Intrum Justitia changes accounting standard and publishes restated historical
figures according to IFRS 8

As earlier indicated, the company will apply a new accounting standard, IFRS 8
Operating segments, as of the first quarter 2009. One result hereof is that
external reporting will be modified to reflect how operations in the regions are
co-ordinated and governed. The new reported regions will be Sweden, Norway &
Denmark; Netherlands & Belgium; Switzerland, Germany & Austria; France, Spain,
Portugal & Italy; Finland, Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania; United Kingdom &
Ireland, and Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia & Hungary. The new regional
breakdown necessitates a minor change compared with the financial reporting in
previous years. Consequently, Intrum Justitia today is publishing quarterly
figures for the years 2006-2008 prepared according to the new breakdown. Shown
in addition to operating earnings (EBIT) are Purchased Debt revaluations and
operating earnings by region, excluding net revaluations and acquisition-related
depreciation and write-down charges. 

The figures are available on the Group's website, www.intrum.com, under the tab
Investors > Financial facts > Restated figures. 

In the upcoming interim report for the first quarter 2009 (April 28), this
information will be provided in table form. In the presentation in connection
with the interim report, the emphasis will be on the earnings line “Operating
earnings excluding net revaluations and acquisition-related depreciation and
write-down charges.” In line with previous reporting, the figures for
revaluations and acquisition-related depreciation and write-down charges will be
denoted in the text as well.
