Ashley Almanza, Group Chief Executive, commented: "There was strong demand for our services across key markets and industry sectors in the first half of the year which resulted in continued revenue growth.  Growth was particularly strong in developing markets where we have excellent market positions. There are significant growth opportunities in our key markets and this is reflected in our growing contract pipeline of around £4 billion per annum. On a like-for-like basis, half-year profits were in line with the same period in 2012 against a background of challenging trading conditions in Europe and in our cash solutions businesses in the UK and Ireland. We are divesting a number of non-core businesses, which will improve our strategic focus and realise substantial cash proceeds. We have announced two disposals today with combined cash proceeds of around £100 million and we have a well advanced process to sell two other businesses in the US. We are also considering other disposals and these together with those already announced have the potential to raise up to £250 million. We need to strengthen our balance sheet to be able to realise the group's opportunity for substantial value creation. Today we have announced our intention to raise funds via a 9.99% placing of new ordinary shares.  This, together with our disposals program and a renewed focus on cash flow management will enable us to invest in sustainable, profitable growth and reduce our debt to a level which supports our goal of maintaining a long term net debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 2.5x. On the operational front, we plan to introduce systems and processes to improve efficiency and risk management and we will be restructuring a number of businesses to ensure that they are more competitive and able to deliver improved margins. Our unique geographic footprint, strong market positions and the skills and capabilities embodied in our employees, coupled with our diverse and global customer base provide us with a solid foundation from which we can continue to build the business. Our strong contract pipeline, strengthened balance sheet, focused investment programme and improved operational and financial management all support the delivery of revenue growth, operational efficiencies and improved cash generation. In the near term, 2013 will be a year of consolidation for the group with the actions we are now taking starting to deliver tangible benefits during 2014."

Finally, upon adoption of the revised retirement benefits accounting standard (IAS19(R)) prior year PBITA has been restated to include pension administration costs that were previously reported within interest. +---------------------------------------------+-------------+------------------+ |    | June 2012| December 2012| | | | | |Adjustments to prior year reported numbers| | | |for discontinued businesses and exchange rate|Revenue PBITA|Revenue PBITA| |movements: | | | |  | | | +---------------------------------------------+-------------+------------------+ |As reported in 2012     | 3,903 236| 7,501 516| | | | | |  | | | |Discontinued businesses     |    |    | | | | | |North America     | (333) (9)| (230) (14)| | | | | |Europe     | (72) (2)| (147) (3)| | | | | |Asia Middle East     | (42) (5)| - -| | | | | |Africa     | (7) -| (14) (1)| | | | | |Total     | (454) (16)| (391) (18)| | | | | |      |    |    | | | | | |Other presentational | | | |adjustments     |    |    | | | | | |Less: Impairments and other | | | |items     | - (19)| -       (24)| | | | | |Less: Profit on disposal of | | | |fixed assets and | | | |subsidiaries     | - -| -       (5)| | | | | |Less: Pension admin cost | | | |restatement from IAS 19(R)     | - (1)| - (3)| | | | | |      |    |    | | | | | |Total restated 2012 results | | | |at actual rates     | 3,449 200| 7,110 466| | | | | |Less Olympics contract     | (80) -| (204) -| | | | | |Underlying 2012 results at | | | |actual rates     | 3,369 200| 6,906 466| | | | | |      |    |    | | | | | |FX     | 33 2| 118 8| | | | | |      |    |    | | | | | |Underlying 2012 results at | | | |current rates     | 3,402 202| 7,024 474| | | | | |Add back Olympics contract     | 80 -| 204 -| | | | | |Total 2012 results at | | | |current rates     | 3,482 202| 7,228 474| | | | | |      |    |    | +---------------------------------------------+-------------+------------------+ Underlying earnings per share is reconciled to basic earnings per share on page 24.  2012 underlying EPS has been restated to include pensions interest under the revised employee benefits accounting standard IAS19(R) to reflect usual practice in our sector. +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Underlying earnings per share |H1 13|H1 12 at constant FX|H1 12| | | | | | | | £m| £m| £m| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |PBITA from continuing operations | 201| 202| 200| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Interest (including pensions) | (65)| (54)| (54)| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Tax (including pensions interest) | (33)| (32)| (32)| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Minorities | (10)| (9)| (9)| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Underlying profit attributable to | 93| 107| 105| |shareholders | | | | +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Average number of shares (m) |1,403| 1,404|1,404| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ |Underlying EPS (p) | 6.6| 7.6| 7.5| +---------------------------------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+ GROUP COMMENTARY - CONTINUING OPERATIONS Sales In the first half of 2013, underlying sales were up 7.2% on the prior period.  