FOCUS ON PROFITABILITY AND CASH FLOW IMPROVEMENTS

Operating profit (EBIT) before i.a.c

I am pleased to conclude a second quarter in which we performed well in capturing underlying market growth and improved EBIT margin in all regions. Total sales grew by 33 percent of which 9 percent was organic, with growth in RV still on high levels and good development for CPV and Aftermarket. The EBIT-margin improved by 1.0 percentage points, despite headwinds from raw material prices.

Americas reported organic growth of 11 percent. The EBIT margin improved by 1.2 percentage points. The underlying margin was negatively impacted by commodity prices and business mix due to high growth in RV OEM of 15 percent. Our efforts to establish dedicated, local organizations for Mobile Cooling and CPV are generating traction through increased market presence and focus. During the quarter, we saw some increased cost releated to further acceleration of these initiatives. SeaStar performed well in the quarter, especially in the Aftermarket.

EMEA reported organic growth of 6 percent and an EBIT margin improvement of 1.1 percentage points. The region reported good OEM performance for RV, CPV and Marine. Despite a cold spring, we also saw a good recovery in the Aftermarket sales especially in the RV AM and CPV AM with 7-8 percent respectively. The activities from our profitability program are yielding results, as a consequence of improved efficiencies and better pricing discipline.

APAC reported organic growth of 7 percent. The EBIT margin improved by 0.3 percentage points, to 23.6%. Aftermarket grew by 9 percent, mainly driven by RV, Retail and CPV.

Operating cash flow increased by 65 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Leverage was at 3.4x at the end of the quarter, and was negatively affected by exchange rate movements. In constant currency, leverage was 3.2x. We expect to see a quick deleveraging in the second half of the year.

Dometic has seen a solid first half of 2018, with organic growth of 9 percent and the EBIT margin has improved by 1.6 percentage points to 16 percent. Total sales were close to SEK 10 billion and EBIT was over SEK 1.5 billion, making us a more robust company. Pricing initiatives have been successfully implemented, the EMEA region has done well in executing the profitability program activities and SeaStar has delivered according to expectations.

A new Head of Group Operations was appointed in May, a key position to improve process ownership and increase efficiency throughout our global operations. I am also pleased to see that the R&D organization is starting to formalize clear strategic measures and long-term plans to build a truly global innovation platform.

The outlook for our combined businesses remains unchanged with an estimated organic growth in line with our target of 5 percent. With the acquisition of SeaStar, combined with continued efficiency improvements, we are aiming at reaching our target of 15 percent EBIT margin during 2018. Leverage is expected to be around 2.5x by the end of 2018.

Juan Vargues, President and CEO

CONDENSED NOTES

NOTE 1 | ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Dometic Group AB (publ) ("Dometic") 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 interim report comprises pages 1-19 and pages 1-7 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.

New and amended accounting policies for 2018 adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This supersedes all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. The Group has chosen to use the full retrospective transition method. The standard came into effect as of January 1, 2018. The Group concluded that comparative figures for the 2017 financial year do not need to be restated since the impact is immaterial, which is why there is no effect in the first half year 2018. Consequently, no transition provision was required to be disclosed at the end of December 2017. The accounting policies for the Group's main type of revenue are described below.

The standard IFRS 9 Financial instruments is also adopted and came into effect as of January 1, 2018.

Changes in accounting policies, applicable as of January 1, 2018

As described above, the accounting principles applied correspond to those described in the 2017 Annual Report, with the exception of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, for which there are changes to Dometic's accounting and valuation principles compared with the principles described in Notes 2 and 4 of the 2017 Annual Report.

The detailed description of the accounting and valuation principles applied by the Group in this interim report are to be read in addition to descriptions found in Notes 1, 2 and 4 of the 2017 Annual Report, available at www.dometic.com.

Preparations for the new accounting standards

The following information should be considered in addition to the description of the new accounting standards and related activities provided in the 2017 Annual Report, Note 2.

