Weak North America and strength in emerging markets

  • Net sales increased to SEK 35,244m (30,929), corresponding to an organic sales growth of 1.2%. Strong price execution and mix improvements were partly offset by significantly lower volumes driven by weaker market demand.
  • Operating income amounted to SEK -385m (1,639), corresponding to a margin of -1.1% (5.3).
  • Operating income includes a negative non-recurring item of SEK 350m, related to the exit from the Russian market, impacting business area Europe. Excluding this non-recurring item, operating income amounted to SEK -35m, corresponding to a margin of -0.1% (5.3). In addition to the weaker market environment, supply chain imbalances resulted in a significantly elevated cost level, mainly in business area North America that reported a loss of SEK 1.2bn.
  • A Group-wide cost reduction and North America turnaround program was initiated in the quarter and is expected to have a SEK 4-5bn positive earnings contribution in 2023. The program is expected to lead to a restructuring charge of SEK 1.2-1.5bn in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Income for the period amounted to SEK -605m (1,143) and earnings per share were SEK -2.23 (3.98).
  • Operating cash flow after investments was SEK -1,483m (-198), mainly a result of the reported loss.

President and CEO Jonas Samuelson's comment

In the third quarter, the weaker market environment in combination with supply chain imbalances resulted in significantly lower volumes and operational inefficiencies that led to breakeven earnings, excluding the one-time cost to exit the Russian market. Price once again offset significant cost inflation, predominantly in raw materials and logistics. The year-over-year earnings decline was primarily driven by business area North America, that reported a substantial loss, but also by our European operations. Both of our other business areas, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, increased earnings through successful product launch execution and good cost management.

High general inflation and low consumer confidence resulted in market demand declining in the quarter with the exception of Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, where demand was solid. In Europe and the U.S., deteriorating consumer sentiment resulted in an accelerated demand decrease compared with the second quarter. The impact of the slowdown in consumer demand was further amplified by high retailer inventory levels. Consumer sentiment is also next year assessed to be negatively impacted by inflation and higher interest rates. Hence, market demand in both Europe and North America for the full-year of 2023 is expected to further deteriorate, i.e. be negative year-over-year.

Against this background, a Group-wide cost reduction and North America turnaround program was initiated in the quarter. We are also reviewing our production capacity needs given current market situation.

Cost reduction and North America turnaround program

The program is for the full-year of 2023 expected to result in a positive year-over-year earnings contribution of SEK 4-5bn from both Cost efficiency and reduced Investments in innovation and marketing. The activities implemented under the program will gradually contribute to earnings over the course of 2023 and into 2024. Total cost reduction from the program is estimated to be in excess of SEK 7bn. The majority of the targeted cost savings will be realized in business area North America. The program is expected to lead to a restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2022 in the range of SEK 1.2-1.5bn, which will be reported as a non-recurring item. 3,500-4,000 positions will be affected by the program. For the sake of clarity, the cost reduction from the program includes and replaces the previously communicated benefits from the SEK 8bn global re-engineering investments.

The Group-wide cost reduction element of the program will primarily focus on three areas.

One area is to eliminate cost inefficiencies in our supply chain and production by adapting sales and production plans to what can be supplied in a stable manner and to right-size the workforce in our factories.

Another area is to leverage the organizational changes which took effect on July 1 this year. Through these changes, we have created stronger global organizations for operations, sales, admin, R&D and IT, which is also enabling efficiency gains.

Finally, we are optimizing our R&D and marketing investments. This includes leveraging recent global investment programs in R&D and prioritizing the highest ROI-opportunities as well as centralizing marketing and brand building activities.

Regarding business area North America, I am obviously very disappointed with our performance. The production transformation with the two new facilities Anderson and Springfield including several new product platforms, in combination with the particularly challenging supply chain conditions, require additional measures to return to stability and profitability. In addition to the three areas mentioned above for the whole Group, key activities for the North America turnaround are to stabilize and improve operational planning and to significantly improve cost efficiency in Anderson and Springfield to ensure cost competitiveness in these new production facilities. We remain highly confident in the consumer appeal of the new product ranges, which also the sales execution in the quarter resulting in year-over-year market share gains proves.

Providing resource efficient products is at the core of our strategy and recently consumers have become more aware of both consumption and price of energy. Our new European built-in fridge freezer range is much more energy efficient and hence delivers significant electricity cost benefits to consumers as well as up to 20% less CO2 emissions in the user phase than the previous range. Read more on page 12.

