Strong end to a record year

Loomis delivered another strong quarter which resulted in the full year 2022 achieving the highest revenue and operating result ever. The record revenue has been supported by continued strong organic growth across all segments. The Group's organic growth increased to 11.8 percent (10.5) in the quarter and 14.4 percent (5.6) for the full year.
The operating margin (EBITA%) amounted to 11.2 percent (11.2) in the quarter and 10.8 percent (9.9) for the full year. The margin was impacted positively by increased volumes but negatively by challenges in the labor market as well as the inflationary pressure on the cost base.
Solid revenues across segments
Segment USA continued to grow at a strong rate during the quarter, with an organic growth of 14.3 percent (13.2). Revenues within all offerings increased with high growth for SafePoint in particular. The operating margin amounted to 15.0 percent (14.2).
Segment Europe and Latin America delivered a quarter with high organic growth. The higher activity in shops and restaurants compared to the previous year has been positive for Loomis' business and the foreign exchange business continued to grow more than 100 percent in the quarter. The margin was, however, impacted by the inflationary pressure and the increased cost level, which has not yet been fully passed on to customers.
We achieved an organic growth of 9.7 percent (8.3) and an operating margin of 10.3 percent (11.9).
It is positive to see that the Loomis Pay transaction volumes increased in the quarter compared to the previous year, as we have seen in prior quarters. The product offer was launched in Spain towards the end of the quarter as planned, and customer interactions confirm the potential of the solution on the Spanish market.
Continued success for SafePoint
Our SafePoint solutions, which automate the back office and cash management of our retail customers, has been a great success in the US over recent years and the business line achieved yet another quarter with over 20 percent organic growth. We believe that our offer continues to take market share. I am pleased to share that we are now at the run-rate of SafePoint installations that we projected five years ago.
At Loomis we continuously adapt our solutions to the changing market conditions and innovate to better solve our customers' challenges. Within our automated solutions, we do not only provide back office solutions with SafePoints and recylers, we also offer front office solutions. By simplifying our customers' processes, we allow them to focus on their own customer and by doing so we become an important partner.
Decreasing our carbon footprint
During the year we have taken measures to minimize the impact that our business has on the environment, and I am pleased to share that while our sales have surpassed the levels of 2019, we have successfully decreased our carbon emissions from transportation and energy compared to our 2019 baseline. Our Annual and Sustainability report for 2022 will include an update on the progress of our sustainability targets and additional datapoints. While we are proud of this result, we know there is more to be done. We will continue to take actions to decrease our carbon footprint while continuing to grow our business.
+12% Organic growth Q4
+46% EPS growth Q4
Looking forward to 2023
Loomis plays an important role in society providing a critical infrastructure. Equal access to payments is an increasingly important issue globally and we see more discussions around the world regarding the importance of granting accessibility to all types of payments, including the ability to pay with cash. By running our business and combining our core, adjacent and digital solutions, we ensure that the flows of payments in society are both efficient and safe, but also inclusive and open to all. I am proud of the role that we play at the centre of the payment ecosystem.
We have a strong financial position and are well positioned to capitalize on the consolidation, outsourcing and innovation in our industry. Although there are macro economic and geopolitical uncertainties, we have a history of navigating such situations well, and I am confident that we will be successful going forward.
I would like to thank our customers, employees, and suppliers and other partners for our collaboration during the year. I look forward to what we will achieve together in 2023.

