President and CEO Yannick Fierling's comment

Solid organic sales growth and improved operating income

Organic sales growth was solid in the quarter, 7.9%, mainly driven by a positive development in North America and Latin America. Our operating margin improved to 1.4%, up from -2.3% last year. We have successfully executed our product cost-out initiatives, from which, savings was the major contributor to the SEK 1.4bn in cost efficiency for the quarter.

Rapidly-changing market environment

The market environment was characterized by increased uncertainty as the quarter progressed. In North America and Europe, market demand was largely unchanged. However, consumer confidence declined throughout the quarter due to economic uncertainty and concerns around U.S. trade policy developments. In Latin America, consumer demand increased marginally, primarily driven by Brazil, in a market characterized by rising competitive pressure.

Effects from changes in U.S. trade policies had a minor impact in the first quarter. It is impressive how our entire organization is acting with speed and agility to mitigate and adapt to the rapidly-changing market environment. We will continue to closely monitor this to ensure that we take appropriate actions going forward, including price changes.

Outlook for 2025 impacted by increased uncertainty

Going into the second quarter of 2025, the demand outlook for home appliances is increasingly uncertain. On the back of this, we have adjusted our market outlook for North America for the full year 2025 compared to 2024 from "Neutral" to "Neutral to negative". The outlook for market demand for Europe & Asia-Pacific as well as Latin American remains "Neutral". We have also adjusted our business outlook due to changes in U.S. trade policies. We now expect a positive impact from volume/price/mix primarily as a result of our price increases aimed at offsetting tariff related cost inflation reflected in the change in external factors from "Negative" to "Significantly negative".

Profitable growth - a key strategic pillar going forward

One of our major strategic pillars is to drive profitable growth. To ensure this, we continued to invest in innovation and marketing in the quarter. Our improved market position demonstrates our ability to create sustainable consumer experiences and continuously improve our offering. With good progress on cost reductions in the first quarter we are well on track to reach SEK 3.5-4bn in savings for the full year 2025. It is also crucial to continue to improve the results in North America while simultaneously navigating the current uncertain market environment.

Net sales

The organic sales growth in the first quarter was driven by higher volumes, mainly in North America and Latin America, as well as a favorable product mix through a clear focus on premium brands and higher-value products. In North America the organic sales increase was mainly driven by higher volumes, compared to a weak first quarter 2024. Growth in North America was supported by good momentum from new products, such as premium laundry, refrigeration and cooking. In Europe, demand was predominantly replacement driven. Organic sales growth was strong in Latin America, mainly driven by Brazil. Price development in Latin America was positive year-over-year, supported by price increases to compensate for currency driven cost inflation.

Operating income

Operating income improved mainly driven by cost reduction activities with a positive effect from cost efficiency of SEK 1.4bn year-over-year. Higher sales volumes and a favorable mix contributed positively to earnings, while price development had a slight negative impact. External factors had a negative effect on operating income, driven mainly by significant currency headwinds in business area Latin America as well as labor cost inflation in all business areas. Investments in innovation and marketing increased to support the Group's strong product range.

Financial net

Net financial items amounted to SEK -382m (-560). The main reason for the difference year-over-year is that last year included a negative effect from a devaluation of the Egyptian pound.

Income for the period

Income for the period amounted to SEK 42m (-1,230), corresponding to SEK 0.16 (-4.55) in earnings per share.

Market overview

In the first quarter, overall market demand in Europe and North America was largely unchanged year-over-year. Increased economic uncertainty weighed on consumer confidence. Consumers shifted to lower price points and consumer sentiment was negatively impacted by U.S. trade policy developments.

Business areas

Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa

  • Electrolux Group outperformed the market in Europe
  • Improved operating income and margin
  • Good execution on cost reduction measures

During the quarter, market demand in Europe was largely unchanged year-over-year with Western Europe unchanged and a slight decrease in Eastern Europe. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, demand in Europe was 12% lower. In Asia-Pacific, consumer demand is estimated to have been stable year-over-year. In Europe consumer confidence remained below its long-term average with sentiment negatively affected by geopolitical uncertainty. Subdued purchasing power continued to result in consumers shifting to lower price points and postponing purchases in discretionary categories. Demand for built-in kitchen products in Europe remained subdued. Promotional activity increased year-over-year across the region, as a high share of volume is replacement driven.

Slightly positive organic sales growth

The business area reported slightly positive organic sales growth. Volume increased and mix was positive, mainly through the clear focus on higher-value product categories. As the recently launched, well-received AEG kitchen products are being rolled out in Europe, this new range continues to receive increased marketing support. Predominantly replacement driven demand contributed to increased promotions and negative price development year-over-year.

Improved operating income and margin

Cost reduction activities contributed to a positive earnings effect from cost efficiency. Higher volumes and a favorable mix partly offset the effect from negative price. Positive currency effects and lower raw material costs more than offset labor cost inflation. Investments increased in innovation and marketing to support the strong brands and product portfolio.

