Attendo | Interim report January - March 2024 3 (28)
CEO’s statement
Great opportunities for long-term value creation
In 2023, we have largely completed the
three-year turnaround program aimed at
adapting operations and conditions to new
staffing requirements in Finland, restoring
occupancy after the pandemic and a period
of strong expansion, and returning to
sustainable growth. At the same time, we
have worked to strengthen our operational
care model, with increased management
density and new digital tools to relieve
employees and free up time for care.
With the acquisition of Team Olivia's
Swedish care operations in the first quarter
of 2024, we mark the start of a new phase
for Attendo. Over the next three years until
2026, we intend to build a stronger position
in disabled care and individual and family
care. We are also starting to plan to
gradually meet the expected demand for
care for older people in the Nordic region as
a result of demographic developments.
Our focus is continued sustainable and
profitable growth combined with increased
investments in digitalization. In connection
with this quarterly report, we present new
financial targets, including a performance
target of adjusted earnings per share of at
least SEK 5.50 in 2026.
Profits in the first quarter increased
significantly compared to 2023, mainly
driven by the effects of the turnaround
program in our Finnish operations.
Group: Higher profit driven by
Finland
Sales in the first quarter increased by 8 percent,
mainly driven by renegotiated contracts in
Finland. The lease adjusted operating profit
(EBITA) increased by SEK 45m (+39 percent), an
increase entirely related to the Finnish
operations.
Finland: Continued positive trend
Sales in Attendo Finland increased by 15 percent
in the quarter in local currency. Profit has
strengthened significantly year over year, mainly
linked to renegotiated contracts based on higher
staffing requirements in care for older people
and higher prices in disabled care.
Occupancy in our nursing homes was in line with
the previous quarter but lower than expected.
The result has therefore been negatively
affected by high personnel costs.
The Finnish government has announced that
staffing requirements in care for older people
will be reduced from 0.65 to 0.60 care staff per
resident from 2025. Our assessment is that this
will not have a material impact on results and
that occupancy can develop positively.
Scandinavia: Stable profits in own
operations
Sales are in line with the comparison quarter
despite several ended outsourcing contracts.
The reported result is at the same time lower
due to ended contracts and continued losses in
Denmark. Our own homes, which account for
the majority of our sales in Scandinavia,
continue to show both underlying growth and
improved profits. Occupancy is marginally
higher than in the previous quarter.
We are working to reverse the performance
trend in Scandinavia through increased sales
efforts, continued recovery in home care in
Sweden and by reversing the situation in
Denmark. We are making progress in the
turnaround in Denmark and have, among other
things, divested the last home care unit,
changed leadership, strengthened quality work
and expanded our sales efforts.
Stronger position in LSS / I&F
From the second quarter of 2024 and onwards,
Team Olivia Care Sweden is part of Attendo. The
acquisition strengthens our offering and our
position in disabled care (LSS), individual and
family care (I&F) and home care. It also gives us
a better balance between our different service
offerings in Sweden. The acquisition is expected
to contribute to adjusted earnings by at least
SEK 0.5 per share when the operations are fully
integrated in 2025. At the beginning of the
second quarter and in line with our strategy, we
acquired an additional 8 group homes within
disabled care in Sweden.
Martin Tivéus, President and CEO
Our customer focus,
combined with offering
cost-effective care to
payors and solving
complex care needs,
means we are well
positioned for the future.
===== SIDA 4 =====
Attendo | Interim report January - March 2024 4 (28)
New financial targets
Over the past three years, we have succeeded in
reversing the development in Finland and
recovered a large part of the occupancy loss due
to the pandemic while strengthening employee
ownership and our operational model. During
the period, we have implemented a model for
increased focus on quality of life, we have
strengthened operational leadership through
new leadership training for care managers,
introduced group managers in nursing homes in
both Finland and Sweden, and taken several
steps forward on our digitalization journey. The
result is a more stable operation, but also better
results in both customer and relatives’
satisfaction, employee satisfaction and payor
satisfaction.
Attendo has previously set a target to reach an
adjusted profit of SEK 4 per share, which still is
expected to be achieved in 2024. With the clear
turnaround in Finland and the acquisition of
Team Olivia, we are now entering a new value
creation phase, with new more forward-looking
targets.
In the coming years we intend to continue to
strengthen the company's operational and
financial position, with the goal of reaching
adjusted earnings per share of at least SEK 5.50
in 2026:
• Underlying operating profit growth of at least
10 percent annually, driven by increased
occupancy, operational efficiency, price
adjustments, new units and continuous
smaller acquisitions in existing segments
• The acquisition of Team Olivia Care will
generate at least SEK 0.5 annually from 2025
• Continuous share repurchases have further
positive impact on earnings per share
Attendo maintains its current dividend target of
distributing 30% of adjusted net profit and it is
intended to be combined with continuous share
buyback programs. The debt target, measured
as adjusted net debt in relation to adjusted
EBITDA, is to be between 1.5-2.5x.
Long-term value creation
Attendo is the oldest and leading private care
company in the Nordic region, with a focus on
Sweden and Finland. Needs in care for older
people are expected to increase in the coming
decade. The drivers are a growing number of
older people and demand for providers that can
handle complex care needs that local authorities
and regions cannot solve on their own. We also
see a strong desire from citizens to choose care
solutions that suit their own needs. For over 20
years, Attendo has worked with our mission
"empowering the individual", which means that
we should see, support and strengthen every
person in need of care. Our customer focus
combined with the fact that we offer payors
cost-effective care and solve complex care
needs means that we are well positioned for the
future.

