COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The organic sales growth continued to be weak at 0 percent in the third quarter due to negative organic sales growth in North America and severe market conditions in France, Portugal and Spain.

We have achieved price increases on par with wage cost increases, and I remain confident that this also will be the case for the full year of 2012. The operating margin in the third quarter was 0.5 percent behind previous year. The market conditions in Spain and the margin decline in the U.S. operations are the main reasons, while Security Services Europe gradually is regaining margins.

The free cash flow for the first nine months improved compared to last year, but we will continue to be restrictive on acquisitions until we have restored the financial target of free cash flow to net debt of 0.20.

We have initiated measures to better align Securitas with future customer needs and expectations, and to further increase our investment pace in technology. The Mobile and Monitoring and Security Services Europe business segments will be merged to improve the coordination and speed of technology implementation. A cost savings program has been initiated in North America and in Europe, which is expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter. Total savings are estimated to approximately MSEK 300 per annum, effective as of January 1, 2013, and the restructuring cost will be approximately MSEK –360.

JULY–SEPTEMBER 2012

Sales and market development

Sales amounted to MSEK 16 474 (16 628) and organic sales growth was 0 percent (4). The organic sales growth in Security Services North America was negative due to lower growth in a few customer segments. Security Services Europe had positive organic sales growth, but was held back by negative development in France. In Mobile and Monitoring the organic sales growth was hampered mainly by lower new sales. Although the organic sales growth in Latin America was 19 percent, the organic sales growth was negative in Security Services Ibero-America due to the severe market situation in Spain and Portugal.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 3 percent (13).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 864 (947) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a decrease of –5 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 5.2 percent (5.7), a decline mainly explained by the development in Security Services North America and Security Services Ibero-America. In Security Services North America the performance in the customer segment federal government services and lower extra sales impacted negatively. In Security Services Ibero-America the operating margin deteriorated in Spain compared to the third quarter last year and compared to the first six months this year. The operating margin improved in Security Services Europe, supported by a positive price and wage balance in primarily France and Germany.

The price adjustments in the Group were on par with wage cost increases in the third quarter.

Operating income after amortization

Amortization and impairment of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK –96 (–56), of which impairment losses constitutes MSEK –26. For further information refer to the section Capital employed and financing below.

Acquisition related costs were MSEK 16 (–21), positively affected by a revaluation of deferred considerations in the quarter. For further information refer to note 4.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –143 (–129). The finance net has been negatively impacted by the increase in net debt as well as the early issue of a MEUR 300 Eurobond loan to benefit from favorable market conditions. This means that the Group in the short-term perspective will increase interest cost until the MEUR 500 Eurobond loan matures in April 2013.

Income before taxes

Income before taxes was MSEK 640 (740). The real change was –10 percent.

Taxes, net income and earnings per share

The Group's tax rate was 30.9 percent (29.9). The tax rate before non-deductible impairment losses was 29.7 percent.

Net income was MSEK 442 (519). Earnings per share, before items affecting comparability and impairment losses, were SEK 1.28. Earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.21 (1.42).

Group development

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2012

Sales and market development

Sales amounted to MSEK 49 707 (47 031) and organic sales growth was 0 percent (4). Security Services North America, Mobile and Monitoring and Security Services Ibero-America had lower organic sales growth compared to last year while Security Services Europe improved slightly. Organic sales growth in Latin America was 21 percent. The current macroeconomic climate is tough in many of the mature markets where Securitas operates, which is reflected in the lower organic sales growth in the Group, and the security industry is to a large extent a mirror picture of the GDP development.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 5 percent (12).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 2 330 (2 407) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented a decrease of –4 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 4.7 percent (5.1). In Security Services North America the operating margin declined mainly due to the development in the customer segment federal government services and in Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations. The operating margin in Security Services Ibero-America declined due to the negative development in Spain. Mobile and Monitoring was burdened mainly by delayed synergies from acquisitions and contract losses. The operating margin in Security Services Europe improved, supported by a good development in countries such as Belgium, France and Germany.

Operating income after amortization

Amortization and impairment of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK –227 (–154), of which impairment losses constitutes MSEK –26. For further information refer to the section Capital employed and financing below.

Acquisition related costs impacted the period by MSEK –49 (–100), positively affected by a revaluation of deferred considerations in the third quarter. For further information refer to note 4.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –425 (–359). The finance net has been negatively impacted by the increase in net debt, as well as the early issue of two Eurobonds totalling MEUR 650 to benefit from favorable market conditions. This means that the Group in the short-term perspective will increase interest cost until the MEUR 500 Eurobond loan matures in April 2013.

Income before taxes

Income before taxes was MSEK 1 628 (1 793). The real change was –10 percent.

