Comments by the CEO

Strong organic growth continued in the USA and amounted to 14 percent for the quarter.

The first quarter of 2016 was a stable quarter for Loomis. Organic growth for the Group as a whole amounted to 5 percent (2) and our operating margin was 9.3 percent (9.0). In other words: another quarter of organic growth and margin improvement. Our strategic priorities and operational efficiency improvements continue to deliver positive results. During the quarter the USA in particular demonstrated strong development with record high organic growth and an improved operating margin.

Real growth in the USA amounted to 16 percent (4) and organic growth was once again very strong, amounting to 14 percent (4). Adjusted for lower fuel fees, which we pass on to customers, the organic growth was 15 percent. Implementation of the cash management (CMS) contracts with Bank of America, which was concluded before the end of 2015, continued to yield positive effects on growth during the quarter. We are still seeing a positive sales trend for SafePoint, with growth for the quarter exceeding 23 percent. In addition to CMS and SafePoint growth, we also grew our cash in transit (CIT) operations in the USA by increasing our market share. Events during the quarter included the signing of an important contract with the State Employees' Credit Union in North Carolina. We were chosen to deliver CIT services for their network of offices and ATMs. The annual contract value is just under SEK 75 million (USD 9 million). We believe that our investments in quality for all of our service offerings are the key to our success.

The operating margin in USA also continued to improve, amounting to 11.2 percent (10.3). Similar to previous quarters, the increased profitability came mainly from a higher proportion of CMS, continued strong growth for SafePoint and constant and ongoing efficiency improvement efforts.

In Segment Europe, organic growth amounted to 1 percent (0) and our operating margin improved to 10.1 percent (10.0). Development in Europe varies from country to country. We are very happy to see that growth in Spain is being sustained and it looks like the positive trend that began at the end of 2015 is being maintained. Turkey and Argentina are both showing organic growth exceeding 50 percent. These two countries are gradually increasing in significance for the Group. Volumes in the Nordic countries continue to decline and efficiency improvement

projects are in progress to compensate for the slightly falling volumes. Improvement measures are still being implemented in the UK. Some challenges remain in the UK, but it is gratifying to note that the initiatives implemented up to now have resulted in improved quality for our customers and an improved operating margin for the Company. It is our opinion that we have not yet seen the full effect of the measure implemented in the UK and we believe there is strong potential to improve our operating margin further in this, for us, important market.

The International Services segment experienced another quarter of weak demand. Volatility in the precious metals markets has been low, which has contributed to reduced interest in transporting precious metals between countries. In India – one of the world's biggest importers of gold and jewelry – the imported volumes of gold were affected by strikes among jewelers and gold traders. The strikes were a response to a decision by lawmakers to increase import taxes on gold and jewelry. The result for us is a temporary decline in our gold deliveries to India. The organic growth for the segment amounted to –9 percent. The lower volumes negatively affected the segment's operating margin, which amounted to 5.1 percent (6.0) for the quarter. International Services remains a prioritized business area and we have increased our investments on the Asian market. We have opened a new sales office in Singapore and we will soon launch operations in Shanghai, China.

It is a sign of strength that the Group is able to demonstrate good growth and sustained profitability improvement in both the USA and Europe. There were challenges in some European markets during the quarter, but I believe that our business model is helping us find many ways to increase our operating margin further through efficiency improvements. We are well on our way to reaching our 2017 targets.

Patrik Andersson will now take office as President and CEO of Loomis and I will return to focusing fully on my role as Regional President of Loomis in the USA. I look forward to working with Patrik on further advancing the Group's position.

January – March 2016

Revenue for the first quarter amounted to SEK 4,032 million compared to SEK 3,842 million for the corresponding period the previous year. The organic growth, which was 5 percent (2), is mainly attributable to the CMS contracts that were implemented incrementally in the USA in 2015, increased SafePoint revenue and increased sales in a number of European countries. Growth was negatively affected to some extent by lower revenue in the International Services segment. Real growth amounted to 7 percent (17) and includes revenue attributable to the acquisitions made in 2015 in the UK and USA.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 376 million (345) and the operating margin improved to 9.3 percent (9.0). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 40 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth in CMS and SafePoint in the USA, and by the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results in a number of countries.

The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 355 million (308), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –16 million (–14) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –5 million (–22). The acquisition-related costs in the first quarter of the previous year were significantly higher than this quarter and related mainly to restructuring costs within the Swiss transport and cash processing operations as a result of the acquisition of VIA MAT.

Income before tax of SEK 327 million (281) includes a net financial expense of SEK –28 million (–27).

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK –88 million (–76) which represents a tax rate of 27 percent (27).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 3.17 (2.73).

