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 July 17, 2014.

Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung

Intrum Justitia performed well during the second quarter 2014. Consolidated revenues rose by 13 percent and operating earnings, adjusted for revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and currency effects, increased by 14 percent compared with the year-earlier period,. Earnings per share have risen 28 percent over the past 12-month period, which is well above our financial target of a 10-percent annual increase. In the second quarter we also strengthened our long-term financial flexibility by issuing bonds of SEK 1 billion, as well as by improving several of the terms for our bank financing.

As in the first quarter, the Western Europe and Central Europe regions experienced healthy growth in the second quarter. We are seeing a strong trend within purchased debt in Central Europe, while Western Europe has performed well primarily within Credit Management. Northern Europe has also improved its result compared with the year-earlier period, largely owing to revaluations of purchased debt and through enhanced cost efficiency.

Our Financial Services line continues to perform well as a consequence of increasing levels of investment for purchased debt over the past few years, with revenues excluding currency effects rising by 16 percent in the second quarter. Good collections and positive revaluations during Q2 generated a return on purchased debt of 21 percent. The level of investment for purchased debt totaled SEK 537 M for the second quarter. Investments for the first half of 2014 were 19 percent down on the year-earlier period, which was very strong. The Credit Management service line saw an improvement in revenues and profitability compared with the year-earlier period, chiefly due to contributions from acquired units and increased volumes from our own portfolios. Within Credit Management we focus our efforts on improving collection efficiency and boosting growth from external clients.

We are continuing to develop services involving financing solutions before receivables mature, or in connection with their maturing. This business is a small part of the Group at present, but has good long-term potential to grow and strengthen our existing business. Swedish and Finnish factoring operations developed as planned. Our initiative in the Netherlands to offer a financing solution for e-trade has had a disappointing performance and we are therefore investigating other alternatives for this operation. To improve cost efficiency and strengthen cooperation with our other organization we have also included the operations for financing solutions before an invoice matures within the existing regional organization.

Revenues and earnings

Over the second quarter, revenues rose by 13 percent, consisting of organic growth of 5 percent, acquisition effects of 2 percent, revaluations of purchased debt of 1 percent and currency effects of 5 percent. Operating earnings improved by 24 percent in the second quarter and, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 14 percent. The improvement in operating earnings is mainly attributable to growth and positive revaluations in purchased debt. All regions have seen an improvement in their operating earnings over the second quarter compared with the year-earlier period.

The Group's services involving financing before or in connection with an invoice maturing are now in the launch phase. The development of these services was previously organized as a separate unit, however as of the second quarter they are included in the existing regional organizations. For this reason, and because this initiative is still a small element of the Group, detailed financial results for these services will not be recognized separately for the time being.

Earnings per share for the quarter rose by 26 percent compared with the corresponding period last year and by 28 percent on a rolling 12-month basis. In the second quarter, earnings per share were affected by repurchasing, which reduced the number of shares outstanding by 3.5 percent compared with the second quarter last year.

A more detailed description of the development of the Group's financial development is provided below.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to a negative SEK 46 M (36). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items by SEK 1 M (1), and other financial items by a negative SEK 7 M (7). Other financial items refer primarily to bank fees and similar charges in connection with the Group's borrowing.

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 625 557 12 1,228 1,067 15

Cash flow from operating activities was affected positively by improved operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization and lower net investments in factoring receivables, but negatively by higher taxes and a higher level of working capital.

Cash flow from purchased debt for the second quarter amounts to SEK 625 M (557), defined as funds collected on purchased debt of SEK 867 M (761), with deductions for the service line's overheads, primarily collection costs of SEK 242 M (204).

Net Debt/RTM EBITDA 1.90 1.76
Shareholders' equity 2,982 2,945 1
Liquid assets 229 395 -42

The increase in consolidated net debt compared with the preceding year is primarily attributable to investments in purchased debt, dividends to shareholders, repurchases of the company's own shares and exchange rate fluctuations. The Group's net debt expressed as a multiple of operating earnings before depreciation and amortization totals 1.9, just under the lower interval for Intrum Justitia's financial target of 2-3 for this relationship.

In the second quarter the Group implemented a bond issue of SEK 1 billion within the framework of its MTN program, with the aim of increasing long-term financial flexibility. The Group's bank loans were also renegotiated after the end of the second quarter, see below under 'Events after the end of the period' for further details.

In the first quarter, Intrum Justitia repurchased 1,185,934 of its own shares for a total of SEK 219 M, and in the second quarter an additional 760,924 shares for a total of SEK 150 M. The average number of shares outstanding in the first half of the year was therefore 77,556,248. The average number of shares outstanding in the second quarter was 76,983,104. The 2,383,707 shares that were repurchased in 2013 and in the first quarter 2014 have been canceled, in accordance with the decision at the 2014 AGM. The number of outstanding shares following this measure totaled 77,360,944, of which 760,924 were repurchased in the second quarter and are now treasury shares.

