"Strong operational results and completion of Stanley Security acquisition"
We are executing on our strategy to be the leading security solutions partner to our clients with world-leading technology and expertise. We delivered all time high profitability and improved the operating margin to 5.8 percent (5.6) in the second quarter, a level which is significantly higher than the prepandemic years.
The good business conditions accelerated in the second quarter with organic sales growth of 6 percent (8), driven by Europe and Ibero-America. As planned, organic sales growth in North America was negative in the second quarter due to the low margin contract terminations from last year and lower extra sales. However, the underlying business in North America is developing very well and we expect organic sales growth to return to positive in the third quarter.
We had great momentum within high-margin security solutions and electronic security sales in the second quarter with 13 percent real sales growth, which represented 23 percent (22) of Group sales.
The operating result for the Group, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, increased by 8 percent in the second quarter. Our operations in North America and Ibero-America delivered strong margin improvement. Europe improved well compared to the first quarter with strong operating result improvement compared to last year, despite continued pressure from costs related to labor shortage and sickness. The inflationary environment is challenging across the Group, but we have successfully managed a positive price and wage balance. Dynamic price increase management is a key priority going forward to ensure quality delivery to our clients.
Our high focus on improving client value and profitability is generating results with higher sales of security solutions and electronic security across all segments together with positive impact from active portfolio management and our transformation programs.
The transformation program in North America which was finalized in 2021, is delivering value in the day-to-day operations and contributes to the operating margin development. The ongoing business transformation programs in Europe and Ibero-America are progressing according to plan and we expect to realize strong financial and operational benefits in the years to come.
In the second quarter, we reached an important sustainability milestone as the first major company in the industry that is committing to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and we are now
beginning the process of developing and validating targets to reduce the Group's climate impact.
On July 22 we closed the acquisition of Stanley Security. We are very pleased that the acquisition is formally completed, and I want to welcome all of Stanley Security's clients and employees into Securitas. Our joint integration preparation work has been solid and we now look forward to accelerating our journey together and immediately executing on our value creation plan.
Bringing together our two great companies is an industry-defining event. Combining our talent and expertise sets us up for stronger growth thanks to an outstanding client offering and we expect significant margin enhancement opportunities going forward. Our shared values and high sustainability ambitions enable us to utilize our potential to provide tech-enabled security solutions that create long-term value for our clients, our shareholders and the society at large.
We are looking forward to update you on the strategy and announce new financial targets at the Investor update on August 24. We are welcoming all our shareholders to participate on this exciting journey in the rights issue connected to the transaction which will be launched in September.
Magnus Ahlqvist President and CEO

Organic sales growth, %

APRIL–JUNE 2022
Organic sales growth was –1 percent (8). Similar to the first quarter, the decline was primarily related to the business unit Guarding due to the terminated security contract within the healthcare client segment, the termination of the airport security contract in Hawaii and lower level of corona-related extra sales. Successful price increase campaigns and good commercial activity offset some of the negative impacts. The installation business within Electronic Security improved in the second quarter and contributed to organic sales growth, despite continued pressure from global supply chain issues and labor shortage. Organic sales growth in Pinkerton was continuously strong.
Security solutions and electronic security sales represented MSEK 2 586 (1 990) or 19 percent (17) of total sales in the business segment with real sales growth of 10 percent (10) in the second quarter.
The operating margin was 7.4 percent (7.1), supported by all business units. The operating margin in Guarding was supported by the finalized business transformation program and the above-mentioned contract terminations at below average operating margins, whereas lower level of corona-related extra sales and the impact of labor pressure hampered. Electronic Security had a strong operating margin development driven by business mix and solid operational execution. Pinkerton performed well and was supported by strong sales leverage. Critical Infrastructure Services also improved the operating margin, supported by active portfolio management.
The Swedish krona exchange rate weakened against the US dollar, which had a positive impact on operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was 3 percent (37) in the second quarter.
Operating margin, %

The installation business within Electronic Security hampered organic sales growth in the first six months, negatively impacted by global supply chain shortages and labor shortage mainly in the first quarter. The client retention rate was 85 percent (90).
Security solutions and electronic security sales represented MSEK 4 875 (4 029) or 19 percent (18) of total sales in the business segment with real sales growth of 6 percent (6) in the first half year.
The operating margin was 6.9 percent (6.5), supported by all business units.

Electronic Security had a strong operating margin development driven by business mix and solid operational execution. Pinkerton performed well and the margin was supported by strong sales leverage. Critical Infrastructure Services also improved the operating margin, supported by active portfolio management.

* As of April 1, 2022, Securitas has adopted IAS 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies for our operations in Türkiye. When calculating the key ratios for organic sales growth percentage and real change percentage, the impact from the remeasurement is treated similarly to currency change. The calculated key ratio percentages are thus comparable as to how these were calculated before the adoption of IAS 29. The impact from IAS 29 is a remeasurement of sales with MSEK 11 and a remeasurement of operating income before amortization of MSEK 1 for the second quarter and the first six months 2022.

