Message from the CEO:
Swift actions contributed to break-even EBITA, despite significant sales decline
Alberto Zanata, President and CEO
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial negative impact on commercial restaurants, hotels and pubs, representing approximately 50% of our sales. Sales to institutions as well as sales in Laundry have also been affected, but to a lesser extent.
Sales in the quarter declined by 40%, however improving throughout the quarter. In June, sales recovered and had a 20% organic decline after the significant 50% drop in April and May. Sales in the beginning of July are in line with the percentage decline registered in June. We interpret this as a sign of recovery.
Sales of Food & Beverage declined by 48% in the quarter, reporting a negative EBITA, while Laundry was more resilient with a sales decline of 22% and a good EBITA-margin of 13.5%.
The decline in EBITA is predominantly impacted by the large decline in sales volumes, but also a strong positive one-time-effect from a pension plan settlement in the second quarter of 2019. Short-term savings and improvements from the 2019 restructuring program contributed positively. I am proud of the swift actions taken by the team in this unprecedented time to keep EBITA at break-even and even have a small positive cash flow given the severity of the market decline.
Several actions have been put in place to reduce costs short-term, which only partially compensated for the rapid drop in sales. The cost-saving measures, including some structural savings and government support, have reduced our cost in the quarter by approximately SEK 200m.
In order to be more flexible and to adapt our cost structure, we are reviewing structural cost-saving initiatives. In addition, structural cost-reduction activities have already been implemented in the US and Industrial Operations. The ambition is to define and start to implement new measures during the second half of 2020 that together with the already implemented activities will generate yearly cost savings of SEK 100–150m. The structural measures under review will imply one-off costs which will be communicated later.
Many countries have gradually begun to reopen after the pandemic restrictions. This had a positive effect on our customers, although it is too early to say how fast the continued recovery will be, as the general market uncertainty is still significant. We continue to stay flexible, to rapidly adapt our ways of working and our organization to the changing market dynamics.
The flexibility of our organization has been demonstrated by the release of several new product and service initiatives, for example "Two pairs of eyes" which makes it possible for service technicians to provide remote support with augmented reality, but also new products within hygiene and clean.
I am particularly proud of how our employees have continued to show commitment, perseverance and flexibility during this unprecedented crisis. This is a demonstration that we will continue to stand strong also in the future.

Financial overview
Second quarter development
Net sales
The quarter was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,489m (2,455), a decline by 39.3% compared to the same period last year. Organically sales decreased by 39.9%. The contribution of acquisitions amounted to 0.8%, while currency had an negative impact of 0.3%. The sales decline was driven by lower sales volumes. Sales of Food & Beverage declined organically by 48% while Laundry was more resilient with a decline of 22%. Overall, the percentage sales decline was higher in the U.S than in Asia-Pacific and Europe, with Asia-Pacific having the smallest decline.
| Changes in net sales, % | Apr-Jun 2020 | Apr-Jun 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Organic growth | -39.9 | 2.1 |
| Acquisitions | 0.8 | 6.7 |
| Changes in exchange rates | -0.3 | 2.4 |
| Total | -39.3 | 11.2 |
Share of sales by segment, April-June 2020
Share of sales by region, April-June 2020
Operating income and EBITA
Operating income amounted to SEK -18m (401), corresponding to a margin of -1.2% (17.0). The decline in operating income is mainly due to lower sales volumes but also a strong comparator from positive one-off-effect of SEK 90m from a pension plan settlement in the second quarter of 2019 and higher cost related to new corporate functions.
Short-term cost activities to mitigate the sales decline contributed positively. They have included reduced worktime, reduction of consultants, use of holiday and government support and reduced discretionary spending. These actions, together with already implemented structural cost-saving activities, have reduced cost in the quarter by approximately SEK 200m compared to previous year. Operating income excluding amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK -4 (418) corresponding to a margin of -0.2% (17.0).
Sales and EBITA margin
1) The second quarter 2019 includes items affecting comparability of SEK <90m and the third quarter includes items affecting comparability of SEK -122m.
Financial net
Net financial items amounted to SEK -8m (-1).
Income for the period
Income for the period amounted to SEK -28m (126), corresponding to SEK -0.10 (0.44) in earnings per share. Income tax for the period amounted to SEK -2m (-274). Income tax in the second quarter 2019 was negatively affected by a tax provision.
Group common cost
Group common cost was SEK -27m (-1). The increase is driven by the new corporate functions needed as a stand-alone stock listed company.
Electrolux Professional - Interim report, Q2 2020
Segment Food & Beverage
In the second quarter, sales for Food & Beverage amounted to SEK 838m (1,619), a 48.2% decline compared to the same period last year. Organically sales decreased by 49.2%. The contribution from the acquisition of UNIC in April 2019 amounted to 1.3% while currency had an negative impact of 0.3%.
Sales were heavily impacted by COVID-19 and declined by approximately 50% in both Europe and the US, but somewhat less in Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Northern, Central and Eastern Europe were less affected than Southern Europe and the UK. In the US there is also a strong comparator from a large chain roll out in the second quarter of 2019. Sales in China showed a partial recovery compared to the first quarter and were less affected than sales in South East Asia and Middle East and Africa.
Operating income excluding amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK -64m (245). EBITA declined due to lower volumes. Operating income amounted to SEK -75m (233), corresponding to a margin of -9.0% (14.4).

