The CEO’s comments
We are pleased that the good organic growth is continuing. It is above all our
clinics in Stockholm that are driving the growth. We have good demand there and
have agreements with both the County Council and insurance companies that allow
us to grow and help all the patients who want to have our health care. The
clinics in Skåne also had good growth during the quarter, above all on the
insurance side.

In Västra Götaland, however, we have had a more challenging start to the year.
Our agreements there are drawn up in such a way that the County Council chooses
when they want to make use of our services. Demand from patients was there all
spring but the County Council made use of our services spasmodically. This meant
that Ortho Center Göteborg in particular at times had far too few patients this
spring at the same time as we even had to turn patients away towards the end of
spring. We continue to work on decreasing the effects from this.

The second challenge we have is that operations have decreased in frequency. We
have seen this for some time in both Sweden and Denmark, which is mainly due to
the fact that people are seeking health care for somewhat more minor injuries as
well. This is basically a positive trend, as people can be helped at an earlier
stage and they avoid aggravating their injuries. However, we need to adapt our
structures so that we use our fixed costs efficiently and have sufficient
availability.

The business basically possesses good scalability, so that organic growth
contributes to better margins. However, growth in this quarter was in clinics
that already had good capacity utilization. This has meant that it has been
necessary to employ new staff at the same time as some clinics, for the reasons
stated above, have lost volume and thus experienced reduced margins.

In spite of these challenges we continue to have a positive view of the full
year. Most clinics have good demand and profitability. In other parts of the
business, the action programmes are continuing, and even if many measures do not
have an immediate effect, we see that we are on the right track.

During the past quarter we entered into many exciting agreements with
collaboration partners such as Skandia and the Swedish Olympic Committee. We are
convinced that closer collaboration with our customers enables development
towards higher quality and efficiency where we can optimise the total package
offered. The agreement with Skandia means that we have overall responsibility
for their Stockholm customers’ health as regards their spine, hips and
shoulders. During the quarter we started a new business model to develop this
type of integrated health care solutions.

It became clear during the second quarter that there is a political majority in
the Swedish Riksdag for freedom of choice regarding health care. The Riksdag has
issued a recommendation urging the Government to change the focus of the inquiry
into profits in welfare from the form of ownership to quality and content. We
welcome a broader discussion where the focus is on what quality and availability
we get for the money we pay in taxes

We look forward to holding a Capital Markets Day on September 3, when we will
discuss our businesses and future plans at a deeper level than what we are
usually able to do. Furthermore, we will come out with more and better
information through our brand new website.
