About Husqvarna - A global leading producer of outdoor power products
Husqvarna Group is a global leading producer of outdoor power products for forest, park and garden care. Products include chainsaws, trimmers, robotic lawn mowers and ride-on lawn mowers. The Group is also the European leader in garden watering products and a global leader in cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction and stone industries.
The Group's products and solutions are sold under brands including Husqvarna, Gardena, McCulloch, Poulan Pro, Weed Eater, Flymo, Zenoah and Diamant Boart via dealers and retailers to consumers and professionals in more than 100 countries. Net sales in 2015 amounted to SEK 36 billion, and the Group has more than 13,000 employees in 40 countries.
Year-End Report 2016
Kai Wärn, President and CEO:
“The seasonal operating loss in the fourth quarter was reduced to half, from SEK -212m to SEK -108m, excluding the items affecting comparability prior year. Efficiency improvements offset the slightly lower sales in the seasonally small fourth quarter. In particular there were strong improvements in the Consumer Brands and Construction Divisions.
We are proud of the performance during 2016. Compared to the previous year, operating income has improved quarter by quarter due to the strong focus on efficiency improvements which enabled us to mitigate the negative currency headwind of some SEK 430m for the full year and at the same time step up our investments to support our profitable growth ambitions. Group operating income for 2016 improved by 8% to SEK 3,218m and the corresponding margin rose to 8.9% (8.2), excluding items affecting comparability. As a result of the continuing good earnings trend, the Board of Directors proposes that the dividend for 2016 is increased to SEK 1.95 (1.65) per share.
An example of the strength of our efficiency improvements in 2016 can be seen in the Consumer Brands Division. In a challenging environment with a 10% reduction of sales and currency headwind of some SEK -160m, we reached the milestone of a break-even result. Going forward, in parallel to continuing to focus on cost efficiency, we will pursue new profitable business opportunities.
Our other three Divisions showed a combined net sales growth of over 3% in 2016 and improved operating income. The acquisition of Pullman Ermator, finalized mid-January 2017, is an excellent strategic fit for our Construction Division and brings further growth opportunities in the attractive surface preparation segment. It also reflects our ambition to grow the Construction Division’s share of the Husqvarna Group.
Another area where I am proud to see that we are increasing ambitions is in sustainability. We are one of the first Swedish companies to have our specific climate targets approved by the "Science Based Targets Initiative". Our commitment is to reduce carbon emissions in line with the Paris/COP21 conference and contribute with our fair share to keep global warming below 2°Celcius compared to pre-industrial levels.
I expect that we will take another step forward with respect of our financial performance in 2017 and deliver profitable growth.”
Fourth quarter 2016
Net sales amounted to SEK 5,768m (5,672), corresponding to -3% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Operating income improved to SEK -108m (-212), excluding items affecting comparability.
