COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The organic sales growth was weak at 0 percent in the second quarter. Slow organic sales growth in North America, severe market conditions in Spain and Portugal and our determination to manage the price and wage balance in France are the main reasons.

For the first half year, we have achieved price increases on par with wage cost increases, and I remain confident that this will be the case also for the full year of 2012. The operating margin in the second quarter was 0.5 percent behind previous year. The two main reasons were difficult market conditions in Spain and the margin decline in the US operations. In the federal government business in North America lower extra sales has, in combination with an integration process more difficult than planned, resulted in a decline of the operating margin.

The free cash flow improved significantly compared to the first six months last year, but we will continue to be restrictive on acquisitions until we have restored the financial target of free cash flow to net debt of 0.20.

Market conditions in primarily Spain are deteriorating more rapidly than expected and we leave contracts due to uncertainty of customers' ability to pay for the security services. In addition, the Spanish government has decided, as of August 1, 2012, to withdraw important subsidies on payroll taxes for certain categories of employees which will further increase our labor costs, and we are investigating what actions could be taken to mitigate the imposed cost increases. Thanks to the strengthened position in technology security solutions we are well equipped to face the harsh market environment in Spain and Portugal.

april–june 2012

Sales and market development

Sales amounted to MSEK 16 969 (15 628) and organic sales growth was 0 percent (3). In Security Services North America, the impact from lower growth in a few customer segments hampered the organic sales growth. Security Services Europe contributed the most to the Group's organic sales growth, despite a negative impact from France. In Mobile and Monitoring the organic sales growth was positive but lower than last year, when the growth was fairly strong. In Security Services Ibero-America the organic sales growth was negative due to the development in Spain and Portugal, although in Latin America the organic sales growth was 22 percent.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 4 percent (13).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 732 (747) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a decrease of –6 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 4.3 percent (4.8). The main reason for the decline compared to last year relates to Security Services North America. Last year, the settlement in a client dispute impacted positively on the Group's operating margin by 0.2 percent. The operating margin in Security Services Europe improved. In Mobile and Monitoring the operating margin declined, as well as in Security Services Ibero-America, where the operating margin decreased due to the development in Spain and Portugal.

The price adjustments in the Group were on par with wage cost increases in the second quarter.

The organic sales growth was flat in Security Services Europe, while Security Services North America, Mobile and Monitoring and Security Services Ibero-America had lower organic sales growth compared to last year. In Security Services North America and Mobile and Monitoring, the impact from negative net change in the contract portfolio hampered the organic sales growth. In Security Services Ibero-America the main reasons for the lower organic sales growth were previously lost or terminated contracts, primarily in Spain and Portugal. The organic sales growth in Latin America was 23 percent.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 6 percent (11).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 1 466 (1 460) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a decrease of –3 percent.

April–June 2012

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (4) in the quarter. The organic sales growth was hampered by negative organic sales growth in the customer segments defense and aerospace, federal government services and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations. The sales of specialized security solutions as part of total sales amounted to 11 percent (7).

The operating margin was 4.6 percent (6.0). Last year the operating margin was positively impacted by a settlement in a client dispute of 0.4 percent. The lower top line growth had a negative impact on the operating margin and Pinkerton C&I results were impacted by negative results in China. The main reason for the operating margin decline was the federal government services, where lower extra sales in combination with an integration process not turning out as expected resulted in a negative operating margin that will continue to be below our expectations for the remainder of the year.

The U.S. dollar exchange rate has strengthened and thus had a positive effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor. The real change was –24 percent in the quarter.

January–June 2012

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (4) in the first six months. The organic sales growth was hampered by negative organic sales growth in the customer segments defense and aerospace, federal government services and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations. The loss of the large contract with an automotive customer in the U.S. was offset by the large airport security contract started in Canada. The sales of specialized security solutions as part of total sales amounted to 10 percent (6).

