Comments by the President and CEO

The Group's real growth for the second quarter of 2018 amounted to 7 percent (2) and the organic growth was 3 percent (2). USA continues to act as an engine for the organic growth, but many countries in the European segment are also experiencing high growth. Organic growth remains high in Argentina and Turkey, but Spain, Portugal and Austria have also made a positive contribution. Organic growth is currently more challenging in France and Sweden. We expect the situation in France to gradually improve in the second half of this year. I am happy to report that we have made several key acquisitions in the second quarter. The acquisition of CPoR in France will enable us to expand our offering relating to foreign currencies in one of the world's largest tourist markets, and as a result of our acquisition of Compañía Chilena de Valores in Chile, our share of the Chilean cash handling market will exceed 30 percent.

The Group's operating margin (EBITA) was lower in the second quarter than in the same quarter in 2017, amounting to 10.6 percent (11.9). In the same way as in the first quarter this year, the ongoing restructuring programs in France and Sweden have had a negative effect on the operating margin due to significant costs involved in adapting operations to the changed market situations.

We are continuing to increase our share of the US market and we are seeing good organic growth both in cash in transit (CIT) and in cash management services (CMS). The continuing outsourcing trend among banks is increasing our volumes at the same time as the number of installed SafePoint units is growing. We believe that our strong customer focus and our highly ambitious quality strategy continue to be key contributing factors in sustaining our strong growth. Organic growth in the quarter amounted to 7 percent (5). Revenue from our SafePoint concept increased during the quarter by around 18 percent, compared with the corresponding period in 2017. In the second quarter this year we installed just over 1,300 new units, making a total of around 25,000 units installed at our customers' locations. The

operating margin in USA amounted to 13.1 percent (13.0). Our business model, which involves constant and ongoing efficiency improvement at our branches, continues to yield results, at the same time as revenue from our high-margin products in CMS and SafePoint is contributing to positive market development. Our aim is to continue to grow in the USA and we are investing in several areas of our business to handle increased volumes. Our sales organization is growing and we are also expanding our support organization within customer service and IT.

The organic growth in Segment Europe amounted to -1 percent (1). Similar to the first quarter, the positive development we have witnessed in many countries is continuing to result in good growth. But, as we reported earlier, the development in Sweden and France is more challenging. The replacement of bank notes and coins in Sweden was largely completed in the third quarter of 2017 and this has negatively affected organic growth in the second quarter of this year. We previously reported that in summer 2017 our volumes went down in France among some of our larger customers. Competition in the French market is tough and we are expecting growth in France to remain challenging for the remainder of 2018, although development will gradually improve. The operating margin in Segment Europe during the quarter was 10.7 percent (13.1). The lower operating margin is in large part related to the French and Swedish operations where significant restructuring programs are ongoing. We expect these programs to reach their full effect at the end of 2018. The lower operating margin is in part also due to the fact that in the first quarter this year we acquired a business in Germany which currently is experiencing lower profitability than the European average.

In Segment International organic growth was 3 percent (-8). The operating margin was slightly lower than in the corresponding period last year, amounting to 6.9 percent (7.5). Demand for cross-border transportation of bank notes and precious metals remained low during the quarter, but we believe that we have seen the end of the negative market trend of the past few years. Our storage operations continue to develop in a positive direction, although this has not been able to fully compensate for the margin development in our CIT operations.

The implementation of our new strategy plan is in full swing. The progress on our Centers of Excellence in Stockholm (innovation), Madrid (CIT/CMS) and Houston (SafePoint/retail customer solutions) is according to plan. Of course there is still much work to do and we are continuing to work towards reaching our strategic and financial targets for 2021.

