Intrum Justitia is disclosing the information herein pursuant to the Securities Markets Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication at 07:00 a.m. CET on Tuesday, February 5, 2013.
Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung
Intrum Justitia ends 2012 with a good fourth quarter. Reported operating earnings increased by 1 percent while operating earnings excluding revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and adjusted for currency effects rose by 22 percent compared with the yearearlier period. Organic growth was favorable and amounted to 7 percent for the quarter. Investments in purchased debt in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 753 M, an increase of 51 percent compared with the preceding year.
We are also pleased with our financial development over 2012 as a whole, with the net profit of SEK 584 M being the highest in the Group's history, despite items affecting comparability for revaluations of portfolios and impairments. Our financial flexibility is strong with available credits exceeding SEK 3 billion and well-diversified borrowing with an even maturity structure. For the 2012 financial year, the Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 5.00 per share – an increase of 11 percent compared with 2011.
The Financial Services service line enjoyed a favorable development during 2012. Collections for the debt portfolios as a whole developed well. The return on debt portfolios amounted to 17 percent for 2012 as a whole, including a negative effect of 2 percentage points from a revaluation affecting comparability in Spain and Germany. Growth in Financial Services remains very good, driven by increasing investments in purchased debt. The level of investment in debt portfolios reached slightly more than SEK 2 billion for 2012, corresponding to a 12 percent increase compared with the preceding year and almost a doubling compared with the investment level in 2010.
The Credit Management service line had a stable development in the fourth quarter and over the 2012 full-year. The operating margin was 25 percent for 2012, a comparable level to 2011, despite considerable increases in costs for cases being pursued through the legal system.
In our regions, we continue to have very favorable development in Northern Europe, where the increase in investment levels in purchased debt and good cost control have contributed to strong revenue growth and improved profitability. In Central Europe, we have a stable trend throughout the region with the exception of the German operations, where items affecting comparability were recognized in the quarter in the form of revaluations and impairments of SEK 69 M. Over the year, we have implemented extensive personnel reductions and appointed a new management team to establish the conditions for profitable growth in Germany. In Western Europe, we have an uncertain macroeconomic situation in several countries in the region, which has affected margin development since we have had a hesitant stance regarding investment in purchased debt. Price pressure has also affected Western Europe negatively although, thanks to good cost efficiency, the region is able to report acceptable profitability for 2012.
Despite a continued uncertain economic trend, we take a positive view on Intrum Justitia's development over the next few years. The Group has a strong foundation in its efficient and profitable Credit Management operations. We see favorable growth opportunities in purchased debt, where we have a very well-diversified portfolio with close relations to a broad base of salespeople in several different sectors and geographical regions. In addition, we believe in good long-term potential for extending our offering of financial services prior to an invoice maturing for payment. Over the past six months, we have therefore launched factoring services in Sweden and Finland and in 2013 we intend to continue extending the Group's drive in financial services early in the payment chain.

Revenues and earnings
October-December 2012
The increase in revenues by 1 percent in the fourth quarter consists of organic growth of 7 percent, acquisition effects of 2 percent, revaluation of purchased debt of a negative 4 percent and a negative currency effect of 4 percent. The increase in organic growth is primarily driven by the higher level of investment in purchased debt. Operating earnings improved by 1 percent in the fourth quarter, although, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 22 percent. The improvement in operating earnings excluding revaluations is mainly attributable to the favorable growth in purchased debt, which is highly profitable. As communicated previously, the fourth quarter included items affecting comparability in Germany of SEK 69 M, of which revaluations account for SEK 52 M and the impairment of an IT platform for SEK 17 M. The fourth quarter of 2011 was burdened with costs of SEK 8 M involving provisions for the closure of the operations in Latvia and Lithuania. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group's regions and service lines is provided below.
January-December 2012
The increase in revenues by 3 percent for the full-year consists of organic growth of 6 percent, acquisition effects of 2 percent, revaluation of purchased debt of a negative 3 percent and a negative currency effect of 2 percent. Operating earnings improved by 1 percent over the full-year, although, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 16 percent. Revaluations affected the full-year earnings negatively by SEK 83 M, primarily due to the German revaluation of SEK 52 M in the fourth quarter and a revaluation of SEK 42 M in Spain in the first quarter due to a legal case being lost.
Net financial items
Net financial items for the quarter amounted to a negative SEK 45 M (34). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items by SEK 1 M (3) and other financial items had a negative effect of SEK 7 M (18).
Net financial items for the full-year amounted to a negative SEK 150 M (115). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK 4 M (8), and other financial items by a negative SEK 27 M (45).
Compared with 2011, net financial items for 2012 have been affected negatively by higher average borrowing, but positively by other financial expenses being lower. Other financial expenses for 2011 included non-recurring expenses arising in connection with the renegotiation of the Group's credit facility.
Taxes
A tax expense corresponding to 5 percent of pre-tax earnings was charged against the earnings for the quarter, meaning that the full-year tax expense is equivalent to 20 percent of full-year earnings before tax. In the year's first three interim reports, provisions were made for a 25 percent tax expense, corresponding to the expected combined tax rate for the full-year. The actual tax expense for the fullyear was somewhat lower, which explains the lower tax rate for the fourth quarter in isolation. Further information on ongoing tax disputes is provided in the section "Taxation assessments".
Cash flow and investments
Cash flow from operating activities over the quarter amounted to SEK 614 M (575). Cash flow was affected positively by improved operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization but negatively by weaker cash flow from change in working capital and higher interest paid. Disbursements during the quarter for purchased debt investments amounted to SEK 753 M (498).
Cash flow from operating activities over the full-year amounted to SEK 1,963 M (1,768). Disbursements for investments in purchased debt amounted to SEK 2, 014 M (1, 804) over the fullyear.

