The merger with Lindorff was implemented on June 27, 2017. Accordingly, Lindorff has been included in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet since the second quarter of 2017. Where comparative figures are referred to as "pro forma", this mean that they are reported with Lindorff consolidated as of January 1, 2016. In connection with the merger, Intrum Justitia undertook to divest its Norwegian subsidiaries, as well as Lindorff's Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Estonian subsidiaries. These subsidiaries were divested in the second quarter of 2018, and are therefore reported as discontinued operations.

Comment by President and CEO Mikael Ericson

I am very pleased with the result of the second quarter of 2018. We have been making good and continued progress since the start of the year, hence there are encouraging signs that we are beginning to build momentum. This is clearly seen in the strong underlying EBIT which is up 20% compared to the first quarter.

The Portfolio Investments half of the business continues to deliver sustainable growth with a high investment level of SEK 2,4bn. At the same time, and more importantly, we have been able to maintain a healthy level of returns (ROI at 15 percent) by focusing on pricing discipline and sustained high level of collection performance. We are also making progress in the CMS area as synergy benefits and production efficiency activities start to take effect. Underlying revenues are up 2 percent compared to Q1 and margins reached 28 percent from 25 percent in Q1 2018. We are conscious of remaining challenges, particularly in Spain where the top line remains under pressure and where we will continue to take action on costs to protect margins if necessary.

The post-merger integration of our operations is progressing well and the relocation of activities, closure of sites and reductions of FTEs is approaching the final phase in all countries. We have now reached an annualized synergy run-rate of SEK 380M and we will deliver the full synergy benefit on time and according to previously communicated costs.

The second half of 2018 will undoubtedly be a period of intense activity in the European purchased debt market with a number of large transactions underpinning generally high levels of supply. Given our strong cash flow and solid funding position we are remaining confident in our ability to continue to source attractive deals at good returns. Those will support both our longer term growth and deleveraging objectives. The finalization of details of our strategic partnership with Banca Intesa Sanpaolo is also proceeding as planned and the portfolio is performing well in line with our business case. The close cooperation between the two companies has been highly productive and we anticipate closing in Q4 as earlier communicated.

After the end of the quarter our first acquisition in Brazil was realized, which will enable us to explore and familiarize ourselves with the market.

In late May we published our yearly European Payment Report, which showed among other things that a prospering economy shrinks bad debt losses among European companies. This yearly report, closely monitoring fair payment terms, is one of many important efforts we make to promote what we call a sound economy.

We anticipate a busy remainder of the year. It is a very active market and we have a strong pipeline for portfolio investments and good opportunities in CMS. Hence, we are confident of being able to continue to take advantage of our competitive strengths, broad and deep footprint, and further improve our fundamental collection performance demonstrating steady progress towards our 2020 goals.

Revenues and operating earnings

Consolidated net revenues for the second quarter increased to SEK 3.630 M (1.796). Pro forma for the second quarter of 2017, net sales were SEK 3,204 M. Consolidated operating earnings for the second quarter improved to SEK 1,240 M (476). The increase in revenues and operating earnings is primarily attributable to the merger with Lindorff. Pro forma for the second quarter of 2017, operating earnings were SEK 865 M. The operating earnings of SEK 1,240 M include nonrecurring items of SEK -173 M (pro forma in the preceding year, -192), items affecting comparability of SEK 218 M (pro forma in the preceding year, 0) and revaluations of SEK -1 M (pro forma in the preceding year, 64). Accordingly, operating earnings excluding non-recurring items, items affecting comparability and revaluations increased to SEK 1,196 M (pro forma in the preceding year, 993).

The outcome in the Group's regions and service lines is accounted for in greater detail below.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -344 M (-358). Net interest for the quarter amounted to SEK -289 M (-30). Exchange rate differences are included in net financial items in the amount of SEK -5 M (0), and other financial items are included by SEK -50 M (-328). Other financial items during the second quarter of the preceding year included non-recurring costs of SEK 316 M in connection with the Group's refinancing. Net interest and other financial items have been adversely affected by increased borrowing to finance the merger with Lindorff.

Taxes

Earnings for the quarter were charged with tax of 22 percent. Further information regarding an assessment of future tax expenses is provided in the section 'Taxation assessments'.

Consolidated net debt has decreased by approximately SEK 2 billion since the start of the year. The proceeds have been received from the sale of Intrum Justitia's former subsidiary in Norway and Lindorff's former subsidiaries in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia, with the sale transaction being completed on March 20, 2018, while, on the other hand, disbursements have been made for the year's share dividend and investments in portfolios and joint ventures.