Taxes, net income and earnings per share

The Group's tax rate was 30.2 percent (29.9). The tax rate before non-deductible impairment losses was 29.8 percent.

Net income was MSEK 1 136 (1 257). Earnings per share, before items affecting comparability and impairment losses, were SEK 3.18. Earnings per share amounted to SEK 3.11 (3.44).

July–September 2012

Organic sales growth was –1 percent (4) in the quarter, mainly due to the customer segment federal government services and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations. Last year strong extra sales in the quarter supported the organic sales growth. The sales of specialized security solutions as part of total sales amounted to 13 percent (7).

The operating margin was 5.2 percent (6.1). The main reasons for the operating margin decline derive from operational issues in the customer segment federal government services and negative topline growth, mainly explained by lower extra sales.

The U.S. dollar exchange rate has strengthened and thus had a positive effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor. The real change was –14 percent in the quarter.

January–September 2012

Organic sales growth was 0 percent (4) in the first nine months. The organic sales growth was hampered by negative organic sales growth in the customer segments defense and aerospace, federal government services and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations. Also, extra sales were lower than last year. The loss of the large contract with an automotive customer in the U.S. in the beginning of the year was offset by the large airport security contract started in Canada. The sales of specialized security solutions as part of total sales amounted to 11 percent (6).

The operating margin was 4.8 percent (5.8). The decline was mainly explained by the development in the customer segment federal government services, where lower extra sales in combination with difficulties in the integration process have resulted in a negative operating margin. The negative development in the Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations business also had a negative impact on the operating margin. Furthermore, lower extra sales in some of the U.S. regions in the third quarter had a negative impact. Last year the operating margin was positively impacted by a settlement in a client dispute of 0.2 percent.

The U.S. dollar exchange rate has strengthened and the effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor was positive. The real change was –16 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was 90 percent. The employee turnover rate in the U.S. was 48 percent (43).

July–September 2012

Organic sales growth was 2 percent (0) in the quarter. Strong organic sales growth was seen in countries such as Germany and Norway. Belgium and the United Kingdom have reversed the negative organic sales growth from last year and showed positive organic sales growth, thus contributing to the overall organic sales growth development in the business segment. France held back the organic sales growth and showed –9 percent in the third quarter, affected by volume losses due to price increase campaigns.

The operating margin was 4.8 percent (4.3). The development was supported by a positive price and wage balance in primarily France and Germany. Belgium also contributed to the positive development.

The euro exchange rate negatively impacted the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was 18 percent in the quarter.

July–September 2012

Organic sales growth was 0 percent (4), a decline due to lower new sales in a difficult market environment.

The operating margin was 12.6 percent (13.8). The operating margin in the Mobile operation was negatively impacted mainly by lower organic sales growth in general, the loss of a few major contracts and difficult market conditions with margin pressure in Spain.

The real change in operating income in the business segment was –6 percent.

January–September 2012

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (4), showing a mixed picture among the countries. The decline is mainly explained by the negative impact from portfolio net change with lower new sales. Lower extra sales also hampered the development.

The operating margin was 11.0 percent (11.7). The operating margin in the Mobile operation was negatively impacted by delayed synergies from acquisitions and declining extra sales. Furthermore, contract losses had a negative impact.

July–September 2012

Organic sales growth was –6 percent (14) in the quarter. The negative development relates mainly to Spain and Portugal due to the tough economic climate in these countries. The organic sales growth in Spain was –21 percent in the third quarter. In Latin America, the organic sales growth was 19 percent primarily driven by price increases and strong portfolio growth in Argentina, Peru and Uruguay.

The operating margin was 5.4 percent (6.1). The development is mainly explained by Spain. The positive effect on the operating margin from leaving low profitability contracts is outweighed by the impact from negative leverage caused by lower sales, an increase of social payroll taxes* and a negative balance between price and wage cost increases. Investments in building a technology platform in Spain also incurred extra costs in the quarter. In Latin America the operating margin was in line with last year.

The currency exchange rates had a negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was –13 percent in the quarter.

* A new law regulating the payroll taxes for employers in Spain went into effect from August 1, removing certain payroll tax subsidies.

January–September 2012

Organic sales growth was –3 percent (11) and is mainly explained by the development in Spain and Portugal. Contract losses and reductions, terminations due to uncertain client credit worthiness as well as lower extra sales had a negative impact. By the end of the first quarter 2012, contracts with low margin in Spain worth approximately MSEK 450 (MEUR 50) in annual sales were terminated. The investments in the technology platform in Spain has had a positive impact on sales volumes, but the negative effects from tough market conditions continues to put pressure on the organic sales growth. The organic sales growth in Spain was –16 percent in the first nine months. In Latin America, the organic sales growth was 21 percent primarily driven by price increases and good portfolio development in Argentina, Uruguay and Peru.

