+8.0% Organic growth Q4
12.9% Operating margin (EBITA) Q4
Loomis delivered solid financial results overall with strong operating results for the fourth quarter. Revenue amounted to SEK 7.9 billion with growth across all business lines. The operating income (EBITA) surpassed SEK 1 billion for the fourth quarter, which is our highest ever, and we increased our operating margin to 12.9 percent.
Our strong performance resulted in record high revenue and operating income (EBITA) for the full-year 2024. Revenue for the year surpassed SEK 30 billion with an operating margin (EBITA%) of 12.0 percent. The cash flow from operating activities was more than SEK 4 billion for the year, which in relation to the operating income (EBITA) was 112 percent.
Segment USA reported record revenues above SEK 4 billion with growth across all business lines for the fourth quarter. The implemented efficiency programs within CIT and CMS have resulted in an improved service quality with reduced staffing needs, which has led to a record high operating income (EBITA) of SEK 672 million with a strong operating margin of 16.6 percent. For the full year, segment USA delivered record high revenues of close to SEK 16 billion and an operating margin of 15.7 percent (14.3).
The European and Latin American segment had a strong recovery in the fourth quarter. Revenues hit an all-time high, while the operating margin improved to 12.1 percent (9.8). For the full year, segment Europe and Latin America reported revenues of close to SEK 15 billion and an operating margin of 11.1 percent (10.1).
Throughout the year, we have focused on increasing our profitability and we remain motivated moving forward. We have taken actions for operational efficiency within Europe and Latin America and continue to execute on our communicated restructuring plan.
Loomis Pay had a solid performance in the fourth quarter with revenues of SEK 31 million and transaction volumes above SEK 1.8 billion. The acquisition of Hosteltáctil earlier this year has positively contributed to our growth. I'm confident that expanding strategic partnerships is the right path forward. By partnering with or acquiring companies with a strong local offer and integrating them with our solutions, we are well-positioned for scalable growth.
Closing our strategic period and entering the next
Following our strong performance in the fourth quarter, I am proud to conclude that we have achieved all four of our strategic targets for the strategic period 2022-2024. We have exceeded our growth expectations, where our revenue CAGR, currencyadjusted, over the past three years is 11.8 percent. We ended 2024 within our operating margin target range with an operating margin of 12 percent. Even with our high revenue growth, we have successfully reduced our carbon emissions (scope 1 and 2) in absolute terms with 20 percent in 2024, compared to our base year 2019. And lastly, keeping our employees safe is a top priority, and we're proud to have significantly reduced workplace injury rates over the past three years by 23 percent.
In November, we held a Capital Markets Day and shared our strategic priorities and targets for 2025-2027. Our focus on revenue growth and operating margin remains crucial, while our commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and workplace injury rates aligns with broader sustainability goals. Loomis plays a vital role in society by delivering essential payment infrastructure. By expanding and implementing our integrated cash and digital solutions for SMEs in additional markets, we reinforce the importance of safeguarding cash infrastructure as a critical component of a resilient and inclusive society.
In closing, I want to thank our employees for their dedication over the past year. I also want to thank our customers for their trust and collaboration in developing our offering, and our shareholders for the continued support. I remain confident in our business and that we are well-positioned to deliver on our strategic priorities and targets for 2025-2027.

Following the successful acquisition of the Spanish company Hosteltáctil earlier this year, Loomis Pay has undergone a strategic repositioning. The focus is now on leveraging partnerships with established, locally tailored point-of-sale (POS) solutions as the foundation for launching Loomis' unique all-in-one payment solution in new markets. By partnering with or acquiring POS companies with an existing merchant network and integrating them with Loomis' payment gateway and cash-handling solutions, we position ourselves for scalable and efficient market entry.

Loomis plays an important role in ensuring efficient and sustainable payment flows in society. Loomis has a vision of a society where everyone has access to payment infrastructure and can choose their preferred payment method. Equal access to cash and payments is an increasingly important issue globally and there are more discussions around the world on the importance of access to all types of payments, including the ability to pay with cash.
Integrity is a central aspect of Loomis' values and corporate culture. As a business based on trust, Loomis needs to ensure compliance with all relevant legal requirements, but also from a business ethics perspective. Given Loomis' role in society, responsibility is taken to ensure that the appropriate processes are in place so that Loomis is a reliable partner to our customers and stakeholders.
During 2024, work has been ongoing to prepare the organization for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Loomis' double materiality analysis has provided insight to the focus areas and targets for the upcoming strategic period. With a well-defined sustainability agenda, Loomis is committed to leading the way in sustainability within the industry.
Keeping employees safe and minimizing the risk of injuries is one of Loomis' most important responsibilities. Through safety awareness initiatives across the Group, Loomis has reduced the number of injuries and the lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) in the fourth quarter compared to the previous year. The LTIFR has however increased sequentially compared to the previous quarter. On a full year basis, the LTIFR for 2024 is 23 percent lower than the corresponding period in 2021, which is the base year for the reduction target of 15 percent.
Loomis also continues to decrease its carbon emissions from fuel consumption and energy usage in absolute terms while growing the business. For 2024, Loomis has reduced its CO2e within Scope 1 and 2 by 20 percent compared to the base year of 2019. This is above the target of a 15 percent reduction in the same time period.
Thereby, Loomis has achieved both of the strategic sustainability targets for 2022–2024. More detailed information about Loomis initiatives within sustainability as well as additional KPIs will be published in Loomis' Annual and Sustainability Report 2024.
For the strategic period 2025-2027, Loomis has two strategic sustainability targets.
These are:
Loomis' carbon emission reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 have been developed in line with climate science methodology. Sustainalytics conducted a second party opinion of Loomis' Sustainability Linked Finance Framework with the same targets, where the ambition level was rated as 'highly ambitious'.
Loomis will report Scope 3 emissions in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024.

