Comments by the CEO
Organic growth in the USA amounted to 10 percent, the highest organic growth for a single quarter since the listing on the stock exchange in 2008.
For the fourth quarter of 2015 we reported further profitability improvement at the same time as we had strong growth with the development in the USA being particularly gratifying. Investments made in cash management services (CMS) on the US market, which is important for us, have been successful and the proportion of revenue from CMS in relation to total revenue continues to increase. The Group's organic growth for the quarter amounted to 3 percent (2) and the operating margin improved to 11.6 percent (10.5). I can also state that the Group's organic growth for the full year 2015 was 2 percent and that we reached an operating margin of 10.6 percent (10.1). The group-wide efforts to improve quality and efficiency continued to yield good financial results. The outcome for the year is entirely in line with the long-term growth and margin targets communicated in September 2014.
The strongest organic growth during the quarter was in the USA where it amounted to 10 percent (6). This is the highest organic growth in the USA for a single quarter since the listing on the stock exchange in 2008. Adjusted for lower fuel fees, which we pass on to customers, the organic growth was 12 percent. One of the most important explanations for the growth is the increased CMS volumes. During the quarter we were at the final stage of the implementation of the CMS contract with Bank of America signed in mid-2014. Another important factor explaining our growth is our SafePoint concept which grew by more than 20 percent during the quarter. Many of our new SafePoint contracts are rolled out on an ongoing basis and I would in particular like to mention the nationwide contract with Jack in the Box which was signed in the fourth quarter. The contract will be fully implemented before summer 2016. During the year we launched the updated version, the Titan, which combined with an increased focus on sales activities, is the main explanation for SafePoint's good growth. Furthermore, the acquisition of the Global Logistics operations from Dunbar Armored Inc., which was executed during the quarter, also opens up new opportunities for us, mainly in domestic transportation and storage of precious metals and other valuables.
It is of course extra gratifying that while achieving strong growth in the USA, we have also managed to improve this segment's operating margin to 11.7 percent (9.8). Apart from the increased proportion of revenue from CMS and SafePoint, profitability has improved as a result of a continuous focus on cost control and improving efficiency in the implementation of new contracts.
The organic growth for the quarter in Europe amounted to 1 percent (0). Growth was strong in Turkey and Argentina, but Spain and the UK are also contributing. We are particularly pleased that Spain is showing positive organic growth again. In the
Nordic region organic growth is still negative, which partly offset the overall organic growth. Turkey, which is an exciting and relatively new market for Loomis, is still developing well. We secured several nationwide contracts with retail customers there during the year and growth for the quarter amounted to almost 60 percent, albeit from a relatively low level. In December we acquired the remaining 40 percent of the Turkish operations. The first 60 percent was acquired in 2011.
The operating margin in Europe improved to 14.0 percent (13.1). Many of the countries in Segment Europe have achieved continued success in their efficiency improvement initiatives. France, our biggest market in Europe, performed well during the quarter, despite the difficult situation in Paris following the terrorist attacks in November. I am, however, not satisfied with our development in the UK. The increased volumes we took on when we signed the contract with Tesco in 2014 and from the acquisition in July 2015 of the cash handling operations from Cardtronics, continue to present challenges for us and we have not yet achieved a satisfactory level of operational efficiency. In order to improve efficiency, we recently implemented a reorganization for the purpose of sharpening our focus on the British market, which is an interesting and important market for us.
Segment International Services had negative organic growth of 12 percent for the quarter. The demand for transportation of gold items, particularly gold coins, and transportation to and from art exhibits was lower than the corresponding quarter in 2014. Our assessment is that this decline is temporary. Also, the strong Swiss currency has had a negative impact on the Swiss export industry whereby the demand for general logistics solutions has decreased. The segment's operating margin, which was 6.8 percent (9.5), was negatively impacted by the lower volumes.
During the quarter we also announced that Patrik Andersson will be taking over as the new President and CEO. Patrik is currently President of Orkla Foods Sweden and has considerable experience from Swedish and international business. Patrik will assume his new position no later than May 9, 2016.
In summary, I would like to highlight in particular the strong organic growth in the USA during the quarter and the fact that we still see further growth potential. I can also report that, despite the challenges we face in some European markets, we have once again improved our profitability in Europe.