Although we are experiencing a challenging time, I am confident that Electrolux remains well positioned to create value and we will continue to invest in consumer experience innovations.

Net sales

Sales increased by 0.4% in the quarter, excluding currency translation effects. Organic sales increased by 1.2% and the exit from the Russian market had a negative impact of 0.8%.

The organic sales growth was mainly a result of strong price execution across all business areas, driven by list price increases. Promotional activities continued to normalize, essentially coming back to pre-pandemic levels. Successful product launches resulted in an improved mix. Volumes declined primarily as a result of weaker demand and partly due to supply chain constraints, although sequentially the constraints improved. Aftermarket sales were in line with last year.

Operating income

Operating income amounted to SEK -385m (1,639), corresponding to a margin of -1.1% (5.3). Operating income includes a non-recurring item of SEK -350m in the form of a capital loss from the sale of the Russian subsidiary as Electrolux has exited Russia, see page 13. Excluding this nonrecurring item, operating income amounted to SEK -35m, corresponding to a margin of -0.1% (5.3).

1 Operating income (EBIT) excluding non-recurring items.

2 Investments in consumer experience innovation and marketing. For more information on definitions, see page 3 under Business Outlook. The year-over-year earnings decline was driven by lower volumes, primarily due to the weaker market environment, and by significantly higher costs due to severe production inefficiencies and continued spot buys and air freight. Business area North America, that reported a loss of SEK 1.2bn, continued to be heavily impacted by supply chain imbalances resulting in a significantly elevated cost level. A Group-wide cost reduction and North America turnaround program was initiated in the quarter, see pages 2, 3 and 7. Mix improved in all business areas, primarily in Latin America and Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The increase in investments in innovation and marketing was mainly relating to innovation, while reduced discretionary spending primarily impacted marketing. Price offset significant cost inflation, mainly in raw material and logistics.

Financial net

Net financial items amounted to SEK –401m (–126). The change was mainly due to higher interest costs.

Income for the period

Income for the period amounted to SEK -605m (1,143), corresponding to SEK -2.23 (3.98) in earnings per share.

EBIT margin – 12 months is excluding non-recurring items, see pages 20 and 26.

First nine months of 2022

Sales growth was -0.9% in the first nine months, excluding currency translation effects. Organic sales decreased by 0.7%, driven by lower volumes. This was due to lower market demand as well as to limited product availability relating to a constrained supply chain primarily in the first half of 2022. Market demand in the first nine months of 2021 was strong.

Operating income amounted to SEK 1,749m (5,919), corresponding to a margin of 1.8% (6.6). The first nine months of 2022 included nonrecurring items of SEK 306m, see page 20. Excluding these non-recurring items, operating income amounted to SEK 1,443m corresponding to a margin of 1.5%. Lower volumes in combination with significantly higher costs due to supply chain imbalances impacted earnings negatively, while mix contributed positively. Strong price execution offset significant cost inflation, mainly in raw material and logistics. Income for the period amounted to SEK 602m (4,082), corresponding to SEK 2.18 (14.20) in earnings per share.

Market overview

In the third quarter the overall market demand in Europe and in the U.S. declined year-over-year. Consumer sentiment was in general low with consumer demand being negatively impacted by high general inflation, increased interest rates and geopolitical tensions. The impact of the slowdown in consumer demand was further amplified by high retailer inventory levels. For more information about the markets, please see the Business areas section.

Business areas

Europe

Market demand in Europe, excluding Russia, declined during the quarter by 15%, across countries. Consumer confidence levels were low with consumer demand being negatively impacted by the high general inflation, increased interest rates and geopolitical tensions. The impact of the slowdown in consumer demand was further amplified by high retailer inventory levels. Western Europe declined by 15% and Eastern Europe by 19%. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, demand in Europe declined by 8%.

Electrolux reported an organic sales decline of 9.7%, driven by lower volumes across product categories. This was mainly a result of the rapidly declining consumer demand but also due to supply chain constraints impacting product availability in some categories, although improving sequentially. In addition, the exit from the Russian market impacted sales negatively. Price developed strongly, driven both by list price increases implemented during the quarter and in previous quarters. Mix improved through a clear focus on the more premium brands Electrolux and AEG and high-mix products.

As previously announced, operating income included a non-recurring item of SEK -350m, relating to the exit from the Russian market, see page 13. Operating income excluding this item decreased to SEK 425m. The year-over-year decline was mainly due to lower volumes. Price offset the significant cost inflation, including negative currency development. Mix contributed positively. Remaining supply chain constraints continued to result in additional costs, while reduced discretionary spending started to impact earnings positively in the third quarter.

