COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The real sales growth continued to be strong also in the third quarter amounting to 13 percent, and to 12 percent in the first nine months. The organic sales growth reached 4 percent in the quarter and we are gaining market shares organically in North and South America. The loss of a few important contracts during the first half year 2011 has hampered the growth in Security Services Europe.

The operating margin remained stable in Security Services North America, Security Services Ibero-America and in Mobile and Monitoring, and the real change of the operating income in these segments compared to previous year was positive and developed well. In Security Services Europe, the loss of a few major contracts and difficulties to manage the balance between wage increases and price increases have resulted in a non-satisfactory development. A variety of actions are taken to restore the performance in Europe, and among others further reductions of indirect costs are made in a number of countries in Europe.

Our strategy to focus and specialize in security services, and improving our ability to advise and optimize our customers security solutions, is progressing. After the attempt to acquire Niscayah in a public bid process, we are instead growing our system integration and technology resources organically and by short-listing potential acquisition targets. The first important acquisition along this route was made in Turkey in September.

JULY–SEPTEMBER 2011

Sales and market development

Sales amounted to MSEK 16,628 (15,327) and organic sales growth was 4 percent (2). The improvement in organic sales growth was supported mainly by the development in Security Services North America, Mobile and Monitoring and Security Services Ibero-America, and relates to both growth in the contract portfolio as well as an increase in extra sales. In Security Services Europe, organic sales growth declined although the majority of countries showed positive organic sales growth.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 13 percent (6).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 947 (992) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a decrease of –1 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 5.7 percent (6.5). The operating margin in Security Services Europe decreased as a consequence of contracts lost during the first half year 2011 and difficulties to manage the wage cost increases in primarily France and Sweden. The operating margin declined slightly in Security Services North America, as well as in Mobile and Monitoring, while Security Services Ibero-America's operating margin was flat. The acquisitions of Reliance Security Services and Chubb in the United Kingdom, along with Security Consultants Group in the USA, diluted the operating margin by –0.1 percent.

The price adjustments in the Group were behind the total wage cost increases in the third quarter.

Operating income after amortization

Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK –56 (–40).

Acquisition related costs impacted the quarter by MSEK –22 (–8). Restructuring and integration costs for Reliance and Chubb in the United Kingdom amounted to MSEK –15. Further information is provided in note 4.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –129 (–124).

Income before taxes

Income before taxes was MSEK 740 (820). The real change was –6 percent.

Taxes, net income and earnings per share

The Group's tax rate was 29.9 percent (29.9).

Net income was MSEK 519 (575). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.42 (1.57).

Group development

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2011

Sales and market development

Sales amounted to MSEK 47,031 (45,622) and organic sales growth was 4 percent (0). A positive development was seen in Security Services North America, Mobile and Monitoring and Security Services Ibero-America. In Security Services Europe, the majority of the countries showed positive organic sales growth, but a few countries were negative due to a few large contract losses in the first half year of 2011.

In the third quarter Securitas business segment Security Services North America won a contract with 32 airports in Canada worth MSEK 3,130 over a five and a half year period, effective as of November 1, 2011.

Securitas organic sales growth in the first nine months is estimated to be ahead of the market in North America and below market growth in Europe.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 12 percent (3).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 2,407 (2,668) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a decrease of –2 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 5.1 percent (5.8). In Security Services Europe, the operating margin was negatively impacted mainly by the loss of a few large contracts, a price competitive environment and a discrepancy between price increases and wage cost increases. The acquisitions of Reliance Security Services and Chubb in the United Kingdom, along with Paragon Systems and Security Consultants Group in the USA, diluted the operating margin by –0.2 percent.

Operating income after amortization

Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK –154 (–117).

July–September2011

Organic sales growth was 0 percent (4) in the third quarter. The business segment showed a diversified picture, where countries such as Germany, Norway and Turkey had strong positive organic sales growth. Some countries, such as Belgium and the United Kingdom, are struggling due to contract losses leading to negative organic sales growth.

The operating margin was 4.3 percent (5.8). The loss of major contracts represented –0.6 percent of the decline, acquisition related margin dilution –0.3 percent and discrepancy between price and wage cost increases represented –0.6 percent. The discrepancy between price and wage cost increases is primarily deriving from France and Sweden.

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

January–September 2011

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (3) in the first nine months. Most countries had positive organic sales growth, but the negative impact from some countries hampered the development. The significant negative organic sales growth in Belgium and the United Kingdom is due to large contract losses as previously reported. The annual impact on sales from the contract losses is estimated to –3 percent in the business segment. The price pressure in the security market is fierce in many countries and especially in France.

The operating margin was 3.8 percent (5.1). The lost contracts had a negative effect on the operating margin and together with the transition and reduction of personnel, the total negative impact on the operating margin was –0.5 percent in the business segment. The acquisitions of Reliance Security Services and Chubb in the United Kingdom diluted the operating margin by –0.3 percent compared to the same period last year. The remaining deviation of –0.5 percent is due to discrepancies between price and wage cost increases, primarily in France and Sweden.

