Q32024

- Net sales amounted to SEK 33,286m (33,427). Organic sales increased by 6.2% driven by strong growth in Latin America and higher sales in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, supported by the innovative and attractive product offering.
- Operating income amounted to SEK 349m (608), corresponding to a margin of 1.0% (1.8). Operating income included a previously announced non-recurring item of SEK -368m (294) related to the divestment of the water heater business in South Africa. Excluding non-recurring items, operating income amounted to SEK 717m (314), corresponding to a margin of 2.2% (0.9).
- In Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, operating margin excluding non-recurring items improved to 4.2% (3.0).
- In North America, the gradual operating loss reduction continued to SEK -249m (-440) and in Latin America operating income increased to SEK 490m (405).
- Cost efficiency contributed approximately SEK 1.2bn to earnings.
- Income for the period amounted to SEK -235m (123) and earnings per share were SEK -0.87 (0.46).
- Operating cash flow after investments was SEK 1,053m (1,147).
- During the preparations to divest non-core assets, it has been assessed that the value of the Zanussi brand will be better monetized as part of the Group's licensing business. The total potential divestment value of non-core assets is thereby currently expected to be below the previously communicated SEK 10bn.

President and CEO Jonas Samuelson's comment
After 16 years with Electrolux Group and nearly 9 years serving as CEO, effective January 1, 2025, I will hand over the role of CEO to Yannick Fierling. I wish him all the best in leading this great company. Looking at the third quarter, while market conditions remained challenging in Europe and North America, we continued to make progress on our cost initiatives. Operating income excluding non-recurring items improved to SEK 717m in the quarter with an operating cashflow of SEK 1.1 bn and a strong liquidity position.
Gradual improvements in challenging markets
Earnings in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa improved despite continued subdued consumer spending in Europe. Excluding non-recurring items, operating margin in the business area reached 4.2% (3.0%), helped by our efforts to reduce cost and by a continued positive mix. Our new products are well received, and in the quarter a new premium kitchen range from AEG was launched. Latin America delivered another good quarter with the improvement in operating income driven by volume growth and cost efficiency. In North America, the operating loss continued to narrow. We are making progress in our work to improve productivity and reduce cost, but market conditions remain challenging. Productivity in our new cooking plant in Springfield is gradually improving as planned.
Regional variations in market demand
The market in Europe continued to be predominantly replacement driven and was relatively stable, with high promotional intensity. Interest rates have started to come down but housing construction and kitchen remodeling, impacting the built-in kitchen market in Europe, remained at very subdued levels. The markets in Latin America grew in the quarter, driven by Brazil where growth rates started to accelerate in the fourth quarter 2023. Demand in North America has been stable year to date, supported by the aggressive pricing environment, despite weak housing markets.
Price was negative during the first nine months of 2024, with price pressure in North America reflecting the lower price levels established in late 2023, and high promotional activity in most other markets. However, the promotional intensity in North America has stabilized sequentially throughout the year. As previously communicated, we expect price to be negative for full year 2024, also impacting the fourth quarter negatively.
Good execution on our cost-reduction efforts
We continue to execute well on the cost-reduction activities, and our efforts are yielding increasing benefits across all business areas. Earnings contribution from cost efficiency in the third quarter reached SEK 1.2bn, and the target of around SEK4bn in cost savings for full year 2024 remains.
Headwinds from currencies have increased during the course of 2024 and coupled with a reduction in raw material costs during the fourth quarter 2023 comparison period, we expect External factors to be negative in the fourth quarter 2024. For full year 2024, we have revised the outlook for External factors' impact on operating income from positive to neutral.
Update on divestments of non-core assets
Our strategic divestment initiatives of non-core assets are progressing at different speeds, with the pace being adapted to the geopolitical situation and market environment. We have during the preparation phase assessed that the value of the Zanussi brand will be better monetized as part of the Group's
licensing business, and is therefore presently not being divested. The total potential divestment value is consequently currently expected to be below the previously communicated SEK 10bn. Closing of the divestment of the water heater business in South Africa is anticipated during the fourth quarter 2024.
Launch of new resource-efficient products
In September, our premium brand AEG launched a new, resource-efficient, kitchen range in Europe offering several enhanced consumer benefits, including AI-assisted cooking. This new cutting-edge feature helps users make the most of their oven when trying new online recipes by automatically analyzing the recipe and choosing the optimal cooking settings for the best result. The new kitchen range from AEG further strengthens our position in premium built-in appliance categories, enabling us to continue driving a positive mix.
Reflecting on nearly a decade as CEO
I am proud of the work the entire team has done to fundamentally transform the company, especially while navigating the challenging market conditions in recent years. Electrolux Group has sharpened the strategic focus, among other by distributing Electrolux Professional to our shareholders, and streamlining the organization. We have successfully delivered sustainable, consumer experience driven innovation, leveraging our focus on our three main brands, Electrolux, AEG and Frigidaire, leading to industryleading consumer star ratings, and continuous sales mix improvements. Our focus on consumer lifetime experiences has increased, and the aftermarket revenue share been raised. We have executed on the significant re-engineering investment program, focused on increased modularization, automation and resource efficiency. The new modularized product architectures enable us to significantly leverage our global scale with shorter, and more cost-efficient, time to market of new products, features and digital solutions. These initiatives have enabled cumulative expected cost reductions over 2023-24 of close to SEK 9bn.

