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 April 24, 2013.
Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung
Intrum Justitia has started 2013 well. Operating earnings rose by 24 percent adjusted for revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and currency exchange rate changes, compared with the year-earlier period. On a rolling 12-month basis, earnings per share rose by 21 percent. Cash flow from operations rose 10 percent to SEK 464 M.
The Financial Services service line developed very well during the start of the year and at SEK 920 M, the level of investment in purchased debt was the highest for any individual quarter in Intrum Justitia's history. The return on the portfolios amounted to a favorable 20 percent. The conditions for continued growth remain favorable, although the increase in the level of investment in purchased debt in the first quarter should be considered as exceptional.
The revenue trend in the Credit Management service line has been relatively unchanged compared with the preceding year, although it continued to be affected negatively by increased costs for cases being pursued through the legal systems. We are seeing clear positive effects from continuing to increase the number of legal cases and this will improve the operating margin in the future.
During 2013, we are launching a new service line, Intrum Justitia Finance. The service line offers customers 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 e-trade. The service line is developing as planned and we see good potential for it to contribute positively to the Group's long-term growth.
Within our regions, development has been favorable in Northern and Central Europe while Western Europe developed less well in early 2013. In Northern Europe, growth is good in terms of both revenues and operating earnings, driven mainly by increased investment levels in purchased debt and good cost control. Central Europe had a strong quarter with good growth in earnings, affected partly by the decision made in 2012 to undertake measures to reduce costs in Germany – measures which are now having an effect on earnings. The trend in Credit Management in the Western Europe region in particular was negative in the first quarter as a consequence, among other factors, of continued price pressure. Increased focus on raising the pace of investment in purchased debt means that the income mix is now gradually improving.

Revenues and earnings
January-March 2013
Over the first quarter, revenues rose by 10 percent, consisting of organic growth of 8 percent, revaluations of purchased debt of 4 percent and a negative currency effect of 2 percent. Operating earnings improved by 48 percent in the first quarter, although, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 24 percent. The improvement in operating earnings excluding revaluations is mainly attributable to the favorable growth in purchased debt, which is highly profitable. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group's regions and service lines is provided below.
In the year-earlier period, earnings were burdened with considerable non-recurring expenses of SEK 51 M for a lawsuit in Spain, of which SEK 42 was recognized as revaluations, SEK 2 M as operating expenses and SEK 7 M as interest expenses.
Earnings per share for the quarter rose by 68 percent compared with the preceding year and by 21 percent on a rolling 12-month basis.
The Group's new financial services, including factoring and payment guarantees, are at the start-up phase and burdened operating earnings for the first quarter of 2013 by SEK 8 M. At the operations level, a negative SEK 5 M was included in the service line earnings for Financial Services and a negative SEK 3 M was recognized as common costs.
Net financial items
Net financial items for the quarter amounted to a negative SEK 36 M (37). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK 3 M (2), and other financial items by a negative SEK 6 M (6). Interest expenses for the first quarter of 2012 included SEK 7 M attributable to a lawsuit in Spain.
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 | 510 | 372 | 37 | 1,682 |
Cash flow from operating activities over the quarter amounted to SEK 464 M (423). Cash flow was affected positively by improved operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization but negatively by weaker cash flow from changes in working capital and higher interest paid. Interest paid in the first quarter includes the annual interest on the bond loan. Disbursements during the quarter for purchased debt investments amounted to SEK 920 M (295).
Cash flow from purchased debt amounted to SEK 510 M (372), defined as the funds collected on purchased debt after deductions primarily for collection costs, which burden the service line.

| Shareholders' equity | 3,092 | 2,904 | 6 | 3,021 |
| Liquid assets | 373 | 661 | -44 | 348 |
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. However, net debt, expressed in SEK, rose by a smaller amount than that borrowed during the quarter since the Group's loans are mainly denominated in foreign currencies that have weakened against the SEK. 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 1.54 (1.30).
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 2.1 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. For its short-term financing, the Group uses a commercial paper program involving borrowing of SEK 586 M as per March 31, 2013.
Goodwill
Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,298 M compared with SEK 2,369 M as per December 31, 2012. The change was attributable to negative exchange rate differences.
Regions

