Loomis Interim Report: Strong Results for Q3 2025

Loomis AB has released its interim report for the period of January to September 2025, highlighting robust performance in the third quarter that reflects both organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. Despite facing a significant adverse impact from currency fluctuations, Loomis managed to achieve compelling results that underscore its operational efficiency.

In the third quarter, Loomis reported revenues totaling SEK 7.644 billion, a marginal increase from SEK 7.624 billion in the previous year. When adjusted for currency effects, the company experienced a revenue growth of 7.1%, with organic growth computed at 3.9%. The growth trajectory has been further supported by strategic acquisitions, which accounted for 3.2% of the growth. However, when factoring in currency fluctuations, the total growth results in a more modest 0.3%.

Additionally, the operating income (EBITA) for the quarter reached SEK 1.006 billion, an increase from SEK 981 million in 2024, marking an increase in the operating margin to 13.2%, up from 12.9% year-on-year. The company's focus on improving operational efficiencies has played a pivotal role in this advancement, yielding an impressive operating cash flow that nearly hit SEK 1 billion for the quarter.

The notable drop in cash flow from operating activities, from SEK 1,314 million to SEK 978 million, indicates the challenges the company faced. However, cash flow still stood at 97% of operating income (EBITA), demonstrating effective management of cash resources. Loomis's ongoing efforts include restructuring initiatives within their European and Latin American segments, which impacted the comparative items by totaling SEK -23 million for the quarter.
