Comments from the President and CEO

A good start to the year" "

We started 2025 with an improved operating margin of 6.4 percent (6.0) in the first quarter, supported by improvements across all business segments. Both security services and technology & solutions improved the operating margin.

Organic sales growth was 3 percent. Real sales growth in technology and solutions reached 5 percent, reflecting continued progress in shifting towards higher-margin technology and solutions services.

Operating cash flow improved compared to last year and our balance sheet remained strong.

A RESILIENT BUSINESS

In a time characterized by heightened global uncertainty and geopolitical risks, clients navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. Our long-term partnership approach, strengthened by deep security expertise, a global presence and AI-enabled digital capabilities, sets us apart as the preferred partner in the market.

Our resilient business model has consistently proven its strength over time. By primarily delivering local security services in close proximity to our clients, we limit exposure to shifts in the global trade landscape and macro volatility. Although uncertainty remains, we had no material impact in the first quarter. We remain vigilant, closely monitoring development together with our clients.

We have had a strong focus on portfolio management in our security services business. Combined with substantially better margins on new sales through our improved offering, we have materially improved the profitability. In North America, we have addressed the lowmargin contracts, allowing us to shift our focus towards profitable growth. During the coming twelve months we will address the majority of non-performing contracts in Europe and Ibero-America. We are continuously enhancing our offering, laying a strong foundation for sustained margin growth over time.

The business optimization program initiated at the start of the year is on track to achieve MSEK 200 in annualized savings by the end of 2025.

We continue to evaluate our business mix and presence to sharpen long-term performance and competitive position.

In the first quarter, we successfully completed the divestment of our airport security business in France. We are assessing our strategic options related to the business unit Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services (SCIS) and expect to conclude the assessment during the year.

CREATING LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

Our first-quarter performance, with 16 percent growth of earnings per share, is aligned with our plan, and we remain committed to achieving our target of 8 percent operating margin by the end of 2025. We continue to shape Securitas into a company wellpositioned to consistently deliver longterm value to our shareholders.

JANUARY–MARCH 2025

SALES DEVELOPMENT

Sales amounted to MSEK 39 606 (39 260) and organic sales growth was 3 percent (7) in the first quarter, supported by all three business segments. Extra sales in the Group amounted to 12 percent (12) of total sales.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and divestitures and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 2 percent (5).

Technology and solutions sales amounted to MSEK 13 227 (12 762) or 33 percent (32) of total sales in the first quarter. Real sales growth, including acquisitions and divestitures and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 5 percent (7).

OPERATING INCOME BEFORE AMORTIZATION

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 2 525 (2 357) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a real change of 9 percent (9).

The Group's operating margin was 6.4 percent (6.0), an improvement supported by all business segments but somewhat hampered by Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services, reported under the heading Other in the segment reporting, mainly due to a contract loss during the first quarter.

OPERATING INCOME AFTER AMORTIZATION

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets amounted to MSEK –150 (–151).

Acquisition-related costs totaled MSEK –3 (–1). For further information refer to Acquisitions and divestitures on page 12 and note 6.

Items affecting comparability were MSEK –77 (–217) whereof MSEK –46 (–80) were related to the transformation program in Europe, MSEK –26 (0) to the business optimization program and MSEK –5 (0) to the divestiture of the airport security business in France. For further information refer to note 7.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –497 (–554). The impact from IAS 29 hyperinflation was MSEK 12 (32) relating to the net monetary gain. For further information refer to note 8. Financial income and expense also include foreign currency gains and losses, net of MSEK 1 (3). The underlying improvement in financial income and expenses mainly derives from lower debt and lower interest rates.

QUARTERLY SALES DEVELOPMENT

Organic sales growth, %

QUARTERLY OPERATING INCOME DEVELOPMENT

JANUARY–MARCH 2025

Organic sales growth was 3 percent (4) in the first quarter, driven by good growth in the Technology and Pinkerton business units. Organic sales growth in the Guarding business unit was supported by positive net change in the portfolio along with price increases, although still hampered by the termination of an airport security contract of MSEK 1 300 on March 31, 2024, as previously communicated. The client retention rate was 88 percent (90).

Technology and solutions sales accounted for MSEK 6 058 (5 787) or 37 percent (37) of total sales in the business segment, with real sales growth of 4 percent (7) in the first quarter.

The operating margin was 8.7 percent (8.6). The operating margin in the Guarding business improved, while the Technology business unit came in on par with last year. The performance in Pinkerton hampered the operating margin development.

The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened slightly against the US dollar, which had a minor impact on operating income in Swedish krona. The real change in operating income was 4 percent (8) in the first quarter.