North America

During the quarter, market demand for core appliances in the U.S. decreased by 9%. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, the market demand increased by 1%. High general inflation and increased interest rates impacted consumer sentiment negatively. The impact of the slowdown in consumer demand was further amplified by high retailer inventory levels. Market demand for all major appliances, including microwave ovens and home-comfort products, decreased by 13% year-overyear.

The business area reported an organic sales growth of 2.3%. List price increases implemented earlier in the year and during last year impacted sales positively. Promotional activity continued to normalize. Increased sales of the new product ranges resulted in a positive mix. Overall volumes declined, mainly as a result of weaker market demand but also in part due to a strategic shift away from certain sourced products.

Electrolux reported a significant loss. This was a result of significantly elevated cost levels due to severe production inefficiencies and continued spot buys and air freight, combined with a weaker market environment and lower volumes. A turnaround program has been initiated. The production transformation with two new facilities and several new product platforms, coupled with particularly challenging supply chain conditions, require additional measures to return to stability and profitability. Key areas for the North America turnaround will be to significantly improve the cost efficiencies in the two new facilities by adapting sales and production plans and to right-size the workforce. In the quarter, price offset the significant cost inflation, mainly in raw material and logistics.

Latin America

During the quarter, consumer demand for core appliances is estimated to have declined double digit in the region. This was driven by Brazil and Chile, where higher general inflation and interest rates negatively impacted consumer purchasing power and consumer confidence, with signs of demand further weakening towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter. Last year, demand in Chile was also stimulated by government incentives. In Argentina, demand increased in the quarter, partly driven by improved product availability, and partly as a result of last year's negative effect of lockdowns.

Electrolux reported an organic sales growth of 13.5% in Latin America, driven both by strong price execution and improved mix. The higher price was mainly a result of list price increases implemented in previous quarters. Price increases implemented during the third quarter also contributed to sales. Promotional activity continued to normalize. Aftermarket sales developed strongly, while volumes deteriorated due to the challenging market conditions.

Operating income increased. Through successful product launches in key markets such as Brazil, and increased product availability, mix improved despite the decreased consumer

Market demand was solid in most key markets in the quarter and is estimated to have increased compared to last year, which was negatively impacted by lockdowns.

Electrolux reported organic sales growth of 13.7%. Volumes increased driven by improved product availability as well as last year being impacted by lockdowns. Successful product launches contributed to a strong mix, mainly driven by Middle East. Price continued to develop favorably, primarily from list price increases implemented in previous quarters.

Operating income increased compared to last year, driven by a favorable contribution from volume and strong mix execution, as well as good cost control. Price almost offset the significant cost inflation, including currency headwinds. Further targeted list price increases were implemented during the third quarter.

Cash flow

Operating cash flow after investments amounted to SEK -1,483m (-198) in the quarter. The year-over-year comparison mainly reflects a lower operating income in combination with a higher level of investments, impacting cash flow negatively. Inventory remained at an elevated level, primarily due to market demand deteriorating faster than anticipated in Europa and North America, coupled with continued extended lead times and irregular supply.

During the quarter, Electrolux repurchased own shares of series B for a total amount of SEK 599m. The share buybacks form part of the buyback program of a maximum of 8,000,000 series B shares, which has thereby been completed through repurchases for a total amount of SEK 1,138m, during the period May 2 – September 2, 2022.

Operating cash flow after investments in the first nine months of 2022 amounted to SEK -6,360m (1,097).

Share buybacks

During the period July 1 – September 2, 2022 AB Electrolux has repurchased 4,272,543 own series B shares at a total amount of SEK 599m.

The share buybacks form part of the buyback program of a maximum of 8,000,000 series B shares, which AB Electrolux announced on April 29, 2022.

The buyback program that was initiated on May 2, 2022 has thereby been completed as 8,000,000 series B shares were repurchased for a total amount of SEK 1,138m during the period May 2, 2022 – September 2, 2022. All acquisitions have been carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm by Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG on behalf of AB Electrolux.

The buyback program was carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and

the Commission Delegated Regulation 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation").

The objective of the share buybacks is to optimize the company's capital structure and the intention is to reduce Electrolux number of shares through subsequent share cancellations. AB Electrolux holding of own shares as of September 30, 2022 amounts to 13,049,115 series B shares.

Given the current market environment, the Board does not intend to initiate additional share buybacks before the AGM 2023.

Asbestos litigation in the U.S.

