"Strong delivery with an operating margin exceeding 8% in the third quarter"
We achieved an important milestone in the third quarter, delivering an operating margin exceeding 8 percent. This is the result of strong strategic execution and performance across all our business segments. We are on the right track to achieve our financial target of an operating margin of 8 percent in the second half of 2025.
Organic sales growth was in line with our expectations, driven by strong performance in security services in North America. In security services Europe, organic sales growth was hampered by the ongoing active portfolio management activities. Real sales growth in technology and solutions was 4 percent, which is below our expectations and will be a priority area the coming quarters.
We generated solid operating cash flow in the third quarter, and nine months into 2025 we have improved our cash generation substantially compared to last year. This supported continued deleveraging, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.2.
Our clients navigate a complex risk landscape where our long-term partnership approach, supported by deep security expertise, a global presence and AI-enabled digital capabilities, makes us the preferred security partner in the market.
In a time marked by global uncertainty, geopolitical risks and macro volatility, our resilient business model has consistently demonstrated its strength by delivering local security services close to our clients. Despite ongoing uncertainty, we had no material impact from shifts in the global trade landscape in the third quarter.
The third quarter performance confirms a material profitability improvement in both technology and solutions, and in security services. In technology and solutions, our strengthened commercial offering and cost management resulted in an operating margin of 11.7 percent (11.2). In the security services business, active portfolio management and increasing margins on new sales, improved the operating margin to 6.9 percent (6.6). In recent years, we have taken a disciplined approach to address the most underperforming security services contracts in our portfolio and we expect the vast majority of this work to be completed across Europe by the first half of 2026.
The ongoing business optimization program has been well executed and contributed to the margin improvement in the third quarter. The targeted MSEK 200 in annualized savings has in all material aspects been executed as of the third quarter.
The close-down of the government business within SCIS started in the third quarter and is progressing according to plan. The close-down will positively impact the Group's long-term profitability and cash generation and we estimate that the process will be largely completed by the end of 2026. Although we have some remaining work to refine our business portfolio to sharpen our long-term performance and competitive position, the strategic assessment program is now nearing its end and we expect to conclude the final activities in the coming quarters.
Our strategy to build a more scalable Securitas focused on technology and digital capabilities is yielding results. We have delivered 19 quarters of consecutive operating margin improvement and have strengthened our operational cash flow generation consistently over time.
In the third quarter, we delivered a record-high operating margin and achieved 19 percent growth of earnings per share. Today's Securitas is a more resilient and future-proof company, well-positioned to continue to generate long-term value for our shareholders.

The net working capital was MSEK 9 510 (9 153 as of December 31, 2024), corresponding to 6 percent of sales, adjusted for the full-year sales of acquired and divested entities (6 as of December 31, 2024). The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 20 514 (20 869 as of December 31, 2024). The translation of foreign operating capital employed to Swedish kronor decreased the Group's operating capital employed by MSEK 2 191.
The annual impairment test of all Cash Generating Units (CGU), which is required under IFRS, took place during the third quarter of 2025 in conjunction with the business plan process for 2026. None of the CGUs tested for impairment, other than Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services, had a carrying amount that exceeded the recoverable amount. Consequently, no impairment losses, other than the impairment loss of MSEK –547 resulting from the closedown of the government business within Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services, have been recognized in 2025. No impairment losses were recognized in 2024.
The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 72 845 (80 603 as of December 31, 2024). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish krona decreased the Group's capital employed by MSEK 8 473. The return on capital employed was 16 percent (14 as of December 31, 2024).
The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 33 385 (37 923 as of December 31, 2024). The net debt was impacted mainly by the free cash flow of MSEK 3 793, a dividend of
MSEK –1 289, paid to the shareholders in May 2025, translation differences of MSEK 3 274 and payments for items affecting comparability of MSEK –780.
The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.2 (2.7). The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.22 (0.13). The interest coverage ratio amounted to 5.3 (4.1).
Cash flow from financing activities was MSEK –2 395 (–1 577), due to dividend paid of MSEK –1 289 (–1 089) and a net decrease in borrowings of MSEK –1 106 (–488). A second dividend payment of MSEK –1 289 (–1 088) will be made during the fourth quarter of 2025. The total dividend amounts to MSEK 2 578 (2 177).
Cash flow for the period was MSEK 393 (–1 064).
In February 2025, the Group repaid a MEUR 300 Eurobond with proceeds from an issued MEUR 300 sustainability-linked bond maturing in 2032. Following the issuance, the Group cancelled the MEUR 400 bank facility signed in the fourth quarter 2024.
In June 2025, the Group signed a new MEUR 1 100 multi-currency revolving credit facility with its eleven key relationship banks. The facility consists of two tranches: one MEUR 900 tranche maturing in 2030 and one MEUR 200 tranche maturing in 2028. Each tranche may be extended by up to two years. The facility was undrawn on September 30, 2025. Following the establishment of the new revolving credit facility, the MEUR 1 029 revolving credit facility maturing in 2027 was cancelled.
In June 2025, the Group repaid MUSD 200 of the MUSD 600 term loan maturing in 2026 with proceeds from a new MUSD 200 private placement issuance with maturity in 2031. Furthermore, the Group signed a MUSD 190 loan agreement with Nordic Investment Bank maturing in 2032. This facility was drawn on July 30, 2025. The proceeds, combined with MUSD 10 cash, were used to repay a further MUSD 200 of the remaining MUSD 400 term loan maturing in 2026.
In August and September, 2025, the Group further repaid in full the MUSD 135 term loan maturing in 2025.
This brought the total repayment in the quarter to BSEK 1.4 equivalent.
The Group had a MSEK 5 000 Swedish commercial paper program, of which MSEK 0 was utilized on September 30, 2025.
Standard & Poor's rating of Securitas is BBB with stable outlook.
Further information regarding financial instruments and credit facilities is provided in note 9.
The closing balance for liquid funds after translation differences of MSEK –281 was MSEK 7 539 (7 427 as of December 31, 2024).
Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 38 171 (42 680 as of December 31, 2024). The translation of foreign assets and liabilities into Swedish krona together with net investment hedges decreased shareholders' equity by MSEK 5 199.