The operating margin was 4.6 percent (5.7). Last year the operating margin was positively impacted by a settlement in a client dispute of 0.2 percent. The lower top line growth and weak first six months in the Pinkerton C&I business had a negative impact on the operating margin. In the customer segment federal government services, lower extra sales in combination with difficulties in the integration process has resulted in a negative operating margin that will continue to be below our expectations for the remainder of the year.

The U.S. dollar exchange rate has strengthened and thus had a positive effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor. The real change was –17 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was 90 percent. The employee turnover rate in the U.S. was 46 percent (44).

April–June 2012

Organic sales growth was 2 percent (0) in the quarter. The development in organic sales growth derived mainly from Belgium, Germany and the Nordic countries, while France had a negative organic sales growth of –7 percent. The contract with the European Parliament worth approximately MSEK 175 (MEUR 20) annually started in April. The renewed security contract at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, worth approximately MSEK 600 over a three year period, started in June.

The operating margin was 3.5 percent (3.1). The development was supported by a positive price and wage balance in primarily France and Germany. Belgium also had a strong quarter. The United Kingdom, which diluted the margins last year, is now contributing to the improved operating result.

The euro exchange rate had only a small negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was 22 percent in the quarter.

January–June 2012

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (1) in the period and supported mainly by Germany and the Nordic countries. France was negative with –4 percent. In France, the price campaign has been executed successfully, but has had a certain negative effect on sales, but even so it has paid off, and France has contributed to the improved operating income compared to last year. The main contributor to the improved operating income was the United Kingdom, and the operating margin was 3.7 percent (3.5) for the business segment.

The euro exchange rate had a negligible negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was 15 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was 89 percent. The employee turnover was 26 percent (27**).

April–June 2012

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (5). The countries in the Mobile operation showed a mixed picture in the quarter in terms of organic sales growth. In Belgium and Germany the organic sales growth was strong. The Nordic countries were supported by price increases, but at the same time negatively affected by the loss of a few large contracts. In the Monitoring operation, organic sales growth was primarily driven by countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

The operating margin was 10.0 percent (10.6). The operating margin in the Mobile operation was negatively impacted by weak extra sales and delayed synergies from acquisitions in France and the Netherlands. In the Monitoring operation the operating margin was flat compared to last year, although the operating margin last year was burdened by one-off costs.

The real change in operating income in the business segment was –1 percent.

January–June 2012

Organic sales growth was 2 percent (3), mainly driven by countries such as Belgium, Germany, Spain and Sweden in the Mobile operation. Contract terminations had a negative impact in the period.

April–June 2012

Organic sales growth was –5 percent (11) in the quarter. The negative development relates mainly to Spain and Portugal due to rapidly deteriorating market conditions. As previously reported, contracts with low margin in Spain worth approximately MSEK 450 (MEUR 50) in annual sales, were terminated by the end of the first quarter. In addition to terminations or contract reductions and less extra sales, uncertain client credit worthiness has necessitated the termination of contracts. The organic sales growth in Spain was –19 percent in the second quarter. In Latin America, the organic sales growth was 22 percent primarily driven by price increases in Argentina and good development in Uruguay and Peru.

The operating margin was 4.9 percent (6.1). The operating margin deteriorated in Spain and Portugal, primarily due to negative leverage from much lower sales. Investments in building a technology platform in Spain also incurred extra costs in the quarter. Repayment of old outstanding accounts receivables from public customers in Spain had a positive impact. In Latin America the operating margin declined, primarily due to high inflation on the cost base in Argentina where price increases are expected in July.

A new law regulating the payroll taxes for employers in Spain will be effective from August 1, removing certain payroll tax subsidies.

The currency exchange rates had a small positive impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was –21 percent in the quarter.

January–June 2012

Organic sales growth was –2 percent (9). The organic sales growth in Spain was –13 percent in the first six months. In Latin America, the organic sales growth was 23 percent primarily driven by price increases in Argentina and good development in Uruguay and Peru.

The operating margin was 4.9 percent (5.8). The operating margin declined in Spain and Portugal, due to negative leverage from much lower sales and a tough price competitive market. Investments in building a technology platform in Spain also impacted the period. Repayment of old outstanding accounts receivables from public customers in Spain had a positive impact. In Latin America the operating margin declined, primarily due to high inflation on the cost base in Argentina where price increases are expected in July.

