KEY RATIOS

Explanation and reconciliation of alternative performance measures can be found on pages 21–22 of this report and under Definitions on page 23.

Highest operating profit ever and record revenues

Loomis achieved all-time high revenues and operating profit in the third quarter. Revenues in Europe and Latin America have returned to pre-pandemic levels with the opening of societies and increased tourism and travel. The automated solutions with SafePoint in the USA have continued to be successful. Loomis Pay transaction volumes continued to grow and the pilot project in Spain developed according to plan.

The record high revenue has been supported by continued strong organic growth across all geographies, which amounted to 15.5 percent (5.7) in the third quarter, as well as changes in exchange rates. The Group's operating margin (EBITA%) increased to 12.5 percent (11.3). The margin was positively impacted by increased volumes but slightly impacted by labor shortages as well as general supply chain issues. Excluding Loomis Pay, the operating margin reached 13.1 percent (12.0).

Solid performance across all geographies

Segment USA continued to grow at a strong rate during the quarter, with an organic growth of 15.2 percent (13.8). Revenues within all offerings grew and SafePoint in particular with an organic growth rate above 20 percent, and our view is that we continue to increase our market share in USA. The operating margin amounted to 13.8 percent (14.5) and it is encouraging that we sequentially see an improvement in margin compared to the first half of this year.

Segment Europe and Latin America delivered a strong quarter with record revenues and a sharp increase in margin. Consumers have returned to shops and restaurants, which in combination with the seasonality impact of increased travel and tourism has been positive for Loomis' business. The foreign exchange business grew markedly in the quarter and surpassed pre-pandemic levels. We achieved an organic growth of 16.4 percent (–1.1) and the operating margin increased to 13.4 percent (11.1).

It is positive to see that Loomis Pay transaction volumes in existing markets continued to increase in the quarter. The pilot in Spain is progressing according to plan and customer interactions confirm that we are on the right path. The largest Loomis Pay customer signed to date is a Spanish customer, which shows the potential with the Spanish market. Our initial focus is on customers in the Madrid area, and we look forward to the launch in the fourth quarter.

Transformation of vehicle fleet

Loomis remains committed to reducing emissions, and I am pleased to share that we now also have electric armored vehicles in New York City. Given the traffic situation, being able to serve our customers in Manhattan with zero emissions is an important milestone. Electric vehicles have also been put in operations in the UK and similar initiatives are underway throughout Europe.

As we renew our vehicle fleet, we are also switching to lighter vehicles with several added safety features. With our targeted initiatives throughout the organization, we are on track to both reducing our own emissions and helping our customers reach their targets while maintaining our high security standards for the safety of our employees.

Loomis' importance in society

Securing a high level of service quality to Loomis' customers while ensuring the

+15% Organic growth

+75% EPS growth

safety of employees and customers is of the highest priority. The need for functioning flows of cash is vital in today's society and it is important that all actors within the value chain, including central banks and commercial banks, take their responsibility. Here Loomis has an important part to play in ensuring that cash is readily available, making the cash flows in society more efficient.

The post-pandemic economic recovery coupled with geopolitical uncertainties have led to higher inflation and interest rates in many markets where Loomis operates. The world around us is changing, and the potential impact for cash handling and Loomis' business is twofold. While increased inflation may change consumptions patterns within the retail business, higher interest rates provide an incentive for financial institutions to move cash quicker. I am confident that Loomis will continue to deliver according to our strategy, as we have done in the past in times of macroeconomic and global uncertainties.

Our performance in the third quarter was strong and I would like to take the opportunity to thank our employees for their commitment and our customers for their trust in us.

Revenue and income – Europe and Latin America

Quarter 3

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,244 million (2,688). Real growth, was 16.4 percent (8.3). Organic growth was 16.4 percent (–1.1). Overall, there were no restrictions in Europe and Latin America unlike the third quarter 2021 and societies have opened after the pandemic, leading to strong growth in cash volumes including a significant growth for the foreign exchange business. However, continued restrictions in Asia had a slight impact on the international business in the region as well as less tourism.

