A good quarter across all segments" "
We delivered a strong operating margin of 7.3 percent (6.9) in the second quarter, in line with our plan. The performance was supported by all business segments and the operating margin improved in both security services and technology and solutions.
Organic sales growth was 5 percent with improved growth in North America. Real sales growth in technology and solutions was 4 percent, which was below our expectations.
Operating cash flow improved significantly compared to last year and our balance sheet remains strong.
In a time marked by global uncertainty and geopolitical risks, clients navigate a complex risk landscape. Our longterm partnership approach, supported by deep security expertise, a global presence and AI-enabled digital capabilities, sets us apart as the preferred partner in the market.
Our business model has consistently demonstrated its strength by delivering local security services close to our clients, which limits our exposure to global trade shifts and macro volatility.
Despite ongoing uncertainty, we had no material impact from shifts in the global trade landscape in the second quarter. We remain vigilant, closely monitoring developments together with our clients.
We have materially improved the profitability in both technology and solutions, and security services. In technology and solutions, we have enhanced our commercial offering, we have solid cost leverage on decent growth and continued cost efficiency gains.
In our security services business, profitability was supported by active portfolio management and substantially better margins on new sales from our improved client offering. We have consistently addressed non-performing contracts over the past several years, and we are intensifying these efforts to complete this work across Europe in the coming quarters. In the second quarter we renewed several significant airport security contracts in Europe with healthy profitability thanks to our strengthened offering.
The ongoing business optimization program contributed to the margin development in the second quarter and is on track to achieve MSEK 200 in annualized savings by the end of 2025.
After having assessed different strategic options, we have decided to close down the government business within SCIS as the business is not aligned with our long-term strategy. The close-down will positively impact the Group's long-term profitability and we estimate that the process will be largely completed by the end of 2026. We remain committed to continuously refine our business portfolio to sharpen our long-term performance and competitive position.
We deliver a strong second-quarter performance, with 25 percent growth of earnings per share and we remain committed to achieving our target of 8 percent operating margin as we are entering the second half of 2025. We continue to shape Securitas into a company well-positioned to consistently deliver long-term value to our shareholders.

The net working capital was MSEK 10 020 (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 21 139 (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 2 023.
The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 75 150 (80 603 as of December 31, 2024). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish krona decreased the Group's capital employed by MSEK 7 849. The return on capital employed was 15 percent (14 as of December 31, 2024).
The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 35 969 (37 923 as of December 31, 2024). The net debt was impacted mainly by the free cash flow of MSEK 1 143, a dividend of MSEK –1 289, paid to the shareholders in May 2025, translation differences of MSEK 3 042 and payments for items affecting comparability of MSEK –472.
The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.4 (2.9). The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.20 (0.10). The interest coverage ratio amounted to 4.9 (4.0).
Cash flow from financing activities was MSEK –790 (–1 230), due to dividend paid of MSEK –1 289 (–1 089) and a net increase in borrowings of MSEK 499 (–141). 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 –344 (–2 859).

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.
After having assessed different strategic options, Securitas has decided to close 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 positively.
The business to be closed down had sales of approximately BSEK 7.2 in FY 2024 (77 percent of SCIS' total sales) and approximately BSEK 3.2 in the first six months of 2025 (77 percent of SCIS' total sales). The business had low single-digit operating margin in FY 2024 with declining performance the first six months of 2025.
The Securitas Group's operating margin excluding the business to be closed down was 7.1 percent in FY 2024 and 7.1 percent in the first six months of 2025.
As per June 30, 2025, the business to be closed down had MUSD 68 in net working capital which is expected to be released over the close down period, positively impacting operating cash flow.
The non-recurring costs associated with the close down are estimated to MUSD 150, whereof approximately one third will have a cash flow impact. The costs will be reported as an item affecting comparability in the third quarter of 2025.
The net impact from the close-down, considering the net working capital to be released and the cash impact from the close-down cost, is expected to be cash neutral.
SCIS, including the business to be closed down, will continue to be reported under the heading Other in the segment reporting. The remaining part of SCIS is mainly focused on providing security services to the commercial critical infrastructure sector where a government security clearance is required.
As of the second quarter of 2025, the interim report includes a Group operating margin adjusted for the government business within SCIS. As of the third quarter 2025 an additional key ratio for adjusted organic sales growth will be added.
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 includes 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, the close-down entails potential disruptions, associated non-recurring costs, and uncertainties regarding the final outcome. For further details, see Other significant events.
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 1 084 (1 235) and mainly relates to license fees and other income from subsidiaries.
Financial income and expenses amounted to MSEK 886 (75). The increase compared to last year is mainly due to higher dividends from subsidiaries and lower interest expense. Income before taxes amounted to MSEK 1 253 (348).
The Parent Company's non-current assets amounted to MSEK 74 284 (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 4 470 (4 468 as of December 31, 2024) of which liquid funds accounted for MSEK 44 (65 as of December 31, 2024).
Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 54 030 (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 24 724 (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 31.

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.
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.

The calculations below relate to the period January–June 2025.
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus interest income (rolling 12 months) in relation to interest expenses (rolling 12 months). Calculation: (11 365 + 285) / 2 397 = 4.9
Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of operating income before amortization.
Calculation: 2 972 / 5 323 = 56%
Free cash flow (rolling 12 months) in relation to closing balance net debt. Calculation: 7 150 / 35 969 = 0.20
Net debt in relation to operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) excluding depreciation (rolling 12 months) and including acquisition-related costs (rolling 12 months).
Calculation: 35 969 / (11 365 + 3 693 – 23) = 2.4
Net working capital as a percentage of total sales (rolling 12 months) adjusted for the full-year sales of acquired and divested entities. Calculation: 10 020 / 159 477 = 6%
Investments in non-current tangible and intangible assets for the period as a percentage of total sales for the period.
Calculation: 1 963 / 78 170 = 2.5%
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) as a percentage of closing balance of capital employed adjusted for provisions related to items affecting comparability.
Calculation: 11 365 / (75 150 + 510) = 15%
Net debt in relation to shareholders' equity. Calculation: 35 969 / 37 892 = 0.95
Operating margin excluding the government business within Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services.
Calculation: (5 323 – 4) / (78 170 – 3 174) = 7.1%
