Comments from the President and CEO

"Solid performance in all business segments"

We delivered good performance throughout the business with an operating margin of 6.9 percent (6.6) in the second quarter, with an improved margin development in our European operations. In accordance with our strategy, the Group's operating margin was supported by strong improvement both in security services and in technology and solutions.

Organic sales growth was 5 percent. Real sales growth in our technology and solutions business was good at 8 percent excluding the impact from the divestment of Securitas Argentina, supporting the mix change into higher margin business lines.

Operating cash flow in the second quarter improved compared to last year in line with our expectations after the weaker first quarter. We are in a solid position to deliver a strong fullyear 2024 outcome.

SHAPING SECURITAS FOR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE SHAREHOLDER VALUE

We are shaping Securitas for long-term sustainable shareholder value, and the core of that execution is operational value creation through growth in technology and solutions, portfolio profitability in security services, cost efficiency and digital innovation.

Our portfolio management activities are generating good traction, as evidenced by the profitability development of our security services portfolio. New business continue to come in at higher margins. The recovery in the airport security business in Europe also supported.

Two years after the acquisition of STANLEY Security our global Technology business is stronger than ever before. Based on our leading global market position and our unique client offering, we delivered healthy organic sales growth of 8 percent in Technology in the second quarter. Today, we have more than BSEK 1.25 of recurring monthly revenue in the strategically important and highmargin monitoring and maintenance business which, together with effectively driving best practices and executing cost synergies, have supported a significantly increased operating margin since the closing of the acquisition.

With the majority of the integration activities completed in North America and with good progress in Europe we can accelerate our focus on commercial activities to continue growing the business going forward.

UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION PARTNERING WITH OUR CLIENTS

We are driving a client-centric transformation of Securitas to provide the most compelling value proposition in the security industry. With elevated global uncertainty and an increased threat environment, clients are looking for a future-oriented partner with deep security expertise who can support

in shaping their security programs for the years to come. Our long-term partnership approach combined with our presence, technology and digital capabilities are important differentiators that make us the partner of choice for our clients.

Last month, we signed the first global vested contract in the industry with a technology company where we together will develop their security program leveraging our full offering.

To sharpen our performance and competitive position further we also continue to assess our business mix and presence.

Our performance in the second quarter and the confidence from our clients confirm that we are on the right path, and we remain committed to achieve the target of 8 percent operating margin by the end of 2025.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED AS OF JUNE 30, 2024

The net working capital was MSEK 11 248 (7 090 as of December 31, 2023), corresponding to 7 percent of sales, adjusted for the full-year sales of acquired and divested entities (5 as of December, 2023). The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 22 810 (18 371 as of December 31, 2023). The translation of foreign operating capital employed to Swedish kronor increased the Group's operating capital employed by MSEK 770.

The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 81 658 (74 228 as of December 31, 2023). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish krona increased the Group's capital

employed by MSEK 3 412. The return on capital employed was 13 percent (14 as of December 31, 2023).

FINANCING AS OF JUNE 30, 2024

The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 41 867 (37 530 as of December 31, 2023). The net debt was impacted mainly by the free cash flow of MSEK –930, a dividend of MSEK –1 089, paid to the shareholders in May 2024, translation differences of MSEK –1 735 and payments for items affecting comparability of MSEK –545.

The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.9 (3.3*). The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.10 (0.08). The interest coverage ratio amounted to 4.0 (5.3).

Standard & Poor's rating of Securitas is BBB with stable outlook.

Further information regarding financial instruments and credit facilities is provided in note 9.

Cash flow from financing activities was MSEK –1 230 (–70), due to dividend paid of MSEK –1 089 (–1 003) and a net decrease in borrowings of MSEK –141 (933). A second dividend payment of MSEK –1 088 (–974) will be made during the fourth quarter of 2024. The total dividend amounts to MSEK 2 177 (1 977).

Cash flow for the period was MSEK –2 859 (–863).

Other significant events

For critical estimates and judgments, provisions and contingent liabilities refer to the Annual Report 2023 and to note 11. If no significant events have occurred relating to the information in the Annual Report no further comments are made in the Interim Report for the respective case.