IFRS 16 Leases

Dometic is currently assessing the impact of the new standard. Ongoing activities include further analysis of lease terms in agreements. Indications so far in the investigation phase, during which contracts have been compiled and analyzed at a high level, are that some impact is expected on financial reporting as of 2019. Note 8 in the Annual Report discloses the future cash flows for current operating leases. These cash flows, discounted to present value, may provide an indication of the increase in assets and liabilities that the Group will see in the balance sheet.

The Group is not able to quantify the impact on its consolidated financial statements at this stage of the project.

For the IFRS 16 transition, Dometic has decided to use the modified retrospective approach.

The standard is effective as of January 1, 2019. Dometic will not adopt earlier application.

Accounting principles to be read in addition to the descriptions in Notes 1, 2 and 4 of the 2017 Annual Report

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue recognition in Dometic Group is based on IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard specifies the requirements for recognizing revenue from all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of the Standards on leasing, insurance contracts and financial instruments.

Dometic is in the business of manufacturing and selling a diverse range of products within Climate, Hygiene & Sanitation, Food & Beverage, Power & Control and Safety & Security. These products are primarily for use in Recreational Vehicles, pleasure boats, work boats, trucks and premium cars.

Products in the area of Mobile living are sold via the two sales channels Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Aftermarket (AM).

The new revenue model is made up of a series of steps required to help entities determine when and how much revenue to recognize.

In the first step of the revenue model, the Group identifies the contract with a customer. This is then followed by the second step, in which the various goods and services that need to be accounted for separately, or distinct performance obligations, are identified. In the third step, the Group determines the transaction price, which is the total amount to which the Group expects to be entitled, and then in the fourth step the transaction price is allocated to the distinct performance obligations. Finally, the amount of revenue allocated to each distinct performance obligation is recognized either at a point in time or over a period of time, depending on when the customer acquires control over the promised goods or services in that performance obligation.

Customer contract

Purchase orders from the customer, which is the most common way of ordering goods, qualify as an IFRS 15 contract, including all enforceable rights and obligations required.

Distinct performance obligations

The promises are all distinct, since the customer can benefit from the goods on their own and the service (if included in a contract) together with the readily available goods. Each promise (performance obligation) is accounted for separately.

In the rare cases where the Group offers installation services, revenue for that performance obligation is recognized over the

contract period during which the service is provided. At present, the service part of the Group's revenue is immaterial, which is why revenue over time is not separately presented in the disclosures.

Transaction price

Sales are recorded based on the price specified in the customer agreements, net of the estimated discounts and returns at the time of sale. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns. If the consideration includes a variable amount, the transaction price includes an estimate of what the entity will be entitled to receive. Estimated discounts are accounted for at the time of the sale and simultaneously reduce external revenue. The amount is estimated by using either the expected value or the most likely amount.

The revenue estimate is included in the transaction price only if it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the Group has fulfilled its performance obligation, which means the Group has transferred the promised good or service to the customer. The goods or service are regarded as transferred when the customer has obtained control of the good or service. Revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognized in a pattern that reflects the transfer of control of the promised goods or service to the customer, and this takes place when the customer has obtained the ability to direct the use of the goods and obtained substantially all remaining benefits from the asset.

Control either transfers to the customer over time or at a point in time, and this is determined at contract inception. The assessment of whether control transfers over time or at a point in time is critical to the timing of revenue recognition, since revenue is recorded when or as control transfers.

The Group has a limited number of arrangements where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, including some services but also a small volume of customized goods constructed for customers. To achieve valid revenue timing, progress toward satisfaction of a performance obligation must be measured.

Indicators for the transfer of control at a point in time for goods are if the Group has a right to payment for the goods or if the customer has legal title to the goods. Other indicators which the Group considers are if the Group has transferred physical possession of the goods and if the customer has the significant risks and rewards related to the ownership of the goods.

Additionally, the Group considers whether the customer has accepted the goods in accordance with the customer acceptance clause.

International commercial terms are important as a checkpoint, to determine when control transfers to a customer. The Group must use judgement to determine whether all relevant IFRS control factors collectively indicate that the customer has obtained control before recognizing revenue.