Organic growth was 5.4% overall and 13% in developing markets which generated revenue of £1.3 billion, 36% of group revenue (2012: 33%). Developed markets growth was impacted by a 1% decline in cash solutions. PBITA Group underlying PBITA was £201 million and was in line with the same period last year (2012: £202 million).  The first half of 2012 PBITA has been restated to reflect principally discontinued businesses (£16 million) and impairment and other items (£19 million). Full details are set out on page 4. Underlying PBITA margins were 5.5% for the first half of the year (2012: 5.9%). Developing markets generated 41% of PBITA (2012: 35%). A review of the group's assets and liabilities (see page 22) has resulted in a one-off charge of £132 million at PBITA level and £48 million in relation to goodwill impairment. Restructuring programmes have commenced in the UK, Europe and Ireland at an expected cost of £30-35 million over 2013 and 2014. We will continue to look for further opportunities to save costs across the group. A restructuring charge of £4 million was taken in the first half of 2013. Interest and tax Net interest payable on net debt was £55 million. This is a net increase of 17% over the prior period cost of £47 million, principally due to the increase in the group's net debt. The pension interest charge was £10 million (2012: £7 million), resulting in total net finance costs of £65 million (2012: £54 million). The average cost of gross borrowings during the half year, net of interest rate hedging, was 4.0% (2012: 4.4%). The effective tax rate for the half year on underlying earnings was 24% (2012: 22%). EPS Underlying earnings per share (see page 5 for more details and page 24 for a reconciliation to basic earnings per share) was 6.6p compared to 7.5p (7.6p at constant exchange rates) in the prior period.  To reflect usual practice in our sector, 2012 underlying EPS has been restated to include pensions interest under the revised employee benefits accounting standard IAS19(R). Cash flow Cash generated from continuing operations was £218 million. This included receipts of £76 million (2012: £12 million) relating to the Olympics contract which was offset by higher capital expenditure and payments of £60 million deferred from 2012 into 2013.  Net cash flow from operations was £170 million (2012: £170 million). Capital investment was significantly front end loaded this year and increased in the first half to £118 million (2012: £69 million). The main areas of investment have been in vehicles, buildings and plant and equipment, including investments in new contracts.  Investments also included £21 million on acquisitions in the first half of 2013 relating to a number of smaller cash solutions acquisitions in South Africa and Indonesia and the payment of deferred consideration on prior year acquisitions. The group's funding shortfall on funded defined retirement benefit schemes, on the valuation basis specified in IAS19(R) Employee Benefits, was £323 million after tax (31 December 2012: £335 million). The group has made additional pension contributions of £18 million (2012: £19 million).  Net cash flow before financing was £52 million (2012: £101 million). Interest paid was £88 million (2012: £70 million) and group shareholder dividend payments were £78 million (2012: £72 million).  Net cash outflow was £114 million (2012: £56 million). Net debt The net debt position as at 30 June 2013 was £1,950 million (31 December 2012: £1,802 million). The increase of £148 million reflects net cash outflow and foreign exchange movements. The group's net debt to EBITDA ratio is 3.2x (see page 26 for details of the calculation). Disposals The group has announced the agreed sale of its Canadian cash solutions business for proceeds of £67 million and its Colombian Data solutions business for around £35 million. These proceeds are expected in the second half of 2013. The sale of US Government Solutions and RSS is progressing to schedule, with multiple buyers in advanced due diligence and agreement subject to achieving a satisfactory price and terms. Equity raising The group has today announced its intention to raise funds via a placing of 9.99% of ordinary shares. Outlook Demand for the group's services and products remains robust as reflected in 7.2% revenue growth and the potential in the global sales pipeline of £4 billion. Our focus in 2013 is to invest in topline growth and operational capacity and to begin restructuring a number of our businesses. We expect 2013 to be a year of consolidation and the actions we are taking to deliver benefits from 2014 onwards. In the medium term we expect the group to start to deliver attractive revenue growth and we expect that operational actions across a wide range of areas will provide the opportunity to improve margins over time. Dividend The board has declared an interim dividend of 3.42p per share (DKK 0.2972), unchanged from the prior period. 28 August 2013 SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS Results The analysis of the group's business performance outlined in this announcement has been updated to reflect internal management reporting lines which are now based on geographic regions.