Net sales increased by 8.5 percent to SEK
4,386m (4,044) during the quarter. Adjusted for
currency effects, net sales increased by 8.0
percent, which corresponds to organic growth.
Organic growth is explained by increased net
sales in Attendo Finland, primarily in nursing
homes.

amounted to SEK 161m (116) and the margin
was 3.7 percent (2.9). Profit increased
significantly in Attendo Finland but decreased in
Attendo Scandinavia.
IFRS16-related effects on operating profit
(EBITA) amounted to SEK 131m (125).
Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 292m
(241) and the operating margin to 6.7 percent
(6.0).
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 278m
(226), corresponding to an operating margin
(EBIT) of 6.3 percent (5.6). The change is
explained by the same factors as described
above.
Net financial items
Net financial items amounted to SEK -198m
(-190) in the quarter, of which net interest
expenses corresponded to SEK -28m (-30).
Interest expenses related to lease liability real

SEK -162m (-163).
Taxes
Income tax amounted to SEK -17m (-8),
corresponding to a tax rate of 21.1 percent
(22.3).
Profit for the period
and earnings per share
Profit for the period amounted to SEK 63m (28),
corresponding to a basic and diluted earnings
per share for parent company shareholders of
SEK 0.39 (0.17). Adjusted earnings per share
after dilution amounted to SEK 0.58 (0.43).
Cash flow
Cash flow before changes in working capital
amounted to SEK 723m (641). Changes in
working capital were SEK -107m (-103). Working
capital was affected by that the closing balance
day was during the Easter holiday. Net
investments in fixed assets amounted to SEK
-37m (-28). Free cash flow amounted to SEK
20m (8).
Cash flow from operations was SEK 423m (361).

amounted to SEK -29m (66).
Financial position
Equity attributable to shareholders in the parent
company amounted to SEK 5,435 million (5,037)
as of 31 March 2024, corresponding to SEK
33.79 (31.30) per share after dilution. Net debt
amounted to SEK 14,630m (15,249). Lease
adjusted net debt excluding lease liability real
estate amounted to SEK 1,254m (1,878).

15,550m (15,827) at 31 March 2024. Cash and
cash equivalents at 31 March 2024 were SEK
907m (575) and Attendo had SEK 1,400m (1,488)
in unutilized credit facilities.
Lease adjusted net debt / lease adjusted EBITDA
amounted to 1.2x (3.6x). Net debt / EBITDA
amounted to 4.7x (6.5x).
Beds and occupancy
The total number of beds in operation in homes
at the end of the quarter was 20,506 (20,923).
The reduced number of beds is explained by
ended outsourcing contracts in Attendo
Scandinavia. Occupancy in homes at the end of
the quarter was 86 percent (86). The number of
beds in Own operations under construction was
571, distributed among 11 nursing homes.

Sustainable care
Attendos shall create value for customers and relatives, employees and payors
through high-quality care that meets future needs, while acting responsibly in society and
towards the environment and climate.
Continued positive developments in
customer and relatives’ satisfaction
Evidence-based quality of life measures show what difference Attendo makes
Customer satisfaction
The positive trend in customer satisfaction continues. The
weighted cNPS for the Group as a whole amounted to 39 (38)
in the most recent measurements. The development reflects
Attendo's efforts to establish working methods that enable
each local unit to identify and take actions that improve the
customer experience. The focus in recent quarters has been to
strengthen local managers' ability to follow the unit's results
and to ascertain ongoing satisfaction reviews with customers,
employees and relatives, led by specially trained employees.
Relatives satisfaction
Attendo also measures relatives’ satisfaction to continuously
develop the relationship with the persons close to the
customer. The weighted relatives satisfaction (rNPS) for the
group as a whole was 41 in the latest measurements, a clear
improvement from 29 in the previous year. This outcome is also
a reflection of Attendo’s long-term and structured efforts
strengthen dialogue and take swift actions when improvement
areas are identified.
Attendo has been working to implement evidence-based quality
of life outcome measurements for several years.
In Finland, the Residence Assessment Instrument (RAI) is used,
linked to the legal requirement to use RAI within elderly care. In
Scandinavia, a similar method is used, but based on the Adult
Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (ASCOT). Both instruments are
validated by research and designed to measure and follow up
key aspects of the quality of life of an individual in a social care
setting.
Based on structured interviews with care recipients and close
monitoring by trained staff, the methods provide outcome data
of the perceived quality of life and how it develops.
The outcome of the RAI method is an index score, reflecting the
dimensions of the assessment. From the ASCOT method, the
outcome is a gain score (-0.17 to a maximum of +1) that
represents the improvement in quality of life due to the care
provided.
The overall quality of life score in Attendo Finland in the latest
RAI measurements was 5.7, an improvement from 5.6 in the
previous quarter (scale from 1 to 10). Over time, RAI scores
from both public and private care operations are expected to be
made available, allowing for national benchmarking.
In Scandinavia, the gain score from the ASCOT-method was 0.72
on average during the first quarter 2024 (-).
The processes and insights from the quality of life
measurements are continuously being developed, with the aim
to systematically complement the care planning and improve
the care experience.

