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 7:00 a.m. CET on October 24, 2013.

Consolidated net revenues for the third quarter of 2013 amounted to SEK 1,135 M (1,001).

Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung

Intrum Justitia enjoyed continued favorable development in the third quarter of 2013. Revenues increased by 13 percent and the operating margin strengthened to 29 percent. Operating earnings rose by 22 percent compared with the year-earlier period, adjusted for revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and currency effects. Cash flow from operations increased by 34 percent to SEK 647 M and, on a rolling 12-month basis, earnings per share rose by 32 percent.

The Financial Services business line developed well during the quarter. Investments in purchased debt amounted to SEK 692 M, an increase of 131 percent compared with the preceding year. The increase in investment is primarily explained by an increase in acquisitions of portfolios from the financial sector. The return on receivables was 19 percent – well above the target of 15 percent. After slightly more than ten years of investments in receivables, we now have a stable and well-diversified portfolio, both in terms of geography and sectors.

Our Credit Management service line showed a continued stable trend in the third quarter. Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 4 percent – an increase driven primarily by increased volumes from the Group's own portfolios of receivables. In the long term, the service line's growth will be generated through continued investments in receivables, a continued focus on generating higher volumes from external clients and continuously improved internal processes and efficiency in collection.

Our venture to broaden our service offering with new services in factoring, as well as payment and financing solutions for e-trade, is developing as planned and represents, in the long term, a good addition to the established service offering in Credit Management and Financial Services.

Over the quarter, our three regions showed a continued positive trend. The favorable trend with regard to investments in receivables generates profitable growth for our regions which contributes to strong operating margins.

Revenues and earnings

Over the third quarter, revenues rose by 13 percent, consisting of organic growth of 11 percent, acquisitions of 2 percent, revaluations of purchased debt of a negative 1 percent and a currency effect of 1 percent. Operating earnings improved by 22 percent in the third quarter – adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was also 22 percent. The improvement in operating earnings excluding revaluations is mainly attributable to the favorable growth in purchased debt. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group's regions and service lines is provided below.

Earnings per share for the quarter rose by 26 percent compared with the preceding year and by 32 percent on a rolling 12-month basis. In the third quarter, earnings per share were affected by repurchasing, which reduced the number of shares outstanding by approximately 0.7 percent.

The Group's new financial services, including factoring and payment guarantees, burdened operating earnings for the third quarter of 2013 by SEK 10 M. At the service line level, SEK –7 M was included in the earnings for Financial Services and SEK –3 M was recognized as shared expenses.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK –43 M (–35). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK –1 M (–2), and other financial items by SEK –8 M (–7).

Taxes

Earnings for the quarter were charged with tax of 22.5 percent. Further information on ongoing tax disputes is provided in the section "Taxation assessments".

Cash flow from Purchased debt 553 411 35 1,620 785 106

Cash flow from operating activities over the quarter amounted to SEK 647 M (482). Cash flow was affected positively primarily by improved operating earnings, excluding depreciation and amortization. Disbursements during the quarter for purchased debt investments amounted to SEK 692 M (299).

Shareholders' equity 3,003 2,801 7

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, the share dividend paid out in the second quarter and share repurchases during the third quarter of 2013. A favorable earnings trend and strong operating cash flow mean that consolidated net debt in relation to operating earnings before depreciation and amortization remained at a relatively low level of 1.72 (1.43).

In the third quarter, Intrum Justitia repurchased 1,197,773 of its own shares for a total price of SEK 200 M within the framework of the share repurchase program approved by the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Consequently, the number of shares outstanding at the end of the quarter amounted to 78,546,878, compared with 79,744,651 shares at the start of the year and at the start of the quarter. The average number of shares outstanding in the third quarter was 79,202,519 and for the nine-month period, the average was 79,561,954. The Board of Directors intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting in 2014 to reduce the share capital by striking off the repurchased shares.

Goodwill

Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,400 M compared with SEK 2,369 M as per December 31, 2012. Of the change, SEK 39 M was attributable to an increased ownership share in a French company, and SEK -8 M was attributable to exchange rate differences.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 9 percent and operating earnings improved by 23 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The region continues to be affected positively by increased investment in purchased debt over the past year and, in addition, the strong margin trend is being driven by favorable effects of the work with internal efficiency and good cost control.

