Comments by the President and CEO

»The fourth quarter results were

Loomis' best ever – for the Group as

a whole and for our two segments.«

The fourth quarter results were Loomis' best ever – both for the Group as a whole and for our two segments. The Group's operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 310 million (266) and the operating margin was 10.9 percent (9.2). In Europe the operating income was SEK 219 million (204) and in the USA it was SEK 125 million (89), while the operating margins improved to 12.4 (11.5) and 11.5 percent (8.1) respectively. Thanks to a favorable development in handling claims, the operating income in the USA was positively affected by a non-recurring item of SEK 25 million relating to revaluations of casualty and medical provisions.

2012 as a whole was a strong year. Operating income (EBITA ) amounted to SEK 1,019 million (912), including negative exchange rate effects of SEK 8 million, while the operating margin increased to 9.0 percent (8.3). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 8.90 (7.03), which is an improvement of 27 percent compared to the previous year. The cash flow from operating activities remained strong, despite the negative effect of an unusually high number of non-business days at the end of the year, and amounted to SEK 860 million (700) or 84 percent (77) of operating income (EBITA).

The most important explanations for the positive earnings development in the fourth quarter and for the full year are our continuous efforts to improve efficiency and to develop our offering and our business. These parallel processes are now reflected in our earnings. Another explanation for our earnings improvement is that we are starting to see the effect of the low profitability contracts we deliberately terminated in 2012, particularly in France and the UK. In the fourth quarter, we have signed a number of new large contracts in Sweden. The increased annual order value was around SEK 200 million and the new contracts are partly the result of the fact that a competing cash handling company went bankrupt. These contracts were already having an impact on revenue in the fourth quarter, while the effect on earnings will start to be seen in the first quarter, and more substantially in the second quarter of 2013. In January 2013 we also signed our first strategically important contract on the Turkish market. This two-year contract represents a total order value in the region of SEK 20 million.

Despite the weak economy in most of the countries where we operate, our market was relatively strong. In most of the European countries people tend to pay with cash when times are more difficult in order to have better control over their personal finances.

In the USA, our market has benefitted from increased interest among banks in outsourcing more of their cash management. The result for us was that the percentage of cash management services (CMS) increased in 2012 to 24 percent (22) of our revenue in the USA. This trend will also improve our profitability over time.

In the fourth quarter we reached an agreement with the seller of Pendum's cash handing operations on compensation for lost volumes due to the fact that some of the customers that were taken over in the acquisition decided to diversify their cash handling services providers. Under the agreement we received a repayment installment of USD 4.9 million of the purchase price which we are reporting as acquisition-related revenue. The negotiations have not yet been concluded.

In summary, we had a good year with a strong finish. We have secured many exciting orders, improved efficiency and successfully integrated our acquisitions in Spain and Argentina. Last but not least, we are well on the way to reaching our margin target of 10 percent by 2014 at the latest.

October – December 2012

Revenue in the fourth quarter was SEK 2,852 million compared to SEK 2,881 million for the same period the previous year. Real growth for the quarter amounted to 2 percent (8) and is mainly explained by acquisitions made in the USA (Oregon Armored Services, "OAS"), Spain and Argentina. Organic growth, which was 0 percent (2), was positively affected by favorable market development in the Swedish market. Growth was impeded, however, by lower volumes after low profitability contracts were cancelled in the UK and France earlier in the year. Changes in the fuel surcharges which are passed on to the customers had no significant effect on the organic growth.

Operating income (EBITA), which amounted to SEK 310 million (266), was affected by negative exchange rate effects of SEK 7 million. The quarter's operating income was also positively affected by a non-recurring item of SEK 25 million after revaluation of the US subsidiary's casualty and medical provisions. The revaluations result from a positive development in claims handling whereby the actuarial assumptions that are the basis for the assessment of the size of the provisions have been changed. After adjustment for this nonrecurring item, the operating margin was 10.0 percent. The improved margin is mainly due to the continuous Group-wide efforts to improve efficiency and the fact that the integration of the cash handing operations acquired from Pendum has shown positive results.

Operating income (EBIT), which amounted to SEK 333 million (262), includes acquisition-related costs of SEK –3 million (–6) and a repayment installment of SEK 33 million of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations.

