Loomis Interim Report January – March 2026

STOCKHOLM, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 

Strong currency-adjusted growth and margin expansion

Our performance in the first quarter was strong. Revenue reached SEK 7.5 billion despite significant currency headwinds and we achieved an organic growth of 5.9 percent and a currency-adjusted growth of 9.3 percent. Both segment USA and segment Europe and Latin America contributed to the positive development with notably strong performance within our International and Automated Solutions business lines. We increased our EBITA margin by 1 percentage point year–over–year to 12.6 percent by successfully growing our business and executing our operational efficiency measures.

We continue to have a strong operating cash flow and balance sheet, which has enabled us to invest in the business, pursue acquisitions, and deliver the highest dividend in our history to shareholders. The cash flow from operating activities in relation to our EBITA for the latest twelve months was 95 percent.
