CEO STATEMENT

We are continuing to follow our road map and are delivering according to plan. We are delivering strong organic growth and have much more than offset the loss of Covid-19 revenue and as we now move forward, Covid-19 will be absent in our comparative numbers.

Revenue for the quarter continued to grow strongly and was up 19.5% to €440.5m (€368.6m), with an organic growth of 14.9%. This is particularly noteworthy, as we have not only replaced prior year Covid-19 testing revenue, but also additionally replaced all revenue from the disposed business in Belarus.

After now 6 quarters of reducing profits compared with the prior year quarter, following the unwinding of Covid-19 related contribution, it is pleasing to see, as expected, that we are now back to increasing the main profit measures versus the prior year comparative quarters.

EBITDA was €64.8m (€48.8m), an increase by 32.6%, representing an EBITDA margin of 14.7% (13.3%).

Fee-For-Service and other services (FFS) increased by 17.4% in the quarter, now representing 57% of total revenue.

Healthcare Services revenue grew very strongly by 32.2% to €304.7m (€230.5m), with an organic growth of 21.9%. Members grew to 1.7 million with 13 thousand new members over the quarter, the growth rate has slowed down partly due to a slightly slower employment market and also our focus on price growth. FFS was 54% of divisional revenue.

EBITDA grew by an impressive 44.2% to €46.6m (€32.3m), an EBITDA margin of 15.3% (14.0%). This despite new units and the hospital in Bucharest impacting profitability negatively. Margin in Medicover Hospitals India has improved by just short of 100 basis points versus the prior year quarter and is for the quarter accretive to divisional EBITDA margin, however not for the year-to-date period.

Diagnostic Services revenue amounted to €140.9m (€142.7m), a decrease by 1.2%, with an organic growth of 3.5%. While the reported revenue is a slight reduction, organic growth excluding Covid-19 related revenue was up a very healthy 14.7%. 29.4 million tests were performed in the quarter (29.0 million). FFS was 67% of divisional revenue.

EBITDA amounted to €20.9m (€22.6m), a decrease of 7.7%, an EBITDA margin of 14.8% (15.9%). Underlying EBITDA demonstrated strong organic development, but not yet completely replacing the higher Covid-19 contribution.

The recent parliamentary election in Poland saw the highest ever voter turnout since the fall of communism in 1989, very well illustrating the importance of the outcome for the future direction of Poland.

We continue our path towards reaching the new medium-term financial targets for the period 2023-2025, that were communicated earlier this year. As these strong figures demonstrate we are well on our way to achieve them. By year-end 2025:

  • organic revenue should exceed €2.2bn
  • An adjusted organic EBITDA in excess of €350m
  • Loans payable net of cash and liquid short-term investments/adjusted EBITDAaL ≤3.5x

Fredrik Rågmark CEO

REVENUE THIRD QUARTER 2023

Consolidated revenue amounted to €440.5m (€368.6m), up 19.5% with an organic growth of 14.9%.

Organic revenue growth was strong, which is very noticeable for Healthcare Services, where there was no comparative Covid-19 revenue. Diagnostic Services has replaced nearly all comparative Covid-19 services and revenue from the disposed Belarus business with organic revenue growth despite the negative foreign exchange impact. Organic growth excluding Covid-19 revenue amounted to an impressive 19.5%.

Inflation has and is moderating, however still at high levels, with a reduction in headline inflation to 8.2% annualised for Poland in September 2023, down from the 18.4% peak in February 2023. The Polish National Bank has started its easing cycle, with rates 1% lower than the peak. Core inflation (net of food and energy prices) also reduced to 8.4% for September 2023 showing the disinflation path. Although Poland and Romania remain at full employment, economic activity has subdued and investments have reduced in some sectors particularly in Poland. Price indexations applied at the end of 2022 and throughout the nine months contributed to revenue growth and compensated for cost increases. Salaries in the healthcare sector (including minimum salaries) are still increasing in general, hence continuing indexation to compensate for inflation is expected.

Acquired revenue amounted to €21.2m, mainly in sport and dental.

Foreign exchange fluctuations had a slight positive impact of 0.3% with weakness mainly for the Ukrainian hryvna and Indian rupee offset by the strengthening of the Polish zloty. The zloty weakened during September, however after the Polish election result in October, the zloty regained strength.

