Intrum Justitia is disclosing the information herein pursuant to the Securities Markets Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was released for publication on Friday, July 19, 2013 at 07:00.

Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung

Intrum Justitia has seen positive developments during the first half of 2013, with healthy growth in earnings and an improvement in the operating margin over the second quarter. The operating margin amounted to 26 percent and operating earnings were up 42 percent, adjusted for revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and currency effects, compared with the year-earlier period. On a rolling 12-month basis, earnings per share increased by 25 percent. Cash flow from operations rose 45 percent to SEK 621 M.

We are seeing persistently strong growth within the service line Financial Services. Purchased debt investments amounted to SEK 597 M, an excellent level considering the fact that few major portfolio acquisitions were made over the quarter. Stability in our business for the purchasing of receivables is therefore good, with an extremely well diversified portfolio. The return on the portfolios amounted to 22 percent, well above the targeted 15 percent.

Credit Management demonstrated growth in both revenues and operating earnings in the second quarter, partly driven by increased volumes from our purchased debt portfolios. Our operational improvement measures are achieving the desired results and we are continuing with our drive to increase internal efficiency to ensure long-term growth.

Our investment in a new service line, Intrum Justitia Finance, is developing according to plan. We see good potential for this business to boost the Group's long-term growth. Intrum Justitia Finance offers services early in the payment chain that complement the existing Credit Management and Financial Services offerings, initially with factoring services and various payment and financing solutions for etrade.

In the second quarter we saw positive developments in all three of our geographical regions. There was a beneficial impact on the regions from an increased level of investment in purchased debt. Moreover we are seeing positive effects from us increasing the number of cases being pursued in the legal systems, primarily in Northern and Central Europe. In Western Europe we are reaping the benefits of our streamlining work on credit management operations. We are, however, still facing challenges in the region following the uncertain macro situation in several countries.

In the second quarter, Intrum Justitia also issued SEK 1 billion in bonds within the framework of its MTN program. This has enabled us to secure additional financing for continued expansion and further diversifies our borrowing.

Revenues and earnings

Over the second quarter, revenues rose by 11 percent, consisting of organic growth of 13 percent, acquisitions of 2 percent, revaluations of purchased debt of 0 percent and a negative currency effect of 4 percent. Operating earnings improved by 38 percent in the second quarter; adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 42 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 45 percent compared with the preceding year and by 25 percent on a rolling 12-month basis.

The Group's new financing services, including factoring and payment guarantees, are at the launch phase and burdened operating earnings for the second quarter of 2013 by SEK 10 M. At the operations level, a negative SEK 7 M was included in the service line earnings for Financial Services and a negative SEK 3 M was recognized as shared expenses.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to a negative SEK 36 M (33). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK 1 M (0), and other financial items by a negative SEK 7 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 557 413 35 1,067 785 36

Cash flow from operating activities over the quarter amounted to SEK 621 M (428). Cash flow was affected positively by improved operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization, and by changes in working capital. Disbursements during the quarter for purchased debt investments amounted to SEK 597 M (667).

Cash flow from purchased debt amounted to SEK 557 M (413), defined as the funds collected on purchased debt after deductions primarily for collection costs, which burden the service line.

Shareholders' equity 2,980 2,685 11
Liquid assets 395 392 1

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, along with the dividend in the second quarter. 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 1.74 (1.55).

In the second quarter, Intrum Justitia issued bonds for SEK 1 billion within the framework of the Group's MTN program. The purpose was to increase financial flexibility to enable continued expansion and to diversify the Group's borrowing. The Group's total approved loan financing therefore amounts to SEK 7 billion, including SEK 2 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 2.0 billion was utilized at the end of the quarter. The maturity structure means that SEK 2 billion of the total approved loans mature each year between 2015 and 2017, and SEK 1 billion in 2018. For its short-term financing, the Group uses a commercial paper program involving borrowing of SEK 597 M as per June 30, 2013.

