CEO comments

Improved profitability, back to organic growth

During the third quarter we grew organically with improved margin and strong cash flow.

Based on the positive development I stay cautiously optimistic for the near term.

Alberto Zanata, President and CEO

Despite challenges in the Middle East and parts of Asia, the Group continued the positive overall development in the quarter. Sales grew 1.5% organically and by 6.5% in total. EBITA improved to SEK 325m (290), despite a negative impact from currency of approximately SEK 35m. EBITA margin improved in both segments to 11.1% (10.5) in total. Order intake was higher than a year ago.

Sales of Food & Beverage declined organically by 0.7% compared to last year. EBITA improved somewhat, resulting in an EBITA margin of 9.6% (9.3). Sales in our largest market, Europe, grew organically by 3%, while the US declined by 3%. Middle East burdened the APMEA region (Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa) where sales declined by 12%. In the US, we have now had a sequential sales recovery three quarters in a row. Order intake continued to be higher than a year ago, both in the US and in Europe, but lower in APMEA.

Sales of Laundry grew by 17.9%, including the acquired TOSEI, and organically, sales increased by 5.4%. The sales increase was predominantly driven by the Americas. The EBITA margin was 16.4% (16.1). Currency and the inclusion of TOSEI had a negative impact on the Laundry margin. The TOSEI integration continues on a positive

track and according to plan. Overall, order intake for the Laundry business was significantly higher than a year ago.

Operating cash flow after investments continues to be strong and amounted to SEK 441m (333).

The CO2 emissions from our operations (excluding 2024 acquisitions) have since 2019 decreased by 62% compared to the target to decrease 70% by 2030. The decrease is due to increased use of renewable energy, reduced gas consumption, and efficiency improvements.

During the quarter, we launched our new undercounter dishwasher, NeoBlue Touch, which is a commitment to efficiency, sustainability and performance. It is expected to drive volume growth and sales of consumables. The enhanced performance is expected to support our efforts to meet our Scope 3 emissions target.

Based on the positive development I stay cautiously optimistic for the near term.

Notes

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Electrolux Professional Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The Group's interim reports contain a condensed set of financial statements. For the Group this chiefly means that the disclosures are limited compared to the annual report. Enumerated amounts presented in tables and statements may not always agree with the calculated sum of the related line items due to rounding differences. The aim is for each line item to agree with its source and therefore there may be rounding differences affecting the total when adding up the presented line items.

The accounting principles adopted in the preparation of this interim report apply to all periods and comply with the accounting principles presented in the Group's Annual Report 2023. During quarter one the Group has implemented hedging of net investments. Changes, due to exchange rates, in the value of the hedge instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. Other fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cost of hedging. Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized immediately in profit or loss. On divestment of foreign operations, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recycled through profit or loss, increasing or decreasing the profit or loss on the divestment. Cost of hedging represents unrealized changes and will be zero when the hedging instrument matures.

Electrolux Professional has applied the exception to recognize and disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

For the Parent Company financial statements in general are presented in condensed versions and with limited disclosures compared to the annual report. The interim financial statements of Electrolux Professional AB have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9.

The most recent annual financial statements of Electrolux Professional AB have been prepared in compliance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and recommendation RFR2, Accounting for legal entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. During quarter one hedging of shares in subsidiaries (fair value hedge) was implemented. The fair value change of the hedging instrument is recognized in profit or loss, whereas changes in fair value related to cost of hedging is recognized in other comprehensive income. The change in fair value with regards to the hedged risk (change in exchanges rates) of the shares is also recognized in profit or loss. Cost of hedging represents unrealized changes in fair value and will be zero when the hedging instrument matures.

Reportable segments

Food & Beverage and Laundry represent the Group's reportable segments.

NOTE 2 DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE

Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time, when control of the products has transferred. Revenue from services related to installation of products, repairs or maintenance service is recognized over the time the service is provided. Sales of these services are not material in relation to the Group's total net sales.

Geography is considered to be an important attribute when disaggregating the reportable segment's revenue. Therefore, the table below presents net sales per geographical region based on the location of the end customer.

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. Derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross in the balance sheet.

Fair value estimation

Valuation of financial instruments at fair value is done at quoted market prices. Level 1 instruments quoted on the market, e.g., the major bond and interest-rate future markets, are all marked-to market with the current price. The foreign-exchange spot rate is used to convert the value into SEK. For level 2 instruments where no observable 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. 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.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not entirely based on observable market data.

On January 10, 2024, Electrolux Professional acquired 100% of the shares in TOSEI Corporation in a cash deal. The enterprise value amounted to JPY 23,006m corresponding to SEK 1,620m.

TOSEI, founded in 1950, had sales of approximately SEK 940m during 2023. After synergies, the EBITA margin is expected to be well in line with Electrolux Professional's EBITA target of 15%.

The company supplies washers, dryers, combined washers and dryers, tabletop vacuum packing machines, and stationary vacuum packing machines under the main brands TOSEI and TOSPACK.

