Comments by the President and CEO

Sales of Loomis SafePoint® are developing in line with our expectations and in the first quarter our achievements included signing a contract with a clothing chain. This is an exciting new customer segment for us.

Loomis started the year well and I am happy to report that we have had yet another quarter of continuous improvements. Our constant focus on efficiency improvements by consistently working according to the Loomis Model is the main reason we were able to improve both our revenue and operating margin during the quarter.

There are four main areas that we strategically prioritize to achieve our growth targets. We are focusing on increasing the proportion of cash management services (CMS), accelerating sales of Loomis SafePoint®, implementing Loomis International's offering in all of our markets, and ramping up our acquisition activities.

The main growth component during the quarter relates to the acquisition of VIA MAT, but new CMS contracts in the USA and the Tesco contract in the UK are also making a positive contribution. SafePoint continues to grow, the integration of VIA MAT is progressing according to plan and we are still optimistic about acquisition opportunities.

In Segment Europe, I would in particular like to highlight the profitability improvement in southern Europe and the Nordic region. The improvement is mainly due to realized synergies in the domestic operations in Switzerland as a result of the VIA MAT acquisition, but we have also had a lower cost of risk, especially in Sweden, compared to the first quarter 2014.

Growth in the USA was strong during the quarter and the operating margin improved as well. In the USA we are continuing to win CMS contracts with regional banks and we also have a good dialogue with big nationwide banks. What is

particularly gratifying is the positive feedback we are getting from our customers. This makes us more convinced that the CMS outsourcing trend will continue. Sales of SafePoint are developing in line with our expectations and in the first quarter our achievements included signing a contract with a clothing chain. This is an exciting new customer segment for us. We will be installing around 500 new SafePoints on behalf of this customer during the year. In the third quarter we will launch a new version of SafePoint with upgraded functionality in order to make it even more user-friendly. SafePoint grew by around 25 percent during the first quarter and accounts now for around 10 percent of the revenue in the USA.

The VIA MAT integration is progressing, the first phase of the internal marketing of the supplementary international services offering is complete and new business is already being generated. Although the International Services operating margin is lowering the average margin for the Group at this time, we still believe that the margin for segment International Services will improve over time.

All in all we have had a strong quarter in line with our expectations. We are on our way towards the new financial targets for 2017, which we communicated last year. We are continuing to prioritize measures to improve profitability through the Loomis Model while also increasing our focus on growth.

January – March 2015

Revenue in the first quarter amounted to SEK 3,842 million (2,877). The organic growth which was 2 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 17 percent (4) and includes revenue from the acquisition of VIA MAT completed in May 2014.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 345 million (242) and the operating margin was 9.0 percent (8.4). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was SEK 57 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth within Cash Management Services (CMS), 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 308 million (223), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –14 million (–7) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –22 million (–12). 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 281 million (210) includes a net financial expense of SEK –27 million (–13). An increased debt level resulting from the acquisition of VIA MAT is the main explanation for the increase in net financial expense.

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 76 million (59) which represents a tax rate of 27 percent (28).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 2.73 (2.00).

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe January – March 2015

Revenue for the European segment for the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,983 million (1,753). The contract secured with Tesco in the UK in 2014 had a positive effect on revenue, while lower sales in the Nordic region resulted in 0 percent (3) organic growth for the segment as a whole. The real growth of 6 percent (4) 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 198 million (160) and the operating margin was 10.0 percent (9.1). Synergy effects resulting from the Swiss transport and cash processing operations acquired from VIA MAT, favorable development of cost of risk in Sweden and the continuous efforts to improve efficiency are the primary reasons for the income improvement.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA January – March 2015

Revenue in the USA amounted to SEK 1,516 million (1,124) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 4 percent (5 and 5 respectively). The growth is mainly explained by revenue from the CMS contract 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 do not significantly affect the operating income.

The operating income (EBITA) for the quarter was SEK 156 million (108) and the operating margin amounted to 10.3 percent (9.6). 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 quarter amounted to 29 percent (27) of the segment's total revenue.

Loomis has only had extremely limited operations in this area, which were included in the European segment, but from May 5, 2014, these operations are included in the International Services segment. Comparatives have not been restated for the segment due to the extremely limited extent of these operations in the past.

Revenue and operating income – Segment International Services

January – March 2015

Revenue from International Services for the quarter amounted to SEK 365 million. Operating income (EBITA) for the period was SEK 22 million and the operating margin amounted to 6.0 percent. In the same way as for Loomis' traditional transport and cash management services, International Services also experiences seasonal variations. Historically an increased demand is noticed during the second half of the year compared to the first six months.

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

Cash flow

January – March 2015

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 295 million (11), equivalent to 85 percent (5) of operating income (EBITA). The improved cash flow is mainly explained by an increase in earnings, but also by less negative changes in working capital.

Like the previous year, the cash flow effect of the change in other working capital 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 working capital during the latter part of the year have been positive.

Net investments in fixed assets during the period amounted to SEK 184 million (150), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 259 million (201). Investments totaling SEK 74 million (85) were made in vehicles, security equipment and Loomis SafePoint® during the quarter. In addition, investments totaling SEK 76 million (43) were made in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.

Capital employed amounted to SEK 10,087 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 5,485 million (4,907 as of December 31, 2014). The return on shareholders' equity was 18 percent (19 as of December 31, 2014) and the equity ratio was 39 percent (38 as of December 31, 2014). Shareholders' equity was affected by net income of SEK 205 million, but also by a weaker SEK resulted in the Group's net assets in foreign currencies increased in value.

Net debt amounted to SEK 4,602 million (4,219 as of December 31, 2014). The main explanation for the increased net debt is the weaker SEK, particularly compared to USD, GBP and CHF. Net debt/EBITDA amounted to SEK 1.91 on March 31, 2015 (1.88 as of December 31, 2014).

Acquisitions in January–March 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 acquistion 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 revenue of around SEK 5 million.

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 2015 Annual General Meeting regarding an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2015). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2014, the proposed incentive scheme will involve two thirds of the variable remuneration being paid out in cash in the year after it is earned. The remaining one third will be in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB which will be allotted to the participants 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 as a result of this Incentive Scheme. To enable Loomis to allot these shares, it is proposed that Loomis AB 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 enables around 350 of Loomis' key employees to become shareholders in Loomis AB over time and will thereby increase employee participation in Loomis' development, which will benefit all of the shareholders.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for the rolling twelve-month period was 20,909 (20,536 for the full year 2014). The acquisition of VIA MAT in 2014 as well as the appointments made as a result of contracts secured have increased the number of employees, while the ongoing costsaving 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 may 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 to these instruments are primarily:

  • Interest rate risks 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 associated with short-term solvency
  • Credit risk attributable to financial and commercial activities
  • Capital risk attributable to the capital structure

• Price risk associated with changes in raw material prices (primarily fuel)

Factors of uncertainty

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

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 2015 are risks associated with 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. in November and December.
