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 16, 2015.
Comment by President and CEO Lars Wollung
Intrum Justitia continued to perform well during the second quarter of 2015, with good earnings growth both for Financial Services and Credit Management Services. Compared with the year-earlier period, the Group's revenues for the quarter rose by 13 percent, of which organic growth totaled 5 percent. Operating earnings saw an improvement of 11 percent, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of portfolios.
In the second quarter, for the first time, we achieved all of the financial targets we announced two years ago. Growth in earnings per share amounted to 37 percent over the past twelvemonth period, which is well above our target of a 10-percent increase. The return on purchased debt was 24 percent, exceeding our target of 15 percent. Finally, we also achieved the lower interval for our capital structure, with our net debt in relation to operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization amounting to 2.0.
All three units in our regions are displaying an improvement in operating earnings excluding revaluations and currency effects. Developments have been particularly positive in Central Europe, where a number of operational improvement initiatives have resulted in improved collection and thereby increased profitability within Purchased Debt.
In our service lines, Financial Services has seen a particularly positive trend in the second quarter. The carrying amount of purchased debt rose by 7 percent compared with the yearearlier period, owing to the increase in investment levels in recent years. Collection on our portfolios performed well in the second quarter, generating an improvement in the return compared with the year-earlier period. The level of investment totaled SEK 509 M for the second quarter, which is 11 percent less than in the same period last year. As with previous quarters, we are seeing a good supply in several countries, but we are also experiencing significant price pressure.
Our Credit Management service line displayed positive growth in earnings in the second quarter. Acquired units continue to perform well. Our ambition ahead of the coming year is to up the pace of acquisition of small and medium-sized credit management companies, where we see good potential for value creation primarily with regard to cost synergies.
Intrum Justitia has enjoyed excellent growth over the past few years. The foundation for this is our focus and ability to generate value for our customers. Through a combination of credit management services and financial solutions we are able to strengthen our customers' competitive edge by improving cash flow and allowing them to concentrate on their core operations. For the coming year we are determined to continue creating significant value for our customers, thereby laying the ground for persistent profitable growth for Intrum Justitia.

Revenues and earnings
Over the second quarter, the Group's revenues rose by 13 percent, consisting of organic growth of 5 percent, acquisition effects of 2 percent, revaluations of purchased debt of 2 percent and currency effects of 4 percent. Operating earnings improved by 20 percent in the second quarter and, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the increase was 11 percent. As with the first quarter, currency effects had a positive impact on operating earnings in Q2, chiefly due to a stronger Swiss franc, of approximately SEK 17 M compared with the same period last year. Revaluations of purchased debt have also improved operating earnings for the second quarter by SEK 45 M, compared with SEK 23 M for the year-earlier period. The increase in operating earnings excluding currency effects and revaluations compared with the year-earlier period is primarily attributable to Purchased Debt, through growth in carrying amounts and healthy collection, which generated a higher return. In the Group's regions, it is primarily Northern Europe and Central Europe that increased operating earnings excluding revaluations and currency effects.
Earnings per share for the quarter rose by 26 percent compared with the year-earlier period. In the second quarter, earnings per share were affected by repurchasing, which reduced the average number of shares outstanding by 4.3 percent compared with the second quarter last year.
Net financial items
Net financial items for the quarter amounted to a negative SEK 43 M (46). Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items negatively by SEK 4 M (positive 1), and other financial items by a negative SEK 7 M (negative 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 20 percent. Further information regarding an ongoing tax dispute is provided in the section "Taxation assessments".

11 -6 -13 9 |
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 739 M, an increase of SEK 169 M compared with the year-earlier period, chiefly attributable to higher operating earnings excluding depreciation and amortization, as well as improved cash flow from working capital. The negative cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK 640 M, a rise of SEK 64 M compared with the same period last year, chiefly due to cash payments made for purchased debt investments being higher than accounting-based investments, and also higher than cash payments for purchased debt investments in the same quarter last year.
Cash flow from purchased debt for the second quarter amounted to SEK 693 M (625), defined as funds collected on purchased debt of SEK 984 M (867), with deductions for the service line's overheads, primarily collection costs of SEK 291 M (242).