Goodwill

Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,608 M as per June 30 2014, compared with SEK 2,542 M as per December 31, 2013. The increase since the start of the year was attributable to exchange rate fluctuations.

Regions

Effective from 2014, the composition of the Group's operating segments, the geographic regions, has changed. The change entails the operations in the Netherlands being included in the Northern Europe region rather than Western Europe. The comparison figures for 2013 have been recalculated in accordance with the new region structure. Recalculated figures for all four quarters in 2012 and 2013 have been published on the company's website.

earnings improved by 14 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, the improvement was 3 percent. The improvement in operating earnings excluding revaluations and currency effects is primarily attributable to greater cost efficiency and healthier growth within Credit Management from external clients. In the second quarter there were fewer problems relating to the overload of cases in the legal systems in Poland.

As with the performance in previous quarters, the region's improvement in operating earnings is mainly fueled by the increase in investments in purchased debt in previous periods. The integration of the purchased debt company that was acquired in the Czech Republic in the first quarter of 2014 is progressing according to plan and making a positive contribution to the region's earnings trend.

Revenues rose by 21 percent in the quarter compared with the year-earlier period. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 16 percent. Service line earnings improved by 23 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, the improvement was 18 percent. Income is growing mainly as a consequence of increased investment in purchased debt in previous years. Successful collection during the quarter coupled with positive revaluations contributed to a return on purchased debt of 21 percent. The investment level for the quarter was somewhat lower compared with the year-earlier period, partly as a consequence of lower investments in Poland.

For a description of Intrum Justitia's accounting principle for Purchased Debt, please see page 60 of the 2013 Annual Report.

Market outlook

Europe is characterized by considerable regional differences and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic situation in several countries. A substantially weakened macroeconomic situation in Europe, with increased unemployment, has a negative impact on Intrum Justitia.

Intrum Justitia believes that the Group's strategic focus is well suited to market trends, with a broadening of credit management services and a link to risk reduction and financing services based on strong, market-leading collection operations. Companies are experiencing a growing need to generate stronger and more predictable cash flow, as well as 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. The company lost an appeal to the Administrative Court of Appeal in February 2014. However, Intrum Justitia maintains 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 ruling to have the case considered by the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden.

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 40 M (35) for the sixmonth period and earnings before tax of a negative SEK 21 M (76). The Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets during the year and had, at the end of the year, SEK 7 M (120) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 51 (45).

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.

Acquisition of Profidebt sro

On January 31, 2014, Intrum Justitia agreed to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Czech company Profidebt sro for a cash purchase consideration of CZK 280 M, equivalent to SEK 90 M. The preliminary acquisition analysis is detailed in Intrum Justitia's Q1 interim report. The acquisition analysis has not been altered during the second quarter, but remains preliminary.

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 regulated operations, as well as 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 2013 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 July 16, the Board of Directors of Intrum Justitia AB resolved to continue with the company's repurchase program. The program runs up to and including September 22, 2014, covering repurchases totaling a maximum of SEK 250 M. Through the program, Intrum Justitia returns further funds to shareholders and it is the assessment of the Board of Directors that this will give the company a more optimized capital structure. The intention of the program is to reduce Intrum Justitia's share capital by canceling the shares that are repurchased. In accordance with the authorization provided by the 2014 Annual General Meeting, a maximum corresponding to 10 percent of the company's shares may be repurchased during the period extending until the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

On July 11, Intrum Justitia entered into an agreement with Swedbank and Nordea on changes to certain terms of the Group's syndicated loan facilities. Previous bank loans comprising a facility of SEK 4 billion and a facility of SEK 1 billion have been combined to a facility of SEK 5 billion. The new bank loan, like the existing one, is a revolving credit facility, on market terms with regard to borrowing costs and, in other regards, on similar terms to the previous loans. The maturity structure has also changed. The previous loans were for SEK 2 billion maturing in 2015, SEK 2 billion in 2016 and SEK 1 billion in 2017, while the new structure is SEK 2 billion maturing in 2017, SEK 2 billion in 2018 and SEK 1 billion in 2019. The new loan agreement also allows the Group to raise long-term financing of up to SEK 10 billion, compared with a maximum of SEK 8 billion under the previous loan agreement.

The comparison figures for the second quarter and first half of 2013 have been recalculated in this interim report, in accordance with the adjusted layout.

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.

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, the Netherlands, 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, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom.