Financing component

If the timing of the payment of the consideration is in advance or deferred and the timing provides a significant financing benefit, the payments are adjusted for the time value of money. However, since sales are normally made with a credit term of 30- 60 days, which is consistent with market practice, no element of financing is considered to exist.

Right to return

Revenue is not recognized for products expected to be returned in cases where the customer has a contractual right of return. A liability for the refund (refund accrual) and an asset plus a corresponding adjustment to cost of goods sold for the right to recover products from customers on settling the refund accrual is recorded.

Warranty

Dometic offers a standard warranty, normally of between two and three years. In some cases, an extended warranty may be offered to the customer. The standard warranty is recorded as a provision and a warranty cost in the income statement, whereas the extended warranty is a separate performance obligation. The portion of the transaction price in the contract that is allocated to the extended warranty is accounted for as revenue over the term of the warranty period.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 Financial instruments addresses the classification, recognition, measurement and impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting. The standard replaces the earlier IAS 39 standard and is effective from January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted.

Dometic will apply the new standards effective from January 1, 2018, with no comparative historical adjustments as permitted by the standard.

Dometic has reviewed the standard during latter 2016 and 2017 with the conclusion presented in the Annual report 2017 that the new rules regarding classification and valuation have an immaterial impact on Dometic Group. As a result of this, no material transition effects have been identified and no transition effect is recorded in the group financial statements on December 31, 2017.

Dometic determined that all existing hedge relationships that are currently designated in effective hedging relationships will continue to qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9.

Financial assets

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on tradedate, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Dometic classifies and measures its financial assets in the following categories: Amortized cost and fair value through profit and loss.

a) Amortized costs: The Group's financial assets at amortized cost comprise trade receivables and other receivables as well as cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. The objective of holding these financial assets is to collect the contractual cash flows, thus the "hold to collect" business model. The cash flows from these assets are solely payment of principal and interest, and are therefore measured at amortized cost. Selling or trading these financial assets are not part of the business model. If a sale would occur, it would be incidental and low frequent.

Trade receivables within this category are amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of

business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

b) Fair value through profit and loss: Financial derivatives that are not subject to hedge accounting are always recognized at fair value through profit and loss. Valuation of financial derivatives at fair value is done at the most recent updated market prices. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category is presented in the operating result or financial net in the income statement depending on the nature of the economic relationship with the underlying asset.

Assets are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as non-current. Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities later than 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group has revised its impairment methodology for financial assets subject to IFRS 9's impairment model for financial assets leading to a so called expected credit loss model. With start on January 1, 2018, Dometic recognizes expected credit losses over the expected life of the trade receivables. Historical information by legal entity is used regarding credit loss experience and ageing to forecast future credit losses. In addition, current and forward-looking information by legal entity is used to reflect current and expected future losses. To support and harmonize the organization, a calculation matrix for calculating expected credit losses has been developed by headquarters and distributed to the relevant functions throughout the Group.

Dometic applies the simplified approach to measure life time expected credit losses for trade receivables to provide for losses each closing. The new model changed the loss allowance immaterially.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Liabilities to credit institutions are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates. Liabilities to credit institutions are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The derivatives in Dometic hedge a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. Amounts accumulated in equity are accounted for in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings are recognized in the financial net. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is also recognized in the financial net. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the income statement.

Net investment hedges

Dometic applies hedge accounting for net investment in foreign operations. Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss within other income or other expenses. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss when the foreign operation is sold.

NOTE 2 | RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As all businesses, Dometic is exposed to a number of risks that could have a material impact on the Group. These risks are factors that impact Dometic's ability to achieve established Group targets. This applies to both financial targets and targets in other areas outlined in Dometic's business strategy. Dometic performs an annual risk analysis by assessing each defined risk's likelihood and impact in a risk register, resulting in global and regional risk maps presented to Group management and the Board of Directors and used as a foundation for the control activities within Dometic. The risks that Dometic is exposed to are classified into four main categories (business and market risks, operational risks, compliance and regulatory risks and financial risks) where each category has underlying risks. These risks can be both internal and external. Internal risks are mainly managed and controlled by Dometic whereas external risk factors are not caused nor can be controlled by Dometic but the effects can be limited by an effective risk management.