| Shareholders' equity | 3,021 | 2,813 | 7 |
| Liquid assets | 349 | 625 | -44 |
The increase in consolidated net debt compared with the preceding year is primarily attributable to continued increases in the level of investment in purchased debt. Thanks to a favorable earnings trend and strong operating cash flow in 2012, consolidated net debt in relation to operating earnings before depreciation and amortization was at a relatively unchanged and low level of 1.44 (1.40).
The Group's total approved loan financing amounts to SEK 6 billion, including SEK 1 billion that is used within the framework of the Group's bond program. The Group's bank facilities amount to SEK 5 billion, of which approximately SEK 1.7 billion was utilized at the end of the year. The maturity structure means that SEK 2 billion of the total approved loans mature each year between 2015 and 2017. For its short-term financing, the Group uses a commercial paper program involving borrowing of SEK 606 M as per December 31, 2012.
Goodwill
Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,369 M compared with SEK 2,204 M as per December 31, 2011. The change was attributable to goodwill preliminarily recognized in connection with an acquisition in the Netherlands; SEK 224 M and net negative exchange rate differences of SEK 59 M.

| Operating margin excluding revaluations, % | 34 | 22 | 30 | 25 |
Revenues for the quarter rose by 16 percent and operating earnings improved by 78 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluation of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. Consequently, the positive earnings and margin trend for the region continued in the fourth quarter,
primarily as a result of strong growth in purchased debt made possible by, among other things, increased activities regarding legal measures. Compared with the year-earlier period, the margin trend was also affected positively by good cost control and the fact that the fourth quarter of 2011 included non-recurring costs of SEK 8 M and integration costs of SEK 7 M.

| Operating margin excluding revaluations, % | 19 | 28 | 20 | 22 |
Revenues for the quarter rose by 7 percent and operating earnings weakened by 28 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluation of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. With the exception of Germany, development in the region was relatively unchanged in the fourth quarter compared with the year-earlier period, despite significantly increased costs for pursuing cases through the legal system. Development in Germany was unsatisfactory in 2012 due to weak development among new portfolio acquisitions and insufficient cost efficiency. For this reason, extensive personnel reductions were implemented over the year and, in the fourth quarter, items affecting comparability were recognized in the form of revaluations of SEK 52 M and impairment of SEK 17 M, while a new President was appointed with the focus being on increasing the unit's growth.

| Operating margin excluding revaluations, % | 14 | 18 | 15 | 18 |
Revenues for the quarter decreased by 3 percent and operating earnings decreased by 23 percent adjusted for currency effects and revaluation of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The region is being affected negatively by an uncertain macroeconomic situation in several countries, with price pressure in Credit Management and weak growth in purchased debt due to a hesitant stance towards new investments. The region's performance requires strengthening and for this reason, improving current margins through e.g. increased cost efficiency remains in focus.

Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 3 percent in the quarter and operating earnings rose by 4 percent. The impairment of the German IT platform by SEK 17 M also burdened fourth quarter earnings and, for the 2012 full-year, profitability was also affected negatively by increased costs for
collection measures via the legal system. The Group's strategy is improve growth and margins in Credit Management over the long term through the local implementation of Group-wide improvement programs in areas such as IT, scoring and legal activities.

