Loomis AB: A Strong Quarter Amid Strategic Moves

In a recent update, Loomis AB, the Swedish company renowned for its armed car services to banks and commercial enterprises, has demonstrated a robust financial performance in the second quarter of 2025. The company, listed on the Swedish Stock Exchange, reported an EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization) of 944 million SEK, surpassing analysts’ expectations of 917 million SEK. This positive outcome is attributed to effective cost-cutting measures and a favorable business mix, as highlighted in their half-year report.

Despite a 3.0% decline in revenue to 7,407 million SEK, the company’s EBITA margin improved, reflecting the impact of strategic efficiency improvements. The organic growth in Europe and Latin America exceeded expectations, although the U.S. segment experienced slightly lower growth than anticipated. This mixed regional performance underscores Loomis’s diverse operational footprint across Europe and the United States.

In a strategic move to enhance shareholder value, Loomis’s board has approved a share buyback program of up to 200 million SEK, set to commence on July 28 and conclude on September 29, 2025. This decision signals confidence in the company’s financial health and future prospects.

Further expanding its service offerings, Loomis has acquired Kipfer-Logistik, a Swiss logistics firm specializing in temperature-controlled transport for pharmaceuticals and healthcare. This acquisition, expected to be finalized by September 1, 2025, aligns with Loomis’s strategic vision to diversify and strengthen its logistics capabilities.

As Loomis prepares to present its quarterly financial results on July 25, 2025, the market anticipates continued strong performance. Analysts predict an EPS (Earnings Per Share) of 7.17 SEK, up from 5.65 SEK in the same period last year. With a market capitalization of 27.81 billion SEK and a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.92, Loomis remains a compelling investment in the industrials sector.

In summary, Loomis AB’s strategic initiatives, coupled with its solid financial performance, position the company well for sustained growth and shareholder value creation in the coming quarters.
