Comments by the President and CEO

The improvement in operating income confirms my conviction that we will reach our most important financial goal, an operating margin of 10 percent for the full year 2014.

I am happy to announce that the growth we saw at the end of 2013 has continued into 2014 and that our operating income continues to improve. Our organic growth for the first quarter of 2014 was 4 percent (–2) and our operating margin was 8.4 percent (8.0). The improvement in operating income confirms my conviction that we will reach our most important financial goal, an operating margin of 10 percent for the full year 2014. This margin goal which we set at the end of 2010 excludes the recently announced acquisition of VIA MAT.

The Group's operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 242 million (218). The improvement is mainly attributable to an increase in the proportion of cash management services (CMS), the successful implementation of the contracts that were signed in 2013, and our continuous focus on improving efficiency in our operations.

Operations in Europe grew organically by 3 percent (–3). The growth came mainly from new contracts such as the previously announced DNB contract in Norway. Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 160 million (148) and the operating margin was 9.1 percent (9.0). Most of the countries in Europe had improved profitability, although the increased cost of risk had a negative impact on earnings in Sweden. The long-term trend for the Group's total cost of risk remains positive even though earnings for an individual quarter may be affected by the cost of risk to a greater or lesser extent.

Organic growth in the USA amounted to 5 percent (0), the highest growth figure for the segment since the Company was listed on the stock exchange in December 2008. The growth is mainly explained by the successful implementation of the major cash management services assignment that was announced in 2013 and by increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint®. The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 108 million (93) and the operating margin was 9.6 percent (8.7). The margin improvement was mainly the result of an increased proportion of revenues from cash management services and the ongoing efficiency improvements which continue to yield results.

Strategic acquisition after the end of the quarter

On April 4, 2014 we announced the acquisition of the Swiss VIA MAT Group, one of the world's leading international valuables logistics companies. This is the largest acquisition for Loomis since the listing on the stock exchange. It expands our service offering which, up to now, has consisted of Cash In Transit (CIT) and Cash Management Services (CMS), to now also include International Services. International Services consist of cross border transportation of cash and precious metals, storage of valuables and general logistics solutions. The acquisition also makes Loomis the market leader in cash handling in the Swiss market.

The acquisition gives Loomis a strong offering in international services, an area in which we have so far only had a limited offering. It also creates a platform for continued growth and we are now working intensely on integration planning. VIA MAT currently has an operating margin of around 6 percent, which is lower than Loomis' margin in existing operations. However, we believe that over time there is good potential to achieve margins in line with those in the rest of the Group.

In summary, our business developed well during the quarter, both in terms of growth and operating margin. It is also gratifying that we can now, through the VIA MAT acquisition expand our service offering to our customers. The acquisition will help us strengthen our position as one of the world's leading cash handling companies and I look forward to working with VIA MAT's management team and other employees on a successful integration and on further developing our new segment, International Services.

1) Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Amortization of acquisition-related intangible fixed assets, acquisition-related costs and revenue, and Items affecting comparability.

January – March 2014

Revenue for the first quarter amounted to SEK 2,877 million (2,706) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 4 percent (–1 and –2 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by the new contracts that went into effect in Europe and the USA in 2013.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 242 million (218) and the operating margin was 8.4 percent (8.0). At comparable exchange rates the improvement was SEK 17 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth within Cash Management Services (CMS) as well as by the contiuous efforts to improve efficiency which continue to yield results.

The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 223 million (247) and includes acquisition-related costs of SEK –12 million (36). The acquisition-related costs are mainly transaction costs relating to the acquisition of VIA MAT. The acquisition-related item reported in the first quarter of 2013 included a repayment installment of SEK 41 million of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations.

Income before taxes of SEK 210 million (234) includes a net financial expense of SEK –13 million (–13).

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 59 million (69) and represents a tax rate of 28 percent (29).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 2.00 (2.19). Adjusted for the repayment installment of SEK 41 million of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations, the earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 1.86 for the first quarter of 2013.

Revenue and operating income – Europe

January – March 2014

Revenue for the period amounted to SEK 1,753 million (1,641). The organic growth of 3 percent (–3) is mainly explained by increased revenue from the contract with DNB in Norway which went into effect in the third quarter of 2013. The real growth of 4 percent (–1) includes revenue attributable to the acquisition that took place in Slovakia in December 2013.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 160 million (148) and the operating margin was 9.1 percent (9.0). The contract with DNB which is now integrated has had a positive impact on operating income and several of the European operations have enjoyed positive earnings growth due to the continuous and group-wide efforts to improve efficiency. The positive earnings growth was partially offset by an increased cost of risk in Sweden.