In April 2022, the maturity was extended by all banks to 2027. It was undrawn on June 30, 2022. On July 6, 2022, another key relationship bank joined the facility under the accordion option, increasing the number of banks to eleven and the size of the facility to MEUR 1 029.
The Commercial Paper Program amounts to MSEK 5 000. On June 30, 2022, MSEK 1 480 was drawn.
On December 8, 2021, Securitas signed a Multicurrency Term Facilities Agreement with SEB. There are two facilities totaling MUSD 3 300. The purpose of the facilities is to fund the acquisition of Stanley Security. The facilities were subsequently partly syndicated among seven core relationship banks, BBVA, CIC, Citi, Commerzbank, Danske, ING and Unicredit. Securitas plans to refinance the facilities by a mix of long-term debt financing and a rights issue which we expect to launch in September. The rights issue will amount to the SEK equivalent of approximately MUSD 915 as previously communicated.
On July 26, 2022, Standard & Poor's downgraded Securitas credit rating to BBB- with stable outlook after the completion of the Stanley Security acquisition.
Further information regarding financial instruments and credit facilities is provided in note 9.
Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 23 652 (20 800 as of December 31, 2021). The translation of foreign assets and liabilities into Swedish kronor increased shareholders' equity by MSEK 1 926. Refer to the statement of comprehensive income on page 19 for further information.
The total number of shares amounted to 365 058 897 (365 058 897) as of June 30, 2022. Refer to page 22 for further information.

1) Refers to business segment with main responsibility for the acquisition.
2) Refers to voting rights for acquisitions in the form of share purchase agreements. For asset deals no voting rights are stated.
3) Estimated annual sales.
4) Purchase price paid/received plus acquired/divested net debt but excluding any deferred considerations.
5) Related to other acquisitions for the period and updated previous year acquisition calculations for the following entities: Supreme Security Systems, the US, Dansk Sikkerhedsservice, Denmark, DAK, Türkiye and Digital Alarm Technologies, Singapore. Related also to divestitures of Securitas Teleassistance (additional payment), France, Securitas Egypt (additional payment) and Securitas Electronic Security India (asset deal), as well as to deferred considerations paid in Sweden, Türkiye and Portugal.
6) Deferred considerations have been recognized mainly based on an assessment of the future profitability development in the acquired entities for an agreed period. The net of new deferred considerations, payments made from previously recognized deferred considerations and revaluation of deferred considerations in the Group was MSEK –1. Total deferred considerations, short-term and long-term, in the Group's balance sheet amount to MSEK 130.
7) Cash flow from acquisitions and divestitures amounts to MSEK –38, which is the sum of enterprise value MSEK –4 and acquisition-related costs paid MSEK –34.
All acquisition calculations are finalized no later than one year after the acquisition is made. Transactions with non-controlling interests are specified in the statement of changes in shareholders' equity on page 22. Transaction costs and revaluation of deferred considerations can be found in note 6 on page 28.
On December 8, 2021, Securitas announced it had signed an agreement to acquire the Electronic Security Solutions business from Stanley Black & Decker Inc. ("Stanley Security") for a purchase price of MUSD 3 200 on a debt and cash free basis. All regulatory conditions were approved as communicated on July 14, 2022. The transaction was completed on July 22, 2022, and consolidated into Securitas as of the same date.
For critical estimates and judgments, provisions and contingent liabilities refer to the 2021 Annual Report and to note 12 on page 32. 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.
The Portuguese competition authority has completed the previously communicated investigation regarding
alleged violations by several Portuguese security companies, among them Securitas – Servicos E Tecnologia de Seguranca SA, of anti-trust regulations for public tenders in Portugal. The Portuguese competition authority has fined Securitas MEUR 10.
Securitas has carefully assessed the information and will appeal the decision, and we do not expect any material impact on the result or the financial position of the Group.
A new global function has been established: Securitas Digital, led by Martin Althén. Hillevi Agranius has been appointed Chief Information Officer
(CIO) and added as a new member of the Group Management team. The changes were effective July 1, 2022.
Risk management is necessary for Securitas to be able to fulfill its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives. Securitas' risks fall into three main categories; contract and acquisition risks, operational assignment risks and financial risks. Securitas' approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report for 2021.
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. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgments under different circumstances and conditions.
Securitas as well as other companies continue to face the challenge of the corona pandemic. As disclosed in earlier reports and further in this interim report, the corona pandemic has in different ways impacted the Group's result, and poses an additional challenge when making estimates and judgments. It is still unclear when certain service levels will return to normal levels and to what extent any costs will be further supported by government
grants. With government support measures in the form of cash grants and deferred payment schemes being unwound, the valuation of accounts receivable remains another key topic in relation to estimates and judgments in preparing the statement of income and balance sheet as well as disclosures. Further, risks related to the general macro-economic environment still remain including the recent increase in inflation and interest rates, supply chain issues and it is still unclear what type of impact the corona pandemic will have in terms of economic development and recovery of the different markets and geographies in which we operate including potential labor shortages.
On July 22, 2022, Securitas completed the acquisition of Stanley Security. The acquisition and integration of new companies always carries certain risks. The profitability of the acquired company may be lower than expected and/or certain costs in connection with the acquisition may be higher than expected.
Our transformation programs are progressing with good momentum both in Europe and Ibero-America. The implementation and rollout of new systems and platforms to support this transformation naturally carries a risk in terms of potential disruptions to our operations that could result in a negative impact on our result, cash flow and financial position. This is mitigated by solid change management and a phased rollout on a country by country basis over a longer period.
The geopolitical situation in the world has changed radically with Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022. We have no operations either in Russia or in Ukraine but we follow the development closely and contribute to a safer society where we can.
For the forthcoming six-month period, the financial impact of the corona pandemic, the acquisition and integration of Stanley Security, the implementation of new platforms as part of our transformation programs, as well as certain items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report for 2021 and, where applicable, under the heading Other significant events above, may vary from the current financial estimates and provisions made by management. This could affect the Group's profitability and financial position.
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.
The Parent Company's income amounted to MSEK 862 (647) and mainly relates to license fees and other income from subsidiaries.
Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK 5 299 (1 740). The increase compared with last year is mainly explained by higher dividends received from subsidiaries. Income before taxes amounted to MSEK 5 601 (1 908).
The Parent Company's non-current assets amounted to MSEK 51 725 (46 173 as of December 31, 2021) and mainly comprise shares in subsidiaries of MSEK 49 804 (44 932 as of December 31, 2021). Current assets amounted to MSEK 5 894 (5 350 as of December 31, 2021) of which liquid funds accounted for MSEK 767 (1 070 as of December 31, 2021).
Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 33 435 (29 448 as of December 31, 2021). A dividend of MSEK 1 604 (1 460) was paid to the shareholders in May 2022.
The Parent Company's liabilities and untaxed reserves amounted to MSEK 24 184 (22 075 as of December 31, 2021) and mainly consist of interest-bearing debt.
For further information, refer to the Parent Company's condensed financial statements on page 33.
The Board of Directors and the President and CEO certify that the interim report gives a true and fair overview of the Parent Company's and Group's operations, their financial position and results of operations, and describes significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and other companies in the Group.