Once consumer demand in our main markets recovers, we are well situated to fully benefit from our position in selected mid- and premium categories with our competitive product and service offering. Our key priorities are to continue to execute on, and further accelerate, our ambitious product cost-reduction efforts and consumer-focused innovation, leveraging our more simplified organization, to continue restoring margins and return to profitable growth.

Net sales
Sales increased by 6.2% in the quarter, excluding currency translation effects. Organic sales increased by 6.2%, mainly driven by higher volumes in all the Group's business areas. Organic growth was strong in Latin America, where consumer demand increased in Brazil. In Europe, market demand declined slightly, with continued weakness in the important built-in kitchen category. Despite challenging market conditions, mix was favorable, supported by the attractive product offering and the business area's focus on growth in higher-value categories. Price was negative, partly as a consequence of weak consumer demand in Europe and the gradual resolution of global supply chain constraints during 2023. In the U.S., price pressure was particularly evident in refrigeration, which is a key category for business area North America. Promotional activity increased year-over-year although continued to stabilize sequentially. Aftermarket sales decreased slightly year-over-year.
Operating income
Operating income amounted to SEK 349m (608), corresponding to a margin of 1.0% (1.8). Operating income included a previously announced negative non-recurring item of SEK -368m referring to the divestment of the water heater business in South Africa, see pages 13 and 20. Excluding nonrecurring items operating income amounted to SEK 717m (314), corresponding to a margin of 2.2% (0.9). Operating income improved in business area Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa to SEK 610m (434). In business area Latin America operating margin increased to 6.5% (5.6). The gradual improvement in North America continued with a reduction in operating loss to SEK -249m (-440). Cost reduction activities contributed to a positive earnings effect from Cost efficiency of approximately SEK 1.2 bn year-over-year, although negatively impacted by higher logistic costs. The negative effect on earnings from lower price year-over-year was partly offset by higher volumes. Investments increased in Innovation and marketing to support the Group's strong product range. Lower raw material costs partly offset negative currency effects and labor cost inflation.
Financial net
Net financial items amounted to SEK -467m (-533). The change was mainly a result of lower interest rates and positive currency effects.
Income for the period
Income for the period amounted to SEK -235m (123), corresponding to SEK -0.87 (0.46) in earnings per share.