Sustainable care
Non-financial key figures
Attendo works systematically and purposefully
with sustainability. Every quarter, we report the
latest key figures in order to report the outcome
of our work.
Quality audits
and deviations
Attendo has strict procedures for handling
deviations in the care operations. This includes
procedures for reporting, managing and
following up on any deviations from internal
guidelines or working methods, as well as
serious incidents that have led to or risked
leading to care related injuries for individuals
(Lex Sarah and Lex Maria in Sweden).
Scandinavia
During the first quarter, a total of 9 cases from
Sweden were reported to the supervisory
authority IVO according to Lex Sarah or Lex
Maria.
Finland
In Finland, during the first quarter, 1 case was
opened by the supervisory authority AVI and 1
case was closed. The total number of open cases
is 14 at the end of the quarter. The surveillance
of elderly care is increasingly being transferred
to the welfare regions, resulting in a lower
number of open AVI cases. As the roles and
systems develop, Attendo will update its
reporting in order to provide the most accurate
reflection of ongoing cases.

Business area Finland
Continued profit improvement
January - March 2024
Net sales in Attendo Finland amounted to SEK
2,714m (2,352), corresponding to a growth of
15.4 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, net
sales increased by 14.5 percent, equivalent to
organic growth. The growth is explained by
increased net sales mainly in nursing homes due
to price adjustments.
Occupancy was slightly lower than in the
comparison quarter and in line with the fourth
quarter of 2023.
Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA)
amounted to SEK 138m (73) and the margin was
5.1 percent (3.1). The increase in earnings is
primarily explained by higher price increases
than cost increases in care for older people and
disabled care.
Since the occupancy development in our nursing
homes was slower than expected, profits have
been negatively affected by higher personnel
costs. In Finland, nursing homes must have
staffing in line with the staff requirements
before new customers can move in.
IFRS16-related effects on operating profit
(EBITA) amounted to SEK 81m (77).
Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 220m
(150) and the operating margin (EBITA)
amounted to 8.1 percent (6.4). Currency effects
amounted to SEK 2m.
The number of beds under construction in own
operations at the end of the quarter amounted
to 343 beds. Attendo Finland won a contract for
meal services with estimated annual sales of
about SEK 100m, which has not yet started.

Stable development in own operations in Sweden
January - March 2024
Net sales in Attendo Scandinavia amounted to
SEK 1,672m (1,692), representing a decrease of
1.2 percent both before and after currency
effects. The decrease is explained by ended
outsourcing contracts. Net sales increased in
nursing homes in own operations.
Occupancy in homes increased compared to the
comparison quarter and also increased slightly
compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
Lease adjusted operating profit (EBITA)
amounted to SEK 43m (61), corresponding to a
margin of 2.6 percent (3.6).
The lower profit in Scandinavia is explained by
ended outsourcing contracts and lower result in
Denmark. It is mainly a number of profitable
outsourcing contracts that were ended in the
fourth quarter of 2023 that now affect the
comparison with the previous year negatively.
The Danish operations continued to show losses
in the first quarter. The ongoing turnaround
program is progressing. The leadership has been
changed, the quality of operations has improved
and we see opportunities to gradually regain
occupancy in the coming quarters.
Profits increased in own homes in Sweden, both
in nursing homes and in group homes for people
with disabilities. The improvement is driven by
higher occupancy and price adjustments.
IFRS16-related effects on operating profit
amounted to SEK 50m (48).
Operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 93m
(109), corresponding to an operating margin
(EBITA) of 5.6 percent (6.4).
The number of beds under construction in own
operations amounted to 228 at the end of the
quarter. A couple of outsourcing contracts
ended during the quarter. Estimated annual
sales for outsourcing contracts that have been
won but not yet started and outsourcing
contracts that have been lost but not yet ended
are estimated to be SEK -231m net. The
contracts will end or start mainly in the third
and fourth quarters of 2024.