Review Report
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Electrolux Professional AB (publ) for the period January 1 – June 30, 2020. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 Financial Information 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 has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The Group strives for arranging master-netting agreements (ISDA) with the counterparts for derivative transactions and has established such agreements with the majority of the counterparties, i.e., if a counterparty will default, assets and liabilities will be netted. Derivatives are presented gross in the balance sheet.
Fair value estimation
Valuation of financial instruments at fair value is done at the most accurate market prices available. Instruments which are quoted on the market, e.g., the major bond and interest-rate future markets, are all mark-to-market with the current price. The foreign-exchange spot rate is used to convert the value into SEK. For instruments where no reliable price is available on the market, cash-flows are discounted using the deposit/swap curve of the cash flow currency. If no proper cash-flow schedule is available, e.g., as in the case with forward-rate agreements, the underlying schedule is used for valuation purposes.
To the extent option instruments are used, the valuation is based on the Black & Scholes' formula. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market-interest rate for similar financial instruments. The Group's financial assets and liabilities are measured according to the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. At June 30, 2020, the fair value for Level 1 financial assets was SEK 0m (0) and for financial liabilities SEK 0m (0).
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 2 that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly. At June 30, 2020, the fair value of Level 2 financial assets was SEK 8m (2) and financial liabilities SEK 9m (2).
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not entirely based on observable market data. At June 30, 2020, the fair value of Level 3 financial assets was SEK 0m (1) and financial liabilities SEK 0m (0).

On January 21, 2020, a supplier filed a lawsuit in Italy against Electrolux Professional amounting to EUR 11.3m, approximately SEK 118m. The claimed amount covers alleged damages related to products and prices during the contractual period and compensation for costs resulting from allegedly wrongful termination of the supply agreement etc. Electrolux Professional rejects the claim but it cannot be ruled out that the final outcome could have a significant impact on Electrolux Professional's operating income and cash flow.
Electrolux Professional - Interim report, Q2 2020
Note 5 COVID-19
As a consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak, Electrolux Professional has assessed any potential impact on the carrying value of asset and liabilities.
Trade receivables
No material increase in actual credit losses has been experienced. Collection of trade receivables is carefully monitored. Some customers have asked for extended payment terms, each of these requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Management have stressed the need for even more focus on forward looking evaluation of the risk of not being able to collect payments and therefore the expected credit loss provision has increased to SEK 89m compared to year-end SEK 66m.
Credit insurance and other forms of collaterals, for example letter of credit and bank guarantees are used as a protection against credit risk. In addition, some sales are also made to governmental institutions which are deemed as secure.
Inventories
During the first six months, no material write-down of finished goods inventories or supplies have been recognized as a consequence of the COVID-19 situation.
Impairment of assets
No extraordinary impairment of assets has been recognized.
Leases
The Group has received some minor office rent reductions.
Government grants and government assistance
Companies within the Group have received or assume that they fulfil the requirements of monetary help from governments. As of June 30, the amount recognized in profit or loss is SEK 52m in the quarter and SEK 56m year to date and refers mainly to short-term furlough of personnel.
The Group has also utilized the possibility to postpone tax payments in Sweden resulting in positive operating cash flow effect of 48m in the quarter, the repayment will be made during quarter three and four 2020.

Definitions and reconciliation of alternative performance measures
Electrolux Professional presents certain measures that are not defined under IFRS (alternative performance measures – “APMs”). These are used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Group. Management believes that these APMs provide useful information regarding the Group’s financial and operating performance. Such measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Consequently, APMs have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for related financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. The APMs have been derived from the Electrolux Professional’s internal reporting and are not audited. The APM reconciliations can be found on Electrolux Professional website www.electroluxprofessional.com/corporate/interim-reports/

| Operating margin excluding items affecting comparability | Operating income excluding items affecting comparability as a percentage of net sales. | Operating margin excluding items affecting comparability shows the operating income in percentage of net sales adjusted for items affecting comparability. This is a key internal measure, as the Group believes that it provides users of the financial statements with a better understanding of the Group’s financial performance both short and long term. |
| Capital expenditure | Investments in property, plant and equipment, product development and other intangible assets. | Used to ensure that cash spending is in line with Group’s overall strategy for the use of cash. |
