  • Press Release Stockholm, July 8, 2020
    Press release Stockholm, July 8, 2020 Husqvarna Group to report better sales in the second quarter than previously anticipated Husqvarna Group has had a stronger Net Sales development for the second quarter of 2020 than advised in the press release published on June 8, 2020. 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. Husqvarna Group will not make any further comments until after the interim report has been published.

  • Press Release Stockholm March 5, 2020
    Press release Stockholm March 5, 2020 Estimation of the Covid-19 impact on Husqvarna Group’s net sales for the first quarter 2020 Husqvarna Group estimates that the impact on net sales for the first quarter 2020 will be approximately 3 percent (with Q1 2019 as the reference*) due to supply chain disturbances related to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. The COVID-19 virus outbreak development has high attention within the Husqvarna Group and the company is doing the utmost to secure the health and safety of our employees and minimize any impact on the operations. All of the Group’s three production units in China have been up and running since mid-February, and are gradually increasing the capacity. Initiatives taken to minimize the impact on the business include securing components and transportation, as well as utilizing alternative suppliers. Given the dynamics related to the regions affected, where the situation in China is stabilizing and gradually improving whilst in Europe still somewhat uncertain, it is currently difficult to provide visibility of how long the supply chain impact might remain. However, from what we can see at this stage, there is no impact on customer demand as a consequence of COVID-19. *Adjusted for exits of the Consumer Brands business For additional information, please contact Johan Andersson, Director, Corporate Communications and Investor Relations +46 702 100 451 or [email protected] Husqvarna Group Husqvarna Group is a global leading producer of outdoor power products and innovative solutions for forest, park and garden care.
