Highest revenue ever and highest operating profit for a second quarter

Reported revenue is the highest ever and operating profit continues to grow during the second quarter. Loomis' strong development is supported by the opening of societies post the pandemic in Europe, and continued success for SafePoint in the USA. Loomis Pay transaction volumes show an encouraging development, and we have now initiated a pilot in Spain.

The Group's second quarter organic growth was 16.1 percent (+17.3) and operating margin (EBITA %) was 10.0 percent (9.0). In terms of organic growth Loomis Group have now reported three consecutive quarters with higher revenue than before the pandemic started. Excluding Loomis Pay, operating margin is 10.8 percent (9.6). The quarter's positive development confirms Loomis strength despite significant macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.

Stable demand for cash and payments in uncertain times

Consumers return to shops and restaurants after the lookdowns, which has a positive overall impact on Loomis' business. So does the increased travel and tourism and our FX business shows very strong growth.

Post-pandemic economic recovery and global insecurity are pushing higher

inflation and interest rates. The basic need for cash and payments solutions is vital in our society and Loomis has proven to have a stable business model during macroeconomic uncertain times.

Loomis is affected by supply chain issues, in combination with the challenges posed by the labor shortage in both Europe and the USA. Securing a high level of service quality to Loomis' customers is always our highest priority and currently this commitment results in increased labor costs for overtime.

Loomis' segments show positive development

Within Segment USA, organic revenue grew by 15.7 percent (20.2) in the second quarter. The steady increase in recurring revenues from SafePoint continues and the operating margin in the USA amounted to 13.2 percent (15.5). Our staff deficit is now decreasing, but margins are still impacted by additional costs. We are now focusing on training the new employees.

The positive trend in Segment Europe continued as activities in retail, restaurants, and travel pick up fast. Our organic revenue in the second quarter grew by 16.8 percent (14.2). Operating margin in Europe was 10.3 percent (6.0). The trend in Segment Europe is very encouraging.

Today Loomis Pay is available in Denmark, Sweden and through a partnership in Norway. Market reception has been positive and transaction volumes continue to increase, which has encouraged us to now start a pilot in Spain. Loomis is the only payment service provider who is able to fully manage cash, cards, and other kinds of payments.

Great possibilities ahead

I took over as President and CEO of Loomis on May 23. It is a company that I know well after four years as CEO of Loomis US and another four years as

+16% Organic growth

+21% EPS growth

Country President in Spain. The opportunity to take on this role is a great honor. I feel strongly for the company and have a genuine confidence in what the organization is capable of. I am also certain that we will be able to take advantage of our strong market position and grasp the great opportunities we see.

My mission is clear; it is to implement Loomis' updated strategy. Loomis has a unique position in the centre of the payment ecosystem. A high level of customer trust and a continued outsourcing trend give us good opportunities to take our business to the next level. The strong position also gives us the opportunity to add new services that can simplify our customers' everyday lives and place Loomis higher up in their value chain.

I look forward to working with customers, colleagues, investors, and other partners to realize our strategy based on our strong market position, and to achieve our financial goals as well as our ambitious sustainability targets.

Quarter 2

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,007 million (2,456). Real growth, which was 18.9 percent (25.0), was somewhat positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of the cash handling operations of Swiss Post in May 2021. Organic growth was 16.8 percent (14.2). Overall, there were no restrictions compared with the second quarter 2021 and societies have opened after the pandemic, leading to strong growth in cash volumes including foreign exchange for tourists.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 309 million (148) and the operating margin was 10.3 percent (6.0). Increased revenue in combination with the steps that Loomis took early on to compensate for the temporarily lower volumes after the pandemic broke out are providing clear results. Inflation and issues with supply chain impacts margin temporarily. The operations acquired in Switzerland in 2021 are being integrated according to plan and resulting in good synergy effects.

Real growth, which was 20.1 percent (2.5), was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of the cash handling operations of Swiss Post in May 2021.

In January and the beginning of February this year this segment was negatively affected to some extent by restrictions relating to the Omicron variant. Growth improved from the second half of February and in March once restrictions were eased.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 551 million (217) and the operating margin was 9.5 percent (4.6).

Sustainability

Solar panel expansion in Spanish branches

Thanks to the continuous work on optimization and improvements Loomis' energy consumption has continuously decreased since 2018. Given the current instability in EU and the increase in energy prices it is important to note that the shift towards renewable energy will not only contribute to reducing Loomis' footprint but also reduce dependency of fossil fuels.

In Spain, extensive work has been done to install solar cells on the roof of Loomis' premises around the country. The first panels, in Barcelona, were installed a year ago and have so far performed according to expectation. During this quarter, three additional solar units have been mounted on the roofs of the Spanish branches, Malaga, Madrid and Alicante. All three installations are up and running since the end of May.

