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 Wednesday, October 24, 2012.

Intrum Justitia has had stable development in 2012, the third quarter being no exception. Organic growth was 6 percent and operating earnings rose by 10 percent adjusted for currency effects and portfolio revaluations. The cash flow from operations was strong, amounting to SEK 496 M for the quarter. Our financial flexibility is very good, with available, unutilized credits of some SEK 3 billion at the close of the third quarter following the successful adjustment of our bank financing in the first half of the year and the establishment of Intrum Justitia on the bond market.

The Financial Services business line developed positively over the quarter. The business line is dominated by purchased receivables, where the return on the debt portfolios amounted to 19 percent. Income rose by 27 percent in the third quarter adjusted for currency effects and the operating margin remained at a high level.

Our Credit Management business line continues its stable development. Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 5 percent in the third quarter. Because we are continuing to increase the number of cases handled through the legal systems, earnings are affected negatively in the short term. In the longer term, these measures will contribute to increased earning capacity and increased stability in the operations.

Among our regions, Northern Europe has had a positive trend with increased earnings and operating earnings. The trend is being driven by increased investment in debt portfolios, but also by a favorable trend in Credit Management and good cost control. In Central Europe, the trend was, on the whole stable, over the third quarter. In Germany, the level of investment in portfolios of purchased receivables remains too low, with the result that the efficiency of the operations is not satisfactory. In light of the unsatisfactory development,a review of our German business is ongoing. In Western Europe, we continue to see effects of the uncertain macroeconomic situation, and this has caused us to selectively reduce our level of investment in portfolios of purchased receivables, while we also have increased collection costs.

The increase in revenues by 1 percent in the third quarter consisted of organic growth of 6 percent, acquisition effects of 2 percent and negative currency effects of 7 percent. The improved organic growth is primarily attributable to the increased investment volume in Purchased Receivables. Operating earnings improved by 3 percent in the third quarter, although, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased receivables portfolios, the increase was 10 percent. The strong growth in investmenets in receivables in recent years, as well as good internal efficiency and cost control are driving the Group's earnings growth. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group's regions and service lines is provided below.

In the third quarter, Intrum Justitia reached an agreement regarding the legal case in Spain, announced in the first quarter of 2012, to the effect that the case has now been conclusively settled between the parties.

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to an expense of SEK 35 M (36). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK -2 M (+6), and other financial items had a negative effect of SEK -7 M (-20). In the third quarter of 2011, other financial items consisted of non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the renegotiation during 2011 of the Group's credit facility.

Earnings for the quarter were charged with tax of 25 percent, corresponding to the estimated average tax cost for the 2012 full year. Further information on ongoing tax disputes is provided in the section "Taxation assessments".

Cash flow from operating activities over the the quarter amounted to SEK 496 M (544). Cash flow was affected positively by improved operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization but negatively by poorer cash flow from working capital and higher taxes paid. Disbursements during the quarter for invetsments in receivables amounted to SEK 299 M (660).

The increase in consolidated net debt compared with the year-earlier period is primarily attributable to a high level of investments in receivables. Thanks to a favorable earnings trend and strong cash flow, consolidated net debt in relation to operating earnings before depreciation and amortization was at a relatively unchanged and low level of 1.40.

The Group's loan facilities amounts to SEK 5 billion, of which approximately SEK 2 billion had been utilized at the end of the quarter. 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 maturity structure entails SEK 2 billion of the total approved loans maturing each year over the period 2015-2017. For its short-term financing, the Group uses a commercial paper program involving borrowing of SEK 607 M as per September 30, 2012.

Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,334 M compared with SEK 2,204 M as per December 31, 2011. The change was attributable to preliminiary goodwill for a Dutch acquisition of SEK 224 M and net negative exchange rate differences of SEK 94 M.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 17 percent and operating earnings improved by 25 percent adjusted for currency effects, compared with the year-earlier period. The operation in the region continues to develop strongly, driven mainly by higher levels of investment in receivables. Operating earnings for the third quarter of 2011 were burdened by integration costs of SEK 3 M. During the third quarter, a very large Polish bank portfolio was integrated, with the effect that costs for collection measures via the legal system will continue to rise.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 8 percent and operating earnings improved by 4 percent in local currencies compared with the year-earlier period. Our operation in the region as a whole is developing well, with efficient credit management operations and a favorable return on portfolios of purchased receivables. In Germany, the problem remains of it not having been possible to offset decreased volumes in aging portfolios through new portfolio acquisitions, resulting in poor cost efficiency. Therefore a review of the German operation is ongoing.

Revenues for the quarter fell by 4 percent and operating earnings decreased by 20 percent in local currencies compared with the year-earlier period. Several countries in the region are affected by the uncertain macroeconomic situation, where several customer segments are prioritizing increased collection measures in existing cases. The volume trend is therefore generally positive, although profitability is, at the same time affected negatively by price pressure and higher costs per case for Intrum Justitia. The region Western Europe remains restrictive with regard to investments in receivables in several countries where the macroeconomic situation is weak or uncertain.

The level of activity in the purchasing of receivables portfolios is good and the investment level for the quarter remained high. Compared with the third quarter of 2011, investments in receivables decreased as a consequence of Intrum Justitia at that time having carried out a major individual purchase. For the first nine months of the year in total, the investment level was in-line with 2011.

For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for Purchased Receivables, please see page 57 of the Annual Report.

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.

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. Consequently, the company has appealed the ruling with regard to the tax surcharge and has not made any provision for this cost.

In connection with a tax audit in Belgium in 2011, the company's right to make so-called 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.

In the third quarter of 2012, Intrum Justitia has not had cause to change its view of the most likely outcome of the ongoing tax disputes and has not therefore made any provisions for additional tax expenses in the closing account for the quarter.

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 53 M (54) for the nine-month period and earnings before tax of a negative SEK -60 M (+54). During the period the Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets and had liquid assets of SEK 133 M (50) at the end of the period. The average number of employees was 39 (31).

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.

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 receivables 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.

Lars Wollung President and CEO

Intrum Justitia is Europe's leading Credit Management Services (CMS) group, offering comprehensive credit management services, including Purchased Receivables, designed to measurably improve clients' cash flows and long-term profitability. Founded in 1923, Intrum Justitia has some 3,300 employees in 20 markets. Consolidated revenues amounted to SEK 4 billion in 2011. Intrum Justitia AB has been listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm exchange since 2002. For further information, please visit www.intrum.com.

To the Board of Directors of Intrum Justitia AB (publ), corporate identity number 556607-7581.

Introduction

We have performed a general review of the interim financial report for Intrum Justitia AB (publ) for the period January-September 2012. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Focus and scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Company's Elected Auditor. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has another focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

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 portfolios of purchased receivables 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 receivables operations. Income from purchased receivables 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 receivables 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 receivables.

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 receivables are added back. The figure is presented on a rolling twelve month basis, abbreviated RTM.

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 common costs for marketing and administration.

Region Northern Europe comprises the Group's activities for external clients and debtors in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden.
