We are pleased to announce the third quarter results with an improved EBITA1) margin of 14.3 percent (14.0) and our second best quarterly operating cash flow ever of SEK 2.1 b (0.8), despite the challenging macroeconomic situation and market conditions. The net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio improved sequentially to 2.9x and we are heading towards our target of around 2.5x.
Net sales in the quarter totaled SEK 6,830 m (7,576), which represents an organic net sales decline by 12 percent. The situation in the Service & Aftermarket sales channel continues to improve gradually and organic net sales declined by 5 percent compared to a decline by 10 percent in the second quarter. Organic net sales in the Distribution sales channel declined by 13 percent as retailers are re-balancing their inventories with a temporary negative impact on the Igloo business. Net sales in the OEM sales channel declined by 16 percent organically due to lower net sales in the Marine segment and lower RV OEM net sales in Americas.
The improved EBITA margin was driven by segments EMEA, Global and APAC, where selective pricing and cost reduction measures are generating results. While RV production in the US remains significantly below last year, segment Americas delivered a positive EBITA for the quarter supported by efficiency improvements and organic net sales growth in Service & Aftermarket. The Igloo business delivered a margin on a par with last year despite lower net sales. It is encouraging to see how our integration activities are generating results, and following several customer meetings introducing the 2024 Mobile cooling portfolio, we feel highly optimistic about the future.
Segment Marine saw organic net sales decline by 15 percent due to lower industry boat production. After three years of strong organic growth, we experienced a slowdown in the quarter. The robust EBITA margin of 23.8 percent (25.7) shows how continuous efficiency improvements and investments in product innovation are generating results. Net sales in the Marine Service & Aftermarket sales channel were stable giving further resilience to the EBITA margin.
Our short-term focus on adjusting capacity and improving cash flow is generating results and operating cash flow improved significantly supported by continued inventory reductions. Compared to a year ago, inventories have declined by more than SEK 2 b. and we expect further reduction going forward.
The innovation index improved sequentially to 16 percent compared to 15 percent in the second quarter. Our short-term focus on reducing inventories, by driving sales on existing products, is having a temporary negative impact on the index. The pipeline of new products is robust and we expect to see progress towards our innovation index target of 25 percent as inventories of existing products are sold. We are increasing product development investments, most specifically in strategic structural growth areas such as Marine Steering Systems, Mobile Power Solutions and Mobile Cooling. In addition we are strengthening our organization around Sustainability, and the Sustainability KPIs are progressing towards our 2024 targets.
The long-term trends in the Mobile Living industry are strong, however it remains difficult to predict how the current macroeconomic situation and market conditions will impact the business in the short term. We anticipate the recovery in demand in the Service & Aftermarket sales channel to continue. In the Distribution sales channel we expect a somewhat softer demand for a few quarters as retailers are re-balancing their inventories, and expect the positive margin development year-on-year in Distribution to continue. In the OEM sales channel we foresee a continued gradual weakening in demand over the coming quarters, with the exceptions of RV Americas, where we expect to see a stabilization by the end of the year and CPV where we expect to see continued good demand.
While we will continue to be impacted by normal sales seasonality, the results in the last quarters show that we are transforming Dometic into a more diversified, effective and resilient consumer-oriented company. We will continue to relentlessly drive our strategic agenda to deliver on our targets, prioritize margins before volumes, and at the same time remain agile to quickly respond to short-term market trends.

LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate). The LTIFR for the third quarter 2023 was 1.9 (1.7) and better than the target of 2.0. The number of injuries have decreased compared to last year. The increase in LTIFR is due to less total worked hours in the Group, as a result of significantly fewer FTE's. Including acquisitions in 2021 and 2022, the LTIFR actual result was 1.6.

Share of female managers. The share of female managers has increased to 28% (24%) and signifies the Dometic's commitment to create a more equitable workplace.

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 2022 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 2023 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 2023, of the 2022 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 63- 67 and on pages 94-97 in the 2022 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.
The Group uses currency forward contracts to hedge part of its exposure to forecasted purchases and sales in foreign currency as well as to hedge receivables and payables in foreign currency.
The fair values of Dometic's derivative assets and liabilities were SEK 57 m (239) and SEK 116 m (191). 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.