October– December 2015
Revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 4,144 million (3,714). The cash management contract that went into effect in the USA in the latter part of 2014 and in 2015, increased revenue from SafePoint, as well as strong growth in a number of European countries, are the main explanations for the organic growth of 3 percent (2). Growth was partially offset by lower revenue in the International Services segment. Real growth amounted to 5 percent (18) and is mainly explained by the acquisitions made during the quarter in the UK and the USA. Real growth for the corresponding period the previous year is explained by the acquisition of VIA MAT in 2014.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 479 million (389) and the operating margin improved to 11.6 percent (10.5). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 65 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth within Cash Management Services (CMS) and SafePoint in the USA, by synergy effects that were realized in the Swiss transport and cash processing operations resulting from the acquisition of VIA MAT, and by the fact that the continuous efforts to improve efficiency continue to yield results in several countries.
The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 445 million (380), which includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of SEK –16 million (–13) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –18 million (4). The majority of the acquisition-related costs refers to the acquisition of Cardtronics' retail cash handling operations.
Income before tax of SEK 415 million (361) includes a net financial expense of SEK –30 million (–19). Higher indebtedness, slightly higher borrowing costs and weak SEK development all contributed to the increased financial expense.
The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK 116 million (102), which represents a tax rate of 28 percent (28). Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 3.97
(3.45).
January – December 2015
Revenue for the full year amounted to SEK 16,097 million compared to SEK 13,510 million for the previous year. The organic growth amounted to 2 percent (3) and is mainly explained by revenue from the cash management contract that went into effect in the USA in the latter part of 2014 and in 2015, increased SafePoint revenues in the USA as well as the Tesco contract in the UK that started in the fourth quarter of 2014. The real growth of 7 percent (14) is primarily attributable to the acquisition of VIA MAT implemented in 2014 and the acquisitions in the UK and the USA during the year.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,703 (1,370) million and the operating margin improved to 10.6 percent (10.1). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 176 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by strong organic growth within CMS and SafePoint in the USA, and by the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results in several countries. The operating income has also been affected by the synergy effects realized within the Swiss transport and cash processing operations as a result of the acquisition of VIA MAT. Start-up costs to handle new volumes in the UK have had a negative effect on operating income during the year.
The operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK 1,575 million (1,306), which includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of SEK –62 million (–46), acquisition-related costs of SEK –79 million (–19) and an item affecting comparability of SEK 12 million (0). The acquisition-related costs are mainly related to restructuring and integration costs as a result of the acquisition of VIA MAT implemented in 2014 and the acquisition in the UK during the year. The positive item affecting comparability of SEK 12 million is a reversal of the remaining part of the provision that was made in 2007 relating to overtime compensation in Spain.
Income before taxes of SEK 1,461 million (1,240) includes a net financial expense of SEK –114 million (–66). The increased net financial expense is mainly explained by an increased debt level resulting from acquisitions made and weak SEK development.
The tax expense for the year amounted to SEK 392 million (330), which represents a tax rate of 27 percent (27).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 14.21 (12.10).

October – December 2015
Revenue for Segment Europe for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 2,113 million (2,017). The positive organic growth in Turkey, the UK, Spain and Argentina was partially offset by lower revenue in the Nordic region, and the organic growth was 1 percent (0). The real growth of 4 percent (6) is mainly attributable to the acquisition in the UK of Cardtronics' retail cash handling operations.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 295 million (264) and the operating margin was 14.0 percent (13.1). The primary explanations for the improved profitability are the synergy effects that were realized within the Swiss transport and cash processing operations after the acquisition of VIA MAT and the fact that the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency continue to yield results in several of the European operations. France, Loomis´ biggest market in Europe, performed well during the quarter, despite the difficult situation in Paris following the terrorist attacks. The operating margin was negatively affected during the quarter by costs incurred to handle the increased volumes in the UK.
Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe January – December 2015
Revenue for the full year 2015 amounted to SEK 8,332 million compared to SEK 7,706 million the previous year. The organic growth was 1 percent (2) and is mainly explained by the contract signed with Tesco in the UK in 2014 and positive growth in Turkey, Spain and Argentina. Growth was negatively affected to some extent by lower revenue in the Nordic countries. Real growth of 4 percent (6) includes the acquisition of VIA MAT's transport and cash processing operations in Switzerland, while the corresponding period the previous year only includes revenue from the acquisition date, 5 May 2014. Real growth also includes revenue from the acquisition of Cardtronics' retail cash handling operations implemented in July 2015.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,055 million (944) and the operating margin was 12.7 percent (12.3). The improvement is mainly explained by positive profitability development in most of the European operations resulting from the continuous efforts to improve efficiency which continue to yield results, synergy effects realized within the Swiss operations after the integration of VIA MAT, and a positive development in cost of risk. The operating income was negatively effected by costs incurred to handle increased volumes in the UK.

