Comments from the President and CEO

"8 percent operating margin target achieved"

"We delivered a strong fourth quarter and exceeded our target to achieve an operating margin of 8 percent in the second half year of 2025. Performance was strong across all segments. North America recorded 10 percent operating margin for the first time in our history and Europe delivered another quarter with more than 8 percent operating margin.

Organic sales growth was in line with our expectations. Technology and solutions real sales growth was 6 percent, an important improvement supporting continued mix change in the business.

Cash generation was solid in the quarter. For the full year operating cash flow was 88 percent (84) of operating income. We have consistently strengthened our cash generation over the last years and the strong cash flow enabled continued reduction of our net debt to EBITDA ratio to 2.1.

A RESILIENT BUSINESS

Our clients operate in a dynamic and complex risk environment. The continued growing demand for security, combined with our long-term partnership model, global presence and unmatched capabilities, positions us as their preferred security partner. Our services are primarily delivered locally, forming the foundation of our resilient business model, which in 2025 experienced no material impact from ongoing geopolitical volatility or shifts in global trade.

PROFITABILITY A PRIORITY

Our profitability improvement is a result of consistent strategic execution across all areas of the business. In the fourth quarter, a strengthened commercial offering and disciplined cost management improved the operating margin to 12.7 percent (11.6) in technology and solutions. In security services, active portfolio management and improved margins on new sales supported an operating margin increase to 6.6 percent (5.5).

While the evaluation of underperforming contracts is an ongoing part of our operations, we expect to complete the majority of the current portfolio of underperforming security services contracts in Europe by the first half of 2026. The business optimization program concluded as planned, delivering the targeted MSEK 200 in annual savings in the fourth quarter.

Our strategic assessment program is nearing its end with limited remaining activities. The close-down of the SCIS government business is progressing according to plan.

CLIENT-CENTRIC STRATEGIC EXECUTION

During the last few years, we have strengthened our value proposition and profitability in our guarding business, developed a globally leading position in technology and built a more modern and digital business. As the threat landscape becomes more dynamic, we see a growing need from our clients for digital risk intelligence solutions that enable more proactive security programs. We started building our risk intelligence capability five years ago and now accelerate our position in this high growth market as we in February 2026 signed a binding agreement to acquire Liferaft, a leading SaaS threat intelligence platform provider currently focused on the North American market.

The acquisition creates significant opportunities to apply Liferaft's threat-intelligence capabilities across our client base. It also contributes to the development of a more scalable Securitas and strengthens the growth of our high-margin recurring monthly revenue business, which today exceeds BSEK 1.

CREATING LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

Delivering on our target of 8 percent operating margin is important, but only a milestone on an exciting journey with substantial opportunities ahead. We have delivered 20 consecutive quarters of operating margin improvement and consistently strengthened our cash flow generation. We strengthened our full-year operating margin to 7.4 percent (6.9) and increased earnings per share with 18 percent in 2025.

Securitas today is a more resilient, scalable, and future-proof company - well positioned to continue generating long-term value for our shareholders. This would not have been possible without our Securitas colleagues and our strong client and partner relationships and I would like to thank you for the great contributions during the year."
