Comments from the CEO

A public inquiry on the right to personal assistance was presented during the quarter. If its proposals are realised, it would be very good news for individuals with functional disabilities and their families.

Humana had focus on elderly care in the second quarter with several new openings. Financially, the second quarter and the halfyear were very stable and Humana continues to grow organically.

Group operating revenue amounted to SEK 2,058m for the second quarter and SEK 4,044m for the sixmonth period. Organic growth amounted to 3.4 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively. Operating profit improved to SEK 107m for the quarter and SEK 219m for the six-month period, an increase of 7 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Adjusted operating profit increased by 28 percent and 21 percent, respectively. The operating margin was 5.2 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively. Operating cash flow was strong at SEK 251m mainly driven by increased results but also due to lower working capital.

Our leverage is stable at 4.5x adjusted EBITDA, which is in line with our target. After the end of the quarter, we signed a new financing agreement. The terms are better than before and the agreement ensures longterm financing with future flexibility.

New elderly care facilities

Humana's has had focus on elderly care during the quarter. Four new units under own management with in total 260 appartments opened in Norrtälje, Vallentuna, Ängelholm and Falkenberg. We will open another unit in Norrtälje in the third quarter. That will bring Humana's elderly care homes under own management up to a total of ten. The openings have

developed according to plan and we are already at full occupancy in Falkenberg. The opening of the new units has however had a negative effect on the business area's operating profit (SEK -4m) and the Covid-19 pandemic continues to have a negative effect as well. The situation is however greatly improved since most of our customers and employees are now vaccinated against Covid-19.

Incident in the residential care homes business

Within our individual and family operations, the tragedy that occurred at one of our residential care homes within the Platea operations in Värmland at the end of the quarter, where a boy lost his life, overshadowed everything else. The entire organisation was affected by the incident and we take it very seriously. Our focus is and will always be on providing a safe and secure environment for the children in our care homes. In early July, Humana submitted a Lex Sarah report on the event to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO). Humana decided to close Platea's residential care homes Prästgården and Södra villan immediately and to further develop and tighten monitoring of the Group's systematic quality control.

There are currently 180 units the Individual & Family business area and an agreement was signed during the quarter to acquire the individual and family company Balans Behandling AB. However, transfer of operations will not occur until the fourth quarter of 2021. Balans Behandling's operations are based in northern Sweden with its head office in Luleå. Full year revenue amounts to approximately SEK 60m and the company has about 20 employees.

Humana's Swedish assistance operations continue on their stable path. A public inquiry on the right to personal assistance was presented during the quarter. The report looked at the possibility of supporting the right to personal assistance for selfcare and help with supervision. It also looked at parental responsibility when determining a child's right to personal assistance. If the proposals are realised, it would be positive news for individuals with functional disabilities and their families. It will be circulated for comment until October and Humana is one of the consultative bodies.

Organic growth in Finland

Improvement efforts continue in Finland. Despite the continued effects of the pandemic, occupancy increased so that the business area could once again show organic growth and better profitability in the second quarter.

Norway continues to perform well, with organic growth mainly driven by new assistance customers.

Finally, and as previously communicated, I have decided to leave Humana for a new challenge. I have accepted to become President and CEO of Apoteket AB. Humana is a fantastic company, where the employees have a unique commitment, an enormous pride and a deep knowledge. The day I leave I will miss all my colleagues as well as Humana's strong operations enormously.

1) Operating revenue and operating profit for the second quarter of 2020 include capital gain on sale of properties of SEK 17m.

Group development

Revenue

Operating revenue amounted to SEK 2,058m (1,980) in the second quarter, an increase of 4.0 percent. Organic growth was 3.4 percent (3.4) for the quarter.

Acquired operations accounted for SEK 40m of revenue in the second quarter. Operations under own management accounted for 95 percent of total revenue and contracted operations accounted for 5 percent. Capital gain from the sale of properties increased revenue by SEK 17m in the second quarter of 2020.

The Covid-19 pandemic continued to have a somewhat negative impact on revenue largely due to lower occupancy in elderly care in Sweden and Finland.

