Financial goals

Comments by the President and CEO

It is also very gratifying to be able to present organic growth of 4 percent for the third quarter.

The third quarter was a strong one in which we saw improvement in almost all areas. Operating income, EBITA, amounted to SEK 311 million (272), which is equivalent to a margin for the quarter of 10.7 percent (9.8). Our focus on efficiency improvement at our branches is once again the main reason for the margin improvement, which is now up to 9.9 percent on a rolling 12-month basis. We are very close to our longterm operating margin goal of 10 percent. It is also very gratifying to be able to present organic growth of 4 percent (–2) for the third quarter. The main explanation for this is the numerous contracts we won at the end of 2012 and in 2013 so far, which are now clearly impacting our growth.

The operating margin in Europe was 13.7 percent (12.1) and organic growth was 4 percent (–2) for the quarter. The growth in the quarter is, as mentioned above, mainly the result of the fact that a number of the contracts we secured went into effect over the past few quarters. One example is the assignment for DNB in Norway and the contracts we received when a competitor in Sweden exited the market at the end of 2012. As regards the improved operating margin, I am happy to say that we have had positive earnings growth in most of the European countries.

The operating margin in the USA was 7.9 percent (8.5) and organic growth was 4 percent (–2) for the third quarter. The growth in the USA is mainly explained by increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint® and the fact that we secured several cash management contracts. Start-up costs relating to the new contracts and non-recurring costs relating to a few of our branches negatively affected operating income for the quarter. We expect the measures in place to lead to efficiency improvements over time.

Management changes, strategy and goals

On September 1, I took over as President and CEO of Loomis and my predecessor, Lars Blecko, took over my role as Executive Vice President and Regional President for our operation in the USA. This is an exciting change but one that was rather undramatic due to the fact that Lars and I have worked closely together on developing Loomis for a long time. The switch also paves the way for the next step of Loomis'

exciting journey. I have had the privilege of working at Loomis for almost seven years now; first as CFO, then as Regional President for our US operation and now as President and CEO. When we were listed on the stock exchange in 2008 we were convinced that we needed to create and implement a straightforward and clear business model that would make Loomis a strong and profitable company. Our objective was to improve our operating margin and strengthen and grow our market positions while taking advantage of new business opportunities. We have focused on efficiency improvement in all parts of our operations, with an emphasis on our branches and the branch managers. This model has worked well and has taken us from an operating margin of 5.3 percent in 2007 to our present margin of 9.9 percent on a rolling 12-month basis. The most important financial goal is an operating margin on a full-year basis of 10 percent by 2014, at the latest. With one year to go, we now have that goal in our sights. Everyone here at Loomis can be proud of that achievement. Does it mean that we are satisfied? Absolutely not.

As we now approach this financial goal, we are naturally starting to think about the next stage of Loomis' development. We will continue to strongly emphasize efficiency and profitability, but we will also sharpen our focus on growth. The changes we can consider making in the future should be described as a course adjustment, rather than a change of course, but there will still be changes that will make a difference. I intend to take the time necessary to work with my colleagues in our organization to lay out a path for the future.

In summary, we can be pleased with a good quarter with strong growth in both of our segments and a nine-month period in which our margin improved by 1.2 percentage points on the previous year. Loomis is in a strong position today and we are therefore ready to take the next step.

July – September 2013

Revenue for the third quarter amounted to SEK 2,897 million (2,788) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 4 percent (0 and –2 respectively). The positive revenue growth is mainly attributable to the contracts signed in the Swedish market in the latter part of 2012 and to increased revenue from cash management services (CMS) in the USA.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 311 million (272) which includes positive exchange rate effects of SEK 4 million. The operating margin amounted to 10.7 percent (9.8). Most of the countries in the European segment demonstrated strong earnings growth and the Nordic countries made the biggest contribution to the improved income, while restructuring costs in the UK had a negative impact on operating income. The US segment's operating income for the quarter was charged with start-up costs for new cash management services (CMS) contracts and non-recurring costs aimed at achieving further efficiency improvements at a few branches.

The operating income for the quarter (EBIT) amounted to SEK 303 million (251) and includes acquisition-related costs of SEK –0 million ( –14).

Income before taxes of SEK 294 million (234) includes net financial items of SEK –9 million (–18). The comparative item was negatively impacted by a dispute that was lost in Denmark last year. The improvement is otherwise mainly attributable to lower average net debt and a lower interest level due to a commercial paper program launched earlier in the year.

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 87 million (70) and represents a tax rate of 29 percent (30).

