President and CEO Keith McLoughlin’s comments on the results for the fourth quarter 2015

Continued earnings recovery in our major business areas
Demand for appliances continued to grow in all markets in Western Europe and was
particularly strong in the Nordics, Spain and the UK. Most markets in Eastern
Europe, outside of Russia and Ukraine, also showed positive growth. In this
market, Major Appliances EMEA showed good organic growth and managed to
profitably grow its market share. Segments within built-in kitchen and laundry
contributed positively and the operating margin was 7.4% for the quarter – the
highest level since 2010. We expect the Western European market to grow by 2-3%
in 2016 and the market in Eastern Europe by approximately 2%, although the
development in Russia and Ukraine remains uncertain.

Our operations in North America continued to recover strongly in the quarter.
Positive volume growth in most categories and an improved mix contributed to
results. Profitability in refrigeration and freezers has been restored and the
work to ramp up and increase efficiency in the new cooking plant in Memphis is
making progress. Volume growth in the US market ended the year strongly. We
expect the market to continue to be solid in 2016 and forecast demand for
appliances to grow by 3-4%.

Earnings in Major Appliances Latin America were significantly affected by the
weak market situation in Brazil. As a consequence, sales volumes decreased in
the quarter. To mitigate the weak market and currency headwinds we have
continued to increase prices and reduce structural costs. Other markets in Latin
America, including Argentina, showed positive growth, which partly compensated
for the weakness in Brazil. We expect the Brazilian market to remain weak in
2016.

In the quarter, a cost reduction program was initiated within the business area
Small Appliances with the aim of restoring profitability. Operations have been
negatively impacted by lower volumes in several key markets and have also been
negatively impacted by currency headwinds. We expect these actions to reach full
effect from end of 2016, with estimated annual cost savings of SEK 120m.

In December, GE took the decision to terminate the agreement related to the
acquisition of GE Appliances. Although we are disappointed that the acquisition
is not being completed, we are confident that Electrolux has strong capabilities
to continue to grow and develop the position as a leading, global appliance
manufacturer. The strategy to grow profitably in promising segments, product
categories and emerging markets remains, supported by a strong balance sheet and
good cash generation.

It is now time for me to pass the baton to my successor as President and CEO;
Jonas Samuelson, and return to my family in the U.S. Jonas knows the company
very well and has a proven track record in several key positions within the
company. With his background I am certain Jonas is the right next leader for
Electrolux, to continue to execute the strategy of becoming a consumer driven
company leveraging on our global scale, with a strong focus on generating value
for our shareholders.