Net financial items was SEK –11 million (–15). The improvement is mainly attributable to more favorable interest rates. Income before tax was SEK 321 million (247) and net income was SEK 222 million (180). The tax rate in the current quarter was 31 percent (27).

January – December 2012

Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 11,360 million (10,973) and real growth was 3 percent (7). Real growth is mainly attributable to the acquisitions made in 2011 in the USA (Pendum) and Turkey, and in 2012 in the USA (OAS), Spain and Argentina. Organic growth amounted to 0 percent (1) and was positively affected by slightly improved market conditions in most markets. Organic growth was, however, negatively affected by terminated contracts in the USA (Pendum) and by reduced volumes resulting from the termination of low profitability contracts in France. Changes in the fuel surcharges which are passed on to the customers had no significant effect on the organic growth for the Group. Price increases as a percentage of revenue exceeded wage increases in percent during the period.

Operating income (EBITA), which was negatively affected by currency effects of SEK 8 million, amounted to SEK 1,019 million (912) and the operating margin was 9.0 percent (8.3). The Group's continuous efforts to improve efficiency as well as the integration of the cash handling operations acquired from Pendum had a positive impact on the operating margin. Operating income was, however, negatively affected by restructuring costs relating to preventing the over-capacity that would otherwise have occurred, mainly in the French operations but also in the UK, as a result of termination of contracts.

The Group's staff turnover remained at an acceptable level, amounting to around 22 percent (22).

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 988 million (805) which includes acquisition-related costs of SEK –18 million (–42) and an item affecting comparability of SEK 16 million (–44). The acquisition-related item is mainly costs relating to the acquisition of Efectivox and a repayment installment of SEK 33 million of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations. The item affecting comparability is a reversal of a portion of the provision amounting to SEK 59 million made in 2007 for overtime compensation in Spain. Net financial items amounted to SEK –56 million (–62), while income before taxes was SEK 932 million (743). Income after taxes amounted to SEK 650 million (513) and the tax rate for the period was 30 percent (31).

Revenue and operating income – Europe

October – December

Revenue in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1,762 million compared to SEK 1,778 million for the same period the previous year. The acquisitions made during the year in Spain and Argentina* contributed to the quarter's real growth which was 2 percent (4). Organic growth, which was 0 percent (3), is mainly the result of favorable market, increased market shares and prices remaining stable in most of the European countries. In Spain the increase in revenue from retail customers compensated for the negative impact that the structural changes in the country's banking sector had on growth. Also, changes in the Swedish cash handling market have had a positive impact on growth. Organic growth was, however, negatively affected by lower volumes due to the termination of low profitability contracts in France and the UK earlier in the year.

Operating income (EBITA) for the quarter amounted to SEK 219 million (204) and the operating margin increased to 12.4 percent (11.5). The improvement is mainly attributable to the Group's continuous efforts to improve efficiency and cut costs and the fact that the ongoing restructuring work within the French operations has continued to show positive results.

* Argentina is included in the European segment because the operations there are reported and followed up as part of the European segment.

January – December

Revenue for the European segment for the full year amounted to SEK 6,955 million (6,934). The 2 percent (3) real growth for the period was positively affected by the acquisition in Turkey in 2011 and by the acquisitions in Spain and Argentina* in 2012. Organic growth, which was 0 percent (2), was positively affected by a more favorable market and by the fact that prices remained stable in most of the European markets. In Spain the negative impact that the restructuring of the banking sector had on growth was offset by an increase in revenue from retail customers. However, for the segment as a whole, the organic growth was negatively impacted by the termination of low profitability contracts in the French cash in transit operation earlier in the year.

Operating income for the period (EBITA) amounted to SEK 736 million (714) and the operating margin was 10.6 percent (10.3). The improvement is mainly attributable to the restructuring work that is ongoing in France and the Group's continuous efforts to improve efficiency and cut costs, which continues to show results. The operating income was affected by costs relating to preventing the over-capacity which would otherwise have occurred in the French and UK operations as a result of terminated contracts. Operating income was also affected by a non-recurring item of SEK 16 million relating to a dispute that Loomis lost in Denmark in the third quarter.

