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 April 23, 2014.

Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung

Intrum Justitia's development was favorable in the first quarter of 2014. Income rose by 15 percent and operating earnings rose by 18 percent compared with the year-earlier period, adjusted for revaluations of purchased debt portfolios and currency effects. Cash flow from operations increased by 14 percent and earnings per share rose by 21 percent.

During the quarter, development was strong in Western and Central Europe. In Western Europe, the increase is mainly being driven by improved growth and profitability in Credit Management, while Central Europe has enjoyed good development as a consequence of increased investment in Purchased Debt. In Northern Europe, our growth has been lower with relatively large differences between individual countries.

The Financial Services service line continues to develop stably with a 25-percent increase in income and a return on purchased debt of 19 percent – well above the Group's return requirement of 15 percent. The level of investment in Purchased Debt amounted to SEK 688 M for the quarter, approximately 25 percent lower than in the very strong first quarter last year.

The Credit Management service line had good growth in income in the first quarter due to increased volumes from Purchased Debt portfolios and a certain amount of acquired growth. Service line earnings were of a similar level as last year although margins were somewhat lower. Work to increase efficiency in the collection process, thereby improving margins in the service line, is progressing according to plan.

We are continuing our efforts to extend our offering in services involving financing solutions before receivables mature or in connection with their maturing. The Swedish and Finnish operations are developing as planned, while our Dutch unit has not lived up to our expectations, which is why we are working on adjusting our costs and restructuring that unit.

Revenues and earnings

January-March 2014

Over the first quarter, revenues rose by 15 percent, consisting of organic growth of 9 percent, acquisition effects of 4 percent, revaluations of purchased debt of a negative 1 percent and currency effects of 3 percent. Operating earnings improved by 20 percent in the first quarter and, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 18 percent. The improvement in operating earnings is mainly attributable to the favorable growth in purchased debt, which is highly profitable. Among the Group's regions, it is primarily Western and Central Europe that have improved their operating earnings for the first quarter compared with the corresponding period last year. A more detailed description of the development of operations in the Group is provided below.

Earnings per share for the quarter rose by 21 percent compared with the corresponding period last year and by 32 percent on a rolling 12-month basis. In the first quarter, earnings per share were affected by repurchasing, which reduced the number of shares outstanding by 2.0 percent compared with the first quarter last year.

The Group's services involving financing solutions before receivables mature or in connection with their maturing are at the start-up phase and burdened operating earnings for the first quarter of 2014 by SEK 14 M (8).

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 negatively by SEK 2 M (3), and other financial items by a negative SEK 10 M (6). 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 603 510 18 2,218

Cash flow from operating activities was affected positively by improved operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization but negatively by higher interest paid. Interest paid in the first quarter includes the annual interest on the bond loan.

3,275 3,057 7 3,316
315 373 -16 340

The increase in consolidated net debt compared with the preceding year is primarily attributable to dividends and repurchases of the company's own shares. A favorable earnings trend and strong operating cash flow mean that consolidated net debt in relation to operating earnings before depreciation and amortization is at a relatively low level of 1.68 (1.54).

In the first quarter, Intrum Justitia repurchased 1,185,934 of its own shares for a total price of SEK 219 M within the framework of the share repurchase program approved by the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Consequently, the company held 2,383,707 of its own shares and the number of shares outstanding at the end of the quarter amounted to 77,360,944, compared with 78,546,878 shares at the start of the year. The average number of shares outstanding in the first quarter was 78,135,760. The Board of Directors has proposed to the 2014 Annual General Meeting that the share capital in the company be reduced by cancelling the repurchased shares.

Goodwill

Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,542 M, and was largely unchanged since the start of the year.

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 instead of Western Europe. The comparison figures for 2013 have been recalculated in accordance with the new region structure. Restated figures for all four quarters in 2012 and 2013 have been published on the company's website.

Revenues excluding revaluations 590 581 2 2,481

Operating margin excluding revaluations, % 24 24 30

Revenues for the quarter and operating earnings were unchanged adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The region has good growth in several markets as a consequence of previous years' increased investments in purchased debt. In Poland, however, the overload of cases in the legal system continued in the first quarter, affecting operating earnings and volumes of investment in purchased debt negatively. In addition, the region is affected negatively by the higher level of losses in new financial services.

Central Europe

Operating margin excluding revaluations, % 28 27 24

Revenues for the quarter rose by 30 percent and operating earnings improved by 35 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The improvement in earnings in the region is being driven by increased investment in purchased debt. As reported previously, a major investment was also carried out in the Czech Republic during the first quarter, with the acquisition of a market-leading player in purchased debt.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 26 percent and operating earnings improved by 67 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, compared with the year-earlier period. The improvement in service line earnings was strong in the first quarter, primarily due to increased growth in Credit Management and earnings for the year-earlier period being relatively weak. The region's Investments in purchased debt reflect a positive trend with favorable future prospects in several markets.

Adjusted for currency effects, revenues rose by 9 percent in the quarter and service line earnings weakened by 4 percent. The growth in income derives primarily from acquisitions and increased volumes from credit management services to the Group's own portfolios. The service line's profitability decreased compared with the year-earlier period due to increased costs for enhancing the efficiency of the Group's collection processes.

Income grew as a consequence of increased investment in purchased debt in recent years. Successful collection during the quarter contributed 19 percent to return on purchased debt. Compared with the year-earlier period, the level of investment for the quarter was affected positively by a larger acquisition in the Czech Republic but also negatively by lower investment in Poland and by an unusually high level of investment last year.

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, affects Intrum Justitia negatively.

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. The company then appealed this decision to the Administrative Court of Appeal in October 2012 and to the Administrative Court of Appeal in February 2014, losing in both instances. 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 ruling and applied to have the case considered by the Sweden's highest level administrative court.

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 20 M (17) for the quarter and earnings before tax of a negative SEK 31 M (26). The Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets during the year and had, at the end of the year, SEK 6 M (3) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 49 (44).

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 company's operations primarily involve purchasing overdue receivables and it owns a portfolio of overdue receivables that Intrum Justitia valued at approximately CZK 862 M in connection with the acquisition, equivalent to SEK 276 M. Preliminarily, the company is reported in the consolidated accounts in accordance with the following:

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.

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 income 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 shared 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.
