Comments by the President and CEO

Similar to the world around us, Loomis's current situation is of course very much characterized by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We have a very important function to fill when society faces serious challenges. The payment system is dependent on the cash market working efficiently and we are doing our utmost to ensure that we can continue supporting our customers with cash handling services. All of our branches in more than 20 markets are in operation. The safety of our employees is the top priority and we are carefully following the advice of local public health agencies. Routines are in place to minimize the risk of our employees contracting or spreading the virus at our workplaces. Accordingly, among other things, we have informed our employees about the importance of avoiding personal contact, keeping a safe distance from the nearest person, wearing gloves, frequent hand washing and staying at home if they have symptoms. No business travel is taking place. Meetings are instead being held remotely. During these difficult times our employees have shown fantastic loyalty and they deserve a lot of credit for Loomis's ability to continue providing our customers with high quality services.

False rumors have been spread saying that cash is a source of transfer of the virus. Several medical experts engaged by, among others, the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bundesbank, have spoken out and denied that the virus can be spread by cash. The WHO has also been clear that it has never communicated that cash presents a risk of spreading the virus.

During the first quarter of this year the

impact of the pandemic on Loomis was limited. It was not until the latter part of March that the effects became visible. During the first quarter Loomis was negatively affected to a slightly greater extent in Europe than in the USA. This is in line with the spread of the pandemic in general. In April the negative effects of the pandemic on the Group's revenues increased and they were around 25 percent lower compared with April 2019. The revenues declined to a higher degree in Europe than in USA.

At the end of March the Board of Directors decided to withdraw the proposal for the 2019 dividend of SEK 11 per share. The Board also announced that the final dividend decision is expected to be made at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting later in the year when it is possible to better assess the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

Retail volumes have, of course, been negatively affected by the actions the authorities in our markets have decided to take, but at the same time we saw in March a temporary increase in revenue from grocery retail and ATM services. We are also taking a number of steps to make Loomis more financially resilient. All capital expenditures that can be postponed will have to wait and in several of our markets we have unfortunately been forced to furlough or give notice of termination to employees. A large percentage of our costs are variable and our ambition is to offset the reduced volumes as far as possible by quickly reducing expenses. I want to emphasis that Loomis has a strong financial position and, in addition, we have also increased our liquidity buffer by signing a new loan of SEK 1,200 million.

In many of our markets we have in a short space of time managed to advance our positions. There are many good examples. In Spain, for example, we are offering new solutions to our financial customers and this has already had a positive impact on our revenue. In the USA we have signed new customer contracts when other providers have found it difficult to deliver services. Within our international business we are also seeing a higher level of interest as

* The Board of Directors has decided to withdraw the proposal for the 2019 dividend to the 2020 AGM. The Board intends to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting for the purpose of deciding on the dividend when the business climate and market conditions will hopefully have stabilized and it will be possible to assess the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

Operating margin (EBITA), %

precious metal transportation has increased since the pandemic took hold. Interest in gold as an investment normally increases when stock market values go down. Our swift actions have opened up new opportunities and these will to some extent compensate for the generally lower volumes in retail business.

We started the quarter by signing two attractive acquisitions. In January an agreement was signed to purchase Nokas's Swedish cash handing operations and in February we announced that we had reached an agreement to acquire Automatia in Finland. These operations provide a good complement to Loomis's business. In Sweden we are securing higher volumes and we will be better able to increase our service offering in the long term. The acquisition of Automatia in Finland is an exciting investment in ATM services. The acquisition expands our knowledge base and the company provides us with experience in operation and maintenance of ATMs as well as digital payment systems. Both acquisitions are in line with our strategic plan.

In the first quarter the Group's real growth amounted to 2 percent (5), of which organic growth made up 0 percent (2). The positive growth that our European operations generated in 2019 continued in the first two months of the year, but slowed down in March when the pandemic began to grow. The effects of the pandemic on our US operations were not noticeable until the end of March and this resulted in positive organic growth in the USA for the quarter as a whole. Revenue from SafePoint in the USA continued to develop well, rising by around 12 percent for the quarter.

One factor in the ability to deliver highquality services to our customers is our focus on profitability in the customer portfolio. We remain selective when we enter into new contracts and in the short term this may have a negative impact on organic growth. This is the case in all markets – both Europe and the USA.

The Group's operating margin (EBITA) amounted to 11.0 percent (11.3). The negative effects of the pandemic as a whole have lowered the operating margin.

In the USA a more profitable customer portfolio in combination with higher revenue from SafePoint, as well as efficiency improvement programs at the branches, are the main reasons for the continued strong earnings.