Revenue and income – Europe and Latin America
Quarter 4 2022
Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,207 million (2,766). Real growth, was 9.7 percent (16.8). Organic growth was 9.7 percent (8.3). Overall, there were no restrictions in Europe and Latin America unlike the fourth quarter 2021 and societies have opened after the pandemic, leading to strong growth in cash volumes including a significant growth for the foreign exchange business. However, continued restrictions in Asia during the beginning of the quarter had a slight impact on the international business in the region as well as less tourism.
Recurring revenue increased in the quarter. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 24 percent (26) of the segment's total revenue, of which revenue from SafePoint amounted to 6 percent (7) of the revenue. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was 18 percent (19).
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 330 million (330) and the operating margin was 10.3 percent (11.9). The impact of inflation pressure and the increased cost level has not yet been fully compensated.
Full year 2022
Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 12,255 million (10,178). Real growth, which was 16.3 percent (7.5), was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of the cash handling operations of Swiss Post in May 2021. Organic growth was 14.3 percent (–0.5). The start of the year was challenging, with covid-19 impacting many of Loomis markets. The situation improved gradually and with the opening of societies and the return of consumers to shops and restaurants, volumes returned and came back to pre-pandemic levels. However, imposed restrictions in Asia had a slight impact on the international business as well as less Asian tourism during the year.
Recurring revenue increased for the full year. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 25 percent (26) of the segment's total revenue, of which revenue from SafePoint amounted to 7 percent (7) of the segment's total revenue. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was 18 percent (19).
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,317 million (846) and the operating margin was 10,7 percent (8.3). Increased revenue in combination with the steps that Loomis took early on to compensate for the temporarily lower volumes after the pandemic broke out provided clear results. The impact of inflation and issues with supply chain have not yet been fully compensated. The operations acquired in Switzerland in 2021 are being integrated according to plan and providing synergies.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 534 million (367) and the operating margin was 15.0 percent (14.2). The margin was positively affected by the increased volumes, and the margin increased both compared to the previous year and to the previous quarter. In order to maintain both a high growth rate and a high level of service, cost for overtime have continued to be high during the quarter.
Cost for fuel amounted to 4 percent (3) of revenue.
Full year 2022
Revenue amounted to SEK 13,211 million (9,643). Real growth, which was 15.9 percent (12.6), was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of ATM Response at the end of 2021. Organic growth amounted to 15.0 percent (12.3). Revenue from all offerings grew and SafePoint in particular saw increased volumes.
Recurring revenue increased for the full year. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 43 percent (43) of the segment's total revenue, och which revenue from SafePoint accounted 19 percent (18) of the segment's revenue, and ATMs accounted for around 24 percent (25).
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,822 million (1,452) and the operating margin was 13.8 percent (15.1). The lower operating margin is primarily due to the current challenges in the labor market and issues with the supply chain. In order to maintain both a high growth rate and a high level of service, overtime cost have temporarily been high. The turnover of employees has been high during 2022. The situation gradually improved throughout the year where the US operations have hired and are training new employees.
Cost for fuel amounted to 4 percent (3) of revenue.

Sustainability
Sustainability is an integrated part of Loomis' business. The sustainability agenda rests on three focus areas: 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.
While the focus areas and their respective global key initiatives and activities

have been developed on a group-level, the implementation is often local within Loomis' decentralized organization. The conditions for each of Loomis' markets are different and there is not one solution that is optimal for all. It is up to each country management team to find the best solutions and actions within each area without compromising the safety of employees and the quality of operations.
Loomis Norway is an example of a country that has succeeded in finding this balance. 60% of the new vehicles added to the fleet in 2022 were electric vehicles. When the vehicles ordered for 2023 are on the road, 25% of the vehicle fleet in Norway will be fully electric.
During the quarter, Loomis continued to invest in lighter vehicles with higher security features in the US. In January, 2023 Loomis signed an agreement for the delivery of 150 electric armored vehicles for the US market. These vehicles will be delivered and entered into operations gradually from the second half of 2023.
Carbon emissions, tCO2e Scope1

Through implemented activities throughout the organization, from the installation of solar panels in branches to switching to lighter and safer vehicles, Loomis has taken steps closer to reaching the targets for the end of the strategic period in 2024. The status of these targets at the end of the year and more datapoints will be presented in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2022.
Cash flow and investments
Full year 2022
Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 2,316 million (1,620), equivalent to 87 percent (85) of operating income (EBITA).
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –1,365 million (–1,156), which can be compared with depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 1,359 million (1,240). Investments made during the period were mainly in buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment. Investments in relation to depreciation (including IFRS 16) for the period amounted to 0.6 (0.6).
Capital employed and financial position
Capital employed
The total capital employed as of December 31, 2022 amounted to SEK 19,948 million (17,070 as of December 31, 2021), which is equivalent to approximately 79 percent (87) of revenue. Return on capital employed amounted to 13.7 percent (11.5).

Shareholders' equity increased during the year by SEK 2,402 million, amounting to SEK 12,465 million as of December 31, 2022 (10,063 as of December 31, 2021). The increase is largely explained by translation differences of SEK 2,004 million, net profit for the period of SEK 1,602 million and actuarial gains of SEK 189 million less dividend of SEK 628 million and share repurchase of SEK 600 million. The return on shareholders' equity was 12.9 percent (11.0) and the equity ratio was 39.2 percent (37.0).
Net debt amounted to SEK 7,484 million as of December 31, 2022 (7,007 as of December 31, 2021) and net debt/EBITDA amounted to 1.5 (1.8 as of December 31, 2021).

