For our business operations, 2012 has begun well with organic growth of 6 percent and an increase in operating earnings (EBIT) of 22 percent adjusted for currency effects and excluding costs for a Spanish legal case.
We have a strong financial position with cash flow from operating activities of SEK 443 M in the first quarter and, in March, we broadened our loan financing by issuing bonds for SEK 1 billion. Combined with our existing borrowing from banks, this makes us wellequipped to continue our expansion, primarily in Purchased Debt.
Our Financial Services service line, which focuses primarily on Purchased Debt, continues to develop well with good underlying margins and return. The level of investment in forward-flow contracts was high in the first quarter, generating stability in the form of repeated revenues, while non-recurring investments fell somewhat in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. The prospects to continue expanding and developing this business remain favorable.
Our Credit Management service line is developing stably and growing in terms of both revenues and operating earnings, despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty in several countries where we maintain operations. The increased pace of investment in Purchased Debt is driving volumes, although Credit Management services on assignment for external customers are also showing growth. We are continuing to increase our costs for taking more cases through the legal systems, which contributes to long-term profitability even though the effect on margins is negative in the short term.
For the most part, our geographical regions developed well early in the year. In Northern and Central Europe, we are experiencing good growth, driven primarily by favorable growth in Purchased Debt portfolios. In Western Europe, macroeconomic uncertainty has led us to limit our investments in Purchased Debt, reducing the risk in that business but also affecting revenues and margins negatively.
During 2012, we will increase our focus on developing our service offering to new and existing customer groups, particularly in the early part of the payment chain in, for example, payment guarantees, factoring services and e-trade payment services.

The increase in revenues by 3 percent consists of organic growth of 6 percent, acquisition effects of 2 percent, revaluation of Purchased Debt of -5 percent and currency effects of 0 percent. The improved organic growth is primarily attributable to the increased investment volume in Purchased Debt. Excluding non-recurring costs in Spain, operating earnings improved to SEK 203.9 M (165.7). The improved operating earnings and operating margin are mainly attributable to profitable growth in Purchased Debt in the Northern and Central Europe regions and also the fact that the first quarter last year was burdened by integration costs of SEK -7.8 M as well as a loss of SEK -8.1 M for divesting a minority interest. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group's regions and service lines is provided below.
In April, Intrum Justitia received a negative ruling in a Spanish court in a dispute concerning an acquisition of Purchased Debt from 2008. The dispute concerns the quality of certain parts of the portfolio of receivables, which, according to the agreement was to be taken over by Intrum Justitia for a pre-agreed price. According to the ruling, Intrum Justitia is to acquire the sub-portfolios that the case concerns for the pre-agreed purchase consideration of approximately EUR 5.3 M, shall pay interest on the amount and reimburse the seller for its court costs. Intrum Justitia does not share the court's view and will therefore appeal the ruling. Intrum Justitia has made a provision for the entire potential cost, amounting to SEK 50.8 M, of which SEK 41.6 M is recognized as revaluations, while SEK 2.3 M concerns operating costs and SEK 6.9 M concerns interest costs.
Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -37.0 (20.6). The increase is mainly explained by a provision for possible interest costs for the Spanish legal case of approximately SEK 6.9 M as well as increased borrowing. In addition, exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK -1.6 M (1.5), and other financial items by SEK -6.5 M (-4.3).
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 quarter amounted to SEK 443.1 M (322.8). The increase compared with the preceding year is primarily attributable to operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization. Cash flow from investing activities was at a level comparable to that in 2011 at SEK 386.5 M (384.0). Disbursements during the quarter for purchased debt investments amounted to SEK 295.2 M (370.0), while the acquisition of a Dutch company affected cash flow by SEK 68.7 M (0.0).

| Liquid assets | 705.8 | 295.0 | 139.3 | 624.8 |
The increase in consolidated net debt is primarily attributable to a high level of investment in Purchased Debt over the past 12 months. Thanks to a favorable earnings trend and strong cash flow, consolidated net debt in relation to operating earnings before depreciation and amortization was at an unchanged level of 1.29.
In March, the company implemented a successful bond issue that generated an injection of about SEK 1 billion for the company – this issue was carried out within the framework of the MTN program for up to SEK 3 billion. The bonds are unsecured and extend over a period of five years, maturing in March 2017. In addition, the Group has access to a syndicated loan facility of up to SEK 4 billion, within which unutilized credit amounted to approximately SEK 1.9 billion at the end of the quarter. For its short-term financing, the Group uses a commercial paper program involving borrowing of SEK 616 M as per March 31, 2012.
Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,412.0 M compared with SEK 2,204.3 M as per December 31, 2011. The change was attributable to the acquisition of Buckaroo NV for SEK 223.8 M and exchange rate differences of SEK -16.1 M.