This is a translation from the Swedish original
Securitas AB (publ), corporate identity number 556302-7241
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Securitas AB as at June 30, 2022 and for the six months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

This comprises on-site and mobile guarding, which is services with the same revenue recognition pattern. Revenue is recognized over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the customers. Such services cannot be reperformed.
This comprises two broad categories regarding security solutions and electronic security.
Security 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 customer site. The revenue recognition pattern is over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the customers. A security solution normally constitutes one performance obligation.
Electronic security consists of the sale of alarm installations comprising design and installation (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 security 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 customers. 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 is also to a limited extent product sales (alarms and components) without any design or installation. The revenue recognition is at a point in time (upon delivery).
Other comprises mainly corporate risk management services that are either recognized over time or at a point in time as well as other ancillary business.
Other operating income consists mainly of trade mark fees for the use of the Securitas brand name.
The disaggregation of revenue by segment is shown in the tables below. Total sales agree to total sales in the segment overviews.

The calculations below relate to the period January–June 2022.
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus interest income (rolling 12 months) in relation to interest expenses (rolling 12 months). Calculation: (6 463 + 46) / 443 = 14.7
Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of operating income before amortization.
Calculation: 798 / 3 212 = 25%
Free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted income (operating income before amortization adjusted for financial income and expenses, excluding revaluation of financial instruments, and current taxes). Calculation: –191 / (3 212 – 156 + 0 – 720) = –8%
Free cash flow (rolling 12 months) in relation to closing balance net debt. Calculation: 2 635 / 18 409 = 0.14
Net debt in relation to operating income after amortization (rolling 12 months) plus amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (rolling 12 months) and depreciation (rolling 12 months).
Calculation: 18 409 / (5 238 + 284 + 2 818) = 2.2
Operating capital employed as a percentage of total sales adjusted for the full-year sales of acquired and divested entities. Calculation: 14 050 / 121 310 = 12%
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus items affecting comparability (rolling 12 months) as a percentage of the average balance of operating capital employed. Calculation: (6 463 – 836) / ((14 050 + 9 908) / 2) = 47%
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus items affecting comparability (rolling 12 months) as a percentage of closing balance of capital employed.
Calculation: (6 463 – 836) / 42 061 = 13%
Net debt in relation to shareholders' equity. Calculation: 18 409 / 23 652 = 0.78
