Organic sales growth in
the Group was 4 percent (6) in the third quarter and
5 percent (6) in the first nine months. The good organic sales growth was supported by North America and Ibero- America, however hampered by the previously communicated contracts losses in Europe.
We have the strongest offering
of protective services and we grew faster than the security
market in general during the first nine months.
In terms of the macroeconomic environment, we see a slowdown in some key markets during the second half of 2019. Security solutions and electronic security sales grew by 11 percent in the first nine months, and now represent 21 percent of total Group sales.
The operating margin in
the third quarter was unchanged at 5.6 percent (5.6). It was also unchanged in the first nine months at 5.1 percent (5.1), with a good performance in North America and Ibero- America. Labor markets are increasingly challenging in all our geographies, and managing the price and wage balance will remain a key focus this year as well as going into 2020.
The cost savings program
in Europe, initiated in 2018, developed according to plan and supported the operating margin.
The operating result, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, grew with 5 percent in the first nine months.
Earnings per share in the first nine months was, adjusted for changes in exchange rates and items affecting comparability, slightly behind last year negatively impacted by a higher effective tax rate in the US and by a negative net effect from IFRS 16.
Operating and free cash flow improved compared with the first nine months last year. Our strong focus on cash management has paid off but remains a key priority across all business segments.
Driving the transformation
We continue to drive the implementation of the two transformation programs that will bring increased efficiency, modernization and innovation. While the positive impact from these programs is still a few years out, we are progressing according to plan with the execution.
Offering solutions to our clients is a core part of our strategy, and we continue to build a stronger capability within technology
to enable further growth.
Our ambition is to increase security solutions and electronic security sales, as part of total Group sales, during the coming years. During a time when we see slowing growth in some economies yet upward wage pressure, being able to offer
a solution as an alternative to our clients is as important as ever to enhance value to our clients and to manage total cost.
During the second half of the year, we are also working with the previously announced key leadership transitions.
We have an Investor Day on the 5th of December in Stockholm, where we will share more about our strategy and you will also get to meet some of the great leaders in the Securitas team.

As of July 1, 2018, Securitas has adopted IAS 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies for our operations in Argentina. When calculating the key ratios for organic sales growth percentage and real change percentage, the impact from the remeasurement is treated similarly to currency change. The calculated key ratio percentages are thus comparable as to how these were calculated before the adoption of IAS 29. The impact from IAS 29 is a remeasurement of sales with MSEK-19(-65) and
a remeasurementof operating income before amortization of MSEK -2(-3) for the first nine months 2019.
July-September 2019
Organic sales growth was 12 percent (14). The development primarily related to Spain and reductions of the short-term security solutions contracts referred to during the past
12 months. The organic sales growth was positively impacted by price increases in Argentina.
Security solutions and electronic security sales represented MSEK 853 (834) or 26 percent (27) of total sales in
the business segment.
The operating margin was 4.7 percent (4.7). Spain showed continued good performance although slightly negatively impacted by the reduction of high margin security solutions contracts, a reduction that is expected to continue in
the coming quarters. The operating margin was burdened by Argentina. The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases had a positive impact on the operating result in the business segment.
The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened against the Argentinian peso while it weakened against the Euro. The net effect was negative on operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change in the segment was 18 percent
in the third quarter.
January-September 2019
Organic sales growth was 15 percent (11). The improvement derived mainly from Spain and from price increases in Argentina. The client retention rate was 91 percent (92).
Security solutions and electronic security sales represented MSEK 2 656 (2 413) or 27 percent (26) of total sales in the business segment.
The operating margin was 4.7 percent (4.6), supported by Spain but burdened by Argentina where the situation remains challenging. As communicated in the second quarter, management changes have been made in Argentina and the investigation into improper behavior is on-going. Further actions will be taken where required.
The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases had a positive impact on the operating result in the business segment.
The Swedish krona exchange rate strengthened against the Argentinian peso while it weakened against the Euro. The net effect was negative on operating income in Swedish kronor. The real change in the segment was 12 percent