Litigation and claims related to asbestos are pending against the Group in the U.S. Almost all of the cases refer to externally supplied components used in industrial products manufactured by discontinued operations prior to the early 1970s. The cases involve plaintiffs who have made substantially identical allegations against other defendants who are not part of the Electrolux Group.

As of September 30, 2022, the Group had a total of 3,371 (3,286) cases pending, representing approximately 3,378 (approximately 3,295) plaintiffs. During the third quarter of

Risks and uncertainty factors

Active risk management is essential for Electrolux to drive successful operations. The Group is impacted by various types of risks including strategic and external risks but also business risks such as operational and financial risks. Risk management in Electrolux aims to identify, control and reduce risks. Risks, risk management and risk exposure are described in more detail in the 2021 Annual Report:

www.electroluxgroup.com/annualreport2021

The global coronavirus pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine add uncertainty and impact Electrolux operations as well as supply and demand. These developments, and similar events, may lead to an economic downturn, affect access to markets and cause a change in consumer behavior impacting the Group's sales negatively. Constraints in the supply chain might affect Electrolux ability to produce, costs for production, energy, raw material and transportation as well as currency

2022, 273 new cases with 273 plaintiffs were filed and 264 pending cases with approximately 265 plaintiffs were resolved.

It is expected that additional lawsuits will be filed against Electrolux. It is not possible to predict the number of future lawsuits. In addition, the outcome of asbestos lawsuits is difficult to predict, and Electrolux cannot provide any assurances that the resolution of these types of lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on its business or on the results of operations in the future.

exchange rate fluctuations, which in turn might affect the Group's financial result and market shares negatively in case of a shortfall in delivery and quality related issues.

In September, Electrolux exited Russia and Belarus through the divestment of its Russian subsidiary. Procedures intended to avoid breach of sanctions and other restrictions imposed on Russia and Belarus are in place. Electrolux is closely monitoring the developments related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In Ukraine, after careful risk assessment limited sales and production in the factory, located in the western part of Ukraine, re-started during the second half of April. In 2021, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine represented approximately 2% of Group net sales. Ukraine accounts for less than 1% of Group total assets. For the Group, there are no key direct suppliers located in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine.

Sustainable consumer experience innovation

Innovation to improve the consumer experience in the Taste, Care & Wellbeing areas is a key driver for long-term profitable growth. Electrolux innovative product portfolio, with a strong sustainability focus, enables consumers to live better lives while often also saving energy, water and resources. The product portfolio as well as Electrolux well-established brands with a strong innovation heritage are competitive assets, enabling the company to also strengthen its position in emerging markets and within aftermarket.

Deep consumer insight is a competitive advantage in an age of greater consumer awareness. Consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability and research shows that 2/3 of global consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products1 . Electrolux most resource-efficient products have consistently had a higher margin for many years and in 2021 these products accounted for 19% of total units sold and 31% of gross profit.

Strengthening the built-in fridge freezer portfolio through sustainable innovations

Electrolux improves energy efficiency and increases consumer value in the built-in fridge freezer category. This is enabled by investments in product and process architecture at the Susegana plant, Italy.

Electrolux has a long history of continuously improving the energy efficiency of its appliances. With sustainability awareness becoming increasingly important for consumers, combined with the rising cost of energy, it's a vital component of sustainable innovation. Recent EU regulations regarding rescaled and stringent energy labels have further raised Electrolux ambitions to increase market penetration for energyefficient products and reduce CO2 impact.

Efficient and flexible manufacturing process

The Susegana production facility is Electrolux state-of-the-art factory and has 'zero waste to landfill' certification. Electrolux has invested in two new assembly lines which are over 40% automated, granting production flexibility, stability, and top quality as well as improved cost efficiency.

Innovative consumer experiences

The new fridge freezer range fulfils key consumer expectations such as improved energy efficiency, more storage capacity, and low noise level. A key focus area in designing the new products has been to further protect food quality, preserve vitamins, and reduce food waste. In addition, the products are easier to install than previous models. The new range has been very well received by consumers with an average Consumer Star rating of 4.8 as of August 2022.

With the user phase responsible for in general 85% of an appliance's CO2 footprint, the new range delivers up to 20% less CO2 emissions2 than the previous range. With the even more energy-efficient models to be launched in the coming years, up to 70% of CO2 emissions2 are expected to be reduced.