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe January – March 2016

Revenue for Segment Europe in the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,974 million (1,983) and organic growth was 1 percent (0). Several countries, primarily Turkey and Argentina, had positive growth. The positive development in Spain that began at the end of 2015 continued during the first quarter. Growth was partially offset by lower sales in the Nordic countries. The real growth, which amounted to 3 percent (6), includes revenue from the acquisition of Cardtronics' cash handling operations for retail customers in the UK implemented in 2015.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 199 million (198) and the operating margin was 10.1 percent (10.0). Ongoing efforts to improve efficiency continued and profitability improvement during the quarter was most evident in southern Europe. Furthermore, the initiatives taken in the UK to handle the increased volumes in 2015 have started to yield results both in terms of improved quality of services performed and an improved operating margin. The increased volumes were the result of the above-mentioned acquisition as well as the contract signed with Tesco in 2014. The lower volumes in the Nordic countries have, however, had a slightly negative effect on the operating margin.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA January – March 2016

Revenue for Segment USA for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,757 million (1,516). The organic growth was 14 percent (4) and is mainly explained by revenue relating to cash management contracts implemented incrementally in 2015, as well as increased revenue from SafePoint. Organic growth was also affected by revenue from the CIT contract signed with State Employees' Credit Union in North Carolina. The real growth of 16 percent (4) includes revenue from the acquisition in 2015 of the Global Logistics' operations from Dunbar Armored Inc. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, reduced the organic growth for the quarter by 1 percentage point, but did not significantly affect the operating income.

The operating income (EBITA) for the quarter was SEK 197 million (156) and the operating margin improved to 11.2 percent (10.3). The positive development is mainly explained by organic growth in combination with an increasing proportion of revenue coming from CMS and SafePoint, and the fact that the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency continue to yield results.

The proportion of revenue from CMS amounted to 33 percent (29) of the segment's total revenue.

Revenue and operating income – Segment International Services

January – March 2016

Revenue from Segment International Services for the quarter amounted to SEK 318 million (365). The organic growth of –9 percent (n/a) is explained by low volatility in the precious metals market, a factor contributing to reduced interest in transporting precious metals between countries. During the quarter, gold deliveries to India – one of the world's main importers of gold and jewelry – declined as a result of strikes among jewelers and gold traders. The strikes were a response to a decision by lawmakers to increase import taxes on gold and jewelry. Growth was also impacted by the low demand of transports to and from art exhibits.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 16 million (22) and the operating margin was 5.1 percent (6.0). Lower sales have had a negative effect on profitability.

Cash flow

January – March 2016

Cash flow from operating activities of SEK 96 million (295) was equivalent to 26 percent (85) of operating income (EBITA). Similar to previous years, the cash flow effect of the change in other working capital and other items was negative in the first quarter. Large payments for employee related expenses and insurances premiums etc. are normally made during this period. The cash flow effect of changes in working capital is normally positive during the latter part of the year.

Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK 217 million (184), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 271 million (259). Investments of SEK 101 million (74) were made during the period in vehicles, safety equipment and SafePoint. Furthermore, investments totaling SEK 66 million (76) were made in buildings, machinery and other equipment.

Capital employed

Capital employed amounted to SEK 10,186 million (10,268 as of December 31, 2015). Return on capital employed amounted to 17 percent (17 as of December 31, 2015).

Equity and financing

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 5,791 million (5,843 as of December 31, 2015). The return on shareholders' equity was 19 percent (18 as of December 31, 2015) and the equity ratio was 41 percent (41 as of December 31, 2015). Shareholders' equity was positively affected by net income for the period, but was also reduced due to a stronger SEK, which resulted in a lower value of the Group's net assets in foreign currencies.

Net debt amounted to SEK 4,395 million (4,425 as of December 31, 2015). The net debt/EBITDA ratio amounted to SEK 1.57 on March 31, 2016 (1.60 as of December 31, 2015). During the quarter, Loomis subsidiary in the USA has entered into a frame leasing agreement of USD 40 million for financing of SafePoints.

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 2016 Annual General Meeting regarding an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2016). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2015, 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 allotted to participants in the form of Class B shares at the beginning of 2018. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2018, 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 individual 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, it is proposed that Loomis AB will enter into a share swap agreement with a third party under which the third party will acquire the Loomis shares in its own name and transfer them to the Incentive Scheme participants. The Incentive Scheme will enable around 350 key individuals within the Loomis Group to become shareholders in Loomis AB over time. This will increase employee commitment to Loomis' development for the benefit of all shareholders.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for the rolling twelvemonth period was 21,830 (21,665 for the full year 2015). Acquisitions and appointments made as a result of contracts secured have increased the number of employees. 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 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 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 losses on investments.

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 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 2016 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income may be impacted during the remainder of 2016. Changes in general economic conditions can have various effects on the cash handling services market, such as the ratio of cash purchases to credit card purchases, changes in consumption levels, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses, and changes in staff turnover.

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 primary 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.
