Interim Report January–March 2012

january–march 2012

  • • Total sales MSEK 16 264 (14 775)
  • • Organic sales growth 1 percent (3)
  • • Operating margin 4.5 percent (4.8)
  • • Earnings per share SEK 0.97 (1.01)
  • • Free cash flow/net debt 0.12 (0.13)

COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The real sales growth including acquisitions continued to be strong and reached 9 percent for the first quarter, while the organic sales growth was slow at 1 percent. Some contract losses and reductions in existing customer contracts, but also our own cancellations of low margin contracts, impacted the quarter. The price increase negotiations takes time due to our need to achieve balance between price adjustments and wage cost increases. The operating margin was 0.3 percent behind previous year mainly for these reasons.

I am confident that we will be able to achieve price increases on par with wage costs increases in the Group in 2012, supported among others by a so far successful price campaign in France and by an agreement of a revised collective bargaining agreement in Spain.

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. In spite of that, we made one major and important acquisition of the technology company Chillida in Spain. With this acquisition we create a technology hub that will strengthen our operations in Spain and Portugal, and allow us to offer higher value solutions to our customers.

We have had a relatively weak start of the year, however I remain optimistic about 2012, supported by the actions taken and the acquisitions made in 2011, the ongoing work on managing the price/wage balance and by the pipeline of won or expected projects in quarters to come, even if the macro economic environment remains unpredictable.

JANUARY–MARCH 2012

Sales and market development

Sales amounted to MSEK 16 264 (14 775) and organic sales growth was 1 percent (3). Although supported by the leap day, the organic sales growth was below last year. This was reflected in all business segments, except in Mobile and Monitoring, and the main reason was previously lost or terminated contracts. In Security Services North America, the impact from negative net change in the contract portfolio hampered the organic sales growth. In Security Services Europe, the majority of the countries showed positive organic sales growth, but the negative effect from the contract losses in Belgium last year remained. Mobile and Monitoring had a better performance than last year. In Security Services Ibero-America the organic sales growth was negatively impacted by the development in Spain and Portugal, although in Latin America the organic sales growth was 25 percent.

Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 9 percent (10).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 734 (712) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented an increase of 1 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 4.5 percent (4.8). The main reason for the decline compared to last year relates to Security Services North America, where a slow start of 2012 was reflected in the operating margin development. The operating margin in Security Services Europe as well as in Mobile and Monitoring was stable. In Security Services Ibero-America, the operating margin decreased due to the development in Spain and Portugal, while in Latin America the operating margin improved.

The price adjustments in the Group were slightly behind wage cost increases in the first quarter.

Operating income after amortization

Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK –64 (–44).

Acquisition related costs impacted the quarter by MSEK –28 (–32).

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –134 (–109). The finance net has been negatively impacted by the increase in net debt that took place mainly during last year.

Income before taxes

Income before taxes was MSEK 508 (527). The real change was –6 percent.

Taxes, net income and earnings per share

The Group's tax rate was 29.8 percent (29.9).

Net income was MSEK 357 (370). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.97 (1.01).

Security Services North America provides specialized security services in the USA, Canada and Mexico and comprises 20 business units: one organization for national and global accounts, ten geographical regions and six specialty customer segments – manufacturing, federal government services, defense and aerospace, energy, healthcare and aviation – in the USA, plus Canada, Mexico and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations.

January–March 2012

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (4) in the quarter. The leap day had a positive impact in the quarter, while the negative organic sales growth in the customer segments defense and aerospace, federal government services and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations hampered the organic sales growth. The loss of the large contract with an automotive customer in the US was offset by the large airport security contract started in Canada. The new sales rate in the quarter was relatively strong due to newly won contracts, such as a major contract won by the federal government services customer segment, starting up as of the second quarter. The sales of specialized security solutions as part of total sales amounted to 9 percent (6).

The operating margin was 4.6 percent (5.3), thus giving the first quarter of the year a slow start. The lower top line growth especially from the customer segments defense and aerospace, federal government services and Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations, had a negative impact on the operating margin. In the airport security contract in Canada, start up costs affected the operating margin with –0.1 percent, but the contract is expected to contribute in quarters to come.

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 –8 percent in the quarter.

The client retention rate was 89 percent which is slightly lower compared to last year. The employee turnover rate in the U.S. was 45 percent (41).

January–March 2012

Organic sales growth was 0 percent (1) in the period where most countries had positive organic sales growth. The leap day had a positive impact in the quarter, while contract losses of Brussels Airport and the European Commission in Belgium last year impacted negatively. Securitas was awarded a five year contract with the European Parliament worth approximately MEUR 20 annually, starting in April. The security contract with Stockholm Arlanda Airport was retained and is worth approximately MSEK 600 over a three year period.

The operating margin was 3.9 percent (3.9). The majority of the countries show an improvement in operating margin. Belgium still suffers from previous contract losses. In the United Kingdom the result showed a good development, from negative last year to positive this year, in line with our acquisition plan.

The euro exchange rate had only a small negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was 10 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was stable at 91 percent. The employee turnover rate was 27 percent (28**).

January–March 2012

Organic sales growth was 3 percent (2). The majority of countries in the Mobile operation had positive organic sales growth. Two positive outliers were Belgium and Germany, showing strong organic sales growth also based on high extra sales. The United Kingdom suffered from previously lost contracts and had a negative organic sales growth. In France, the top line growth was positive however supported by acquisitions in 2011. In the Monitoring operation, all countries had positive organic sales growth, except in France where the sales growth was supported mainly by acquisitions in 2011. The organic sales growth is primarily driven by countries such as the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

The operating margin was 10.4 percent (10.5). Delayed synergies from acquisitions in the Mobile operation impacted the business segment negatively, while the Monitoring operation improved margins compared to last year.

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

January–March 2012

Organic sales growth was 2 percent (7) in the quarter. The negative development relates mainly to reductions in existing customer contracts and contract losses in Spain and Portugal, related to the tough macroeconomic environment. As previously reported, contracts with low margin in Spain worth approximately MSEK 450 (MEUR 50) in annual sales, were terminated by the end of the first quarter. In Latin America, the organic sales growth was 25 percent primarily driven by price increases in Argentina. The good organic sales growth in Uruguay and Peru was due to a combined effect of volume and price increases.

The operating margin was 4.8 percent (5.4). The operating margin improved in the Latin American countries, while Portugal and Spain declined. Reductions in existing customer contracts and losses of profitable contracts in Portugal, wage cost increases in Spain not yet fully recouped by price increases and difficult market conditions in general were the main reasons behind the development. The termination of the low margin contracts in Spain will have a positive impact on the operating margin during 2012.

The currency exchange rates had a small negative impact on the operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change was 1 percent in the period.

The client retention rate was 83 percent (83). The employee turnover rate was 38 percent (45).

In addition to the above, Securitas has access to committed bank financing through a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) which was signed with 12 Swedish and international banks in January 2011. The RCF comprises two respective tranches of MUSD 550 and MEUR 420 (MUSD 1 100 in total), and matures in 2016. At the end of the first quarter there was a total of MUSD 150 drawn on the facility, leaving MUSD 950 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.

For the forthcoming nine-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.
