⁽²⁾Net cash flow from operations after investments in fixed assets and excluding income tax paid.
During the first quarter of 2020, the world faced an extreme and unparalleled situation with the spread of the corona pandemic (Covid-19). We have yet to discover the full impact on society and our businesses, but what we do know is that now is the time to act responsibly, decisively and collaboratively.
We acted quickly as soon as we became aware of the Covid-19 outbreak in China at the beginning of the year. We have taken robust action to adjust our operations in factories and offices around the world to adapt to the current situation. We are reducing our cost base, adjusting the entire business and have implemented layoffs, furloughs and temporary work reductions across the organization.
The first quarter was negatively affected by the rapid changes in the trading environment. We were able to effectively manage supply chain disruptions in China, but the close-down of entire markets in Europe and in the US in March had a negative impact on demand. Total growth for the quarter was -10 percent and estimated net sales impact due to Covid-19 was around SEK -400 million. The operating margin before items affecting comparability was 10.0 percent, despite an impact due to Covid-19 of around SEK -120 million and a tariff impact of SEK -77 million.
During the first quarter, we continued to deliver on our strategy. The innovation index continues to improve and reached 18 percent, compared with 14 percent the same quarter last year. We introduced a new generation of mobile coolers, the CFX3 and we also presented our first range of residential products with the Dometic Mobar patio cooler for beverages. We are continuing to implement activities under our global restructuring program. In January, we initiated closure of a site in the US affecting around 200 employees, whilst at the same time successfully ramping up production in Mexico. So far, 14 locations and around 500 employees have been affected. Implementing this program remains a priority and we intend to accelerate the execution going forward.
Operating cash flow was strong. Dometic entered 2020 with a strong cash position and a favorable debt maturity structure. By the end of the first quarter, we had a cash position of SEK 4.5 billion and an unutilized revolving credit facility of EUR 200 million.
Due to the current uncertainties, we proactively negotiated an amended financing agreement with our bank group. According to our current assessment, this amended financing agreement creates the necessary flexibility and covenant headroom for the coming four quarters. We have full focus on ensuring continued positive cash flow and maintaining a solid financial position.
At the moment it is difficult to predict how the situation will develop over the coming months. Considering the close-down of main markets in April to reduce the spread of Covid-19, and the difficulties to assess when the markets will open up and how demand will be affected, we expect that sales and profitability will be significantly affected in the second quarter of 2020.
We are confident about the long-term positive trends in the Mobile Living industry, and that the current pandemic experience will lead to a growing interest around the world in outdoor activities closer to home. We remain fully committed to our strategic direction and our ambition to build a stronger and more diversified Dometic.

Operating cash flow, SEK m
Net sales were SEK 4,199 m (4,650), a decrease of -10% compared with the same quarter last year. This comprised -14% organic growth, +4% currency translation and 0% M&A. The impact due to Covid-19 was around SEK -400 m.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was SEK 597 m (818). The EBITDA margin was 14.2% (17.6%).
Operating profit (EBIT) before items affecting comparability was SEK 421 m (618). The EBIT margin before items affecting comparability was 10.0% (13.3%). The impact due to Covid-19 was around SEK -120 m and the impact from tariffs was SEK -77 m.
Items affecting comparability totaled SEK -32 m (-), of which SEK -23 m related to restructuring costs for the quarter from the global restructuring program.
Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 389 m (618). The EBIT margin was 9.3% (13.3%).
Financial items totaled a net amount of SEK -98 m (-127), including SEK -110 m (-110) in interest on external bank loans. Other FX revaluations and other items amounted to SEK 7 m (-22) and financial income amounted to SEK 5 m (5).
Taxes totaled SEK -86 m (-147), corresponding to 30% (30%) of profit before tax. Current tax amounted to SEK -74 m (-110) and deferred tax to SEK -12 m (-37). Paid tax of 54% (28%) is higher compared with the same quarter last year and mainly related to the Group's tax paying position in Canada, but also an internal move of immaterial assets. The latter will result in lower future tax payments and is thus a timing effect.

Earnings per share for the quarter were SEK 0.69 (1.16).
Operating cash flow for the quarter was SEK 181 m (84).
Cash flow for the quarter was SEK -112 m (1,233). The first quarter last year was impacted by taking up new debt.

The proposal of no dividend payout and that retained earnings shall be carried forward was approved. The Board's remuneration for 2020 remains unchanged compared with 2019.
Peter Kruk, President region EMEA, decided to leave Dometic for another external assignment.
Due to the corona pandemic, the full implementation of the organizational change communicated in February 2020 will be postponed until the first quarter 2021.