Net debt in relation to pro forma rolling 12-month adjusted cash EBITDA amounted to 3.9 at the end of the quarter. This ratio is calculated by placing current consolidated net debt at the end of the quarter in relation to pro forma cash EBITDA, including operations being phased out and including a calculated cash EBITDA throughout the period for larger units acquired during the period, and excluding non-recurring items (NRIs). Net debt in relation to pro forma rolling 12month adjusted cash EBITDA increased by approximately 0.1 in the second quarter.

At the end of June, Intrum issued a two-year, non-covered bond of SEK1 billion, at STIBOR 3m +190 basis points. The bonds have been issued within the existing Swedish MTN program, with a settlement date in July, and will be listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. The funds will be used in the company's ongoing operations.

The merger with Lindorff was implemented on June 27, 2017 through a non-cash issue, whereby Intrum Justitia AB issued 59,193,594 new Intrum shares in exchange for all shares in Lock TopCo AS, the parent company of the Lindorff group. Accordingly, there were 131,541,320 shares in Intrum outstanding in the latter part of 2017. Over the second quarter of 2018, 250,000 shares were repurchased for SEK 56 M. Accordingly, the average number of shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2018 was 131,491,591 whereas the average number of shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2017 was 74,299,163.

Goodwill

On June 30, 2018, consolidated goodwill amounted to SEK 31,783 M, compared with SEK 29,565 M on December 31, 2017. Of the increase, SEK 169 M is attributable to the adjustment of the acquisition analysis from the merger with Lindorff, SEK 8 M to new acquisitions during the six-month period and SEK 2,041 M to exchange rate differences.

High investment levels in the quarter are driven mainly by major portfolio acquisitions in Greece and Hungary.

On a pro forma basis, growth was supported by an expanded investment portfolio supported by strong collection performance throughout the region and a step up provided by the acquisition of Italian company CAF in the fourth quarter of 2017, increasing both revenues and earnings. Intrum's strategic partnership with Banca Intesa Sanpaolo will not affect earnings until the completion of the transaction. Intrum's payments to the joint venture company, primarily regarding a pre-payment for the portfolio, are reported in the balance sheet and cash flow statement, while all costs for external funding of the transaction are capitalized to be paid later by the joint venture company. Pure transaction costs for the acquisition are included in common costs as an item affecting comparability (NRI).

On a pro forma basis, earnings were affected by the net effect of a large positive item affecting comparability of SEK 401 M due to the one-off compensation payment from the early termination of a major client contract and SEK -183 M for impairment write-down of client relationships for a client contract with Sabadell. Excluding these items affecting comparability, underlying operating earnings are up by 28 percent. The strong growth in operating earnings, excluding items affecting comparability, against a relatively weak comparison period, temporarily obscures the underlying maturing of several acquired client contracts. At the same time, earnings were affected positively by the growth in the investment portfolio and the effects of the restructuring announced in the first quarter.

The positive items affecting comparability of SEK 401 M provides compensation for lost future revenues and therefore has a long-term financially neutral effect for the Group. The negative item affecting comparability of SEK -183 M pertains to the impairment of an acquired client contract, where the reported value is no longer supported by expected future cash flows. The contract contains significantly poorer contractual protection for the Group than other client contracts acquired in Spain.

Growth in revenues and earnings on a pro forma basis is affected positively by the net effect of major positive and negative items affecting comparability in Spain. Excluding currency effects, underlying revenues increased marginally, and service line earnings declined marginally. Most of the units are developing well, with improved collection performance and cost efficiency supporting revenue growth, while the decline in underlying volumes in Spain reduces the overall growth rate. The service line margin for the quarter, excluding non-recurring items (NRIs) and items affecting comparability, is 28 percent, which is 3 percentage points higher than in the first quarter, although still slightly down year on year. Integration synergy benefits from the Merger with Lindorff and operational effectiveness activities are beginning to contribute and are expected to continue to increase going forward. External organic growth in Credit Management was $-1$ percent.

The increase in operating earnings on a pro forma basis is primarily attributable to the greater portfolio value.

On a pro forma basis, continued momentum in portfolio investments, combined with price discipline and strong collection performance, drives another strong quarter of financial

development for portfolio investments. Service line earnings increased by 12 percent excluding currency effects and by 23 percent excluding revaluations and currency effects. The carrying amount for portfolio investments has increased a further 7 percent since the end of the first quarter and is up 29 percent year-on-year. The relatively high level of investment for the quarter is explained by major acquisitions in Greece and Hungary, but also by a diverse range of medium-sized deals in both mature and fast growing markets. The return on portfolio investments was 15 percent. The large portfolios in Greece and Hungary added at the end of the quarter have not yet contributed any earnings but are included in the book value at the end of the quarter, thereby temporarily marginally lowering the return.

Common costs

Common costs decreased by SEK 15 M compared with the preceding quarter, as the benefits of integration synergies come through and the overhead activity levels normalize as anticipated.