Revenues from SafePoint amounted to approximately 7 percent (7) of the segment's total revenues. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was approximately 19 percent (19).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 435 million (300) and the operating margin was 13.4 percent (11.1). Increased revenue in combination with the steps that Loomis took early on to compensate for the temporarily lower volumes after the pandemic broke out provided clear results. Inflation and supply chain issues temporarily impacted the margin.

Nine months

Revenue for the first nine months amounted to SEK 9,047 million (7,412). Real growth, which was 18.7 percent (4.4), was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of the cash handling operations of Swiss Post in May 2021. Organic growth was 16.0 percent (–3.5). The removal of restrictions had significant impact on the volumes in the first nine months compared with 2021 as societies return to normal. During the beginning of the year, this segment was to some extent negatively affected by restrictions. Growth improved from the second half of February and in March once restrictions eased. However, imposed restrictions in Asia had a slight impact on the international business as well as less Asian tourism during the year.

Revenues from SafePoint amounted to approximately 7 percent (7) of the segment's total revenues. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was approximately 18 percent (19).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 987 million (516) and the operating margin was 10.9 percent (7.0). Increased revenue in combination with the steps that Loomis took early on to compensate for the temporarily lower volumes after the pandemic broke out provided clear results. Inflation and issues with supply chain impacted the margin temporarily. The operations acquired in Switzerland in 2021 are being integrated according to plan and providing synergies.

Revenue and income – USA

Quarter 3

Revenue amounted to SEK 3,542 million (2,473) and real growth was 16.1 percent (14.1). Organic growth amounted to 15.2 percent (13.8). Similar to previous quarters, the operations in USA continued to show good growth. Revenue from all offerings grew and SafePoint continued to show increased volumes.

Revenue for the quarter from SafePoint accounted for approximately 19 percent (18) of the segment's total revenue, while ATMs accounted for around 23 percent (25).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 488 million (359) and the operating margin was 13.8 percent (14.5). The lower operating margin is primarily due to the current challenges in the labor market and issues with supply chain. The margin has increased sequentially compared to the second quarter. In order to maintain both a high growth rate and a high level of service, cost for overtime have been high during the quarter.

Cost for fuel amounts to 4 percent (3) of revenue.

Nine months

Revenue amounted to SEK 9,650 million (7,055) and real growth was 16.2 percent (12.3). Organic growth amounted to 15.3 percent (12.0). Revenue from all offerings grew and SafePoint in particular saw increased volumes.

Revenue for the first nine months from SafePoint accounted for approximately 19 percent (18) of the segment's total revenue, while ATMs accounted for around 24 percent (25).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,288 million (1,085) and the operating margin was 13.3 percent (15.4). The lower operating margin is primarily due to the current challenges in the labor market and issues with the supply chain. In order to maintain both a high growth rate and a high level of service, overtime cost have temporarily been high. The turnover of employees in USA continues to be high. The USA operations have hired new employees during the first nine months and are focusing on training new employees.

Cost for fuel amounts to 4 percent (3) of revenue.

Revenue and income – Loomis Pay

Quarter 3

Revenue amounted to SEK 6 million (3) and transaction volumes grew 66 percent in the quarter.

Loomis Pay is currently available in the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian markets and a pilot has been initiated in Spain. The ambition is to launch in Spain during the fourth quarter 2022. Interacting with customers, building up the local sales organizations and continued development of the service offering are prioritized areas.

The segment's operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK –36 million (–36).

Nine months

Revenue amounted to SEK 15 million (6). The transaction volumes grew 97 percent during the first nine months of the year.

Focus during the year has been on further developing the Loomis Pay product, both to have a platform that can be passported to additional markets, but also local adaptations to the product for individual markets. The most recent adaptation has been for the pilot in the Spanish market.

The segment's operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK (–137) million (–101).

