Comments by the President and CEO

We achieved our financial targets for 2014 and the key to this success is that we work systematically according to the business model we call the Loomis Model.

Targets reached and the next phase begins

As I summarize 2014 I am proud to present a result which reached the targets we set in 2010. Our ambition when we set those targets was to achieve an operating margin on a full-year basis of 10 percent no later than 2014, excluding acquisitions. For the full year 2014 we achieved an operating margin of 10.1 percent (9.7) including the acquisition of VIA MAT. It is gratifying to realize that we achieved our margin target even when we include the acquisition of VIA MAT.

The key to this success is that we work systematically according to the business model we call the Loomis Model. The Loomis Model is based on extensive, decentralized decisionmaking involving substantial local responsibility for profitability and for the business in general. We set clear, reasonable and measurable targets for each branch and the development is followed up on a monthly basis. We motivate and reward our employees when they reach their targets. An important component in the Loomis Model is the branches learning from each other, but also being compared with each other. Benchmarking is made between branches in a country as well as across borders between branches operating under similar conditions. In order to enhance and ensure the operational quality and to reduce the Group's risks and achieve greater efficiency, the local responsibility is complemented by centralized processes and guidelines within risk, finance and human resources.

In September 2014 we held a Capital Markets Day at which we presented our new financial targets. In summary, the new targets involve an increased focus on growth, but also a strong ambition to continue to improve our operating margin applying the Loomis Model. I am optimistic that the growing outsourcing trend in cash management services (CMS) in the USA and the expansion of our Loomis SafePoint® concept, primarily in the USA, will help us grow and improve our profitability. There are also numerous business opportunities for our new segment, International Services, and we are hopeful that Loomis will be able to make acquisitions in both existing markets and new regions.

Growth and operating income during the quarter

Real growth for the fourth quarter 2014 amounted to 18 percent (3) and organic growth to 2 percent (3). The Group's operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 389 million (295) and the operating margin was 10.5 percent (10.1).

In Europe real growth in the quarter amounted to 6 percent (3) and organic growth to 0 percent (3). The real growth is largely

attributable to the integration of VIA MAT's Swiss transport and cash processing operations, but also to the implementation of the Tesco contract in the UK. The Tesco contract was signed at the beginning of the fourth quarter and is the single largest new contract since Loomis was listed on the stock exchange in 2008. The annual revenue from the contract is expected to exceed SEK 230 million and the contract is expected to be fully implemented in the second quarter this year. The operating income (EBITA) in Europe amounted to SEK 264 million (219) and the operating margin was 13.1 percent (12.0). Efficiency improvements in the UK is continuing to yield results. We have also identified good synergy effects in Switzerland following the acquisition of VIA MAT.

In the USA real growth amounted to 6 percent (2) and organic growth to 6 percent (2). Continued implementation of new contracts and sustained strong growth for SafePoint are the main explanations for the growth. The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 133 million (107) and the operating margin was 9.8 percent (9.8). Efficiency improvements continue to be made at the branches in the USA and are yielding results. However, during the quarter costs were incurred for preparations to handle larger volumes in the future as a result of the implementation of the Bank of America contract. The contract, announced in the second quarter of 2014, is expected to be fully implemented by the end of 2015.

Our new segment, International Services, enjoyed good growth during the quarter with an increased demand for international transportation of cash and precious metals, compared to the demand in the third quarter. Revenue in the segment amounted to SEK 364 million, which can be compared with SEK 330 million for the third quarter of 2014. The operating income (EBITA) showed the same positive trend, amounting to SEK 35 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an improvement from SEK 19 million from the third quarter of 2014. The operating margin also improved in the fourth quarter, amounting to 9.5 percent, which can be compared with 5.8 percent in the third quarter 2014. Integration work is progressing according to plan and we are expecting to be able to add additional value-generating services for our customers around the world.

All of our three segments delivered a strong result during the quarter. Today, we have a stable foundation as we forge ahead towards our new targets and an even more successful Loomis.

