Stronger-than-expected margin expansion confirmed our positive view ahead of the report that Securitas would be able to raise its prices to compensate for high salary inflation. Securitas has a very stable business model and low sensitivity to changes in the business cycle, which the Q2 report confirmed.

Better-than-expected

Sales were in line, but organic growth remains robust at 6% y/y (DME 5%).

EBITA is higher with a strong performance in the Security Services divisions. The result should reduce concerns about salary inflation, especially in Europe.

The Loomis IPO is on track and the current plan is to list the company in December 2008. The EBITA margin is targeted to reach 8% in 2010.

Security Services Europe showed very strong organic growth of 8% y/y (DME 7%) in Q2. The EBITA margin of 5.5% (DME 5.3%) should allay worries over salary inflation.

Security Services North America organic growth stayed at 4% (DME 4%), and the EBITA margin improved 40bp y/y to 5.6% (DME 5.3%).

Worse-than-expected

Mobile & Monitoring showed improved organic growth of 8% (DME 8%), but the EBITA margin fell to 10.6% (DME 11.0%). Growth is starting to pick up, which is important following last year’s investment into expansion of the sales force.

Loomis organic growth of 4% (DME 3%) and EBITA margin of 6.1% (DME 6.6%). This is moving in the right direction, but at slower pace than we had forecast.

Security Services Europe – Salary concerns allayed

Securitas has managed to raise prices to compensate for rising salary costs during H1, which gives a good indication for the rest of the year. Raising prices has been highest priority for Securitas, even at the expense of growth. This pricing strategy is not a quick fix, and 2008 is expected to see year-on-year margin pressure, while we are more optimistic regarding 2009.

Security Services Europe lifted its EBITA margin by 40bp y/y to 5.5%, but we don’t expect to see such a high y/y improvement in H2 due to the German acquisition. According to Securitas, sales from new customer additions were somewhat lower in Q2 y/y, but we have taken this into account with our forecast for slower organic growth in H2 of 5.5% y/y.

Another factor that is still putting pressure on the division’s margins in a historical perspective is the fast-growing, but lower-margin, Aviation vertical. This business continued its double-digit growth trend in Q2 due to contract extensions and new wins in Belgium and the Netherlands. The business showed improving margins year-on-year, but they are still well below the division’s average margins.

We expect the strong organic growth seen during 2006-07 of 7-8% to decline to 5.5% in H2 and 6.7% for 2008 as a whole, while the EBITA margin is forecast to decrease by 10bp to 5.6%.

Growth is set to strengthen in Mobile and Monitoring

Securitas has invested in expanding its sales force in Mobile & Monitoring during 2007, which has put some pressure on margins. The investments are continuing during 2008, but a large proportion of the sales force expansion is aboard. With sales efficiency improving, we see geared up growth coming through step by step. For H2, we forecast organic growth of 9% and an EBITA margin of 12.4%.

Focus on profitability, not volume in North America

The current macro data is worrying for the North American division, although an economic slowdown could result in employee turnover declining from the current +70%, helping margins. In Q2 employee turnover remained at 70%, but according to Securitas they are starting to see a reduction. We note, however, that with the depreciation of the USD, a better performance from North America would have a limited impact on the group.

For Security Services North America organic growth stayed at 4% (DME 4%) in Q2, and the EBITA margin improved by 40bp y/y to 5.6% (DME 5.3%). Even if Q2 was clearly stronger than we had forecast, we are not fully factoring in the same y/y improvement in H2, for which we forecast an EBITA margin of 5.4%.

Loomis IPO on track and turnaround progressing

Performance is improving at Loomis and growth picked up partly with the help of fuel charges, although the margin improvement was at a slower pace than we had estimated. The main problem areas are the UK and the US, where Securitas is not ruling out changes in management or even closing unprofitable branches. Earlier problems in France seem to be solved, and growth has recovered with improved margins.

The company intends to spin Loomis off and list it on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in December 2008.

Management has set an 8% EBITA margin target for Loomis in 2010 at the latest

Looking at H2, we forecast an EBITA margin of 6.6%, up 20bp from H2 07 on an adjusted basis. Loomis’s performance is still being weighed down by pressured margins in a number of geographies. The cost measures should lead to a gradual improvement in the coming quarters.

