CEO COMMENTS


Operating profit (EBIT) before i.a.c (SEK m)
Rolling 12-month net sales

Previous full year 2019 outlook (presented on
July 17, 2019): negative organic growth and an EBIT margin above 14 percent. Leverage excluding acquisitions is expected to be around 2x by the end of 2019.
All references to EBIT and EBIT margin on this page refer to EBIT before items affecting comparability unless otherwise stated.
Market conditions in the quarter remained similar to what we have seen throughout 2019. Despite a challenging global trading environment impacting us in the quarter, we are pleased with our underlying performance delivering net sales growth of 2 percent, continued high operating profit and a strong cash flow.
Our focus continues to be delivering on initiatives that support our long-term strategy. A number of key hirings are in place to drive new growth areas and aftermarket focus. The innovation index is rising and is now at 16 percent and we have seen a 14 percent SKU reduction during the first nine months. I am also pleased to see inventory reduction progressing at a good rate whilst the opening of a larger site in Mexico in August will make us more competitive going forward.
During the last 18 months we revised and started the execution of our strategy to build an even stronger and more profitable company long term by broadening our addressable market, increasing our efficiency and further reducing our exposure to cyclicality and seasonality. As part of our strategy, and considering the current market situation, we are now accelerating the optimization of operational structures by launching a global restructuring program. The program focuses on outsourcing of non-core activities and consolidation of locations. The execution of this program, in combination with a strong financial position, will allow us to deliver on our financial targets and take full advantage of the many opportunities ahead.
The restructuring program is estimated to generate positive annualized effects on earnings of approximately SEK 400 m when fully implemented. We anticipate that the effect will gradually become apparent from the beginning of 2021, achieving its full impact in the middle of 2022. The cost of implementing the program will be around SEK 750 m. It is estimated that the majority of the cost will be charged in the coming 18 months. Approximately 20 locations, including manufacturing, warehouses and offices, and 1,500 employees working in these locations will be affected by the program.
Americas reported net sales growth of -3 percent in the quarter, of which -12 percent was organic. The sales decline was driven by a negative development in Food & Beverage, while Other Applications showed a strong performance. The EBIT margin was 12.0 percent. The additional US tariffs and the continued volume decline in the US RV market could not be fully offset by all the actions taken in the Americas region. Total impact from tariffs was SEK 86 m in the quarter and SEK 176 m for the first nine months, and it has been more of a challenge to offset the impact to the same extent as during the first half of 2019. We will continue our efforts to reduce the tariff impact moving forward by pricing, transferring of production and outsourcing, and we expect to see improvements in 2020.
EMEA reported net sales growth of 13 percent in the quarter, of which 3 percent was organic. The sales growth was driven by a strong performance in Climate and Power & Control. Kampa continued to develop in a highly positive way, exhibiting strong growth and improved profitability. The EBIT margin was 13.8 percent, and the positive trend was a result of continued efficiency improvements and pricing.
APAC reported net sales growth of -3 percent in the quarter, of which -7 percent was organic. Climate and Power & Control displayed a positive sales trend. Food & Beverage was negatively impacted by a weak performance in Australia. The EBIT margin remained at a high level at 20.9 percent, although impacted by a continued soft market in Pacific.
Operating cash flow was SEK 1,301 m, an increase of 54 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Leverage improved to 2.7x (3.0x) by the end of the third quarter 2019. Leverage is expected to continue to come down in a good way also during the fourth quarter, creating opportunities for acquisitive growth.
In the short term, the uncertainty in some of our markets remains. Due to continued challenging market conditions in the Americas and the additional impact of US tariffs, the new full year 2019 outlook is negative organic growth, an EBIT margin around 13.5 percent. Leverage excluding acquisitions is expected to be around 2.4x by the end of 2019.
We are confident about the long-term positive trends in the Mobile Living industry and the opportunities for acquisitive growth, and we will continue to deliver on our strategic direction to take Dometic to the next level.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
Dometic Group AB (publ) reg. no. 556829-4390
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Dometic Group AB (publ) as of 30 September 2019 and the nine-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
NOTE 1 | ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
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 2018 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 1-18 and pages 1-11 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 principles for 2019 adopted by the Group
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 Leases came into effect as of January 1, 2019. The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases and it is applied by the Group since January 1, 2019. This supersedes all lease requirements under IFRS.
For the IFRS 16 transition, Dometic decided to apply the simplified retrospective approach and has not restated comparative amounts for 2018, the year prior to first adoption. All right-of-use assets are measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption, and are adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease expense.
The Group uses the practical expedient for non-lease components, which means that each lease component and any associated non-lease component will not be treated separately but accounted for as one. Leases with similar characteristics can as a practical expedient be treated under the so-called portfolio approach. Dometic Group does not use this practical expedient but will account for leases on an individual basis. Dometic Group is using the recognition exemption for short-term leases and lowvalue leases and classifies all IT and office equipment as lowvalue assets and hence does not include them in the balance sheet.
The impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements was an opening balance increase, deriving from a lease liability and right-of-use asset of around SEK 500 m, each adjusted by the amount of prepaid or accrued lease payment. There was no effect in equity. The details below illustrate the link to recognized IFRS 16 opening lease liabilities from the previously classified operating lease commitments of IAS 17 Leases.
Future minimum lease charges for operating leases at nominal value on December 31, 2018 amounted to SEK 698 m. This amount is reduced by short-term lease agreements of SEK 164 m, low-value asset lease agreements of SEK 16 m, increased by lease term extensions of SEK 25 m, and reduced by the impact
of discounting of SEK 26 m. This results in an opening lease liability of SEK 517 m for January 1, 2019.
The detailed description of the accounting and valuation principles for leases applied by the Group in this interim report can be found in Note 2.1.1 Changes in accounting policies, New and amended accounting policies for 2019 and later, of the 2018 Annual Report.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments IFRIC 23 – Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments is effective as of January 1, 2019. The transition has no impact. The Group has applied IFRIC 23 as of January 1, 2019.
NOTE 2 | RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Risks are part of any business and Dometic is no exception. As a global Group with production and distribution all over the world, Dometic faces risks that can impact its ability to achieve established goals, including financial targets. Effective risk management of business and market risks, operational risks (including sustainability risks), compliance and regulatory risks and financial risks creates opportunities and effective risk protection.
Dometic works according to an established risk management process with risk identification, risk assessment, risk prioritization, risk response and monitoring. The risk universe together with global and regional risk registers, risk assessments, risk maps, risk owners and the Risk Committee constitute the cornerstones of the Group's risk management. Risk responses could be avoiding the risk, reducing the risk, sharing the risk or accepting the risk. Examples of risk responses are internal control frameworks, internal quality programs, whistle blowing functions, insurance programs and crisis management procedures for offices and management, as well as for local factories and warehouses, as part of business continuity plans, and also to follow the development of external risks in order to be able to act quickly. Risks and risk responses are assessed annually and documented in a risk register that generates risk maps at Group and regional levels. These risk maps are the foundation for the Group's operational risk ownership and also serve as a foundation for the Group's control functions, such as Internal Control and Internal Audit, for their prioritization of focus areas. Dometic's risk owners are members of Group senior management as well as specialists and functional heads of departments. Risk owners assess their respective risks in terms of likelihood and impact and discuss and approve risk responses in terms of risk mitigating activities.
The Risk Committee is the operational forum at Group level with the purpose to discuss and make decisions on risk-mitigating activities and is represented by Finance, Operations, Product Development, HR including Health and Safety, Legal, Quality, Internal Control and Internal Audit. The CFO is the chairman of the Risk Committee. The main tasks of the Risk Committee are to assess Group risks, discuss recent risk-related issues, facilitate input from Risk Committee members and review riskrelated reports and evaluate and approve risk mitigating activities. Formal minutes with agreed actions are recorded and

