STOCKHOLM, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --

Record sales and higher operating margin

Reported revenue is the highest ever and operating profit continues to grow during the second quarter. Loomis' strong development is supported by the opening of societies post the pandemic in Europe, and continued success for SafePoint in the USA. Loomis Pay transaction volumes show an encouraging development, and we have now initiated a pilot in Spain.

The Group's second quarter organic growth was 16.1 percent (17.3) and operating margin (EBITA %) was 10.0 percent (9.0). In terms of organic growth Loomis Group have now reported three consecutive quarters with higher revenue than before the pandemic started.
