CEO comments

8% ORGANIC GROWTH AND FURTHER MARGIN IMPROVEMENT

The third quarter showed overall solid performance. It is encouraging to see that our aftermarket business is performing particularly well, and that the Marine business is showing strong development.

Reported sales were up 9% in the third quarter, whereof 8% was organic. EBIT before i.a.c. increased by 18% and the margin improved from 12.6% to 13.6%. Cash flow was solid and debt leverage is now at 1.8x, for the first time better than our mid- to long-term target of around 2x.

EMEA continued its robust performance with double-digit growth in both RV and CPV. Aftermarket sales also remained strong. In the quarter, several of the big European RV exhibitions took place, with a record number of visitors.

In Americas, we saw strong earnings improvement but with growth below the RV industry. Excluding the phased-out architectural business, the total sales increase was 6% in the quarter.

APAC exhibited sales growth of 11%, of which 6% was organic. The margin decreased in the quarter mainly due to currency and hedging impact. There are no fundamental changes to the underlying business.

In the quarter we have taken further steps in preparation for the new Dometic visual identity, set to launch by the end of November. This is an important part of our strategic focus 'One Dometic'. The change involves consolidation of our brands and enhancement of our digital platform in order to create a more accessible and modern Dometic.

We continue to pursue improvement initiatives throughout the company, which have produced results in the quarter. Our effort to optimize the distribution network in North America continues, in order to be well-prepared for the peak season in 2017.

The class action complaint process in the US, which was initiated in April, has not involved any major events in the quarter. We remain firm in our position that the allegations are without merit.

Items related to rebranding, legal fees and inventory write-downs have had a negative impact on the result in the third quarter in the amount of some SEK 28 million.

After the end of the quarter, we have signed an agreement to divest the seating and chassis component business of Atwood, including a production site in Elkhart, Indiana. The sale is yet another result of our active portfolio management.

I would also like to announce a leadership change in Americas, where we have appointed Scott Nelson as new President. Scott has previously been President of the Bobcat Company and joins Dometic from Sullair where he currently is President. Scott will start on December 1.

Finally, the global outlook for the RV markets remains positive, with Europe continuing to show particularly strong growth. We remain confident for the rest of 2016 and expect the positive dynamics in our main markets to continue into 2017.

CONDENSED NOTES ASSOCIATED WITH QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Dometic Group AB (publ) 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 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 accounting principles applied correspond to those described in the 2015 Annual report.

There are no changes to Dometic Group's accounting and valuation principles compared with the accounting and valuation principles described in Notes 2 and 4 of the 2015 Annual Report.

For a detailed description of the accounting and valuation policies applied by the Group, see Notes 1, 2 and 4 of the 2015 Annual Report. The Annual Report is available at www.dometicgroup.com, under Investors.

Note 2 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Dometic Group is a global company selling its products in almost 100 countries, and as such is exposed to a number of commercial and financial risks. Accordingly, risk management is an important process for Dometic Group in its efforts to achieve established targets.

Dometic Group is subject to transaction risks at the time of purchasing and selling, as well as when conducting financial transactions. Transaction exposure is primarily related to the currencies EUR, USD and AUD. As the majority of the Group's profit is generated outside Sweden, the Group is also exposed to translational risks in all the major currencies.

Efficient risk management is a continual process conducted within the framework of business control, and is part of the ongoing review of operations and forward-looking assessment of operations.

In the preparation of financial reports, the Board of Directors and Group management are required to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments impact the income statement and balance sheet, as well as the disclosures. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and judgments under different circumstances and conditions.

Dometic Group's future risk exposure is assumed not to deviate from the inherent exposure associated with Dometic Group's ongoing business operations. For a more indepth analysis of risks, please refer to Dometic Group's 2015 Annual Report.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Dometic Group 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. Valuation principles and principles for hedge accounting, as described in Note 3 of the 2015 Annual Report have been applied throughout the reporting period.

The fair values of Dometic Group's derivate assets and liabilities were SEK 7 million (Q3 2015: SEK 66 million) and SEK 35 million, (Q3 2015: SEK 33 million).

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.