Revenue and operating income – USA

October – December

The fourth quarter revenue amounted to SEK 1,091 million compared to SEK 1,104 million for the same period the previous year. Real growth was 1 percent (17). The organic growth in the current quarter was marginally negatively affected by the reduction of volumes that was noticeable in the fourth quarter of 2011 relating to the contract portfolio overtaken from Pendum. Increased volumes from other contracts compensated for the reduction in volumes, and organic growth for the quarter amounted to 0 percent (1). The Pendum purchase agreement contained a clause on compensation for parts of the volume loss, which resulted in a repayment installment of USD 4.9 million of the purchase price being paid to Loomis during the quarter. The repayment installment is reported as acquisition-related revenue. Organic growth was not significantly impacted by the changes in fuel surcharges which are passed on the customers.

The US operation developed in a positive direction in the fourth quarter. Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 125 million (89) while the operating margin increased to 11.5 percent (8.1). A non-recurring item of SEK 25 million relating to the revaluation of casualty and medical provisions had a positive impact on operating income. The revaluations result from a positive development in claims handling whereby the actuarial assumptions that are the basis for the assessment of the size of the provisions have been changed. After adjustment for this non-recurring item, the operating margin was 9.2 percent. The margin improvement is mainly attributable to the continuous efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency and to the effect of the integration of the operations acquired from Pendum. The margin was also positively affected by the fact that the share of revenue from cash management services (CMS) increased to 26 percent (22) of the segment's total revenue.

January – December

Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 4,405 million (4,039). Real growth was 5 percent (12) and is mainly related to acquisitions conducted in 2011 of Pendum's cash handling operation and OAS. Organic growth for the period amounted to 0 percent (0) and was affected by the fact that a number of the customers who were taken over in connection with the acquisition of Pendum's cash handling operation decided to diversify their providers of cash handling services. Changes to fuel surcharges which are passed on to the customers did not have a significant impact on the period's organic growth.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 400 million (295) and the operating margin was 9.1 percent compared to 7.3 percent for the full year 2011. After adjustment for the aforementioned revaluation of casualty and medical provisions, the operating margin amounted to 8.5 percent. The effect of the integration of the operations acquired from Pendum and the continuous efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency are the main reasons for the improved margin. The margin was also positively affected due to the share of revenue from cash management services (CMS) increased to 24 percent (22) of the segment's total revenue.

Acquisitions January – December 2012

In December 2011, it was announced that the Loomis subsidiary in the USA had signed an agreement to acquire the shares in Oregon Armored Service Inc. The acquisition has further strengthened Loomis' presence in north-west USA.

In December 2011, it was announced that Loomis' Spanish subsidiary had entered into an agreement to acquire the shares in the Spanish cash handling company Efectivox. As a result of the structural changes in the Spanish banking sector in recent years there is now an increased requirement for cash handling companies and banks to operate on a nationwide basis. This acquisition has enabled Loomis to offer cash handling services throughout the entire Spanish mainland. When the acquisition was announced it was contingent upon approval from the Spanish competition authority. This approval was obtained in February 2012. Although the integration of the acquired operation was completed in the second quarter of 2012, some acquisition-related costs negatively affected the 2012 third quarter earnings.

In April 2012, it was announced that Loomis' Spanish subsidiary had signed an agreement to acquire the shares in the Argentinean cash handling company Vigencia. The company, which mainly operates in the Buenos Aires region, was taken over on April 1, 2012. The acquisition, which is Loomis' first outside Europe and the USA, marks the beginning of a broader expansion into Latin America.

In November 2012, Loomis' subsidiary in the USA received a repayment installment of SEK 33 million of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations. This repayment installment is reported as acquisition-related revenue in the statement of income. The negotiations have not yet been concluded.

Significant events and the number of full-time employees

Significant events January – December

In accordance with the decision by the Board of Directors in July 2011 and authorized by the 2011 Annual General Meeting, Loomis AB repurchased 57,876 Class B shares during the period March 28 – 30, 2012. The repurchased shares are a portion of the shares that may subsequently be transferred to the participants in Incentive Scheme 2011. As of March 31, 2012 the company was holding 111,113 treasury shares.

On April 2 and on May 18, 2012 Loomis AB repurchased 17,205 and 4,000 Class B shares respectively. These shares may subsequently be transferred to the participants in Incentive Scheme 2011. As of December 31, 2012 Loomis AB was holding 132,318 treasury shares.

