January – September 2019
Comments by the President and CEO

The third quarter progressed at a fast pace. At the end of July the acquisition of Prosegur's French operations was concluded and we immediately started the integration process. The acquired operations complement our own – both in terms of customers and branch locations. This means that there are significant opportunities to create synergies and our aim is for the integration process to be fully completed towards the end of next year. Similar to most other countries in Europe, France is now a market that essentially has only two providers.
In the third quarter the Group's real growth remained good at 6 percent (8), of which organic growth accounted for 3 percent (2). The positive organic growth that started in Segment Europe at the end of 2018 is continuing. Many countries are contributing to this growth and I would in particular like to mention Spain, Belgium, Turkey and our operations in South America. I am also pleased that organic growth in France has continued for the second consecutive quarter.
Similar to the second quarter this year, organic growth in the USA for the domestic cash in transit operations (CIT) and cash management services (CMS) was slightly lower than the corresponding period in 2018, but we believe that there is still good growth potential for CMS and Safe-Point. Around 60 percent of CMS work in the US is still conducted by banks and the potential for additional outsourcing is therefore significant. The combined market penetration of SafePoint in the USA is below 20 percent. We believe that we are the market leader in the segment and that
we can offer the best solutions to customers. Our revenue from SafePoint grew by almost 17 percent in the USA, during the quarter.
The Group's operating margin (EBITA %) in the third quarter amounted to 13.4 percent (12.7). The introduction of IFRS 16 had a positive effect of 0.2 percentage points. Both the USA and Europe continue to deliver improved profitability. In the USA higher revenue from SafePoint and CMS, as well as efficiency improvement programs at the branches, are the main drivers for the continued strong earnings. In Europe several countries are contributing through higher operating margins, and the acquisition of CPoR, completed just before year-end 2018, is also helping to raise profitability. The comprehensive restructuring program in France in 2018 continues to contribute to earnings growth. The acquisition of Prosegur's French operations, on the other hand, had a negative impact on the Group's operating margin. Once the integration process is completed and synergies can be realized, we believe that margins will improve for the French operations as a whole. Our German operations did not reach expected results during the quarter and had a diluting effect on the Group's operating margin.
At the beginning of September we held a capital markets day in London. The event was well-attended and information was provided during the day about the business performance in relation to the targets and the strategy launched in 2017 for the 2018–2021 period. The main themes were showing that Loomis is well on the way to reaching its 2021 financial targets and a presentation of additional growth opportunities beyond the CIT and CMS business areas. These include service offerings for physical foreign exchange (FX), ATM management and digital payment solutions. In stage one we are focusing on the markets in Europe before exporting our offerings to other markets. The European market for FX is considered to be around SEK 10 billion and Loomis currently has a limited share. The aim is for Loomis's annual revenue to reach SEK 1 billion over the next three years.

ATM market is also presenting good opportunities for Loomis. The European market is expected to be around SEK 10 billion. Our goal in the next five-year period is to reach a market share of 20 percent with annual revenue of SEK 2 billion.
At the capital markets day we also provided several examples of our commitment to meeting our sustainability targets. Both our carbon emissions and plastics use are being reduced according to plan. Our efforts are producing good results that are contributing to sustainable development, but the solutions will also have a positive impact on Loomis' profitability.

