  • • Organic sales growth 0 percent (1)
  • • Operating income before amortization MSEK 749 (720)
  • • Operating margin 4.7 percent (4.4)

COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

The organic sales growth was flat and reflected the challenging macroeconomic situation that prevails in Europe and the security market in important markets such as France, Portugal and Spain continues to deteriorate. The US economy seems to be in a slow and gradual recovery mode. Latin America continued to show strong organic sales growth.

Margin improvement driven by cost savings

The operating margin improved in all divisions compared to the first quarter previous year, mainly driven by the various restructuring and cost savings actions taken in 2012. We achieved cost savings in the first quarter according to our restructuring plan.

Sales of security solutions and technology gradually increases

In 2012 the sales of security solutions and technology represented approximately 6 percent of Group sales. We have set a target to triple this share of sales by the end of 2015. We continued to increase our investments in resources within security solutions and technology and in the first quarter of 2013 we were at 6.5 percent.

JANUARY–MARCH 2013

Sales development

Sales amounted to MSEK 15 860 (16 264) and organic sales growth was 0 percent (1). The organic sales growth was lower in all business segments, but showed a mixed picture among the countries. Main positive impact on Group organic sales growth derived from Germany and Argentina, while main negative impact came from France and Spain. Real sales growth, including acquisitions and adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was 2 percent (9).

Operating income before amortization

Operating income before amortization was MSEK 749 (720) which, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, represented an improvement of 9 percent.

The Group's operating margin was 4.7 percent (4.4). The improvement mainly relates to the effects from the restructuring and cost savings program in the Group.

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

Operating income after amortization

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

Acquisition related costs were MSEK –8 (–28). For further information refer to note 4.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK –136 (–134).

Income before taxes

Income before taxes was MSEK 541 (494). The real change was 14 percent.

January–March 2013

The organic sales growth was 0 percent (1). Adjusted for the leap day in 2012, organic sales growth was 1 percent. The positive development in the business units federal government services and Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management supported organic sales growth.

The operating margin was 5.0 percent (4.4). Improvements were seen mainly in the five guarding regions, the business units federal government services, critical infrastructure and Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management as well as in Canada. The major part of the improvement stems from the restructuring and cost savings program.

The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened versus the U.S. dollar and thus had a negative effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor. The real change was 12 percent in the quarter.

The client retention rate was 89 percent (89). The employee turnover rate in the business segment was 53 percent (51).

January–March 2013

Organic sales growth was 0 percent (1). The Nordic countries had lower organic sales growth compared to last year and countries such as France and United Kingdom showed negative organic sales growth of –9 and –5 percent respectively. The positive development in mainly Germany and Belgium supported organic sales growth.

The operating margin was 5.2 percent (5.0). The restructuring and cost savings program supports the improvement, while increased wage costs mainly in the Nordic countries due to Easter hampered the improvement. The operating margin declined in Norway due to high sickness rates and the Easter effect. In the United Kingdom it was negatively impacted by lower sales in a tough market environment. The operating margin continued to improve in Germany, and in France it was supported by a subsidy in social cost.

The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened versus the euro and thus had a negative effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor. The real change was 4 percent in the quarter.

The client retention rate was 90 percent (90). The employee turnover was 25 percent (26).

Comparatives have been restated due to the organizational changes that took place in the Group as of January 1, 2013.

January–March 2013

Organic sales growth was 1 percent (2). The organic sales growth continued to be negative in Spain and Portugal, showing –14 percent in Spain in the first quarter, which is approximately in line with the security market's development. In Latin America organic sales growth was 23 percent primarily driven by price increases in Argentina and by price increases and portfolio growth in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay.

The operating margin was 5.5 percent (5.0). The positive development was mainly explained by Spain with impact from the restructuring and cost savings program as well as the outcome of the collective bargaining agreement. Lower sales and increased social payroll taxes with effect from August 1, 2012, had a hampering effect on the operating margin in the first quarter. In Latin America the operating margin was slightly lower compared to last year due to timing differences in recovering wage increases through price increases.