The currency exchange rates had no impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was –11 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was 83 percent. The employee turnover rate was 38 percent (39**).

Capital employed as of June 30, 2012

The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 3 845 (3 145 as of December 31, 2011) corresponding to 6 percent of sales (5 as of December 31, 2011) adjusted for the full year sales figures of acquired units.

Acquisitions increased operating capital employed by MSEK 91 during the period.

Acquisitions increased consolidated goodwill by MSEK 217. Adjusted for negative translation differences of MSEK –14, total goodwill for the Group amounted to MSEK 14 930 (14 727 as of December 31, 2011).

Acquisitions have increased acquisition related intangible assets by MSEK 165. After amortization of MSEK –131 and negative translation differences of MSEK –6, acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK 1 602 (1 574 as of December 31, 2011).

The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 20 484 (19 554 as of December 31, 2011). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish kronor decreased the Group's capital employed by MSEK –54.

The return on capital employed was 17 percent (17 as of December 31, 2011).

Financing as of June 30, 2012

The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 11 926 (10 349 as of December 31, 2011).

The Group's net debt increased by MSEK 11 due to the translation of net debt in foreign currency to Swedish kronor.

A dividend of MSEK 1 095 (1 095) was paid to the shareholders in May 2012.

The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.15 (0.08).

The main capital market instruments drawn as of the end of June 2012 were twelve bonds issued under the Group's Euro Medium Term Note Program. In addition, Securitas has access to committed bank financing through a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), which comprises two respective tranches of MUSD 550 and MEUR 420 (MUSD 1 100 in total). At the end of the second quarter there was a total of MUSD 75 drawn on the facility, leaving MUSD 1 025 equivalent available and undrawn. The Group also has access to uncommitted bank borrowings and a MSEK 5 000 Swedish Commercial Paper Program for short-term borrowing needs. Further information on the credit facilities as of June 30, 2012 is provided in note 8.

Securitas has ample liquidity headroom under the committed credit facilities in line with established policies, which combined with the strong free cash flow generation means that the future liquidity requirements for the Company's operations are met.

In April 2012, Standard and Poor's retained their rating for Securitas at BBB+ / A–2. They did, however, revise their rating outlook from stable to negative. Standard and Poor's regard the Group's liquidity position as strong.

Refer to the statement of comprehensive income on page 19 for further information.

The total number of outstanding shares amounted to 365 058 897 as of June 30, 2012.

6) Goodwill that is expected to be tax deductible amounts to MSEK –10. The negative amount is related to adjustments of tax deductible goodwill in acquisition calculations that are not yet finalized.

7) 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 and payments made from previously recognized deferred considerations in the Group was MSEK –13. Total deferred considerations, short-term and long-term, in the Group's balance sheet amount to MSEK 591.

8) No non-controlling interests have been accounted for since Securitas has an option to buy the remaining shares and the seller has an option to sell the remaining shares. Consequently, 100 percent of the company is consolidated.

9) Through shareholder agreements and other contractual arrangements Securitas has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of this company so as to obtain benefit from its activities. It is therefore consolidated as a subsidiary.

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 21. Transaction costs and revaluation of deferred considerations can be found in note 4 on page 24.

Germany – claim from Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank in Germany has filed a claim in court against Securitas Finanz Holding GmbH in Germany requesting the company to pay MEUR 12 plus interest in the amount of 5 percent above the base lending rate from February 20, 2006 alleging that Securitas Finanz Holding breached a contract (Letter of comfort) issued in conjunction with a service agreement for cash handling signed with the bank in 2005.

Changes in Group Management

Lucien Meeus has, as of August 8, 2012, left his position as Divisional President Monitoring and member of Group Management. Erik-Jan Jansen has been appointed Divisional President for both the divisions Mobile and Monitoring.

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 2011.

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 2011 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.

Review report

Translation of the Swedish original

We have reviewed this report for the period January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 for Securitas AB (publ). 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 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.

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.