First nine months of 2024
Sales growth was 2.9% in the first nine months, excluding currency translation effects. Organic sales grew by 2.9%. Volumes increased, and despite challenging conditions in the main markets, mix was favorable supported by the attractive product offering. Price was negative due to lower market price levels and increased promotions.
Operating income amounted to SEK 49m (227), corresponding to a margin of 0.0% (0.2). The first nine months included a previously announced non-recurring item of SEK -368m (-910), see pages 13 and 20. Excluding non-recurring items, operating income amounted to SEK 417m (1,138) corresponding to a margin of 0.4% (1.2). The decline in earnings was primarily due to negative price. Cost reduction measures contributed to a positive effect of approximately SEK 2bn from cost efficiency. Investments in innovation and marketing increased. The impact from external factors was positive.
Income for the period amounted to SEK -1,544m (-1,114), corresponding to SEK -5.72 (-4.13) in earnings per share.
Market overview
In the third quarter, overall market demand in Europe decreased slightly year-over-year, driven by Western Europe. Demand was particularly weak within the built-in kitchen category as a result of low residential construction and remodeling activity. In the U.S, overall market demand in the third quarter increased year-over-year. In the first nine months of the year, market demand was flat in terms of units, with demand remaining resilient but with consumers shifting to lower price points.

Business areas
Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa
- Continued weak market in Europe driven by built-in kitchen categories
- Market outperformance driven by premium brands and higher-value product categories
- Significant improvement in operating income excluding non-recurring items
Market demand in Europe declined slightly in the quarter and was down -1% year-over-year with a decline of -1% in Western Europe and an increase of 1% in Eastern Europe. Compared to the third quarter of 2019, demand in Europe decreased by -13%, a similar decline as seen in recent quarters compared to 2019. In Asia-Pacific, consumer demand is estimated to have increased year-over-year. In Europe, consumer confidence has improved slightly, but remained below its long-time average, still negatively impacted by the cumulative effects of inflationary pressure, high interest rates, and geopolitical tensions. Subdued purchasing power continued to result in consumers shifting to lower price points and postponing purchases in discretionary categories. Weak residential construction and remodeling activity continued to have a significant negative impact on demand within the European built-in kitchen category. Promotional activity increased yearover-year across the region, as a high share of volume is replacement driven.
The business area reported an organic sales increase of 2.9%. Despite challenging market conditions, volume increased and mix improved, mainly through the clear focus on premium brands and higher-value product categories. The subdued market demand continued to negatively affect especially builtin kitchen products, a key segment to the business area. Together with predominantly replacement driven demand, this contributed to increased promotions and negative price yearover-year.
Operating income included a negative non-recurring item of SEK -368m, related to the divestment of the water heater business in South Africa, see pages 13 and 20. Operating income excluding non-recurring items increased significantly year-over-year to SEK 610m. Volume growth and favorable mix, supported by the attractive product offering, partly offset the effect from negative price. The impact from cost efficiency was positive and lower raw material and energy costs more than offset labor cost inflation.

North America
- Market demand unchanged year to date
- Higher volumes partly offset negative price
- Operating loss reduced
Market demand for core appliances in the U.S. was flat in terms of units for the first nine months of the year, a relatively stable development overall but with variations between quarters. In the third quarter market demand increased by 5%. Sequentially, market price levels were largely unchanged at the lower levels established in the latter part of 2023. The lower market price levels have been enabled by input cost discrepancies between North America and certain parts of Asia, particularly in refrigeration. The cumulative effects of high inflationary pressure and high interest rates continued to negatively impact consumer sentiment, with demand remaining resilient but with consumers shifting to lower price points.
The business area reported an organic sales decline of 0.3% with a negative impact from price due to lower market price levels and increased promotions year-over-year. Slightly higher volumes contributed positively to sales, supported by the attractive product offering and the focus on growth in high-value categories. With industry leading consumer star ratings, all key categories contributed to an overall rating of 4.6 on a five-point scale.
The business area reported an operating loss of SEK -249m, an improvement year-over-year as well as sequentially. The loss was primarily due to price pressure year-over-year, particularly in refrigeration, which is a key category for the business area. Reduced aftermarket product availability due to hurricane related disruptions had a negative mix effect on earnings late in the quarter. Investments in marketing increased to support recent launches of the strong product offering. Cost savings impacted earnings positively although benefits from cost efficiency were somewhat limited by headwinds from logistics costs. While the ramp-up of the new cooking factory in Springfield resulted in some production inefficiencies, productivity is gradually improving. Production output and efficiency is expected to be normalized by the end of 2024. Lower raw material cost partly offset the negative effect from labor cost inflation.