The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened and thus had a negative effect on the operating result in Swedish kronor. The real change was 15 percent in the quarter.

The client retention rate was 88 percent (82). The employee turnover rate was 31 percent (38).

Acquisitions have increased acquisition related intangible assets by MSEK 21. After amortization of MSEK –64 and negative translation differences of MSEK –41, acquisition related intangible assets amounted to MSEK 1 418 (1 502 as of December 31, 2012).

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

The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 18 885 (18 467 as of December 31, 2012). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish kronor decreased the Group's capital employed by MSEK –335.

The return on capital employed was 14 percent (14 as of December 31, 2012).

Financing as of March 31, 2013

The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 10 061 (9 865 as of December 31, 2012). Acquisitions and acquisition related payments increased the Group's net debt by MSEK 50, of which purchase price payments accounted for MSEK 37, assumed net debt for MSEK –4 and acquisition related costs paid accounted for MSEK 17. The Group's net debt decreased by MSEK –140 due to the translation of net debt in foreign currency to Swedish kronor.

The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.20 (0.12).

The main capital market instruments drawn as of the end of March 2013 were twelve bonds issued under the Group's Euro Medium Term Note Program.

At the end of the quarter there was a total of MUSD 150 drawn on the facility, leaving MUSD 950 equivalent available and undrawn. The MEUR 500 Eurobond matured on April 2, 2013 and has been repaid with cash reserves, Commercial Paper issues and RCF drawings. The Group also has access to a MSEK 5 000 Swedish Commercial Paper Program for short-term borrowing needs. Further information regarding financial instruments and credit facilities is provided in note 6.

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.

Standard and Poor's rating for Securitas is BBB with stable outlook. The Group's liquidity position is regarded as strong.

The interest cover ratio amounted to 5.0 (5.8).

Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 8 825 (8 602 as of December 31, 2012). The translation of foreign assets and liabilities into Swedish kronor decreased shareholders' equity by MSEK –195 after taking into account net investment hedging of MSEK 46 and MSEK –241 before net investment hedging. Refer to the statement of comprehensive income on page 14 for further information.

The total number of outstanding shares amounted to 365 058 897 as of March 31, 2013.

Selectron, Uruguay

Securitas has acquired all shares in the monitoring and installation company Selectron in Uruguay. Selectron has 90 employees. The company has a strong presence in the financial and retail customer segments.

3) Estimated annual sales.

Other significant events

For critical estimates and judgments, items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities refer to pages 84–85, 98–99 and pages 115–117 in the Annual Report 2012. 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.

Risks and uncertainties

Risk management is necessary in order for Securitas to be able to fulfill its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives. Securitas' risks fall into three main categories; contract risk, operational assignment risk and financial risks. Securitas approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report for 2012.

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 nine-month period, the financial impact of certain previously recognized items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report for 2012 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.

Parent Company operations

The Group's Parent Company, Securitas AB, is not involved in any operating activities. Securitas AB provides Group Management and support functions for the Group.

January–March 2013

The Parent Company's income amounted to MSEK 221 (247) and mainly relates to license fees and other income from subsidiaries.

Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK 46 (23*). Income before taxes amounted to MSEK 99 (265).

As of March 31, 2013

The Parent Company's non-current assets amounted to MSEK 38 068 (38 119 as of December 31, 2012) and mainly comprise shares in subsidiaries of MSEK 37 161 (37 156 as of December 31, 2012). Current assets amounted to MSEK 8 711 (6 440 as of December 31, 2012) of which liquid funds amounted to MSEK 4 918 (25 as of December 31, 2012). The increase of liquid funds is mainly explained by the issuance of commercial paper and dividends received from subsidiaries during the first quarter and the fact that the MEUR 500 Eurobond was only repaid on April 2, 2013, resulting in a temporary increase in liquid funds.

Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 25 607 (25 545 as of December 31, 2012). The Parent Company's liabilities amounted to MSEK 21 172 (19 014 as of December 31, 2012) and mainly consist of interest-bearing debt.

For further information, refer to the Parent Company's condensed financial statements on page 22.