Group – Revenue and earnings
July – September 2019
Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 5,492 million (4,918). Real growth was 6 percent (8) and organic growth was 3 percent (2). The acquisition of CPoR in France in December 2018 and of Prosegur Cash's French operations in July 2019 had a positive impact on real growth. Sales also increased in several countries in the European segment, where Spain, Belgium, Turkey and the operations in South America showed good growth. The growth rate for CIT and CMS in the USA was slightly lower than in the corresponding period in 2018.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 737 million (626) and the operating margin was 13.4 percent (12.7). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 83 million, of which the effect of IFRS 16 amounted to around SEK +14 million. The restructuring programs implemented in 2018 in France and Sweden have had a positive effect on the operating margin. The acquisition of CPoR has also lifted the operating margin, while the acquisition of Prosegur Cash's French operations slowed the positive development of the operating margin. The operating margin in the USA was positively impacted by a greater share of revenue relating to SafePoint, higher efficiency at the branches and the restructuring program that is underway in the international segment.
The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 700 million (592), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –25 million (–22) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –8 million (–12).
Income before tax of SEK 660 million (565) includes a net financial expense of SEK –32 million (–24), of which the effect of IFRS 16 amounted to around SEK –27 million. Net financial items were positively affected during the quarter by a revaluation of USD assets in Argentina. The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK –168 million (–142), which represents a tax rate of 25 percent (25).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 6.54 (5.61). The total effect on earnings per share as a result of IFRS 16 entering into force was SEK –0.13 in the third quarter this year.
January – September 2019
Revenue for the nine-month period amounted to SEK 15,702 million compared to SEK 14,212 million for the corresponding period the previous year. The acquisitions made in France and the acquisition made in June 2018 in Chile had a positive impact on real growth of 5 percent (8). The organic growth was 3 percent (3). Growth continued in the European segment, where Spain, Belgium, Turkey and the operations in South America are the main contributors. Growth in Turkey and Argentina is mainly attributable to increased CIT volumes. Growth in the USA, which was lower than in the corresponding period the previous year, was mainly negatively affected at the beginning of 2019 by the ongoing restructuring of the international operations and by a slightly lower growth rate for CIT and CMS.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,908 (1,608) million and the operating margin improved to 12.2 percent (11.3). At comparable exchange rates the income improvement was around SEK 220 million, of which the effect of IFRS 16 amounted to around SEK +39 million. The restructuring programs in France and Sweden implemented in 2018 have had a positive effect on the operating margin for the period. More installed SafePoint units in the USA continue to improve profitability and ongoing efficiency improvements at the branches are also producing good results. The restructuring programs under way within the international operations in the USA have also helped to raise the operating margin.
The operating income for the period (EBIT), which amounted to SEK 1,813 million (1 ,618), includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –75 million (–61) and acquisition-related costs of SEK –44 million (–27). The nine-month period of 2019 also includes an item affecting comparability of SEK 24 million (98), which mainly relates to reported capital gains of SEK 33 million from the divestment of the Artcare art logistics and storage operations. For the corresponding period in 2018 a positive item affecting comparability of SEK 98 million was reported, consisting mainly of a positive non-recurring item relating to the revaluation of the UK pension obligation of SEK 178 million, as well as impairment of goodwill in two operations within the European segment.
Income before tax of SEK 1,658 million (1,542) includes a net financial expense of SEK –133 million (–72), of which the effect of IFRS 16 amounted to around SEK –79 million. The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –419 million (–391), which represents a tax rate of 25 percent (25).
Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 16.47 (15.30). The total effect on earnings per share in the first nine months of the year as a result of IFRS 16 entering into force was SEK –0.39.

Revenue and operating income
July – September 2019
Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,023 million (2,701). The real growth of 10 percent (9) was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of CPoR in France in December 2018 and of Prosegur Cash's French operations in July 2019. Our organic growth was 3 percent (–1). Spain, Belgium, Turkey and the operations in South America continued to show good organic growth, but several other countries also contributed to the organic growth. The Nordic region as a whole continued to report negative organic growth.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 449 million (381) and the operating margin was 14.9 percent (14.1). The effects of the restructuring programs in Sweden and France, which were concluded in 2018, continued to provide positive results. The acquisition of CPoR in France, which was concluded just before the end of 2018, had a positive effect on the operating margin, while the acquisition of Prosegur Cash's French operations had a slowing effect on the positive development of the operating margin. The ongoing restructuring programs at the branches have also contributed to the improved profitability.
January – September 2019
Revenue for the period amounted to SEK 8,555 million (7,826) and organic growth was 3 percent (–1). Spain, Belgium, Turkey and the operations in South America continued to show good organic growth, but several other countries also contributed to the organic growth. The real growth of 8 percent (8) was positively affected by revenue generated by the acquired operations in Chile and France.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,072 million (904) and the operating margin was 12.5 percent (11.6). The profitability improvement is largely due to the restructuring programs implemented in Sweden and France in 2018, which are progressing according to plan. At the beginning of 2019 growth in France was, however, impeded slightly by the "yellow vest" demonstrations. The acquisition of CPoR in France was completed before the beginning of 2019. CPoR is operating with a higher operating margin than the European average and has therefore helped to improve profitability. The acquisition of Prosegur Cash's French operations had a negative effect on the operating margin. The ongoing efficiency improvement programs at the branches have also increased the operating margin.