January – September 2013

Revenue for the period amounted to SEK 8,436 million compared to SEK 8,507 million for the corresponding period the previous year. Real growth amounted to 2 percent (4) and the Group's organic growth was 1 percent (0). Revenue was positively affected by new assignments that started in both Europe and the USA in the latter part of 2012 and in 2013, but this was partially offset by the decline in revenue following the cancellation of low profitability contracts in France and the UK in 2012. Price increases implemented by the Group as a percentage of revenue exceeded wage increases in percent during the period.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 805 million (709) which includes negative exchange rate effects of SEK –13 million. The operating margin improved to 9.5 percent (8.3). During the second quarter a non-recurring item was reported relating to the revaluation of the US subsidiary's medical and casualty provisions. This had a positive impact on operating income of around SEK 25 million. The continuous group-wide efforts to achieve improved efficiency, positive organic growth and an increase in the proportion of revenue from cash management services (CMS) have contributed to positive earnings growth in most countries.

The Group's staff turnover remained at an acceptable level of 23 percent (22).

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 799 million (656), which includes acquisition-related costs and revenue totaling SEK 29 million (–49) and an item affecting comparability of SEK –14 million (16). The acquisition-related item includes a repayment installment of SEK 41 million of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations and the item affecting comparability is to a large extent attributable to a write-down of the book value of an operation within the European segment.

Income before tax of SEK 764 million (611) includes net financial items of SEK –35 million (–45). Due to the inclusion of the defined benefit pension liability in net debt from the beginning of 2013, the net financial position was negatively affected by SEK –6 million. The improved net financial position is otherwise mainly attributable to lower average net debt and a lower interest level.

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 225 million (183) which represents a tax rate of 29 percent (30).

Revenue and income – Europe

July – September 2013

Revenue for the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,800 million (1,710) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 4 percent (0 and –2 respectively). The growth is mainly attributable to the contracts signed in Sweden during the latter part of 2012 but also to the assignments secured in Norway and Turkey in 2013.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 246 million (206) and the operating margin improved to 13.7 percent compared to 12.1 percent for the corresponding period the previous year. The third quarter of 2012 was negatively affected by a non-recurring cost relating to a dispute that was lost in Denmark. After adjustment for the non-recurring item in 2012 the operating margin improved by 0.7 percentage points. The improvement is due to positive development in most of the European countries with the biggest contribution coming from the Nordic countries. The operating income for the quarter was negatively affected by restructuring costs relating to the UK operation.

January – September 2013

The European segment's revenue for the first nine months amounted to SEK 5,174 million (5,193). Real growth amounted 2 percent (2) and organic growth was 1 percent (0). The organic growth is mainly the result of the contracts signed in Sweden in the latter part of 2012 but also to the contracts secured in 2013 in Turkey and Norway. Growth for the period was negatively affected following the cancellation of low profitability contracts in the UK and France in 2012 and by somewhat lower volumes in parts of southern Europe.

Operating income (EBITA) for the period amounted to SEK 575 million (517) and the operating margin was 11.1 percent (10.0). The improvement in profitability is mainly attributable to positive earnings growth in most of the European countries, particularly in the Nordic region, but also to the fact that the operating income for 2012 was reduced by the cost of preventing overcapacity within the French and UK operations as a result of cancelled contracts. During the period the cost of restructuring the UK operation was compensated for by a positive non-recurring item relating to the existing defined benefit pension plans in the UK being closed for future accrual.

Revenue and income – USA

July – September 2013

Revenue for the third quarter in the US segment amounted to SEK 1,098 million (1,077) and both real growth and organic growth were 4 percent (–1 and –2 respectively). Increased revenue from cash management services (CMS) is the main reason for the growth. CMS revenue amounted to 28 percent (25) of the segment's total revenue for the quarter.

Operating income was SEK 87 million (92) and the operating margin was 7.9 percent (8.5). The decline in the operating margin is a result of start-up costs for new contracts and non-recurring costs aimed at achieving further efficiency improvements at a few of the branches. The ongoing focus on cutting costs and improving efficiency continued and most of the branches continue experiencing a positive earnings growth.

January – September 2013

Revenue for the period amounted to SEK 3,262 million (3,314). Both real growth and organic growth amounted to 2 percent (6 and 0 respectively). The growth is explained by increased revenue from CMS.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 307 million (275) and the operating margin was 9.4 percent (8.3). During the second quarter a non-recurring item of around SEK 25 million was reported relating to the revaluation of healthcare and casualty provisions, which had a positive impact on operating income. A continuous focus on preventive measures has resulted in a favorable indemnity trend which has affected the actuarial assumptions used as the basis for calculating the size of provisions. The operating margin was also positively affected by continuous efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency, which are yielding results, and by the fact that several branches are continuing to experience positive earnings growth. The margin improvement was also helped by the fact that the proportion of CMS in relation to the segment's total revenue continued to increase, amounting to 27 percent (24).

Cash flow

July – September 2013

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 368 million (362), equivalent to 119 percent (133) of operating income (EBITA).

