Comments by the President and CEO
Our focus on increasing volumes in our Cash Management Services operations and on improving cost efficiency continued to yield results in the fourth quarter.
Our focus on increasing volumes in our Cash Management Services (CMS) operations and on improving cost efficiency continued to yield results in the fourth quarter. The Group's operating margin for the quarter amounted to 12.3 percent (11.6), which is the highest operating margin Loomis has had in a fourth quarter. The organic growth for the quarter was 4 percent (3). In the US the strong sales trend for SafePoint continues and the concept is now being introduced, albeit on a smaller scale, in Europe. We believe that there are good prospects for successful SafePoint sales in the long term in Europe as well.
As I summarize the full year 2016 I can report a positive development. Our operating margin increased to 11.2 percent (10.6) and our organic growth was 5 percent (2). The year was mainly characterized by increased volumes in the USA and our ongoing efforts to improve efficiency in several of our operations. In 2016 we also acquired BKS in Denmark and divested the general cargo operations, previously a part of Loomis International. The acquisition of BKS has made us the market leader in Denmark and the divestment of the general cargo operations has enabled us to sharpen our focus on the remaining core business within our International segment.
The strong organic growth continued in the USA and amounted to 8 percent (10) for the quarter. The growth was generated by both increased volumes within CMS and an increased share of the market in both CMS and Cash In Transit (CIT). We have sustained our strong growth in CMS and SafePoint – a trend that is going in the direction we want to see. Revenue from SafePoint grew by 21 percent compared to the same quarter in 2015 and accounted for 11 percent of the quarter's total revenue in the USA. We installed 520 SafePoint units during the quarter and at the end of December the total number of installed units was 19,020. The increased SafePoint and CMS volumes, in combination with the continuing efficiency improvements, have had a positive impact on our operating margin. During the quarter we increased our operating margin in the USA to 12.1 percent (11.7). Our success in improving our operating margin accompanied by our strong organic growth is a confirmation – in this quarter too – of our strong position in the US market.
The operating margin for Segment Europe amounted to 14.6 percent (14.0). Our operations in many countries have contributed to the improved profitability, but I would in particular like to highlight the UK where successful action programs have significantly improved our operating margin. Organic growth for the segment was 0 percent (1). Positive growth particularly in Spain, Argentina and Turkey, was offset by a negative development in the Nordic countries. Volumes in the UK were slightly lower during the quarter as some of the retail customers, we took over in connection with the acquisition of Cardtronics' cash handling operations in UK in summer 2015, chose other suppliers in 2016. Integration work after the acquisition in Denmark earlier in the year is progressing well and we are optimistic that the positive effects we have seen so far will continue in 2017. On January 27, 2017, we announced the acquisition of the Belgian company Cobelguard. The acquisition further expands our European footprint and gives us the opportunity to benefit from the ongoing outsourcing trend.
Our International segment had positive organic growth and amounted to 6 percent (–12) for the quarter. The organic growth is primarily derived from increased revenue from cross-border transportation of bank notes. The operating margin for the quarter also improved, amounting to 8.1 percent (6.8). The divestment of the general cargo operations has enabled us to further focus on the core business resulting in an increased profitability for the segment.
I am pleased to present another successful quarter and year for Loomis. We have followed the strategy we established and we are well on our way towards reaching the targets we announced in September 2014. The revenue and operating margin targets we set in 2014 are for the whole of 2017 and we are working at full speed to update the strategy and targets for the period beyond 2017. On September 28, 2017, we will hold a capital markets day in London at which we will present our updated strategy and new targets.
Loomis is one of the world's leading cash handling companies, but there is more work for us to do. I look forward to leading Loomis into the next phase and creating more value for all of our stakeholders.

October – December 2016
Revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 4,421 million compared to SEK 4,144 million for the corresponding quarter the previous year. The organic growth of 4 percent (3) is mainly related to increased revenue from cash management services (CMS) and SafePoint in the USA. The real growth amounted to 4 percent (5) and includes revenue attributable to the acquisition implemented in August 2016 of Bankernes Kontantservice A/S (BKS) in Denmark and the acquisition completed in the USA in 2015. Real growth was negatively affected by the divestment of the general cargo operations at the beginning of July 2016.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 543 million (479) and the operating margin improved to 12.3 percent (11.6). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 48 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by organic growth in CMS and SafePoint in the USA, and by the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results in several countries.