Sustainability

Transformation of vehicle fleet

– for safety and lower emissions During the third quarter, Loomis has continued to invest in electric vehicles. USA increased the number of electric armored vehicles on the roads with additional vehicles rolled out in New York and California. The remainder of USA's ordered electric vehicles are expected to be in operations before the end of the year. Electric vehicles have also been put in operations in the UK during the quarter and similar initiatives are underway throughout Europe.

Loomis USA is in parallel shifting the fleet to lighter vehicles customized with high security features. As such, upgrading to lighter vehicles does not only lead to reduced emissions, but they also increase employee safety. These vehicles currently account for more than 25 percent of the vehicles in USA. Loomis will continue to invest in lighter vehicles with high security content as the vehicle fleet is renewed.

Emphasis on training

On behalf of customers, Loomis' employees handle great responsibilities daily and as such play a crucial part in Loomis' risk management work. It is critical to have the right competence and a security mindset as well as high integrity, ethics, and morals. Loomis employees consistently and routinely participate in safety and security trainings. The purpose is to ensure that employees on all levels understand and are equipped to manage the risks associated with the business and stay safe.

Carbon emissions, tCO2e Scope1

During the third quarter, the annual training in the Code of Conduct was updated and launched. This training is mandatory for all employees, including part-time, and is aimed to ensure high business ethics, care for employees, and concern for the environment.

Cash flow and investments

Nine months 2022

Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 1,732 million (1,187), equivalent to 87 percent (87) of operating income (EBITA).

Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –965 million (–703), which can be compared with depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 1,017 million (916). Investments made during the period were mainly in buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment. Investments in relation to depreciation (including IFRS 16) for the period amounted to 0.6 (0.5).

Capital employed and financial position

Capital employed

The total capital employed as of September 30, 2022 amounted to SEK 20,329 million (17,070 as of December 31, 2021), which is equivalent to approximately 85 percent (88) of revenue. Return on capital employed amounted to 12.7 percent (11.1).

Shareholders' equity and financing

Shareholders' equity increased during the nine-month period by SEK 3,202 million, amounting to SEK 13,265 million as of September 30, 2022 (10,063 as of December 31, 2021). The increase is largely explained by translation differences of SEK 2,661 million, net profit for the period of SEK 1,094 million and actuarial gains of SEK 650 million less dividend of SEK 628 million and share repurchase of SEK 400 million. The return on shareholders' equity was 11 percent (9) and the equity ratio was 41 percent (34).

Net debt amounted to SEK 7,064 million as of September 30, 2022 (7,007 as of December 31, 2021) and net debt/EBITDA amounted to 1.5 (1.8 as of December 31, 2021).

As of September 30, 2022 the long-term loan facilities totaled around SEK 8.2 billion and the short-term loan facilities totaled around SEK 2.1 billion. Unutilized loan facilities amounted to around SEK 4.9 billion, of which SEK 0.8 billion are used as back-up for outstanding commercial papers. In the third quarter SEK 1,750 million of long-term loans with maturities within 12 months was reclassified as short-term liabilities. Available liquid funds amounted to around SEK 2.2 billion (see Note 6).

Other events

Significant events during the period

The board of directors of Loomis AB resolved, and communicated, on July 21, 2022, to continue to repurchase own shares during the third quarter 2022. The repurchase of shares commenced on July 25, 2022 and ended on September 28, 2022.

During the third quarter, the company has repurchased 704,000 own shares. The company's total holding of own shares thereby amounts to 2,961,782. The total number of shares in the company, including the company's own shares, amounts to 75,279,829.

On September 7 it was announced that Loomis AB has signed a SEK 600 million loan agreement with the Nordic Investment Bank. The loan has an eight-year term with a linear amortization starting four years after disbursement. Loomis will use the proceeds from the loan to finance investments, in the period up to 2025, supporting its ongoing digital transformation, including for example investments in IT infrastructure and further enhancing Loomis' customer offering.