Dometic 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's future risk exposure is assumed not to deviate from the inherent exposure associated with Dometic's ongoing business operations. For a more in-depth analysis of risks and risk management, please refer to Dometic's 2017 Annual Report.

TABLE TO NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 3 | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 value of Dometic's derivative asset and liabilities were SEK 121 m (Q2 2017: SEK 40 m) and SEK 68 m, (Q2 2017: SEK 38 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.

NOTE 7 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS 2018

Acquisition of SeaStar Solutions

During Q1 2018 the goodwill in the preliminary purchase price allocation has been adjusted with SEK +13 m. In Q2 2018 a repayment of the purchase price consideration held in escrow of SEK 16 m was received and adjusted against goodwill (reducing goodwill with SEK -16 m).

Acquisition of IPV and Oceanair Marine Limited

The purchase price allocation of IPV and Oceanair Marine Limited are considered as final. No changes have been made.

2017

Acquisition of SeaStar Solutions

On November 22, 2017, Dometic announced the acquisition of SeaStar Solutions, leading provider of vessel control, fuel and system integration systems to the leisure marine industry. SeaStar Solutions is based in North America and employs 1,250 people. The transaction was closed on December 15, 2017 after all approvals from relevant competition authorities was obtained, and Dometic has consolidated the company as of that date. The total cash purchase price amounted to USD 868 m (SEK 7,286 m). The summary of value adjustments recognized as a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation of SeaStar Solutions amounts in total to SEK 7,361 m, including goodwill of SEK 3,361 m, trademarks and tradenames SEK 1,376 m, other intangible assets SEK 3,365 m, tangible assets SEK 347 m, other non-current assets SEK 1 m, cash SEK 1 m, net operating assets and liabilities SEK 686 m and provisions and other noncurrent liabilities of SEK -1,777 m.

Goodwill is justified by new potential customers and new future technologies with SeaStar Solution's leading position in vessel control, fuel systems and system integration and strong relationships with manufacturers. Acquisition-related costs amount to SEK 58 m, reported as items affecting comparability in Q4 2017. Sales and cost synergies of USD 20 m per annum will be fully realized within 3 years. The acquisition has affected consolidated net sales from the date of the acquisition by SEK 108 m and operating profit by SEK 5 m, including step-up costs

for fair value revaluation of inventory of SEK 9 m. If the acquisition had been consolidated as of January 1, 2017, the effect on pro forma net sales would have been USD 320 m and EBITDA of USD 85 m.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the purchase price allocation for acquisition is preliminary for up to 12 months after the acquisition date and is subject to refinement as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair values of the assets and liabilities becomes available.

Acquisition of IPV and Oceanair Marine Limited

On December 22, 2016, Dometic announced the acquisition of the assets of IPV, a Germany-based aftermarket provider of coolers and other outdoor products. The acquisition strengthens Dometic's position in the EMEA market for mobile coolers. The purchase price was EUR 3.5 m, and the transaction was closed on January 3, 2017. On February 7, 2017, Dometic acquired Oceanair Marine Limited, a UK-based market-leading manufacturer of marine blinds, screens and soft furnishings for the Leisure Marine and Super Yacht segments. The acquisition strengthens Dometic's presence in the marine market and broadens the product portfolio. The company reported revenues of GBP 11.4 m for the 2015/2016 fiscal year. The initial purchase price was GBP 14.0 m in cash, with an additional earn-out consideration of a maximum of GBP 2.5 m subject to the achievement of certain performance-related targets over the next 16 months.

The summary of value adjustments recognized as a result of the acquisition of Oceanair amounts in total to SEK 160 m, including goodwill of SEK 80 m, other intangible assets (trademarks and customer relationships) of SEK 100 m, and a deferred tax liability of SEK 20 m. Acquisition-related costs expensed in the consolidated income statement Q1 2017 amounts SEK 2.5 m.

The total purchase price consideration in cash for the transactions (IPV, Oceanair), less cash and cash equivalents, amounts to SEK 197 m, including earn-out paid in the third quarter 2017. The acquisitions did not have any significant impact on operating profit during 2017.