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 2021 Annual Report.
New or changed standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2022 are not expected to have any material effect on the Group's financial statements.
As of April 1, 2022 Loomis has implemented IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, for the operations in Turkey. The financial statements for the subsidiary in Turkey have therefore been adjusted for inflation to reflect the changes in purchasing power. The inflation adjustments have been made with the Turkish consumer price index with a base period of 2003=100. The consumer price index was 1,128.5 as of December 31, 2022 and 686.9 as of December 31, 2021. Since the Loomis Group's reporting currency is SEK and thus not a currency in a hyperinflationary economy, the comparative figures have not been adjusted.
In connection with the preparation of the interim report for the 'first quarter, the presentation format for the consolidated income statement has been changed as an adjustment for expected future amendments to IAS 1. The following amendments have been made: i) The partial summary with EBITDA has been removed but can, as previously, be found in the section Alternative performance measures ii) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and Acquisition-related costs and revenue are now included in the relevant functional lines (mainly production costs for the amortization). iii) A new line for Other income and expense is introduced where now the acquisition-related expenses are included. The item Other income and expense may also include capital gains / losses on the sale of fixed assets, or the like, that are not related to the period's regular sales operations. iv) The format has been changed so that Other comprehensive income is now stated directly in the statement of total comprehensive income (which Loomis calls "Income statement") and not in a separate statement as previously. The effect of the recalculation on gross income is stated in a note in connection with the income statement.
Following the IFRIC agenda decision addressing cloud computing arrangement, the group has reclassified previously capitalized costs for such arrangements to prepaid cost to be expensed over the term of the contract.
Critical estimates and assessments
For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 99–100 and 130 of the 2021 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 Risks
Loomis' operations, which include cash in transit, cash management services, international valuables logistics, FX and the payment platform Loomis Pay, involve Loomis assuming the customer's risks associated with managing, transporting and storing cash, precious metals and valuables. Loomis has established routines and processes to identify, take action to mitigate and monitor risks. Risks are assessed based on two criteria: the likelihood that an event will occur and the severity of the consequences for the business if the event should occur. There are risks both in terms of circumstances pertaining to Loomis itself and the industry as a whole, as well as risks that are more general in nature. Certain risks are outside of Loomis' control.
Below is a description of some of the most significant risks and uncertainties that may have a negative impact on Loomis' operations, financial position and results, and that should therefore be taken into account when making assessments based on full-year or interim information. The risks described below are not in any particular order of significance.
Operational risks: Operational risks are risks associated with the day-to-day operations and the services offered by the Company to its customers. Some of the most significant risks Loomis has identified are:
- IT-related risks, such as operational disruptions and extended stoppages of systems linked to operating activities, as well as risks linked to installation of new systems.
- Risk of worsened customer behavioral patterns relating to purchases and payments.
- Customer-related risks, such as the risk of loss of certain customers as well as significant changes in the banking sector.
- Process risk: the risk that processes or routines fail, are no longer relevant or are not followed.
- Competition risk, such as Loomis' ability to develop competitive offerings.
- Employee risk, such as unhappiness and low motivation
- increasing the risk for underperformance and human error.
- Risk of robbery and other criminal activity.
- Risk of internal theft and/or failing cash reconciliation routines at cash centers.
- Risk associated with the implementation of acquisitions, such as difficulties integrating new operations and employees, as well as the anticipated benefits of a certain acquisition not being realized or being only partially realized.
Financial risks: In its operations, Loomis is exposed to risk associated with financial instruments such as liquid funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans. The risks relating to these instruments are mainly:
• Interest rate risk associated with liquid funds and loans.
- Exchange rate risk associated with transactions and translation of shareholder's equity.
- Credit risk pertaining to financial and commercial activities.
- Financing risk relating to the company's financing needs.
- Liquidity risk associated with short-term solvency.
- Capital risk pertaining to the capital structure.
• Price risk regarding changes in raw material prices (mainly fuel). The financial risks are described in more detail in Note 22 in the 2021 Annual Report.
Legal risks: Through its operations Loomis is exposed to legal risks such as:
- Risk of disputes and legal action.
- Risk associated with the application of existing laws, other regulations and changes in legislation.
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 2022 the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the 2021 Annual report 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. The Loomis Pay payment platform was introduced in autumn 2020 and will be rolled out country by country, but the Pay segment is monitored centrally by a segment 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 on page 24 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 on page 12 of 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, % | 11.2 | 11.2 | 10.8 | 9.9 |
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.

Review Report
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Loomis AB (publ) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2022. 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.
Scope of 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.
Conclusion
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.