Loomis' total installed capacity of solar panels in Spain is expected to generate an electricity production of 535 MWh/

year, which is 10% of Loomis Spain's total energy usage and will reduce Loomis' emissions by 107 tCO2e per year.

Continued electrification of fleet

Loomis' main climate impact comes from the vehicle fleet. Hence, reduction of fleet emissions is a main priority in Loomis' sustainability efforts. To limit emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, Loomis is switching to lighter vehicles as well as incorporating electrical and hybrid vehicles into the fleet where possible.

After supporting a trial of electrification of armored vehicles in the USA Loomis purchased 20 electrified armored vehicles at the beginning of 2021. Given the shortage of components and challenges with infrastructure the delivery of those vehicles were delayed. The US business now have 8 electrical armored trucks on the road in Charlotte, Houston and California and the reminder of the ordered vehicles are expected to be in operation before the end of the year. In Spain, the first electrical van

has been taken into operations. Similar initiatives are underway throughout Europe.

CSR

Loomis UK are actively working with and fundraising for this year's chosen charity "Macmillan Cancer Support". During the quarter they have arranged several different events. On the 16th of June, a successful charity day was held in the Nottingham branch.The raised funds will be matched by Loomis at the end of the year.

Cash flow and investments

January – June 2022

Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 821 million (632), equivalent to 72 percent (80) of operating income (EBITA).

Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –626 million (–417), which can be compared with depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 669 million (608). 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 at the end of the second quarter was SEK 19,275 million (17,070 as of December 31, 2021), which is equivalent to around 86 percent (88) of revenue. Return on capital employed amounted to 12 percent (11).

Shareholders' equity and financing

Shareholders' equity increased in the second quarter by SEK 1,673 million, amounting to SEK 11,737 million as of June 30, 2022 (10,063 as of December 31, 2021). The increase is largely explained by translation differences of SEK 1,570 million, net profit for the period of SEK 591 million and actuarial gains of SEK 442 million less dividend of SEK 628 million and share repurchase of SEK 200 million. The return on shareholders' equity was 11 percent (9) and the equity ratio was 38 percent (35).

Net debt amounted to SEK 7,538 million as of June 30, 2022 (7,007 as of December 31, 2021) and net debt/EBITDA amounted to 1.73 (1.81 as of December 31, 2021).

Available liquid funds amounted to around SEK 2.3 billion (see Note 7).

Other events

Significant events during the period

On April 12 it was announced that Loomis AB had issued an additional SEK 300 million of sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs). The interest on the bonds is variable and based on three months' Stibor plus a credit margin of 1.48 percentage points. The proceeds will be used for operating activities and to refinance loans. This will involve an increase in the existing SLB program which

matures on November 30, 2026. As with the SLBs issued previously, the new bonds will be listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Sustainable Bond List.

On May 4 2022, Loomis AB held its Annual General Meeting. The Meeting resolved in accordance with the proposals presented by the Board and Nomination Committee, respectively. For information on the decisions made by the Annual General Meeting please refer to the press release published on the same day, which is available on Loomis' website, www.loomis.com.

On May 5 the board of directors of Loomis AB resolved to exercise the authorization to repurchase shares, granted by the annual general meeting on May 4, 2022.

Loomis AB has through the repurchase program that was resolved and communicated on May 5, 2022, and ended on June 22, 2022, repurchased 824,000 own shares at an average price of SEK 242.67 per share, or in total approximately SEK 200 million. The company's holding of own shares thereby amounts to 2,257,782 shares, as of June 30, 2022. The total amount of shares in the company, including the company's own shares, amount to 75,279,829.

The Board of Directors of Loomis AB has, as previously announced, appointed Aritz Larrea as new President and CEO of the company. Aritz took up his position on May 23, 2022.

On June 28 it was announced that Loomis AB issued a sustainability-linked bond loan to Svensk Exportkredit (SEK) of SEK 300 million. The bond loan has a term of 4 years maturing in June 2026 and a floating interest rate. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Other events

Loomis disclosed in 2016, and in subsequent annual reports, that Loomis' Spanish subsidiary had been fined approx. EUR 7 million by the Spanish national competition authority (CNMC) for alleged market sharing. Loomis appealed the decision the same year maintaining that Loomis had acted in compliance with the laws in effect and accordingly disagreed with the content of the decision and the fine imposed. On June 29, 2022, a Spanish court rendered a decision to fully uphold Loomis' appeal and annulled CNMC's decision from 2016. CNMC may still appeal the Spanish court's decision. Should the decision now rendered become final, Loomis will recover the fine of approx. EUR 7 million (and 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 July 21 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 July 25, 2022, end not later than on September 28, 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 2 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.

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 corona pandemic that broke out in early 2020 had a negative effect on the world economy and the economy also in 2021. For Loomis, this meant deteriorating conditions in a number of markets, especially in Europe. It cannot be ruled out that the pandemic may have a negative effect on Loomis' earnings and financial position in the remaining part of 2022.

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 913 9.9

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.
