“I am pleased to present another quarter with strong growth and continued margin
improvement. The quarter was characterized by the integration of VIA MAT and a
sustained focus on continuous improvements at our branches. The growth is mainly
attributable to the acquisition of VIA MAT, implementation of new contracts and
strong growth in the USA. The profitability improvement is primarily a result of
a strong growth within Cash Management Services and Loomis SafePoint® as well as
continuous work to improve efficiency is continuing to yield results”, states
Loomis President and CEO Jarl Dahlfors.