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

April – June 2018

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 4,808 million (4,346). Organic growth was 3 percent (2) and real growth was 7 percent (2). Similar to previous periods, organic growth is mainly attributable to continued good growth primarily in the USA. Revenue also increased in several countries in the European segment, where Spain, Turkey, Argentina, Portugal and Austria showed good growth. The organic growth was adversely affected during the quarter by development in Sweden and France. The acquisitions made in Finland, Chile and Germany in 2017 and 2018 had a positive impact on real growth.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 509 million (517) and the operating margin was 10.6 percent (11.9). At comparable exchange rates the drop in income was around SEK 21 million. The ongoing restructuring programs in France and Sweden, combined with the acquisition in Germany in 2018, are the main explanations for the lower margin. The restructuring programs that are ongoing are expected to reach their full effect at the end of 2018. In the USA an increased number of installed SafePoint units, economies of scale from increased CMS volumes and improved efficiency in both CIT and CMS have had a positive impact on the operating margin.

The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 575 million (489). Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for the quarter amounted to SEK –22 million (–14) and acquisition-related costs amounted to SEK –10 million (–14). An item affecting comparability of SEK 98 million (0) was reported during the quarter. The item consists primarily of a positive nonrecurring item of SEK 178 million relating to a revaluation of the UK pension obligation as well as impairment of goodwill in two operations within the European segment.

Income before taxes of SEK 553 million (463) includes a net financial expense of SEK –23 million (–26).

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK –141 million (–131), which represents a tax rate of 26 percent (28). The US tax reform passed in December 2017 had a positive effect on the tax rate for the period.

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 5.47 (4.41).

January – June 2018

Revenue for the six-month period amounted to SEK 9,294 million (8,625). Sustained good growth in the USA, Turkey and Argentina was the main explanation for the organic growth of 3 percent (2). Growth in the USA is largely explained by a sustained increase in CMS outsourcing from the banks as well as continued increase in SafePoint revenue. Growth in Turkey and Argentina is mainly attributable to increased CIT volumes. Organic growth for the Group as a whole was also positively impacted by increased sales in a number of European countries such as Spain, Portugal and Austria. Organic growth was adversely affected during the period by development in Sweden and France. The acquisitions made in Finland, Chile and Germany had a positive impact on real growth of 8 percent (2).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 981 million (979) while the operating margin fell to 10.6 percent (11.3). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 11 million. Considerable restructuring programs are ongoing in France and Sweden to handle new market situations and are the main reason for the decline in profitability. More installed SafePoints in the USA and growing CMS volumes in the USA have not been able to compensate for lower operating margins in some of the European markets for the Group as a whole.

The operating income (EBIT) for the period amounted to SEK 1,025 million (921), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –39 million (–29), acquisitionrelated costs of SEK –15 million (–29) and an item affecting comparability of SEK 98 million (0). The item affecting comparability consists primarily of a positive non-recurring item of SEK 178 million relating to a revaluation of the UK pension obligation as well as impairment of goodwill in two operations within the European segment.

Income before taxes of SEK 977 million (868) includes a net financial expense of SEK –48 million (–53).

The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –248 million (–247), which represents a tax rate of 25 percent (28). The US tax reform passed in December 2017 had a positive effect on the tax rate for the period.

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 9.69 (8.26).

Revenue and operating income – Segment Europe April – June 2018

Revenue for Segment Europe for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,459 million (2,198) and organic growth was –1 percent (1). Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Turkey and Austria all showed good organic growth. Sweden completed its replacement of bank notes and coins in the third quarter of 2017 and this had a negative impact on organic growth during the quarter. Volumes are expected to continue to fall slightly in the Nordic countries as a whole. Organic growth in France initially developed in a negative direction in the second quarter of 2017 due to the increasingly tough competitive climate there. Volumes in France have been falling since then and we expect growth in France to gradually recover in the second half of the year. The real growth of 8 percent (7) includes revenue generated by the operations acquired over the past 12 months in Finland, Chile and Germany.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 263 million (287) and the operating margin was 10.7 percent (13.1). The lower margin is explained by lower volumes, mainly in France and Sweden, as well as the acquisition in Germany in 2018. A restructuring program is ongoing in France to compensate for the lower volumes there and the full effect of this is expected to be reached at the end of 2018. Similar programs are in progress in the Nordic countries to adapt operations to slightly lower volumes.