The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 512 million (445), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –15 million (–16) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –15 million (–18). The acquisitionrelated costs are mainly relating to the acquisition of BKS.
Income before tax of SEK 477 million (415) includes a net financial expense of SEK –35 million (–30).
The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK –135 million (–116), which represents a tax rate of 28 percent (28).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 4.55 (3.97).
January – December 2016
Revenue for the full year 2016 amounted to SEK 16,800 million (16,097) and organic growth was 5 percent (2). The cash management contract implemented incrementally in the USA in 2015, increased revenue from SafePoint and higher sales in a number of European countries are the main explanations for the organic growth. The real growth amounted to 5 percent (7) and includes revenue attributable to the acquisition implemented in August in Denmark and the acquisitions in the USA and the UK in 2015. Real growth was negatively affected by the divestment of the general cargo operations at the beginning of the third quarter of 2016.
The operating income (EBITA) for the full year amounted to SEK 1,890 million compared to SEK 1,703 million the previous year. At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 194 million. Organic growth in CMS and SafePoint in the USA, and the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results in both Europe and the USA, are the main explanations for the operating margin improvement to 11.2 percent (10.6).
The operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 1,852 million (1,575), which includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of SEK –62 million (–62), acquisition-related costs of SEK –56 million (–79) and an item affecting comparability of SEK 81 million (12). The acquisition-related costs are mainly costs relating to the acquisition of BKS in Denmark. The item affecting comparability relates to a capital gain reported following the divestment of the general cargo operations.
Income before taxes of SEK 1,735 million (1,461) includes a net financial expense of SEK –117 million (–114).
The tax expense for the year amounted to SEK –477 million (–392), which represents a tax rate of 27 percent (27).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 16.73 (14.21).

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe October – December 2016
Revenue for Segment Europe amounted to SEK 2,214 million (2,113) and organic growth was 0 percent (1). Positive growth in a number of countries – primarily Spain, Turkey and Argentina – had a positive impact on organic growth. This growth was, however, offset by lower volumes in the Nordic countries and in the UK. The lower volumes in the UK are a result of the fact that a few retail customers, taken over in connection with the acquisition of Cardtronics' cash handling operations in the UK in 2015, have chosen other suppliers. The real growth amounted to 4 percent (4) and includes revenue attributable to the Danish company BKS which was acquired on August 22, 2016.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 324 million (295) and the operating margin improved to 14.6 percent (14.0). The improved operating margin is explained by ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results in several countries. Profitability improvement was most evident in the UK where initiatives taken to manage the increased volumes in 2015 continued to yield results in the form of improved service quality and higher operational efficiency. Action programs are currently in progress in the Nordic countries to compensate for the lower volumes.
January – December 2016
Revenue for the full year 2016 amounted to SEK 8,384 million compared to SEK 8,332 million the previous year. The organic growth for Segment Europe remained unchanged in 2016 amounting to 0 percent (1). Positive growth in a number of countries – mainly Spain, Turkey and Argentina – was offset by lower volumes in the Nordic countries and in the UK. The real growth of 3 percent (4) includes revenue from the acquisition of Cardtronics' cash handling operations in the UK implemented in 2015 as well as revenue from the acquisition of the Danish company BKS in August 2016.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,119 million (1,055) million and the operating margin was 13.4 percent (12.7). The improvement is explained by continuing efforts to improve efficiency which continue to yield results in several countries. Profitability improvement has been most evident in the southern European countries and the UK. The initiatives taken in the UK to manage the increased volumes resulting from the above-mentioned acquisition and the contract signed with Tesco in 2014 have been successful in terms of both higher service quality and improved operational efficiency. Action programs are currently in place in the Nordic countries to compensate for the lower volumes, which have had a slightly negative effect on the operating margin.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA October – December 2016
Revenue for Segment USA in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1,968 million compared to SEK 1,708 million for the corresponding quarter the previous year. Increased revenue relating to cash management services (CMS) and increased SafePoint revenue are the main explanations for the organic growth of 8 percent (10). Revenue from SafePoint during the quarter amounted to 11 percent of the segment's total revenue. The organic growth was also positively impacted by revenue relating to the cash in transit (CIT) contract signed with the State Employees' Credit Union in North Carolina at the beginning of 2016. The real growth amounted to 9 percent (11) and includes revenue from the acquisition of the Global Logistics' operations from Dunbar Armored Inc. in 2015. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, had a marginally positive impact on growth for the quarter, but did not significantly affect the operating income.