Latin America
- High consumer demand in Brazil
- Strong organic growth driven mainly by Brazil
- Significant increase in operating income despite currency headwinds
During the quarter consumer demand for core appliances is estimated to have increased in the region, driven by Brazil where growth rates started to accelerate in the fourth quarter 2023. Higher consumer confidence and better economic conditions continued to support growth in demand and warm weather benefited particularly refrigeration and air care products. In Argentina, consumer demand started to recover compared to previous quarters with an estimated slight increase in the third quarter, however still a decline year to date. In Chile consumer demand increased.
The business area reported an organic sales increase of 25.8%, mainly driven by higher volumes in Brazil. Price was positive year-over-year and mainly driven by price increases in Argentina. Mix was essentially flat. Aftermarket sales continued to develop strongly.
Operating income significantly increased year-over-year, mainly driven by the high organic sales growth. Cost efficiency contributed positively to earnings. Currency effects had a negative impact on earnings, with a material adverse impact from the weakening of the Brazilian Real, partly mitigated by lower raw material cost. Investments increased in brand building activities and consumer direct capabilities.

Cash flow
Operating cash flow after investments amounted to SEK 1,053m (1,147) in the quarter. The year-over-year comparison reflects an improvement in cash flow generated by the operating income as operating cash flow in the third quarter 2023 included a positive impact of SEK 0.5bn from the divestment of the manufacturing facility in Nyíregyháza, Hungary. The seasonal pattern for working capital continued to normalize in the quarter.
Operating cash flow after investments in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to SEK -406m (-808).

Other items
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, 2024, the Group had a total of 3,878 (3,510) cases pending, representing approximately 3,888 (approximately 3,515) plaintiffs. During the third quarter of 2024, 332 new cases with 335 plaintiffs were filed and
159 pending cases with approximately 159 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.
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 2023 Annual Report: www.electroluxgroup.com/annualreport2023

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 Group's innovative product portfolio, with a strong sustainability focus, enables consumers to live better lives while often also saving energy, water and other resources. The product portfolio as well as Electrolux Group's 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; research shows that nearly 75% of consumers globally think it is more important than before the pandemic for companies to behave more sustainably1 and nearly 60% of affluent Americans are willing to pay more for products that are environmentally friendly2 . Electrolux Group's most resource-efficient products have consistently had a higher margin for many years and in 2023 these products accounted for 29% of total units sold and 38% of gross profit.
Electrolux Group further strengthens position in premium segment with new AEG kitchen range
With its newly launched kitchen range from premium brand AEG, Electrolux Group is further strengthening its offering in the higher value built-in categories. Responding to growing demand for high-quality, personalized and sustainable solutions, the new range offers enhanced consumer benefits including AI-assisted cooking, energy saving product features and award-winning design.
Sustainable consumer experience innovation is central to Electrolux Group's profitable growth strategy. With a clear focus on strengthening its position in selected mid- and premium home appliances categories, the Group has been able to consistently drive mix improvements contributing to operating income.
The important mix contribution is enabled by the Group's attractive product offering and modularized, global product architectures. By leveraging its global scale through this modular approach, Electrolux Group can efficiently, at speed deliver product innovations with enhanced consumer benefits that meet the ever-evolving preferences of each of its brand's distinctive target consumers.
Increasing consumer value with AI-assisted cooking Built on deep consumer insight, the new AEG kitchen range has solutions in every product category: ovens, hobs, hoods, refrigeration and dishwashers. Designed for consumers who want to take their cooking skills further, it offers smart technology such as AI TasteAssist, a new cutting-edge function developed to help consumers make the most of their oven when trying new recipes. Research shows that 80% of consumers search online for recipes3. By sending the recipe to the oven, the feature analyzes it and automatically selects the optimal cooking settings for the dish, for example by adding steam, which retains flavors and nutrients.
Electrolux Group focuses on providing energy-efficient products that intuitively help consumers reduce resource consumption. Since the main part of an appliance's climate footprint happens during its use, this approach is key to the