Revenue and operating income
July – September 2019
Revenue amounted to SEK 2,502 million (2,233) and organic growth was 4 percent (6). Real growth amounted to 3 percent (7). The underlying organic growth for the domestic CIT and CMS operations was slightly lower than in the corresponding period in 2018. However, the growth potential for CMS and SafePoint is still considered to be good. Similar to the earlier quarters this year, higher revenue from ATM management contributed to development, while an increase in the number of installed Safe-Point units explains much of the growth in CMS. Revenue for the quarter from SafePoint accounted for 15 percent (13) of the segment's total revenue. The change in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, did not have a significant impact on organic growth for the quarter.
The share of revenue from CMS during the quarter amounted to 35 percent (33) of the segment's total revenue.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 340 million (283) and the operating margin was 13.6 percent (12.7). Higher revenue from SafePoint and CMS as well as efficiency improvement programs at the branches continue to provide good results. The restructuring program within the international operations also continued to contribute to the improved profitability.
January – September 2019
Revenue amounted to SEK 7,214 million (6,432) and organic growth was 3 percent (7). The real growth amounted to 2 percent (8). Higher revenue from ATM management and an increase in the number of installed SafePoint units explains much of the growth. Revenue for the period from SafePoint accounted for 15 percent (13) of the segment's total revenue. Growth was negatively affected during the period by the ongoing restructuring program within the international operations. The growth rate for the domestic CIT and CMS operations was slightly lower than in the corresponding period in 2018. The change in fuel fees, which Loomis passes on to its customers, did not have a significant impact on organic growth for the period.
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 989 million (830) and the operating margin was 13.7 percent (12.9). Efforts to improve efficiency at the branches are having a positive effect on earnings and higher revenue from SafePoint and CMS is contributing to the higher profitability. The restructuring program within the international operations continues to have a positive effect on the operating margin.
Cash flow and liquidity
January – September 2019
Cash flow from operating activities, excluding effects from IFRS 16, amounted to SEK 1,732 million (1,156) for the first nine months, equivalent to 93 percent (72) of operating income (EBITA).
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –1,118 (–1,014), which can be compared to depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 940 million (885). Investments were made primarily in buildings, vehicles machinery and equipment during the period. Investments in relation to depreciation for the period amounted to 1.2 (1.1). For the effects of IFRS 16, see Note 7.
Other events
Significant events during the period
In March 2019 there was a change in ownership of all of Loomis ABs 3,428,520 Class A shares. The transaction represented 4.6 percent of the capital and 32.3 percent of the votes in Loomis. The buyer subsequently requested conversion of the Class A shares to Class B shares in accordance with the Articles of Association of Loomis AB.
In March 2019 the number of votes in Loomis AB (publ) was changed due to conversion of all 3,428,520 Class A shares to a total of 3,428,520 Class B shares, which means there are no longer any issued Class A shares in the Company. The conversion was implemented based on the possibility for Class A shareholders to request conversion of Class A shares into Class B shares. This provision was introduced into the Articles of Association at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Company on September 5, 2018. The number of Class B shares has therefore increased by 3,428,520 shares and the number of Class A shares is reduced by the same number. The number of votes has decreased by 30,856,680. As of March 29, 2019 the total number of shares and votes in the Company amounted to 75,279,829.
The Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2019 voted in favor of the Board's proposal to introduce an incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2019). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2018, the proposed incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2019) will involve two thirds of the variable remuneration being paid out in cash the year after it is earned. The remaining one third will be in the form of Class B shares in Loomis AB to be allotted to the participants at the beginning of 2021. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2021, other than in cases where the employee has left his/ her position due to retirement, death or a long-term illness, in which case the employee will retain the right to receive bonus shares. The principles for performance measuring and other general principles already being applied in the existing Incentive Scheme will continue to apply. Loomis AB will not issue any new shares or similar instruments in connection with this Incentive Scheme. To enable allotment of 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 Loomis to become shareholders in Loomis AB over time. This will increase employee commitment to Loomis' development for the benefit of all shareholders.
An extraordinary shareholders' meeting for Loomis AB was held on August 28, 2019. The meeting voted in favor of the Nomination Committee's proposal to elect Lars Blecko and Johan Lundberg as new members of the Board. The meeting also resolved that the fee for each board member decided upon at the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2019 will continue to apply. For retiring and new board members the fee will be payable pro rata for the member's actual period of service in relation to the full period from the 2019 AGM until the end of the 2020 AGM. As the number of elected board members for the period up to the end of the 2020 AGM has been increased by one member, feels totaling around SEK 3,543,000 will be paid. This is an increase of around SEK 293,000 of the total board fees decided on at the AGM on May 8, 2019.
On July 19 Loomis announced the conclusions from investigations following the Danish media allegations. On May 8, 2019, a Danish journalist put forward allegations that a Loomis subsidiary had been providing currencies to foreign exchange offices in Denmark, of which some are suspected to be involved in money laundering. Loomis has not, at any time, been served suspicion from authorities relating to this matter but takes allegations about money laundering seriously, and therefore immediately launched an internal as well as two separate and independent external investigations.
