2024 was a difficult year impacted by restrained consumer spending and customers continuing to be cautious with their inventory levels. Due to these challenging market conditions, full year organic net sales declined 12 percent. In this environment we have continuously been adapting our capacity, and we are today 15 percent fewer FTEs (Full Time Equivalents) than a year ago. Investments in product development and sales capabilities in strategic growth areas have been prioritized, and the product innovation index improved to 21 percent (17) supported by a large number of product launches. As a result, we delivered a robust full year EBITA1) margin of 10.8 percent (12,5) despite the lower volumes.
Considering the lower market demand in recent years and increased competition in certain product categories, specifically for the Land Vehicle Americas segment, we decided to execute a strategic review of our product portfolio and on December 12, 2024, we announced a Global restructuring program. The program includes both portfolio changes and structural cost reductions and will have an annual positive impact on EBITA estimated to SEK 750 m when fully implemented at the end of 2026. After program completion, and assuming current market conditions, we are targeting an EBITA margin of 14 percent for the full year 2027. If the market conditions improve, we feel confident on delivering a margin above this level supported by sales growth and sales mix. As a natural step on our journey, in order to simplify the organizational structure and to secure synergy realization across the different geographies, we are planning to change our Land Vehicles organizational structure. Our three Land Vehicles segments will be consolidated into one Global Land Vehicles segment. A recruitment process for a Global Land Vehicles segment head has been initiated and I will be acting as interim Segment head until we have a new leader in place. For transparency reasons we will continue to disclose net sales and EBITA for Land Vehicles Americas, EMEA and APAC until the Global restructuring program is finalized.
Organic net sales in the fourth quarter declined by 13 percent compared to the same quarter last year. In the Service & Aftermarket sales channel organic net sales were down 9 percent as consumers focused on repairing equipment instead of upgrading or replacing. In addition, customers remained cautious of building inventories in a seasonally slower quarter. Organic net sales in the Distribution sales channel declined by 6 percent, an improvement compared to a double-digit decline in the third quarter supported by the ramp up of our new Mobile Cooling Solutions products. Net sales in the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) sales channel were down 18 percent with declines in all segments. Compared to the third quarter, we saw less of a decline in OEM net sales across the Land Vehicles Americas and Marine segments. This was partly offset by the Land Vehicles EMEA and Land Vehicles APAC segments where RV (Recreational Vehicles) industry production slowed in the quarter.
The EBITA margin for the fourth quarter was 7.3 percent (8.7), negatively impacted by lower net sales. We continue to invest in product development and sales capabilities in strategic growth areas, and operating expenses in percent of net sales increased as a consequence while the gross profit in percent of net sales was more stable. Total restructuring charges for the Global restructuring program are estimated to SEK 1.2 billion and were reported in full in the quarter as items affecting comparability.
Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter was strong at SEK 0.8 b (0.5). The full year operating cash flow of SEK 4.2 b (5.2) was our second strongest ever supported by continued working capital reductions. The net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio was 3.1x compared to 3.0x at the end of the third quarter 2024, negatively impacted by a weakened Swedish Krona. The cash flow focus remains high across the organization, and we are committed to achieving our net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio target of around 2.5x.
Despite the challenging market conditions, and thanks to the efforts and dedication of our employees around the globe, we have continued to take several important steps on our strategic transformation journey in 2024. As we enter 2025 it is difficult to predict how the current uncertain macroeconomic situation and market conditions will impact demand, particularly in the short term. Retailer inventory levels are below last year in all sales channels, and we expect the demand to gradually recover in the Service & Aftermarket and Distribution sales channels during the first half of the year. In the OEM sales channel, the market conditions varies between different verticals and geographies, but we expect demand to remain under pressure during the first half of the year with improvements during the second half.
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 1.30 (1.90) per share for 2024, corresponding to 40 percent of Adjusted2) earnings per share. The proposed dividend reflects a balanced view of Dometic's financial position, business outlook and the current market conditions.
Long-term trends in Mobile Living are strong as a growing number of consumers are enjoying the outdoors globally. We will continue to be proactive and act on short-term market developments while continuing to relentlessly drive our strategic agenda to deliver on our targets.
Juan Vargues, President and CEO
