two-year reviews and a guiding judicial decision in the Supreme Administrative Court stipulating that tube-feeding should be included in basic needs, which entitles more individuals to personal assistance.

Finally, we also see that developments in the Elderly Care business area are moving in the right direction. The trend for the growth initiatives we took last year by establishing elderly housing units in Växjö and Åkersberga has been good with a gradual increase in capacity utilisation during the quarter, leading to increased revenues. Concentrating operations on elderly housing under our own management and quality-procured contracts focused the organisation while also leading to better cost-efficiency. In 2018, the focus will be on increasing profitability in the business area and preparing for the establishment of two new elderly housing units under our own management in 2019.

To summarise the quarter, we can see that we have a some work left before we reach satisfactory growth and profitability in some of our operations. However, we see positive organic growth in the first quarter and will further increase our focus on growth, both organically through the start-up of new units and through acquisitions.

Stockholm, 16 May 2018

Group performance Revenue

Operating revenue in the first quarter was unchanged compared to the same quarter last year and amounted to SEK 1,648 M (1,649), which is below Humana's objective of an annual growth of 8-10%. Adjusted for the sold home care service business, growth was 4.2% for the quarter. Organic revenue growth was 2.3%. The lower growth compared to the Company's target is explained by lower acquisition activity and continued lower capacity utilisation than before in parts of Individual & Family and Norway. Operations under our own management accounted for 94% of revenues. Acquired operations, that is, companies that were not owned throughout the previous comparative period, contributed SEK 20 M to revenues in the quarter.

Profit

Operating profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK 81 M (66), an increase of SEK 15 M or 24%, corresponding to an operating margin of 4.9% (4.0). The efficiency programmes implemented in parts of Individual & Family and in the Norwegian operations have gone well, helping to lower costs and increase efficiency in the quarter. Profit was affected by somewhat lower capacity utilisation in parts of Individual & Family and in Norway and costs for restructuring of units in Norway. Profit after tax for the period increased by SEK 5 M to SEK 45 M (40) compared to the corresponding period last year.

Events

First quarter 2018

  • The Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services (SBU) presents a report on the Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO) method in family homes and at residential care homes that shows very good treatment results and cost savings for society. Humana holds a license for the method in the Nordic countries.
  • Humana wins the quality procurement for contracted elderly housing at Riddargården in Stockholm, which can accommodate 45 residents.
  • Humana's Board proposes that the 2018 AGM approve a dividend of SEK 0.60 per share for 2017.
  • The government continues to propose a cap on profits in the welfare sector. The proposal referred to the Council on Legislation for consideration, which currently has no majority in the parliament, aims to limit profits to 7% of operating capital. The proposal will be up for a vote in the Parliament on 7 June.
  • Andreas Westlund is appointed as new business area manager for Personal Assistance.

Events after the end of the quarter

• No significant events occurred after the end of the quarter.

Business area performance Individual & Family

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 551 M (553), which is in-line with last year. Organic revenue decreased by 0.4% for the quarter. The decrease in revenue compared to last year is mainly attributable to a continued slightly lower capacity utilisation than before in the children and youths operating area.

Operating profit for the quarter improved by 29% to SEK 48 M (37), corresponding to an operating margin of 8.7% (6.7) for the quarter. The increase is mainly due to lower costs resulting from implemented efficiency program.

Personal Assistance

Revenue increased by 1% in the quarter to SEK 653 M (648). 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 while the number of assistance hours provided increased slightly. Due to Försäkringskassan's restrictive application of current regulations, the market for personal assistance continued to decline by just over 1% in the first quarter, which meant an increase in Humana's market share.

Operating profit for the quarter decreased by 4% to SEK 35 M (36), corresponding to an operating margin of 5.3% (5.6) for the quarter. Personnel cost increases that exceeded the state reimbursement level increase had a negative impact on profit.

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 is expected to help stabilise the market somewhat. A verdict from the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden in April 2018

stated that tube-feeding is included in basic needs, thus giving clients the right to personal assistance. This verdict is also expected to help stabilise the market.

Elderly Care

Revenues in Elderly Care amounted to SEK 108 M (154, of which Home Care Service 67) in the first quarter, a decrease of 30%. However, organic revenue increased by 24.9% for the quarter. Capacity utilisation in the elderly homes under own management that opened in Åkersberga and Växjö in 2017 developed as expected during the quarter.

Operating profit was SEK -1 M (-2) for the quarter. Costs for newly started operations impacted profit by SEK 4 M during the quarter. Two additional elderly housing units under our own management in Staffanstorp and Kungsängen has been decided and will open in 2019.

Other Nordics

Revenues in Other Nordics amounted to SEK 336 M (293) in the first quarter, an increase of 15%. Organic revenue growth was 4.2%. Efforts to improve efficiency and capacity utilisation rates in the Norwegian operations continue, contributing to both revenues and profit in the quarter. The Finnish operations show strong growth due to good organic developments and contributions from completed acquisitions. Acquisitions contributed SEK 20 M to revenue in the quarter.

Operating profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK 18 M (13), corresponding to a 40% improvement in profit. The operating margin for the quarter was 5.3% (4.4). The improvement in profit is explained by the high demand and good occupancy in Finland.

Financial position Financing

At the end of March 2018, group equity amounted to SEK 1,966 M (1,764), equivalent to an equity/assets ratio of 38.3% (35.5). 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 1,496 M (1,685), a decrease of 11% compared to the same period last year. Humana's interest-bearing net debt in relation to EBITDA declined and was 3.8 times (4.1), which was unchanged compared with the end of December 2017. The level is above the company's net debt target and the goal is for interest-bearing net debt to not exceed 3.0 times EBITDA over time.

Cash flow and capital expenditures

(-39). Acquisitions had no effect on cash flow during the quarter (-16). Settlement of earn-out payments related to acquisitions from previous years had no effect during the quarter (-6). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -51 M (-49). Cash flow for the period improved somewhat to SEK -95 M (-108).

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 lessee 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 costs 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.

* Fair value is based on the brokers' quotations at Nordea AB (publ). 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 March 31, 2018, the group had exposure in EUR and NOK, which is hedged with loans in foreign currencies. Starting from January 1, 2018, hedge accounting is applied and thus the effective part of the translation differences is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. In the comparison period translation differences are recognized as financial revenue and costs. During the period January 1, 2018 to March 31, 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 23.4 M before tax is consequently recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Note 7 Incentive programmes

As of 31 March 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 program, 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 performance-based shares at the end of the programme. The number of registered saving shares at 31 March 2018 amounts to 64,000, which corresponds to a maximum allocation of 89,000 shares.