An improvement in the number of customer credit days compared with the previous quarter had a positive effect on cash flow.

The item income tax paid includes a deposit of EUR 9 million relating to an ongoing tax audit in Spain. The outcome of the tax audit is, currently, not considered to have a material impact on the Group´s tax cost due to double taxation treaty.

January – September 2013

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 637 million (547), equivalent to 79 percent (77) of operating income (EBITA).

The cash flow effect of changes in other operating working capital and other items as well as changes in accounts receivable was SEK –272 million (–174).

Significant events and number of full-time employees

Significant events during the period

In January 2013 it was announced that Jarl Dahlfors, Executive Vice President and Regional President USA, had been appointed as President and CEO of Loomis. Jarl Dahlfors took up the post on September 1, 2013, taking over from Lars Blecko who took up the position as Executive Vice President and Regional President USA on the same date.

In February 2013 Loomis' UK subsidiary signed a partnership agreement with NCR whereby NCR will take over ATM technical service operations for ATMs in the UK. Under the agreement Loomis will purchase services from NCR in order to continue to offer its bank customers high quality service for their ATMs. The partnership creates competitive benefits and enables Loomis to provide a unique offering of combined services which brings opportunities for new business in the UK. In total approximately 150 technicians will have a new employer, although they will still be serving some of the same customers.

In February 2013 Loomis completed a first issue under a commercial paper program. The program enables Loomis to issue commercial papers up to a total amount of SEK 1,500 million. The commercial papers can be issued with a term to maturity of up to 12 months. The commercial paper program supplements Loomis' core financing, diversifies the Company's debt structure, and allows for more flexibility in the management of debt and liquidity. Loomis expects the program to have a positive impact on the Group's net financial items.

In March 2013 it was announced that Loomis' warrant subscription program 2009/2013 was about to be concluded. As a result of the conclusion process, the number of Class B shares increased in March by 2,219,479 and Loomis AB received SEK 160 million in connection with the new share issue. In July 2013 the warrant subscription program was concluded resulting in an increase in the number of Class B shares of 48,570 and an additional SEK 4 million for Loomis AB. As of September 30, 2013, Loomis AB's share capital was SEK 376,399,145. The number of shares in the Company is 75,279,829 of which 3,428,520 are Class A shares carrying ten votes each, and 71,851,309 are Class B shares carrying one vote each. The total number of votes in Loomis AB (publ) following the conclusion of the warrant subscription program is 106,136,509. The subscription period for the shares was March 1 to May 31, 2013 and the subscription price was SEK 72.50 per share.

In March 2013 negotiations were concluded concerning a possible additional repayment of the purchase price for the acquisition of Pendum's cash handling operations. The negotiations resulted in a payment to Loomis of an additional USD 6.3 million (approximately SEK 41 million) in the first quarter of 2013. Similar to the first repayment of USD 4.9 million (approximately SEK 33 million), which was received in the fourth quarter of 2012, this repayment was also reported as acquisition-related revenue. Acquisition-related revenue is not included in operating income (EBITA). Combined, the repayments total USD 11.2 million (approximately SEK 74 million).

During the period March 20 – 22, 2013 and as of May 16, 2013, Loomis AB repurchased a total of 71,869 Class B shares. The repurchased shares constitute a portion of the shares that will be transferred to participants in Loomis Incentive Scheme 2012. As of September 30, 2013, Loomis AB held 121,863 Class B treasury shares.

In April 2013 Loomis' US subsidiary secured an assignment with one of USA's largest banks to take over its cash management operations at four locations, including two of the bank's major units in Houston and San Diego. Under this assignment the bank branches' cash will be processed at Loomis' cash centers instead of in the banks' own vaults. The assignment began in June 2013 and has an annual order value of approximately USD 7 million. The order value for 2013 amounts to approximately USD 3 million.

At the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2013, Ingrid Bonde and Cecilia Daun Wennborg were elected as new board members. The 2013 Annual General Meeting also voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2013) which will involve two thirds of the participants' variable remuneration being paid out in cash in the year after it is earned. The remaining one third will be in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB which will be allotted at the beginning of 2015. To enable Loomis to allot these shares, the Annual General Meeting resolved that Loomis AB will enter into a share swap agreement with a third party under which the third party will acquire the Loomis shares in its own name and transfer them to the incentive scheme participants.

