Loomis AB reported a strong start to 2026, delivering SEK 7.5 billion in first-quarter revenue despite significant currency headwinds, with currency-adjusted growth of 9.3% and organic growth of 5.9%. Profitability improved as the EBITA margin rose to 12.6% from 11.6%, and net income increased to SEK 530 million, while operating cash flow remained robust at SEK 797 million.

Both the U.S. and Europe/Latin America segments posted solid organic growth, driven by International and Automated Solutions, with the U.S. business achieving record EBITA and a 17.9% margin. Loomis also advanced its strategic agenda by entering Peru via the planned acquisition of Hermes Transportes Blindados, sharpening its SME focus, and securing validation of new science-based climate targets as cash’s societal role is reinforced by new cash-acceptance laws in key markets.
