Strong start to the year with record revenues

Loomis reported record revenues with strong growth in all segments, supported by a double-digit organic growth. Higher volumes were the main driver but price increases also contributed to the organic growth. The operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 717 million (516), which is our highest operating profit for a first quarter. The operating margin (EBITA %) increased to 10.5 percent (9.2) and was positively impacted by increased volumes and price adjustments, but negatively by a higher cost base.
Record revenues across segments
Segment USA continued to grow at a strong rate, with an organic growth of 12.5 percent for the first quarter. Revenues reached a record high SEK 3,598 million (2,862) and we continue to increase our market share in USA. Revenues within all offerings increased with strong growth for SafePoint in particular, which reported a quarter with doubledigit organic growth for the ninth quarter in a row.
We have successfully hired more employees to support our growth, and the related costs for recruitment and training impacted the margin for the quarter. The operating profit increased to SEK 500 million (371), corresponding to a margin of 13.9 percent (13.0).
Segment Europe and Latin America also delivered a quarter with record revenues and double-digit organic growth. The operating profit increased to SEK 309 million (242), corresponding to a margin of 9.5 percent (8.7). The operating margin was affected by a higher cost base, where the impact of the annual price increases had not been fully realized in the quarter. The majority of the price negotiations have now been finalized, but we will likely continue to see a timing effect as long as inflation remains at this high level.
Loomis Pay also reported strong growth in the first quarter, with increased revenue in all three markets compared to both the previous year and quarter. Transaction volumes in the first quarter increased by 90 percent compared to the previous year. Loomis Pay is constantly evolving, and we are adding more advanced services to bring added-value to our customers. I am pleased that we now can offer 24-hour settlement also to our Spanish customers. We are strongly committed to further developing the Loomis Pay offer to meet our customers' needs even better.
Reducing our emissions
We have made a commitment to reduce the carbon emissions from our business while ensuring the safety of our employees and customers. The order for an additional 150 electric armored vehicles for the US market is an important step in achieving this. By significantly increasing the number of EVs in the US operations, we are on our way to both reducing our own emissions while maintaining our high security standards. The ordered vehicles will be delivered and entered into operations gradually from the second half of 2023.
Loomis stands strong
Although there are signs that inflation, energy prices and supply chains are stabilizing, the prevailent macroeconomic uncertainties are affecting society around us. We are closely monitoring how the
+12% Organic growth Q1
+39% EBITA growth Q1
changing environment may impact both our business and our customers and will adapt the operations as needed. We have had challenges in certain markets, including Germany where we are currently lossmaking. We have therefore initiated a restructuring plan within segment Europe and Latin America, which mainly impacts the German operations.
Equal access to cash and payments is an increasingly important issue globally and we are witnessing more discussions around the world on the importance of access to cash. We have a fundamental role in supporting central banks to ensure that cash is available and payment flows are functioning in society and, through our business, ensuring inclusion across communities.
Loomis delivered a strong first quarter despite the current challenges and I would like to thank our employees for their commitment and our customers for their trust in us. We have previously shown the strength of our business model even in times of macroeconomic uncertainty and I am confident that Loomis will continue to deliver going forward.

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.
Integrity Line – every voice is heard Loomis has a zero tolerance for bribery and corruption. The anonymous whistle blower hotline, Loomis Integrity Line, has since 2010 been an important tool to promote and ensure compliance with Loomis' Code of Conduct. By using the line, employees can anonymously alert management on suspected unethical behavior at the workplace. Encouraging a culture where everyone can speak up and every voice is heard is key and therefore Loomis has continued to develop the Integrity Line. An updated version was introduced in the first quarter.
Reducing transport emissions
Loomis has continued to invest in lighter vehicles with high security features. As announced in February, Loomis has ordered 150 electric armored vehicles for the US market. These emission-free vehicles will be delivered and entered into operations gradually from the second half of 2023. In addition, Loomis has made a commitment to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to be completely emission-free in New York City by the end of 2025.
These initiatives will ensure that Loomis can continue to decrease the emissions from transport going forward, even as the business grows.

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.
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
The covid-19 pandemic that broke out in early 2020 had a negative effect on the world economy during 2020 and 2021. The postpandemic economic recovery during 2022 coupled with geopolitical uncertainties have led to higher inflation and interest rates in many markets where Loomis operates. The exact impact that the changing macroeconomic situation will have is unforeseeable, but it cannot be ruled out that it may have a negative effect on Loomis' earnings and financial position.
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, acquisitionrelated 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.

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.

| EBITA/Total revenue, % | 10.5 | 9.2 | 10.8 |
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.

Equity ratio, %
The equity ratio is a measure that show the ratio of equity financing in relation to the company's total assets. The measure is used as an indication of financial strength and resilience to losses.

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.