In May 2013 it was announced that Loomis' Turkish subsidiary had signed a three-year agreement with HSBC for cash in transit and cash management services. Under the agreement, which initially covers a three-year period, Loomis will supply cash to approximately 260 bank branches and approximately 470 ATMs in 16 cities. The agreement means that Loomis, for the first time, will be responsible for the entire cash management operation for a large customer in Turkey. It also represents an important step for Loomis towards becoming a nationwide operator in Turkey. It was also announced that Loomis' Turkish subsidiary had won several prestigious contracts in 2013, including a two-year contract with Istanbul Ulasim, Istanbul's subway system. Under this agreement, Loomis will supply ticket vending machines and entrance gates along five subway lines with cash and will also be responsible for cash processing. The Turkish subsidiary has also secured an expanded contract with ING in Turkey. The renewed contract covers more than 200 of ING's bank branches and spans three years. The combined annual contract value for HSBC, Istanbul Ulasim and ING is approximately SEK 40 million.

In June 2013 Loomis' Norwegian subsidiary was appointed by DNB, Norway's largest bank, to manage all of the bank's cash handling services in Norway. The assignment covers cash in transit (CIT), cash management services (CMS) and responsibility for managing 880 machines, more than 300 of which are ATMs. The contract covers a period of three years and includes an option for DNB to extend the contract for an additional two years. The total annual contract value is expected to exceed NOK 100 million and the contract went into effect on September 1, 2013. The contract, which is strategically important and makes Loomis the market leader in Norway, is the single largest contract the Group has secured since the Company was listed on the stock exchange in 2008.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for the rolling twelve-month period was 19,378 (19,448 for the full year 2012). The ongoing cost-saving programs have primarily reduced the number of overtime hours and temporary employees, but have also reduced the number of regular employees.

Risks and uncertainties

Operational risks

Operational risks are risks associated with the day-to-day operations and the services offered by the Company to its customers. These risks can result in negative consequences when the services performed do not meet the established requirements and result in loss of or damage to property or personal injury.

Loomis' strategy for operational risk management is based on two fundamental principles:

  • No loss of life
  • Balance between profitability and risk of theft and robbery.

Although the risk of robbery is unavoidable in cash handling, Loomis continually strives to minimize this risk. The most vulnerable situations are at the roadside, in the vehicles and during cash processing.

Loomis' operations are insured in such a way that the maximum cost of each theft or robbery incident is limited to the deductible amount.

The Parent Company, Loomis AB, is deemed not to have any significant operational risks as the Company does not engage in operations other than the conventional control of subsidiaries and the management of certain Group matters. The major risks deemed to apply to the Parent Company relate to fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly as regards USD and EUR, increased interest rates and the risk of possible impairment of assets.

Factors of uncertainty

The economic trend in the first nine months of 2013 impacted certain countries and geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income may be impacted during the remainder of 2013.

Changes in general economic conditions can have various effects on the market for cash handling services, such as changes in the consumption level, the proportion of cash purchases compared with credit card purchases, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses as well as the rate of staff turnover.

Seasonal variations

The Company's earnings fluctuate across the seasons and this should be taken into consideration when making assessments on the basis of interim financial information. The primary reason for these seasonal variations is that the need for cash handling services increases during the summer vacation period, July and August, and during the holiday season at the end of the year, i.e. November and December.

The Parent Company does not engage in any operating activities. It is only involved in Group management and support functions. The average number of full-time employees at the head office during the first nine months of 2013 was 18.

The Parent Company's revenue mainly comes from franchise fees and other revenue from subsidiaries. The change in income after financial items is explained by the write-down in 2012 of the book value of the shares in the UK subsidiary in

the amount of SEK 468 million. The write-down was carried out to ensure the consistency of the book value in the Parent Company with the book value in the Group, for which reason the write-down had no effect on the Group's statement of income or balance sheet.

The Parent Company's fixed assets consist mainly of shares in subsidiaries and loan receivables from subsidiaries. The liabilities are mainly interest-bearing liabilities.

Other significant events

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 53 and 80 of the 2012 Annual Report. As there have been no other significant changes to the events described in the Annual Report, no further comments have been made on these matters in this interim report.

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 International Financial Reporting 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 Note 2 on pages 47–52 of the 2012 Annual Report.

As of January 1, 2013, the Group is applying the EU-adopted amended standard IAS 19 Employee Benefits. The amendment means that past service costs are recognized immediately. Interest expenses and the expected return on plan assets are replaced by net interest calculated applying the discount rate based on the net surplus or net deficit in the defined benefit plan. For years prior to 2013 the impact is not expected to amount to significant amounts. The costs relating to defined-benefit compensation are expected to increase by approximately SEK 10 million annually before tax. The Group's accounts have also been affected by a reclassification of the pension liability to an interest-bearing liability which is included in the net debt. As a result of this reclassification, the net interest is recognized as a financial expense.

The issued commercial papers are categorized as long-term liabilities. Previous periods have been restated accordingly.

The Parent Company's financial reports are prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The most important accounting principles with respect to the Parent Company can be found in Note 36 on page 86 of the 2012 Annual Report.

Outlook for 2013

The Company is not providing any forecast information for 2013.