October – December 2014

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,714 million compared to SEK 2,928 million for the corresponding period the previous year. The organic growth of 2 percent (3) is mainly explained by the contracts that went into effect in the USA in the latter part of 2014 and increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint®, but also to some extent by the Tesco contract in the UK. The real growth of 18 percent (3) includes revenue attributable to the 2014 acquisition of VIA MAT and to some extent the acquisition that took place in Slovakia in December 2013.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 389 million (295) and the operating margin was 10.5 percent (10.1). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was SEK 66 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by the continuous efforts to improve efficiency which continue to yield results, but also to positive synergy effects from the acquisition of VIA MAT. Most countries contributed through improved operating income, but margins improved in particular in the UK and Norway.

The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 380 million (286), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –13 million (–7) and acquisition-related revenue of SEK 4 million (–2). The increased amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is mainly attributable to the acquisition of VIA MAT.

Income before taxes of SEK 361 million (274) includes a net financial expense of SEK –19 million (–12).

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 102 million (77), which represents a tax rate of 28 percent (28).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 3.45 (2.62).

January – December 2014

Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 13,510 million (11,364). The organic growth, which was 3 percent (2), is mainly attributable to the contracts that went into effect in Europe and the USA in the latter part of 2013 and in 2014. The growth is mainly attributable to the contracts with DNB in Norway, Bank of America in the USA and Tesco in the UK. The real growth of 14 percent (2) includes revenue attributable to the acquisition of VIA MAT and the acquisition in Slovakia in 2013.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,370 million (1,099). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was SEK 212 million. An increased percentage of revenue from cash management services (CMS), organic growth and the fact that the continuous group-wide efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency are continuing to yield results, are the main explanations for the improvement in the operating margin to 10.1 percent (9.7).

The operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 1,306 million (1,085) and includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of SEK –46 million (–28) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –19 million (–28). The increased amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is, like the acquisitionrelated costs, mainly attributable to the acquisition of VIA MAT. The acquisition-related net revenue reported in the corresponding period the previous year included a repayment installment of SEK 41 million of the purchase consideration for Pendum's cash handling operations which were acquired in 2011.

Income before taxes of SEK 1,240 million (1,038) includes a net financial expense of SEK –66 million (–47).

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 330 million (302), which represents a tax rate of 27 percent (29).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 12.10 (9.78).

In the past, Loomis has only had very limited operations in this area, which were included in the European segment, but as of May 5, 2014 these operations are included in segment International Services.

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

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe October – December 2014

Revenue for the European segment for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 2,017 million (1,831). The organic growth was 0 percent (3). The cash handling operations acquired in May 2014 from VIA MAT and the acquisition in December 2013 in Slovakia both contributed to the real growth which amounted to 6 percent (3). The Tesco contract in the UK contributed to the higher revenue towards the end of the year.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 264 million (219) and the operating margin was 13.1 percent (12.0). The positive income growth is mainly explained by efficiency improvements in the UK, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Synergy effects resulting from the Swiss cash handling operations acquired from VIA MAT contributed to the income improvement during the quarter.

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe January – December 2014

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 7,706 million compared to SEK 7,005 million for the full year 2013. Increased revenue due to the contract with DNB in Norway is the main explanation for the organic growth of 2 percent (2). The real growth, which amounted to 6 percent (2), includes revenue from the acquisition in Slovakia in December 2013 and revenue from the Swiss cash handling operations within VIA MAT.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 944 million (794) and the operating margin was 12.3 percent (11.3). The improvement is explained by the positive earnings growth for several of the European operations, including the UK, due to the fact that the continuous, group-wide efficiency improvement efforts continue to yield results. Furthermore, the profitability of the Norwegian operations has been improved by economies of scale arising as a result of the increased volumes from the DNB contract.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA October – December 2014

Revenue in the USA amounted to SEK 1,349 million (1,097) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 6 percent (2). The growth is primarily explained by revenue relating to the CMS contracts signed in 2014 and increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint®.

The operating income (EBITA) for the quarter was SEK 133 million (107) and the operating margin amounted to 9.8 percent (9.8). The operating income was improved by a continuing increase in the proportion of revenue from CMS, increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint® and the continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results. Costs for preparations for handling larger volumes relating to new contracts had a negative impact on income for the quarter.

