Operational Highlights

The net loss was primarily driven by a capital loss from the sale of its Strängnäs elderly care home during the quarter, according to the company's report. Despite this, Humana noted profitability improvements in its key markets of Sweden and Finland.

Management stated that demand remains strong for its care services, particularly for individuals with functional disabilities. In line with this demand, the company opened new units and signed new rental agreements during the period. Humana also reported that it has linked its loans to sustainability targets as part of its operational priorities.
