Verisure is the leading provider of professionally-monitored smart alarms for residential households and small businesses in Europe, and we are growing in Latin America. We trade as Verisure in most of the countries where we operate, and as Securitas Direct in Spain and Portugal. We protect more than five million customers in 17 countries. Our business model integrates product development, design and sales with installation, outstanding service and a 24/7 professional monitoring solution. We protect people from intrusion, fire and flood - and we save lives.
Verisure's core offering is a monitored security system that incorporates sensors (i.e. motion, fire, humidity) and a central control panel that are all remotely monitored by Verisure on a 24/7 basis. Verisure first responders investigate incidents, contact customers and dispatch guard, police, fire brigade and ambulance response whenever appropriate. In addition, the company has moved to offering lifestyle-oriented 'connected' functionality and services ('smart home'), expanding its value proposition and addressable market. These services are enabled by new product & service innovations around video functionality, light control, temperature control, elderly care, etc.
The business has enjoyed consistent double-digit top and bottom line growth over the past 20 years as a result of its highly entrepreneurial and innovative approach to business. For example, Verisure was the first company in the industry to introduce voice-based SMS/GSM transmission, the first to use "two way voice" (enabling a direct conversation with the consumer via the control panel), the first to add image verification (to assist in assessing risk and in dramatically reducing false alarms) and the first to enable home control via a mobile application. This kind of innovation has led to Verisure enjoying industry leading customer retention.
Verisure takes responsibility for the whole value chain - from product development, design and sales to installation, service and 24/7 professional monitoring, verification and response - to ensure it can bring peace of mind to its customers. This product development model enables us to innovate where others cannot.
Verisure has been investing in its growth every year and has been growing non-stop, in every one of its geographies. This is partially the result of very low penetration rates of monitored alarm services in Europe and Latin America, providing significant opportunity for continued growth. Verisure also continues to expand internationally and has opened offices in Peru, Italy, the UK, Germany and Argentina in just the last few years. Our successful growth has been and will continue being dependent on Verisure Talents. Our People are our business.
Verisure is majority-owned by leading private equity firm Hellman & Friedman and management. Our sponsors have invested heavily in accelerating the company's innovation and talent pipeline.
Following years of growth in this industry supported by strong dynamics, the company has now embarked on a transformation under a new high calibre leadership team in order to position itself for the next phase of growth and as the leader in the market.
Everything we do is driven by our DNA. Our DNA has enabled us to grow at a double-digit pace for many years and is setting us up to continue our winning stride.
Protecting what matters most for our customers takes innovative technology and, above all, passionate people. People who are driven by
