Record revenue, improved operating margin and strong cash flow

11.6% Operating margin (EBITA) Q2

Loomis delivered solid financial results for the second quarter. Revenue exceeded SEK 7.6 billion, which is a new record for us. This positive performance was driven by organic growth across most business lines, except for international where we are still experiencing cyclical headwinds. Notably, our automated solutions experienced double-digit organic growth in both regions. The acquisition of CIMA also contributed positively to the results.

The operating income (EBITA) of SEK 887 million is our highest ever and we increased our operating margin to 11.6 percent (10.6). Operating cash flow surpassed SEK 1.1 billion for the quarter, representing a strong 126 percent conversion rate relative to operating income (EBITA).

US continues to deliver

Segment USA's results exceeded our expectations, with an organic growth of 5.9% which was well-distributed across most of our business lines. Our US business achieved its strongest quarterly financial performance to date for both revenue and operating income (EBITA). The foundation of these results is our strategy of sales focus and cost structure optimization. This translated not only into a substantial revenue increase, but also significant improvement on the operating margin, which increased to 15.2 percent (13.9). 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.

Margin expansion in Europe and Latin America

The second quarter saw a robust performance from our Europe and Latin America segment. Revenues reached their highest level ever, accompanied by a significant improvement in operating margin. Both the ATM and Automated Solutions business lines demonstrated continued strength with high organic growth. CIMA's contributions remain valuable to our overall business success.

Our ongoing efforts to improve margins within the region are starting to yield positive results. This demonstrates how our decentralized business model is flexible and enables us to respond quickly to changes in the local market. We are actively examining our operations throughout the region to make sure we are best positioned for future growth. The goal of this analysis is to pinpoint the optimal footprint, capacity, and competencies required for success. Restructuring charges were reported within the segment throughout the quarter as part of this process.

Growing our digital business through partnerships

Loomis Pay had a solid performance in the quarter with notable growth both compared to the previous year and the previous quarter. The transaction volumes grew 70 percent in the second quarter compared to the previous year and reached SEK 1,820 million.

We are firmly committed to expanding Loomis Pay within existing markets and anticipate the scaling of the business through partnerships. To further strengthen our presence in Norway, we recently secured a new partnership agreement. This partnership allows us to offer our payment gateway, which handles both digital and cash payments, through a leading Norwegian point-of-sale (POS) system.

Employee safety: our top priority

At Loomis, we consistently strive to be an industry leader both within our business offering and in terms of being a safe and sustainable workplace. Keeping our employees safe and minimizing the risk of injuries is one of our most important responsibilities. I am therefore pleased to see that we have succeeded in further reducing the lost time injury frequency rate during the quarter, with a significant reduction in the number of injuries both compared to the first quarter and the previous year. We will continue to strengthen our proactive measures for our employees' wellbeing.

Commitment to further reduce our carbon emissions

I am proud to see that we continue to find ways to reduce our carbon emissions while growing our business. In June, we committed to the Science Based targets initiative (SBTi) to set science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. I look forward to sharing these targets with you once they have been submitted and validated by the SBTi.

All in all, we had a solid performance in the second quarter, and I would like to extend a thank you to all employees for their commitment.

Q2 Highlights

  • Highest revenue ever and strong operating income (EBITA)
  • Solid increase in operating margin (EBITA) % both compared to the previous year and sequentially
  • Continued to adapt the business with further restructuring plans

Comments on quarter 2 2024

Segment Europe and Latin America reached record revenues of SEK 3,671 million (3,396) with an organic growth of 7.7 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 currency rates had a negative impact.

Both the ATM and Automated Solutions business lines showed strong organic growth. The International business line continued to have a cyclical decline while the CIT, CMS and FX business lines remained relatively flat year over year.

The operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 402 million (353), corresponding to a margin of 11.0 percent (10.4).

