Comments by the President and CEO

CMS growth in the USA continues and accounted for 31 percent of the segment's total revenue for the quarter.

Just under a year ago we presented Loomis' updated strategy emphasizing improving the operating margin and an increased focus on growth. Our target is revenue of SEK 17 billion by 2017 and an operating margin of 10–12 percent. A lot needs to be done in order to achieve our target, but we have taken several steps forward over the past quarter. One important step is the acquisition of Cardtronics UK's retail cash handling operations which will bring in annual revenue of around SEK 176 million. The acquisition is consolidated as of July 1. Cash Management Services (CMS) in the USA continues to grow and accounted for 31 percent of the segment's total revenue for the quarter.

Activities aimed at improving our operating margin continue to deliver positive results. The operating margin in Segment Europe increased by 0.4 percentage points and most countries are contributing to the improvement.

In the USA where our biggest priority is rolling out new CMS assignments, we achieved our highest ever quarterly result. The operating margin in the USA was, on the other hand, slightly lower than the margin we reported for the corresponding quarter in 2014 due to planned start-up costs for the new contracts. The start-up costs in the USA are mainly staff-related as significant costs were incurred for necessary training to ensure that we can deliver high-quality services to our customers. We are convinced that the investments we are now making will be an important factor in achieving further margin improvement in the USA.

SafePoint is also continuing to grow in the USA. During the quarter SafePoint revenue was around 25 percent higher than in the second quarter of 2014, and we have now a total of around 13,000 units installed in the USA. Revenue from Safe-Point is now equivalent to around 10 percent of our total revenue in the USA. We have now also started a gradual process of marketing SafePoint in Europe and our expectations for this market can currently be characterized as cautiously positive.

It is gratifying to see how efficient the integration of VIA MAT has been on the domestic Swiss market, where we are now seeing the synergy effects that are helping to raise our operating margin. Integration work within our new Segment International Services continues and during the quarter we completed the establishment of our first new international branch since the acquisition. The branch is adjacent to the airport in Louisville, USA, and will be a hub for the US market for air transport of cash and other valuables.

We are optimistic about the acquisition situation. We have a solid list of potential acquisitions and interesting discussions are under way. As always with this type of processes the timeline is uncertain, but I am convinced that we will fulfill our plan of achieving SEK 17 billion in revenue by 2017 through a somewhat even split between organic and acquired growth.

During the quarter we also won a large cash in transit (CIT) contract with a leading retailer in Turkey. The contract is expected to be fully rolled out in 2016 and involves 4,000 stores with annual revenue in excess of SEK 20 million.

A short while ago I announced that, after almost nine years with Loomis, I have decided to seek new challenges outside the Group. Loomis is a fantastic company that has enjoyed an incredible development and I am proud of what we have achieved. The Company's development is not only strong financial results but also includes the strong platform we have built based on the Loomis Model, which I am convinced will guarantee a strong development in the future as well. Occasionally opportunities arise that are difficult to turn down and this is one of those occasions. I feel that the Company now has many fundamentals in place, an exciting strategic plan and a positive development within the Group. It is therefore a good time for a new President and CEO to take over. I will remain in my position until August 31. Executive Vice President Lars Blecko will take over as acting CEO until a new President and CEO takes up the position.

In summary, this has been another strong quarter for Loomis and I am convinced that the Company has many exciting opportunities ahead for its customers, employees and shareholders.

April – June 2015

Revenue in the second quarter amounted to SEK 3,944 million (3,319). The organic growth which was 1 percent (4) is mainly attributable to the contracts that went into effect in the USA in the latter part of 2014 and beginning of 2015, increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint® and the contract that started in the UK in the fourth quarter of 2014. Real growth amounted to 6 percent (14) and includes revenue from the acquisition of VIA MAT completed in May 2014.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 397 million (333) and the operating margin was 10.1 percent (10.0). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was SEK 23 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth within Cash Management Services (CMS) in the USA, positive synergy effects from the acquisition of VIA MAT, as well as the continuous efforts to improve efficiency which continue to yield results.

