Growth in the professional segment and improved profitability

"This quarter marks my first as CEO of Husqvarna Group, and I am honored to be leading this company with more than 300 years of innovation, into the future. We are entering an exciting new chapter with the upcoming launch of our 2030 strategy, focused on strengthening our competitiveness, improving cost efficiency, and leveraging our unique differentiators to generate value for our customers.

Mixed market and topline development

The Group's organic sales growth was flat in the quarter. We noted strong growth in the professional segment, including robotic mowers, driven mainly by new innovative products featuring boundary wire-free technology, handheld products, and power cutters. With the professional segment being a top strategic priority, I am pleased to see this positive development. We also noted growth in the watering segment. However, demand was subdued for residential handheld, hand tools and petrol-powered wheeled products, in particular in North America, which reflects a challenging market situation with restrained consumer spending. Sales in the residential robotic mower segment decreased slightly due to lower sales in Gardena. Organic sales grew by 1% in Husqvarna Forest & Garden Division and by 3% in Husqvarna Construction Division, but decreased by 7% in Gardena Division.

Improved earnings and reduced net debt

Operating income, excluding items affecting comparability (IAC), increased to SEK 140m (53), and the margin was 1.5% (0.5). The increase was primarily driven by a favorable product mix and cost-savings, which offset headwinds from trade tariffs and currency fluctuations. Margin improved in both the Husqvarna Forest & Garden and Husqvarna Construction divisions, while it declined in the Gardena Division, mainly due to lower volumes. Uncertainty remains, particularly in North America, given the ongoing trade policy turbulence, foreign exchange volatility, and subdued consumer sentiment.

Direct operating cash flow amounted to SEK 3.5bn (4.0) in the quarter. We continued to strengthen our financial position, reducing net debt to SEK 9.9bn (12.8). The net debt/EBITDA ratio, excluding IAC, improved to 2.2 (2.4).

Cost-efficiency measures

The activities included in the cost savings program announced in Q3 last year are expected to be completed by the end of the year, and full effect from the program will be reached during 2026. In addition, we have today announced the closure of a facility in Brastad, Sweden, which manufactures components for petrol-powered handheld products. By shifting to externally sourced components for this segment, we are accelerating our transition toward a more assetlight business model.

Advancing our innovation agenda

Despite the cautious consumer sentiment, I am confident in our position for long-term value creation. We will continue to build on our key differentiators, including our trusted brands and premium market positions, while increasing competitiveness through operational excellence and accelerated innovation.

We have several innovative product launches for 2026, including AI vision-based robotic mowers, designed to maximize customer value while supporting our longterm sustainability agenda. You will be able to explore these and more on our Capital Markets Day in Stockholm on December 10, 2025, where we will also be sharing our new strategic roadmap. I am looking forward to meeting you there."

Additional information

Sustainovate 2025

Sustainovate 2025 is designed to maximize the Group's contribution to tackle climate change and resource scarcity. The five-year framework covers three opportunities and associated targets to 2025.

2025 targets and status

  • Reduce absolute CO2 emissions across the value chain by 35%, current result is 55%.
  • Launch 50 circular innovations, the number of approved innovations is currently 45.
  • Empower 5 million people to make sustainable choices, the current result is 5.5 million.

Carbon – drive the transition to low-carbon solutions

As of the third quarter of 2025, the Group maintained the same level of CO2 emissions reduction as in the second quarter. The 2025 target has already been achieved and exceeded by a great margin.

Circular – rethink and redesign for a resource-smart customer experience

The circular innovations will make smarter use of materials and will extend product lifecycles. The target addresses resource impact across the value chain, from suppliers and operations to product use and endof-life.

Four new circular innovations were approved in the third quarter.

People – inspire actions that make a lasting difference

The Group continued its communication campaigns in the third quarter, driving the sale of an additional 0.3 million products classified as Sustainable Choices. As the 2025 target had already been achieved in the second quarter, this progress provides additional margin to the target.

Parent Company

Net sales for January – September 2025 for the Parent Company, Husqvarna AB, amounted to SEK 19,244m (17,597), of which SEK 14,707m (13,383) referred to sales to Group companies and SEK 4,537m (4,214) to external customers. Income after financial items amounts to 3,392m (943). Income for the period amounts to SEK 2,858m (839). Investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to SEK 966m (1,048). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 2,038m (1,584) at the end of the quarter. Undistributed earnings in the Parent Company amounted to SEK 26,879m (29,088).

Significant events

  • On July 17, the Board of Directors appointed Glen Instone as the new CEO of Husqvarna Group, effective August 11, 2025.
  • On September 8, Husqvarna Group appointed Omar Attar as the interim President of the Husqvarna Forest & Garden Division, effective immediately. During his interim role Omar will be part of the Group Management team.

Significant event after the quarter

Costs related to the closure are estimated to approximately SEK 140 million, whereof approximately SEK 20 million to be recognized as a non-recurring item (IAC) in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the rest in 2026.

Risks and uncertainty factors

A number of factors may affect Husqvarna Group's operations in terms of operational and financial risks. Geopolitical uncertainties and war may have a significant impact on Husqvarna Group's operations, both in terms of difficulties of supply of raw materials and components as well as difficulties to purchase transportation and logistics services and related cost increases. It may also affect the demand for Husqvarna Group's products and solutions.

Operational risks include general economic conditions, the impact of trade tariffs, as well as trends in consumer and professional spending, particularly in North America and Europe, where the majority of the Group's products are sold. An economic downturn in these markets may have an adverse effect on Group sales and earnings. Shifts in product technology as well as shifts in distribution structure and sales channels could also have a negative impact, as will fluctuations in prices of sourced raw materials and components. Short term, demand for the Group's products is impacted by weather conditions. The Group's production processes and supply chain are therefore adapted to respond to changes in weather conditions.

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to legal risks such as commercial, product liability and other disputes.

Financial risks refer primarily to currency exchange rates, interest rates, financing, tax and credit risks.

Risk management within Husqvarna Group is regulated by a financial policy established by the Board of Directors. For further information on risks and uncertainty factors, see the Annual Report 2024 which is available at www.husqvarnagroup.com.

Accounting Principles

Fair value of financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments carried at fair value are derivatives. Derivatives belong to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Future cash flows have been discounted using current quoted market interest rates and exchange rates for similar instruments. Further information about the accounting principles for financial instruments and methods used for estimating the fair value of the financial instruments are described in note 1 and note 20, respectively, in the Annual Report 2024. The carrying value approximates fair value for all financial instruments.
