Brief Excerpt:

...Good afternoon, everyone, and a warm welcome to our Q2 call. We are on the right path as a company, and implementing our strategy with full force. And today, we are proud to present a solid set of results for the second quarter. Q2 is a strong quarter with solid results. We have been working quite hard over the last 18 months. We're sharpening the business. And the transformation programs are running according to plan, and this work is generating results. Organic sales growth was 8% in the quarter, and the comparatives from Q2 were obviously weak. But we have increased commercial activity like we commented after Q1 as well. And momentum in the last 6 months is also improving. The operating margin improved to 5.6%, which is a substantial improvement versus the same period last year, but also when comparing with 2019. And the margin was supported by strong performance improvement in all business segments and by returning to more normal levels of provisioning. And we are on par in terms of...

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

(Questions from industry analysts are provided in full, but answers are omitted - download the transcript to see the full question-and-answer session)

Question: Erik Paulsson - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst : So first of all, I was thinking about the strategy to double your Security Solutions and Electronic Security sales by 2023. And obviously, this new acquisition of Protection One helps a bit on this journey. But still, you're quite a bit far from this of doubling. It's up to SEK 40 billion in 2023. How do you feel about this at the moment?


Question: Erik Paulsson - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Understood. And just a final one also on -- you mentioned there on North American airport contract, which you had ended there. And that will affect your guarding business negatively for the next 12 months here. How large is this contract in sales you?


Question: Andrew Charles Grobler - CrTdit Suisse AG, Research Division - Analyst : Just 2 from me, if I may. Firstly, on the U.S. or North American transformation program, which is kind of coming towards this end. Any comment on any benefits that accrued through the first half of this year and kind of what your expectations are for the full year from that program in isolation? And then secondly, for Bart, just in terms of the interest charge, that's remained, I think, lower than consensus expectations in the first -- well, in Q2. What's your guidance for the full year as of now for cash and P&L interest charge, please?


Question: Andrew Charles Grobler - CrTdit Suisse AG, Research Division - Analyst : And why the increase in the second half?


Question: Oscar Val Mas - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Magnus and Bart, I have 2 questions. The first one on the extra sales. So it's declined a bit to 16%, but it's still above the 14% from 2019. Can you just remind me of those extra sales, how much is COVID? And how much is the events in travel coming back? And is there any visibility for Q3 for extra sales? When should we start to think about that business going back to normal? And then the second question is just around your North American -- your large North American competitor. Have you seen any change in behavior in terms of pricing now that they're integrating the big acquisition?


Question: Oscar Val Mas - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. And...


Question: Oscar Val Mas - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Sorry. Quickly, as a follow-up, have you given -- can you give the amount of extra sales in Europe versus the U.S?
