Correction of balance sheet and income statement 2014


Husqvarna Group has established a new brand-driven organization for its forest
and garden operations, which was fully effective as of January 1, 2015. The new
organization includes three global divisions for the forest and garden
operations; Husqvarna, Gardena and Consumer Brands. The Construction division
was not affected by the reorganization. The business area reporting for 2014,
restated into the new divisions, is included in the Group’s annual report for
2014.

Furthermore, the Group has revisited the calculation model for elimination of
internal profits in inventory. The application of the new model results in a
correction of the opening balance of Group inventory as of January 1, 2015, by
SEK -245m before tax. The impact on Group income for the period 2014 is limited
to SEK -7m, with differences between the four individual quarters and divisions.
In addition, there has also been a minor correction of prior years’ reported
equity, primarily related to income tax.

The full restatement is attached to this press release.