To optimize the performance in some of the European and Latin American markets, further restructuring has been introduced across various parts of the segment. These plans include several types of actions, and includes consolidating branches and facilities. Costs related to the restructuring of the segment amounted to SEK –57 million (–13) in the quarter.

Comments on six months 2024

Segment Europe and Latin America reached revenues of SEK 7,142 million (6,646) with an organic growth of 7.1 percent. Implemented price increases as well as growth in emerging markets had a positive impact on revenues. Most business lines contributed to the growth, however the International business line continued to have a cyclical decline.

The operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 706 million (662), corresponding to a margin of 9.9 percent (10.0). The cyclical downturn of the international and gold trading businesses together with higher stock financing costs in the current interest rate environment have had a negative impact on the margins in the first six months of the year.

Costs related to the restructuring of the segment amounted to SEK –73 million (–13) in the period.

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 is part of the infrastructure that is critical for society and helps to promote financial inclusion. This in turn requires Loomis to take 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 second half of the year. 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 significantly reduced the number of injuries and the lost time injury frequency rate in the second quarter, both compared to the previous year and the previous quarter.

Commitment to set scienced-based targets

Loomis continues to decrease its carbon emissions from fuel consumption and energy usage in absolute terms while growing the business.

While Loomis emissions reduction metrics are trending above the set targets for the strategic period ending this year, Loomis continues to gradually raise the ambitions. Loomis has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to set near-term sciencebased emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Loomis has a two-year period to submit the targets and have them validated by the SBTi. The specific targets will be announced once they have been validated.

In addition, the work is ongoing to prepare the organization for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and to set the initiatives and targets for the next strategic period.

Cash flow and investments

January – June 2024

Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 1,113 million (310) in the second quarter and was partially impacted by reversal of the temporary build-up of foreign currency stock over the quarter end that occurred in Q1. The cash flow was equivalent to 126 percent (41) of operating income (EBITA). Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 1,515 million (1.029) in the first six months. The cash flow was equivalent to 92 percent (70) of operating income (EBITA).

Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –788 million (–914), which can be compared with depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 822 million (751). Investments made during the period were mainly in buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment and corresponds to 5.3 percent (6.6) of revenues.

Other events

Significant events during the period, April - June 2024

In April, Loomis AB obtained an inaugural investment grade credit rating of BBB with a stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The rating reflects Loomis' market leading position, organic growth, solid margins, and strong cash flow conversion. Loomis is fully committed to maintaining an investment grade credit profile, with the rating supporting the Company's financing strategy going forwards.

In accordance with the resolution by the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2024, Loomis AB has cancelled 4,279,829 repurchased treasury shares. The share capital of SEK 376,399,145 remains unchanged since, simultaneous with the resolution to reduce the share capital by means of withdrawal of repurchased treasury shares, it was resolved to increase the share capital by a transfer from non-restricted shareholders' equity to the share capital (bonus issue). Thereby the share capital was restored to its balance prior to the reduction, without the issuing of any new shares. The total number of shares in the Loomis AB amounts to 71,000,000 shares with the equivalent number of votes.

Loomis AB has repurchased 758,908 shares during the second quarter, of which 702,500 share were repurchased through the repurchase program that was resolved and communicated on May 6, 2024.

On June 19, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA) informed that Loomis AB's Swedish subsidiary, Loomis Sverige AB, has received a remark with an administrative fine of SEK 40 million. The decision relates to the investigation that the SFSA initiated in April 2022. The investigation focused on how Loomis Sweden complied with the anti-money laundering regulations between April 2021 and March 2022. A remark is a lower degree of an administrative sanction that is issued when a breach has been deemed to be less serious. A provision corresponding to the administrative fine was booked as an item affecting comparability in the second quarter 2024.

Events after the end of the period

On July 23 it was announced that the Board of Directors has resolved to repurchase shares by virtue of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting 2024.

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 2023 Annual Report.

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.

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, 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 67–73 of Loomis' Annual and Sustainability Report 2023.

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.

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 –325 –2.3

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.
