We continue to grow in both Europe and the USA

Recently the news has been dominated by the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine. Loomis has no operations in Ukraine or Russia, and the war has no direct impact on our business volumes, but we, of course, sympathize with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
New ambitious targets
On March 23 we held a virtual Capital Markets Day at which we presented an updated strategy, new financial targets and our sustainability targets. The strategy we presented extends from 2022 to 2024. Our ambition is to accelerate our core business and continue to advance further up the value chain by increasing our focus on services with recurring revenue, combining physical and digital customer offerings, being the leading actor within ESG in the market and continuing to develop the Loomis Model.
Briefly, our financial targets for the strategy period are average real growth of 5–8 percent per year and an operating margin (EBITA) of between 12 and 14 percent for 2024. Loomis's dividend policy, with 40–60 percent of the net income for the year being distributed to the shareholders, is unchanged.
Our sustainability targets are highly prioritized and involve reducing our carbon emissions in Scope 1 and 2 combined by 15 percent compared with 2019 levels. We have also set a target regarding employee work injury rate involving a reduction of 15 percent compared with 2021.
Sustained good growth
We are experiencing a clear growth trend at this time. Throughout 2021 the pandemic had a negative impact on travel and tourism, but we are seeing good growth opportunities now that the situation in society is becoming fully normalized. The first quarter did, however, begin somewhat slowly as the effects of the restrictions in response to the Omicron variant had a significantly negative impact on large parts of Europe. The Omicron variant also impacted our business in the USA, where the rate of employees on sick leave increased temporarily. In the second half of February the negative effects of the pandemic decreased in both Europe and the USA. Growth and the operating margin both picked up speed again in Europe. In the USA we saw a continuation of the good growth we have reported over a long period and the operating margin once again developed in a positive direction in the latter part of February and in March.
First quarter revenue for our US operations exceeded the level in Q1 2019 by 21 percent and in Europe, organic revenue amounted to 91 percent of the 2019 level.
The Group's first quarter real growth was 18 percent (–6), of which organic growth was 15 percent (–9). The Group's operating margin (EBITA %) was 9.2 percent (8.0) in the first quarter. As anticipated, Loomis Pay negatively impacted income, and excluding Loomis Pay, the operating margin was 10.0 percent (8.7).
SafePoint's positive development in the USA continues and organic revenue for SafePoint increased by just over 21 percent during the quarter. The US operations as a whole saw revenue growth in local currency of 15 percent during the quarter.
The first quarter operating margin in the USA amounted to 13.0 percent (16.2). As has been the case in past quarters, the operating margin was lower than in the previous quarters due to the structural challenges that currently exist in the US labor market. Good growth and a high level of service to our customers are prioritized. As a result, as we grow, the level
+15% Organic growth
+52% EPS growth
of overtime will continue to increase. We are convinced that this is the right strategy and that our operating margin in the USA will rise once access to labor normalizes and overtime hours can be reduced.
I am delighted to see our continued growth in Segment Europe. Organic growth amounted to 15 percent in the first quarter. The operating margin was 8.7 percent (3.0) and we are well-equipped for margin improvement. The steps that Loomis took early on to compensate for the pandemic effects continued to yield good results. The acquisition in Switzerland in 2021 is also progressing well and contributes with clear synergy effects.
Many activities are currently under way in the countries where we have already launched Loomis Pay and preparations are now also fully in progress to launch Loomis Pay in an important market in continental Europe. We aim to be ready for the launch no later than Q3 this year.
We are now ready to shift up a gear and, with a clear strategy in place, I would like to hand over the baton to Loomis's next President and CEO, Aritz Larrea. Aritz will lead our continued transformation. I would like to thank all of our employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. I'm proud of having had the opportunity to lead Loomis during an exciting period.

Revenue and income – Group
Group – Quarter 1
Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 5,627 million (4,483). Real growth was 18 percent (–6), of which organic growth was 15 percent (–9). Revenue was primarily positively affected by higher sales in both Europe and the USA, and by the acquisition in Switzerland in May 2021. Revenues increased from all business lines but above all revenues increased for SafePoint. For the quarter, revenues from SafePoint amounted to approximately 13 percent (12) of the Group's total revenues. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was approximately 21 percent (22).
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 516 million (358) and the operating margin was 9.2 percent (8.0). The exchange rate effect on operating income during the quarter was approximately SEK 36 million.

Revenue and income – Europe and Latin America
Europe and Latin America – Quarter 1
Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 2,796 million (2,268). Real growth, which was 21 percent (–14), was positively affected by revenue attributable to the acquisition of the cash handling operations of Swiss Post in May 2021. Organic growth was 15 percent (–19). Overall, the restrictions were less extensive in the first quarter of this year than in Q1 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 in the second half of February and in March once restrictions were eased.
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 242 million (69) and the operating margin was 8.7 percent (3.0). 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 still providing clear results. Integration of the operations acquired in Switzerland in 2021 is proceeding according to plan and resulting in good synergy effects.