Dometic Group AB (publ) and its subsidiaries (together "the Dometic Group", "Dometic" or "the Group") applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. This consolidated Interim Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The accounting and valuation principles in this interim report correspond to principles applied by the Group in the 2019 Annual Report and should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report, available at www.dometic.com.
The Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, have been applied for the Parent Company. The interim report comprises pages 1–16 and pages 1–9 are thus an integral part of this financial report (IAS 34.16A).
Totals quoted in tables and statements may not always be the exact sum of the individual items because of rounding differences. The aim is for each line item to correspond to its source, and rounding differences may therefore arise.
A detailed description of the accounting and valuation principles for new or amended accounting policies for 2020 applied by the Group in this interim report can be found in Note 2.1.1 Changes in accounting policies, New or amended accounting policies for 2020, of the 2019 Annual Report.
Risks are part of any business and as a global Group with production and distribution all over the world Dometic faces risks that can impact its ability to achieve established strategic and other objectives, including financial targets.
Effective risk management of strategic, execution, compliance & regulatory and reporting risks creates opportunities and effective risk mitigation.
The key to effective risk management is identifying known risks and preparing for any unknown risks to which the Group is exposed. While mitigating risks usually comes at a cost, effective risk management adds value by establishing clear risk and process ownership combined with risk identification, assessment, prioritization and risk response i.e. risk mitigating actions as well as effective monitoring.
In line with Dometic's established model for three lines of responsibility, Risk Management as part of the second line of responsibility constitutes an important role by providing and supporting management and the business operations with a risk framework including a risk management process and a risk universe for identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks, and for providing risk response i.e. risk mitigating actions as well as effective monitoring.
During the year, the risk framework was updated to increase the focus on strategic risks and to improve alignment with the Group strategic objectives and strategy toolbox for execution. Each defined tool in the strategy toolbox represents both risks and opportunities that, correctly managed, help the Group deliver on its strategy. Risks in the risk framework and especially the strategic risks are connected to the objectives defined for each of the three pillars in the Group strategy being; Profitable Expansion in Mobile Living, Product Leadership through Innovation and Continuous Cost Reductions.
The Risk Committee, which from 2019 comprises the members of Group management, holds meetings in connection with Group management meetings, during which significant time is dedicated to risk identification, risk assessment and discussion around risk response i.e. risk mitigating actions. Strategic risks are since 2019 primarily assessed via a top down approach by Group management, while execution, compliance & regulatory and
reporting risks are primarily assessed via a top down approach by Group management as well as via a bottom up approach by regional risk and process owners.
The Risk Committee discusses and makes decisions on risk mitigating actions and the members of Group management act as global risk and process owners as applicable. The work of the Risk Committee is regularly reported to the Audit Committee and annually to the Board of Directors.
With strategic, execution, compliance & regulatory and reporting risks identified and assessed annually in the fourth quarter , the results thereof in terms of an annual risk assessment with risk registers and risk maps help raise risk awareness and support management and the business operations at different levels of the organization in prioritization of risk mitigating actions. The annual risk assessment with risk registers and risk maps also serve as a foundation for the Group's control functions, such as Internal Control and Internal Audit, for their prioritization of focus areas.
The risk framework includes a risk universe of risks that can impact Dometic's ability to achieve established strategic and other objectives including financial targets. The risks to which Dometic is exposed to are classified into four main categories: strategic, execution, compliance & regulatory and reporting risks. Each main category has subcategories with defined underlying risks. Sustainability risks are integrated in the main categories and subcategories. Risks are mapped to strategic and other objectives including financial targets. Risk ownership is identified for each risk in the risk universe.
Strategic risks can impact Dometic's ability to achieve strategic objectives including financial targets. Strategic risks are including external risk factors that could be political such as tariffs, climate change, weather related, disease outbreaks and risks related to competition and external crime. Execution risks are operational, commercial and financial risks associated with business operations. Compliance & Regulatory risks are both internal compliance to governing documents as well as external compliance to laws, rules and regulations. Reporting risks are risks associated with Dometic's reporting, information and communication, both financial and non-financial.
In late 2019, a coronavirus was found in China that can spread to humans and cause the disease Covid-19. As a consequence, Dometic established a crisis management team to coordinate all activities related to the Covid-19 breakout. Dometic has taken proactive actions firstly to protect its employees, other stakeholders and financial position, and secondly to adjust operations in factories and offices. Dometic is actively working to reduce its cost base, adjust the entire business and have already implemented layoffs, furloughs and temporary work reductions across the organization.
The outbreak has had an impact on Dometic's operations in the first quarter 2020. At the moment it is difficult to predict how the situation will develop over the coming months. Considering the close-down of main markets in April to reduce the spread of Covid-19, and the difficulties to assess when the markets will open up and how demand will be affected, Dometic expects that sales and profitability will be significantly affected in the second quarter of 2020.
Dometic's risk and risk management are described on pages 69- 71 and on pages 96-99 in the 2019 Annual Report, available at www.dometic.com.
Dometic uses interest rate swaps to hedge senior facility term loans to move from a floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate. The Group also uses currency forward agreements to hedge part of its cash flow exposure.
The fair values of Dometic's derivative assets and liabilities were SEK 98 m (Q1 2019: SEK 83 m) and SEK 111 m (Q1 2019: SEK 27 m). The value of derivatives is based on published prices in an active market. No transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy have occurred during the period.
For financial assets and liabilities other than derivatives, fair value is assumed to be equal to the carrying amount.

1) Q1 2019 Net sales by Application Area for Americas include restated numbers for Climate Control (SEK - 26.6 m) Power & Control (SEK +166.2 m) and Other applications (SEK -139.6 m). Full year 2019 Net sales by application area for Americas include restated numbers for Climate Control (SEK - 128 m) Power & Control (SEK +903.7 m) and Other applications (SEK -775.7 m). Reason for re-statement is to provide comparability between the years, as there has been a reclassification of certain product groups in Americas 2020.
Segment performance for each region is primarily assessed based on net sales and operating profit. Information for each region is based on where customers are located. Management follow-up is based on the integrated result in each segment. For further information, please refer to Note 5 of the 2019 Annual Report. As part of the strategic repositioning of Dometic presented on May 28, 2019, Dometic identified four application areas. As of Q1 2020, regions will remain as segments and net sales will be reported by region, by application area and by sales channels.
Inter-segment sales were as follows.