October – December 2015
Revenue for Segment USA for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1,708 million (1,349) and organic growth was 10 percent (6). Revenue relating to the CMS contract that went into effect in the latter part of 2014 and in 2015, and increased revenue from SafePoint are the main explanations for the organic growth. The real growth of 11 percent (6) includes revenue from the acquisition of the Global Logistics' operations from Dunbar Armored Inc. implemented in November. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, reduced the organic growth for the quarter by 1.5 percentage points, but did not significantly affect operating income.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 200 million, compared to SEK 133 million for the corresponding period the previous year and the operating margin improved to 11.7 percent (9.8). The positive development is mainly explained by organic growth in combination with the increasing proportion of revenue from CMS and SafePoint, as well as the fact that the ongoing efforts to improve efficiency continue to yield results.
The proportion of revenue from CMS for the quarter amounted to 32 percent (29) of the segment's total revenue.
Revenue and operating income – Segment USA Revenue and operating income – Segment USA January – December 2015
Revenue for Segment USA for full year 2015 amounted to SEK 6,428 million (4,933). The organic growth of 6 percent (7) is mainly explained by revenue from the CMS contract that went into effect towards the end of 2014 with a continuing roll-out in 2015. Growth was also affected by increased revenue from SafePoint. The real growth of 7 percent (7) includes revenue from the acquisition of the Global Logistics operations from Dunbar Armored Inc. implemented in November. Changes in fuel fees reduced organic growth for the period by 2 percentage points, but did not significantly affect operating income.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 692 million (488) and the operating margin was 10.8 percent (9.9). An increase in the proportion of revenue from CMS and SafePoint, and continuous efforts to achieve improved efficiency are the main explanations for the positive earnings growth.
For the full year 2015, the proportion of CMS of the segment's total revenue was 31 percent (29).

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 has 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 Revenue and operating income – Segment International Services Services
October – December 2015
Revenue for the quarter from International Services amounted to SEK 342 million (364) and both organic growth and real growth were –12 percent. The lower revenue is explained by decreased demand for transportation of gold items, particularly gold coin, and lower demand for transportation to and from art exhibits. In addition, the strong Swiss currency has had a negative impact on the Swiss export industry, which has lowered revenue from general logistics solutions.
Operating income (EBITA) of SEK 23 million (35) and the operating margin of 6.8 percent (9.5) were negatively affected by the decreased volumes.
January – December 2015
Revenue for the full year 2015 amounted to SEK 1,419 million compared to SEK 918 million for the May – December 2014 period. The revenue increase is explained by the consolidation as of 5 May, 2014 of the acquired VIA MAT. The strong Swiss currency has had a negative impact on the Swiss export industry, which has lowered revenue from general logistics solutions.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 87 million (67) and the operating margin was 6.1 percent (7.3). The decrease in revenue has had a negative effect on profitability.

Cash flow
October – December 2015
Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 384 million (379), equivalent 80 percent (97) of operating income (EBITA).
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK 465 million (430), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 264 million (231). The increased net investments are related, among other things, to investments in the USA to handle new volumes.
During the period, SEK 276 million (179) was invested in vehicles, security equipment and SafePoint, which are the three main categories of recurring investments. In addition, investments of SEK 140 million (175) were made in buildings, machinery and other similar equipment.
January – December 2015
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 1,264 million (1,161), equivalent to 74 percent (85) of operating income (EBITA). The lower cash flow is mainly the result of an increased investment rate compared to the corresponding period the previous year, as well as an increase in capital tied up in accounts receivable due to higher revenue.
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK 1,379 million (1,033), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 1,061 million (875). Investments in the USA to handle the new CMS contracts explain part of the increase in net investments.
Investments of SEK 811 million (521) were made in vehicles, safety equipment and SafePoint during the year. In addition, investments of SEK 412 million (351) were made in buildings, machinery and other similar equipment.
During the period SEK 451 million (376) in dividends was paid out to shareholders.