In April 2012, the Board of Directors for Loomis AB decided on a proposal to the 2012 Annual General Meeting on the introduction of an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2012), equivalent to the scheme adopted at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. Similar to the existing incentive scheme, the proposed one will involve two thirds of variable remuneration being paid out in cash the year after it is earned. The remaining third will be used by Loomis AB to repurchase shares which will be allotted to the employees no later than June 30, 2014.

On June 1, 2012, Anders Haker took up his position as the Group CFO. Marcus Hagegård took up his post as CFO for Loomis' operations in the USA.

In the summer of 2012, Loomis' Swedish subsidiary signed a framework agreement with Swedbank. Under the agreement, which covers cash management and cash in transit services, Swedbank's customers will have access to cash management services, transport logistics for cash and a nationwide network of service boxes. This assignment further reinforces Loomis position as the specialist in cash handling.

In September 2012, Loomis' Danish subsidiary lost a dispute with one of Denmark's large retail chains. The dispute began at the beginning of 2008 when Loomis terminated a supply contract due to non-payment by the customer. The total cost for Loomis, including Loomis' share of the court costs, amounted to SEK 20 million, of which SEK 16 million negatively affected operating income and SEK 4 million negatively affected net financial items in the third quarter of 2012.

As a result of changes in the Swedish cash handling industry, Loomis' Swedish subsidiary signed in September several new customer contracts. The combined order value of the new contracts is around SEK 120 million on an annual basis. The contracts, which cover cash handling services, went into effect immediately.

In December the co-operation with bank-owned Bankomat AB in Sweden was expanded so that Loomis Swedish subsidiary will manage all of the approximately 2,000 ATMs owned by Bankomat AB. The expanded agreement will run for four years and represents an annual order value of SEK 100 million. These new agreements have further strengthened Loomis' position as the specialist in cash handling in the Swedish market.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees in 2012 was 19,448 (19,511). The completed acquisitions have increased the average number of full-time employees. 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, meaning that the maximum cost of each theft or robbery incident is limited to the deductible amount, as stipulated in the insurance cover.

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 refer 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 during 2012 impacted certain countries and geographic markets negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income may be impacted during 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, which 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 – August, and during the holiday season at the end of the year, i.e. November – December.

1) As of December 31, 2012 the Company had 132,318 Class B treasury shares. The treasury shares will be allotted to the employees in accordance with the Incentive Scheme 2011. 2) As of December 31, 2011 the Company had 124,109 Class B treasury shares. The treasury shares were allotted to the employees in accordance with the Incentive Scheme 2010.

The Parent Company's gross income comes mainly from franchise fees from subsidiaries.

Income after financial items was SEK 73 million (333) including a write-down of SEK 468 million of the book value of shares in the UK subsidiary. The write-down was made so that the amount recorded in the Parent Company's accounts would be equal to the book value in the consolidated accounts, and for this reason, the write-down has not had any effect on the Group's income or balance sheet total. Income after financial items were also affected by dividends and group contributions received from subsidiaries totaling SEK 492 million. The corresponding dividends for 2011 were recognized as anticipated dividends in the 2010 year-end accounts and were therefore not included in the 2011 income.

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

The Group's Parent Company consists of Group management and head office departments providing strategic management for the Group. The average number of full-time employees at the head office in 2012 was 17.

Other significant events

For critical estimates and assessments and contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 53 and 80 of the 2011 Annual Report. The dispute in Denmark described on page 80 of the 2011 Annual Report was resolved during the year and this resulted in a cost of SEK 20 million which negatively impacted the 2012 income. 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 year-end 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 2011 Annual Report.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits was amended in June 2011. The amendment means that past service costs should be recognized immediately. Interest expenses and the expected return on plan assets will be replaced by a net interest calculated applying the discount rate based on the net surplus or net deficit in the defined benefit plan. The Group will apply the amended standard for the financial year starting on January 1, 2013. For years prior to 2013 the impact is not expected to amount to significant amounts. In addition, Loomis will recognize the pension liability as part of net debt starting January 1, 2013.

The Parent Company's financial reports have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The most important accounting principles for the Parent Company can be found in Note 36 on page 86 of the 2011 Annual Report.

Review report

(translation of the Swedish original)

Review report over Interim Financial Statements (Interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 for Loomis AB. The Board of Directors and the President and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish 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 Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 is

substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
