Loomis financing

Loomis has a fundamentally strong cash generation and Loomis’ capital and financial risk management aims to create a stable and secure financial situation – both on short and long-term. 

 

The Group should at all times strive to optimize the capital structure to signal focus on shareholder value and a disciplined approach to the capital structure to maintain a solid investment grade profile. The intention of the net debt/EBITDA ratio is to over time see a leverage of <2x.

 

The financing sources are diversified so that Loomis will not be dependent on any specific counterparty, source, instrument, its liquidity and to ensure competitive market terms. By maintaining a balanced maturity profile for the Group’s borrowing, financing risk can be reduced. The Group’s goal is for no more than 25 percent of its total external borrowing and credit obligations to mature within the coming 12-month period. And the aim is that the average maturity of long-term debts should be between 2 to 7 years and to have an evenly spread maturity profile. 

 

Sustainability-Linked Financing

Loomis has issued Sustainability-Linked Bonds since 2021 under its Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework (Framework). By integrating sustainability into the business and in the financing of the company, Loomis creates value not only for shareholders but also for customers, employees, partners, and society at large.


In 2024 Loomis updated its Framework, thereby extending its commitment to sustainable finance. The Framework allows Loomis to raise capital through sustainability-linked bonds and loans (Sustainability-LinkedDebt Instrument). The purpose of the Framework is to define the KPIs, SPTs, financial characteristics, reporting and verification related to Loomis’ Sustainability-Linked Debt Instruments.

 

 

Second party opinion

Loomis has engaged Sustainalytics to provide a second party opinion to this Framework assessing the relevance, robustness, reliability, and ambition level of the selected KPIs and SPTs and confirming its alignment with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles.