Operating revenue for the six-month period amounted to SEK 4,044m (3,918), an increase of 3.2 percent. Organic growth was 2.9 percent (4.2). Acquired operations accounted for SEK 69m of revenue. Operations under own management accounted for 95 percent of total revenue and contracted operations accounted for 5 percent.

Profit

Operating profit for the second quarter totalled SEK 107m (100), an increase of 6.6 percent. Capital gain on sale of properties of SEK 17m is included in the comparison period. Adjusted operating profit was SEK 107m (83), an increase of 28.4 percent. The operating margin was 5.2 percent (5.1). The improved results for the second quarter come from all business areas except for Elderly Care, which had starting up costs for the four new units under own management.

Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 219m (198), an increase of 10.6 percent, and the operating margin amounted to 5.4 percent (5.1). Capital gain on sale of properties of SEK 17m is included in the comparison period. Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 219m (181), an increase of 21.0 percent.

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the Group in several ways. Lower occupancy had a somewhat negative effect on revenue while a high number of sickness absences and PPE increased costs. All in all, the financial effects on the Group for the second quarter and six-month period are not material.

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

Operating cash flow and interest-bearing net debt

Operating cash flow in the second quarter amounted to SEK 251m (221). The increase is mainly attributable to improved profit and decreased working capital.

Humana's interest-bearing net debt increased by SEK 318m to SEK 3,909m (3,591). Net debt increased mainly due to investments in new elderly care homes and reduced cash. The leverage ratio, measured as interest-bearing net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA, is 4.5x (4.6).

In order to improve the capital structure, Humana repurchased shares of SEK 159m in the first quarter of 2021. As of 30 June 2021, the holding of treasury shares amounts to 9.4 percent of the total number of outstanding shares

corresponding to SEK 313m at cost. The repurchased shares have reduced cash and equity, which increases the company's interest-bearing net debt. In the future, the company's holding of treasury shares may ultimately be used as payment for or to finance acquisitions of companies and/or other assets. They may also be cancelled.

Performance by business area

Individual & Family

Revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 578m (532), an increase of 8.6 percent compared to the corresponding period last year. Organic growth was 4.2 percent (-0.7). Revenue for the six-month period increased by 7.5 percent to SEK 1,130m (1,051). Organic growth for the six-month period was 3.9 percent (0.3). Revenue growth was driven by acquisitions, stable occupancy in several segments and new units.

Operating profit in the second quarter totalled SEK 50m (49), an increase of 2.4 percent compared to last year. Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 91m (83), an increase of 10.2 percent. The operating margin for the quarter was 8.7 percent (9.3) and for the six-month period was 8.1 percent (7.9). The operating profit in the quarter is affected by costs for terminated operations of SEK 8.9 million. Operating margin for the quarter and for the sixmonth period excluding these costs were 10.2 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively. Stable occupancy and contributions from acquired companies have helped increase profit in both the second quarter and six-month period.

Personal Assistance

Revenue increased by 3.1 percent to SEK 756m (733) in the second quarter. Organic growth was 1.1 percent (5.4). Revenue for the six-month period was SEK 1,507m (1,452), an increase of 3.8 percent, of which 1.8 percent (4.2) was organic. Other than acquired operations, the revenue increase is mainly due to a higher attendance allowance, partly offset by fewer assistance hours.

Operating profit for the quarter totalled SEK 35m (29), an increase of 22.0 percent. Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 85m (70), an increase of 21.5 percent. The operating margin was 4.7 percent (4.0) for the second quarter and 5.6 percent (4.8) for the six-month period. Operating profit and operating margin in the quarter and six-month period increased due to more efficient cost management, positive contributions from acquired

companies, and higher attendance allowances and lower social security contributions for adolescents.

Elderly Care

Revenue amounted to SEK 155m (155) in the second quarter. Organic growth was 0.4 percent (9.0). Revenue for the six-month period was SEK 306m (301), an increase of 1.7 percent. Organic growth for the six-month period was 1.7 percent (9.0).