Revenue and income – USA
USA – Quarter 1
Revenue amounted to SEK 2,862 million (2,234) and real growth was 16 percent (3). Organic growth amounted to 15 percent (3). Similar to previous quarters, the US operations continued to show good growth. Revenue from all offerings grew and SafePoint in particular saw 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 24 percent (26).
The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 371 million (363) and the operating margin was 13.0 percent (16.2). The lower operating margin is primarily due to the current challenges in the US labor market. In order to maintain both a high growth rate and a high level of service, overtime will continue to increase temporarily resulting in higher cost levels. The assessment is that the operating margin can increase when access to labor improves.

Revenue and income – Loomis Pay
Loomis Pay – Quarter 1
Revenue amounted to SEK 3 million (2). The offering is currently available in the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian markets and the ambition is to roll out Loomis Pay in continental Europe in 2022. Dialogue with customers, building up of local sales organizations and continued development of the service offering are prioritized areas.
The segment's operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK –49 million (–32). Additional investments will be made in product development and other activities relating to Loomis Pay and the operating income will be negative for 2022 as a whole.

Sustainability
Sustainability targets
When a new strategy was presented, for the period 2022-2024, in the first quarter of 2022, the Company's sustainability framework and sustainability targets were updated. Loomis's updated sustainability strategy will strengthen inclusion and help ensure the right of all people to use whatever means of payment they choose. The focus in the years ahead will be on further reducing climate impact, being an ever more inclusive company and remaining a reliable partner that maintains the highest standards of integrity and compliance.
Environment
Loomis's vision is to reduce climate impact across the global organization by lowering emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources and working in cooperation with suppliers and customers. This will be done through an improved fuel mix, a greater share of
electric and hybrid vehicles in the fleet, increased use of self-produced and purchased renewable energy, and monitoring supplier climate targets. The target up to 2024 is a 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions in Scope 1 and 2 combined, compared with the levels 2019.
Social responsibility
Loomis's vision is to be an inclusive company that provides a safe, fair and diverse environment for its employees with zero tolerance for death and injuries. This will be done through proactive preventive measures with a focus on locally or globally recognized standards. The target up to 2024 is to reduce the rate of injuries by 15 percent compared to 2021.
Governance
Loomis's vision is to be a trusted partner that maintains the highest standards of integrity and adheres to a policy of zerotolerance for corruption and bribes. This
will be done by updating supplier agreements and education initiatives on a regular basis.
Cash flow and investments
January – March 2022
Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 177 million (342), equivalent to 34 percent (96) of operating income (EBITA).
Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –322 million (–173), which can be compared with depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 331 million (306). Investments made during the period were mainly in buildings, vehicles, machinery and equipment. Investments in relation to depreciation (excluding IFRS 16) for the period amounted to 1.0 (0.6).
Capital employed and financial position
Capital employed
The total capital employed at the end of the first quarter was SEK 17,856 million (17,070 as of December 31, 2021), which is equivalent to around 86 percent (87) of revenue. Return on capital employed amounted to 12 percent (12).
Shareholders' equity and financing
Shareholders' equity increased in the first quarter by SEK 815 million, amounting to SEK 10,878 million as of March 31, 2022 (10,063 as of December 31, 2021). The increase is largely explained by translation differences of SEK 333 million, net profit for the period of SEK 295 million and actuarial gains of SEK 206 million. The return on shareholders' equity was 11 percent (11) and the equity ratio was 38 percent (37).
Net debt amounted to SEK 6,979 million as of March 31, 2022 (7,007 as of December 31, 2021) and net debt/EBITDA amounted to 1.71 (1.81 as of December 31, 2021).
As of March 31, 2022 the long-term loan facilities totaled around SEK 8.3 billion and the short-term loan facilities totaled around SEK 0.4 billion. Unutilized loan facilities amounted to around SEK 4.5 billion, of which SEK 1.6 billion are used as back-up for outstanding commercial papers. Available liquid funds amounted to around SEK 1.9 billion (see Note 7).

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.
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.
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 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.
- 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. ForLoomis, 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's earnings and financial position even in 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, USA, Loomis Pay and Group-wide functions. Presidents for the segments 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.

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 24 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's 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 13 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEK m | Quarter 1 Quarter 1 | Growth Growth, % | ||
| Recognized revenue | 5,627 | 4,483 | 1,144 | 25.5 |

| Revenue, acquisitions | 169 | 3.8 | ||
| Real growth | 823 | 18.4 | ||
| Exchange rate effects | 321 | 7.2 |
Operating income (EBIT) before items affecting comparability, Operating income (EBITA) and Operating margin (EBITA), %
Loomis's 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.

| EBITA/Total revenue, % | 9.2 | 8.0 | 9.9 |
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.