The foreign exchange business in Denmark has been conducted by Loomis Foreign Exchange AS in Norway ("Loomis FX"). The foreign exchange business related to the Danish exchange offices constituted at the time less than 0.1 percent of the total revenue of the Loomis group. As of December 2018, Loomis FX has terminated all businesses with foreign exchange offices in Denmark.
The internal investigation has been carried out by the Group Risk Function at Loomis and the external independent investigations have been conducted by KPMG AB and Advokatfirmaet Erling Grimstad AS. The external investigations were performed to review Loomis FX's antimoney laundering (AML) framework and the compliance with relevant regulations as well as how these were followed in relation to, among other things, onboarding of new customers and monitoring of transactions during the period from 2016 to 2018 period, with a specific focus on foreign exchange offices in Denmark.
The policies and procedures of Loomis FX contain the most important aspects of AML, including know your customer (KYC) requirements. Deficiencies in relation to compliance with internal policies and procedures have, however, been identified and it has been concluded that the applied compliance standards could have been higher. Despite proactive work by Loomis FX, such as contacts with authorities and engagement of external experts, the deficiencies have in some cases led to the FX operations not being conducted satisfactorily. This relates to e.g. authorization, onboarding of customers, specific arrangements for, and monitoring of, highrisk customers as well as reporting of suspicious transactions and
activities to the authorities. Loomis has therefore contacted the authorities concerned to share the conclusions from the investigations but also to inform about actions taken to strengthen the organization's AML policies, procedures and routines.
Loomis will strengthen its organizational and processes and initiate immediate remediation of the deficiencies identified in the investigations including a review of the current organizational. Based on current information, Loomis estimates that these issues do not have any significant effect on the Loomis Group's financial position and results. Further facts or findings may become evident during the implementation of the corrective actions and, if so, be dealt with appropriately.
Acquisitions during the period
In January 2019 it was announced that Loomis AB, through a wholly owned subsidiary, had entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Ziemann Sicherheit Holding GmbH (Ziemann). Ziemann primarily provides domestic cash handling services. Ziemann also performs certain security services and has wholesale and retail operations relating to currencies and precious metals. The enterprise value, i.e. the purchase price payable on a debt free basis, amounted to around EUR 160 million. Ziemann has around 2,700 employees and its net revenue in 2018 amounted to around EUR 175 million. More than 90 percent of net revenue relates to cash handing services. Zeimann's current operating margin (EBITA %) is around 7 percent. The company's operations will be reported within Segment Europe and consolidated into Loomis upon closing of the transaction, which will take place following regulatory approval. The purchase consideration will be paid on closing.
On April 4, 2019 it was announced that Loomis AB, through a wholly owned subsidiary, had entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Prosegur Cash Holding France (PCF). PCF is primarily involved in domestic cash handling operations in France and has its head office in Lyon. PCF has around 630 employees and its net revenue in 2018 was around EUR 38.5 million. The acquired operations are reported in Segment Europe and were consolidated into Loomis as of closing of the transaction. The enterprise value amounted to around EUR 39 million. The transaction closed on July 22, 2019 at which time the purchase price was paid.
Other events during the period
In January 2019 it was announced that Loomis AB had an agreement for a credit facility of EUR 150 million. This is a multi-currency revolving credit facility and matures in January 2024. The lead arrangers of the loan are Danske Bank A/S, Nordea Bank Apb and Crédit Lyonnais. The loan may be used to finance working capital and investments, and used for other purposes. The agreement replaces a previous one for USD 100 million.
In February 2019 Loomis AB, through a wholly owned subsidiary, divested the art logistics and storage operations (Artcare) to Iron Mountain (Schweiz) AG. Artcare was acquired as part of VIA MAT in 2014 and was not part of Loomis' core business. The divested operations had revenue in 2018 of around CHF 5 million (equivalent to around SEK 45 million). Artcare was reported as part of Segment International. Capital gains before tax of
around CHF 4 million, equivalent to SEK 33 million, were recognized and reported as an item affecting comparability in the first quarter of 2019.
On September 5, 2019 Loomis held a capital markets day in London and demonstrated that the Company's financial targets are within reach. Loomis provided information about business performance in relation to the goals and the strategy launched in 2017 for the 2018–2021 period. The main themes were showing that Loomis is well on the way to reaching its 2021 financial targets and a presentation of additional growth opportunities beyond the Cash in Transit (CIT) and Cash Management Services (CMS) business areas. The opportunities include service offerings for physical foreign exchange (FX), ATM management and digital payment solutions.
On September 11, 2019 Loomis issued bonds in the amount of SEK 1,750 million. The bonds have a 4-year maturity and the maturity date is September 18, 2023. The bonds carry a floating interest rate of three months' Stibor plus 1.15 percent and the proceeds will be used for operating activities and to refinance loans. The issue was implemented within the framework of the Loomis MTN program. Nordea Bank Apb is the arranger for the Loomis MTN program and was also the issuing institute for the issue in cooperation with Danske Bank A/S. The bonds are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
Events after the end of the period
On October 22, 2019 it was announced that the members of Loomis AB's Nomination Committee for the 2020 Annual General Meeting had been appointed. The following members were appointed:
- Hans Ek, appointed by SEB Fonder, Chairman of the Nomination Committee

