Comments by the President and CEO
The Loomis Model continues to create value for our stakeholders and provides us with a stable foundation for the future.
Loomis' positive development continued in the second quarter of 2017. Organic growth amounted to 2 percent (6), and the operating margin (EBITA) improved to 11.9 percent (10.7). The Loomis Model continues to create value for our stakeholders and provides us with a stable foundation for the future.
The organic growth in the USA continued during the second quarter and was 5 percent (13). We saw growth in both our cash in transit (CIT) and our cash management services (CMS) operations. In making a comparison with the previous year, I would like to point out that the organic growth was exceptionally high in 2016 as it was impacted by the implementation of the CMS contract with Bank of America. Our SafePoint concept continues to yield success, with an increase in revenue of more than 20 percent compared to the same period the previous year. During the quarter we installed a total of around 900 new SafePoint units, making the total installed in the first half of the year just over 1,600 units. We expect this installation rate to accelerate in the second half and we are still maintaining our target of installing at least 5,000 new units in the USA in 2017. During the quarter the operating margin in the USA increased to 13.0 percent (11.2). The improvement is mainly related to increased CMS volumes, the increased number of installed SafePoint units and the continuous efficiency improvement efforts at our branches, which are still yielding results.
Organic growth in the European segment amounted to 1 percent (1) and, similar to the previous quarter, we are seeing positive organic growth, particularly in Spain, Turkey and Argentina. As mentioned in the Q1 report, the Easter weekend was in April this year. This meant fewer business days, which had a negative impact on the second quarter compared to the same quarter in 2016. Fewer business days means fewer stops for CIT vehicles, which in turn means less cash to process at our cash centers. The negative organic growth we experienced in the UK in the last quarters has levelled out. Meanwhile, the ongoing replacement
of bank notes and coins in Sweden has had a positive effect on growth. The underlying volumes in the Nordic countries are, however, still declining slightly. Organic growth in France, which was negative during the quarter, was mainly affected by fewer business days, but also, to some extent by an increased competition in the market. The improved operating margin, which was 13.1 percent (12.9) is mainly explained by efficiency improvements and good cost control at our branches around Europe. I would also like to point out that the important ongoing measures in the UK continue to have a positive impact on both quality and profitability.
Segment International had organic growth for the quarter of –8 percent (6) and the segment's operating margin was 7.5 percent (5.5). Demand for cross-border transportation of bank notes and precious metals was low compared to the corresponding quarter the previous year. Our international operations are affected to a greater extent by macroeconomic factors than our other segments, which means that revenue and profitability can fluctuate more between individual quarters.
In summary I can say that the first half of 2017 has been strong and that we are well on our way to reaching the financial targets we set for the full year. On September 28 we will hold a capital markets day in London at which we will present an updated strategy and new financial targets. We look forward to having the opportunity to describe Loomis' next steps and to present our future opportunities. Loomis is in a strong position today and I look forward to leading the company on the journey towards further value creation for our shareholders and other stakeholders.

April – June 2017
Revenue for the quarter was SEK 4,346 million (4,147) and both organic and real growth amounted to 2 percent (6 and 8 respectively). The increase is mainly attributable to good growth in both CIT and CMS in the USA. Growth was also positively affected by increased sales in a number of European countries. This year the Easter weekend was in April and this had a negative effect on growth due to fewer business days in the quarter than in the corresponding period the previous year. Organic growth was negative in France, mainly due to fewer business days, but also, to some extent due to an increased competition in the market. Real growth was affected by the acquisitions implemented in Denmark and Belgium in 2016 and 2017 respectively and by the divestment in 2016 of the general cargo operations.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 517 million (444) and the operating margin was 11.9 percent (10.7). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 58 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by an increase in the number of installed SafePoint units, economies of scale resulting from increased CMS volumes and better efficiency within the CIT operations in the USA. Also, the continuous Groupwide efforts to improve efficiency are still yielding results in a number of European countries.
The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 489 million (424), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –14 million (–16) and acquisitionrelated costs of SEK –14 million (–3). The acquisition-related costs are mainly restructuring and integration costs relating to the acquisition implemented in 2016 in Denmark.
Income before tax of SEK 463 million (398) includes a net financial expense of SEK –26 million (–26).
The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK –131 million (–112), which represents a tax rate of 28 percent (28).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 4.41 (3.81).
