COMMENT BY PRESIDENT AND CEO MIKAEL ERICSON
Intrum Justitia continued to perform well during the third quarter. As in the second quarter, we achieved all of our financial targets with regard to growth in earnings per share, return on purchased debt and capital structure. Our operating earnings of SEK 517 M are the highest in the Group's history to-date. Earnings per share increased over the twelve past months by 12 percent.
In our regions, the third quarter entails a strong development, mainly for Central Europe, where good growth in purchased debt and high operating efficiency contributes to profitable growth. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating earnings in Northern Europe and Western Europe for the third quarter were somewhat lower than the previous year.
For our service areas, we have strong growth in Financial Services. For the third quarter, investments in purchased debt amounted to SEK 646 M, compared with SEK 320 M for the year-earlier period. So far this year, we have increased investments in purchased debt by around 50 percent compared with the previous year. The return on purchased debt adjusted for items affecting comparability and revaluations decreased compared with the year-earlier period, but remains at a very strong level of around 18 percent. In the Credit Management Services, we have a stable development with unchanged income and operating margins compared to the same period last year.
I continue to view Intrum Justitia's conditions for growth as very positive, in a market characterized by significant opportunities. We have a good momentum in our core business with an investment level in purchased debt that amounted to SEK 3.1 billion in the past 12 months, compared with SEK 1.8 billion for the same period last year. The market for purchased debt is currently undergoing a period of price pressure, but we also see a very strong supply for the next several years, entailing good chances to continue increasing our earnings. In Credit Management, we have good conditions for profitable growth through add-on acquisitions. In October, we concluded two such transactions in Denmark and Spain and we have thereby made four add-on acquisitions so far this year.
We also continue the work to increase our addressable market through a disciplined increase in our presence in new asset classes for purchased debt and through growth in new customer segments. In some of our markets, we see good opportunities to grow through acquisitions of secured debt. In both purchased debt and in credit management, we see good potential to grow in the customer segment for small and medium-sized enterprises. We also do not rule out expansion to new countries in Europe if we can identify acquisitions that enable us to reach a marketleading position. Altogether, we therefore see very good growth opportunities for Intrum Justitia in coming years.

REVENUES AND EARNINGS EARNINGS
JULY-SEPTEMBER 2016 SEPTEMBER 2016 2016
Consolidated earnings after tax rose by 14 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Earnings per share for the quarter rose by 14 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Earnings per share were affected by repurchasing in 2015, which reduced the average number of shares outstanding by 0.7 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015.
Consolidated net revenues in the third quarter increased by 7 percent compared with the previous year, with 6 percent attributable to organic growth and 1 percent to acquisition effects. Revaluations of portfolios had a positive impact of SEK 29 M on operating earnings in the third quarter compared with an equal amount in the year-earlier period. Operating earnings thereby improved by 14 percent during the quarter and, adjusted for currency effects and revaluations of purchased debt portfolios, the improvement was 16 percent.
Operating earnings include a positive item affecting comparibility of SEK 15 M from the divestment of portfolios of purchased debt in Great Britain, in the Western Europe region and the Financial Services service line. The SEK 15 M affected collection in an amount of SEK +35 M, amortization of purchased debt in an amount of SEK –24 M and operating costs in an amount of SEK +4 M. Operating earnings for the same period last year were charged with an item affecting comparability of SEK 31 M, which primarily impacted revenues and service line earnings for Financial Services in the Northern Europe region.
The increase in operating earnings excluding revaluations and items affecting comparibility compared with the year-earlier period is mainly attributable to improved earnings in Financial Services resulting from higher investments in purchased debt while the development for Credit Management was relatively unchanged compared with the year-earlier period. In the Group's regions, it is mainly Central Europe that contributed to the earnings increase for the third quarter.
NET FINANCIAL ITEMS FINANCIAL ITEMS
Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK –48 M (–39). The net interest expense amounted to SEK –35 M (–31). The net interest expense has been affected negatively by higher borrowing, but positively by lower market interest rates. Exchange rate differences have affected net financial items by SEK –6 M (–1), and other financial items by 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 20 percent. Further information regarding an assessment of future tax expense is provided in the section 'Taxation assessments'.

Cash flow from operating activities over the third quarter amounted to SEK 837 M (805). Cash flow from operating activities was positively impacted by higher earnings excluding depreciation and amortization and lower interest payments compared with the year-earlier period. Cash flow has also been impacted by negative cash flow from working capital, mainly due to current value added tax debt that was assumed in connection with acquisitions of portfolios with purchased debt.

Intrum Justitia's net debt increased by SEK 1.2 billion compared with the year-earlier period. The Group's net debt expressed as a multiple of operating earnings before depreciation and amortization totals 2.0, within the interval for Intrum Justitia's financial target of 2.0-3.0 for this ratio.
No share repurchases were carried out in the first quarter, which means the number of shares outstanding was 72,347,726 shares, compared with an average of 72,885,064 shares in the yearearlier period.
GOODWILL
Consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 2,909 M as per September 30, 2016, compared with SEK 2,810 M as per December 31, 2015. Of this increase, SEK 14 M is attributable to acquisitions and SEK 85 M to exchange-rate differences.

The region's revenue growth of 10 percent adjusted for revaluations and currency effects is attributable to higher income in Financial Services resulting from higher investments in purchased debt. The positive development for purchased debt also provides improved operating earnings and a better operating margin compared with the year-earlier period. The region's unit for financing solutions in e-commerce in Switzerland has been chosen as the supplier of payment solutions for consumers to the Swiss railway company SBB.

