Solid organic growth and strong cash flow

12.9% Operating margin (EBITA) Q3

Loomis delivered solid financial results for the third quarter. Revenue exceeded SEK 7.6 billion with growth across all business lines when adjusting for changes in exchange rates, except for the International business line where we are still experiencing cyclical headwinds. We continue to see double-digit organic growth for Automated Solutions in both regions, where the performance of CIMA also has a positive contribution on the results.

The operating income (EBITA) of SEK 981 million is our highest ever and we increased our operating margin to 12.9 percent (10.4). The cash flow from operating activities surpassed SEK 1.3 billion for the quarter, representing a strong 134 percent cash conversion rate relative to operating income (EBITA).

We had a solid third quarter overall, nevertheless, it will be challenging to reach the operating margin (EBITA %) target of 12-14 percent for the year.

US continues to deliver

Segment USA reported revenues above SEK 3.8 billion with stable volume growth across most business lines. Our commitment to both sales growth and operational efficiency allows us to capture a larger market share of the thriving US market and positions us for continued success. This translated to a record high operating income (EBITA) with a significant improvement on the operating margin, which increased to 16.1 percent (14.2).

Increased margin in Europe and Latin America

The European and Latin American segment had a strong performance in the third quarter. Both the ATM and Automated Solutions business lines had strong growth while reported revenues in our core business lines declined with changes in exchange rates. Revenues reached their highest level ever and the operating margin increased to 12.4 percent (10.8).

We continue with our restructuring program and operational efficiency initiatives to improve margins within the region, but there is still more to be done. As we mentioned last quarter, we are actively reviewing our operations throughout the region to make sure we have the optimal footprint, capacity, and competencies to support our growth. Restructuring charges were reported within the segment throughout the quarter as part of this process.

Transaction volumes above SEK 2 billion for Loomis Pay

Loomis Pay had a solid performance in the quarter with an organic growth of 71 percent compared to the previous year. The transaction volumes increased 50 percent and surpassed SEK 2 billion in the quarter. We continue to increase the proportion of recurring revenues within Loomis Pay. Subscription fees amounted to approximately 30 percent of the revenues in the third quarter.

Inaugural EUR 300 million Sustainability-Linked Bonds

In July, we committed to the Science Based Targets initiative to set carbon reduction targets in line with climate science and we updated our Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework in accordance with this methodology. I am proud that a second party opinion provider has deemed our targets to be both very strong and highly ambitious. In September, we issued an inaugural EUR 300 million bond in a transaction that received strong support and garnered significant interest. By continuing to integrate carbon emissions reduction targets into our financing, we further strengthen our sustainability commitments.

Upcoming strategic period 2025–2027

As we announced during the quarter, we are strengthening our management team ahead of the upcoming strategic period 2025– 2027. Alejandro Corominas Menéndez has been appointed President and CEO of Loomis Europe and Latin America as of January 1, 2025. At the same time, Georges Lopez will take on the newly implemented role of Group COO where he will drive operational excellence across the organization.

I look forward to sharing details of our upcoming strategic period at our Capital Markets Day on November 13th.

Comments on quarter 3 2024

Segment Europe and Latin America reached record revenues of SEK 3,757 million (3,588) with an organic growth of 6.2 percent. Implemented price increases as well as growth in emerging markets contributed to the organic growth. The acquisition of CIMA had a positive impact on revenues, while changes in exchange rates had a negative impact on the total growth.

Adjusted for exchange rate effects, all business lines except for International grew compared to the previous year. The International business line continues to experience cyclical headwinds.

The operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 468 million (387), corresponding to a margin of 12.4 percent (10.8). The cyclical headwinds in the International business line, the continued operational challenges in our FX business, the macroeconomic situation in Argentina, as well as the performance in markets that are under review had a negative impact on the margin.

The segment continues to execute on the communicated restructuring plan across various parts of the European and Latin American markets. Costs related to the restructuring of the segment amounted to SEK –59 million (–2).

Sustainability

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.

Loomis takes long-term responsibility for not only for its business but also the impact of its operations on society, people, and the environment.

Sustainable governance and compliance

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 not used as a tool for financial crime.

Loomis works continually on improving its ability to detect and thus prevent financial crimes. Procedures are continually updated within this important area to align with regulatory requirements and high internal standards. An important aspect of preventive work is the employees remaining watchful and have the appropriate knowledge and tools. A mandatory compliance training for all employees will be rolled out during the fourth quarter. The purpose of the new training, which will complement the annual Code of Conduct training, is to increase knowledge and awareness on compliance issues.

Health and safety a high priority

Keeping our employees safe and minimizing the risk of injuries is one of our 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 third quarter compared to the previous year. The LTIFR for the first nine months of 2024 is 24 percent lower than the corresponding period in 2021, which is the base year for our reduction target of 15 percent.

Updated Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework

Loomis continues to demonstrate its dedication to carbon emissions reduction with the update to our Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework in July 2024 and corresponding Sustainability-Linked Bond Issuance in September 2024. Our updated framework from now has two additional targets: a 34 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2027, and a 48 percent reduction by 2030, both using the 2019 baseline for reference. On a rolling twelve months basis ending Sep. 30, 2024, Loomis has reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 20 percent compared to 2019.

The updated framework has a Second-Party Opinion from Sustainalytics, where we received the highest remarks possible; our KPI strength was rated "very strong" and our ambition level of our Sustainability Performance Target was rated as "highly ambitious."

During the quarter, Loomis issued a EUR 300 million bond that was linked to the 2027 carbon reduction target.

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 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, 2024 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.

Fair value hedge

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.

Critical estimates and assessments

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.

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 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.

Hedge accounting

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:

  • Minimize expected interest expense subject to adverse market interest rate fluctuations in a falling interest rate environment and thereby reduce net interest rate volatility
  • Protect any financial conditions (for example interest coverage ratio) and internal targets while minimizing the cost of such protection.

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.

Factors of uncertainty

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.

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.

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.

2,494 2,612 2,574

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 year.

Update regarding claim in Turkey

In 2022, Loomis received a claim relating to the acquisition of Loomis' Turkish subsidiary, that was completed in 2015. Loomis believed it had acted in compliance with the share purchase agreement and was disputing the claim. Loomis did not report any provision in the balance sheet for this case as the criteria for provisions, under IAS 37, were not considered to be met. In the third quarter, the arbitration tribunal issued its arbitration award. The tribunal found that the sellers under the share purchase agreement mentioned above are now entitled to an immaterial additional earn-out payment of approx. SEK 1.4 million. Loomis had made the assessment that the claim from the sellers should be completely rejected or alternatively lead to an, for Loomis, immaterial amount. Hence this contingent liability is now closed.

Update regarding lawsuit with Danish court

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 was of the opinion that it has 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 have 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, the request is still pending. Besides this, 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 appeals process. However, this has been proven not possible due to, among other things, that the competitor so far has not provided the company with any substantial clarification in support of the size and grounds for its claims. Due to this, Loomis does not consider that the requirements for a provision according to IAS 37 have been met.

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 –663 –3.1

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.

Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Loomis AB (publ) for the period January 1 – September 30, 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.

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.