Group's efforts in combating climate change. On average, the models of new AEG kitchen range can help reduce carbon footprint by up to 30%3 with energy-saving features such as a residual heat function for the oven. The Group' most energy efficient products typically also have a higher profit margin.
How products look and feel are a big part of the experience. With its modern, sleek design and attention to detail, the new range is instantly recognizable yet timeless to fit seamlessly in consumers' kitchens. The SaphirMatt induction hob for example, has been awarded for groundbreaking design with its innovative scratch-resistant matt glass. Since its launch last year, SaphirMatt has received a very high consumer star rating of 4.9 on five-point scale. Thanks to Electrolux Group's modular product architectures, new variants of the hob have been quickly introduced and included in the new range. Roll-out of the new AEG kitchen range starts in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Events during the quarter
July 18. Electrolux Group divests South African water heater business
Electrolux Group has signed an agreement to divest its water heater business in South Africa under the Kwikot brand for an enterprise value of ZAR 2.4bn (approx. SEK 1.4bn) to Haier Smart Home.
The divestment includes the Kwikot brand and the production facilities for water heaters (geysers) located in Johannesburg, and is part of the previously communicated work to sharpen the Group's strategic focus by divesting non-core assets.
The sale is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2024 and is subject to regulatory approvals.
A negative earnings impact of approximately SEK 0.6bn from the divestment will be recorded as a non-recurring item, impacting business area Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa during the second half of 2024. This includes a significant negative currency effect from the ZAR depreciation, which does not affect equity.
The water heater business in South Africa is profitable and the Kwikot brand is well-known in the market. Net sales in 2023 related to this business amounted to approximately ZAR 1.9bn (approx. SEK 1.1bn).

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 2023, except for the adoption of standard amendments effective as of January 1, 2024. The amendments have not had any material impact on the financial statements. See section 'New or amended accounting standards to be applied after 2023 in the Annual Report 2023 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, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, cookers, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners and small domestic appliances. Electrolux has three regional 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 three business areas, also being the Group's segments, are based on geography: Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa; North America and Latin America. 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., air conditioners, cleaning appliances and small domestic appliances). Products within all product areas are sold in each of the reportable segments, i.e., the business areas, as presented in the graph below.

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 165m (167) 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 263m (287) and financial liabilities SEK 431m (547).
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 261m (264) and financial liabilities SEK 0m (0).

Note 5 Acquisitions and divestments
Acquisitions and divestments
There were no acquisitions or divestments completed in in the first nine months of 2024. There were no acquisitions or divestments completed in 2023.
Agreement to divest the South African water heater business
Electrolux Group announced on July 18, 2024, that an agreement had been signed to divest the water heater business (Kwikot brand) in South Africa. The divestment is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2024. The business covered by the divestment agreement is considered as held for sale, therefore measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell as per September 30, 2024. This has resulted in an impairment of goodwill of SEK -368m, reported in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The negative earnings impact from the divestment is treated as a non-recurring item for business area Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Once the transaction is completed, there is an additional negative earnings effect from the reclassification of accumulated negative currency effect in equity (SEK -167m as per September 30). The reclassification does not affect total equity.
Despite the South African water heater business being considered as assets held for sale, the related items in the group's financial statements have not been reported separately as they are not deemed as material. As per September 30, total assets related to Electrolux business in South Africa represent less than 1.5% of the group's total assets. Net sales in 2023 related to the water heater business amounted to approximately ZAR 1.9bn (approx. SEK 1.1bn).

Definitions and reconciliations of alternative performance measures
This report includes financial measures as required by the financial reporting framework applicable to Electrolux Group, which is based on IFRS. In addition, Electrolux 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 to 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.electroluxgroup.com/ir/definitions
Computation of average amounts and annualized income statement measures
In computation of key ratios where averages of capital balances are related to income statement measures, the average capital balances are based on the opening balance and all quarter-end closing balances included in the reporting period, and the income statement measures are annualized, translated at average rates for the period. In computation of key ratios where end-of-period capital balances are related to income statement measures, the latter are annualized, translated at end of-period exchange rates. Adjustments are made for acquired and divested operations.