January – June 2018

Revenue for Segment Europe for the period amounted to SEK 4,798 million (4,303) and organic growth was –1 percent (1). Spain, Argentina and Turkey were primarily the countries demonstrating good organic growth in the first six months of the year, while lower volumes in France and in the Nordic countries offset the positive organic growth for the segment as a whole. The real growth of 8 percent (6) includes revenue relating to the acquisitions in Finland, Chile and Germany.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 488 million (527) and the operating margin fell to 10.2 percent (12.3). The decline in profitability is explained by the extensive restructuring program ongoing in France and in a number of the Nordic countries to handle a new market situation. Furthermore, the operating margin was negatively affected by the acquired German operation, which is currently experiencing a lower profitability than the European average.

Revenue and operating income – Segment USA

April – June 2018

Revenue for Segment USA for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,126 million (1,945) and both real growth and organic growth amounted to 7 percent (5). Growth increased during the quarter, both in CIT and in CMS. Increased revenue from ATM replenishment was the main driver for the CIT development whereas more installed SafePoints is mainly explaining the CMS growth. Increased outsourcing volumes from banks was also a contributing growth factor. Revenue for the quarter from SafePoint amounted to 13 percent (12) of the segment's total revenue. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, had a marginally positive effect on organic growth for the quarter, but did not significantly affect the operating income.

The share of revenue from CMS during the quarter amounted to 34 percent (33) of the segment's total revenue.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 277 million (252) and the operating margin was 13.1 percent (13.0). As in previous quarters, the main explanations for the slightly improved operating margin are the increased number of installed SafePoint units, economies of scale achieved due to increased CMS volumes and the constant efforts to improve efficiency which continue to yield results. The aim is to continue the expansion in the USA and operational adjustments are ongoing in order to handle increased volumes. The sales organization is growing and we are also expanding our support organization within customer service and IT.

January – June 2018

Revenue for Segment USA for the first six months amounted to SEK 4,066 million (3,911) and both real and organic growth amounted to 8 percent (5). The growth is the result of increased revenue in both CIT and CMS. Growth in CMS is largely explained by the sustained increase in SafePoint revenue, which accounted for 13 percent (12) of the segment's total revenue for the period. Changes in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, had a positive effect on organic growth by 1 percentage point, but did not significantly affect the operating income.

The share of revenue from CMS for the period amounted to 34 percent (33) of the segment's total revenue.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 549 million (500) and the operating margin was 13.5 percent (12.8). The improved profitability is explained by the increased number of installed SafePoint units, economies of scale from increased CMS volumes and the constant efforts to improve efficiency, which continue to yield results.

Revenue and operating income – Segment International April – June 2018

Revenue for Segment International amounted to SEK 239 million compared to SEK 221 million for the second quarter the previous year and real growth was 5 percent (–38). The previous year's negative real growth was related to the divested general cargo operations. Demand for cross-border transportation of bank notes and precious metals remained low during the quarter, but we believe that the negative market trend we have seen in recent years has now ended. The organic growth amounted to 3 percent (–8).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 17 million (17) and the operating margin was 6.9 percent (7.5). The margins in precious metals storage operations continue to grow slightly, while margin development in cross-border transportation of bank notes and precious metals is negatively impacting the operating margin development for the segment as a whole.

January – June 2018

Revenue for Segment International amounted to SEK 461 million compared to SEK 445 million for the corresponding period the previous year and organic growth was 1 percent (–3). The real growth amounted to 4 percent (–35). The previous year's negative real growth was related to the divested general cargo operations.

The operating profit (EBITA) amounted to SEK 34 million (27) and the operating margin for the period was 7.3 percent (6.0). The margin improvement is mainly explained by good growth in the precious metals storage operations.

Cash flow

April – June 2018

Cash flow from operating activities of SEK 456 million (437) corresponded to 90 percent (85) of the operating income (EBITA).

Net investments in fixed assets for the quarter amounted to SEK 310 million (278), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 300 million (285). Investments of SEK 154 million (117) were made during the quarter in vehicles, safety equipment and SafePoint. An additional SEK 88 million (105) was invested in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.

The income tax paid in the quarter was SEK 226 million compared to SEK 218 million for the corresponding quarter the previous year.