Capital employed and financing
Capital employed as of September 30, 2019
The Group's operating capital employed was MSEK 13 968 (9 199 as of December 31, 2018), corresponding to
13 percent of sales (9 as of December 31, 2018), adjusted for the full-year sales figures of acquired units. Adjusted for the impact of IFRS 16 Leases the operating capital employed as percent of sales would have been 9 percent (9 as of December 31, 2018). The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases increased the Group´s operating capital employed by MSEK 3 433 as of January 1, 2019, while the translation of foreign operating capital employed to Swedish kronor increased the Group's operating capital employed by MSEK 539.
The annual impairment test of all Cash Generating Units (CGU), which is required under IFRS, took place during the third quarter 2019 in conjunction with the business plan process for 2020. In 2019, IFRS 16 has been adopted on segment level. The Group has changed the level of impairment testing for goodwill from country level to
segment level. None of the CGUs tested for impairment had a carrying amount that exceeded the recoverable amount. Consequently, no impairment losses have been recognized in 2019. No impairment losses were recognized in 2018 either.
The Group's total capital employed was MSEK 38 780
(32 170 as of December 31, 2018). The translation of foreign capital employed to Swedish kronor increased the Group's capital employed by MSEK 2 058. The return on capital employed was 14 percent (15 as of December 31, 2018). Adjusted for the impact of IFRS 16 Leases the return on capital employed would have been 15 percent (15 as of December 31, 2018).
Financing as of September 30, 2019
The Group's net debt amounted to MSEK 19 415 (14 513 as of December 31, 2018). The net debt was positively impacted mainly by the free cash flow of MSEK 1 840. It was negatively impacted mainly by a change in lease liabilities of MSEK -3 475, a dividend of MSEK -1 606, paid to the shareholders in May 2019, the translation of net debt in foreign currency to Swedish kronor of MSEK -1 124 and payments for acquisitions of MSEK -389.
The free cash flow to net debt ratio amounted to 0.18 (0.12). The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.5 (2.5). The interest coverage ratio amounted to 9.1 (11.9). Adjusted for the impact of IFRS 16 Leases the free cash flow to net debt ratio would have been 0.21 (0.12) and the net debt to EBITDA ratio would have been 2.3 (2.5), while the interest coverage ratio would have been 10.9 (11.9).
Securitas has a revolving credit facility with its 12 key relationship banks. This credit facility comprises two respective tranches of MUSD 550 and MEUR 440 and matures in 2022. On September 30, 2019, the facility was undrawn. Further information regarding financial instruments and credit facilities is provided in note 9.
Standard and Poor's rating for Securitas is BBB with stable outlook.
Shareholders' equity amounted to MSEK 19 365 (17 657 as of December 31, 2018). The translation of foreign assets and liabilities into Swedish kronor increased shareholders' equity by MSEK 934. Refer to the statement of comprehensive income on page 15 for further information.
The total number of shares amounted to 365 058 897 (365 058 897) as of September 30, 2019. On June 24, 2019, 125 000 shares were repurchased. Refer to page 18 for further information.

as contingent liabilities. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgments under different circumstances and conditions.
For the forthcoming three-month period, the financial impact of certain items affecting comparability, provisions and contingent liabilities, as described in the Annual Report for 2018 and, where applicable, under the heading "Other significant events" above, may vary from the current financial estimates and provisions made by management.

Usage of key ratios not defined in IFRS
For definitions and calculations of key ratios not defined in IFRS, refer to notes 5 and 6 in this interim report as well as to note 3 in the Annual Report 2018.
Securitas has adopted IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019. The cumulative effect of
the adoption has been recognized without restatement of the comparative periods.
Securitas' lease agreements are mainly attributable to buildings and vehicles. As from the transition to IFRS 16, they are accounted for as right-of-use assets and long-term and current lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
In the consolidated statement of income, depreciation of the right-of-use assets is accounted for on the lines production expenses and selling and administrative expenses. Interest expenses are accounted for on the line financial income and expenses. In the Group´s segment overviews, the effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 are accounted for under each segment.
The lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 have been measured at the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted by using the incremental borrowing rate for each country. The right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019 have been measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities.
Extension clauses are evaluated for each lease agreement and are applied based on the best estimate at each closing. Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application have been accounted for as short-term leases and are thus excluded from the lease liabilities accounted for under IFRS 16.
The effects on the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated balance sheet from the adoption of IFRS 16 are specified in the tables below.

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 customer site.
The revenue recognition pattern is over time, as the services are rendered by Securitas and simultaneously consumed by the customers. A security solution normally constitutes one performance obligation.
Electronic security consists of the sale of alarm installations comprising design and installation (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 security 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 customers. 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 is also a to a limited extent product sales (alarms and components) without any design or installation. The revenue recognition is at a point in time (upon delivery).
Other
Other comprises mainly corporate risk management services that are either recognized over time or at a point in time as well as other ancillary business.
Other operating income
Other operating income consists in its entirety of trade mark fees for the use of the Securitas brand name.
Revenue per segment
The disaggregation of revenue by segment is shown in the table below. Total sales agree to total sales in the segment overviews.

Calculation: 13 968 / 111 243 = 13%
Return on operating capital employed
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus items affecting comparability (rolling 12 months) as a percentage of the average balance of operating capital employed.
Calculation: (5 716 - 313) / ((13 968 + 9 199) / 2) = 47%
Return on capital employed
Operating income before amortization (rolling 12 months) plus items affecting
comparability(rolling 12 months) as a percentage of closing balance of capital employed.
Calculation: (5 716 - 313) / 38 780 = 14%