January – June 2017
Revenue for the six-month period amounted to SEK 8,625 million compared to SEK 8,179 million for the corresponding period the previous year. Sustained good growth in the USA is the main explanation for the organic growth of 2 percent (6). Growth in CMS in the USA is to a large extent explained by a sustained increase in revenue from SafePoint. Organic growth for the Group as a whole was also positively affected by increased sales in a number of European countries. Real growth of 2 percent (7) was affected by acquisitions in Denmark and Belgium and by the divestment in 2016 of the general cargo operations.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 979 million (819) and the operating margin improved to 11.3 percent (10.0). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 126 million. The improved profitability is mainly explained by an increase in the number of installed SafePoint units, economies of scale resulting from increased volumes in CMS and by better efficiency within the CIT operations in the USA. Profitability was also positively affected by the continuous Group-wide efforts to improve efficiency, which are still yielding results in a number of European countries.
The operating income (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK 921 million (779), which includes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of SEK –29 million (–32) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –29 million (–9). The acquisition-related costs are mainly restructuring and integration costs relating to the acquisition implemented in 2016 in Denmark.
Income before tax of SEK 868 million (725) includes a net financial expense of SEK –53 million (–54).
The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –247 million (–200), which represents a tax rate of 28 percent (28).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 8.26 (6.98).

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe April – June 2017
Revenue for Segment Europe for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,198 million (2,035) and organic growth was 1 percent (1). Spain, Argentina and Turkey were the main countries to demonstrate good organic growth, but the ongoing replacement of bank notes and coins in Sweden also had a positive impact on growth. The underlying volumes in the Nordic countries as a whole are, however, still declining slightly. The negative organic growth trend in the UK in the past few quarters has now levelled out. Growth for the segment was negatively affected by Easter 2017 falling in April, which meant fewer business days in the quarter compared to the same period the previous year. In France the organic growth was negative mainly due to the above-mentioned Easter effect, but also to some extent due to increased competition in the market. The real growth of 7 percent (2) includes revenue attributable to the Danish company BKS which was acquired in August 2016, as well as revenue relating to the Belgian company Cobelguard, acquired in January 2017.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 287 million (262) and the operating margin was 13.1 percent (12.9). The improved profitability is explained by the continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which continued to yield results in a number of countries, including the UK. Profitability for the segment was, however, negatively affected by Easter 2017 falling in April, which meant there were fewer business days in the quarter compared to the same period the previous year.
January – June 2017
Revenue for Segment Europe amounted to SEK 4,303 million (4,009) and organic growth was 1 percent (1). Spain, Argentina and Turkey were the main countries demonstrating good organic growth during the first half of the year, while lower volumes in the Nordic countries to some extent offset the positive organic growth for the segment as a whole. At the beginning of 2017, growth in the UK was negatively impacted due to the fact that a few of the retail customers taken over in connection with the acquisition of Cardtronics' cash handling operations chose other suppliers. The effect of the lost contracts levelled out towards the end of the period. The real growth of 6 percent (3) includes revenue attributable to the Danish company BKS and the Belgian company Cobelguard which were acquired in August 2016 and January 2017 respectively.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 527 million (461) and the operating margin improved to 12.3 percent (11.5). The improved profitability is explained by the continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results in several countries, including the UK. Profitability was also positively affected by the synergy effects realized within the Danish operations after the acquisition of BKS.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA April – June 2017
Revenue in the USA for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,945 million (1,774) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 5 percent (14 and 13 respectively). Growth in 2016 was greatly affected by revenue related to the CMS contract with Bank of America which was implemented incrementally in 2015. The growth for the quarter was explained by increased revenue in both CIT and CMS. Increased revenue from SafePoint is to a large extent explaining the CMS growth. SafePoint revenue for the quarter amounted to 12 percent of the segment's total revenue. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, had a positive effect on organic growth for the quarter by 1 percentage point, but did not significantly affect the operating income.
The proportion of revenue from CMS during the quarter amounted to 33 percent (34) of the segment's total revenue.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 252 million (199) and the operating margin was 13.0 percent (11.2). The main explanations for the improved operating margin are the increased number of installed SafePoint units, increased CMS volumes and the continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which are still yielding results. Profitability was also positively affected by good growth in CIT, which improved the efficiency in the CIT operations.
