Interim report January - June 2009

Highlights of the second quarter of 2009 

• Net sales amounted to SEK 27,482m (25,587) and income for the period to SEK
658m (99), or SEK 2.32 (0.36) per share. 

• Net sales declined by 8.4%, in comparable currencies, due to continued sharp
market downturn in Electrolux main markets. 

• Operating income amounted to SEK 1,027m (793), excluding items affecting
comparability.

• Continued strong cash flow gives Electrolux a solid financial position.

• Despite continued weak markets, operating income in Europe and North America
improved due to cost reductions, lower costs for raw materials and price
increases.

• Electrolux continues to gain market shares in the North American, Latin
American and Australian markets for appliances.
