He stated that Attendo, which began 40 years ago, now operates approximately 800 care units across the Nordic region, primarily in Sweden and Finland, and employs around 30,000 people. Tivéus noted that the company has shifted focus over the past 15–20 years toward building and operating care facilities in-house. He said Attendo plans to continue focusing on non-financial metrics, such as leadership, training, and culture, to improve care quality, and aims to drive operational improvements, including better occupancy rates and leveraging new brands in Sweden's LSS and social psychiatry sectors. Tivéus claimed that Attendo has higher process quality, employee satisfaction, and customer satisfaction than publicly operated care, at a cost approximately 10% lower in Sweden and 20% lower in Finland. He also stated that the need for elderly care places and home care services is expected to increase by over 30% in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark over the next five to six years. Regarding capital allocation, Tivéus indicated that the company plans to prioritize dividends and share buybacks over large structural deals, while continuing to invest in smaller acquisitions and capacity expansion.