Taxation assessments

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 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 88 M (48) for the six-month period and earnings before tax of SEK 2,382 M (-849). During the first half of the year, the Parent Company invested SEK 7 M (0) in fixed assets and held cash and cash equivalents of SEK 68 M (321) at the end of the first half of the year. The average number of employees was 72 (55).

Transactions with related parties

During the quarter, there have been no significant transactions between Intrum and other closely related companies, boards or Group management teams.

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.

In addition to appearing in the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A also appear in other parts of the interim report.

The Group applies IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. For reasons of competition, the Group was obliged to divest Intrum Justitia's subsidiaries in Norway and Lindorff's subsidiaries in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Estonia within a certain period following the merger with Lindorff. In accordance with IFRS 5, net earnings after tax in these companies is reported on a separate line in the consolidated income statement, Earnings for the period from discontinued operations after tax. The comparative figures for previous periods are recalculated accordingly. Assets and liabilities are reported on separate lines in the consolidated balance sheet. Assets and liabilities in operations held for sale, effective from the date on which the Group undertook to sell the companies. In accordance with IFRS 5, the comparative figures in the balance sheets are not recalculated for prior periods.

Effective from January 1, 2018, the Group applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The Group's accounting principles have thus changed with regard to portfolio investments, such that the Group's previous limitation that these could never be revalued to a higher value than their cost has been removed. The effect is an increase in the carrying amount as of January 1, 2018 of SEK 53 M and an increase in equity of SEK 50 M. In accordance with the exception stated in IFRS 9, comparison figures for earlier periods have not been recalculated. In connection with the introduction of IFRS 9, IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has also been adjusted, with the effect that income from portfolio investments according to the effective interest rate method, and positive and negative revaluations are now reported on separate lines in the consolidated income statement.

Effective from January 1, 2018, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is also applied. However, the introduction of IFRS 15 has not had a material impact on the Group's earnings or financial position. Group revenues are according to the disclosure requirements in IFRS 15 disaggregated into categories. Intrum reports revenues by region, service line and revenue type under the heading 'Operating segments'.

The Group is preparing for the introduction of IFRS 16 Leases, which will come into effect in 2019. See also Note 1 in the 2017 Annual Report.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Risks to which the Group and Parent Company are exposed include risks relating to economic developments, compliance and changes in regulations, reputation risks, tax risks, risks attributable to IT and information management, risks attributable to acquisitions, 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's 2017 Annual Report. No significant risks are considered to have arisen besides those described in the annual report.

Merger with Lindorff

On June 27, 2017, the merger between Intrum Justitia and Lindorff was completed and Lock TopCo AS (parent company in the Lindorff Group) with all subsidiaries has, since then, been owned by Intrum Justitia AB (publ). The sale of Lindorff's operations in Denmark, Estonia, Finland and Sweden, and Intrum's operations in Norway, which was a condition for the European Commission's approval of the transaction, was completed on March 20, 2018.

The merger was effectuated through a non-cash issue whereby Intrum AB issued 59,193,594 new Intrum shares, with a total market value of SEK 17,332 M, in exchange for all shares in Lock TopCo AS.

The preliminary acquisition analysis prepared by Intrum in connection with the merger has been adjusted to the following final acquisition analysis. A change from the preliminary acquisition analysis previously prepared is that contingent liabilities regarding some of Lindorff's litigation and tax disputes, that were ongoing as per the transaction date, are reported as short-term provisions in the final acquisition analysis.

Partnership with Banca Intesa Sanpaolo

In accordance with the description given in the interim report for the first quarter, Intrum signed a partnership agreement with the Italian bank Banca Intesa Sanpaolo in April, contributing a collection department with a labor force of 600 and a portfolio of overdue receivables that will be held alongside other investors. Intrum's net investment is calculated at EUR 670 M.

The transaction is conditional on the approval of the authorities and is expected to take place in November. It will comprise a significant contribution to Intrum's planned portfolio investments and acquisition strategy for 2018, supporting the Group's ambitions for profitable growth.

In the second quarter, Intrum made a contribution to the jointly owned company to be used, among other things, as advance payment for the portfolio investment. In the balance sheet, SEK 1,726 M is reported as participations in joint ventures.

Events after the end of the period

In July, a majority shareholding of 51 percent was acquired in the Brazilian credit management company iPlatform for a purchase consideration of USD 3.6 M. The company will be renamed Intrum.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Most of the Group's financial assets and liabilities (purchased debt, accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and equivalents, liabilities to credit institutions, bonds, commercial papers, accounts payable and other liabilities) are carried in the accounts at amortized cost. For these financial instruments, the carrying amount is assessed to be a good estimate of fair value. The Group also has financial assets and liabilities in the form of currency forward exchange contracts, which are carried in the accounts at fair value in the income statement. They amount to small sums.