Revenue from CMS amounted to 32 percent (32) of the segment's total revenue.
Operating income (EBITA) for the quarter amounted to SEK 239 million compared to SEK 200 million for the corresponding period the previous year and the operating margin improved to 12.1 percent (11.7). The main explanations for the improved profitability are economies of scale due to increased CMS and SafePoint volumes as well as the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results.
January – December 2016
Revenue for full year 2016 for Segment USA amounted to SEK 7,325 million (6,428). The organic growth, which was 11 percent (6), is mainly explained by revenue relating to the CMS contract implemented incrementally in 2015, as well as increased revenue from SafePoint which amounted to 11 percent of the segment's total revenue for the full year 2016. The organic growth was also impacted by revenue from the CIT contract signed with State Employees' Credit Union in North Carolina earlier in the year. The real growth of 12 percent (7) includes revenue from the acquisition of the Global Logistics' operations from Dunbar Armored Inc. in 2015. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, reduced growth marginally for the full year, but did not significantly affect the operating income.
Revenue from CMS for the full year 2016 amounted to 33 percent (31) of the segment's total revenue.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 842 million (692) and the operating margin was 11.5 percent (10.8). The improvement is mainly explained by organic growth in combination with the sustained increase in the proportion of revenue from CMS and SafePoint as well as the efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results.

Revenue and operating income – Segment International October – December 2016
Revenue for Segment International was lower than the corresponding quarter the previous year and amounted to SEK 252 million (342). The general cargo operations were divested as of 1 July 2016, which explains the lower revenue and the negative real growth of –30 percent (–12). The organic growth amounted to 6 percent (–12) and is mainly explained by increased demand for cross-border transportation of bank notes. The growth was offset to some extent by a decline in demand for transportation of gold to India, one of the world's largest gold importers. The decline is a result of an increase in import taxes on gold and jewelry introduced in India at the beginning of the year.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 20 million (23) and the operating margin was 8.1 percent (6.8). The comparative figures for 2015 include the general cargo operations which were divested on July 1, 2016. The remaining operations have higher profitability compared with the divested operations.
January – December 2016
Revenue for the full year 2016 for the segment amounted to SEK 1,149 million compared to SEK 1,419 million the previous year. The lower revenue and the negative real growth, which amounted to –17 percent (n/a), is mainly explained by the divestment of the general cargo operations on 1 July 2016. The organic growth, which was 0 percent (n/a), was positively impacted by increased demand for cross-border bank note transportation. The growth was, however, offset by low demand for gold transportation in India for most of the year. The imported volumes to India were greatly affected by India increasing its import taxes on gold and jewelry at the beginning of 2016. The volumes to India recovered slightly towards the end of the year. Demand for transportation of precious metals and transports to and from art exhibitions was also low, which had a negative impact on business volumes.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 77 million (87) and the operating margin for the period was 6.7 percent (6.1). The comparative figures for 2015 include the general cargo operations which were divested during the year.

Shareholders' equity was positively affected by net income for the year, but negatively affected by dividends to shareholders and by actuarial revaluations of the pension liability.
Net debt amounted to SEK 3,929 million (4,425). The net debt/ EBITDA ratio amounted to 1.31 as of December 31, 2016 (1.60).

Acquisitions and divestments January – December 2016
In July 2016 Loomis announced that it had entered into an agreement to divest the general cargo operations to Rhenus Alpina AG. Loomis took over these operations in connection with the acquisition of VIA MAT in 2014. The divested operations, which were not part of Loomis' core business, offered cross-border cargo services by air, sea, road and rail. The operations were transferred on July 1, 2016. Revenue from the divested operations amounted to CHF 57 million (equivalent to SEK 499 million) and operating income (EBITA) was CHF 1 million (equivalent to SEK 9 million) for the 2015 financial year. The general cargo operations were reported under Segment International. A capital gain before tax of SEK 81 million was recognized as an item affecting comparability in the third quarter of 2016.
