Comments from the CEO, Juan Vallejo
”When we look back on the past year, we can declare that 2006 was both a historical and successful year for Securitas Systems. For the full year 2006, Systems showed organic sales growth of 9 percent and total sales growth of 10 percent. The pro forma operating margin before amortization was in line with expectations. The fourth quarter was strong, with organic sales growth of 14 percent. In December we signed an agreement to acquire Larmassistans Teknik AB in Sweden during 2007, as well as 75 percent of the Italian company, CIS SpA, which means that Systems will be present in a total of 17 countries. During the year, we also acquired Elmaco (Belgium), Premier Systems Solutions (USA), as well as NOR Security (Norway). Systems estimate that the positive market development will continue during 2007. Organic sales growth for 2007 is expected to be in line with 2006. At the same time, we anticipate that acquisition growth will be higher than during 2006.”