The Group's financial reports are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS, as adopted by the European Union) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and statements issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The most important accounting principles according to IFRS, which constitute the accounting standard for the preparation of this interim report, can be found in the annual report for 2023. These accounting principles are unchanged except for the application of fair value hedging. The principles for fair value hedging are set out below.
New or changed standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2025 are not expected to have any material effect on the Group's financial statements.
Loomis has applied the IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies for the operations in Turkey and Argentina.
The company has chosen to apply the accounting principles in IFRS 9 for fair value hedging from the third quarter of 2024. Changes in the fair value of derivatives (interest rate swaps) that are identified and qualify as fair value hedging are reported in the income statement under the item financial costs together with changes in fair value of the hedged item (bond loan) that can be attributed to the hedged risk.
For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 90 and 119 of the 2023 Annual Report. There have been no other significant changes compared to what is described in the Annual Report.
The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Sound risk management is one of Loomis' most important success factors. Given Loomis' history and the nature of the service offering, the Company has extensive experience in managing risk and takes a structured and proactive approach throughout the organization, at both local and central levels. Well-managed risk can create opportunities and add value to the business, while risk that is not efficiently managed can cause negative incidents and losses.
Loomis' risk management is an ongoing and iterative process. The risk environment changes over time and it is therefore necessary to continuously revisit, update and identify new risks. Risk management routines are integrated into the Group's business planning and performance monitoring. Significant processes are documented and any material risks associated with a specific process are identified and defined in a risk register. The annual risk assessment and the resulting risk register are coordinated and maintained at Group level.
Loomis is exposed to strategic, operational, legal and compliance, environment as well as financial risks. There are risks that pertain to Loomis itself and the industry as well as risks that are more general in nature. Risks that have been identified to be of key significance include payment market changes, data privacy, health and safety, attracting and retaining employees, fraud and corruption, information security, physical security, environment and climate, compliance, money laundering and financial risks.
For further information on risks, risk management and opportunities, see pages 67–73 of Loomis' Annual and Sustainability Report 2023.
According to Loomis financial policy, interest rate risk is defined as the risk that an interest rate change will negatively affect the value of an investment or financing cost. The risk that the Group is negatively affected by changes in the interest rate level, both through changes in the interest cost, cash flow risk and changes in the market value of liabilities and price risk.
The objectives for risk management as a result of interest rate changes are as follows:
The goal is to have a floating fixed interest rate and any deviation must be decided and approved by the board on a case-by-case basis. Should the company's financial situation change for the worse, which means that the interest expense becomes a significant part of the income statement, the interest management directives must be revised.
To the extent possible, hedging strategies should qualify for hedge accounting.
Loomis applies fair value hedging for liabilities (bond loans) that run at a fixed interest rate. In a fair value hedging of interest rate risk have nominal amount, settlement date, maturity date and coupon rate have been identified as critical. If these critical conditions match between the hedged item (the bond loan) and the hedging instrument (the interest rate swap), is considered effective. This means that the value of the hedging instrument (the interest rate swap) and the hedged item (the bond loan) usually develop in the opposite direction due to the same risk. Assessment of effectiveness is done by comparing the value change in the interest rate swap with the value change for the bond loan. Inefficiencies that arise in a hedging relationship are reported in the income statement.
Changes in general economic conditions and market trends have various effects on demand for cash handling services. These include cash usage trends, changes in consumption levels, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses, and the staff turnover rate.
The preparation of financial reports requires the Board of Directors and Group Management to make estimates and assessments. Estimates and assessments affect both the income statement and the balance sheet as well as the information disclosed on things like contingent liabilities. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and assessments depending on other circumstances or conditions.
In 2024, the actual financial outcome of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2023 and where applicable, under the heading "Critical estimates and assessments" in Note 1 of this report, may deviate from the financial assessments and provisions made by management. This may impact the Group's profitability and financial position.
Loomis' earnings fluctuate across the seasons and this should be taken into consideration when making assessments based on interim financial information. The primary reason for these seasonal variations is that the need for cash handling services increases during the vacation periods.

