CEO's Comments

IMPROVED MARGINS IN AMERICAS AND EMEA

In the first quarter we delivered organic sales growth of 5% and an improved underlying EBIT margin, from 12.0% to 13.3% (excluding Medical).

EMEA continues to lead the way with an overall strong performance in sales and margins. In Europe, we are experiencing full order books with our main customers and are also continuing to see good results from the cost program launched in 2015. RV, Marine and CPV all exhibited growth in both OEM and aftermarket.

Americas displayed decent growth mainly related to the RV business. The impact of synergies resulting from the integration of Atwood also contributed to the strengthened margins from 10.3% to 13.0%. Sales development was stable in Marine and down in CPVOEM, mainly as a result of a weakened truck market.

In APAC, we had a relatively strong development in sales and gross margins, while EBIT margins were negatively affected by increased SG&A, which is being addressed. The aftermarket business continues to be a key sales driver, with strong development primarily in Australia.

Our focus on cost efficiency remains an important profitability driver, and the margin improvement that we saw in seven of our eight businesses is a result of this. Going forward, we will continue to work with our strategic priorities for long-term growth and make improvements within both operations and brand management. A part of this is also to assess our portfolio. We are looking at acquisitions, divestments and other structural activities.

Globally the RV markets continue to show strong momentum, especially in Americas and Europe. We can conclude that the outlook for the RV market remains positive while the truck market, in particular the US, is under pressure.

In light of our current performance and conditions in our markets, we remain confident for the rest of 2016.

QUARTERLY NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT (EBIT)

Americas, which accounted for 48% of sales in Q1 2016, reported net sales of SEK 1,440 million. This represents a sales increase of 7%, of which 3% was organic and 4% related to currency translation.

Operating profit (EBIT) before i.a.c. of SEK 187 million was 35% higher than last year. EBIT margin improved from 10.3% to 13.0%.

Americas markets

In the US, the volume of RV shipments from OEM manufacturers to dealers is continuing to grow. The past three months displayed 9% growth in volumes, and a year-to-date February volume of 67,445 units represents 11% growth compared to the same period last year.

The pleasure boat market is exhibiting mixed growth, with 40-60 ft cruisers up by 19%, while 31-40 ft cruisers are down and semi-custom yachts up to 100 ft are flat for the first two months of 2016 compared to last year.

Business highlights

In Americas, Q1 sales to OEMs increased by 1% and aftermarket sales grew by 5%, in constant currency.

Sales in the RVOEM business increased due to market growth, but were to some extent offset by price pressure on certain product categories.

In the Marine OEM business, reported sales saw a decline in the quarter. However, excluding sales from Americas to customers in Asia Pacific that were transferred to the APAC region in the second half of 2015, the underlying development is flat year-over-year.

CPVOEM business sales declined in the quarter, mainly due to the slowdown in the Class 8 truck market.

Aftermarket sales increased mainly due to strong sales in the RV aftermarket, based on underlying market growth combined with new products.

Business highlights

First quarter sales in EMEA in the OEM channels increased by 12% and aftermarket sales report 4% growth, in constant currency.

The Marine OEM business reported an increase resulting from growth in the three main territories (UK, France and Italy).

Sales in the CPVOEM business increased, mainly as a consequence of high volumes of products to some of the largest truck manufacturers in Europe.

Aftermarket reported an overall increase in sales, with the greatest growth in CPV and Marine aftermarket. The main contributors to the growth were AC service stations and the CRX refrigerators.

QUARTERLY NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT (EBIT)

APAC, which accounted for 11% of sales in Q1 2016, reported net sales of SEK 337 million. This corresponds to a sales increase of 5%, of which 7% was organic and -2% related to currency translation.

Operating profit (EBIT) before i.a.c of SEK 70 million represented a decrease of 3% on last year. EBIT margin at 20.7% vs. 22.5% in Q1 2015.

APAC markets

Statistics on Australian domestic RV production showed a decrease of 3% over the past three months, compared with the same period the previous year. Low volumes in January had a significant negative impact.

Business highlights

Sales in the OEM channels for Q1 in APAC increased by 4%, while the aftermarket grew by 10%, in constant currency.

In the RVOEM business, sales decreased in the first quarter, mainly due to lower manufacturing volumes at OEMs in Australia.

The Marine OEM business reported a sales increase compared to last year. However, the majority of the increase is due to the transfer of sales from the Americas region to APAC customers, which happened in the second half of 2015. Sales to these customers are now recorded as APAC sales and no longer included in Americas.

The slowdown in demand for premium cars in China continues to have a negative impact on the CPVOEM business, which reported a drop in sales in the quarter.

The aftermarket business reported strong growth in the first quarter 2016, mainly due to continued high demand for products in the retail channel in Australia, such as the recently launched cooling boxes.

PARENT COMPANY DOMETIC GROUP AB

REPORT OF REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Dometic Group AB (publ.) as of March 31, 2016 and the three-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

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.

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 15 million (Q1 2015: SEK 87 million) and SEK 48 million, (Q1 2015: SEK 32 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.