The region has had a very good trend with regard to investments in purchased debt and operating earnings have been strengthened compared with the preceding year despite the fact that the Group is continuing to increase our costs to increase the number of cases being pursued in the legal systems.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 14 percent and operating earnings percent by 17 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The region has increased its level of investment in purchased debt and has also had good volume growth in Credit Management. Efforts to increase efficiency in Credit Management in the region are giving favorable results, which is also contributing to a favorable earnings trend.

Intrum Justitia's position in the French market will be strengthened in the future through cooperation with Coface Services for cases involving corporate receivables (for further information, see section "Events after the end of the period").

The service line Financial Services continues to develop strongly and investment in purchased debt increased substantially compared with the preceding year. The increase in investment is primarily explained by an increase in acquisitions of portfolios from the financial sector.

The return on purchased debt was 19 percent for the quarter year – well above the Group's target of 15 percent.

Operating earnings for the quarter were burdened by costs of SEK 7 M for the building up of the new service line Intrum Justitia Finance.

For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for Purchased Debt, please see page 59 of the 2012 Annual Report, under the heading Accounting Principles.

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 2012, 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.

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 52 M (53) for January-September and earnings before tax of SEK –91 M (–60). The Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets during the nine-month period and had, at the end of the period, SEK 3 M (133) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 46 (39).

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.

Effective from 2013, the Group applies the new accounting principles IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangement, IFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities, IFRS 13 Fair value measurement, and the updated version of IAS 19 Employee benefits.

The change in accounting principles means that joint ventures are reported according to the equity method rather than the proportional method, with the effect, among others, that the reported revenues decreased by SEK 8 M compared with the preceding year, of which SEK 2 M pertains to the third quarter. The decline in revenues was incurred in the Financial Services service line where the Group's joint ventures are recognized. The negative effect on consolidated revenues is offset by a decrease in the elimination of Group-internal sales from the Credit Management services line to the Financial Services service line because joint ventures are treated as external companies. The effect on the balance sheet is primarily a reduction in purchased debt and cash and cash equivalents, as well as an increase in shares and participations.

The new accounting method for pensions entails the removal of the corridor method and actuarial gains and losses being recognized under other comprehensive income.

The comparison figures for 2012 have been recalculated taking the new accounting principles into consideration. The effect on the opening balance with regard to pensions, however, is entirely immaterial for the Group and rounds off to SEK 0 M.

Intrum Justitia reports purchased debt at amortized cost applying the effective interest method and with an initial effective interest rate that may be adjusted under specific conditions within a predetermined interval, with the result that the reported value of a portfolio remains unchanged in connection with minor forecast adjustments. The interval was previously 8-25 percent, but was changed effective from the second quarter of 2013 to 5-25 percent. In Intrum Justitia's view, 5-25 percent better reflects an interval for a normal return on the Group's purchased debt with a symmetry around the Group's profitability target of 15 percent.

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 2012 Annual Report. No significant risks are considered to have arisen besides those described in the annual report.

Events after the end of the period

In October, Intrum Justitia entered an agreement to broaden its cooperation with Coface Services, a subsidiary of Natixis bank, in France. The purpose of the cooperation is to conduct joint collection operations for corporate receivables through the merger of Intrum Justitia's and Coface Service's French operations for this segment. The agreement entails Intrum Justitia and Coface Services setting up a jointly owned company from January 2014, with Intrum Justitia as the majority shareholder and with an option for Intrum Justitia to acquire 100 percent of the company within four years. The new company will have around 180 employees and is expected to generate revenues of approximately EUR 20 M annually.

Review report

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 2013. 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 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, excluding the Group's new services such as factoring and payment guarantees, recalculated on a full-year basis, as a percentage of the average carrying amount of the balance-sheet item purchased debt.

Cash flow from purchased debt consists of funds collected on purchased debt with deductions for the service line's overheads, primarily collection costs.

Net debt is interest-bearing liabilities and pension provisions less liquid assets and interest-bearing receivables.

Earnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are operating earnings after 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.

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

Region Central Europe comprises the Group's activities for external clients and debtors in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Switzerland.

Region Western Europe comprises the Group's activities for external clients and debtors in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom.