Notes
NOTE 1 – 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 1–24, and pages 1–9 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 81–89 of the 2018 Annual Report.
IFRS 16 Leases is being applied as of January 1, 2019. The 2018 Annual Report describes the accounting principles as well as the change between operating leases as of December 31, 2018 and the lease liability as of January 1, 2019. In addition to this information Loomis provides further details of the impact on the financial statements for 2019. See Note 7.
Critical estimates and assessments
For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 90–91 and 119 of the Annual Report for 2018. There have been no other significant changes compared to what is described in the Annual Report.
Parent Company – Loomis AB
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 are described in Note 36 on page 123 of the 2018 Annual Report.
NOTE 2 – 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 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 that should therefore be taken into account when making assessments based on full-year 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 purchases and payments.
- 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 and other criminal activity.
- 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 being 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 2018 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 nine months of 2019 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that Loomis' revenue and earnings for the remainder of 2019 may be negatively impacted as a result. 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 consumption levels, the risk of robbery and bad debt losses, and 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 or other conditions.
In 2019 the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the 2018 Annual report and where applicable under the heading "Critical estimates and assessments" on page 14, 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.

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT OVERVIEW
As a result of restructuring, Segment International is no longer a separate segment. The purpose of the restructuring program is to take better advantage of growth opportunities and further improve efficiency. As of the first quarter of 2019 the international operations in North America are included in Segment USA, while other international operations are included in Segment Europe. Comparative figures have been adjusted to include the former Segment International in the USA and Europe respectively and to create future comparability.