Margins in developed markets were impacted by an adverse sales mix in the USA and lower volumes in our Dutch Care & Justice business. Trading conditions in Europe remain challenging and we are restructuring some of our businesses to restore margins. Secure solutions margins in developing markets were broadly unchanged at 6.2% (2012: 6.3%). Cash Solutions The cash solutions business produced organic revenue growth of 4%. Margins were lower than prior year in the developed markets at 7.3% (2012: 9.0%), principally due to weaker financial performance in the UK and Ireland cash businesses which are being restructured to improve future performance.  Developing markets margins were higher at 11.4% (2012: 10.8%) due to strong performances in South Africa and the Middle East. G4Si, the international valuables business, achieved another strong performance, with good organic growth supported by an increase in commodity shipments such as pre-refined and refined metal, bank notes, credit cards, and pharmaceuticals. AFRICA In Africa organic growth was 6%. The previous year benefited from a contract to provide security for major projects in Nigeria which completed at the end of 2012. Margins were much stronger at 8.3%, due to improved performances across the region but especially in South Africa. New contracts won include the Port of Tangiers in Morocco and a manned security contract with the United Nations in Southern Sudan. The current bidding pipeline in Africa remains strong - particularly in financial services, mining and government, with increasing numbers of both multi-country and larger scale bids.  Following the loss of the principal contract in Djibouti we have taken the decision to exit this market. AMERICAS In the Americas, organic growth overall was 5%, impacted by a reduction in volume for the US Southern Border Patrol contract and a reduction in spend from financial institutions in the US as the need for additional protection from protest groups reduced. The regional margin was lower at 5.1% (2012: 5.6%) due to increased provisioning for general liability and workers compensation claims in the US, the absence of contract transition incentives which were received in 2012 and a weak performance from our Brazil technology business. Contract wins remained robust over the period with major contract awards from Amazon and a major US regional financial institution in the US and a number of contract wins in the financial services, government and extractives sectors In Latin America.   The Brazilian facilities management and manned security acquisitions Interativa and Vanguarda are performing well.   Today we have also announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to sell our secure archiving business in Colombia to Iron Mountain for £35 million. Closing is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected within the next month. The sale of our US Government Solutions and RSS businesses, as previously announced, is progressing to schedule. Today we have also announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to sell our cash solutions business in Canada to GardaWorld for a consideration of £67 million. Closing is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approval, and is expected before the end of the year. The cash solutions market has proved challenging in Canada for a number of years and we believe that the divestment represents the best value for our shareholders, and will enable us to focus our resources and expertise in faster growing cash solutions markets. In the United States we are seeing increasing interest in our Retail Cash Solutions product, Cash 360, with two small contracts awarded recently.  Overall, the North American business has a strong contract pipeline with more than £600 million in near term opportunities across all sectors and a visible long term pipeline of more than £1.5 billion. ASIA MIDDLE EAST Organic growth in Asia Middle East was very strong at 16% but margins were down slightly at 7.1% mainly due to the completion of some high margin temporary work in Indonesia and start-up costs in China where we were recently awarded one of the first licences to operate a manned security business. We had strong performances in the care and justice businesses in Australia and New Zealand, including an electronic monitoring contract in Victoria in Australia. We won demining and risk management contracts in Iraq for international oil companies, and manned security contracts in the UAE including the Abu Dhabi Education Council, Etisalat and a renewal and expansion of the customer service contract for Dubai airport. In July the Australian Government announced that there would be a significant expansion of our Manus Island immigration centre contract - we expect this expansion to begin next month and to be fully operational in November. EUROPE In Continental Europe organic growth was -2% and margins were lower due to the impact of the proposed closure of 23 prisons and other cost reductions by the Ministry of Justice in the Netherlands.  