Accounting principles

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

Securitas' consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups. The most important accounting principles under IFRS, which is the basis for the preparation of this interim report, can be found in note 2 on pages 75 to 81 in the Annual Report for 2012. The accounting principles are also available on the Group's website www.securitas.com under the section Investor Relations – Financials – Accounting Principles.

The Parent Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's standard RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The most important accounting principles used by the Parent Company can be found in note 39 on page 123 in the Annual Report for 2012.

There have been no other changes than the changes described below in the Group's or the Parent Company's accounting principles compared to the accounting principles described in note 2 and note 39 in the Annual Report for 2012.

Restatement of segment comparatives

Due to organizational changes within the Group, segment comparatives have been restated as of January 1, 2013 as described below.

Security Services North America has been affected by operations within security consulting in the Netherlands that have been moved from the segment Other to Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management within Security Services North America. The previous segments Security Services Europe and Mobile and Monitoring have been merged into one segment named Security Services Europe. Furthermore, operations in Spain and Portugal have been moved from the previous segment Mobile and Monitoring to Security Services Ibero-America, while operations within security consulting in Belgium have been moved from the segment Other to Security Services Europe.

The organizational changes have impacted the distribution of sales and operating result between the business segments as well as the elimination of intra-group sales but have not had any impact on the total sales, organic sales growth, operating income nor operating margin for the Securitas Group.

Effect of amended and revised IFRS that are effective as of 2013

IAS 1 (amended)

IAS 1 (amended) has been be adopted by Securitas as of the financial year 2013. The amendments to the standard require the items in other comprehensive income to be split into two categories: items that will not be reclassified to the statement of income and items that subsequently may be reclassified to the statement of income. Taxes are disclosed separately for each category. For further information refer to the statement of comprehensive income and note 7.

IAS 19 (revised)

IAS 19 (revised) has been adopted by the Securitas Group as of the financial year 2013. The impact on the Group from the revised standard is that interest cost and expected return on assets have been replaced by a net interest cost which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit obligation (or asset). Further, past service costs are recognized immediately instead of being accrued over the vesting period. The effect on the Group's financial statements is that the costs recognized for 2011 and 2012 related to defined benefits to employees increase. The actual benefits and the cash contributions for these plans are not impacted by IAS 19 (revised).

When restating the comparative years 2012 and 2011 the increase of these costs are MSEK –58 before taxes and MSEK –37 after taxes for 2012. For 2011 the increase is MSEK –50 before taxes and MSEK –30 after taxes. The increase in costs affects production expenses as well as selling and administrative expenses in operating income. For further information refer to note 8.

Accounting principles

According to IAS 19 (revised) it will no longer be possible to apply the so called corridor method. Since Securitas has not applied the corridor method, this change will have no effect on the Group's financial statements

None of the other published standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the Group's financial year 2013 are assessed to have any material impact on the Group's financial statements.

Note 8 Restated segment comparatives due to organizational changes and adoption of IAS 19 (revised)

The tables below show restated comparative figures for the business segments and for the Securitas Group. The restatement is done to reflect the organizational changes in the Group that took place on January 1, 2013 and to consider the impact from the adoption of IAS 19 (revised) that took place on the same date.

Security Services North America has been affected by operations within security consulting in the Netherlands that have been moved from the segment Other to Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management within Security Services North America. The previous segments Security Services Europe and Mobile and Monitoring have been merged into one segment named Security Services Europe. Furthermore, operations in Spain and Portugal have been moved from the previous segment Mobile and Monitoring to Security Services Ibero-America, while operations within security consulting in Belgium have been moved from the segment Other to Security Services Europe.

When restating the comparative years 2012 and 2011 due to the adoption of IAS 19 (revised), the increase of costs are MSEK –58 before taxes and MSEK –37 after taxes for 2012. For 2011 the increase was MSEK –50 before taxes and MSEK –30 after taxes. The increase in costs affects production expenses as well as selling and administrative expenses in operating income. The distribution of this impact between the business segments and for the Securitas Group as a whole is disclosed in the tables below. The line "of which impact from adoption of IAS 19 (revised)" shows the increase in cost compared to the previous version of IAS 19.