Acquisitions January – December 2015
On March 3, 2015, Loomis' Slovak subsidiary Loomis Slovensko s.r.o. acquired the CMS-related 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. This 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 provide cash handling operations to Czech Post (Ceská Pošta). The acquired operations have annual revenue of around SEK 5 million.
In May 2015 it was announced that Loomis UK subsidiary had reached an agreement to acquire retail cash handling operations from Cardtronics UK. The purchase price was GBP 18 million, equivalent to around SEK 237 million. The acquisition provided Loomis with retail customers and Loomis took on the majority of the employees and vehicles, while Cardtronics retained some employees and vehicles to continue its ATM operations. The annual revenue is expected to be around GBP 13.5 million, equivalent to around SEK 176 million.
In November 2015 it was announced that Loomis subsidiary in the US had acquired the Global Logistics operations from Dunbar Armored Inc. The purchase price was USD 4 million, which corresponds to around SEK 33 million. The acquisition enables Loomis to expand its service offering in the USA to include nationwide transport and storage solutions for precious metals and other valuables for domestic and international customers. The annual revenue is expected to be around USD 9 million, equivalent to around SEK 75 million.
On December 28, 2015 Loomis AB acquired the remaining 40 percent of the shares in the Turkish subsidiary Loomis Güvenlik Hizmetleri A.S. Loomis has had an option to take over the remaining shares since the acquisition in 2011, which Loomis has now exercised. Since the transaction was executed with shareholders of non-controlling interests, it has been recognized in equity. Refer to accounting principles on page 15.
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 a new 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 allotted to participants in the form of Class B shares, 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 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.
In June Loomis AB signed a contract for a new bank loan, a multicurrency revolving credit facility. The new facility has an initial 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 credit facility has replaced a previous credit facility and bond loan.
In June Jarl Dahlfors, President and CEO, announced that he had decided to retire from his position at Loomis. Jarl Dahlfors left his position on August 31, 2015 and on September 1, 2015 Lars Blecko, Executive Vice President and Regional President USA, took over responsibility as Acting CEO until a new CEO takes up the position. In connection with Lars Blecko assuming the position of Acting CEO, Anders Haker, CFO for the Loomis Group, was appointed Acting President of the parent company, Loomis AB.
In October Loomis' US subsidiary announced that a contract had been signed with the Jack in the Box's National Franchisee Association in the USA to install and service around 1,000 SafePoint units. Jack in the Box, Inc. (Nasdaq: JACK) has its head office in San Diego, California. The signed contract will be in effect for five years with estimated combined revenue exceeding USD 18 million, equivalent to around SEK 150 million. The installation of the units is expected to start immediately and be completed before summer 2016.
In November the Board of Directors of Loomis AB announced the appointment of Patrik Andersson as the new President and CEO of Loomis. Patrik will take up this position no later than May 9, 2016. Lars Blecko will stay on as Acting CEO for Loomis until Patrik Andersson takes over.
In November it was also announced that Loomis AB has issued bonds of SEK 550 million. The bonds have two year maturity with the maturity date November 27, 2017. The bonds have a floating interest rate of three months' Stibor plus 80 basis points. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The bond issue of SEK 550 million is within the MTN program launched in 2014. Arranger of the MTN program is Nordea Bank AB and Danske Bank A/S. The bonds has been listed at Nasdaq Stockholm.
Number of full-time employees
The average number of full-time employees in 2015 was 21,665 (20,536 for the full year 2014). Acquisitions made as well as the appointments made 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 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 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 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 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 2015 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that revenue and income for 2016 may be impacted. 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
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 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. 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 2015 was 22 (22).
The Parent Company's fixed assets consist mainly of shares in subsidiaries and loan receivables from subsidiaries. The liabilities are mainly external liabilities and liabilities to subsidiaries.
The Parent Company's revenue mainly comes from franchise fees and other revenue from subsidiaries. The increase in dividends from subsidiaries is the main reason for the improvement in income after financial items. Net income for the period is also affected by the reversal of tax allocation reserves.
Other significant events
The Spanish tax authorities denied deductions for certain costs relating to intra-group transactions in the years 2007– 2009. Due to double taxation agreement between the countries in question, the future outcome is, at this time, not expected to have any significant effect on the Group's tax expense.
For other general critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 60 and 93 of the 2014 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 fullyear 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 IFRS Interpretations Committee (formerly 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 full-year report, are described in Note 2 on pages 52–58 of the 2014 Annual
Report. The following changes have been made to the accounting principles during the year: According to IFRS, transactions relating with non-controlling interests are to be recognized as equity transactions. There is, however, a lack of specific rules concerning revaluation of option liabilities for these holdings. According to accounting principles previously adopted, the following revaluation of option liability are recognized at fair value through statement of income. As of this quarter these revaluations, with retroactive effect, similar to other transactions with non-controlling interests, have been recognized as equity transactions.
New amendments and interpretation statements for standards that went into effect on January 1, 2015 and that already apply: IFRIC 21 Fees and annual improvements in IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40, have not led to any material effect on the Group's results or financial position.
The Parent Company's financial statements 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 99 of the 2014 Annual Report.

Anders Haker President
Report of Review of Interim Financial Information
Introduction
We have reviewed this report of Loomis AB (publ.) for the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015. The board of directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of the 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 full-year 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.