The acquisition of TOSEI makes Electrolux Professional a larger player in Japan, which is the second largest laundry market and third largest food-service market globally. In addition, Electrolux Professional will be able to expand the vacuum packing products that are already used globally in the fast-growing segment of sous-vide cooking.

Definitions and reconciliation of alternative performance measures

Electrolux Professional Group 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 Group's internal reporting and are not audited. From quarter one 2024 two new APMs have been introduced, 'Return on net assets %' and 'End of period operating working capital, % of annualized net sales'. The APM reconciliations can be found on the Group's website www.electroluxprofessional.com/corporate/interim-reports/

APM	Definition	Reason for use
Organic growth %	Change in sales growth excluding net FX impact and acquisitions.	The Group's presentation currency is SEK while net sales are mainly in other currencies. Organic growth is dependent on fluctuations in SEK versus other currencies, and acquired or divested businesses can have a further impact on reported net sales. Organic growth adjusted for acquisitions, divestments and currency shows the underlying sales development without these parameters.
Acquisitions %	Change in net sales during the current period attributable to acquired operations in relation to prior year sales, following a period of 12 months commencing on the acquisition date.	See "Organic growth" above.
Divestments %	Change in net sales during the current period attributable to divested oper ations in relation to the prior period's sales, following a period of 12 months commencing on the divestment date.	See "Organic growth" above.
Operating income (EBIT)	Earnings before interest and tax.	Used as an indicator that shows the Group's ability to make a profit, regardless of the method of financing (determines the optimal use of debt versus equity).
Operating margin (EBIT margin)	Operating income expressed as a percentage of net sales.	Operating margin shows the operating income as a percentage of net sales. Operating margin is a key internal measure as the Group believes it provides users of the financial statements with a better understanding of the Group's financial performance both short and long term.
Items affecting comparability	Material profit or loss items such as capital gains and losses from divestments of product groups or major units, close-downs or significant down-sizing of major units or activities, significant impairment, and other major costs or income items.	Summarizes events and transactions with significant effects, which are rele vant for understanding the financial performance when comparing income for the current period with previous periods.
Operating margin excluding items affecting comparability	Operating income less items affecting comparability as a percentage of net sales.	Operating margin excluding items affecting comparability shows the oper ating income as a percentage of net sales adjusted for the items affecting comparability defined above. This is a key internal measure as the Group believes that it provides users of the financial statements with a better un derstanding 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 the Group's overall strategy for the use of cash.

APM	Definition	Reason for use
EBITA	Operating income less amortization and write-down related to intangible assets (excluding right-of-use assets).

EBITA margin	EBITA expressed as a percentage of net sales.	Used to evaluate business performance in relation to net sales in order to measure the efficiency of the Group.
EBITA excluding items affecting comparability	Operating income less amortization and write-down related to intangible assets (excluding right-of-use assets) and less items affecting comparability.	Items affecting comparability vary between years and periods and are excluded from EBITA in order to analyze trends.
EBITA margin excluding items affecting comparability	EBITA excluding items affecting comparability, expressed as a percentage of net sales.	Items affecting comparability vary between years and periods and are excluded from EBITA margin in order to analyze trends.
EBITDA	EBITA less depreciation.	This is an indicator of the cash-generating capacity of the business in relation to sales.
Operating cash flow after investments	Cash flow from operations and investments adjusted for financial items paid net, taxes paid, and acquisitions/divestments of operations.	To monetarize the cash from core operations.
Net debt	Shows short-term borrowings (short-term loans and trade receivables with recourse), accrued interest expenses and prepaid interest income and long-term borrowings, lease liabilities, net provisions for post-employment benefits less liquid funds (cash and cash equivalents, prepaid interest expenses, and accrued interest income).	Net debt describes the Group's total debt financing and is monitored by management.
Net debt/EBITDA	Net debt in relation to EBITDA (Net debt is based on the end-of-period balance. EBITDA is calculated based on last four rolling quarters).	A measurement of financial risk, showing net debt in relation to cash generation.
Operating working capital, % of net sales	Sum of currency-adjusted last twelve months' average of inventories, trade receivables, and trade payables (Operating working capital) as a percent age of the currency-adjusted last twelve months' average net sales. All months of the period are currency adjusted by applying the end-of-period average currency rate.	Used to evaluate how efficient the Group is in generating cash in relation to net sales.
Net assets	Total assets less liquid funds and pension assets minus non-interest-bearing liabilities. (non-interest-bearing = total liabilities less equity, total borrowings, pension liabilities and lease liabilities)	Net assets describes the operating assets less operating liabilities used to run the business.
Return on net assets, %	Twelve months rolling operating income expressed as a percentage of average twelve months operating net assets.	Used to evaluate how efficiently the Group is generating profit from the net assets employed.
End of period operating working capital, % of annualized net sales	Sum of currency adjusted end of period trade receivables, trade payables and inventories (Operating working capital) as a percentage of the annual ized currency adjusted last three months' average net sales. All months of the period are currency adjusted by applying the end of period average currency rate.