January – June 2018

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 726 million (752), equivalent to 74 percent (77) of operating income (EBITA). Similar to previous years, the change in cash flow from changes in other working capital and other items was negative in the first half of the year because large payments for items such as personnel costs and insurance premiums are normally made during this period. Positive cash flow changes relating to changes in working capital normally occur during the latter part of the year.

Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK 666 million (527), which can be compared to depreciation of fixed assets of SEK 585 million (578). Investments of SEK 253 million (249) were made during the period in vehicles, safety equipment and SafePoint. An additional SEK 233 million (179) was invested in buildings, machinery and similar equipment.

The income tax paid in the period was SEK 302 million compared to SEK 283 million for the corresponding period the previous year.

Capital employed

Capital employed amounted to SEK 12,320 million (10,860 as of December 31, 2017). Return on capital employed amounted to 17 percent (19 as of December 31, 2017).

Equity and financing

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 7,736 million (7,037 as of December 31, 2017). The return on shareholders' equity was 20 percent (20 as of December 31, 2017) and the equity ratio was 44 percent (46 as of December 31, 2017). The increase in shareholders' equity is mainly due to the net income of SEK 729 million for the period and to an increase in the Group's net assets in foreign currencies due to the weak SEK development. Shareholders' equity for the period was reduced by a dividend to shareholders of SEK 677 million.

Net debt amounted to SEK 4,584 million (3,823 as of December 31, 2017). The net debt/EBITDA ratio amounted to 1.42 (1.19 as of December 31, 2017) and is affected by completed acquisitions and dividend.

Acquisitions January – June 2018

On January 17, 2018 Loomis announced its acquisition of all of the shares in the limited partnership company KÖTTER Geld und Wertdienste SE & Co. KG ("KGW"). KGW offers domestic cash handling services and its head office is in Essen, Germany. The enterprise value amounted to around SEK 171 million. The acquired operations are reported in Segment Europe and are consolidated into Loomis' accounts as of the closing date January 22, 2018. The purchase price was paid on closing. After acquisition and integration costs, the acquisition is expected to have a marginal negative impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2018.

In January and February Loomis made two small acquisitions, one in Segment International and one in Segment Europe. The total enterprise value for both acquisitions was around SEK 23 million. The acquisitions are not expected to have any material impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2018.

On June 4, 2018 Loomis announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in the French company CPoR Devises (CPoR). CPoR is a French credit institution that primarily offers foreign currency (FX) but also offers physical gold for investment purposes. The FX services include wholesale purchase and sale of bank notes to banks and currency exchange offices, currency purchase and sale to bank branches as well as secure transportation of bank notes to and from bank branches in France and other French-speaking regions. The company's head office is in Paris, France and there are branches

in Lyon, Marseille and Nice. The enterprise value is around EUR 70 million, equivalent to around SEK 700 million. CPoR has around 130 employees and its annual revenue for 2017 was approximately EUR 37.5 million. The acquired operations will be reported in Segment Europe and consolidated into Loomis as of closing of the transaction. The closing date is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2018 and is pending local works council procedures and approval from ACPR, the French financial market regulator. The purchase price is payable upon closing. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2018.

On June 27 Loomis announced the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares in the Chilean company Compañía Chilena de Valores S.A. (CCV). CCV operates in the cash handing market and is based in Valparaiso, Chile. The acquired operations are reported in Segment Europe as of the closing of the transaction. The closing took place on June 27, 2018 and USD 22 million of the purchase price was paid on closing. The acquisition is expected to have a marginal positive impact on Loomis' earnings per share for 2018.

Other events and number of full-time employees

Significant events during the period

The Annual General Meeting on May 3, 2018 voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2018). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2017, the new incentive scheme involves two thirds of variable remuneration being paid out in cash the year after it is earned. The remaining one third will be paid out to participants in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB allotted at the beginning of 2020. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2020, 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 enters 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 participants. The Incentive Scheme will enable around 350 key individuals within Loomis to become shareholders in Loomis AB over time. This will increase employee commitment to Loomis' development for the benefit of all shareholders.

