The adjusted EBITA margin improved one percentage point year-on-year, and Ambea continued to deliver positive growth in own management. The acquisition of Aleris’ care operations will broaden our growth platform, and make us the largest care provider in Sweden, Norway and Denmark with a strong pipeline of own management beds. Integration and synergy realization planning is ongoing pending competition authorities approval ahead of closing of the transaction, which is expected in Q1 2019.Net sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,541 million (1,488). Own Management accounted for 69 per cent (65) of net sales. Adjusted EBITA, excluding items affecting comparability, increased compared to the previous year to SEK 205 million (183).During the year, we have laid the foundation for increased growth by establishing a large own management pipeline and by undertaking several minor acquisitions. Following the acquisition of Aleris’ care operations, we are now looking forward to using our operational model and growth strategy in more geographies and segments.
