Increased profit and growing geopolitical uncertainty

The first quarter of 2025 was another step in the right direction. Although sales were at the same level as last year, the EBITA margin increased to 11.8% (10.7).

We are currently showing good business progress across the company, but the new US tariffs announced in April have created extensive global macroeconomic uncertainty. The consequences of these measures and the effects on the general business cycle are currently hard to assess, but have had no impact on demand to date.

Stable development for Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage declined by 1.2% organically. This was mainly driven by a weak development in Middle East, a weak start of the year for Beverage, and a sales decline from a very strong corresponding quarter last year in Europe. Sales in the US continued to develop positively.

EBITA margin declined slightly to 10.2% due to higher investments in marketing and R&D, as

well as lower sales in APAC-MEA and in Beverage.

Order intake for Food & Beverage was higher than last year, driven by relatively strong US and APAC-MEA, while Europe was somewhat down compared to a strong reference last year.

Improved profitability for Laundry

Laundry sales grew by 0.9% organically despite a sales decline in the US after the strong inventory build-up during the fourth quarter of 2024.

EBITA margin improved to 17.3% driven by volume growth, and the burden of integration cost in the corresponding quarter of last year.

Order intake was lower than a year ago. Overall, Laundry has been developing well, with good progress in both Europe and the US.

We showed good business progress during the quarter with an order intake on a relatively good level. However, the current geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties makes it hard to predict how the market will develop. This said, we have so far been able to navigate uncertain situations, and we have proven to be resilient.

Important exhibitions

During the quarter, several important exhibitions took place. At the HOTERES exhibition in Japan we demonstrated a large Food product range for the first time including combi ovens, blast chillers, panini grills and food preparation equipment that will be distributed through the TOSEI network together with vacuum packing products. At NAFEM in the US, we demonstrated a large range of Food & Beverage products, and we had a record high number of visitors and leads. We also attended the HOTELEX exhibition in China where we presented our new dishwashers and cooking products manufactured in China with a great response from customers.

Macroeconomic uncertainty

The new US tariffs will have some impact on our business since products imported to the US represents approximately 12% of Group sales. However, most of our Food products sold in the US are made in the US while Beverage products are imported to the US, mainly from Thailand. This means

that for the Food & Beverage business, products imported to the US represent approximately 10% of the total segment. For the Laundry business, products are imported to the US from Sweden and Thailand and this business represents approximately 15% of total sales for the Laundry segment.

Based on the current tariff levels, the impact after mitigating activities is expected to be limited on the result in 2025.

We showed good business progress during the quarter with an order intake on a relatively good level. However, the current geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties makes it hard to predict how the market will develop. This said, we have so far been able to navigate uncertain situations, and we have proven to be resilient. We have initiated activities to mitigate a large part of the impact from the current tariffs. This makes me confident that we will be able to navigate this situation too.

Operating income and EBITA

Operating income excluding amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 363m (326), corresponding to a margin of 11.8% (10.7). Operating income amounted to SEK 306m (271), corresponding to a margin of 9.9% (8.9). Price, lower material costs, higher sales in Laundry, and improved performance in Food & Beverage in Americas contributed to EBITA, while marketing and innovation costs were higher. In addition, the corresponding quarter of last year was burdened by integration costs of SEK 38m.

Financial net

Net financial items amounted to SEK –21m (–33). Finance net is lower due to lower debt and currency impact.

Income for the period

Income for the first quarter amounted to SEK 199m (171), corresponding to SEK 0.69 (0.60) in earnings per share. Income tax for the period amounted to SEK –86m (–66). The tax rate for the first quarter was 30.1% (27.9). Income tax was higher mainly due to tax on internal dividends.

Group common cost

Group common cost was SEK –36m (–40).

Sales and EBITA margin

In the first quarter, Food & Beverage sales were SEK 1,859m (1,852), an increase by 0.4% compared to the same period last year. Organically, sales decreased by 1.2%, the acquisition of Adventys contributed by 1.1%, and currency had an effect of 0.5%.

Sales increased in Americas by approximately 3% but decreased by approximately 3% in Europe and by 4% in Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA). The increase in sales in Americas was

mainly driven by continued strong sales development to chains. The sales decline in Europe is against a very strong development in South Europe in the corresponding quarter of last year, but also a week start of the year in Beverage. The decline in APMEA is mainly related to the Middle East.

Operating income excluding amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 189m (201), corresponding to a margin

of 10.2% (10.9). The decline in EBITA is mainly due to lower sales of Beverage, and higher investments in marketing and R&D. The corresponding quarter of last year also included integration costs of SEK 11m.

Operating income amounted to SEK 145m (162), corresponding to a margin of 7.8% (8.7).

Net sales and EBITA margin

In the first quarter, Laundry sales were SEK 1,214m (1,203), an increase by 0.9% compared to the same period last year. Organically, sales increased by 0.9%, and currency changes were neutral.

Sales increased organically by approximately 9% in Europe, but declined by 14% in Americas, and by 10% in Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The decline in Americas was mainly due to the strong

inventory build-up during the fourth quarter of 2024. However, sales from our distributor to end customers in the Americas were postive in the quarter.

Operating income excluding amortization of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 210m (165), corresponding to a margin of 17.3% (13.7). The improved EBITA margin is due to higher sales,

price and lower material costs. The corresponding quarter of last year also included integration costs of SEK 26m. Operating income amounted to SEK 196m (150), corresponding to a margin of 16.2% (12.4).

Notes

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 2024.

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.

Reportable segments

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

Note 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 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.

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. The APM reconciliations can be found on the Group's website www.electroluxprofessionalgroup.com/reports-and-presentations/

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, divest
ments and currency shows the underlying sales development without these
parameters.
Acquisitions % Change in net sales during the current period attributable to ac
quired 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 operations 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 im
pairment, 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 percent
age 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 develop
ment, 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 gives an indication of the operating income less amortization and
write-down related to intangible assets (excluding right-of-use assets),
mainly used to follow up operating income without the impact of amortiza
tion of surplus values related to acquisitions.
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 opera
tions.
To monetarize the cash from core operations.
Net debt Shows short-term borrowings (short-term loans and trade receiv
ables 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 equiva
lents, 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 inven
tories, trade receivables, and trade payables (Operating working
capital) as a percentage 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 percent
age 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 per
centage of the annualized 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.