Healthcare Services revenue reached €304.7m (€230.5m), up 32.2% with an impressive organic growth of 21.9%, and with price representing approximately 11.5pp of this growth.

Member growth increased by 5.6% to 1,741K (1,648K), with 13K new members added in the quarter. The growth rate has decelerated due to a slower employment market as corporates focus on higher productivity.

FFS activities have performed well with good demand levels. In Poland, the number of dental chairs amounted to 479 (+2 since Q2 2023) and to 241 in Germany (+8 since Q2 2023).

The division had a total of 6,252 hospital beds, an increase of 818 compared to Q3 2022, mainly in India (+628). In August, a greenfield 100-bed women and child specialty hospital was opened in Hyderabad (India). After quarter-end, two smaller Indian facilities with a total of 130 beds were divested to concentrate resources on larger units.

A greenfield 100-bed dedicated comprehensive cancer specialty hospital (Vizag, India) is scheduled to open in January 2024 and a greenfield hospital (Bangalore, India) in March 2024.

Foreign exchange fluctuations had a positive impact of 1.6% with weakness mainly for the Indian rupee offset by the strengthening of the Polish zloty. The zloty weakened during September, however after the Polish election result in October, the zloty regained strength back to the higher levels during the summer.

Diagnostic Services performed very well with good revenue growth replacing nearly all comparative Covid-19 services and the revenue from the disposed business in Belarus. Revenue was €140.9m (€142.7m), a minor decrease of 1.2% due to a negative impact from foreign currency. Organic growth amounted to 3.5%. Revenue from Covid-19 services was negligible in the quarter (prior year quarter €13.9m). The disposed business in Belarus had comparative quarter revenue of €5.2m.

Organic growth excluding Covid-19 revenue was strong amounting to 14.7% (of which approximately 4.0pp price), with good performance across all business units. This growth has replaced Covid-19 revenue in all markets except for Germany, where Covid-19 revenue was strongest.

Diagnostic Services revenue Q3, €m

FFS revenue (excluding other services) increased through strong growth in volume/mix of tests and price increases, partially offset by foreign exchange. Public pricing has not been indexed yet despite inflation, except in Romania and minor changes in other markets. In Germany, the reimbursement rates have not changed, besides minor increases in clinical services. Expectations to increase reimbursement rates are growing and the recent poor election results for the government in Germany will add pressure.

The laboratory test volume increased by 1.5% to 29.4 million (29.0 million). Excluding Covid-19 testing, volume increased by 3.4% despite the disposal of the business in Belarus. Covid-19 tests were negligible (prior year quarter 0.5 million).

PROFIT DEVELOPMENT THIRD QUARTER 2023

Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 101.5% to €18.5m (€9.1m), an increase of €9.4m with an operating margin of 4.2% (2.5%).

Net profit/(loss) amounted to €0.5m (€-3.4m), which represented a margin of 0.1% (-0.9%). Total financial result amounted to €-17.8m (€-13.7m) of which €-13.5m (€-8.7m) was related to interest expense and commitment fees on the Group's debt and other discounted liabilities. Within the interest expense €-6.2m (€-5.8m) was related to lease liabilities. Foreign exchange losses were €-5.6m (€-5.8m) of which €-5.3m (€-5.2m) was related to euro-denominated lease liabilities mainly in Poland as the zloty weakened at the end of the quarter.

Basic/diluted earnings/(loss) per share amounted to €-0.007 (€-0.024).

Consolidated EBITDA was €64.8m (€48.8m), growing by €16.0m, an EBITDA margin of 14.7% (13.3%). Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €67.1m (€52.8m) a margin of 15.2% (14.4%).

Consolidated EBITDA Q3, €m

The EBITDA ratios are demonstrating the increasing cash flow generation of the business supported by earlier stage investments becoming cash neutral and turning cash generative.

EBITDAaL was €39.6m (€26.9m), a margin of 9.0% (7.3%). Adjusted EBITDAaL was €41.9m (€30.9m), a margin of 9.5% (8.4%).

Items affecting comparability

Targets related to two acquisitions made in prior years were not achieved due to the negative impact of Covid-19 on development plans. In the quarter, the associated contingent consideration of €4.0m has been derecognised in administrative costs.

