Comments by the President and CEO

The trend of annual improvement in our operating margin is continuing.

The Group's operating income for 2013 amounted to SEK 1,099 million (1,019), while the operating margin increased to 9.7 percent (9.0). The positive trend of increased operating margins is continuing and if we look at the profitability improvement over the past five years, our operating margin is up 2.7 percentage points. Our operating margin improved in 2013 mainly due to continued efforts to improve efficiency at our branches. An increase in the proportion of revenue from cash management services in the USA and numerous new contracts in Europe have also contributed to our improved operating income.

In addition to positive growth in operating income, earnings per share were up by 10 percent amounting to SEK 9.83 (8.90). Cash flow from operating activities remained strong, amounting to SEK 957 million (860), equivalent to 87 percent (84) of operating income (EBITA).

In summary, I can report that 2013 was our most successful year since the listing in 2008 both in terms of operating margin and net income.

In my third quarter comments I wrote that we had started working on further developing our long-term plan for Loomis. We will continue to work on our efficiency improvements, which have proven to be successful, at the same time as we will increase our focus on growth-promoting activities. My colleagues and I are enthusiastic about persuing the successful development of Loomis.

Jarl Dahlfors President and CEO

First and foremost, I can report that the trend of annual improvement in our operating margin is continuing and that we are well on the way to achieving our operating margin goal of 10 percent in 2014. I am also happy to report organic growth of 2 percent for the year in both Europe and the USA. In 2012 the organic growth for both segments was 0 percent.

The Group's operating income (EBITA) for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 295 million (310) and the operating margin was 10.1 percent (10.9). Adjusted for a positive non-recurring item of SEK 25 million reported in the USA in the fourth quarter of 2012 relating to the revaluation of medical and casualty provisions, the operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 0.1 percentage points better than the previous year.

In Europe the operating income was SEK 219 million (219) and the operating margin was 12.0 percent (12.4). The slightly lower margin is mainly due to costs incurred in the quarter linked to the contract with DNB in Norway which went into effect on September 1. The DNB contract is the single largest contract signed since Loomis was listed on the stock exchange in 2008. Furthermore, the cost of risk for the quarter was slightly higher than in the fourth quarter the previous year. During the quarter we acquired the cash handling operations of G4S in Slovakia, making us the market leader in that country. The acquisition is in line with our strategy to be number one or two in the markets where we operate. The integration process is going well and we look forward to developing the acquired business.

In the USA our operating income amounted to SEK 107 million (125) while our operating margin was 9.8 percent (11.5). After adjustment for the above-mentioned non-recurring item, the operating margin was 9.2 percent for the corresponding quarter the previous year. The improved results can mainly be attributed to our continuous efforts to improve efficiency and to increased revenue from our cash management services.

October – December 2013

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,928 million compared to SEK 2,852 million for the corresponding period the previous year. Both real growth and organic growth amounted to 3 percent (2 and 0 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by the contracts signed in Sweden at the end of 2012 and in Norway in 2013, and by increased revenue from cash management services (CMS) in the USA.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 295 million, compared to SEK 310 million for the corresponding period the previous year. At comparable exchange rates the negative change was SEK 16 million. A non-recurring item of SEK 25 million relating to the revaluation of medical and casualty provisions in the USA had a positive effect on operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012. After adjustment for the non-recurring item, the operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 amounted to 10.0 percent, while the operating margin for the current quarter was 10.1 percent.

The operating income for the quarter (EBIT) amounted to SEK 286 million (333) and includes acquisition-related costs of SEK –2 million (30). The fourth quarter of 2012 included a positive item of SEK 33 million for a repayment installment of the purchase price for Pendum's cash handling operations.

Income before taxes of SEK 274 million (321) includes a net financial expense of SEK –12 million (–11).

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 77 million (99) and represents a tax rate of 28 percent (31).

January – December 2013

Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 11,364 million (11,360) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 2 percent (3 and 0 respectively). 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 cancelation of low profitability contracts in France and the UK in 2012.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,099 (1,019) million and the operating margin improved to 9.7 percent (9.0). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was SEK 92 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 are the main explanations for the positive earnings growth.

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

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 1,085 million (988), which includes acquisition-related costs and revenue totaling SEK 28 million (–18) and an item affecting comparability of SEK –14 million (16). The acquisition-related item of SEK 28 million includes a repayment installment of SEK 41 million (33) 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 taxes of SEK 1,038 million (932) includes a net financial expense of –47 SEK million (–56). The improvement is mainly attributable to lower average net debt and lower interest rate levels. 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 –9 million.

The tax expense for the year amounted to SEK 302 million (282), which represents a tax rate of 29 percent (30).

