THE CEO’S COMMENTS
We are very pleased to see that the positive development from previous quarters
has been maintained, with doubled EBITA excluding the capital gain from the sale
of our business in Bergen in Norway during the same period last year. It is
worth noting that Easter is a little later this year, which had a positive
effect on clinics’ results during the first quarter and is expected to have a
correspondingly negative effect during the second quarter. We estimate that the
effect amounts to a couple of million Swedish kronor.

The improvement comes from all business areas and is above all a result of the
fact that we have been good at attracting patients at the same time as we have
kept down our costs. The strong demand means that most of our clinics are
operating at high capacity levels, which results in good efficiency. The
improvement in results occurred in a market that continues to be challenging,
where prices in general are going down or standing still. This requires us to
continue the work on improving efficiency, above all by reviewing our hospital
care chains in their entirety and how we can work there in a smarter way in
order to reduce the resources used. Our model of a decentralised organisation,
partnership and central project resources affords us good opportunities to drive
this work together with the medical profession.

Organic growth is 6 percent, but there is also a certain Easter effect here too.
At the same time we see good opportunities to continue the organic growth. We
are working to increase capacity in several of our clinics; amongst other
things, we are going to extend Stockholm Spine Center’s city unit so that we are
more easily accessible and can expand our rehab business operations.

Public debate focuses a great deal on profits in the welfare system. In our
opinion this focus is malplaced bearing in mind that by and large there are no
other areas in society where we believe that a monopoly gives the highest
quality and greatest efficiency. Hospital care, and in particular specialist
hospital care, is a complex business that presents great challenges and where
competition really can drive development. However, this does not mean that all
private care is good, just as not all public health care is good; clear demands
must be made of care providers and good follow-up is necessary. In our view,
most politicians working closely with questions involving health care,
irrespective of party affiliation, see that private care really contributes to
the development of society. This is particularly true of GHP. Our focus on high
quality and efficient health care truly creates benefits for society.