In Europe several countries are contributing with higher operating margins. Our French company, CPOR, had a successful quarter in which precious metal operations in particular contributed to the increased revenue. The integration in France of the operations we acquired in the summer of 2019 remained intense during the first two months of the year but is now proceeding at a slightly slower pace. Due to the impact of the pandemic we have determined that it will take slightly longer than planned to fully realize the synergies. We should reach the full effect in late 2020 or early 2021. Our German operations developed according to plan in January and February but was affected by the pandemic thereafter. Efficiency improvement programs continue in Germany and will be intensified when the negative effects of the pandemic on society are reduced.

I am convinced that Loomis will come out strong of this difficult situation, that we and the world around us find ourselves in. I would in particularly like to thank all of Loomis's employees for their very strong commitment to our company at this difficult time.

Revenue and earnings

January – March 2020

Group – revenue

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 5,329 million (5,006). Real growth was 2 percent (5), of which organic growth made up 0 percent (2).

Segment Europe – revenue

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,842 million (2,711). The real growth of 2 percent (6) was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of Prosegur Cash's French operations in July 2019. Organic growth was –2 percent (2). Operations developed well during the first two months of the year when several countries were still experiencing positive organic growth. In March the ongoing coronavirus pandemic negatively affected revenue and, accordingly, the organic growth for the quarter as a whole was negative.

Segment USA – revenue

Revenue amounted to SEK 2,507 million (2,310) and organic growth was 2 percent (2). The real growth amounted to 1 percent (2). During the quarter the increase in the number of SafePoint units installed was the main factor for the positive organic growth, but the growth rate for CIT and CMS in the USA was also positive compared with the corresponding period in 2019. Revenue for the quarter from SafePoint accounted for 17 percent (15) 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 negative effects of the spread of the pandemic had less of an effect in the USA than in Europe as the virus started spreading slightly later in North America compared to in Europe.

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

Group – operating income (EBITA)

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 589 million (564) and the operating margin was 11.0 percent (11.3). At comparable exchange rates the earnings development was around SEK –5 million.

Segment Europe – operating income (EBITA)

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 276 million (293) and the operating margin was 9.7 percent (10.8). In France, the precious metal operations of CPOR developed well during the quarter. Interest in gold and other precious metals as investments normally increases at times of uncertainty in the global economy. The quarter as a whole saw a lower operating margin as the impact on the pandemic on volumes in the two last weeks of March became evident. The acquisition in France, in July 2019, was dilutive to operating margin.

Segment USA– operating income (EBITA)

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 371 million (321) and the operating margin was 14.8 percent (13.9). Higher revenue from SafePoint, a more profitable customer portfolio, as well as efficiency improvement programs at the branches, were the main drivers for the continued strong operating performance.

Other

The operating income (EBIT) for the quarter amounted to SEK 544 million (558), which includes amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets of SEK –27 million (–25), acquisitionrelated costs of SEK –18 million (–15) and items affecting comparability of SEK 0 million (33). The item in 2019 of SEK 33 million is reported capital gains from the divestment of the art logistics and storage operations.

Income before tax of SEK 490 million (509) includes a net financial expense of SEK –54 million (–49).

The tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK –125 million (–130), which represents a tax rate of 25 percent (25).

Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 4.85 (5.04).

Cash flow and capital expenditures

January – March 2020

Cash flow from operating activities, excluding effects from IFRS 16, amounted to SEK 768 million (30), equivalent to 134 percent (5) of operating income (EBITA).

Net capital expenditures in fixed assets during the period amounted to SEK –386 million (–317), which can be compared to depreciation (excluding the IFRS 16 impact) of SEK 336 million (305). Capital expenditures were mainly invested in buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment during the period. Investments in relation to depreciation for the period amounted to 1.2 (1.0). For the effects of IFRS 16, see Note 8.

Capital employed and financial position

Capital employed

Loomis's total capital employed as of March 31, 2020 amounted to SEK 17,796 million (16,924 as of December 31, 2019), which represents 83 percent (80) of revenue. Return on capital employed amounted to 15 percent (15).

Shareholders' equity and financing

Shareholders' equity increased in the first quarter by SEK 1,146 million to SEK 10,738 million as of March 31, 2020 (9,592 as of 31 December 2019). Net income for the period of SEK 365 million, translation differences of SEK 818 million and actuarial gains of SEK 110 million increased shareholders' equity by SEK 1,293 million. Share related compensations of SEK –34 million as well as hedging of net investments of SEK –114 million reduced shareholders' equity by SEK –148. The return on shareholders' equity was 15 percent (17 on December 31, 2019) and the equity ratio was 39 percent (36).

Net debt amounted to SEK 7,058 million as of March 31, 2020 (7,332 as of December 31, 2019) and the net debt/EBITDA amounted to 1.56 (1.65 as of December 31, 2019).

