President and CEO Johanna Rastad comments on the quarter

"Humana has a clearly formulated vision where the core is everyone’s right to a good life. This vision should be easy to embrace, yet the private choice for assistance care has clearly been challenged over the past six months. On 21 June 2023, the Administrative Court cancelled IVO’s revocation of Humana Assistans AB’s permit and shortly thereafter, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) announced that they once again approve us as a payment recipient. IVO has not appealed the ruling, which means we can finally put the legal proceedings behind us and focus on developing our company further.

Although the disturbance within Personal Assistance has a direct negative effect on results, Humana as a group remains strong, and we are growing organically, markedly improving our profitability and strengthening our cash flow."