| Revenues | 505 | 456 | 11 | 1,990 |
| Operating earnings | 134 | 113 | 19 | 590 |
| Revenues excluding revaluations | 508 | 454 | 12 | 1,980 |
| Operating earnings excluding revaluations | 137 | 111 | 23 | 580 |
| Operating margin excluding revaluations, % | 27 | 24 | 29 |
Revenues for the quarter rose by 15 percent and operating earnings improved by 29 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. Earnings were also affected positively by the efficiency enhancement programs in the region in recent years, with regard to both cost control and the increased number of cases being pursued in the legal systems.
Central Europe
| SEK M | Jan-March | Jan-March | Change | Full Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | % | 2012 | |
| Revenues | 250 | 234 | 7 | 892 |
| Operating earnings | 66 | 48 | 38 | 148 |
| Revenues excluding revaluations | 252 | 235 | 7 | 936 |
| Operating earnings excluding revaluations | 68 | 49 | 39 | 192 |
| Operating margin excluding revaluations, % | 27 | 21 | 21 |
Revenues for the quarter rose by 13 percent and operating earnings improved by 44 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The strong earnings trend is partly an effect of the measures undertaken in 2012 to reduce costs in Germany, but is also an effect of increased investment in purchased debt at the end of last year. In the region, increasing the number of matters in the legal systems remains a priority in ensuring long-term stability and margin improvement.
Western Europe
| SEK M | Jan-March | Jan-March | Change | Full Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | % | 2012 | |
| Revenues | 293 | 266 | 10 | 1,166 |
| Operating earnings | 36 | -1 | - | 141 |
| Revenues excluding revaluations | 292 | 308 | -5 | 1,211 |
| Operating earnings excluding revaluations | 35 | 41 | -15 | 186 |
| Operating margin excluding revaluations, % | 12 | 13 | 15 |
Revenues for the quarter decreased by 1 percent and operating earnings decreased by 10 percent adjusted for currency effects and revaluation of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. Operating earnings for the same quarter last year included costs affecting comparability of SEK 44 M relating to a dispute in Spain. The development in the region, particularly in Credit Management, was unsatisfactory in the first quarter, which was partly a consequence of the uncertain macroeconomic situation leading to increased price pressure in several countries. Continued good cost control in the region means that operating margins can be maintained at a good level.
Service lines
Credit Management Services
| SEK M | Jan-March | Jan-March | Change | Full Year |

| Service line earnings | 180 | 198 | -9 | 827 |
| Service line margin, % | 22 | 24 | 25 |
Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 1 percent in the quarter and service line earnings fell by 6 percent. 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. Operating earnings continue to be affected negatively by increasing costs for pursuing cases in the legal systems, although this is a measure that has positive effects on the profit margin in the long term.
Financial Services
| SEK M | Jan-March | Jan-March | Change | Full Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | % | 2012 | |

| Investments in Purchased debt | 920 | 295 | 212 | 2,014 |
| Carrying amount, Purchased debt | 4,594 | 3,153 | 46 | 4,064 |
The level of investment in purchased debt was strong in several markets in the first quarter, meaning that investments more than tripled compared with the year-earlier period. The exceptionally high level of investment was also affected by certain transactions negotiated in the fourth quarter of 2012 being concluded in the first quarter of 2013. The return on purchased debt was 20 percent for the quarter year – well above the Group's target of 15 percent.
For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for Purchased Debt, please see page 59 of the Annual Report 2012.
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.
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 17 M (18) for the quarter and earnings before tax of a negative SEK 26 M (28). The Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets during the year and had, at the end of the year, SEK 3 M (357) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 44 (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 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 last year's revenues decreased by SEK 8 M compared to then reported figures, of which SEK 5 M pertains to the first quarter. The decline in revenues was incurred in the Financial services lines 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. With regard to pensions, however, the effect is entirely immaterial for the Group and rounds off to SEK 0 M.
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.
Financial goals
At the capital markets day on March 21, the new financial targets for the Group were presented.
- Earnings per share are to rise by at least 10 percent annually.
- Return on purchased debt shall be at least 15 percent annually.
- Net debt in relation to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDAA) shall be in the interval 2.0-3.0.
In addition it was confirmed that the current dividend policy would remain unchanged, meaning that shareholders should, over time, obtain a dividend or equivalent that averages at least half of the net earnings for the year after tax.

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 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.
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 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.