The proportion of revenue from CMS for the quarter amounted to 29 percent (28) of the segment's total revenue.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA January – December 2014

Revenue for the year amounted to SEK 4,933 million (4,359). Both real growth and organic growth amounted to 7 percent (2). The growth is mainly explained by a combination of revenue from the CMS contracts that went into effect in the second half of 2013 and in 2014, and increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint®.

Operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 488 million compared to SEK 414 million for the full year 2013. The previous year's operating income included a positive non-recurring item of SEK 25 million. The operating margin was 9.9 percent (9.5). The operating income for the period was positively affected by a continuing increase in the proportion of revenue from CMS, increased revenue from Loomis SafePoint® and the continuous efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency, which continue to yield results. CMS revenue accounted for 29 percent (27) of the segment's total revenue.

5) The acquisition analysis is subject to final adjustment no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Acquisitions January – December 2014

On May 5, 2014 Loomis acquired all of the shares in the Swiss group VIA MAT Holding AG ("VIA MAT"). The acquisition enables Loomis to expand its service offering beyond the existing service lines, Cash in Transit and Cash Management Services, to include International Services. 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 allows Loomis to expand its operations to include a number of new geographies and provides the company's existing operations with new growth opportunities.

Significant events and number of full-time employees

Significant events during the period

In May 2014 Loomis AB signed a five-year loan agreement, a Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility, of USD 100 million. The loan has been used to refinance an existing loan facility.

On May 5, 2014 Loomis acquired all of the shares in the Swiss group VIA MAT Holding AG ("VIA MAT"). The acquisition enables Loomis to expand its service offering beyond the existing service lines, Cash In Transit and Cash Management Services, to include International Services. 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 allows Loomis to expand its operations to include a number of new geographies and provids the company's existing operations with new growth opportunities. The acquisition, which is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2014, was primarily financed by bridge loan with a maximum maturity of 18 months. In connection with the acquisition, Urs Röösli was appointed head of International Services. Urs Röösli became a member of Loomis' Group management team on August 1, 2014.

At the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2014 Jarl Dahlfors was elected as a new board member. The 2014 Annual General Meeting also voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2014). Similar to previous incentive schemes, Incentive Scheme 2014 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 in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB which will be allotted 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 in connection with this incentive scheme. 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. 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.

In June 2014 it was announced that Loomis' US subsidiary had entered into an agreement with Bank of America to take over the bank's cash processing services at approximately 30 locations in the USA. The assignment involves Loomis managing a portion of the bank's notes and coins at existing Loomis branches. The contract started in the third quarter of 2014 and is expected to be fully integrated by the end of

  1. Once fully integrated, the new contract is expected to generate annual revenue of approximately USD 20 million. Revenue from CMS will then account for around one third of Loomis total revenue in the USA. The contract is the single largest CMS contract that Loomis has signed in the USA.

In September 2014 Loomis published its new financial targets. The new targets for 2014 – 2017 are:

  • Revenue of SEK 17 billion by 2017
  • Operating margin of 10–12 percent
  • Net debt/EBITDA max 3.0
  • Dividend of 40–60 percent of net income.

In October it was announced that Loomis' subsidiary in the UK had signed a contract with Tesco. Under the contract Loomis will provide replenishment and maintenance services for all of Tesco's 3,700 ATMs throughout the UK. The assignment, which began immediately, is expected to be fully rolled out by the second quarter of 2015. Once fully rolled out the annual revenue is expected to exceed GBP 20 million, corresponding to approximately SEK 230 million. The maintenance services will be performed by a technical service partner. The contract is the single largest new contract that Loomis has signed since the company was listed on the stock exchange in 2008.

In December it was announced that Loomis expands the Group management team with Mårten Lundberg, HR Director.