January – June 2017
Revenue for Segment USA for the first six months amounted to SEK 3,911 million (3,531) and both real and organic growth amounted to 5 percent (15 and 13 respectively). The growth is the result of increased revenue in both CIT and CMS. Growth in CMS is to a large extent explained by the continuing increase in revenue from SafePoint. Revenue from SafePoint for the period amounted to 12 percent of the segment's total revenue. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, had a 1 percentage point positive effect on organic growth, but did not significantly affect the operating income.
The proportion of revenue from CMS amounted to 33 percent (34) of the segment's total revenue.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 500 million (396) and the operating margin was 12.8 percent (11.2). The reasons for the improved profitability are the increased number of installed SafePoint units, economies of scale resulting from increased CMS volumes and the continuous efforts to improve efficiency, which continued to yield results. The profitability improvement is also explained by the good growth in CIT, which improved the efficiency in the CIT operations.

Revenue and operating income – Segment International April – June 2017
Revenue for Segment International amounted to SEK 221 million compared to SEK 348 million for the second quarter the previous year and real growth was –38 percent (–6). The lower revenue and the negative real growth is mainly explained by the fact that the comparative figures included revenue of SEK 124 million relating to the general cargo operations, which were divested on July 1, 2016. Due to macroeconomic factors, demand for cross-border transportation of bank notes and precious metals was relatively low compared to the corresponding quarter the previous year, and organic growth therefore amounted to –8 percent (6).
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 17 million (19) and the operating margin was 7.5 percent (5.5). The comparative figures for 2016 include the general cargo operations which were divested on July 1, 2016. The remaining operations have higher profitability than the divested operations.
January – June 2017
Revenue for Segment International amounted to SEK 445 million compared to SEK 666 million for the corresponding period the previous year and real growth was –35 percent (–2). The lower revenue and the negative real growth is mainly explained by the fact that the comparative figures included revenue of SEK 239 million relating to the general cargo operations which were divested on July 1, 2016. Organic growth amounted to –3 percent (–2) and is mainly explained by lower demand for cross-border transportation of bank notes and precious metals than in the corresponding period the previous year. Demand is greatly influenced by macroeconomic factors.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 27 million (35) and the operating margin for the period was 6.0 percent (5.3). The improved margin is to some extent explained by the fact that the divested operations had lower profitability than the remaining operations. The lower demand compared to the previous year, primarily in the high-value transportation of bank notes and precious metals, has, however, had a negative impact on profitability.

Cash flow
April – June 2017
Cash flow from operating activities of SEK 437 million (513) amounted to 85 percent (116) of operating income (EBITA).
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK 278 million (321), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 285 million (269). Investments of SEK 117 million (188) were made during the period in vehicles, safety equipment and SafePoint. An additional SEK 105 million (80) was invested in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.
Income tax paid in the quarter was SEK 218 million compared to SEK 118 million for the corresponding quarter the previous year. The increase is mainly due to tax payments made in the US during the quarter.
Dividends were paid to shareholders in the amount of SEK 8 per share for a total of SEK 602 million during the quarter.
January – June 2017
Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 752 million (609), equivalent to 77 percent (74) of operating income (EBITA).
Similar to previous years, the effect on cash flow of the changes in other working capital and other items was negative in the first half of the year because large payments for items such as employee related expenses and insurance premiums are made during this period. Positive effects of changes in working capital on cash flow normally occur during the latter part of the year.
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK 527 million (538), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 578 million (540). Investments of SEK 249 million (289) were made during the period in vehicles, safety equipment and SafePoint. An additional SEK 179 million (146) was invested in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.
SEK 602 million was paid out in dividends to the shareholders during the period.

Capital employed
Capital employed amounted to SEK 10,578 million (10,576 as of December 31, 2016). Return on capital employed amounted to 19 percent (18 as of December 31, 2016).
Equity and financing
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 6,361 million (6,647 as of December 31, 2016). The return on shareholders' equity was 21 percent (19 on December 31, 2016) and the equity ratio was 44 percent (45 as of December 31, 2016). Shareholders' equity was positively affected by net income for the period of SEK 622 million. Equity was however reduced by dividend to shareholders of SEK 602 million and by a strong SEK development, which decreased the value of the Group's net assets in foreign currencies.
Net debt amounted to SEK 4,217 million (3,929 as of December 31, 2016). The net debt/EBITDA ratio amounted to SEK 1.32 on June 30, 2017 (1.31 as of December 31, 2016).