Securitas Europe

Securitas Europe provides protective services in 21 countries. The full range of protective services includes on-site, mobile and remote guarding, technology and solutions, fire and safety services and corporate risk management.

QUARTERLY SALES DEVELOPMENT

JANUARY–MARCH 2025

Organic sales growth was 4 percent (10) in the first quarter, driven by price increases including the impact of the hyperinflationary environment in Türkiye. Active portfolio management held back organic sales growth in the security services business line. The client retention rate was 90 percent (91).

Technology and solutions sales accounted for MSEK 5 661 (5 528) or 34 percent (33) of total sales in the business segment, with real sales growth of 6 percent (8) in the first quarter.

The operating margin was 5.7 percent (5.0), an improvement driven by the security services business, mainly from active portfolio management and improved margins on new sales. The airport security business also supported the development, including the divestiture of the airport security business in France. The operating margin in the technology and solutions business line also improved.

The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened against the euro and the Turkish lira, which had a negative impact on operating income in Swedish krona. The real change in operating income was 17 percent (9) in the first quarter.

The operating margin was 7.1 percent (6.7). The improvement was driven by the development in security services as well as in the technology and solutions business line.

The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened against most currencies in the segment, which had a negative impact on operating income in Swedish krona. The real change in operating income was 10 percent (5) in the first quarter.

The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 21 977 (20 869 as of December 31, 2024). The translation of foreign operating capital employed to Swedish kronor decreased the Group's operating capital employed by MSEK 1 441.

The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 77 759 (80 603 as of December 31, 2024). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish kronor decreased the Group's capital employed by MSEK 5 788. The return on capital employed was 15 percent (14 as of December 31, 2024).

FINANCING AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 37 267 (37 923 as of December 31, 2024). The net debt was impacted mainly by the free cash flow of MSEK –1 048, translation differences of MSEK 2 445 and payments for items affecting comparability of MSEK –323.

The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.5 (2.9). The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.14 (0.10). The interest coverage ratio amounted to 4.5 (4.0).

On March 31, 2025, Securitas had a Revolving Credit Facility with its eleven key relationship banks. The size of the facility amounted to MEUR 1 029 maturing 2027. The facility was undrawn on March 31, 2025.

A Swedish Commercial Paper Program amounts to MSEK 5 000, of which MSEK 300 was utilized as of March 31, 2025.

Standard & Poor's rating of Securitas is BBB with stable outlook.

Further information regarding financial instruments and credit facilities is provided in note 9.

The closing balance for liquid funds after translation differences of MSEK –197 was MSEK 5 484 (7 427 as of December 31, 2024).

Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 40 492 (42 680 as of December 31, 2024).

DIVESTITURE OF AVIATION FRANCE

During the first quarter 2025 Securitas completed the divestment of the airport security business in France to local management. Full year 2024 sales were approximately BSEK 1.5 with an operating margin well below average in Securitas Europe. For further information please refer to note 6 and 7.

Other significant events

For critical estimates and judgments, provisions and contingent liabilities refer to the Annual Report 2024 and to note 11. If no significant events have occurred relating to the information in the Annual Report no further comments are made in the Interim Report for the respective case.

PORTUGAL – PORTUGUESE COMPETITION AUTHORITY

The Portuguese Competition Court has declared the previously communicated

decision by the Portuguese competition authority (the PCA) regarding alleged violations of anti-trust regulations by several Portuguese security companies, among them Securitas – Servicos E Tecnologia de Seguranca SA null and void. The decision has not yet been confirmed as final and unappealable. The previous assessment that no material impact on the result nor financial position of the Group is expected remains.

SECURITAS CRITICAL INFRA-STRUCTURE SERVICES (SCIS)

We are assessing our strategic options related to the business unit Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services (SCIS) and expect to conclude this work during the year. In 2024, SCIS had sales of BSEK 9.3 and an operating margin substantially below the Group's operating margin. Sales in the first quarter 2025 was BSEK 2.2 with a continued declining operating margin.

Risks and uncertainties

Risk management is necessary for Securitas to be able to fulfil its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives. Our approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report 2024.

Securitas' risks fall into three categories: operational risks, financial risks and strategic risks and opportunities.

Operational risks include risks directly attributed to business operations, for example the risk of labour shortages, contract risk, acquisition risks, business ethics risks and cyber security threats.

Financial risks comprise risks such as refinancing risk, interest-rate risks, foreign exchange risk, cash flow risk and tax related risks.

