Humana reports second quarter and half-year 2022 results
Acquisition growth and room to improve margins
Second quarter, April–June 2022
- Operating revenue amounted to SEK 2,241 million (2,058), an increase of 8.9 percent, which was mainly due to acquisitions, previously opened units within Elderly Care and continued good growth in Norway.
- Organic growth was 2.2 percent (4.2). Organic growth was driven by Elderly Care, Norway and Finland, while fewer assistance hours within Personal Assistance and closed units in Individual & Family inhibited growth.
- Operating profit amounted to SEK 65m (107), a decline of 39.4 percent. The decrease is mainly due to continuous shortage of staff in all business areas, inflation and ramp-up costs for newly started units.
- Net profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 18m (57).
- Basic and diluted earnings per share for the period amounted to SEK 0.37 (1.18).
- Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 237m (251). The decrease is related to lower profit.
Six-month period, January–June 2022
- Operating revenue was SEK 4,388m (4,044), an increase of 8.5 percent. Organic growth was 2.2 percent.

President and CEO Johanna Rastad comments on the quarter
In the second quarter of the year, we see a cautious recovery following the pandemic, inhibited by continued staffing challenges. Significant time and effort is placed into ensuring that we have the competence and capacity to provide a safe and good service to the individuals in our care.
During the quarter, we welcomed three important acquisitions that complement our operations. Integration of these, together with systematic improvements in our underlying operations, give us an even better foundation to build upon.