In August 2016, it was announced that Loomis' Danish subsidiary had entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Bankernes Kontantservice A/S (BKS). BKS had its head office in Copenhagen, Denmark. The enterprise value at the time of the acquisition amounted to around DKK 250 million, equivalent to around SEK 316 million. BKS had annual revenue in 2015 of around DKK 340 million (excluding a non-recurring security fee paid by the former owners of BKS). Annual revenue for Loomis Denmark amounted to around DKK 92 million in 2015. The acquisition enabled Loomis in Denmark to expand its customer portfolio and to provide services to banks, retailers and other
customers. The acquired operations are reported in Segment Europe and were consolidated in Loomis' accounts as of the date the transaction was completed, August 22, 2016. As a result of integration costs the acquisition has had a marginally negative impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2016.
Events after the end of the reporting period
On January 27, 2017, it was announced that Loomis AB had entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Cobelguard CIT NV. Cobelguard conducts domestic cash handling services and is based in Ghent, Belgium. The enterprise value, i.e. purchase price plus acquired net debt, is approximately EUR 12 million, corresponding to approximately SEK 114 million. There is also an agreed possible future earn-out of maximum EUR 5 million based on the future financial performance.
Cobelguard has approximately 170 employees and annual revenue in 2016 was approximately EUR 12 million.
The business will be reported in segment Europe and consolidated into Loomis as of closing date for the transaction, January, 30. The purchase price was paid on closing. Due to acquisition related costs and integration costs the acquisition is expected to have a marginal negative impact on earnings per share of Loomis in 2017.
A preliminary acquisition analysis will be reported in the interim report for the first quarter of 2017.
Significant events and number of full-time employees
Significant events during the period
The Annual General Meeting on May 2, 2016 voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an Incentive Scheme (Incentive Scheme 2016). Similar to past incentive schemes, the proposed Incentive Scheme 2016 involves two thirds of the variable remuneration being paid out in cash the year after it is earned. The remaining one third will be allotted to participants in the form of Class B shares at the beginning of 2018. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2018, other than in cases where the employee has left his/her position due to retirement, death or a long-term illness, in which case the individual will retain the right to receive bonus shares. The principles for performance measurement and other general principles that already apply to existing Incentive Schemes will still apply. Loomis AB will not issue any new shares or similar instruments in connection with this Incentive Scheme. To enable Loomis to allot these shares, the AGM voted in favor of Loomis AB entering into a share swap agreement with a third party under which the third party will acquire the Loomis shares in its own name and transfer them to the Incentive Scheme participants. The Incentive Scheme will enable around 350 key individuals within the Loomis Group to become shareholders in Loomis AB over time. This will increase employee commitment to Loomis' development for the benefit of all shareholders.
On May 4, 2016, Patrik Andersson assumed the position as President and CEO of Loomis.
Similar to several other companies in Spain, Loomis' Spanish subsidiary has been under investigation by the Spanish competition authority (CNMC). In November 2016 the authority informed Loomis Spain of its decision. The decision is to impose a fine of EUR 7 million on Loomis Spain for alleged market sharing. Loomis maintains that it has acted in compliance with the laws in effect and, accordingly, disagrees with the content of the decision and the fine imposed. Loomis has appealed the decision in the Spanish courts. A possible negative outcome is not expected to have a negative impact on either the Group's income or financial position.
As previously communicated by Melker Schörling AB, Ulrik Svensson left his position as CEO of Melker Schörling AB at the end of 2016/beginning of 2017. In December he therefore also left his position as a member of the Board of Loomis AB.
Number of full-time employees
The average number of full-time employees in 2016 was around 22,000 (around 21,700 for the full year 2015). Acquisitions executed as well as appointments made as a result of contracts secured have increased the number of employees, while disposals have decreased the number of employees. The ongoing efficiency improvement programs have primarily reduced the number of overtime hours and temporary employees, but have also reduced the number of regular employees.
Risks and uncertainties
Operational risks
Operational risks are risks associated with the day-to-day operations and the services offered by the Company to its customers. These risks could result in negative consequences when the services performed do not meet the established requirements and result in loss of or damage to property or personal injury.
Loomis' strategy for operational risk management is based on two fundamental principles:
• No loss of life
• Balance between profitability and risk of theft and robbery
Although the risk of robbery is unavoidable in cash handling, Loomis continually strives to minimize this risk. The most vulnerable situations are at the roadside, in the vehicles and during cash processing.