Even though Loomis was hit by more one-offs during 2007, CEO Mr Göransson seemed confident of the division’s margin potential. He stated that, with the necessary management changes and some adjustments to the Swedish operations, it should be possible to improve the EBITA margin to at least 8%. Peer company G4S runs its European cash handling services division at an 11% EBITA margin, indicating the potential that Loomis offers.

Unchanged estimates

The Q2 results have strengthened our confidence in Securitas’s ability to pass through salary inflation to customers. H2 will be burdened by restructuring charges related to the German acquisition and IPO related costs to Loomis – we estimate total charges of SEK 75m.

Cash and even more cash if the strategy is executed

In conjunction with the Q2 2007 report, Securitas launched new financial targets: an annual average improvement of 10% in EPS and free cash flow / net debt of 0.20x. The targets were set for Securitas excluding Loomis, for which an IPO is likely December 2008. The starting point (i.e. 2007 EPS) for the 2008 EPS growth target is SEK 5.36 per share. Some of the extraordinaries have been excluded from the guidance level, but we note that the basis EPS number is not clean.

Looking at the fundamentals of Securitas’s business model, we see it offers steadily growing profitability with high cash retention. The picture has not been as stable over the past few years, due to a number of extraordinaries, in particular the problems at Loomis. Securitas took restructuring charges and provisions amounting to SEK 1.3bn on to the balance sheet at the end of 2007. A portion of the provisions are normal business, while the resolved NCS issue and the cash settlement with the bankruptcy estate of Esabe in Spain resulted in a cash payment of SEK 479m during Q2 2008, and Securitas will also pay overtime payments in Spain 2009 of SEK 189m. We estimate a free cash-flow yield of 5.8% for 2008.

Room to increase gearing by SEK 3.0bn 2008 for acquisitions

With net debt of SEK 9.9bn at the end of 2007 and free cash flow to net debt of 0.24x, current gearing is in line with management’s financial targets of free cash flow / net debt of 0.20x. With an estimated improvement in free cash flow 2008, we see the potential for Securitas to increase net debt to SEK 12.1bn. With our forecast free cash flow of SEK 1.46bn in 2008 after the dividend payment, Securitas could use some SEK 3.0bn for acquisitions in 2008 to support growth in New Markets. During H1 08 Securitas announced acquisitions worth SEK 613m in total, with the SEK 323m purchase of the German unit from G4S being the single biggest acquisition.

Attractive valuation, considering the stability in the core business

We believe Securitas’s current market valuation is attractive, especially considering the stability in the company’s core business. But the key driver for the share price will be increased investor confidence in Securitas’s financial performance. We are lifting our target price to SEK 90 (SEK 88), although we see the potential of SEK 103 per share if Securitas’s strategy of strengthening its gross margins lifts average EPS growth to 10%.

We believe a DCF is the best way to reflect the company’s potential. Our probability-weighted DCF model for Securitas offers a value of SEK 90 per share, ranging from a bull-case scenario value of SEK 105 per share to our bear scenario value of SEK 74 per share.

In our bull-case scenario, we factor in 5.3% sales growth declining to 3% over our forecast period. At the same time we see the EBITA margin increasing 0.5pp thanks to a more specialised service and faster growth in Mobile and Monitoring. In the bear-case scenario our growth assumptions fall from 4% to 3%, which is at the lower end of the forecast range for the industry. Lower growth would put further pressure on margins.

Multiples comparison

We benchmark Securitas against a peer group comprised of security firms and support services companies based on a range of relative multiples.

Our main conclusions from the relative valuation are that:

• Based on 2008 multiples, Securitas trades at a discount to the peer group of 11% on P/E and a more moderate 2% on EV/EBIT. 2009 estimates give a similar picture.

• Compared with its main competitor G4S, Securitas trades at discounts of 3% and 9% on 2008 and 2009 P/E, respectively, while the discount based on EV/EBIT is 5% and 5%, respectively. We believe a premium is justified for G4S based on its better growth opportunities, thanks to its high exposure to emerging markets.

Risks to our scenario Liabilities: Securitas operates in a politically and publicly sensitive area. It is vital that employees follow internal rules and guidelines rigorously in order to minimise legal scrutiny. Several liability lawsuits against Securitas following September 11 highlight the inherent danger. Liability lawsuits are still pending.

