A solid quarter despite non-recurring items in Europe

For the third quarter 2023, Loomis reported record revenues of SEK 7.4 billion with solid organic growth for all segments. The performance in the US and Loomis Pay was strong while we had a challenging quarter for the segment Europe and Latin America. The Group's operating result (EBITA) amounted to 814 (845), corresponding to a margin of 11.0 (12.5).

Solid organic growth

Segment USA continued to grow at a strong rate during the quarter, with an organic growth of 6.1 percent. Revenues reached a record high SEK 3,842 million (3,542). Notably our automated solutions recorded yet another consecutive quarter with double-digit organic growth, and we are confident that we continue to take market share with our SafePoint solutions. Through a structured work on operational efficiencies and increasing productivity, the operating result (EBITA) increased to 547 (488), corresponding to a margin of 14.2 percent (13.8).

Segment Europe and Latin America reached record high revenues of SEK 3,588 million (3,244) with an organic growth of 6.3 percent. The operating profit (EBITA) of SEK 387 million (435), and corresponding margin of 10.8 percent (13.4), were negatively affected by nonrecurring items within the International and FX business lines. We are confident in our business and that these losses are

not structural in nature and thus nonrecurring.

We continue to see that our efforts within Loomis Pay are paying off in terms of both increased revenues and transaction volumes. Revenues reached SEK 15 million, with sharp growth within all three markets, both sequentially and compared to the previous year. We achieved transaction volumes above SEK 1.3 billion, which corresponds to a 94 percent increase compared to the previous year.

Strengthened position in automated solutions

I am pleased that we have now closed the acquisition of CIMA that we announced in the third quarter. CIMA brings a proven track record of innovation and R&D within cash automation and complements Loomis in terms of both product offering, technological solutions as well as geographic presence. Together, we will combine our strengths and capabilities to provide enhanced solutions and further develop best-in-class cash-handling automation solutions with the customer in mind. I welcome CIMA to the Loomis Group and look forward to our journey ahead.

Advancing within sustainability

We have committed to reducing our company's carbon emissions and to safeguard both our customers and employees. We can see that our sustainabilityrelated projects are moving forward. An initiative to install solar panels, for instance, has started in the US. Eventually, the solar panels should be able to meet around 20 percent of the energy needs of a US branch.

I am also pleased to share that in the third quarter, approximately 30 percent of our energy consumption came from renewable energy sources. I am proud of the actions we are taking within the organization and the progress we are making.

A strong business model

A true strength with our decentralized business model is our ability to quickly

react to the changes in local market conditions. The continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic concerns in the current climate have a dual impact on the markets we are in. While increased inflation may change consumptions patterns within the retail business, higher interest rates provide an incentive for financial institutions to move cash quicker which affects our business positively. The higher interest rate environment also impacts the demand for storage and transportation of cash and valuables, which affects our International business negatively. As always, we are monitoring how the changing environment may impact both our business and our customers and will continue to adapt the operations as needed. Our first and foremost responsibility will always be to ensure the safety of our employees.

We had a solid performance in the quarter, and I am proud of what we together as a team have achieved. It is evident that we play an important role in society in ensuring cash accessibility and efficient payment flows, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank our dedicated employees for their efforts.

Revenue and income – Europe and Latin America

Quarter 3 2023

Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 3,588 million (3,244). Real growth was 6.3 percent (16.4). Organic growth was 6.3 percent (16.4), where both volume and price contributed to the growth.

Recurring revenue increased in the quarter. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 27 percent (26) of the segment's total revenue, of which revenue from SafePoint amounted to 7 percent (7) of the revenue. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was 20 percent (19).

Most business lines had a strong revenue growth. Revenue for the International business declined organically compared to the previous year. The demand for storage of cash and valuables is affected negatively by the higher interest rate environment which has an impact on the International business.

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 387 million (435), corresponding to a margin of 10.8 percent (13.4). Volume growth, price adjustments and increased efficiencies had a positive impact on the operating income, however this was offset by two non-recurring items. The quarter contained a cost of SEK 61 million related to theft of valuables within the international operations. Additionally, a cost of SEK 17 million was recorded within the FX business line due to issues with a system implementation. The company is confident that these incidents are not structural in nature and thus non-recurring. Without these costs, the operating margin would have reached 13.0 percent.

The announced restructuring plan is progressing with a slight delay in implementation. Related costs in the quarter amounted to SEK −2 million.

Nine months 2023

Revenue for the period amounted to SEK 10,234 million (9,047). Real growth was 8.1 percent (18.7). Organic growth was 8.1 percent (16.0), where both volume and price contributed to the growth.

Recurring revenue increased in the period. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 27 percent (25) of the segment's total revenue, of which revenue from SafePoint amounted to 7 percent (7) of the revenue. The corresponding proportion for ATMs was 20 percent (18).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,049 million (987) and the operating margin increased to 10.3 percent (10.9). The margin was positively impacted by increased volumes, higher efficiencies and price adjustments but was offset by continued inflationary pressure and two non-recurring items within the International and FX business lines in the third quarter.

During the first quarter of 2023, a restructuring plan was initiated. The total expected restructuring costs amount to SEK 50−60 million, of which SEK 27 million have been recorded in the first nine months.

Quarter 3 2023

Revenue amounted to SEK 3,842 million (3,542) and real growth was 7.1 percent (16.1). Organic growth amounted to 6.1 percent (15.2). Similar to previous quarters, the operations in USA continued to show good volume growth. Revenue grew within most business lines, and with high growth for SafePoint in particular. Increased prices also contributed to the organic growth. The acquisition of AIB Express Logistics, which was closed during February, contributed to 1.0 percent of the total growth.

