COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The organic sales growth was 1 percent and reflected the challenging macroeconomic situation that prevails in Europe, and the security market in countries such as France, Portugal and Spain continues to deteriorate. The US economy seems to be in a slow and gradual recovery mode. Latin America continued to show strong organic sales growth.

Margin improvement driven by cost savings

The operating margin improved in all divisions compared to previous year, mainly driven by the various restructuring and cost savings actions taken in 2012. We achieved cost savings according to our restructuring plan.

Sales of security solutions and technology gradually increases

In 2012 the sales of security solutions and technology represented approximately 6 percent of Group sales. We have set a target to triple this share of sales by the end of 2015. We continued to increase our investments in resources within security solutions and technology and in the first half of 2013 we were at 7 percent.

Healthcare reform in the USA delayed

The main aspects impacting Securitas of the US law mandating employers to offer health care benefits to full-time employees has been delayed for one year and will apply first as of 2015. This will give us more time to comply with the new legislation, and allow us to progressively adjust our offering to our clients.

The organic sales growth continued to be negative in Spain and Portugal, showing –11 percent in Spain in the second quarter, which is the result of a continuously weak market and harsh macro economic conditions.

The operating margin was 5.3 percent (5.2). The positive development was mainly explained by the Latin American countries.

Spain also had positive effects from sales within security solutions and technology as well as from the outcome of the collective bargaining agreement but was pressured by portfolio losses and increased social payroll taxes. Last year the operating margin in Spain was positively impacted by the repayment of old outstanding receivables from public sector customers. In Latin America, the operating margin development was positive in most countries.

Other significant events

For critical estimates and judgments, items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities refer to pages 84–85, 98–99 and pages 115–117 in the Annual Report 2012.

Spain – tax audit

The Spanish tax authority has in connection with an audit of Securitas Spain, challenged a tax exemption for the demerger of the Spanish Systems company in connection with the Securitas AB's distribution of the shares in Securitas Systems AB to its shareholders and listing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 2006.

Securitas has appealed the tax assessment received in July 2013 to the court, Tribunal Económico Administrativo Central. If finally upheld by Spanish courts, the resolution by the Spanish tax authorities would result in tax of MEUR 18, including interest up to June 30, 2013.

Securitas believes it has acted in accordance with applicable law and will defend its position in court. It may take a long time until a final judgment is made.

USA – the events of September 11, 2001

The last major outstanding legal issue in the September 11 case was decided by the Court in New York, NY, USA on August 1, 2013. In its judgment the Court dismissed plaintiffs claim for damages from Globe and the other defendants for the destruction of the World Trade Center properties. It is anticipated that the judgment will be appealed by plaintiff. Unless appealed the September 11 case will be closed.

Risks and uncertainties

Risk management is necessary in order for Securitas to be able to fulfill its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives. Securitas' risks fall into three main categories; contract risk, operational assignment risk and financial risks. Securitas approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report for 2012.

In the preparation of financial reports the Board of Directors and Group Management are required to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments impact the statement of income and balance sheet as well as disclosures such as contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments under different circumstances and conditions.

For the forthcoming six-month period, the financial impact of certain previously recognized items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report for 2012 and if applicable above 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.

Accounting principles

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Securitas' consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The most important accounting principles under IFRS, which is the basis for the preparation of this interim report, can be found in note 2 on pages 75 to 81 in the Annual Report for 2012. The accounting principles are also available on the Group's website www.securitas.com under the section Investor Relations – Financials – Accounting Principles.

The Parent Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The most important accounting principles used by the Parent Company can be found in note 39 on page 123 in the Annual Report for 2012.

There have been no other changes than the changes described below in the Group's or the Parent Company's accounting principles compared to the accounting principles described in note 2 and note 39 in the Annual Report for 2012.

Restatement of segment comparatives

Due to organizational changes within the Group, segment comparatives have been restated as of January 1, 2013 as described below.

Security Services North America has been affected by operations within security consulting in the Netherlands that have been moved from the segment Other to Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management within Security Services North America. The previous segments Security Services Europe and Mobile and Monitoring have been merged into one segment named Security Services Europe. Furthermore, operations in Spain and Portugal have been moved from the previous segment Mobile and Monitoring to Security Services Ibero-America, while operations within security consulting in Belgium have been moved from the segment Other to Security Services Europe.

The organizational changes have impacted the distribution of sales and operating result between the business segments as well as the elimination of intra-group sales but have not had any impact on the total sales, organic sales growth, operating income nor operating margin for the Securitas Group.

Effect of amended and revised IFRS that are effective as of 2013

IAS 1 (amended)

IAS 1 (amended) has been be adopted by Securitas as of the financial year 2013. The amendments to the standard require the items in other comprehensive income to be split into two categories: items that will not be reclassified to the statement of income and items that subsequently may be reclassified to the statement of income. Taxes are disclosed separately for each category. For further information refer to the statement of comprehensive income and note 7.

IAS 19 (revised)

IAS 19 (revised) has been adopted by the Securitas Group as of the financial year 2013. The impact on the Group from the revised standard is that interest cost and expected return on assets have been replaced by a net interest cost which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit obligation (or asset). Further, past service costs are recognized immediately instead of being accrued over the vesting period. The effect on the Group's financial statements is that the costs recognized for 2011 and 2012 related to defined benefits to employees increase. The actual benefits and the cash contributions for these plans are not impacted by IAS 19 (revised).

When restating the comparative years 2012 and 2011 the increase of these costs are MSEK –58 before taxes and MSEK –37 after taxes for 2012. For 2011 the increase is MSEK –50 before taxes and MSEK –30 after taxes. The increase in costs affects production expenses as well as selling and administrative expenses in operating income. For further information refer to note 8.

According to IAS 19 (revised) it will no longer be possible to apply the so called corridor method. Since Securitas has not applied the corridor method, this change will have no effect on the Group's financial statements

None of the other published standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the Group's financial year 2013 are assessed to have any material impact on the Group's financial statements.

Signatures of the Board of Directors

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.

Review report

Translation of the Swedish original

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act.

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013 for Securitas AB. 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.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report 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, ISA, 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.

Conclusion

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 with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

Note 8 Restated segment comparatives due to organizational changes and adoption of IAS 19 (revised)

The tables below show restated comparative figures for the business segments and for the Securitas Group. The restatement is done to reflect the organizational changes in the Group that took place on January 1, 2013 and to consider the impact from the adoption of IAS 19 (revised) that took place on the same date.

Security Services North America has been affected by operations within security consulting in the Netherlands that have been moved from the segment Other to Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management within Security Services North America. The previous segments Security Services Europe and Mobile and Monitoring have been merged into one segment named Security Services Europe. Furthermore, operations in Spain and Portugal have been moved from the previous segment Mobile and Monitoring to Security Services Ibero-America, while operations within security consulting in Belgium have been moved from the segment Other to Security Services Europe.

When restating the comparative years 2012 and 2011 due to the adoption of IAS 19 (revised), the increase of costs are MSEK –58 before taxes and MSEK –37 after taxes for 2012. For 2011 the increase was MSEK –50 before taxes and MSEK –30 after taxes. The increase in costs affects production expenses as well as selling and administrative expenses in operating income. The distribution of this impact between the business segments and for the Securitas Group as a whole is disclosed in the tables below. The line "of which impact from adoption of IAS 19 (revised)" shows the increase in cost compared to the previous version of IAS 19.