We were recently awarded the manned security contract for Charleroi airport in Belgium which will start in October 2013. Revenues for the security systems business, which accounts for around 20% of Continental European secure solutions revenues, remains in line with 2012. Contract wins include Stockholm municipal parking collections work in Sweden, and a manned security contract for Google in Finland offsetting the loss of a large Finnish retail customer. Most Eastern European markets continued to face challenging market conditions and saw organic growth decline. We have, however won a major systems contract with Lego in Hungary and an Agip Shell contract in Kazakhstan. UK & IRELAND There was organic growth of 5% in UK & Ireland in the first half of the year, with strong growth in care and justice services and police outsourcing.  Weaker performance in the UK & Ireland cash solutions businesses was the primary reason for lower margins. In UK cash solutions, restructuring and business improvement plans are being successfully implemented. We have also renewed a major Tesco Stores contract, have been selected as preferred bidder on a renewal with HSBC in the first half of 2013 and have expanded our outsourcing partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, taking over the management of their Edinburgh cash processing centre in June. We are also in discussions with a number of our bank customers in relation to additional new outsourcing opportunities. UK contracts won during the first half of 2013 include being selected by the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) to manage the Child Maintenance Options Contact Centre Service, provision of security at the G8 Summit in June and our first contract to provide secure patient transport services under a three-year deal with Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust. Other recent contract awards include Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Police Forensic Medical Services which began in June. The UK events security business successfully supported the UK Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) at the G8 Summit held at Lough Erne in Northern Ireland in June, delivering a range of specialised security solutions, including stewarding, monitoring of site perimeters, custody facilities and securing access to venues. We have also won a number of new contracts to provide security at high profile events across the UK.  We have been shortlisted on a number of opportunities for residential smart meter installation and expect to be informed whether we have been successful before the end of the year. We have renewed and extended a global contract with a major oil and gas company, covering 32 countries. The new contract is for five years with an option to extend for a further two, worth approximately $100 million per annum. It will create opportunities for organic growth and will see us work with the customer in new territories such as Brazil and Argentina. In July, the UK Ministry of Justice (MoJ) announced that it believes we have overbilled for Electronic Monitoring services. G4S has engaged the law firm Linklaters to review these billings. In the event that G4S becomes aware of any evidence of misconduct then appropriate action will be taken by the company including, where applicable, referral to the relevant authorities. We will also reimburse the MoJ any amounts found to  have been overpaid. In August, G4S advised the MoJ that it had withdrawn from the bidding process for the next generation of electronic monitoring contracts. Trading conditions in Ireland remain challenging in 2013 and in response a restructuring programme has been initiated in the cash solutions business. We expect the business to return to profitability in 2014 and improve further in 2015. OTHER FINANCIAL ISSUES Risks and uncertainties A discussion of the group's risk assessment and control processes and the principal risks and uncertainties that could affect the business activities or financial results is detailed on pages 46,47 and 67,68 of the company's annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2012, a copy of which is available on the group's website at www.g4s.com. The group's credit risk profile was assessed by Standard & Poor's and revised from BBB- to to BBB- (Negative) on 30 May 2013. Apart from this change, the business risks and uncertainties are expected to remain broadly the same during the remaining six months of the financial year. Credit facilities The group's credit rating was revised by Standard & Poor's to BBB- (Negative) on 30 May 2013. The group has no material debt maturities until March 2016 and has a diverse range of finance providers. Borrowings are principally in pounds sterling, US dollars and euros reflecting the geographies of significant operational assets and profits. The group's main sources of finance and their applicable rates are set out below: (i) A £1.1bn multicurrency revolving credit facility provided by a consortium of lending banks at a margin of 0.95% over Libor and maturing on 10 March 2016. As at 30 June 2013 the drawings were US$ 160m, Euro 70m and £170m.