Other events during the period

Kristoffer Wadman took up the position of Chief Innovation Officer at the beginning of June. In February this year Loomis announced that Anders Haker, the current CFO, will take on a new role as Chief Investor Relations Officer in the third quarter this year and that Kristian Ackeby will take over as CFO in the third quarter. Kristoffer Wadman has joined and Kristian Ackeby will join Group Management.

Other events after the balance sheet date

Loomis' Danish subsidiary was informed at the beginning of July that a competitor has filed a lawsuit with the Danish court. The amount in the lawsuit is DKK 125 million and relates mainly to alleged misuse of dominant position in the Danish market. Loomis is of the opinion that it has acted in compliance with the laws in effect and intends to dispute the lawsuit.

In July it was announced that Loomis has entered into a partnership with Sonect AG. Sonect is based in Switzerland and offers a smartphone based solution that enables individuals to withdraw cash from the bank account at stores without using a debit or credit card.

Number of full-time employees

The average number of full-time employees for the rolling twelve-month period was around 23,600 (22,800 for the full year 2017). Of these, around 13,100 employees work within Segment Europe, around 10,100 within Segment USA and around 400 are employed within Segment International.

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 pro-cesses 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 is risk both in terms of circumstances pertaining to Loomis itself or the industry as a whole, as well as 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 that 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 fullyear or interim 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 risks, such as operational disruptions and extended stoppages of systems linked to operating activities, as well as risks linked to installation of new systems.
  • Risk of changed behavioral patterns relating to purchasing and payment.
  • Customer-related risks, 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 cash 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 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 relating to these instruments are mainly:

  • 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 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 2017 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, other regulations and changes in legislation.

Factors of uncertainty

The economic trends in the first six months of 2018 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that Loomis' revenue and income for the remainder of 2018 may be negatively impacted as a result of this. Changes in general economic conditions and market trends have various effects on demand for cash handling services. These include the ratio of cash purchases to credit card purchases, changes in con-sumption 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 2018 the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the 2017 Annual report and where applicable under the heading "Critical estimates and assessments" 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 vacation periods and in connection with public holidays and holiday periods.

1) The number of Class B treasury shares was 53,797 for all periods above.

The Group's 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 during the period was 21 (17).

The Parent Company's revenue mainly consists of license fees and other revenue from subsidiaries. The lower net income for the period is primarily explained by higher exchange rate losses on loans in foreign currency, which are related to investments in subsidiaries.

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.

Critical estimates and assessments

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 77–78 and 103 of the 2017 Annual Report. Except for goodwill assessments in certain European countries and the legal case in Denmark, disclosed on page 12 in this report, there have been no other significant changes compared to what is described in the Annual 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 interim report is on pages 1–31, and pages 1–15 are thus an integrated part of this financial report. 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 68–76 of the 2017 Annual Report.

To supplement the description provided in Note 2 of the 2017 Annual Report regarding IFRS 15 and its impact on Loomis, the Company would like to provide the additional information below. As a result of the implementation of IFRS 15 the opening balance sheet total as of January 1, 2018 increased by SEK 131 million. The asset increase is mainly related to completed sales of SafePoint units that were previously recognized as revenue, but which are now defined as a contract asset and depreciated over the term of the customer contract. Contract assets are recognized in the balance sheet on the line "Tangible fixed assets." The increase on the liabilities side is largely for the payments received for the abovementioned sold Safe-Point units. These contract liabilities are recognized on the lines "Non-interest-bearing current assets" and "Non-interest-bearing provisions." The total effect on equity as a result of the IFRS 15 implementation was a reduction in shareholders' equity of SEK 15 million.

IFRS 16 Leases is effective as of January 1, 2019. The implementation of the new standard will have an impact on the financial statements of the Group. More information regarding IFRS 16 can be found in note 2 of the 2017 Annual Report. An assessment of the impact of the IFRS 16 implementation is ongoing. Loomis will implement the new standard from January 1, 2019 and the modified retrospective method will be used.

The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The most important accounting principles applying to the Parent Company can be found in Note 36 on page 108 of the 2017 Annual Report.

Outlook for 2018

The Company is not providing any forecast information for 2018.

The undersigned confirm that this interim report provides a fair and true overview of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations, financial position and results, and describes any significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and other companies in the Group.