Cost pass-through: As more than 60% of operating costs are personnel-related, successful pass-through of wage drift is essential for maintaining profitability.

Currencies: Securitas is exposed to currency fluctuations which mainly affect sales as costs are in the same currency. The largest exposure is to the euro, but the dollar is the currency to follow closely given its volatility against the Swedish Krona. The impact of a change of SEK 0.01 against the dollar affects full-year profit before tax by SEK 1.3m, while the impact of a similar fluctuation in the euro is SEK 2.1m.

Interest rate: Net debt amounted to SEK 9.9bn at the end of 2007, corresponding to gearing of 112%. The impact of interest rate changes depends on the currencies and duration of Securitas’s loan portfolio.

This report has been prepared by Danske Markets Equities, which is a part of Danske Bank. Danske Bank is under supervision by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. The author of this report is Peter Trigarszky, Senior Analyst. Danske Bank has established procedures to prevent conflicts of interest and to ensure the provision of high quality research based on research objectivity and independence. These procedures are documented in the Danske Bank Research Policy. Employees within the Danske Bank Research Departments have been instructed that any request that might impair the objectivity and independence of research shall be referred to Research Management and to the Compliance Officer. Danske Bank Research departments are organised independently from and do not report to other Danske Bank business areas. Research analysts are remunerated in part based on the overall profitability of Danske Bank, which includes investment banking revenues, but do not receive bonuses or other remuneration linked to specific corporate finance or debt capital transactions. The Equity and Corporate Bonds analysts of Danske Bank are not permitted to invest in securities under coverage in their research sector. Danske Bank is a market maker and may as such hold positions in the financial instruments mentioned in this report. Danske Bank has made no agreement with Securitas to write this report. Danske Bank research reports are prepared in accordance with the Danish Society of Investment Professionals’ Ethical rules and the Recommendations of the Danish and Norwegian Securities Dealers Associations. Financial models and/or methodology used in this report Recommendations and opinions in this research are formed based on a combination of Discounted Cash Flow analysis, industry knowledge, peer group analysis, and company specific and market technical elements (events affecting both the financial and operational profile of the company). Forecasting of company sales and earnings is based on segmented bottom up models using subjective views of relevant future market developments. The output is aggregated into models for group profit and loss, balance sheets and cash flow estimates – all taking into account the recent development in historical reports. In addition, company guidance and financial guidance is taken into account. Risk warning Major risks connected with recommendations or opinions in this report, including a sensitivity analysis of relevant assumptions, are stated throughout the text. In addition, see the front page of this publication for a categorisation of the risk (above average, average, and below average) of investing in Securitas compared to the coverage universe as a whole. Expected updates This research product will be updated on a quarterly basis following the quarterly result statements from the company. Please see the front page of this research report for the first date of publication. Price-related data is calculated using the closing price from the day before publication. Recommendation structure The Danske Markets Equities Recommendation System is Absolute. It means that each stock is rated on the basis of a total return, measured by the upside potential (including dividends and capital reimbursement) over a 12 month time horizon. The Danske Markets Equities spectrum of recommendations (or ratings) for each stock comprises 5 categories: Buy, Accumulate (or Add), Hold, Reduce, Sell, (in short: B, A, H, R, S). In specific cases and for a limited period of time, the analysts do have to rate the stocks as Rating Suspended (RS) or Not Rated (NR), as explained below. Meaning of each rating or recommendation: • Buy: the stock is expected to generate a total return of over 20%+ during the next 12 months time horizon.

• Accumulate: the stock is expected to generate a total return of 10% to 20% during the next 12 months time horizon.

• Hold: the stock is expected to generate a total return of 0% to 10% during the next 12 months time horizon

• Reduce: the stock is expected to generate a total return of 0 to -10% during the next 12 months time horizon

• Sell: the stock is expected to generate a total return below -10% during the next 12 months time horizon

• Rating Suspended: the rating is suspended due to a capital operation (take-over bid, SPO, …) where the issuer or a related

party of the issuer is or could be involved or to a change of analyst covering the stock

• Not Rated: there is no rating for a company being floated (IPO) by the issuer or a related party of the issuer