In December it was announced that Loomis had issued bonds worth SEK 1 billion and signed a loan agreement for CHF 90 million with Nordic Investment Bank. The funds were used to refinance the bridge loan raised in conjunction with Loomis' acquisition of VIA MAT in Switzerland in May 2014. The bond issue of SEK 1 billion was oversubscribed and was executed within the framework of a recently established MTN program. The program enables Loomis to issue bonds in the Swedish market up to a total amount of SEK 3 billion. The bonds have a maturity of 5 years, maturing on December 18, 2019, and are split into two tranches, one of SEK 250 million with fixed coupon rate of 1.875 percent and one of SEK 750 million with a floating interest rate of 3 months STIBOR plus 125 basis points. The bonds are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The loan agreement with Nordic Investment Bank of CHF 90 million has a maturity of eight years and matures on December 16, 2022. The loan has a four-year amortization exemption and will thereafter be amortized on a linear basis.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees in 2014 was 20,536 (19,442). The acquisitions made in 2013 and 2014 as well as employment of individuals due to the contracts secured have increased the number of employees. The costsaving programs have mainly 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 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 it does not engage in operations other than the conventional control of subsidiaries and the management of certain Group matters.

The main 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 risks associated with financial instruments, such as liquid funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans. The risks related to these instruments are primarily:

  • Interest rate risk associated with liquid funds and loans
  • Exchange rate risks 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 2014 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income for 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

Loomis 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.

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 2014 was 22 (18).

The Parent Company's fixed assets consist mainly of shares in subsidiaries and loan receivables from subsidiaries. The liabilities are mainly external liabilities and loan liabilities to subsidiaries. The change in the balance sheet total is mainly attributable to the acquisition of VIA MAT.

The Parent Company's revenue mainly comes from franchise fees and other revenue from subsidiaries.

Other significant events

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 54 and 85 of the 2013 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 interim 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 47–53 of the 2013 Annual Report. As a consequence of the acquisition of VIA MAT, the following also applies.

Operating segments are reported in accordance with internal Loomis reporting, where reports are submitted to the President and CEO, who has been identified as the most senior executive decision-maker within Loomis. Due to the acquisition of VIA MAT, Loomis has the following segments as of Q2 2014: Europe*, USA, International Services and Other. The regional presidents of Europe, USA and International Services are responsible for following up the segments' operating income before amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and items affecting comparability (EBITA), according to the manner in which Loomis reports its consolidated state-ment of income. This then forms the basis for how the President and CEO monitors development, allocates resources etc. Loomis has therefore chosen this structure for its segment reporting. Cash handling services (Cash in Transit and Cash Management Services) are split between the segments Europe and USA. The split is based on the similarities between European countries in important areas relating to, for example, market conditions, political circumstances, laws and regulations that affect Loomis. Operations in the USA are affected to a significant degree by other market conditions and political circumstances, as well as by laws and regulations impacting Loomis' operations, even if the services provided can be considered similar to those provided in segment Europe. International Services is not included in the operating segments Europe and the USA, nor is it based on that geographi-

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

cal split, but is instead reported as a separate segment. This is because International Services operations differ from the other segments as it includes cross-border transportation of cash and precious metals, storage of valuables and general logistic solutions, as well as the fact that the President and CEO monitors the segments' financial performance and allocates resources.

Loomis has in the past had very limited operations of a similar nature to international services. These operations have historically been included in segment Europe, but from May 5, 2014 they are included in the International Services segment. Comparatives have not been restated for the segments due to the limited extent of international services provided prior to the VIA MAT acquisition.

Segment Other consists of the head office and the Parent Company, the risk management function and other functions managed at Group level and which are related to the Group as a whole.

Within the international logistics business (valuables and general cargo) several operations and revenue streams exist with which Loomis has not historically been involved. The international logistics business involves so-called pass-through transactions. A pass-through transaction is a transaction conducted on behalf of a customer or another third party. This is common practice in international logistics. The consignee has to pay import taxes (VAT and duties) for the imported goods. Orders from Loomis' foreign customers usually include obtaining customs clearance and the declaration of custom duties and other applicable taxes. Loomis executes these transactions on behalf of the customers but the transactions do not generate any economic benefits for Loomis. The payment of import taxes by Loomis on behalf of customers is therefore regarded as a pass-through transaction. Custom duties and other applicable taxes as well as charges passed on to the customers are therefore accounted for in the balance sheet only and do not affect the statement of income. If a mark-up is charged to the customer for handling customer clearance and import taxes, this fee is recognized as revenue.

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 91 of the 2013 Annual Report.

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information

(Translation of the Swedish original)

Introduction

We have reviewed this report of Loomis AB (publ.) for the period 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 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 International 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.