As of March 31, 2020, total long-term loan facilities amounted to approximately SEK 8.4 billion. Unutilized loan facilities amounted to approximately SEK 4.1 billion on March 31, 2020, of which 1.6 billion was used as back-up for outstanding commercial papers. Available cash and bank assets amounted to around SEK 2.2 billion (see Note 6). In addition to the above the Company signed a two-year credit agreement in April 2020 of SEK 1.2 billion. See page 8 for more information.

Other events

Significant events during the period

In March 2020 the Board of Directors of Loomis AB decided to withdraw the proposal of a dividend for 2019 of SEK 11 per share and at the same time announced that the intention is for the final dividend decision to be made at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting later in the year when it is possible to assess the consequences of the pandemic.

The Board of Directors has decided to propose that a resolution be passed at the 2020 Annual General Meeting regarding a new incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2020). Similar to Incentive Scheme 2019, the proposed incentive scheme (Incentive Scheme 2020) 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 2022. The allotment of shares is contingent upon the employee still being employed by the Loomis Group on the last day of February 2022, 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 principle of performance measurement 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 for this Incentive Scheme. To enable Loomis to allot the 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 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. To read the Board's full incentive scheme proposal, refer to the notice of the AGM on www.loomis.com.

Acquisitions during the period

In January 2020 Loomis AB announced that, through the wholly owned subsidiary Loomis Sverige AB (Loomis Sweden), it had entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in the limited liability company Nokas Värdehantering AB (Nokas Värdehantering), a subsidiary of Nokas Kontandthåntering AS in Norway. The enterprise value, i.e. the purchase price payable on a debt free basis, is around SEK 80 million. Nokas Värdehantering has around 220 employees and its net revenue over the 12-month period ending in September 2019 was around SEK 215 million. The company's current operating margin, EBITA, is negative. The acquired operations will be reported within Segment Europe and consolidated into Loomis's accounts as of the closing of the transaction. Nokas Värdehantering and Loomis Sweden are both payment institutions under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA) and Loomis Sweden must therefore undergo an ownership assessment performed by

the SFSA. The acquisition will be completed on condition that the SFSA approves Loomis Sweden as the owner. The purchase price is payable on closing. Including integration costs, the acquisition is expected to have a negative impact on Loomis's earnings per share for 2020. Thereafter, the acquired operations are expected to show a profit. Nokas CMS AB, a subsidiary of Nokas Värdehantering which has an ATM business in the Nordic region, is not part of the transaction and will remain part of the Nokas Group.

In February 2020 Loomis entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Automatia Pankkiautomaatit Oy (Automatia) from its current owners Danske Bank, Nordea and OP Financial Group. The enterprise value, i.e. the purchase price payable on a debt-free basis, is approximately EUR 42 million. Automatia operates Finland's largest ATM business, under the Otto brand, but also offers cash supply services to bank branches, service boxes for retail and a digital platform for realtime payments. Automatia has around 30 employees. Its net revenue over the 12-month period ending in December 2019 was around EUR 42 million. Under the acquisition agreement, the sellers will sign long-term service agreements and will therefore also remain significant customers of Automatia. The acquired operations will be reported within Segment Europe and consolidated into Loomis's accounts as of closing of the transaction. The transaction is contingent upon approval from the Finnish competition and consumer protection agency and from other relevant authorities. The acquisition will be completed following approval, which is expected to be in the third quarter of 2020. The purchase price is payable on closing. Including integration costs, the acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Loomis's operating margin, EBITA, and on profit per share for 2020.

Events after the end of the period

In April 2020 it was announced that Loomis AB had signed a two-year credit agreement of SEK 1,200 million. It is in the form of a term loan and matures in April 2022. The arrangers of the loan are Danske Bank A/S, and Nordea Bank Abp. The loan may be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes.

Loomis Foreign Exchange AS in Norway (Loomis FX) has in the recent year strengthened its organization and processes to address the shortcomings revealed by the investigations described in 2019. Loomis FX is in dialogue with the Norwegian financial supervisory authority (Finanstilsynet) and a statement is expected to be received in the second quarter of this year.

Kristoffer Wadman, who currently holds the position as Chief Innovation Officer, will leave the Group management team and become Marketing Director for Loomis's initiatives within digital payment platforms.

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 1–25, and the pages 1–8 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 97–105 of the 2019 Annual Report.

Reporting of cash at the cash processing operations

Loomis' operations involve the transportation of cash and other valuables based on customer contracts in place. If stipulated in the customer contract, the transported cash is processed at Loomis' cash centers. The cash that is received by Loomis is on consignment unless otherwise agreed with the customer. Consignment stocks of cash are accounted for by the other parties and not by Loomis.

In cases where Loomis, according to the customer contract, assumes ownership of the cash received, it is reported as inventory of cash. These inventories are financed by specific credit facilities and prepayments from customers. The credit facilities and prepayments are only used for this purpose.