reviewed at the next meeting. The work of the Risk Committee is regularly reported to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors annually.
Financial risks are risks associated with Dometic's global presence and can influence the profit and financial position, as well the ability to achieve established goals. Financial risks are managed in accordance with the Finance Policy approved by the Board. Financial risks are divided into currency risks, interest rate risks, liquidity risks, financing risks, credit risks and tax risks.
As Dometic is a global Group with operations in many countries, Dometic is exposed to both transaction risks and translation risks. Transaction risk arises where assets and liabilities are stated in different currencies and certain net sales and costs arise in different currencies. Translation risk arises when the Group's financial statements are consolidated, and the currencies differ from the functional currency of certain operating subsidiaries. Changes in interest rates can impact the Group's profit and cash flow. Liquidity risk refer to the inability to meet payment obligations due to insufficient funds or inability to meet payment obligation without significant higher financing cost. Maintaining the Group's capital structure and reducing the cost of capital through optimal capital structure are crucial for the Group's ability to continue to generate returns for shareholders. Failure by counterparties to meet payment obligations can have a negative impact on the Group's profit and financial position.
Changes in tax laws could increase Dometic's tax burden or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the company's business, financial position and profit. The cancellation or restriction on the use of the Group's tax loss carry forwards may have a significant impact on the Group's tax burden, including a potential imposition of tax surcharges, and could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, financial position and profit. Dometic's tax burden could increase if tax authorities consider that Dometic does not act in accordance with applicable rules on transfer pricing. Dometic's risk and risk management are described on pages 67-71 and on pages 97-100 of the 2018 Annual Report.
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 values of Dometic's derivative assets and liabilities were SEK 65 m (Q3 2018: SEK 116 m) and SEK 61 m, (Q3 2018: SEK 80 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 9 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS 2019

2018
Acquisition of Kampa
On December 3, 2018, Dometic acquired Kampa, an innovative provider of Retail and Aftermarket products based in the UK. Kampa significantly broadens Dometic's Retail and Aftermarket
offering in EMEA, with good potential for further expansion and profitable growth.
The cash purchase price was GBP 50 m on a debt and cash free basis excluding potential earnout elements. The total cash purchase price amounted to GBP 57.9 m including earnout elements of GBP 8.5 m. GBP 8.5 m has been accounted for as a non-interest-bearing liability to the sellers.
If the acquisition had been consolidated as of January 1, 2018, the effect on proforma net sales would have been GBP 40 m and EBITDA of 7 m. Aftermarket sales account for 100% of revenue. The business operates with a small fixed asset base, which requires limited Capex each year.
The summary of value adjustments recognized as a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation of Kampa totals SEK 512 m, including goodwill of SEK 309 m, trademarks and tradenames of SEK 16 m, customer relationships of SEK 208 m, other intangible assets of SEK 1 m, operating assets of SEK 222 m, cash of SEK 31 m, other non-current liabilities of SEK 47 m and operating liabilities of SEK 229 m.
Goodwill is justified by new potential customer relationships and market position. Acquisition-related costs in the consolidated income statement for Q4 2018 amount to SEK 10 m. Sales and cost synergies are expected to be limited. The acquisition has affected consolidated net sales with SEK 12 m and operating profit of SEK -3.5 m, including step-up inventory of SEK -2.6 m.
NOTE 10 | SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD.
Stefan Fristedt joined Dometic as the new CFO on October 1, 2019.
A global restructuring program was launched after the end of the quarter. Total estimated cost of the program amounts to SEK 750 m. The majority of the cost will be charged in the coming 18 months. The program is estimated to generate positive effects on earnings of around SEK 400 m when fully implemented, with full annualized impact in the middle of 2022.
