KEY RATIOS

Explanation and reconciliation of alternative performance measures can be found on pages 21–22 of this report and under Definitions on page 23.

Continued strong demand

For the first quarter ever, Loomis reported revenues above SEK 7 billion, with organic growth for all segments. The operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 752 million (620), corresponding to a margin of 10.6 percent (10.0). The margin was positively impacted by increased volumes, higher efficiencies and price adjustments but was offset by continued inflationary pressure and recruitment-related costs.

Organic growth across segments

Segment Europe and Latin America delivered a quarter with high revenues and achieved a strong organic growth of 8.3 percent. The operating profit increased to SEK 353 million (309), corresponding to a margin of 10.4 percent (10.3). We have been aiming to compensate the higher cost base we have experienced over the latest year through price increases and efficiencies and while we are seeing the effect come through, we are still experiencing the time lag that comes from continued inflation.

Segment USA continued to grow at a strong rate, with an organic growth of 6.6 percent for the quarter. Revenues reached a record high SEK 3,697 million (3,246) with growth across all business lines. Our automated solutions with Safe-Point continue to take market share in the US and recorded the tenth consecutive quarter in a row with double-digit organic growth. We have continuously increased the work force to support our growth, and the related costs for recruitment and

training impacted the margin for the quarter. The operating profit increased to SEK 515 million (429), corresponding to a margin of 13.9 percent (13.2).

When it comes to Loomis Pay, we are now seeing that our efforts in the recent quarters are paying off in terms of both increased revenues and transaction volumes. Revenues in the second quarter increased markedly in all three markets, both sequentially and compared to the previous year. Notably transaction volumes increased by 74 percent in the second quarter compared to the previous year and 59 percent compared to the previous quarter, and we recorded SEK 1.1 billion in transaction volumes. I am pleased to share that we have more than doubled the number of live and transacting customers since the beginning of the year.

Exciting journey ahead

We have taken a significant step in expanding our offer of automated solutions by entering into an agreement to acquire Cima S.p.A, an Italian-based developer of automated cash handling devices that recognize, count, process, validate and secure cash notes and coins. Cima brings a proven track record of innovation and R&D within cash automation and perfectly complements Loomis in terms of technological solutions. The combination of Cima's expertise and know-how with our core operations and digital offer secures our ability to innovate and continue to deliver customer-oriented solutions at the forefront. Furthermore, we will expand on Cima's geographical footprint and gain access to new markets. I look forward to welcoming the Cima team into the Loomis Group and embarking on this exciting journey of growth and innovation.

Sustainability linked to business needs

In line with our ambitions to be the most sustainable business partner, we are constantly looking for new innovations – both large and small – that we can implement to minimize our environmental impact. One such initiative is the implementation

+7.7% Organic growth Q2

+21% EBITA growth Q2

of solar mats on our vehicles to maintain the health of our vehicle battery systems. I am proud to share that we have been awarded the Environmental Project of the Year Award from the British Security Industry Association for this innovation. It is truly a strength that within our decentralized organization we are finding local initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint that are also interlinked with the business needs.

Ensuring an inclusive society

I strongly believe that everyone should be included in the payment ecosystem – using whichever payment method they wish or are able to use. Access to cash is crucial for many groups in society. At Loomis we provide a vital service by ensuring cash accessibility, therefore contributing to equality and inclusion. In June the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal on the legal tender of euro banknotes and coins, to safeguard the role of Euro cash. This proposal clarifies that cash must be accepted as a means of payment and accessible for citizens and businesses. We of course welcome this initiative and remain dedicated to supporting central banks in ensuring that cash is readily available and that payment flows are functioning in society.

Sustainability

Sustainability is an integrated part of Loomis' business. The sustainability agenda rests on three sustainability dimensions: environment, social, and governance - with the short-term focus foremost on reducing the carbon footprint, work-related injuries and being an inclusive company and responsible business partner.

In line with the ambition to be the most sustainable business partner, Loomis is constantly looking for new innovations to implement – both large and small – that not only minimize the environmental impact, but which are also beneficial to the business.

One such initiative is the use of ultra thin solar mats on our operational vehicles to maintain the health of the vehicle battery systems. This solution has been installed in 30 vehicles so far and is now standard in build for new vehicles in the UK.

In June, Loomis was awarded the Environmental Project of the Year Award from the British Security Industry Association

for this innovation. At a local and global level, Loomis will continue to partner with suppliers to find innovative solutions to lead the transformation of the industry.

As announced in February, Loomis has ordered 150 electric armored vehicles (EVs) for the US market. The first vehicles have been delivered and the EVs are expected to be entered into operations gradually from the third quarter.

Notes

NOTE 1 – 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 (IFRIC). This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The most important accounting principles according to IFRS, which are the accounting standards used in the preparation of this interim report, are described in the 2022 Annual Report.

Translation of foreign subsidiaries

In connection with changing the group reporting system, the practical methodology for translation of foreign subsidiaries' reporting has been changed as follows. Income statements for foreign subsidiaries are converted to the period's average exchange rate, in contrast to previously when the respective month's income statement was converted to the exchange rate on the last day of the month. The change in methodology can have a certain impact on the conversion effect, which will have an impact during the quarter when the change takes place. The balance sheets are translated as before at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

New or changed standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2023 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.

Critical estimates and assessments

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 95 and 123 of the 2022 Annual Report. There have been no other significant changes compared to what is described in the Annual Report.

Parent Company – Loomis AB

The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

NOTE 2 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Risk management and key risks

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 the 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, internal 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 74–78 of Loomis' Annual and Sustainability Report 2022.

Factors of uncertainty

Changes in general economic conditions and market trends have various effects on demand for cash handling services. These include the ratio of cash purchases to credit card purchases, 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 other conditions.

In 2023 the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2022 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.

Seasonal variations

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 and in connection with public holidays.

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT OVERVIEW

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.

Alternative performance measures

Use of alternative performance measures

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):

  • Real growth and Organic growth in sales
  • Operating income (EBITA) and Operating margin (EBITA), %
  • Cash flow from operating activities as % of operating income (EBITA)
  • Net debt and Net debt/EBITDA
  • Equity ratio, %
  • Capital employed and Return on capital employed
  • Return on shareholders' equity

Cash flow from operating activities as % of operating income (EBITA)

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.

Real growth and Organic growth in sales

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.

Exchange rate effects 839 7.1

Operating income (EBIT) before items affecting comparability, Operating income (EBITA) and Operating margin (EBITA), %

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 and Net debt/EBITDA

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 and Return on capital employed, %

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.