Definitions

Result concepts, key figures and alternative performance measures

Consolidated net revenues

Consolidated net revenues include external credit management income (variable collection commissions, fixed collection fees, debtor fees, guarantee commissions, subscription income, etc.), income from portfolio investments operations (collected amounts less amortization and revaluations for the period) and other income from financial services (fees and net interest from financing services).

Operating earnings (EBIT)

Operating earnings consist of net revenues less operating expenses as shown in the income statement.

Operating margin

The operating margin consists of operating earnings expressed as a percentage of net revenues.

Portfolio investments – collected amounts, amortizations and revaluations

Portfolio investments consist of portfolios of delinquent consumer debts purchased at prices below the nominal receivable. These are recognized at amortized cost applying the effective interest method, based on a collection forecast established at the acquisition date of each portfolio. Net revenues attributable to portfolio investments consist of collected amounts less amortization for the period and revaluations. The amortization represents the period's reduction in the portfolio's current value, which is attributable to collection taking place as planned. Revaluation is the period's increase or decrease in the current value of the portfolios attributable to the period's changes in forecasts of future collection.

Revenues, operating earnings and operating margin, excluding revaluations

The revaluation of portfolio investments in the period is included in consolidated net revenues and operating earnings. Revaluations are performed in connection with changes in estimates of future collections and are therefore inherently difficult to predict. They have low forecast values for future earnings trends, particularly for an individual geographical region. Consequently, Intrum also reports alternative key figures in which revenues, operating earnings and operating margin are calculated excluding purchased debt revaluations.

Organic growth refers to the average increase in net revenues in local currency, adjusted for revaluations of portfolio investments and the effects of acquisitions and divestments of Group companies. Organic growth is a measure of the development of the Group's existing operations that management has the ability to influence.

Service line earnings

Service line earnings relate to the operating earnings of each service line, Credit Management and Financial Services, excluding common costs for sales, marketing and administration.

Service line margin

The service line margin consists of service line earnings expressed as a percentage of net revenues.

Return on portfolio investments

Return on portfolio investments 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. The ratio sets the service line's earnings in relation to the amount of capital tied up and is included in the Group's financial targets.

Net debt

Net debt is interest-bearing liabilities and pension provisions less liquid assets and interestbearing receivables.

FBITDA

Operating earnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are operating earnings after reversal of depreciation of fixed assets except portfolio investments.

Cash EBITDA

Cash EBITDA is operating earnings after depreciation on fixed assets as well as amortization and revaluations of portfolio investments 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 net debt divided by consolidated operating earnings before depreciation, amortization and impairment (EBITDA) on a rolling 12-month basis. The key figure is included among the Group's financial targets, is an important measure for assessing the level of the Group's borrowings, and is a widely-accepted measure of financial capacity among lenders.

Currency-adjusted change

With regard to trends in revenues and operating earnings, excluding revaluations for each region, the percentage change is stated in comparison with the corresponding year-earlier period, both in terms of the change in the respective figures in SEK and in the form of a currency-adjusted change, in which the effect of changes in exchange rates has been excluded. The currencyadjusted change is a measure of the development of the Group's operations that management has the ability to influence.

Non-recurring items (NRIs)

Significant earnings items that are not included in the Group's normal recurring operations and that are not expected to return on a regular basis. Non-recurring items include restructuring costs, closure costs, reversal of restructuring or closure reservations, cost savings programs, integration costs, extraordinary projects, divestments, impairment of non-current fixed assets other than portfolio investments, acquisition and divestment costs, advisory costs for

discontinued acquisition projects, costs for relocation to new office space, termination and recruitment costs for members of Group Management and country managers, as well as external costs for disputes and unusual agreements. Non-recurring items are specified because they are difficult to predict and have low forecast values for the Group's future earnings trend.

Items affecting comparability

Significant income statement items included in the Group's regular recurring operations and which may recur in any form, but which distort the comparison between the periods.

EBIT, EBITDA and Cash EBITDA, excluding NRIs

In accordance with the above, the key figures EBIT, EBITDA and Cash EBITDA are also reported after recurring non-recurring items, NRIs.

Expected remaining collections, ERC

Estimated remaining collections are the nominal value of expected future collections on the Group's portfolio investments.

Pro forma financial reports including Lindorff

Pro forma financial reports are issued for the Group including Lindorff, as if Lindorff had been included in the Group for the entire period, as well as in the comparative figures. Pro forma earnings have been calculated by adding Intrum's and Lindorff's actual results for each period without making adjustments for the periods in which transaction costs would have been incurred if the acquisition had taken place at another time. Fair value adjustments made in the acquisition analysis on Intrum Justitia's acquisition of Lindorff are not recognized in earnings for any period, although they can be recognized as costs in the acquired legal entity.

Portfolio investments

Investments in portfolios of overdue receivables for the period, with and without collateral, and investments in properties held for sale, acquired together with portfolios of receivables.