Revenue and operating income – USA January – March 2014

Revenue in the USA amounted to SEK 1,124 million (1,065) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 5 percent (0 and 0 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by revenue from the CMS contract signed in 2013 with one of the biggest banks in the USA as well as increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint®.

Operating income (EBITA) for the quarter amounted to SEK 108 million (93) and the operating margin was 9.6 percent (8.7). The positive development is mainly explained by a continuing increase in the proportion of revenue from CMS as well as continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results. The proportion of revenue from CMS amounted to 27 percent (26) of the segment's total revenue for the quarter.

Cash flow

January – March 2014

Cash flow from operating activities of SEK 11 million (57) corresponded to 5 percent (26) of operating income (EBITA). Like the previous year, the cash flow effect of the change in other operating capital employed and other items was negative in the first quarter. This item is subject to seasonal variations and, over the past few years, the effects on cash flow of the changes in operating working capital during the latter part of the year have been positive. Increased investments compared to the same period the previous year, as well as higher accounts receivable due to increased revenue, are the main explanations for the lower cash flow.

Net investments in fixed assets during the period amounted to SEK 150 million (86), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 201 million (186). During the period, SEK 64 million (37) was invested in vehicles and security equipment, which are the two main categories of recurring investments.

Shareholders' equity and financing

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 4,297 million (4,165 as of December 31, 2013). The return on shareholders' equity was 17 percent (18 as of December 31, 2013) and the equity ratio was 46 percent (45 as of December 31, 2013).

Significant events and number of full-time employees

Significant events during the period

The Board of Directors has decided to propose that a resolution be passed at the 2014 Annual General Meeting regarding an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2014). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2013, the proposed scheme will involve two thirds of the variable remuneration being paid out in cash after the year it is earned. The remaining one third will be in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB which will be allotted to the participants at the beginning of 2016. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2016, other than in cases where the employee has left his/her position due to retirement, death or a long-term illness, in which case the employee will retain the right to receive bonus shares. The principles for performance measuring and other general principles that already apply to existing incentive schemes will continue to apply. Loomis AB will not issue any new shares or similar instruments as a result of this Incentive Scheme. To enable Loomis to allot these shares, it is proposed 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. The Incentive Scheme will enable around 300 key individuals within the Group to be shareholders in Loomis AB over time, which will increase employee commitment to Loomis' development for the benefit of all shareholders.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

In April 2014 it was announced that Loomis had signed an agreement on the acquisition of all of the shares in the Swiss group VIA MAT Holding AG ("VIA MAT"). The enterprise value is approxmately CHF 200 million, corresponding to approximately SEK 1,450 million.

The acquisition enables Loomis to expand its service offering beyond the existing service offering, Cash In Transit and Cash Management Services, to include International Services as well. The acquisition also makes Loomis the market leader in cash handling in the Swiss market.

The VIA MAT Group has approximately 1,000 employees and operations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, South America and the USA. The acquisition will give Loomis access to several new geographies and add new growth opportunities. The expected annual revenue will be approximately CHF 290 million, of which approximately CHF 240 million will come from International Services and approximately CHF 50 million from domestic cash handling operations in Switzerland.

The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2014.

The operations were taken over on May 5, 2014 and will be consolidated into Loomis as of the same date.

A preliminary acquisition analysis will be issued in the interim report for January-June 2014.

In May 2014 Loomis AB signed a five year loan, a Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility, of USD 100 million. The facility will be used for refinancing an existing facility which matures in 2014 and for general business purposes.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for the rolling twelve-month period was 19,576 (19,442 for the full year 2013). The acquisition which took place in 2013 as well as the contracts secured have resulted in an increase in the number of employees. The ongoing cost-saving programs have, however, 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.

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.

Financial risk

In its operations, Loomis is exposed to risk associated with financial instruments, such as liquid funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans. The risks related to these instruments are primarily:

  • Interest rate risks associated with liquid funds and loans
  • Exchange rate risks associated with transactions and translation of shareholder's equity
  • Financing risks relating to the Company's capital requirements
  • Liquidity risks associated with short-term solvency
  • Credit risks attributable to financial and commercial activities
  • Capital risks attributable to the capital structure
  • Price risks associated with changes in raw material prices (primarily fuel)

Factors of uncertainty

The economic trend in the first quarter of 2014 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income may be impacted during the remainder of 2014. Changes in general economic conditions can have various effects on the market for cash handling services, such as changes in consumption levels, the ratio of cash purchases to credit card purchases, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses as well as the staff turnover rate.

Additional factors of uncertainty for 2014 are risks associated with the acquisition and the integration of VIA MAT.

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 main reason for the 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.