Other events

As disclosed in the interim report for the second quarter, a Spanish court rendered in June this year a decision to fully uphold Loomis' appeal and annulled the Spanish national competition authority's decision from 2016 to impose fines on Loomis amounting to approx. EUR 7 million for alleged market sharing. Following the expiration of the appeal period, the court's decision has now become final. Loomis will hence recover the fine of approx. EUR 7 million (plus interest) which will improve cash flow but is not expected to have any significant impact on the result.

Events after the end of the period

On October 27 it was announced that the Board of Directors of Loomis AB has resolved to continue the repurchase of own shares that was initiated earlier this year. The repurchase may commence on October 31 2022, end no later than December 30, 2022, and comprise an amount up to a maximum of SEK 200 million.

In connection with the introduction of the change in the format of presentation, SEK 31 million relating to amortization of intangible assets has been moved from sales and administration costs to production costs and thereby reduced gross profit by the corresponding amount in quarter 3 2021. For the full year 2021, the reclassification is SEK 126 million. In addition, a correction was made in the first half of 2021, where production costs were reduced by SEK 59 million and sales and administration costs increased correspondingly.

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 (IFRIC).

This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The most important accounting principles according to IFRS, which are the accounting standards used in the preparation of this interim report, are described in the 2021 Annual Report.

New or changed standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2022 are not expected to have any material effect on the Group's financial statements.

As of April 1, 2022 Loomis has implemented IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, for the operations in Turkey. The financial statements for the subsidiary in Turkey have therefore been adjusted for inflation to reflect the changes in purchasing power. The inflation adjustments have been made with the Turkish consumer price index with a base period of 2003=100. The consumer price index was 1,046.9 as of September 30, 2022 and 686.9 as of December 31, 2021. Since the Loomis Group's reporting currency is SEK and thus not a currency in a hyperinflationary economy, the comparative figures have not been adjusted.

In connection with the preparation of the interim report for the 'first quarter, the presentation format for the consolidated income statement has been changed as an adjustment for expected future amendments to IAS 1. The following amendments have been made: i) The partial summary with EBITDA has been removed but can, as previously, be found in the section Alternative performance measures ii) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and Acquisition-related costs and revenue are now included in the relevant functional lines (mainly production costs for the amortization). iii) A new line for Other income and expense is introduced where now the acquisition-related expenses are included. The item Other income and expense may also include capital gains / losses on the sale of fixed assets, or the like, that are not related to the period's regular sales operations. iv) The format has been changed so that Other comprehensive income is now stated directly in the statement of total comprehensive income (which Loomis calls "Income statement") and not in a separate statement as previously. The effect of the recalculation on gross income is stated in a note in connection with the income statement.

Following the IFRIC agenda decision addressing cloud computing arrangement, the group has reclassified previously capitalized costs for such arrangements to prepaid cost to be expensed over the term of the contract.

Critical estimates and assessments

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 99–100 and 130 of the 2021 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.

NOTE 2 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Risks

Loomis' operations, which include cash in transit, cash management services, international valuables logistics, FX and the payment platform Loomis Pay, involve Loomis assuming the customer's risks associated with managing, transporting and storing cash, precious metals and valuables. Loomis has established routines and processes to identify, take action to mitigate and monitor risks. Risks are assessed based on two criteria: the likelihood that an event will occur and the severity of the consequences for the business if the event should occur. There are risks both in terms of circumstances pertaining to Loomis itself and 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 worsened customer 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.
  • Process risk: the risk that processes or routines fail, are no longer relevant or are not followed.
  • Competition risk, such as Loomis' ability to develop competitive offerings.
  • Employee risk, such as unhappiness and low motivation
  • increasing the risk for underperformance and human error.
  • 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.
  • Credit risk pertaining to financial and commercial activities.
  • Financing risk relating to the company's financing needs.
  • Liquidity risk associated with short-term solvency.
  • Capital risk pertaining to the capital structure.

