Sales and profitability improved, US Food & Beverage back to growth

During the fourth quarter sales grew by 11.9% with organic growth of 3.3%. EBITA amounted to SEK 400m (302), resulting in an EBITA margin of 12.0% (10.1).

The improved EBITA margin was driven by volume growth in Laundry as well as margin improvement in Food & Beverage in both Europe and Americas. Order intake was higher than a year ago.

Sales in Food & Beverage grew by 3.2% but declined organically by 1.9% compared to last year. EBITA improved, resulting in an EBITA margin of 9.6% (8.8). Sales in Europe declined, related to the phaseout of low margin products and a weak market in Central Europe and the Nordics. At the same time it was very rewarding to see Americas returning to organic growth and improved margin. Sales in Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa declined, mainly due to continued weak development in the Middle East. Order intake for the Food & Beverage business was higher than a year ago.

Sales in Laundry grew by 26.5%. The acquisition of TOSEI contributed with 14.7%, and organic growth amounted to 11.8% driven by Europe and particularly strong development in the US. The EBITA margin was 18.0% (15.7). The TOSEI margin was in line with the Group margin and its sales grew during the quarter. The integration continues according to plan. Order intake for the total Laundry business was higher than a year ago.

Operating cash flow after investments amounted to SEK 532m (570). Capital expenditures were significantly higher than a year ago, driven by investments in product innovation.

I am very proud to see that Electrolux Professional Group was among the top 500 companies in the World's Best Companies –

Sustainable Growth 2025 ranking by TIME and Statista. This demonstrates that financial growth and sustainable development go hand in hand, and also underlines our position as the sustainability leader in our industry. During 2024 we reduced CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 18% compared to 2023.

During 2024, we grew the company through two strategic acquisitions: TOSEI, a leading company in Laundry and Vacuum packing in Japan and Adventys, a French manufacturer of induction cooking equipment. Organically, for the full year, sales were flat, but we continued our path of improving Group profitability achieving an EBITA margin of 11.6%. Excluding acquisition and integration costs, our EBITA margin would have been 12.0% (11.1%). Cash flow improved which means that we have a strong balance sheet with an improved net debt/EBITDA ratio (1.4x) compared to the beginning of the year.

Although we see a continued uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical climate, Laundry continues to be strong, Food & Beverage in the US has returned to growth, and Food & Beverage in Europe has improved profitability. Looking toward the beginning of 2025, we expect to continue our improvements.

President and CEO

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.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUES AND CARRYING AMOUNTS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

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.

NOTE 5 ACQUIRED OPERATIONS

Acquired operations in 2024 TOSEI Corporation

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 has approximately 340 employees and is based in Tokyo. TOSEI operates one manufacturing facility in Izunokuni, Shizuoka and has six regional sales offices in Japan. 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.

Goodwill mainly represents the value of increasing Electrolux Professional's presence in Japan. Goodwill will not be deductible for income tax.

TOSEI's net sales and operating income from January 1, 2024, to the completion of the deal is immaterial and have been included fully in the consolidated financial statements of Electrolux Professional. TOSEI has for the period January until the end of the reporting period contributed to net sales and operating income (including amortization of surplus values) by JPY 11,518m and JPY 28m respectively, approximately SEK 805m and SEK 2m respectively.

Approximately 70% of the business is included in the Laundry segment and 30% in Food & Beverage.

The company had global sales of approximately SEK 70m in 2023, and an EBITA margin higher than Electrolux Professional's EBITAtarget of 15%.

The acquisition of Adventys gives Electrolux Professional access to the development of our own induction technology while at the same time maintaining and strengthening Electrolux Professional's leadership in horizontal cooking. Goodwill mainly represents the value of increasing Electrolux Professional's know-how in induction technology. Goodwill will not be deductible for income tax.

Adventys net sales and operating income from January 1, 2024, to the completion of the deal amounted to EUR 2.2m and EUR 0.03m respectively, approximately SEK 25.4m and SEK 0.3m respectively.

For the period from the acquisition date until the end of the reporting period Adventys has contributed to net sales and operating income (including amortization of surplus values) by EUR 3.8m and EUR –0.13m respectively, approximately SEK 43.2m and SEK –1,5m respectively.

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.

mainly used to follow up operating income without the impact of amortiza
tion of surplus values related to acquisitions.

measure the efficiency of the Group.
EBITA excluding items

paid net, taxes paid, and acquisitions/divestments of operations.
To monetarize the cash from core operations.

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).

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).

liabilities and lease liabilities)

average twelve months operating net assets.