Recurring revenue increased in the quarter. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 44 percent (42) of the segment's total revenue, of which revenue from SafePoint accounted for 21 percent (19) of the segment's revenue, and ATMs accounted for 23 percent (23).

The operating income (EBITA) increased to SEK 547 million (488) thanks to a structured work on operational efficiencies. The operating margin increased to 14.2 percent (13.8). There are indications that the labor market in the US is easing which stabilizes the situation that the US operations has had with overtime, training and recruitment related costs.

Nine months 2023

Revenue amounted to SEK 11,137 million (9,650) and real growth was 9.3 percent (16.2). Organic growth amounted to 8.3 percent (15.3). Similar to previous quarters, the operations in USA continued to show good volume growth. Revenue from all offerings grew with high growth for SafePoint in particular. Increased prices also contributed to the organic growth. The acquisition of AIB Express Logistics, which was closed during February, contributed to 1.0 percent of the total growth.

Recurring revenue increased during the year. Revenue from SafePoint and ATM amounted to 44 percent (43) of the segment's total revenue, of which revenue from SafePoint accounted for 21 percent (19) of the segment's revenue, and ATMs accounted for 23 percent (24).

The operating income (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,562 million (1,288) and the operating margin was 14.0 percent (13.3). The margin was positively affected by the increased volumes and a structured work on operational effiencies. Higher costs related to overtime, recruitment and training during the first half year had a negative impact on the margin.

Sustainability

Sustainability is an integrated part of Loomis' business. The sustainability agenda rests on three areas: environmental, social, and governance with the short-term focus foremost on reducing the carbon footprint, work-related injuries and being an inclusive company and responsible business partner.

Since 2017, Loomis has carried out materiality analyses to ensure that the sustainability inititative focus on areas where Loomis can have the most impact. During the third quarter, Loomis has initiated a double materiality analysis to analyse the sustainability matters that are material not only from an impact perspective, but also from a financial perspective. Stakeholder dialogues have been held with both internal and external stakeholders. The outcome of the double materiality analysis will help set Loomis long-term efforts within sustainability going forward.

Loomis is continuously taking actions – both large and small – that not only minimize the environmental impact, but which are also beneficial to the business.

One way to do so is to increase the use of solar panels, which help to reduce both emissions and costs. In the Dallas branch in the US, a project has been initiated to install solar panels. Installation is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter. Once installed, the solar panels are estimated to produce 169 MWh annually, covering approximately 20 percent of the total energy needs for the Dallas branch.

In preparation for the roll-out of the ordered electric armored vehicles, several branches in the US are also investing in electric charging infrastructure.

Solar power and renewable energy is expected to become even more important going forward. The need for renewable energy will increase as Loomis phases out fossil fuels by switching to more sustainable, electrified solutions and vehicles. In the third quarter approximately 30 percent of Loomis' energy consumption came from renewable energy sources.

Cash flow and investments

January – September 2023

In connection with the change to a new group reporting system in the second quarter, a few errors occurred in the preparation of the statement of cash flows. The statement of cash flows for the first half of the year and the second quarter have been recalculated and restated. See pages 14 and 15 for restated reports and key figures.

Cash flow from operating activities, excluding the IFRS 16 effects, amounted to SEK 1,765 million (1,732), equivalent to 77 percent (87) of operating income (EBITA).

Net investments in fixed assets for the period amounted to SEK –1,413 million (–965), which can be compared with depreciation (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) of SEK 1,179 million (1,017). 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 0.7 (0.6).

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 2022 Annual Report.

New or changed standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2023 are not expected to have any material effect on the Group's financial statements.

Loomis has applied the IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies for the operations in Turkey and Argentina.

In connection with the change to a new group reporting system in the second quarter, a few errors occurred in the preparation of the statement of cash flows. The errors have been identified and corrected and the cash flow statements for the first half of the year and the second quarter have been recalculated. See pages 14 and 15 for restated reports and key figures.

Critical estimates and assessments

For critical estimates and assessments as well as contingent liabilities, please refer to pages 95 and 123 of the 2022 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 Risk management and key risks

Sound risk management is one of Loomis' most important success factors. Given Loomis' history and the nature of the service offering, the Company has extensive experience in managing risk and takes a structured and proactive approach throughout the organization, at both the local and central levels. Well-managed risk can create opportunities and add value to the business, while risk that is not efficiently managed can cause negative incidents and losses.

Loomis' risk management is an ongoing and iterative process. The risk environment changes over time and it is therefore necessary to continuously revisit, update and identify new risks. Risk management routines are integrated into the Group's business planning and performance monitoring. Significant processes are documented and any material risks associated with a specific process are identified and defined in a risk register. The annual risk assessment and the resulting risk register are coordinated and maintained at Group level.

Loomis is exposed to strategic, operational, legal and compliance, environment as well as financial risks. There are risks that pertain to Loomis itself and the industry as well as risks that are more general in nature. Risks that have been identified to be of key significance include payment market changes, data privacy, health and safety, attracting and retaining employees, internal fraud and corruption, information security, physical security, environment and climate, compliance, money laundering and financial risks.

For further information on risks, risk management and opportunities, see pages 74–78 of Loomis' Annual and Sustainability Report 2022.

Factors of uncertainty

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 2023 the actual financial outcome of certain previously reported items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2022 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.

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, 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 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 in the section Financial Reports in 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.

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, 2023. 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.