The average number of annual employees in the
first quarter was 21,563 (20,699).
Related party transactions
Transactions with related parties are described
in the annual report. Related-party transactions
take place on market terms. There were no
significant transactions with related parties
during the period.
The parent company, Attendo AB
(publ)
The business of the parent company is to
provide services to the subsidiaries and manage
shares in subsidiaries. The company’s expenses
relate mainly to executive salaries, directors’
fees and costs for external consultants.
Net sales for the period January-March
amounted to SEK 5m (5), and were entirely
related to services provided to subsidiaries. The
loss for the period after financial items
amounted to SEK -9m (-8). At the end of the
period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to
SEK 12m (0), shares in subsidiaries to SEK
6,494m (6,494) and non-restricted equity SEK
6,574m (6,658).
Seasonal and calendar effects
Attendo’s profitability is affected by factors
including seasonal variations, weekends and
national public holidays. For Attendo, public
holidays and weekends have a negative effect
on profitability mainly due to wage
compensation for unsocial working hours. For
example, profitability is affected by Easter in
either the first or second quarter, depending on
the quarter in which Easter falls, while the first
and fourth quarters are affected by the
Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
Roundings
Note that roundings occur in text, charts and
tables.
Significant events after the balance
sheet date
On 2 April, Attendo completed the acquisition of
Team Olivia's Swedish care business, excluding
personal assistance, by acquiring 100 percent of
the shares and votes in a newly formed
company containing relevant assets and
subsidiaries. Attendo thereby strengthens the
position in disabled care (LSS), individual and
family care (IOF) and home care in Sweden. The
acquired business has annual sales of
approximately SEK 1,350m and a lease adjusted
operating profit of approximately SEK 130m. The
purchase price amounted to SEK 950m on a cash
and debt-free basis. Attendo has initiated the
process of preparing a purchase price allocation.
Annual General Meeting
Attendo AB's Annual General Meeting will be
held on 24 April 2024 at 16:30 in Danderyd. The
resolutions will be announced in a communiqué
after the meeting.
Risks and uncertainties
Attendo works systematically with risk
assessment and management as a central part
of Attendo's strategic process, where risks in
relation to the company's ability to achieve its
strategic and financial goals are evaluated in a
structured and regular manner.
The main risks that may affect the company's
ability to achieve its financial and strategic
objectives in the short to medium term are the
shortage of qualified staff, the negative impact
of strained public finances on local decisions on
care, and the continued high rate of inflation
and high interest rates.
The risks and how Attendo works to manage
them are described in more detail in Attendo's
annual report (see section Risks and risk
management in the annual report for 2023,
pages 49-52).

About Attendo
Attendo was founded in 1985 and is the
largest care company in the Nordic
region. We have almost 35,000
employees at around 800 operations in
300 municipalities and regions in
Finland, Sweden and Denmark*.
Attendo invests in new capacity and
leads the development of quality,
innovations and new, cost-effective
ways of working in Nordic care. All our
operations are based on our vision - to
provide better care to more people.
We provide care for older people, care
for people with disabilities, and
individual and family care to about
30,000 customers. Our mission is to
empower the individual, which means
that we see, support and strengthen
every person. Our values - care,
commitment and competence - guide
us in every action, every day.
* Including Team Olivia care
Attendo operates through two business areas,
Attendo Finland and Attendo Scandinavia.
Our service offering consists of:
• Care for older people
Nursing homes for older people with dementia
or somatic needs and home care services, which
usually involve a comprehensive approach to
care, meals, cleaning, laundry, evening and
night-time services and home health care.
• Disabled care
Housing and daily activities for people of
different ages and with different disabilities or
care needs. We also offer respite care for
relatives through short-term accommodation, as
well as respite care and accompanying services.
• Other care
Social psychiatry and rehabilitation as well as
other individualized care efforts in housing and
day and school activities. We also offer
individual and family care in consultant-
supported family homes, crisis and emergency
accommodation, HVB homes, addiction care and
supported housing.
Attendo also provides meal services and
recruitment of care staff.
Attendo mainly provide activities under our own
operations, where we provide care in
units/facilities under our own control, or home
care under customer choice schemes. We also
provide outsourced activities, where
units/facilities are controlled by the public
payor, or home care services on a contractual
basis.
Attendo's payors are usually a local or regional
authority (municipality or welfare region), but
the contract form and contract length vary
depending on the contract model and service
offering. Our own operations are normally
based on freedom of choice systems or
framework agreements while outsourcing
operations are based on tendered outsourcing
contracts. The contracts usually run for a period
of 2-5 years.