Revenues rose by 12.1 percent and operating earnings improved by 34.7 percent adjusted for currency effects. The strong growth in revenues in the region is driven primarily by a highly favorable trend in Purchased Debt. The integration of acquisitions made in 2010 and 2011 is progressing as planned, helping strengthen operating earnings. Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2011 were burdened by integration costs of SEK -7.8 M. Investments in legal measures in the region are increasing, which, in the short term, will affect the margin trend.

Revenues rose by 14.2 percent in local currencies and operating earnings improved by 31.0 percent. Both revenues and operating earnings in the region are rising thanks to a high level of investment in Purchased Debt in 2011. Several projects are in progress in the region to further enhance the efficiency of operations.

Adjusted for non-recurring items in Spain, revenues in local currencies fell by -2.0 percent and operating earnings in local currencies fell by -15.2 percent to SEK 42.4 M (49.0). Uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic development in several countries in the region has led to Intrum Justitia reducing its investments levels, affecting both revenues and operating earnings negatively. Strong cost controls and efficiency enhancements remain in focus. The integration of the Dutch payment solutions company, which was acquired during the quarter, is progressing as planned and several new services are currently being assessed.

Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 6.0 percent in the quarter and service line earnings rose by 1.4 percent. The positive trend from the fourth quarter in terms of organic growth has also continued in early 2012. Operating earnings were affected negatively by increased costs for legal debt collection measures. Several group-wide initiatives to enhance efficiency in operations remain in focus this year.

Excluding non-recurring items in Spain, net revenues amounted to SEK 282.9 M (238.1), operating earnings to SEK 147.2 M (126.3) and the operating margin to SEK 52.0 percent (53.0). The level of activity in Purchased Debt portfolios is favorable. Over the quarter, the level of investment in forward-flow contracts remained favorable while investments in portfolios of a non-recurring nature declined compared with the preceding year. Intrum Justitia prioritizes a stable and positive return on portfolio investments and thus also disciplined pricing in its acquisitions of new portfolios.
For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for Purchased Debt, 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 reducing 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 resolved to impose a tax surcharge of SEK 19.1 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.
In connection with a tax audit in Belgium, the company's right to notional interest deductions was questioned in 2011. The company has requested a reassessment of the tax authorities' decision 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 10.5 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 first 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 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 17.7 M (17.4) for the quarter and earnings before tax of SEK -27.7 M (-19.1). The Parent Company invested SEK 0.0 M (0.4) in fixed assets during the quarter and had, at the end of the quarter, SEK 357.5 M (14.5) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 39 (28).
On January 31, Intrum Justitia acquired the Dutch company Buckaroo BV, a supplier of invoicing and payment solutions with several value-adding services particularly for e-trading customers. The purchase consideration was paid in connection with the finalization of the transaction and amounted to EUR 8 M based on a net debt-free valuation. The agreement also allows for an additional purchase consideration of up to EUR 32 M in 2013-2015, which is to be paid if certain financial targets are achieved. In that eventuality, most of the purchase consideration will be paid in 2015.
Preliminarily, the acquisition is reported according to the following:

In April, Intrum Justitia won an auction process for a Polish Purchased Debt portfolio consisting of overdue consumer loans. The seller is one of the largest banks in Poland and the aggregate outstanding value of the receivables amounts to approximately PLN 700 M (approximately SEK 1.5 billion). There is no binding agreement between the parties – instead, the auction process will be followed by customary contract negotiations during the second quarter of 2012.
To further strengthen Intrum Justitia's Group Management Team, a number of changes are being implemented effective from April 23, 2012.
Per Christoffersson is being appointed Regional Manager for the Central Europe region after having held the post of Acting Regional Manager since February 2012. He will continue to be responsible for certain Group-wide functions in the Credit Management service line.
Two new functions are to be included in the Group Management Team in the form of Jean-Luc Ferraton, Director of Human Resources (CHRO), and Harry Vranjes, Director of IT (CIO). Finally, Gijsbert Wassink will be succeeded by Kari Kyllönen as Director of Purchased Debt.
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.
Effective from 2012, Intrum Justitia applies a new principle regarding the allocation of shared expenses between the Group's two services lines, Credit Management and Financial Services. The results of the service lines have previously included an allocation of the majority of the Group's shared expenses. According to the new principle, only expenses that can directly be attributed to one of the service lines are included in that service line's results, such as production expenses, IT expenses and sales expenses. Expenses of a shared nature, mainly for marketing and administration, are not allocated to the service lines, but are instead reported as shared expenses. The comparison number for previous year have been recalculated as a consequence of the new reporting principle.
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.