The transaction will be completed following merger control clearance. No further details can be provided other than those stated on page 9.
In April 2019 it was announced that Loomis AB, through a wholly owned subsidiary, had entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Prosegur Cash Holding France. Closing of the acquisition took place July 22, 2019.
In addition to the above acquisitions, two smaller acquisitions of assets and liabilities were implemented in the second quarter of 2019. The total purchase price for these acquisitions was around SEK 44 million and the total annual revenue amounts to around SEK 45 million. As these acquisitions are not considered material, no complete disclosures according to IFRS 3 are being provided.

1) In the third quarter Loomis prepared long-term business plans and in connection with this process, an impairment test was carried out to determine if impairment was indicated in any of the Group's cash-generating units. None of the cash-generating units had a book value exceeding its recoverable amount, and therefore no goodwill impairment has been recorded in the third quarter.
2) For information regarding the IFRS 16 impact, see Note 7.
NOT 7 – LEASES
Loomis has not early-adopted IFRS 16 and is applying the standard as of January 1, 2019. The Group is using the simplified transition method, modified retroactively, and will therefore not restate the comparative figures.
See Note 2 in the 2018 Annual Report regarding the new accounting principles as well as the change between operating leases as of December 31, 2018 and the lease liability as of January 1, 2019. In addition to the description provided in Note 2 of the 2018 Annual Report regarding IFRS 16 and its impact on Loomis, the Company would like to provide the information below.
Impact
As a result of the introduction of IFRS 16 the operating income (EBITA) is charged with depreciation of right-of-use assets instead of an operating lease expense. In addition, the increased lease liability is negatively impacting net financial expense. See also the tables below.
Right-of-use assets, which are reported on a separate line in the balance sheet, amounted to SEK 3,030 million as of September 30, 2019. Buildings account for 77 percent of total right-of-use assets. The lease liability as of September 30, 2019 totaled SEK 3,016 million, of which the long-term lease liability amounts to SEK 2,453 million and the short-term lease liability to SEK 563 million. The long-term and short-term lease liabilities are recognized as interest-bearing long-term lease liabilities and interest-bearing shortterm lease liabilities respectively in the balance sheet.
In the first nine months of 2019 the costs relating to short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) amounted to SEK 26 million and leases for which the underlying asset has a low value (<USD 5,000) amounted to SEK 6 million.

Definitions
Use of key ratios not defined in IFRS
The Loomis Group's accounts are prepared in accordance with IFRS. See page 14 for more information on accounting principles. Only a few key ratios are defined in IFRS. As of the beginning of the second quarter of 2016 Loomis is applying the new guidelines for Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority). Briefly, an alternative performance measure is a financial measurement of historical or future earnings development, financial position or cash flow not defined or specified in IFRS. To assist management and other stakeholders in their analysis of the Group's performance, Loomis is reporting certain performance measures not defined by IFRS. Group Management believes that this data will facilitate an analysis of the Group's performance. This data supplements the IFRS information and does not replace the performance measures defined in IFRS. Loomis' definitions of measures not defined in IFRS may differ from definitions used by other companies. All of Loomis' definitions are included below. Key ratio calculations that cannot be checked against items in the statement of income and balance sheet can be found on page 2.

Review Report
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Loomis AB (publ) for the period January 1 – September 30, 2019. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information 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 has a
different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