Acquisition related expenses were negligible in the quarter with lower investment activity (prior year quarter €-1.2m).

Equity settled share-based payments charges relating to long-term performance-based share programmes were €-2.3m (€-2.8m).

EBITDA for Healthcare Services grew by an impressive 44.2% to €46.6m (€32.3m). The EBITDA margin expanded to 15.3% (14.0%) despite new units, particularly the new hospital in Bucharest still weighing on profitability.

The medical cost ratio (MCR) to revenue was higher at 80.2% (78.7%), the additional costs for the early-stage hospital units have been partially offset by the improvement in the employer paid health benefit ratios.

EBITDAaL was €27.8m (€16.7m), an increase of €11.1m with a margin of 9.1% (7.3%), a 1.8pp expansion. Adjusted EBITDAaL was €28.5m (€17.6m), a margin of 9.4% (7.7%). The increased contribution from expansion and investments (startups and early-stage projects) made since 2022 starts to be apparent in the profit measures. Medicover Hospitals India (MHI) has opened three new major units over the last 15 months and a major greenfield hospital has been opened in Bucharest. These 4 units incurred an EBITDAaL loss of €-2.8m.

Medicover Sports continues to develop well with market share growth. There is a good increase in demand for sports benefits packages which are sold alongside Medicover healthcare benefits to the same employer base. The integration of the gyms acquired in 2022 and 2023 is ongoing and will

continue throughout 2024 supporting margin expansion.

Utilisation levels in the employer paid business have been slightly lower compared to the prior year quarter, however costs per unit of service delivered grew as salary costs have increased.

The dental business is growing well. During the quarter, one dental clinic was acquired.

The established inpatient facilities in Poland and Romania have performed well contributing to margin expansion. The Cluj hospital (Romania) is still making losses however is now near cash breakeven. The contract expansion granted by the Romanian State Health Fund is supporting inpatient activities in Romania. The Romanian government's recent fiscal reform package should be supportive for health funding.

MHI has expanded with new units and EBITDAaL margin has increased by just under 1pp versus the prior year quarter.

Operating profit more than doubled to €13.9m (€6.5m), a margin of 4.6% (2.8%).

EBITDA for Diagnostic Services was €20.9m (€22.6m), an EBITDA margin of 14.8% (15.9%). Underlying EBITDA demonstrated strong organic development.

EBITDAaL was €14.6m (€16.3m), a margin of 10.3% (11.4%). Adjusted EBITDAaL was €15.2m (€17.0m), a margin of 10.7% (11.9%).

The segment has performed very well, replacing nearly all of the Covid-19 contribution with organic growth and only being held back from exceeding comparative profitability by the disposed business in Belarus and negative foreign exchange fluctuation. The underlying profit contribution has increased on the back of good volume growth across all activities, despite a backdrop of prices being largely unchanged in Germany and strong cost inflation.

Operating profit was €7.9m (€9.2m), a margin of 5.6% (6.4%).

PROFIT DEVELOPMENT NINE MONTHS 2023

Operating profit (EBIT) was €42.4m (€46.3m) with an operating margin of 3.3% (4.2%).

Net profit amounted to €9.8m (€11.4m), a margin of 0.8% (1.0%). Other income/(costs) of €7.7m (€-2.9m) mainly included a gain of €7.8m relating to the sale of the business in Belarus. Total financial result amounted to €-37.0m (€-27.1m) of which €-36.9m (€-24.1m) was related to interest expense. Within the interest expense €-18.3m (€-16.0m) was related to lease liabilities. Foreign exchange losses were €-3.4m (€-7.3m) of which €-4.8m was relating to accumulated translation differences on net assets relating to the disposal of the business in Belarus and €1.4m (€-6.9m) was related to eurodenominated lease liabilities mainly in Poland.

The Group has recognised an income tax charge of €-3.4m (€-5.0m) which corresponds to an effective tax rate of 26.0% (30.3%).

Basic/diluted earnings per share amounted to €0.040 (€0.066).

Consolidated EBITDA was €177.4m (€163.9m), an EBITDA margin of 13.8% (14.7%). Adjusted EBITDA was €185.6m (€176.0m), a margin of 14.4% (15.8%).