Acquisitions in January – June 2017
In January 2017 Loomis acquired all of the shares in the Belgian company Cobelguard CIT NV. Cobelguard conducts domestic cash handling services and is based in Ghent, Belgium. The enterprise value amounted to around EUR 12 million, equivalent to around SEK 114 million. In addition to the purchase price paid of SEK 34 million, the sellers have the right to deferred considerations maximized at EUR 5 million depending on future financial development. The maximum deferred consideration has been calculated at present value and the entire amount has been provided for. Cobelguard has around 170 employees and annual revenue in 2016 was around EUR 12 million. The acquired operations are reported in Segment Europe and were consolidated into Loomis' accounts as of the date the transaction was completed, January 30, 2017. The purchase price, excluding the deferred consideration, was paid on closing. As a result of restructuring and integration costs, the acquisition is expected to have a marginally negative impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2017.
Significant events and number of full-time employees
Significant events during the period
The Annual General Meeting on May 4, 2017 voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an Incentive Scheme (Incentive Scheme 2017). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2016, the incentive scheme involves two thirds of the variable remuneration being paid out in cash the year after it is earned. The remaining one third will be allotted to participants in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB at the beginning of 2019. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2019, 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, 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 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 twelve-month period was 22,400 (22,000 for the full year 2016).
Risks and uncertainties
Risks
Loomis' operations, which include cash in transit, cash management services and international valuables logistics, involve Loomis' assuming the customer's risks associated with managing, transporting and storing cash, precious metals and valuables. Loomis has established routines and processes to identify, take action to mitigate and monitor risks. Risks are assessed based on two criteria: the likelihood that an event will occur and the severity of the consequences for the business if the event should occur. There are risks both in terms of circumstances pertaining to Loomis itself or the industry as a whole and risks that are more general in nature. Certain risks are outside of Loomis' control.
Below is a description of some of the most significant risks and uncertainties which may have a negative impact on Loomis' operations, financial position and results, and which should therefore be taken into account when making assessments based on full-year or interim financial information. The risks described below are not in any particular order of significance.
Operational risks: Operational risks are risks associated with the day-to-day operations and the services offered by the Company to its customers. Some of the most significant risks Loomis has identified are:
- IT-related risk, such as operational disruptions and extended stoppages of operational systems, as well as risk associated with the installation of new systems.
- Risk of changed behavioral patterns relating to purchases and payments.
- Customer-related risk, such as the risk of loss of certain customers as well as significant changes in the banking sector.
- Competition risk, such as Loomis' ability to develop competitive offerings.
- Employee risk, such as a high staff turnover.
- Risk of robbery.
- Risk of internal theft and/or failing reconciliation routines at cash centers.
- Risk associated with the implementation of acquisitions, such as difficulties integrating new operations and employees, as well as the anticipated benefits of a certain acquisition not being realized or only partially realized.
Financial risks: In its operations, Loomis is exposed to risk associated with financial instruments such as liquid funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans. The risks relating to these instruments are mainly:
- 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 pertaining to financial and commercial activities.
- Capital risk pertaining to the capital structure.
- Price risk.
The financial risks are described in more detail in Note 6 in the 2016 Annual Report.
Legal risks: Through its operations, Loomis is exposed to legal risks such as:
- Risk of disputes and legal action.
- Risk associated with the application of existing laws or other regulations and changes in legislation.
Factors of uncertainty
The economic trend in the first half of 2017 may have impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that this may have a negative impact on Loomis' revenue and income for the remainder of 2017. Changes in general economic conditions have various effects on the cash handling services market. These include the ratio of cash purchases to credit card purchases, changes in consumption levels, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses, as well as the staff turnover rate.
The preparation of financial reports requires the Board of Directors and Group Management to make estimates and assessments. Estimates and assessments affect both the income statement and the balance sheet as well as the information disclosed on things like contingent liabilities. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and assessments depending on other circumstances and other conditions.
In the upcoming six-month period the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the 2016 Annual report and where applicable under the heading "Other significant events" on page 15, may deviate from the financial assessments and provisions made by management. This may impact the Group's profitability and financial position.
Seasonal variations
Loomis' earnings fluctuate across the seasons and this should be taken into consideration when making assessments based on interim financial information. The primary reason for these seasonal variations is that the need for cash handling services increases during the summer vacation period and in connection with public holidays and holiday periods.