North America

  • Electrolux Group outperformed the market
  • Organic sales growth driven by higher volumes and mix
  • Significantly reduced operating loss

During the quarter, market demand for core appliances in terms of units was largely unchanged year-over-year. While consumer demand remained resilient, consumers continued to prefer lower price points. Consumer confidence declined throughout the quarter due to economic uncertainty, and concerns around U.S. trade policy developments weighed on consumer sentiment.

Mix improved with growth in higher value categories

The business area reported an organic sales growth mainly driven by higher volumes, and compared to a significant volume decline and price pressure in the first quarter 2024. Outperforming the market, growth was supported by good momentum from new products, such as premium laundry, refrigeration and cooking. Mix was favorable enabled by the continued focus on growth in high-value categories. Price was largely unchanged.

Increased efficiency and cost reductions

The business area reported an operating loss in the seasonally weak first quarter but achieved a significant year-over-year earnings improvement driven mainly by product cost savings and improved efficiency. Higher organic sales contributed positively to earnings, supported by increased investment in innovation and marketing. Currency headwinds and labor cost inflation negatively impacted earnings.

Latin America

  • Slowing consumer demand growth in Brazil
  • Strong organic sales growth contributed to earnings increase
  • Operating margin stable despite significant currency headwinds

During the first quarter, consumer demand in the region is estimated to have increased slightly. Compared to previous quarters, the growth rate was lower due to inflationary pressure and economic uncertainty, mainly in Brazil. The first quarter in 2024 was characterized with extraordinarily warm weather that benefited growth. Argentina continued to face inflationary pressure, however demand improved on the back of a weak first quarter 2024 following the devaluation of the Argentinian peso. In general the competitive pressure continued to increase in the region.

Strong organic sales growth and improved product mix

The business area reported a strong organic sales growth, mainly driven by higher volumes in Brazil and Argentina. In Argentina, growth was driven by improved market conditions and consumer spending. Product mix improved with growth in categories such as multi-door refrigerators outperforming the market in Brazil. Price development in the region was positive year-over-year. Price increases were implemented together with efficiency measures to compensate for currency driven cost inflation. Aftermarket sales developed positively.

Operating margin 6.2% despite significant currency headwinds

The positive earnings contribution from the organic sales growth more than offset negative currency effects, with a significant adverse impact from the weakening of the Brazilian Real. Cost efficiency had a positive effect on earnings. Investments increased in sales support for brand building activities and direct to consumer capabilities.

Cash flow

  • Seasonal negative development of working capital in the first quarter
  • Increased contribution from operating income
  • Slightly lower investments

Operating cash flow after investments

The first quarter is characterized by a seasonal outflow of working capital. The operating cash flow after investments was slightly lower in the first quarter 2025, compared to the first quarter 2024. While operating income increased and the level of investments were lower in the first quarter 2025, this was more than offset by a negative change in operating assets and liabilities.

Working capital

Working capital as of March 31, 2025, amounted to SEK -12,495m (-15,502), corresponding to -10.1% (-12.3) of annualized net sales.

Operating working capital amounted to SEK 5,672m (6,606), corresponding to 4.6% (5.2) of annualized net sales, see page 20.

Total liquidity, including the revolving credit facilities, amounted to SEK 29,512m compared to SEK 34,079m as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in total liquidity was mainly driven by negative development in both operating working capital and other working capital.

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 Corporate 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 2024, except for the adoption of standard amendments effective as of January 1, 2025. These changes have not had any material impact on the financial statements. See section 'New or amended accounting standards to be applied after 2024' in the Annual Report 2024 for more information on the standard amendments.

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 5-7. 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.

Electrolux 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 March 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2025 the fair value of Level 2 financial assets was SEK 143m (333) and financial liabilities SEK 411m (342).

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not entirely based on observable market data. On March 31, 2025 the fair value of Level 3 financial assets was SEK 69m (263) and financial liabilities SEK 0m (0).

Note 5 Acquisitions and divestments

Acquisitions and divestments

There were no acquisitions or divestments completed during the first quarter of 2025. The divestment of the water heater business in South Africa was completed in December 2024.

Divestment of 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 was completed on December 2, 2024, following regulatory approvals.

Net sales in 2023 related to the water heater business amounted to approximately ZAR 1.9bn (approx. SEK 1.1bn).

Divested total assets amount to SEK 1.9bn, divested net assets amount to SEK 1.1bn. Proceeds received amounted to SEK 1.1bn and the net cash flow effect from the divestment amounts to approximately SEK 1.0bn. The divestment had a total impact on the full-year 2024 result of SEK -566m, including an impairment of goodwill of SEK -368m which was affecting the result in the third quarter 2024. The negative earnings effect of SEK -198m in the fourth quarter includes SEK -132m from the reclassification of accumulated negative currency effect in equity. The reclassification does not affect total equity.

The divestment effect is treated as a non-recurring item for business area Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa.

Definitions and reconciliations of alternative performance measures

_____________________________________________________________________

This report includes financial measures as required by the financial reporting framework applicable to Electrolux, which is based on IFRS. In addition, Electrolux 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