EBITDAaL was €104.1m (€100.8m), a margin of 8.1% (9.1%). Adjusted EBITDAaL amounted to €112.3m (€112.9m), a margin of 8.7% (10.2%).

Items affecting comparability

The Belarus business was disposed in February 2023. A gain of €7.8m was recognised in other income/(costs) and €-4.8m of foreign exchange losses have been recycled from equity to other financial income/(expense) with a corresponding positive movement in other comprehensive income. EBITDA for the business in Belarus amounted to €0.1m (€3.9m).

Targets related to two acquisitions made in prior years were not achieved due to the negative impact of Covid-19 on development plans. In Q3 2023, the associated contingent consideration of €4.0m has been derecognised in administrative costs.

Acquisition related expenses were €-0.5m (€-5.2m).

AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

Medicover AB (publ), reg.no 559073–9487

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Medicover AB (publ) as of 30 September 2023 and for the nine months period then ended. The board of directors and the chief executive officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material aspects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34, and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

NOTES

1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

Basis of preparation

Medicover AB (publ) ("the Company") together with its subsidiaries are referred to as "the Group". Medicover AB (publ) is a company domiciled in Sweden, with its head office in Stockholm. The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the euro.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read together with the Group's consolidated financial statements 2022.

The report does not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements.

Information on pages 1-16 is an integral part of this report.

Accounting policies, use of estimates and judgements

The Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

From 1 January 2023, the Group applies IFRS 17 Insurance contracts. The standard is applied retrospectively and comparative figures for 2022 have been restated in this interim report. As the Group's insurance contracts are short-term contracts and the criteria for applying the premium allocation approach is met, there are no material changes to the amounts recognised. In the

consolidated statement of financial position, the insurance contract liability is presented separately, it consists of the liability for unearned premiums and incurred claims. For additional information, refer to note 38 Transition to IFRS 17 Insurance contracts in the annual report 2022. In addition, some amendments to existing standards became applicable as from 1 January 2023, however none of these have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Apart from above, the accounting policies and methods of computation applied in this report are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements 2022.

The preparation of interim reports requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies. Refer to the Group's consolidated financial statements 2022 for further information on the use of estimates and judgements.

The parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

Alternative performance measures (APMs) are presented in this interim report since these are considered as important supplemental measures of the Company's performance. For definition and reconciliation of APMs, refer to www.medicover.com.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost are considered to have carrying values that materially correspond to fair value, with the exception for the long-term schuldschein debt at

fixed interest rates where the carrying value amounted to €235.0m (€235.0m) and fair value to €205.8m (€214.2m).

Recognised fair value measurements - valuation technique and principal inputs

A breakdown of how fair value is determined is indicated in the following three levels:

Level 1: Short-term investments of €7.5m (€8.7m) include government bonds. Fair value hierarchy level 1 is used when the valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: The Group has foreign currency- and interest rate swaps where the valuation is based on level 2. Fair value hierarchy level 2 is used when inputs, other than the quoted prices included in level 1, are observable.

Level 3: The Group has the following financial assets and liabilities measured using level 3, where fair value is not based on observable market data:

a) Other financial assets include €2.2m (€2.2m) relating to 14% (14%) of the voting rights in a dialysis clinic in Germany.

b) The contingent consideration payable resulting from current year and past business combinations is mainly based on the estimated outcome of future performance targets.

c) The put option liquidity obligations with noncontrolling interests consist of:

  • The Group is contractually obliged, at a future date, to acquire a non-controlling interest in one of the Group's German subsidiaries at market price determined at that future date. Fair value amounted to €26.1m (€25.8m). 60% of the put options can be exercised from 1 November 2023 and the remaining 40% (which corresponds to €10.9m) from 1 November 2024.
  • A put option liquidity obligation with noncontrolling interests in Medicover Hospitals India ("MHI") of €62.3m (€54.4m). Half of the put options can be exercised in June 2024 at the earliest and the remaining half (which corresponds to €45.8m) from June 2027.
  • Put option liquidity obligations with noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in Norway, Cyprus and Bosnia-Herzegovina of €17.4m (€16.5m), estimated to be excercised in 2026 and 2027.

In determining the fair value of the obligations, estimations of key variables were made, of which the most significant are the growth rate of the business to determine its profitability at the future date of exercise and the discount rate applied to the nominal value.
