CEO comments:

“Capio Nordic and Capio Germany continue to improve – Capio France is on track
to compensate for the government’s price reduction.”

We have a clear strategy and focus: In continental Europe, Modern Medicine is
driving Rapid Recovery with shorter treatment times and a higher proportion of
outpatient treat­ments. In the Nordics, Modern Management will increase the
direct patient time for medical staff thus driving higher produc­tivity through
empowered people.

In financial terms this translates for the Group into 2.9% organic sales growth
in the first nine months (2.3% in the quarter) and an improvement in adjusted
operating result (EBITA) of 13.8% (8.9% in the quarter).

In the Nordics the focus is on more patient time for doctors and nurses through
less administrative duties. Several projects are currently under implementation
in order to speed up this development in 2016.

Organic sales growth was 4.8% in the first nine months (4.2% in the quarter) and
the adjusted operating result (EBITA) was up 19.8% (17.6% in the quarter). There
was good sales growth and positive development of operating results in Capio St
Göran’s hospital, Specialist Clinics and Norway. In Proximity Care there is a
very strong focus on increasing the time for patients through more doctor visits
per day among other actions.

In France the number of patients operated on increased by 2.5%, including a 6.7%
outpatient growth and a -5.2% inpatient decrease in the first nine months. This
means that we are succ­ess­ful in Rapid Recovery moving patients from in- to
outpatient treatments in line with our strategy. The share of outpatients
op­erated on has increased by 3 p.p. compared to the first nine months in the
previous year and corresponded to 67% out of the total num­ber of patients
operated on. The average outpatient surgery rate in French hospitals was 45% in
2014. We have also seen that the average length of stay (AVLOS) is continuing to
decrease with -2.5% for comparable DRGs (Diagnosis Related Groups) within MSO
(Medicine, Surgery and Obstetric) during the first nine months.

The French government made a general price reduction of -2.5% on medical sales
from March 1, 2015.

In the third, seasonally weak, quarter net sales were negatively impacted by
this price reduction. Productivity im­prov­­e­­­ments almost compen­sated for
the price reduct­ion in the quarter. The opening of the Belharra hospital in
Bayonne and the ongoing integration of the Parisis hospital impacted the result
negatively in the quarter.

The organic sales growth in Capio France of 0.6% in the first nine months (-0.7%
in the quarter) includes the above mention­ed effects and the strike effect from
the first quarter. For the first nine months, the adjusted operating result
(EBITA) was slightly up with 2.4% (-27.6% in the quarter) reflecting that the
price reduction was almost compensated for.

In order to mitigate the negative price effect, Capio France has, from the first
quarter 2015, put several programs in place to speed up the implem­entation of
Modern Medicine driv­ing Rapid Recovery. The programs are not yet fully up to
speed, but are expected to have full effect in 2016.

In Germany the organic sales growth was 2.0% (4.1% in the quarter) and operating
result (EBITA) was up with 16.7%, reflecting an improved performance in the
general hospitals, mainly the hospital in Dannenberg.