The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 352 million (318), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –14 million (–13) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –30 million (–2). The acquisitionrelated costs for the period are primarily restructuring costs within the Swiss transport and cash processing operations as a result of the acquisition of VIA MAT in 2014.

Income before taxes of SEK 320 million (303) includes a net financial expense of SEK –32 million (–16). Higher indebtedness in combination with a weaker SEK development are the main reasons for the higher net financial expense.

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 84 million (81) which represents a tax rate of 26 percent (27).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 3.14 (2.95).

January – June 2015

Revenue in the first half of the year amounted to SEK 7,786 million (6,196) and organic growth was 2 percent (4). Increased SafePoint revenue in the USA, new contracts in the USA which started during the latter part of 2014 and beginning of 2015 as well as the Tesco contract in the UK which started in the fourth quarter 2014, are the main explanations for the organic growth. Real growth amounted to 11 percent (9) and includes revenue from the acquisition of VIA MAT completed in May 2014.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 741 million (575) and the operating margin was 9.5 percent (9.3). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was SEK 81 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth within Cash Management Services (CMS) in the USA, positive synergy effects from the acquisition of VIA MAT, as well as the continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results.

The operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 660 million (542), which includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of SEK –28 million (–20) and acquisitionrelated costs of SEK –53 million (–14). The acquisition-related costs for the period are primarily restructuring and integration costs incurred within the Swiss transport and cash processing operations as a result of the acquisition of VIA MAT in 2014.

Income before taxes of SEK 601 million (513) includes a net financial expense of SEK –59 million (–29). An increased debt level resulting from the acquisition of VIA MAT and a weak SEK development are the main explanations for the increase in net financial expense.

The tax expense for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 160 million (140), representing a tax rate of 27 percent (27).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 5.87 (4.95).

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe

April – June 2015

Revenue for Segment Europe for the second quarter amounted to SEK 2,058 million (1,913). The contract secured with Tesco in the UK in 2014 had a positive effect on revenue, while lower revenue in the Nordic region resulted in 1 percent (2) organic growth for the segment as a whole. The real growth of 3 percent (6) is mainly explained by the acquisition of the transport and cash processing operations from VIA MAT in 2014.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 251 million (226) and the operating margin was 12.2 percent (11.8). Synergy effects resulting from the Swiss transport and cash processing operations acquired from VIA MAT and the continuous efforts to improve efficiency are the primary reasons for the income improvement.

January – June 2015

Revenue for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 4,040 million compared to SEK 3,666 million for the corresponding period the previous year. Organic growth for the Segment was 1 percent (2). A strong organic growth in the UK, due to the Tesco contract secured in 2014, was partially offset by decreased revenue in the Nordic region. Real growth of 4 percent (5) for the first half of 2015 includes the acquisition of VIA MAT's transport and cash processing operations, while the corresponding period the previous year only includes revenue from the acquisition, i.e. from May 5, 2014.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 448 million (386) and the operating margin improved to 11.1 percent (10.5). The improvement is explained by the positive earnings growth for several of Loomis' operations, due to the fact that continuous, group-wide efficiency improvement efforts continue to yield results. The synergy effects realized within the Swiss transport and cash processing operations as a result of the acquisition of VIA MAT and positive development of cost of risk are other explanations for the increased profitability.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA April – June 2015

Revenue in the USA amounted to SEK 1,566 million (1,194) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 5 percent (8 and 8 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by revenue from the CMS contracts signed in 2014 and increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint®. Changes in fuel surcharges, which Loomis passes on to its customers, reduced the organic growth for the quarter by 2 percentage points, but did not significantly affect the operating income.

The operating income for the quarter (EBITA) amounting to SEK 160 million (125) was positively effected by the continuing increase in the proportion of CMS and by the fact that the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency continue to yield results. Start-up costs for new contracts negatively impacted the quarter's earnings and resulted in an operating margin of 10.2 percent (10.4). The proportion of revenue from CMS for the quarter amounted to 31 percent (29) of the segment's total revenue.

