COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

 Strong organic sales growth
Organic sales growth was exceptionally strong in the last quarter of the year.
It was supported by continued good sales momentum in the US as well as by higher
levels of security needs in Europe and by continued positive development in
Spain and Latin America. We estimate that we grow faster than the security
markets in the US and Europe as well as in the Ibero-American countries, mainly
supported by our strategy of security solutions and technology.

Earnings per share improved
Earnings per share improved with 8 percent during 2015, adjusted for changes in
exchange rates. The operating margin was flat in the quarter and slightly up for
the full year.

Continued strong growth of security solutions and technology sales
The sales of security solutions and technology were strong. Real sales growth in
2015 was 38 percent (28) and sales amounted to BSEK 9.3 (6.5).

We believe that we can continue to grow the security solutions and technology
sales at a high pace in the coming years, and to make it a substantial part of
the Group’s total sales.

In addition, the acquisition of the commercial contracts and operational assets
of Diebold Incorporated’s Electronic Security business in North America is an
important step on this journey and enables us to offer completely integrated
security solutions to our customers in North America. The acquisition was
finalized on February 1, 2016, from which date it was consolidated in Securitas.