Revenue and operating income – Europe October – December 2013

Revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1,831 million (1,762) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 3 percent (2 and 0 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by the contracts signed in Sweden at the end of 2012 and the contract signed in Norway in 2013.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 219 million (219) and the operating margin amounted to 12.0 percent (12.4). Start-up costs relating to the implementation of the DNB contract won in Norway negatively affected the current quarter's operating income. Also, the European segment has not had the same favorable development in cost of risk as in the corresponding period the previous year.

January – December 2013

Revenue for the European segment for 2013 amounted to SEK 7,005 million (6,955). Real growth amounted to 2 percent (2) and organic growth to 2 percent (0). The growth is mainly explained by the contracts signed in Sweden at the end of 2012 and the contract won in Norway in 2013 but also, to some extent, by the contracts won in Turkey in 2013. Growth for the period was negatively affected by 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 year amounted to SEK 794 million (736) and the operating margin was 11.3 percent (10.6). Most of the European countries had a positive earnings growth in 2013, although the Nordic countries made the biggest contribution to the profitability improvement. The previous year's operating income was negatively affected by restructuring costs associated with cancelled contracts in France and the UK. The contracts were cancelled due to low profitability. The operating income in 2012 was also negatively affected by a non-recurring cost of SEK 16 million relating to a dispute lost in Denmark.

Revenue and operating income – USA October – December 2013

Revenue for the fourth quarter in the US segment amounted to SEK 1,097 million (1,091) and both real growth and organic growth were 2 percent (1 and 0 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by increased revenue from cash management services (CMS), which accounted for 28 percent (26) of the segment's total revenue. In 2013 a number of large CMS contracts were signed and are now fully operational and having a positive effect on revenue.

Operating income (EBITA) for the quarter was SEK 107 million (125) and the operating margin was 9.8 percent (11.5). A non-recurring item of SEK 25 million relating to the revaluation of medical and casualty provisions in the USA had a positive effect on the operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012. After adjustment for the non-recurring item, the operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 amounted to 9.2 percent. The improvement is mainly explained by the fact that most branches are continuing to report positive earnings growth, which is a result of the ongoing focus on cutting costs and improving efficiency. Also, the proportion of CMS in relation to total revenue continues to increase.

January – December 2013

Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 4,359 million compared to SEK 4,405 million in 2012. Both real growth and organic growth amounted to 2 percent (5 and 0 respectively). Increased revenue from CMS is the main explanation for the growth.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 414 million (400) and the operating margin was 9.5 percent (9.1). The operating margin was also positively affected by continuous efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency, which are yielding results. As a result, most branches are continuing to experience positive earnings growth. The margin improvement was also helped by the fact that revenue from cash management services continued to increase and for the full year 2013 amounted to 27 percent (24) of the segment's total revenue.

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 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 of SEK 1,500 million. The commercial papers may 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. The program has had a positive impact on the Group's net financial expense for 2013.

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 December 31, 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) after the conclusion of the warrant 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 operation. The negotiations resulted in a payment to Loomis of an additional USD 6.3 million (around SEK 41 million) in the first quarter of 2013. Similar to the first repayment of USD 4.9 million (around 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 amount to USD 11.2 million (around 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 later be transferred to participants in Incentive Scheme 2012. As of December 31, 2013, Loomis AB held 121,863 Class B treasury shares.

In April 2013 Loomis' US subsidiary secured a contract 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, with the remaining one third being 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 provide 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 being 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 machines and turnstiles 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.

In November 2013 it was announced that Johannes Bäckman, Head of Growth, and Patrik Högberg, Regional President Nordic Countries, have joined Loomis Group management.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for 2013 was 19,442 (19,448). 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.

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 risks

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, the following:

  • Interest rate risks associated with liquid funds and loans
  • Exchange rate risks associated with transactions and recalculation of shareholder's equity
  • Financial 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 2013 impacted certain countries and geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income for 2014 may be impacted.

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 main 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 in 2013 was 18 (17).

The Parent Company's revenue mainly comes from franchise fees and other revenue from subsidiaries. The change in income after financial items is mainly explained by the writedown in 2012 of the book value of the shares in the UK subsidiary in the amount of SEK 468 million. The write-down was made to bring the carrying amounts in the Parent Company in line with the book value in the Group and for this 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 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 year-end 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 year-end 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 around 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 have been 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 2014

The Company is not providing any forecast information for 2014.

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information

(translation of the Swedish original)

Report of Review of year-end Financial Information prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act.

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013 for Loomis AB (publ.). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this year-end report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this year-end report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 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 year-end 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.