Notes to the half-yearly results announcement 1)  Basis of preparation and accounting policies These condensed financial statements comprise the unaudited interim consolidated results of G4S plc ("the group") for the six months ended 30 June 2013. These half-yearly financial results do not comprise statutory accounts and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and Accounts 2012. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 are not the company's statutory accounts for that year. Those accounts have been reported on by the company's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditor was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not contain a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by emphasis of matter without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain any statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information in these condensed financial statements for the half years to 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 has been neither audited nor reviewed. The half-yearly results have been prepared in accordance with the going concern concept as the group believes it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The condensed financial statements of the group presented in this interim announcement have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union, and with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority. The accounting policies applied are the same as those set out in the group's Annual Report and Accounts 2012 except for the adoption of IAS19(R) Employee Benefits Revised, IFRS13 Fair Value Measurement and the amendments to IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements as set out below. During the period the group adopted the revised employee benefits accounting standard IAS19(R).  As a result the prior year PBITA has reduced by £1m for the 6 months to 30 June 2012 and by £3m for the year to 31 December 2012 due to pension administration costs being reallocated to PBITA from their previous classification in interest.  In addition pension interest has been restated for the change in calculation of the net pensions interest charge, resulting in an additional £3m interest cost for the 6 months to 30 June 2012 and an additional £6m interest costs for the year to 31 December 2012. The group also adopted IFRS13 Fair Value Measurement during the period however this has not resulted in any significant impact on the comparative results for the six months to 30 June 2012 or the year to 31 December 2012. As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the group has modified the presentation of items of comprehensive income in its condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, to present separately items that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that would never be reclassified. Comparative income has also been re-presented accordingly. The adoption of the amendment to IAS 1 has no impact on the recognised assets, liabilities and comprehensive income of the group. The group reflects its business performance in the 'underlying results' column of the consolidated income statement.  To be able to provide readers with this clear and consistent presentation, profits or losses on disposal of subsidiaries and fixed assets, acquisition items and discontinued operations and non- underlying items are reported separately in the consolidated income statement.  Non-underlying items include restructuring costs, impairments and other items and in the prior year included the Olympics contract. The comparative income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2012 has been re-presented for operations qualifying as discontinued during the six months ended 31 December 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2013. The comparative income statement for the year ended 31 December 2012 has been re-presented for operations qualifying as discontinued during the six months ended 30 June 2013.  For the six months ended 30 June 2012, revenue has been reduced by £454m and PBT has decreased by £9m compared to the figures published previously.  For the year ended 31 December 2012, revenue has been reduced by £391m and PBT has been decreased by £11m compared to the figures published previously. The comparative consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012 has been restated to reflect (i) the completion during the six months ended 30 June 2013 of the initial accounting in respect of acquisitions made during the six months ended 30 June 2012, and (ii) adjustments made in the six months to 30 June 2013 to the preliminary assessment of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired during the six months ended 31 December 2012.  Adjustments made to the provisional calculation of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired amount to £2m, resulting in an equivalent decrease in the reported value of goodwill. Notes to the half-yearly results announcement (continued) 2)  Operating segments The group operates on a worldwide basis and derives a substantial proportion of its revenue, PBITA and PBIT from each of the following five geographic regions: Africa, the Americas (including Latin America), Asia Middle East, Continental Europe and UK & Ireland. For each of the reportable segments, the group's CEO (the chief operating decision maker) reviews internal management reports on a regular basis. This presentation has been re-assessed during the period to more closely align with the way the group is now managed and to bring it in line with internal management reporting which is based on geographical regions.

During the period the group has undertaken a thorough review of its assets and liabilities applying balanced judgements to the recoverability of assets and the recognition of liabilities and taking account of known changes in facts and circumstances. This review has resulted in a one-off charge of £132m to PBITA and a £48m goodwill impairment as a result of these revised estimates, which have been excluded from the underlying results and are analysed as follows: +--------------------------------+---+ |Impairment and other items | £m| +--------------------------------+---+ |  |  | | | | |Current asset write-downs | 17| | | | |Creditors, claims and provisions| 40| | | | |Impairment of fixed assets | 23| | | | |Impairment of receivables | 52| +--------------------------------+---+ |Total included in PBITA |132| | | | |Impairment of goodwill | 48| +--------------------------------+---+ |Total impact on results |180| +--------------------------------+---+ 4)  Discontinued operations Operations qualifying as discontinued in 2012 included the electronic monitoring business in the United States, which was disposed of during the same period, and the US Government Solutions business.  In 2013, additional operations qualifying as discontinued include the US Regulated Security business and the cash business in Canada. 5)  Acquisitions Current Period Acquisitions During the period the group made several minor acquisitions for a total purchase consideration of £14m.  These acquisitions resulted in the recognition of £7m of intangible assets and £3m of goodwill.  The group has also incurred £2m of acquisition related costs during the six months to 30 June 2013.