Electrolux is constantly looking at sustainability beyond official product energy requirements. Over 80% of the materials in the new fridges can be recycled3, making this range of cooling devices one of the most sustainable choices available. By forming key recycling partnerships, such as with Stena in Europe, Electrolux works collaboratively to unlock new possibilities for reducing material waste. The new Electrolux 700 Maxispace green zone is the first fridge to be made of 70% recycled plastic in the inner liner wall.

Events during the quarter Events after the quarter

September 2. Electrolux has decided to exit Russia

As previously communicated Electrolux paused its operations in Russia when the war in Ukraine commenced. In the third quarter, Electrolux exited Russia and divested the business to local management through a sale of its Russian subsidiary. A capital loss of SEK 350m was recorded as a non-recurring item affecting the operating income for Business Area Europe in the third quarter 2022.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the following sanctions have made it impossible for Electrolux to continue its business in the country. The decision to divest the Russian business to local management is intended to enable a responsible and controlled exit. The divested company will continue to service appliances previously sold by Electrolux in Russia. Electrolux has no production in Russia and will not supply any appliances to the divested company.

In 2021 Electrolux sales in Russia accounted for 4% of Business Area Europe sales and for 1.6% of Group sales.

September 12. Cost reduction program and management changes

Electrolux is initiating a cost reduction program on the back of weaker-than expected market demand and weak earnings in the third quarter. The cost measures, including a Group cost reduction program and a turnaround program in North America, are expected to result in a material positive earnings contribution in 2023. Ricardo Cons, currently Head of Business Area Latin America, has been appointed Head of Business Area North America, where additional turnaround measures will be initiated.

The share buyback program initiated on May 2, 2022, was completed on September 2. Given the current market environment, the Board does not intend to initiate additional share buybacks before the AGM 2023.

Completion of the transaction is contingent on various factors. The approximate gain of USD 65.8m (approx. SEK 740m) will be recorded as a non-recurring item, positively impacting the operating income in business area North America, in connection with closing of the transaction. Closing and the positive cash flow impact are expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2022.

The final operating income and cash flow effects will be determined by the exchange rate on the transaction day.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting principles

Electrolux 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 Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 'Accounting for legal entities' issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

Electrolux interim reports contain a condensed set of financial statements. For the Group this chiefly means that the disclosures are limited compared to the consolidated financial statements presented in the annual report. For the Parent Company this means that the financial statements in general are presented in condensed versions and with limited disclosures compared to the annual report.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's Annual Report 2021, except for the adoption of standard amendments effective as of January 1, 2022. The amendments have not had any material impact on the financial statements. See section 'New or amended accounting standards to be applied after 2021' in the Annual Report 2021 for more information.

Note 2 Disaggregation of revenue

Electrolux manufactures and sells appliances mainly in the wholesale market to customers being retailers. Electrolux products include refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, cookers, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners and small domestic appliances. Electrolux has four regional Consumer Products business areas with focus on the consumer market.

Sales of products are revenue 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 when control is transferred being over the time the service is provided. Sales of services are not material in relation to Electrolux total net sales.

Geography and product category are considered important attributes when disaggregating Electrolux revenue. The business areas, also being the Group's segments, are based on geography: Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. For business area information, see pages 6-8. In addition, the table below presents net sales by product area Taste (cooking, refrigeration and freezer appliances), Care (dish and laundry appliances) and Wellbeing (e.g. cleaning appliances and small domestic appliances). Products within all product areas are sold in each of the reportable segments, i.e. the Business Areas.

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 marked-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 at fair value according to the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. On September 30 the fair value for Level 1 financial assets was SEK 168m (162) and for financial liabilities SEK 0m (0).

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly. On September 30 the fair value of Level 2 financial assets was SEK 582m (230) and financial liabilities SEK 454m (115).

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not entirely based on observable market data. On September 30 the fair value of Level 3 financial assets was SEK 266m (68) and financial liabilities SEK 0m (0).

Through the acquisition Electrolux has strengthened its service network in France. CSAV is headquartered in Lisses, south of Paris, and employs around 200 people. Net sales in 2020 amounted to around EUR 25m. The operations are included in business area Europe.

On December 7, 2021, Electrolux acquired 50% of the shares in the Swedish company Gångaren Holding AB. Before the acquisition, Electrolux held 50% of the shares in the company. The acquired company was accounted for as a fully owned subsidiary as from the acquisition date. Gångaren Holding is the owner of Electrolux corporate head office in Stockholm. The purchase price for the additional 50% amounts to SEK 990m and as the acquisition mainly comprises property, it was classified as an asset acquisition, which means that it is included in the group accounts at accumulated cost.