The operating margin was 5.1 percent (5.9). The operating margin declined in Spain, due to negative leverage from much lower sales and a tough price competitive market. Investments in building a technology platform in Spain also impacted the period. In Latin America the operating margin is slightly behind last year due to wage cost increases not yet fully recovered, even though the third quarter showed an improving trend.

The currency exchange rates had a negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was –12 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was 82 percent. The employee turnover rate was 35 percent (39**).

Capital employed as of September 30, 2012

The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 3 686 (3 145 as of December 31, 2011) corresponding to 6 percent of sales (5 as of December 31, 2011) adjusted for the full year sales figures of acquired units.

Acquisitions increased operating capital employed by MSEK 76 during the period.

The annual impairment test of all Cash Generating Units (CGU), which is required under IFRS, took place during the third quarter 2012 in conjunction with the business plan process for 2013. As a result of this, a decision was made to recognize impairment losses of goodwill and other acquisition related intangible assets amounting to MSEK –26 in Security Services Montenegro. In 2011, no impairment losses were recognized.

Acquisitions increased consolidated goodwill by MSEK 251. Adjusted for the above described impairment of which MSEK –16 is attributable to goodwill, as well as negative translation differences of MSEK –761, total goodwill for the Group amounted to MSEK 14 201 (14 727 as of December 31, 2011).

Free cash flow/Net debt Free cash flow/net debt

Acquisitions have increased acquisition related intangible assets by MSEK 214. After amortization of MSEK –201 and the above described impairment of which MSEK –10 is attributable to acquisition related intangible assets, as well as negative translation differences of MSEK –77, acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK 1 500 (1 574 as of December 31, 2011).

The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 19 493 (19 554 as of December 31, 2011). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish kronor decreased the Group's capital employed by MSEK –1 000.

The return on capital employed was 17 percent (17 as of December 31, 2011).

Financing as of September 30, 2012

The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 11 111 (10 349 as of December 31, 2011). Acquisitions and acquisition related payments increased the Group's net debt by MSEK 596, of which purchase price payments accounted for MSEK 479, assumed net debt for MSEK 39 and acquisition related costs paid accounted for MSEK 78. The Group's net debt decreased by MSEK –405 due to the translation of net debt in foreign currency to Swedish kronor.

A dividend of MSEK 1 095 (1 095) was paid to the shareholders in May 2012.

The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.12 (0.11).

The main capital market instruments drawn as of the end of September 2012 were thirteen bonds issued under the Group's Euro Medium Term Note Program. The latest bond was a MEUR 300 5.5 year Eurobond which was issued in September 2012, with a coupon of 2.25 percent. In addition, Securitas has access to committed bank financing through a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), which comprises two respective tranches of MUSD 550 and MEUR 420 (MUSD 1 100 in total). At the end of the third quarter there was a total of MUSD 75 drawn on the facility, leaving MUSD 1 025 equivalent available and undrawn. The Group also has access to uncommitted bank borrowings and a MSEK 5 000 Swedish Commercial Paper Program for short-term borrowing needs. Further information on the credit facilities as of September 30, 2012 is provided in note 8.

Securitas has ample liquidity headroom under the committed credit facilities in line with established policies, which combined with the strong free cash flow generation means that the future liquidity requirements for the Company's operations are met.

In August 2012, Standard and Poor's downgraded Securitas to BBB from BBB+. Outlook is stable. The Group's liquidity position is regarded as strong.

The interest cover ratio amounted to 5.4 (6.5).

Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 8 382 (9 205 as of December 31, 2011). The translation of foreign assets and liabilities into Swedish kronor decreased shareholders' equity by MSEK –595 after taking into account net investment hedging of MSEK 38 and MSEK –633 before net investment hedging. Refer to the statement of comprehensive income on page 18 for further information.

The total number of outstanding shares amounted to 365 058 897 as of September 30, 2012.

All acquisition calculations are finalized no later than one year after the acquisition is made.

Risks and uncertainties

Risk management is necessary in order for Securitas to be able to fulfill its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives.

Securitas approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report for 2011.

In the preparation of financial reports the Board of Directors and Group Management are required to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments impact the statement of income and balance sheet as well as disclosures such as contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments under different circumstances and conditions.

For the forthcoming three-month period, the financial impact of certain previously recognized items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report for 2011 and if applicable above under the heading "Other significant events", may vary from the current financial estimates and provisions made by management. This could affect the Group's profitability and financial position.
