Regulatory News:

SECURITAS AB (STO:SECUB):

JANUARY–MARCH 2013

• Total sales MSEK 15 860 (16 264)

• Organic sales growth 0 percent (1)

• Operating income before amortization MSEK 749 (720)

• Operating margin 4.7 percent (4.4)

• Earnings per share SEK 1.04 (0.95)

• Free cash flow/net debt 0.20 (0.12)

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.

Alf Göransson

President and Chief Executive Officer
