COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

Organic sales growth reached 5 percent in the first quarter, an improvement
reflected in all business segments. The improved macro economy in the US
supported the growth and Spain turned to positive organic sales growth for the
first time in several years.

Earnings per share improved The operating margin remained stable and earnings
per share improved with 10 percent in real terms in the first quarter.

Technology is reshaping the security industry We have been preparing for the
paradigm shift in the security industry for the past four years. Our strategy is
clear: to integrate on-site, remote and mobile guarding services with technology
solutions to achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction through cost
-efficiency and added value.

Increasing the sales of security solutions and technology will continue to be
the most important strategic focus of Securitas in years to come. In 2014,
security solutions and technology sales grew with 28 percent compared to 2013.
We estimate that we can continue to grow the sales of security solutions and
technology in at least the same range in 2015 and the trend in the first quarter
supports that target.

President and Chief Executive Officer