January – June 2015

Revenue in the USA amounted to SEK 3,082 million (2,318). Both real growth and organic growth amounted to 4 percent (7 and 7 respectively). Revenue relating to the CMS contract signed in 2014 and increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint® are the main explanations for the positive development. Changes in fuel surcharges, which Loomis passes on to its customers, reduced the organic growth for the period by 2 percentage points, but did not significantly affect the operating income.

The operating income (EBITA) was SEK 317 million (232) and the operating margin improved to 10.3 percent (10.0). 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 are still yielding results. The proportion of revenue from CMS for the first half of the year amounted to 30 percent (28) of the segment's total revenue.

1) International Services is a segment which was launched in connection with Loomis' acquisition of VIA MAT Holding AG. The acquisition was consolidated as of May 5, 2014. In the past Loomis only had very limited operations in this area and they were included in Segment Europe, but as of May 5, 2014, these operations are under segment International Services. Because these operations were extremely limited in the past, the comparative figures have not been adjusted.

Revenue and operating income – Segment International Services

April – June 2015

International Services consists of three different business areas: cross-border transportation of cash and precious metals, storage of valuables, and general logistics solutions.

Revenue from International Services for the quarter amounted to SEK 340 million, compared to SEK 224 million for the period May – June 2014.

Revenue from cross-border transportation of cash and precious metals and storage of valuables met expectations. Revenue from general logistics solutions was lower than the corresponding period the previous year. The strengthening of the CHF has had a negative impact on the Swiss export industry and the demand for general logistics solutions has therefore fallen slightly.

The operating income (EBITA) for the period was SEK 16 million (14) and the operating margin was 4.7 percent (6.1).

January – June 2015

Revenue from International Services for the first half of 2015 amounted to SEK 705 million, compared to SEK 224 million for the period May – June 2014. The large revenue increase is mainly explained by the consolidation of the VIA MAT acquisition as of May 5, 2014. Weaker demand for general logistics solutions was noted during the period as a stronger CHF has had a negative impact on the Swish export industry.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 38 million and the operating margin was 5.4 percent.

Cash flow

April – June 2015

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 206 million (387), equivalent to 52 percent (116) of operating income (EBITA). A marginal increase in the number of DSO from the previous quarter and higher investments are the main reasons for the lower cash flow.

Net investments in fixed assets during the quarter amounted to SEK 383 million (207), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 266 million (217). The increased net investments are, among other things, related to investments in the USA to handle the volumes from the new CMS contracts.

Investments of SEK 238 million (121) were made during the period in vehicles, safety equipment and Loomis SafePoint®. In addition, investments totaling SEK 104 million (61) were made in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.

Cash flow for the period includes a dividend to shareholders of SEK 451 million (376).

January – June 2015

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 501 million (398), equivalent to 68 percent (69) of operating income (EBITA).

The effect on cash flow of the change in other operating capital and other items was negative in the first half of the year. This item is subject to seasonal variations and, over the past few years, the effects on cash flow of changes in working capital during the latter part of the year have been positive.

Net investments in fixed assets during the period amounted to SEK 567 million (357), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 524 million (418). Investments in the USA to handle the new CMS contracts explain part of the increase in net investments.

Investments of SEK 313 million (205) were made during the period in vehicles, safety equipment and Loomis SafePoint®. In addition, investments totaling SEK 180 million (104) were made in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.

During the period SEK 451 million (376) in dividends was paid out to shareholders.

Capital employed amounted to SEK 9,965 million (9,127 as of December 31, 2014). Return on capital employed amounted to 15 percent (15 as of December 31, 2014).

Shareholders' equity and financing

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 5,154 million (4,907 as of December 31, 2014). The return on shareholders' equity was 19 percent (19 as of December 31, 2014) and the equity ratio was 36 percent (38 as of December 31, 2014). Shareholders' equity was affected by net income of SEK 236 million, but also by the weaker SEK development as the Group's net assets in foreign currencies increased in value.