To continue with the specialization, technology and added value strategy, to prioritize profitability when managing the price increases in relation to wage cost increases and to further reduce indirect costs, are all important measures to manage the development in Europe.

The euro exchange rate had a slight negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was –18 percent for the first nine months.

The client retention rate was slightly below 90 percent. The employee turnover rate was 29 percent (27).

July–September 2011

Organic sales growth was 4 percent (3). In the Mobile operation, most countries had positive organic sales growth and countries such as Belgium, Germany and Norway were above average. In the Monitoring operation, all countries except Belgium and Spain had positive organic sales growth.

The operating margin was 13.8 percent (14.5). In the Mobile operation, the operating margin was negatively impacted by increased fuel costs. Also, the operating margin in the third quarter 2010 has proven to be a strong comparative. In the Monitoring operation, the operating margin was negatively impacted by increased indirect costs. The real change in operating income in the business segment was 2 percent in the quarter.

January–September 2011

Organic sales growth was 3 percent (2). In the Mobile operation, the improvement in organic sales growth was supported by countries such as Belgium and Norway. In the Monitoring operation, good organic sales growth was seen in Sweden, Norway and Poland while Belgium, France and Spain showed negative organic sales growth.

The operating margin was 11.6 percent (12.2). In the Mobile operation, the operating margin was negatively impacted by primarily increased fuel costs. Also, it was slightly diluted due to the acquisition of Reliance Security Services in the United Kingdom. The strong performance in the third quarter 2010 also impacts the comparative for the period. In the Monitoring operation, the operating margin was negatively affected by restructuring costs in Belgium, France and Spain and due diligence costs related to an acquisition that was not completed. Adjusted for these one off costs, the operating margin in the Monitoring operation improved. The real change in operating income in the business segment was 2 percent in the first nine months.

Capital employed as of September 30, 2011

The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 3,551 (2,587 as of December 31, 2010) corresponding to 5 percent of sales (4 as of December 31, 2010) adjusted for the full year sales figures of acquired units.

Acquisitions decreased operating capital employed by MSEK –318 during the third quarter 2011.

Acquisitions increased consolidated goodwill by MSEK 1,112. Adjusted for positive translation differences of MSEK 194, total goodwill for the Group amounted to MSEK 14,645 (13,339 as of December 31, 2010).

The annual impairment test of all Cash Generating Units (CGU), which is required under IFRS, took place during the third quarter 2011 in conjunction with the business plan process for 2012. None of the CGUs tested for impairment had a carrying amount that exceeded the recoverable amount. Consequently no impairment losses have been recognized in 2011. No impairment losses were recognized in 2010 either.

Acquisitions have increased acquisition related intangible assets by MSEK 423. After amortization of MSEK –154 and positive translation differences of MSEK 17, acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK 1,382 (1,096 as of December 31, 2010).

The return on capital employed was 18 percent (22 as of December 31, 2010).

Financing as of September 30, 2011

The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 10,725 (8,209 as of December 31, 2010). Acquisitions and acquisition related payments increased the Group's net debt by MSEK 1,332, of which purchase price payments accounted for MSEK 1,115, assumed net debt for MSEK 101 and acquisition related costs paid accounted for MSEK 116. The Group's net debt increased by MSEK 116 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 2011.

The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.11 (0.20).

The main capital market instruments drawn as of the end of September 2011 were eight bonds issued under the Group's Euro Medium Term Note Program. These comprised the 6.50 percent MEUR 500 Eurobond loan maturing in 2013, and seven floating rates notes (FRN's). Four of these FRN's are denominated in SEK, two for MSEK 1,000 and two for MSEK 500. The two for MSEK 1,000 were originally due to mature in 2012. However, one of them was bought back in the third quarter 2011 and a new longer dated note was issued in its place. The replacement note will mature in the fourth quarter 2013. The two FRN's for MSEK 500 are maturing in 2014.

Another two FRN's are denominated in USD, one for MUSD 40 and one for MUSD 62. Both of these loans mature in 2015. There is also a MEUR 45 FRN maturing in 2014.

In addition to the above, Securitas has access to committed bank financing through a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) which was signed with 12 Swedish and international banks in January 2011. The RCF comprises two respective tranches of MUSD 550 and MEUR 420 (MUSD 1,100 in total), and matures in 2016. At the end of the third quarter 2011 there was a total of MUSD 150 drawn on the facility, leaving MUSD 950 available and undrawn. There is also a RCF of MUSD 100 maturing in 2012 for issuance of letters of credit only.

The Group also has access to uncommitted bank borrowings and a MSEK 5,000 Swedish Commercial Paper Program for short-term borrowing needs.

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.

Further information on the credit facilities as of September 30, 2011 is provided in note 8.

The interest cover ratio amounted to 6.5 (7.1).

Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 8,967 (8,938 as of December 31, 2010). The translation of foreign assets and liabilities into Swedish kronor increased shareholders' equity by MSEK 98 after taking into account net investment hedging of MSEK –78 and MSEK 176 before net investment hedging. Refer to the statement of comprehensive income on page 17 for further information.