Loomis has operations in a number of countries, with country presidents being responsible for each country. Segment presidents supervise operations in a number of countries and also support the respective country president. Operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal Loomis reporting, submitted to Loomis' CEO who has been identified as the most senior executive decision-maker within Loomis. Loomis has the following segments: Europe and Latin America, USA, Loomis Pay and Group-wide functions. Presidents for the segments are responsible for following up the segments' operating income before amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and revenue and items affecting comparability (EBITA), according to the manner in which Loomis reports its consolidated statement of income. This then forms the basis for how the CEO monitors development, allocates resources etc. Loomis has therefore chosen this structure for its segment reporting.

For details of the Group's contingent liabilities, reference is made to Note 28 in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2023. Below follows a description of material updates during the quarter.
Loomis' Danish subsidiary was informed at the beginning of July 2018 that a competitor had filed a lawsuit with a Danish court. The suit relates mainly to alleged misuse of a dominant position in the Danish market. The total claim, following an adjustment by the competitor in 2020, amounts to DKK 227 million plus interest. Loomis is of the opinion that it had acted in compliance with the laws in effect and contested the lawsuit.
As previously disclosed, a Danish court issued a ruling in 2021 that went against Loomis. Loomis appealed the ruling since the company continued to be of the firm opinion that Loomis had acted in compliance with relevant laws. No outflow of resources was deemed probable related to the lawsuit. Therefore, no provision had been recognized in the balance sheet regarding this dispute by end of 2023.
In March 2024 it was announced, and communicated in a company press release, that the court of appeal dismissed Loomis' appeal. The courts had in its decisions not yet considered the question of damages, but only the question of liability. Loomis' assessment is still that the competitor does not have grounds for these claims.
After the ruling in March, Loomis filed a request for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court in Denmark, and the outcome of this request came in November 2024. Loomis was granted leave for the predation part of the claim, but no grant for the exclusivity part of the claim. Due to this outcome, the company has carried out an analysis attempting to find a reliable estimate of its potential obligation should the company not be successful in the continuing legal process related to exclusivity. In alignment with the above, Loomis does consider that the requirements for a provision according to IAS 37 have been met. Hence, there is a provision in items affecting comparability in the fourth quarter of SEK 66 million.

To support Group Management and other stakeholders to analyze the Group's financial performance, Loomis reports certain performance measures that are not defined by IFRS. Group Management believes that this information facilitates analysis of the Group's performance. The Loomis Group primarily uses the following alternative performance measures (see also Definitions for a full list of measures):
Loomis' main measure of cash flow (cash flow from operating activities) focuses on the current cash flow from operating activities based on EBITA adding back amortization/depreciation and the effect of changes in accounts receivable, as well as changes in other working capital and other items. Cash flow from operating activities reflects the cash flow that the operating activities generate before payments of financial items, income tax, items affecting comparability, acquisitions and divestments, as well as dividends and changes in the Group's net debt. Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of operating income (EBITA) illustrates the cash conversion that Loomis has, i.e. how recognized earnings have resulted in cash flow.
Loomis provides an alternative presentation of cash flow which includes cash flow from operating activities adjusted for the impact of IFRS 16 Leases. This is presented in the section Financial Reports in this report.
Since Loomis generates most of its revenue in currencies other than the reporting currency (i.e. Swedish kronor, SEK) and exchange rates have historically proved to be relatively volatile, and since the Group has made a number of acquisitions, sales growth is presented both as exchange rate adjusted and adjusted for both exchange rate fluctuations and effects from acquisitions. This makes it possible to analyze and explain growth, excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions.

Loomis' internal control of operating activities is focused on the operating income that is created within and can be impacted by local operating activities. For this reason Loomis has chosen to focus on earnings and margins before interest, taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible fixed assets, acquisition-related costs and revenue, and items affecting comparability.

Net debt is an important concept to understand a company's financing structure and leverage. Net debt is the net of interestbearing liabilities and assets, and is used together with shareholders' equity to finance the Group's capital employed. Loomis excludes funds within cash processing operations and financing of funds within cash processing operations (so-called stock funding) from the definition of net debt. The financial leverage is measured by calculating net debt as percentage of operating income after adding back amortization and depreciation, i.e. net debt/EBITDA.

Capital employed is a measure of how much capital is tied up in operating activities and that is therefore expected to generate returns in the form of operating income. Capital employed is equivalent to the sum of all financing in the form of net debt and shareholders' equity. Loomis includes funds within cash processing operations and financing of funds within cash processing operations (so-called stock funding) in the definition of capital employed.

We have reviewed the interim report for Loomis AB (publ) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2024. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. 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 a different
focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA 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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared 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.