Net debt amounted to SEK 4,811 million (4,219 as of December 31, 2014). The main explanations for the increased net debt are the dividend paid to shareholders of SEK 451 million and the weaker SEK development, particularly compared to USD, GBP and CHF. The net debt/EBITDA ratio amounted to SEK 1.91 as at June 30, 2015 (1.88 as of December 31, 2014).

Acquisitions January – June 2015

On March 3, 2015, Loomis' Slovak subsidiary Loomis Slovensko s.r.o. acquired the cash handling assets and customer contracts from the Slovak company ABAS CIT Management s.r.o. The acquired operations have annual revenue of around SEK 22 million. In connection with this acquisition, Loomis took over 107 employees, 50 CIT vehicles and customers in both the banking and retail sectors. The acquisition has strengthened Loomis' leading position in the Slovak market.

On March 19, 2015 Loomis' Czech subsidiary, Loomis Czech Republic a.s., acquired cash handling assets and customer contracts from the Czech company Ceská Pošta Security, s.r.o. In connection with this acquisition, Loomis took over external customers in both the banking and retail sectors. Ceská Pošta Security, s.r.o. will, however, continue to handle cash management services for the Czech Post (Ceská Pošta). The acquired operations have annual sales of around SEK 5 million.

In May 2015, it was announced that Loomis subsidiary in the UK had reached an agreement to acquire the retail cash handling operations from Cardtronics UK. The purchase price amounts to GBP 18.2 million, equivalent to around SEK 237 million, and includes fixed assets of GBP 3.7 million. The acquisition provides Loomis with retail customers and Loomis will take over most of the employees and vehicles, while Cardtronics will retain some employees and vehicles to support its ongoing ATM replenishment business. The annual revenue is expected to be around GBP 13.5 million, equivalent to SEK 176 million. The acquisition is expected to have a limited negative impact, due to start-up costs, on Loomis' earnings per share for the 2015 financial year. The operations were taken over on July 1 and will be consolidated into Loomis as of the same date. A preliminary acquisition analysis will be presented in the interim report for January-September 2015.

Significant events and number of full-time employees

Significant events during the period

The Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2015 voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an Incentive Scheme (Incentive Scheme 2015).

Like previous Incentive Schemes, Incentive Scheme 2015 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 used by Loomis AB to acquire treasury shares which will be allotted to the employees at the beginning of 2017. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2017, 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 measurement and other general principles that already apply to existing Incentive Schemes will still apply. Loomis AB will not issue any new shares or similar instruments in connection with this Incentive Scheme. To enable Loomis to allot these shares, the AGM voted in favor of Loomis AB entering 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 350 key individuals within the Group to become shareholders in Loomis AB over time, which will increase employee commitment to Loomis' development for the benefit of all shareholders.

In June Loomis AB signed a new a multi-currency revolving credit facility. The new facility has a five year maturity with an option to extend for an additional two years and amounts to

USD 150 million, SEK 1,000 million and EUR 65 million. The new facility has been used to replace the credit facility of USD 150 million and SEK 1,000 million which would otherwise have matured at the beginning of 2016. It will also be used to replace the bond loan of EUR 65 million which matures in 2015.

In June Jarl Dahlfors, President and CEO of Loomis AB, announced that he had decided to retire from his position at Loomis. A recruitment process to appoint a new CEO has begun. Jarl Dahlfors will stay on until August 31 when Executive Vice President Lars Blecko will take over as acting CEO until a new president and CEO takes up the position.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for the rolling twelve-month period was 21,109 (20,536 for the full year 2014). The acquisition of VIA MAT in 2014 as well as recruitments as a result of contracts secured have increased the number of employees, while 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 could result in negative consequences if 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 so 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 it 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 associated with these instruments are primarily:

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

Factors of uncertainty

The economic trend in the first half of 2015 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that Loomis' revenue and income may be impacted during the remainder of 2015.

Changes in general economic conditions can have various effects on the cash handling services market, 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.

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 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. in November and December.