Strategic risks and opportunities refer to changes in the business environment with potential significant effects on Securitas' operations and business objectives. Current strategic risks include for example risks related to the general macro-economic and political environment such as trade conflicts and protectionist measures,

a challenging insurance market, and the litigation environment in the US.

Also, the geopolitical situation in the world has changed with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. We have no operations either in Russia or in Ukraine and very limited presence in Israel, but we follow the development closely and contribute to a safer society where we can.

In Europe, we still have some outstanding work related to transformation programs and will continue our implementation efforts in 2025 and 2026. In addition, a business optimization program is being executed in 2025, mainly in Europe.

The implementation and rollout of new systems and platforms to support transformation, as well as optimization programs naturally carry a risk in terms of potential disruptions to our operations, which could negatively impact our result, cash flow and financial position. Additionally, the expected savings may be lower than anticipated and certain costs in connection with

the programs may be higher than anticipated.

All these risks make it difficult to predict the economic development of the different markets and geographies in which we operate.

In the preparation of financial reports, the Board of Directors and Group Management make estimates and judgments. These impact the statement of income and balance sheet as well as disclosures such as contingent liabilities. Actual outcomes may differ under varying circumstances and conditions.

For the forthcoming twelve-month period, the financial impact of the risks described above, as well as certain items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report 2024 and, where applicable, under the heading Other significant events, may vary from the current financial estimates and provisions made by management. This could affect the Group's profitability and financial position.

Parent Company operations

The Group's Parent Company, Securitas AB, is not involved in any operating activities. Securitas AB consists of Group Management and support functions for the Group.

Technology and solutions

This comprises two broad categories regarding technology and solutions.

Technology consists of the sale of alarm, access control and video installations comprising design, installation and integration (time, material and related expenses). Revenue is recognized as per the contract, either upon completion of the conditions in the contract, or over time based on the percentage of completion. Remote guarding (in the form of alarm monitoring services), that is sold separately and not as part of a solution, is also included in this category. Revenue recognition is over time as this is also a service that is rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the clients. The category further includes maintenance services, that are either performed upon request (time and material) with revenue recognition at a point in time (when the work has been performed), or over time if part of a service level contract with a subscription fee. Finally, there are also product sales (alarms and components) without any design or installation. The revenue recognition is at a point in time (upon delivery).

Solutions are a combination of services such as on-site and/or mobile guarding and/or remote guarding. These services are combined with a technology component in terms of equipment owned and managed by Securitas and used in the provision of services. The equipment is installed at the client site. The revenue recognition pattern is over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the client. A solution normally constitutes one performance obligation.

Security services

This comprises on-site and mobile guarding, which are services with the same revenue recognition pattern. Revenue is recognized over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the client. Such services cannot be reperformed.

Risk management services

This comprises various types of risk management services that are either recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the type of service. These services include risk advisory, security management, executive protection, corporate investigations, due diligence and similar services.

Other operating income

Other operating income consists mainly of trade mark fees for the use of the Securitas brand name.

The calculations below relate to the period January–March 2025.

Interest coverage ratio

Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus interest income (rolling 12 months) in relation to interest expenses (rolling 12 months). Calculation: (11 368 + 289) / 2 568 = 4.5

Cash flow from operating activities, %

Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of operating income before amortization.

Calculation: 14 / 2 525 = 1%

Free cash flow in relation to net debt

Free cash flow (rolling 12 months) in relation to closing balance of net debt. Calculation: 5 388 / 37 267 = 0.14

Net debt to EBITDA ratio

Net debt in relation to operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) excluding depreciation (rolling 12 months) and including acquisition-related costs (rolling 12 months). Calculation: 37 267 / (11 368 + 3 737 – 18) = 2.5

Net working capital in % of total sales

Net working capital as a percentage of total sales (rolling 12 months) adjusted for the full-year sales of acquired and divested entities. Calculation: 10 848 / 161 167 = 7%

Capital expenditures in % of total sales

Investments in non-current tangible and intangible assets for the period as a percentage of total sales for the period.

Calculation: 979 / 39 606 = 2.5%

Return on capital employed

Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) as a percentage of closing balance of capital employed adjusted for provisions related to items affecting comparability. Calculation: 11 368 / (77 759 + 515) = 15%

Net debt equity ratio

Net debt in relation to shareholders' equity. Calculation: 37 267 / 40 492 = 0.92

Operating capital employed

Capital employed less goodwill, acquisition-related intangible assets, shares in associated companies and other capital employed.

Other capital employed

Current and deferred tax balances, accrued interest, deferred considerations and provisions related to items affecting comparability and acquisition-related costs.