The region's revenues adjusted for revaluations and currency effects increased by 3 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Operating earnings adjusted for revaluations and currency effects increased by 12 percent compared with the year-earlier period. An item affecting comparability has impacted revenues for the third quarter positively by SEK 11 M, and operating earnings positively by SEK 15 M. The development in the region excluding items affecting comparability is positive for purchased debt in Financial Services, with profitable growth and high activity in several markets. In Credit Management, the region has a negative development
mainly due to lower revenues from external clients. Activities to improve the development in Credit Management will be implemented in upcoming quarters.

Revenues for Financial Services increased by 20 percent excluding currency effects and revaluations. Service line earnings increased by 26 percent excluding currency effects and revaluations. Third-quarter earnings include a positive earnings effect of SEK 15 M and a negative earnings effect of SEK 31 M for the same period the previous year that are items affecting comparability. Service line earnings adjusted for revaluations and the items affecting comparability increased by 10 percent, primarily as a result of higher investments in purchased debt that compensates for a somewhat lower return on acquired portfolios. The return on purchased debt adjusted for revaluations and items affecting comparability amounted to 18 percent for the third quarter, compared with 20 percent for the same period last year. There is a good supply of purchased debt and the Group continues to increase the level of investment. For the third quarter, investments in purchased debt amounted to SEK 646 M, compared with SEK 320 M for the year-earlier period.

REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Intrum Justitia AB (publ), corporate identity number 556607- 7581.
Introduction
We have performed a general review of the interim financial report for Intrum Justitia AB (publ) for the period January–September 2016. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Focus and scope of the review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has another focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS VALUE FINANCIAL IAL INSTRUMENTS
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. They amount to small sums.

DEFINITIONS
EARNINGS TERMINOLOGY, KEY FIGURES AND AL TERMINOLOGY, KEY FIGURES AND AL, KEY AND ALTERNATIVE INDICATORS TERNATIVE INDICATORS TERNATIVE INDICATORS
CONSOLIDATED NET REVENUE
Consolidated net revenue includes external credit management income (variable collection commissions, fixed collection fees, debtor fees, guarantee commissions, subscription income, etc.), income from purchased debt operations (collected amounts less amortization for the period and revaluation) and other income from financial services (fees and net interest income from financing services).
OPERATING EARNINGS (EBIT)
Operating earnings comprises net revenue less operating expenses as presented by the income statement.
OPERATING MARGIN
The operating margin comprises the operating earnings expressed as a percentage of net revenues.
PURCHASED DEBT – COLLECTED AMOUNTS, AMORTIZATION AND REVALUATION
Purchased debt consists of portfolios of delinquent consumer debts purchased at prices below the nominal receivable. They are recognized at amortized cost with application of the effective interest method, based on a collection forecast prepared at the time of acquisition for the respective portfolio. The net revenue for the period attributable to purchased debt comprises collected amounts less amortization for the period and revaluation. Amortization is the period's decrease in the present value of the portfolios attributable to collection occurring according to plan. Revaluation is the period's increase or decrease of the present value of the portfolios that is attributable to the period's changes in forecasts of future collections.
REVENUES, OPERATING EARNINGS AND OPERATING MARGIN EXCLUDING REVALUATIONS
The period's revaluation of purchased debt is included in the consolidated net revenue and operating earnings. Revaluation takes place upon changes in forecasts of future collections, and is therefore difficult to predict by its nature. They have low forecast value for the Group's future earnings trend. Intrum Justitia therefore also presents alternative indicators where revenue, operating earnings and operating margin have been calculated excluding revaluations of purchased debt.
ORGANIC GROWTH
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. Organic growth is a measurement of the development of the Group's existing business that management has the possibility to influence.
SERVICE LINE EARNINGS
Service line earnings refer to operating earnings for the respective service lines of Credit Management and Financial Services, excluding common expenses for sales, marketing and administration.
SERVICE LINE MARGIN
The service line margin comprises the service line earnings expressed as a percentage of net revenues.
RETURN ON PURCHASED DEBT
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'. This key figure relates the service line earnings to tied up capital, and is included in the Group's financial targets.
CASH FLOW FROM 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. The figure is thereby a measure of the cash flow from the portfolios of purchased debt that were historically acquired without regard to investments in new portfolios.
NET DEBT
Net debt is interest-bearing liabilities and pension provisions less cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing receivables.
OPERATING EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (EBITDA) 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.
RTM
The abbreviation 'RTM' refers to figures on a rolling 12-month basis.
NET DEBT/RTM OPERATING EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (EBITDA)
This key figure refers to the net debt divided by the consolidated operating earnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) on a rolling 12-month basis. The key figure is among the Group's financial targets, and is a central measure to assess the level of the Group's borrowing and is a generally accepted measure of financial capacity among creditors.
CURRENCY-ADJUSTED CHANGE
In terms of the development of revenue and operating earnings excluding revaluations for the respective region, the percentage change is stated compared with the year-earlier period both in the form of the change in the respective figure in SEK and in the form of a currency-adjusted change where the effect of changed exchange rates have been excluded. The currency-adjusted
change is a measurement of the development of the Group's business that management has the possibility to influence.
ACQUISITION-RELATED DEPRECIATION
Acquisition-related depreciation pertains to depreciation of customer relationships and other surplus values that are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a result of acquisitions made by Intrum Justitia.