Loomis' operations are insured so that the maximum cost of each theft or robbery incident is limited to the deductible amount.
The Parent Company, Loomis AB, is deemed not to have any significant operational risks as it does not engage in operations other than the conventional control of subsidiaries and management of certain Group matters.
The major risks deemed to apply to the Parent Company relate to fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly as regards USD and EUR, increased interest rates and the risk of possible impairment losses on investments.
Financial risk
In its operations, Loomis is exposed to risk associated with financial instruments such as liquid funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans. The risks associated with these instruments are primarily:
- Interest rate risk associated with liquid funds and loans
- Exchange rate risks associated with transactions and translation of shareholder's equity
- Financing risk relating to the Company's capital requirements
- Liquidity risk associated with short-term solvency
- Credit risk attributable to financial and commercial activities
- Capital risk attributable to the capital structure
- Price risk associated with changes in raw material prices (primarily fuel)
Factors of uncertainty
The economic trend in 2016 had a negative impact on certain geographical areas and the risk of revenue and income being affected in 2017 cannot be ruled out. Changes in general economic conditions can have various effects on the cash handling services market. These include the ratio of cash purchases to credit card purchases, changes in consumption levels, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses, as well as the staff turnover rate.
Seasonal variations
Loomis' earnings fluctuate across the seasons and this should be taken into consideration when making assessments on the basis of interim financial information. The main reason for these seasonal variations is that the need for cash handling services increases during the summer vacation period, July and August, and during the holiday season at the end of the year, i.e. in November and December.

1) Comparative figures have been restated due to an effect of a changed accounting principle, RFR 2 IAS 21. The effect of this on net income for the full year 2015 is SEK – 198 million. Total shareholders' equity was not affected by the changed accounting principle as it only involved a reclassification within non-restricted equity. For further information, please refer to the description of accounting principles on page 15.
2) The number of Class B treasury shares was 53,797.
The Parent Company does not engage in any operating activities. It is only involved in Group management and support functions. The average number of full-time employees at the head office in 2016 was 19 (22).
The Parent Company's revenue mainly consists of license fees and other revenue from subsidiaries. The decrease in dividends from subsidiaries is the main reason for the change in income after financial items.
The Parent Company's fixed assets consist mainly of shares in subsidiaries and loan receivables from subsidiaries. The liabilities are mainly external liabilities and liabilities to subsidiaries.
Other
For other general critical estimates and assessments, not described in this full year report, as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 61 and 87 of the 2015 Annual Report.
Accounting principles
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 (formerly IFRIC).
This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report is on pages 1–32, and pages 1–16 are thus an integrated part if this financial report. The most important accounting principles according to IFRS, which are the accounting standards used in the preparation of this interim report, are described in Note 2 on pages 54–60 of the 2015 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. The Swedish Financial Reporting Board has amended the standard RFR 2 Accounting for Legal
Entities. The amendment is related to IAS 21 and states that exchange rate differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Parent Company's net investment in a foreign subsidiary should be accounted for in the Parent Company's statement of income. Before the amendment went into effect, RFR 2 stated that these exchange rate differences should be accounted for in other comprehensive income, which was not in line with IAS 21, paragraph 32. The amendment applies to financial years beginning on January 1, 2016 or later. The amendment affects financial income and expenses in the Parent Company's statement of income. It also affects the translation reserve in the Parent Company's shareholders' equity, as exchange rate differences no longer will be accounted for on this line. The comparative year, 2015, has been restated in the Parent Company's financial statements to reflect this amendment. The amendment has no effect on the Group's financial statements where these exchange rate differences, as previously, are recorded in the translation reserve in shareholders' equity.
The most important accounting principles applying to the Parent Company can be found in Note 36 on page 92 of the 2015 Annual Report.

Review Report
(Translation of the Swedish original)
Auditor's review report for interim financial information in summary (interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
Introduction
We have reviewed this summarized interim financial information (full year report) for Loomis AB (publ.) as of December 31, 2016 and the twelve-month period ending as of the same date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this full year 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 Report 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 significantly limited in scope compared to the focus and scope of audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. The conclusion expressed based on a review does not have the same level of certainty as a review based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the full year report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