Operating profit in the second quarter amounted to SEK -4m (1). Operating profit for the six-month period amounted to SEK 2m (1). The operating margin was -2.4 percent (0.7) for the second quarter and 0.5 percent (0.2) for the sixmonth period. Profit for the second quarter continued to be affected by the pandemic in the form of lower occupancy and costs for starting up the new elderly care homes under own management. Improved results for previously started units made a positive contribution to the six-month period.

Operating revenue and operating margin

Finland

Revenue amounted to SEK 325m (338) in the second quarter, a decrease of 3.9 percent. Organic growth was 1.0 percent (0.0). Revenue for the six-month period amounted to SEK 641m (688), a decrease of 6.8 percent, and organic growth was -1.9 percent (9.1). The organic growth in the second quarter is due to increased occupancy. The negative organic growth for the six-month period is mostly due to the closing of a number of units that was only partly compensated for by new units and increased occupancy.

Operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 16m (11), a year-onyear increase of 41.6 percent. Operating profit for the six-month period amounted to SEK 27m (27). The operating margin was 4.8 percent (3.2) for the quarter and 4.2 percent (4.0) for the six-month period. The improved results for the quarter and six-month period are mainly due to increased occupancy and better operational efficiency.

Percentage of Group revenue Q2 2021

Norway

Revenue increased by 19.6 percent to SEK 240m (201) in the second quarter. Revenue for the six-month period was SEK 450m (395), an increase of 14.0 percent. Organically, revenue increased by 15.7 percent (9.5) in the quarter and by 13.6 percent (7.0) in the six-month period. The revenue increase and organic growth are mainly due to an increase in customers in personal assistance and the care home segment.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 22m (16), a year-on-year increase of 39.3 percent. The operating margin for the quarter was 9.3 percent (7.9). Operating profit for the six-month period totalled SEK 39m (29), an increase of 34.0 percent. The operating margin for the half-year period amounted to 8.6 percent (7.3). Operating profit and operating margin for the quarter and six-month period rose due to an increased number of customers and more efficient operation.

Financial position

Financing

The Group's equity amounted to SEK 2,327m (2,370) on 30 June 2021. The equity/assets ratio was 27.3 percent (28.2). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 3,909m (3,591), a year-on-year increase of SEK 318m. The leverage ratio, measured as interest-bearing net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA, decreased to 4.5x (4.6). Debt increased due to investments in new elderly care homes and buy-back of own shares but was more than compensated for by higher profit.

Cash flow

Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 133m (185), where net cash flow from operating activities was SEK 249m (181). The higher cash flow from operating activities is mainly due to improved profit.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -40m (48) for the quarter. The cash flow from investing activities for the period is explained by investments attributable to new elderly care homes, while the previous year was affected by property sales.

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -77m (-44). The change is due to an increase in repayment of lease liabilities and positive cash flow from loans raised last year.

Financial targets

Profitability

An operating margin of 7 percent over the medium term.

Revenue growth

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

Capital structure

Interest-bearing net debt not exceeding 4.5 times EBITDA, i.e. operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and impairment (see 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 percent of net profit for the year. The proposed dividend shall consider Humana's long-term development potential and financial position.

Sustainability

Quality report, second quarter, April-June 2021

Humana Quality Model and quality at Humana

Quality must be measured and monitored. Measuring and following up helps to develop our operations and to always keep high quality in focus. To measure quality within the Group and be able to compare various operations and see changes over time, Humana has developed the Humana Quality Model (HQM). The model is built on two parallel approaches: seven quantitative indicators that are weighed together to form the Humana Quality Index (HQI) along with qualitative and quantitative following up of customers'/clients' individual plans (implementation plan) and the personal goals that guide them. Both perspectives are equally important in creating an overall assessment of quality. Follow-ups are done quarterly and the quality reports published on Humana's website.

Humana Quality Index

The Humana Quality Index is at the same high level as in the first quarter in 2021: 94/100. Humana's customer satisfaction index (CSI) for the Group has reached our long-term target of 85 percent. Personal assistance customers are even more satisfied, with a CSI of 90 percent.