Investments in purchased debt were strong in several markets in the fourth quarter, meaning that investments on a full-year basis amounted to slightly more than SEK 2 billion, equivalent to an increase of 12 percent compared with 2011. The return on purchased debt was 17 percent for the quarter and the full-year, well over the Group's target of 15 percent. Revaluations had a negative impact of SEK 83 M (19) in 2012, with two revaluations affecting comparability in Spain and Germany accounting for SEK 94 M of this amount. Over the year, the degree to which the Group's total purchased debt portfolio could be collected on remained stable as a consequence of the Group's strategy to focus its investments to stable economies with sound legal regulations and where Intrum Justitia holds a market-leading position in Credit Management.
For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for purchased debt, please see page 57 of the Annual Report.
Market outlook
Europe is characterized by considerable regional differences and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic situation in several countries. In a substantially weakened macroeconomic situation in Europe, with increased unemployment, Intrum Justitia is negatively affected.
In Intrum Justitia's view, the Group's strategic focus is well attuned to the market trend, with a broadening of credit management services and a link to risk reduction and financial services based on strong, market-leading collection operations. Companies' need to generate stronger and more predictable cash flow is increasing, as is the need to create additional alternatives for the financing of working capital, for example by selling receivables. These are trends that, in the long term, will benefit Intrum Justitia.
Taxation assessments
Following a tax audit of the Group's Swedish parent company for the 2009 financial year, the Swedish National Tax Board decided to impose a tax surcharge of SEK 19 M in 2011. Intrum Justitia takes the view, however, that its tax returns contained no misstatements and that the conditions for a tax surcharge have therefore not been met. The Company has therefore appealed the decision regarding the tax surcharge. In October, the Administrative Court ruled in accordance with the Swedish National Tax Board's motion and the Company has now appealed this ruling to the Administrative Court of Appeal.
In connection with a tax audit in Belgium in 2011, the company's right to make notional interest deductions was brought into question. The company is discussing the matter with the tax authorities but risks, in the worst-case scenario, being liable to pay additional tax for 2008 and 2009 as well as a tax surcharge and interest totaling EUR 10 M. In the opinion of the company, the tax authorities' assessment is incorrect since it refers to legal cases regarding situations different from that at hand. Consequently, Intrum Justitia has not made any provisions for additional taxes.
Corporate income tax for the year was equivalent to 20 percent of earnings before tax. Intrum Justitia's assessment is that the tax expense will, over the next few years, be around 20-25 percent of earnings before tax for each year, excluding the outcome of any tax disputes.
Parent Company
The Group's publicly listed Parent Company, Intrum Justitia AB (publ), owns the subsidiaries, provides the Group's head office functions and handles certain Group-wide development work, services and marketing.
The Parent Company reported net revenues of SEK 85 M (75) for the year and earnings before tax of a negative SEK 450 M (18), including impairments of shares in subsidiaries and net share dividends from subsidiaries of a negative SEK 326 M (97). The Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (1) in fixed assets during the year and had, at the end of the year, SEK 21 M (272) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 44 (42).
Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting for the Group and in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company. The same accounting principles and calculation methods have been applied as in the most recent Annual Report.
Significant risks and uncertainties
The Group's and the Parent Company's risks include strategic risks related to economic developments and acquisitions as well as operational risks related to, among other things, possible errors and omissions as well as operations in different countries. Moreover, there are risks related to the regulatory environment and financial risks such as market risk, financing risk, credit risk, risks inherent in purchased debt and guarantees in conjunction with the screening of charge card applications. The risks are described in more detail in the Board of Directors' report in Intrum Justitia's 2011 Annual Report. No significant risks are considered to have arisen besides those described in the annual report.
Dividend proposal
The Board of Directors of Intrum Justitia AB proposes that the Annual General Meeting distribute a dividend to the shareholders of SEK 5.00 per share (4.50).

Definitions
Increases in revenues, operating earnings and earnings before tax refer to the percentage increase in each income statement item year-over-year.
Organic growth refers to the average increase in revenues in local currency, adjusted for revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and the effects of acquisitions and divestments of Group companies.
Consolidated revenues include variable collection commissions, fixed collection fees, debtor fees, guarantee commissions, subscription revenue and income from purchased debt operations. Income from purchased debt consists of collected amounts less amortization, i.e., the decrease in the portfolios' book value for the period.
Operating margin is operating earnings as a percentage of revenues.
Return on purchased debt is the service line earnings for the period, recalculated on a full-year basis, as a percentage of the average carrying amount of the balance-sheet item purchased debt.
Net debt is interest-bearing liabilities and pension provisions less liquid assets and interest-bearing receivables.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization are operating earnings where depreciation on fixed assets as well as amortization and revaluations of purchased debt are added back.
Interest coverage ratio is earnings after financial items plus financial expenses divided by financial expenses.
Service line earnings are that part of operating earnings that can be attributed to the service lines, i.e. excluding shared costs for marketing and administration.