All acquisition calculations are finalized no later than one year after the acquisition is made. Transactions with non controlling interests are specified in the statement of changes in shareholders' equity on page 22. Transaction costs and revaluation of deferred considerations can be found in note 6.
During the first quarter of 2025 Securitas completed the divestment of the airport security business in France to local management. Full-year 2024 sales were approximately BSEK 1.5 with an operating margin well below average in Securitas Europe. For further information please refer to note 6 and 7.
For critical estimates and judgments, provisions and contingent liabilities refer to the Annual Report 2024 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.
SECURITAS CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES (SCIS) Securitas is in the process of closing down the government business within SCIS as the business is not aligned with the company's long-term strategy and profitability requirements. The close-down is expected to be
largely completed by the end of 2026 and will impact the Group's long-term profitability and cash generation positively. For further details about SCIS, refer to the Interim Report January–June 2025.
Risk management is necessary for Securitas to be able to fulfil its strategies and achieve its corporate objectives. Our approach to enterprise risk management is described in more detail in the Annual Report 2024.
Securitas' risks fall into three categories: operational risks, financial risks and strategic risks and opportunities:
Operational risks include risks directly attributed to business operations, for example the risk of labour shortages, contract risk, client retention risk, acquisition risks, business ethics risks and cyber security threats.
Financial risks comprise risks such as refinancing risk, interest-rate risks, foreign exchange risk, cash flow risk and tax related risks.
Strategic risks and opportunities refer to changes in the business environment with potential significant effects on Securitas' operations and business objectives. Current strategic risks include for example risks related to the general macro-economic and political environment such as trade conflicts and protectionist measures, a challenging insurance market and the litigation environment in the US. Strategic risks also include disruption risk from new technologies, such as AI, affecting business models and markets.
Also, the geopolitical situation in the world has changed with Russia's invasion of Ukraine 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.
In Europe, we still have some outstanding work related to transformation programs and will continue our implementation efforts in 2025 and 2026. In addition, a business optimization program is being executed in 2025, mainly in Europe.
The implementation and rollout of new systems and platforms to support transformation, as well as optimization programs naturally carry a risk in terms of potential disruptions to our operations, which could negatively impact our result, cash flow and financial position. Additionally, delays may occur, the expected savings may be lower than anticipated and certain costs in connection with the programs may be higher than anticipated.
Furthermore, Securitas has decided to close down the government business within SCIS, with completion largely targeted by the end of 2026. While this decision is expected to positively impact the Group's long-term profitability and cash generation, the close-down entails potential disruptions, associated non-recurring costs, and uncertainties regarding the final outcome.
All these risks make it difficult to predict the economic development of the different markets and geographies in which we operate.
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. Actual outcomes may differ under varying circumstances and conditions.
For the forthcoming twelve-month period, the financial impact of the risks described above, as well as certain items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report 2024 and, where applicable, 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.
The Group's Parent Company, Securitas AB, is not involved in any operating activities. Securitas AB consists of Group Management and support functions for the Group.
The Parent Company's income amounted to MSEK 1 600 (1 847) and mainly relates to license fees and other income from subsidiaries.
Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK 1 708 (615). The increase compared to last year is mainly due to higher dividends from subsidiaries and lower interest expense. Income before taxes amounted to MSEK 2 298 (1 042).
The Parent Company's non-current assets amounted to MSEK 74 237 (74 888 as of December 31, 2024) and mainly comprise shares in subsidiaries of MSEK 72 825 (72 971 as of December 31, 2024). Current assets amounted to MSEK 4 395 (4 468 as of December 31, 2024) of which liquid funds accounted for MSEK 66 (65 as of December 31, 2024).
Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 55 043 (55 544 as of December 31, 2024). Total dividend amounts to MSEK 2 578 (2 177), whereof MSEK 1 289 (1 089) was paid to the shareholders in May 2025. A second dividend payment will be made during the fourth quarter of 2025 and has been reported as a non-interest-bearing current liability.
The Parent Company's liabilities and untaxed reserves amounted to MSEK 23 589 (23 812 as of December 31, 2024) and mainly consist of interest-bearing debt.
For further information, refer to the Parent Company's condensed financial statements on page 32.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, in Stockholm, Sweden.

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Securitas AB as at September 30, 2025, and for the nine 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.
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.
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.

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).
This comprises two broad categories regarding technology and solutions.
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.
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.
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 consists mainly of trade mark fees for the use of the Securitas brand name.
The disaggregation of revenue by segment is shown in the table below. Total sales agree to total sales in the segment overview.