Most of our customers, clients and employees have received a Covid-19 vaccine. Since the virus continues to circulate, we continue to work according to the procedures in place that are intended to minimise the spread of the virus in health and care operations.

Serious deviations

During the second quarter, eight Lex Sarah incidents were reported to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) that pertained to Humana's Swedish operations. Two critical deviations were reported in the Norway business area.

One of the reported deviations concerns the tragedy that occurred in our Platea subsidiary's residential care home in Värmland on 15 June, when a boy left the home and was later found deceased. Humana initiated a Lex Sarah investigation immediately. Humana submitted the Lex Sarah report about the incident to IVO on 6 July. Humana decided to close Platea's residential care homes Prästgården and Södra villan immediately and to further develop and tighten monitoring of the Group's systematic quality control.

Follow-up of individual plans

The number of individual plans that were followed up as scheduled was 90/100 in the second quarter 2021, which is somewhat higher than in the first quarter 2021 and full year 2020.

We can see improvements in all business areas regarding implementation plans for our customers/clients. In Norway, we have nearly achieved our long-term target of 100 percent of our customers having an updated implementation plan. In Individual & Family, it has increased to 97 percent. In Personal Assistance the number of implementation plans is 78 percent. That is an improvement but there is still a way to go before reaching the target.

Quality is one of the four target areas that form the basis for Humana's sustainable care strategy. Other target areas are attractive employer, profitable growth and socially responsible provider. Read more about Humana's sustainable strategy on our website at

Humana did not participate in the offer and it will not give rise to any costs for Humana. A total of 461,000 synthetic options were acquired. The total market value of the options on the transaction date is estimated at 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 related parties consist of the Board of Directors, Group management and the CEO, through ownership of the company and through their roles as senior executives. Related party transactions are based on market conditions.

Risks and uncertainties

In the course of its operations, Humana is exposed to different types of financial risks, which can be divided into liquidity and funding risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and currency risk. Risks are described in more detail in the section in Humana's 2020 annual and sustainability report entitled Risks and risk management on pages 64–71 as well as in Note G20.

The main risks related to operations and uncertainties that can affect the company's 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 regional

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 company'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.

Communicable diseases exist in society. These infections can affect anyone in society but the situation is most difficult for vulnerable persons. Humana's operations include customers and clients in vulnerable groups and there are guidelines and procedures in the company's management system on how to prevent and manage various communicable diseases. Communicable diseases may also lead to several employees getting sick at the same time, which entails a risk of not having enough qualified staff to meet needs. A pandemic also entails a risk of a negative impact on Humana's revenues and costs, for example, due to lower occupancy or costs for sickness absences and PPE. Humana's operations are affected by the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic. A crisis management structure has been supporting the work of minimising transmission and impact since the pandemic began.

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

The Board of Directors and the 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.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

This interim report 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 2020, 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 2021

Humana has made the assessment 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 interim financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make accounting estimates and assumptions that 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 and assessments. The critical assessments and sources of uncertainty in estimates are the same as in the most recent annual report.

Humana's acquisition in the first quarter of 2021 increased Group revenue by SEK 25m and operating profit by SEK 2m in the second quarter 2021. If the acquisition had been made on 1 January 2021, Group revenue would have been SEK 4,051m (SEK 7m higher) and profit would have been SEK 119.5m (SEK 0,5m lower) for the six-month period.

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 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: inputs that are not observable in the market

Hedge accounting

The Group is hedging parts of the foreign exchange risk related to net investments in foreign operations. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had exposure to EUR, NOK and DKK. DKK makes up a small amount and is not hedged. NOK and EUR are hedged using loans in foreign currency. Hedge accounting entails recognising the effective part of the translation differences in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had loans of EUR 40m and loans of NOK 328m for which hedge accounting is applied. The related translation difference of SEK -16m (30) before tax is consequently recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Reconciliation of financial statements with IFRS

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. Alternative performance measures derive from the company's consolidated accounts and are not measured in accordance with IFRS.