Goodwill

Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,420 M compared with SEK 2,369 M as per December 31, 2012. Of the change in goodwill, SEK 39 M was attributable to increased ownership in a French company, and SEK 12 M to exchange rate differences.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 17 percent and operating earnings improved by 48 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The positive earnings and margin trend for the region is mainly driven by increased investment in purchased debt over the past 12 months. The margin strengthened from 24 to 29 percent, primarily as a consequence of an increase in the proportion of revenues from purchased debt compared with the previous year. Persistent positive effects can be seen in the region from an increased number of cases being pursued in the legal systems.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 21 percent and operating earnings improved by 49 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. We see a positive impact on the result in the region following increased investments in purchased debt. In the region, increasing the number of cases being pursued in the legal systems remains a priority to strengthen future development.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 7 percent and operating earnings increased by 25 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluation of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The increase in revenues is largely due to increased investment in purchased debt, along with a positive contribution from previously acquired units. Work on improving efficiency within Credit Management in the region also boosted revenues in the second quarter.

There was a positive effect of SEK 7 M on operating earnings for the quarter from a reversal of reserves in connection with payment of additional purchase consideration for a corporate acquisition.

Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 6 percent in the quarter and operating earnings rose by 9 percent. The favorable development is chiefly driven by increased volumes from the Group's purchasing of debt portfolios. The Group's strategy is to 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, work that is ongoing and that is having a positive impact on the result.

The level of investment in purchased debt was strong in several markets in the second quarter, if a little lower than in the year-earlier period. However, a major bank portfolio was acquired in the second quarter last year, while this year's figures are more diversified in relation to both geography and portfolio size. The return on purchased debt was 22 percent for the quarter – well above the Group's target of 15 percent.

Operating earnings for the quarter were charged with costs of SEK 7 M for building up 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, and below under the heading "Accounting principles".

Market outlook

Europe is characterized by considerable regional differences and there is considerable 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 will benefit Intrum Justitia in the long term.

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.

In connection with a tax audit in Belgium in 2011, the company's right to make notional interest deductions was called into question. The matter was resolved in the second quarter without Intrum Justitia incurring any substantial additional cost.

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 35 M (36) for the six-month period and earnings before tax of a negative SEK 76 M (78). During the period the Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets and had liquid assets of SEK 120 M (187) at the end of the period. The average number of employees was 45 (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 Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities, 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 for the preceding year decreased by SEK 8 M compared with the figure reported at the time, of which SEK 3 M pertains to the second 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 service 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. With regard to pensions, however, the effect is entirely immaterial for the Group and rounds off to SEK 0 M.

Intrum Justitia recognizes purchased debt at amortized cost applying the effective interest rate method, and with an initial effective interest rate that can be adjusted under specific conditions within a predetermined interval, whereby the carrying amount of a portfolio remains unchanged in the event of minor projection adjustments. The interval was previously 8-25 percent, but has been changed from and including the second quarter of 2013 and will henceforth be 5-25 percent. Intrum Justitia believes that 5-25 percent better reflects an interval for a normal level of return on the Group's purchased debt, and provides a more symmetrical interval regarding the Group's return 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

On 18 July, the Board of Directors of Intrum Justitia decided to launch a repurchasing program, initially for the period 22 July 2013 up to and including 24 September 2013. The program will enable Intrum Justitia to return additional funds to the shareholders and it is the opinion of the Board of Directors that this will improve the company's capital structure. The aim of the program is to reduce Intrum Justitia's share capital by withdrawing those shares that are repurchased. In accordance with authorization from the 2013 Annual General Meeting, a maximum quantity corresponding to 10% of the company's shares can be repurchased during the period leading up to the 2014 AGM.

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.

Operating earnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are operating earnings where depreciation on fixed assets as well as amortization and revaluations of purchased debt are reversed.

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 Switzerland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and Austria.

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.