UNITED STATES – GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION

As communicated in Securitas Annual Report 2023 Securitas is aware that the US Government is conducting an investigation into Paragon Systems, Inc., a Securitas' subsidiary within the business unit Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services, related to its relationship with various small business entities which were a direct or indirect party to contracts with

the US Government. The investigation relates to alleged misconduct by certain former Paragon employees. Paragon is cooperating fully with the investigation which is still ongoing. While it cannot be excluded, the Group assesses, based on the information currently available, that neither the result nor the financial position of the Group will be materially affected by the investigation.

Risks and uncertainties

Risk management is necessary for Securitas to be able to fulfill its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives. Securitas' risks fall into three main categories: operational risks, financial risks and strategic risks and opportunities. Securitas' approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report 2023.

In the preparation of financial reports, the Board of Directors and Group Management make estimates and judgments. These impact the statement of income and balance sheet as well as disclosures such as contingent liabilities. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgments under different circumstances and conditions.

Risks related to the general macro-economic environment with the increase in inflation, interest rates, deteriorating insurance market, labor shortages and supply chain issues together with the changed geopolitical situation in the world, litigation environment in the US, increased cyber

security threats and lingering effects from the corona pandemic makes it difficult to predict the economic development of the different markets and geographies in which we operate.

On July 22, 2022, Securitas completed the acquisition of STANLEY Security. The acquisition and integration of new companies always carry certain risks. The profitability of the acquired company may be lower than expected and/or certain costs in connection with the acquisition may be higher than expected.

Our transformation programs in Europe and Ibero-America are still in the execution phase in 2024. The implementation and rollout of new systems and platforms to support this transformation naturally carry a risk in terms of potential disruptions to our operations that could result in a negative impact on our result, cash flow and financial position. This is mitigated by solid change management and a phased rollout on a country-by-country basis over a longer period.

The geopolitical situation in the world has changed radically with Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022 and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. We have no operations either in Russia or in Ukraine and very limited presence in Israel, but we follow the development closely and contribute to a safer society where we can.

For the forthcoming six-month period, the financial impact of the general macro-economic environment described above, the acquisition and integration of STANLEY Security including increased interest rates for the acquisition-funding, the integration and implementation of new platforms as part of our transformation programs and STANLEY Security integration, as well as certain items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report 2023 and, where applicable, under the heading Other significant events above, may vary from the current financial estimates and provisions made by management. This could affect the Group's profitability and financial position.

Review report

This is a translation from the Swedish original

Securitas AB (publ), corporate identity number 556302-7241

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Securitas AB as at June 30, 2024, and for the six months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish 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 Statements 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

Security services

This comprises on-site and mobile guarding, which are services with the same revenue recognition pattern. Revenue is recognized over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the client. Such services cannot be reperformed.

Technology and solutions

This comprises two broad categories regarding technology and solutions. Technology consists of the sale of alarm, access control and video installations comprising design, installation and integration (time, material and related expenses). Revenue is recognized as per the contract, either upon completion of the conditions in the contract, or over time based on the percentage of completion. Remote guarding (in the form of alarm monitoring services), that is sold separately and not as part of a solution, is also included in this category. Revenue recognition is over time as this is also a service that is rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the clients. The category further includes maintenance services, that are either performed upon request (time and material) with revenue recognition at a point in time (when the work has been performed), or over time if part of a service level contract with a subscription fee. Finally, there are also

product sales (alarms and components) without any design or installation. The revenue recognition is at a point in time (upon delivery).

Solutions are a combination of services such as on-site and/or mobile guarding and/or remote guarding. These services are combined with a technology component in terms of equipment owned and managed by Securitas and used in the provision of services. The equipment is installed at the client site. The revenue recognition pattern is over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the client. A solution normally constitutes one performance obligation.

Risk management services

This comprises various types of risk management services that are either recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the type of service. These services include risk advisory, security management, executive protection, corporate investigations, due diligence and similar services.

Other operating income

Other operating income consists mainly of trade mark fees for the use of the Securitas brand name.