• Price risk regarding changes in raw material prices (mainly fuel). The financial risks are described in more detail in Note 22 in the 2021 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 covid-19 pandemic that broke out in early 2020 had a negative effect on the world economy during 2020 and 2021. The postpandemic economic recovery during 2022 coupled with geopolitical uncertainties have led to higher inflation and interest rates in many markets where Loomis operates. The exact impact that the changing macroeconomic situation will have is unforeseeable, but it cannot be ruled out that it may have a negative effect on Loomis' earnings and financial position.

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 2022 the actual financial results of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the 2021 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. The Loomis Pay payment platform was introduced in autumn 2020 and will be rolled out country by country, but the Pay segment is monitored centrally by a segment 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 and Latin America, USA, Loomis Pay and Group-wide functions. Presidents for the segments are responsible for following up the segments' operating income before amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisitionrelated 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.

Alternative performance measures

Use of alternative performance measures

To support Group Management and other stakeholders to analyze the Group's financial performance, Loomis reports certain performance measures that are not defined by IFRS. Group Management believes that this information facilitates analysis of the Group's performance. The Loomis Group primarily uses the following alternative performance measures (see also Definitions on page 23 for a full list of measures):

  • Real growth and Organic growth in sales
  • Operating income (EBITA) and Operating margin (EBITA), %
  • Cash flow from operating activities as % of operating income (EBITA)
  • Net debt and Net debt/EBITDA
  • Equity ratio, %
  • Capital employed and Return on capital employed
  • Return on shareholders' equity

Cash flow from operating activities as % of operating income (EBITA)

Loomis' main measure of cash flow (cash flow from operating activities) focuses on the current cash flow from operating activities based on EBITA adding back amortization/depreciation and the effect of changes in accounts receivable, as well as changes in other working capital and other items. Cash flow from operating activities reflects the cash flow that the operating activities generate before payments of financial items, income tax, items affecting comparability, acquisitions and divestments, as well as dividends and changes in the Group's net debt. Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of operating income (EBITA) illustrates the cash conversion that Loomis has, i.e. how recognized earnings have resulted in cash flow.

Loomis provides an alternative presentation of cash flow which includes cash flow from operating activities adjusted for the impact of IFRS 16 Leases. This is presented on page 12 of this report.

Real growth and Organic growth in sales

Since Loomis generates most of its revenue in currencies other than the reporting currency (i.e. Swedish kronor, SEK) and exchange rates have historically proved to be relatively volatile, and since the Group has made a number of acquisitions, sales growth is presented both as exchange rate adjusted and adjusted for both exchange rate fluctuations and effects from acquisitions. This makes it possible to analyze and explain growth excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions.

Exchange rate effects 1,698 11.8

Operating income (EBIT) before items affecting comparability, Operating income (EBITA) and Operating margin (EBITA), %

Loomis' internal control of operating activities is focused on the operating income that is created within and can be impacted by local operating activities. For this reason Loomis has chosen to focus on earnings and margins before interest, taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible fixed assets, acquisition-related costs and revenue, and items affecting comparability.

Net debt and Net debt/EBITDA

Net debt is an important concept to understand a company's financing structure and leverage. Net debt is the net of interestbearing liabilities and assets, and is used together with shareholders' equity to finance the Group's capital employed. Loomis excludes funds within cash processing operations and financing of funds within cash processing operations (so-called stock funding) from the definition of net debt. The financial leverage is measured by calculating net debt as percentage of operating income after adding back amortization and depreciation, i.e. net debt/EBITDA.

Capital employed and Return on capital employed, %

Capital employed is a measure of how much capital is tied up in operating activities and that is therefore expected to generate returns in the form of operating income. Capital employed is equivalent to the sum of all financing in the form of net debt and shareholders' equity. Loomis includes funds within cash processing operations and financing of funds within cash processing operations (so-called stock funding) in the definition of capital employed.

Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Loomis AB (publ) for the period January 1 – September 30, 2022. 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.
