II. 15 Product Segments: Full Industry Chain Coverage, Meeting Both Established & Emerging Demands

FHC2025 expands its product sections to 15 categories for the first time. Covering the entire F&B industry chain from upstream ingredients to downstream processing equipment, and from traditional staple categories to emerging potential sectors, it precisely matches the sourcing needs of diverse retail channels. Notably, the two newly added sections—baby & child food products and food & medicine homology—have become key points of interest this year.

Classic Staple Categories: Shelf-Staple Products Continuously Updated

1. The Meat Products section gathers excellent brands like Bright Meat, Dandenong, Hormel, Yurun, and STATE FARM, offering chilled meats, jerky, sausages, prepared steaks, etc., adaptable for snacks, meal accompaniments, ready-to-eat dishes, and more, with flexible packaging suitable for warehouse clubs, community retail, and convenience stores.
2. The Snack Foods section features brands like Wolong, Hershey’s, YOUJIA, Juanzi, and Best Choice, bringing “small-pack, healthier” snacks aligned with current consumption habits, ideal for checkout counter placement in convenience stores.
3. The Dairy Products section includes items like Milkground cheese sticks, Arla ambient milk, and Weidendorf pure milk, addressing pain points for tea & beverage shops while meeting diverse consumer demands for specific dairy needs.

Emerging Potential Categories: Exploring New Consumer Blue Oceans

1. The Baby & Child Food Products section has attracted over 50 exhibitors, covering categories such as organic supplementary food, maternal and child health food, and nutritional dietary supplements.
2. The Food & Medicine Homology section includes traditional health foods (ejiao, wolfberry, black sesame, poria, red date products) and new favorites in healthy eating (turmeric, prickly pear, five-finger peach, and other popular items).
3. Products like Russian cedar nuts, birch sap, Thai tropical dried fruits, South African wine, and Ecuadorian premium chocolate still have blue ocean markets in domestic retail channels and possess “differentiation” advantages, suitable for premium supermarkets and imported food stores to build distinctive shelves.

Supporting Service Categories: Intelligent Catering Technology Drives Cost Reduction & Efficiency Improvement

III. 50+ International Pavilions: Global Goods Direct Supply, Easily Creating Differentiated Assortments

More than 50 international pavilions (with 350 international exhibitors) bring characteristic foods from around the world. Retail merchants can connect with source suppliers without cross-border sourcing, communicate purchase intentions face-to-face, and reduce matching costs and risks.

Comments from the President and CEO 

“Strong delivery with an operating margin exceeding 8% in the third quarter”

We achieved an important milestone in the third quarter, delivering an operating margin exceeding 8 percent. This is the result of strong strategic execution and performance across all our business segments. We are on the right track to achieve our financial target of an operating margin of 8 percent in the second half of 2025. 

Organic sales growth was in line with our expectations, driven by strong performance in security services in North America. In security services Europe, organic sales growth was hampered by the ongoing active portfolio management activities. Real sales growth in tech­nol­ogy and solutions was 4 percent, which is below our expectations and will be a priority area the coming quarters. 

We generated solid operating cash flow in the third quarter, and nine months into 2025 we have improved our cash generation substantially compared to last year. This supported continued deleveraging, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.2.

A RESILIENT BUSINESS

Our clients navigate a complex risk landscape where our long-term partnership approach, supported by deep security expertise, a global presence and AI-enabled digital capabilities, makes us the preferred security partner in the market. 

In a time marked by global uncertainty, geopolitical risks and macro volatility, our resilient business model has consistently demonstrated its strength by delivering local security services close to our clients. Despite ongoing uncertainty, we had no material impact from shifts in the global trade landscape in the third quarter.

PROFITABILITY A PRIORITY

The third quarter performance confirms a material profitability improvement in both technology and solutions, and in security services. In technology and solutions, our strengthened commercial offering and cost management resulted in an operating margin of 11.7 percent (11.2). In the security services business, active portfolio management and increasing margins on new sales, improved the operating margin to 6.9 percent (6.6). In recent years, we have taken a disciplined approach to address the most underperforming security services contracts in our portfolio and we expect the vast majority of this work to be completed across Europe by the first half of 2026. 

The ongoing business optimization program has been well executed and contributed to the margin improvement in the third quarter. The targeted MSEK 200 in annualized savings has in all material aspects been executed as of the third quarter. 

The close-down of the government business within SCIS started in the third quarter and is progressing according to plan. The close-down will positively impact the Group’s long-term profitability and cash generation and we estimate that the process will be largely completed by the end of 2026. Although we have some remaining work to refine our business portfolio to sharpen our long-term performance and competitive position, the strategic assessment program is now nearing its end and we expect to conclude the final activities in the coming quarters. 

CREATING LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

Our strategy to build a more scalable Securitas focused on technology and digital capabilities is yielding results. We have delivered 19 quarters of consecutive operating margin improvement and have strengthened our operational cash flow generation consistently over time. In the third quarter, we delivered a record-high operating margin and achieved 19 percent growth of earnings per share. Today’s Securitas is a more resilient and future-proof company, well-positioned to continue to generate long-term value for our shareholders.
