As previously communicated our financial performance was severely impacted by weakened market conditions in the quarter. Despite the current market conditions, we remain committed to our strategic agenda. We continue to invest in product development and sales capabilities in strategic structural growth areas. At the same time we have reduced our workforce by more than 3,000 FTEs (Full time equivalents) over the past three years to improve efficiency. We will now accelerate the implementation of strategic improvements to take the next step on our transformation journey and a restructuring program is being assessed. Improvement activities will include cost reductions as well as an intensified focus to divest or exit non-strategic parts of our existing product portfolio. This will support margin expansion and release resources to invest and drive profitable growth and value creation in our strategic structural growth areas. We will come back with more detailed information about the program before or in conjunction with the publication of the report for the fourth quarter 2024.
Organic net sales in the third quarter declined by 14 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The EBITA1) margin fell to 8.6 percent (14.3), while operating cash flow was robust at SEK 1.3 b (2.1) compared to a strong third quarter 2023. The net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio was in line with expectations at 3.0x (2.9x). 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.
In the Service & Aftermarket sales channel organic net sales declined by 11 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Retail inventories are lower than last year; however customers are cautious about building inventories ahead of the low season. Usage of boats and Recreational Vehicles (RVs) remains high, but in the current macroeconomic situation we are seeing more consumers focusing on essential repairs and deferring upgrades to a greater extent. Service & Aftermarket net sales in the Land Vehicles EMEA segment remained stable while there was a decline in the othersegments.
Organic net sales in the Distribution sales channel fell by 10 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Net sales in the Mobile Cooling Solutions segment slowed down during the quarter, negatively impacted by a lower sell through to consumers combined with retailers' focus on managing inventories. We continue to keep our strong market leading position, and with several new products ramping up, and more products in the pipeline, we will be in a strong position when the high season starts in 2025. During the quarter we launched two new series of Dometic branded Mobile Cooling boxes.
Demand in the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) sales channel remained weak driven by the existing destocking situation globally. Organic net sales declined by 20 percent compared to the same quarter last year. As expected, we experienced an accelerated negative development in the quarter in the Land Vehicles EMEA and Land Vehicles APAC segments.
The EBITA margin fell to 8.6 percent (14.3) as a consequence of lower net sales. In addition there was a significant negative impact on margin due to the decline in our Service & Aftermarket business. As a consequence of the macroeconomic situation and weakened market conditions, a non-cash goodwill impairment of SEK 2.0 b was performed in the quarter related to the Land Vehicles Americas segment. The impairment had no impact on EBITA, cash flow or on the net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio.
Long-term trends in Mobile Living are strong as a growing number of consumers are enjoying the outdoors globally. However we expect the current challenging market conditions to remain throughout the year over a seasonally weak fourth quarter. In a market where the visibility is shorter than normal, we will stay proactive and continue to relentlessly drive our strategic agenda to deliver on our targets.

Dometic Group AB (publ) reg. no. 556829-4390
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Dometic Group AB (publ) as of 30 September 2024 and the ninemonth 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.
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.

Dometic Group AB (publ) and its subsidiaries (together "the Dometic Group", "Dometic" or "the Group") applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union. 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 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report and should be read in conjunction with that Annual and Sustainability Report, available at www.dometicgroup.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– 21 and pages 1–13 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 2024 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 2024, of the 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report available at www.dometicgroup.com.
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. Dometic's risks and risk management are described on pages 60- 64 and on pages 89-92 in the 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report, available at www.dometicgroup.com.
As communicated before, ACON, the seller of Igloo, has filed a lawsuit against Dometic in the fourth quarter 2022, making certain claims related to the Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA"). Dometic is confident that the lawsuit lacks any merit, is vehemently contesting this lawsuit and has filed counterclaims against ACON related to its conduct under, and non-compliance with, the SPA. The parties are currently involved in the discovery process and trial is expected to take place in the first quarter, 2025.
As communicated September 17, 2024, the current macroeconomic situation and market conditions, including high interest rates, lower consumer spend and customer purchasing patterns, are having a negative impact on Group net sales. Long-term trends in the Mobile Living industry are strong. However the current macroeconomic situation, market conditions and customer purchasing patterns have a negative impact on the business in all sales channels, which is expected to remain throughout the year. Demand visibility has turned shorter than normal and the situation worsened during the third quarter as customers are cautious building inventories as the low season approaches.
Dometic will accelerate the implementation of strategic improvements to take the next step on itstransformation journey and a restructuring program is being assessed. Improvement activities will include structural cost reductions as well as an intensified focus to divest or exit nonstrategic parts of the existing product portfolio. This will support margin expansion and release resources to invest and drive profitable growth and value creation in strategic structural growth areas. Dometic will come back with more detailed information about the program before or in conjunction with the publication of the report for the fourth quarter 2024.
Dometic uses currency forward contracts to hedge part of its cash exposure as well as its exposure to forecasted purchases and sales in foreign currency.
The fair values of Dometic's derivative assets and liabilities were SEK 4 m (57) and SEK 14 m (116). 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.
