ANNUAL REPORT 2018 HUSQVARNA GROUP · 5 INTRODUCTION MARKETS STRATEGY THE DIVISIONS SUSTAINOVATE BOARD REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OTHER INFO CEO Statement Important strategic transformation in a challenging year The dissolvement of the Consumer Brands Division was an important strategic step. It creates conditions for us to focus all resources on our strengths in premium offerings under the core brands Husqvarna and Gardena. Operationally during the year, we remained firmly committed to our overall ambition to deliver long-term profitable growth. We continued to invest, strengthening our resources in high growth segments such as robotic lawn mowers and battery-powered products. However, financially, 2018 saw a temporary setback from the recent years’ improvement trajectory. I sincerely believe that the new and less complex right-size manufacturing capacity, as well as indirect organization, built on our strengths and with less prod- and central resources to better reflect the leaner and uct overlap, fewer brands and larger divisional auto- simplified Group structure with more autonomous nomy, will release energy that instead can be used to divisions.

Net Sales are now estimated to be SEK 13,500m (13,789), a decrease of around 2% versus prior year, or an increase of around 3% when adjusted for exited business. Operating income is estimated to be SEK 2,190m (2,125) for the second quarter. “We have delivered a very good quarter, even taking account of the COVID-19 situation, with sales growth when adjusting for Consumer Brands exits, and an increased operating margin. After a challenging start to the quarter, demand accelerated quickly as markets gradually reopened and consumers showed a high interest in lawn and garden care equipment, especially for watering products. The effects of temporary cost avoidance activities and a favorable product mix improved our operating margin.” commented Henric Andersson, CEO. All figures in this press release are preliminary and unaudited, and the final report for the second quarter of 2020 will be published on July 16, 2020 at about 07:30 CET.
