Securitas pivots to intelligence-led security with 2030 growth plan

The company’s updated financial framework targets a 10 percent average annual growth in earnings per share over the business cycle. This objective is supported by a long-term ambition to exceed a 10 percent operating margin. To ensure fiscal discipline while scaling its technological capabilities, Securitas has set a target for operating cash flow at 80–90 percent of operating income, maintaining net debt below 2.5x EBITDA.

Magnus Ahlqvist, President and CEO, stated that the strategy integrates deep security expertise with advanced data to deliver proactive solutions. The company intends to function as a strategic advisor rather than a service provider, leveraging its global footprint to capture more value within the security sector. This transition reflects a departure from labor-intensive models toward an insight-driven approach.

The dividend policy remains set at 50–60 percent of annual net income, with a provision to return excess capital to shareholders once growth investments are satisfied. Further details regarding the execution of this roadmap will be provided during the company's Capital Markets Day on June 16.
