Interim Report January - March 2008

•  Net sales decreased by 3.0% to SEK 24,193m (24,930) and income for the period
amounted to SEK -106m (492), or SEK -0.38 (1.76) per share

•  Operating income declined to SEK -39m (757), excluding items affecting
comparability. The decline is partly due to negative non-recurring items
amounting to SEK 430m and costs relating to the US launch amounting to SEK 120m

•  Lower sales volumes, due to the sharp decline in the US market, adversely
affected operating income for appliances in North America

•  Weak markets in Western Europe and increased product costs had a negative
impact on operating income for appliances in Europe 

•  Strong results for appliances in Latin America, Asia/Pacific, floor-care
products and Professional Products

•  Outlook: Operating income in 2008 is expected to be in line with 2007