| Liquid assets | 261 | 229 | 14 |
Intrum Justitia's net debt has risen by roughly SEK 0.8 billion compared with the year-earlier period, primarily as a result of share repurchases, which were carried out to adjust the Group's capital structure. The Group's net debt expressed as a multiple of operating earnings before depreciation and amortization totals 2.0, which is within the range of Intrum Justitia's financial target of 2-3 for this ratio. During the quarter, the Group obtained the long-term credit rating BBB– from Standard & Poor's.
In the second quarter, Intrum Justitia repurchased 384,439 shares for a total of SEK 100 M. The average number of shares outstanding in the second quarter was therefore 73,263,643. The average number of shares outstanding in the first half of the year was 73,476,541. The 3,939,616 shares that constituted treasury holdings at the time have been canceled, in accordance with the decision by the 2015 AGM. The shares that were repurchased in the second quarter constitute treasury holdings at the end of the quarter. After deductions for treasury holdings, the number of outstanding shares at the end of the quarter was 73,036,889.
Goodwill
Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,753 M as per June 30 2015, compared with SEK 2,719 M as per December 31, 2014. The increase since the start of the year was attributable to an acquisition in Switzerland amounting to SEK 36 M and negative exchange differences of SEK 2 M.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 11 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, revenues increased by 9 percent. Operating earnings improved by 8 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, revenues increased by 6 percent. Integration costs relating to the Danish acquisition impacted on earnings in the amount of SEK 3 M in the second quarter of 2015. The improvement in earnings excluding currency effects and revaluations is attributable to increased revenue from both organic and acquired growth, with persistently healthy margins in Purchased Debt and Credit Management services. Furthermore, the trend compared with the same period last year has been affected positively by improved earnings in the region's units for financing of invoices before maturity.

Operating earnings improved by 23 percent. Adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt, the improvement was 3 percent. The income trend excluding revaluations and currency effects has been affected positively by growth within Purchased Debt, but negatively by reduced revenue within Credit Management. The region has therefore experienced a slight increase in the operating margin, since Purchased Debt has higher profitability, relatively speaking. During the quarter, Credit Management acquired a minority stake in a French consumer receivables company, which increased the ownership from 70 percent to 100 percent. The investment totaled SEK 13 M.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 7 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Adjusted for currency effects the increase was 3 percent. Operating earnings improved by 9 percent. Adjusted for currency effects the increase was 5 percent. Revenue growth for the second quarter adjusted for currency effects is chiefly attributable to the acquisitions that were carried out in Denmark in October 2014 and in Switzerland in February 2015. The growth in revenue has generated an improvement in operating earnings, with margins on a par with those of the year-earlier period.

Revenues for the quarter rose by 21 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 15 percent. Operating earnings improved by 22 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, the improvement was 17 percent. Revenues and operating earnings excluding revaluations are mainly rising as a result of a higher carrying amount for purchased debt, due to increased investment in recent years and healthy collection levels, which have boosted the return to 24 percent compared with 21 percent in the previous year. Operating earnings have also been impacted positively by revaluations of SEK 45 M, compared with SEK 23 M in the year-earlier period. Excluding revaluations, the return on purchased debt was 21 percent, compared with 20 percent the previous year. The level of investment in purchased debt was slightly lower than in the same period last year, with market conditions consistent with previous quarters and a good supply in several markets, but significant price competition.
Market outlook
Europe is characterized by considerable regional differences and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic situation in several countries. A significantly 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 financial 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. The amount has been expensed to the Parent Company and was paid to the Swedish Tax Board in 2014. The company appealed the ruling in May 2014 to have the case considered by the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden.
Intrum Justitia is of the opinion 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 43 M (40) for the first six months of the year and earnings before tax of a negative SEK 62 M (21). The Parent Company invested SEK 0 M (0) in fixed assets during the first half of the year and at the end of the year had SEK 53 M (7) in cash and equivalents. The average number of employees was 52 (51).
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. The same accounting principles and calculation methods have been applied as in the most recent Annual Report.
Significant risks and uncertainties
Risks to which the Group and Parent Company are exposed include risks relating to economic developments, changes in regulations, reputation risks, risks attributable to customer awareness and money laundering, market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks, risks inherent in purchased debt and payment guarantees, as well as financing risks. The risks are described in more detail in the Board of Directors' report in Intrum Justitia's 2014 Annual Report.

The majority of the Group's financial assets and liabilities (purchased debt, accounts receivable, other receivables, liquid assets, liabilities to credit institutions, bond loans, commercial papers, accounts payable and other receivables) are valued in the financial statements at amortized cost. For these financial instruments, the carrying amount is deemed to be the best estimate of the fair value. The Group also has financial assets and liabilities in the form of forward exchange contracts, which are measured at fair value via profit/loss in the financial statements. The amounts were not significant.

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.

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 interestbearing 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.
The abbreviation 'RTM' refers to figures on a rolling 12-month basis.