CASH PROCESSING OPERATIONS:

1) Excluding consignment stocks of money.

As a consequence of the changed accounting principle regarding funds in the cash processing operations, which is described in Note 2 of the 2019 Annual Report, Loomis has retroactively reclassified earlier periods according to the following table:

SEK m March
31, 2019

Other current receivables 695 –577 1181)
Current liabilities
Liabilities, cash processing
operations
2,672 2,672

1) Included in Non-interest-bearing current assets.

The reclassification has had no impact on Loomis' net debt. Interest expense for the above-mentioned credit facilities is still reported under "Production expenses" and not as a net financial expense as it relates to financing of operating activities/inventory of cash. The adjustment has therefore had no impact on operating income, operating margin or earnings per share before and after dilution.

Even though inventories of cash are disposable deposits, they are entirely separated from Loomis' other liquid funds and cash flow, and according to internal guidelines they are not used in Loomis' other operations or business. In the cash flow statement inventories if cash are therefore reported net against the above-mentioned credit facilities and prepayments from customers. The reclassification in the balance sheet has therefore no impact on the Group's cash flow.

Reconciliation of liquid funds according to the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31 (after the above reclassification) against liquid funds in the Group's cash flow statement is as follows:

2020 2019

Critical estimates and assessments

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 105–107 and 134 of the 2019 Annual Report. 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 37 on page 138 of the 2019 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 2019 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 during 2019 impacted certain geographic areas negatively, and it cannot be ruled out that Loomis' revenue and earnings for 2020 may be negatively impacted as a result.

As a consequence of the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the authorities in many markets have initiated measures that have lowered demand in retail business in these countries. The Company's revenue and earnings in the first quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted and this trend is expected to continue until the development of the pandemic slows and retail businesses in the countries where Loomis operates can start to grow again. Loomis is monitoring events carefully and taking steps to minimize or eliminate the impact on the Group's operations. Loomis is following the guidelines issued by the Public Health Agency of Sweden, the WHO, ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) and the CDC in the USA.

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 2020 the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the 2019 Annual report and where applicable under the heading "Critical estimates and assessments" in Note 1 of this report, 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

Loomis has operations in a number of countries, with country presidents being responsible for each country. Segment presidents supervise operations in a number of countries and also support the respective country president. Operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal Loomis reporting, submitted to Loomis' CEO who has been identified as the most senior executive decision-maker within Loomis. Loomis has the following segments: Europe, USA, and Other. Presidents for the segments Europe and USA are responsible for following up the segments' operating income before amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and revenue and items affecting comparability (EBITA), according to the manner in which Loomis reports its consolidated statement of income. This then forms the basis for how the CEO monitors development, allocates resources etc. Loomis has therefore chosen this structure for its segment reporting.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS

In January 2020 Loomis AB announced that, through the wholly owned subsidiary Loomis Sverige AB (Loomis Sweden), it had entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in the limited liability company Nokas Värdehantering AB (Nokas Värdehantering), a subsidiary of Nokas Kontandthåntering AS in Norway. The enterprise value, i.e. the purchase price payable on a debt free basis, is around SEK 80 million. The acquired operations will be consolidated into Loomis's accounts as of the closing of the transaction. The acquisition will be completed on condition that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA)

approves Loomis Sweden as the owner.

In February 2020 Loomis entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Automatia Pankkiautomaatit Oy (Automatia) from its current owners Danske Bank, Nordea and OP Financial Group. The enterprise value, i.e. the purchase price payable on a debt-free basis, is around EUR 42 million. The acquired operations will be consolidated into Loomis's accounts on closing of the transaction. The transaction is contingent upon approval from the Finnish competition and consumer protection agency and from the relevant authorities.

NOTE 8 – LEASES

Loomis has applied IFRS 16 since January 1, 2019. The Group is using the simplified transition method, modified retroactively, and has therefore not restated the comparative figures. For further information about IFRS 16, please see Note 2 of the 2019 Annual Report.

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 2,996 million as of March 31, 2020 (2,955). Buildings account for 74 percent (79) of total rightof-use assets. The lease liability as of March 31, 2020 totaled SEK 2,957 million (2,870), of which the long-term lease liability amounts to SEK 2,372 million (2,349) and the short-term lease

liability to SEK 585 million (521). The long-term and short-term lease liabilities are recognized as interest-bearing long-term lease liabilities and interest-bearing short-term lease liabilities respectively in the balance sheet.

As of March 31 2020, the costs relating to short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) amounted to SEK 9 million (7) and leases for which the underlying asset has a low value (<USD 5,000) amounted to SEK 2 million (6).

Definitions

Use of key ratios not defined in IFRS

The Loomis Group's accounts are prepared in accordance with IFRS. See page 13 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.
