CEO comments
In his AGM speech CEO Lars Blecko said that the operating income 2008 of 748 M
SEK resulted in an operating margin of 6.6 percent, an important step towards
one of the Group's financial targets of obtaining an operating margin of 8
percent no later than 2010. Even if the objective was fulfilled in the European
operations during 2008 it was not sufficient in order for the Group as a whole
to reach this objective, he stated. As important contributions to the
improvements in Europe Lars Blecko pointed to cost cuttings and enhanced
efficiency in a number of countries.

He also commented on the first quarter results for 2009 which shows an
improvement of 44 M SEK compared to the corresponding period previous year, an
increased operating margin from 5.3 to 5.8 percent.

-The increased operating margin is mainly due to improved results in our US
operations where continuous work to raise margins in loss-making branches and
the elimination of indirect costs has been successful, Lars Blecko said.

He expects that the ongoing restructuring within the US operations, aiming at
strengthening focus at the branch offices, will lead to further result
improvements.

Lars Blecko also expressed his satisfaction that 77 top level managers invested
more than 20 M SEK in Loomis AB during February through purchase of
sub-scription warrants in the company at conditions in tune with the market.
