▲(4.04% Upside)
The score is driven primarily by solid financial quality and cash generation, reinforced by a constructive earnings outlook with confirmed cost-savings and margin progress. Offsetting these positives are weak technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD) and a somewhat expensive valuation (P/E ~24.4 with a modest ~1.38% yield).
Positive Factors
Profitability and margins
Consistently healthy gross and EBIT/EBITDA margins and a strong ROE indicate durable operational efficiency and pricing power versus peers. Sustained margins support reinvestment, product development and shareholder returns even if top-line growth slows.
Balance sheet deleveraging
Reduction to roughly 1x net debt/EBITDA and a moderate debt-to-equity stance improve financial flexibility. Lower leverage means capacity for targeted M&A, continued capex for new products, and greater resilience to cyclical revenue shocks.
Confirmed efficiency program
Multi-year, quantified cost savings materially bolster structural margin recovery and cash flow conversion. Deliverable savings tied to footprint and productivity create lasting margin tailwinds that reduce sensitivity to cyclical revenue pressure.
Negative Factors
Weak revenue trend
A persistent slight decline in reported revenue signals underlying demand softness or lost share in some markets. Over 2–6 months this limits leverage on fixed costs, constrains aftermarket growth and makes margin gains more dependent on cost programs.
Weak cash conversion and FCF
Low OCF-to-profit conversion and declining free cash flow reduce self-funding for capex, acquisitions and dividends. Structural cash conversion issues heighten reliance on debt or equity for strategic moves and limit buffer versus cyclical downturns.
Currency and regional exposure
Material translation and transaction FX hits, plus sustained weakness in U.S. Food & Beverage and Japan, create structural volatility in reported sales and margins. Persistent FX and concentrated regional risk demand pricing, hedging and mix shifts to stabilize results.

Electrolux Professional AB Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 29, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
Despite significant external headwinds—notably currency translation/transaction effects, tariffs, and market weakness in the U.S. and Japan—the company reported margin expansion, improved profitability (including a strong Laundry margin), EPS growth (~+30% in Q4), confirmed cost-savings from the efficiency program (>SEK 80m in 2026, >SEK 170m in 2027), continued investment in product innovation and targeted M&A activity, and a stronger net-debt position. The call balances operational and financial progress against meaningful macro and currency challenges; on net the underlying business trends and confirmed efficiency savings give a constructive outlook.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Improved Full-Year Organic Sales and Margin Expansion
Organic sales grew 0.5% for FY2025 and EBITDA margin (before the September restructuring provision) increased from 11.6% in 2024 to 12.1% in 2025 (+0.5 percentage points).
Quarterly EBITDA Margin Improvement
Q4 EBITDA margin rose from 12.0% in the prior-year quarter to 12.6% in Q4 2025 (+0.6 percentage points), supported by price, lower material costs and better productivity.
Strong Laundry Profitability
Laundry full-year sales were flat on a same-currency basis while margin improved to 17.4%, over 1 percentage point higher than 2024.
Food & Beverage Growth and European Strength
Food & Beverage (largest segment) delivered same-currency growth of ~1.5% and closed the year with a margin near 10.7%; Europe was the main growth driver with improving order intake and market-share gains, particularly in cooking product categories.
Earnings Per Share and Cash Position
Q4 earnings per share were SEK 0.98, about +30% versus the same quarter last year. Net debt has been reduced materially year-over-year, with management noting a net debt/EBITDA ratio brought down to roughly 1x.
Restructuring & Efficiency Program with Confirmed Savings
Efficiency program launched in September progressing as planned with confirmed anticipated savings of >SEK 80 million in 2026 and >SEK 170 million in 2027; program includes factory footprint consolidation and productivity improvements.
CapEx & Product Investment
CapEx for the year was ~SEK 360 million (~3% of sales) and management expects similar investment in 2026 to support major product launches (new cooking line and laundry platform).
Strategic M&A and Product Innovation
Acquisition of Royal Range completed (Jan 2026) and integration underway; additional targeted smaller M&A opportunities are being pursued. New product launches include a new cooking line in Europe and a unique stacked combo/dryer solution from the Tosei acquisition.
Negative Updates
Q4 Declining Reported Organic Growth
The quarter reported declining organic growth (management noted the headline quarter was negative), although underlying performance excluding currency transaction effects would have been modestly positive (+0.6%).
Currency Translation and Transaction Headwinds
Exchange-rate effects were significant: currency translation reduced the top line by roughly 7 percentage points and reduced EBITDA value in absolute terms by a similar amount. Currency transaction effects (largely USD) hit Q4 P&L by ~SEK 45 million (≈1.3 percentage points of margin) and ~SEK 100 million (~0.8 percentage points) for the full year.
Weakness in U.S. Food & Beverage and Japan
U.S. Food & Beverage market weakened after summer and remained relatively weak in Q4. Asia Pacific decline was driven mainly by Japan, which pressured segment sales in the quarter.
Decline in Laundry Sales in Key Markets
Laundry organic sales declined in Q4, primarily due to North America and Japan. North America weakness was in part a normalization (distributor destocking) after an exceptionally strong prior-year quarter.
Restructuring Costs and Near-Term Cash Out
The September restructuring provision and the cash execution of the restructuring generated a negative cash out in the quarter; Q4 included SEK 10 million of acquisition costs and higher short-term cash outflows related to restructuring execution.
Slightly Lower Cash Flow and Increased CapEx
Free cash flow was slightly below last year due to marginally lower EBITA, higher CapEx and restructuring cash out; CapEx finished at ~SEK 360 million (~3% of sales), higher than recent prior periods.
Company Guidance
Guidance from the call focused on margin recovery, cost savings and near‑term operational actions: the efficiency program is confirmed to deliver >SEK 80m of savings in 2026 and >SEK 170m in 2027; CapEx is expected to remain around SEK 360m (~3% of sales) in 2026; the company is confident it can fully compensate the tariff impact in 2026 provided no further tariff changes; the forward tax rate is expected to be roughly 26% (Q4 tax was 11% due to a one‑off, full‑year 2025 ~21%); Q1 2026 should see continued order intake momentum in Food & Beverage Europe and in Laundry (helping to offset a weaker U.S. Food & Beverage market); operational moves include shifting most coffee production in Q1 2026; currency transaction headwinds hit Q4 by ~SEK 45m (~1.3 percentage points of margin) and ~SEK 100m (~0.8 pp margin) for the full year; reported Q4 EBITDA margin was 12.6% (FY EBITDA margin ~12.1% before the September restructuring provision, up from 11.6% in 2024), full‑year organic sales +0.5%, Food & Beverage FY margin ~10.7%, Laundry FY margin ~17.4%, Q4 EPS SEK 0.98 (+~30% y/y), net finance cost Q4 SEK 80m, net debt has been reduced to around 1x EBITDA, and acquisition costs of SEK 10m (Royal Range) were included while an increased dividend per share is being proposed.

Electrolux Professional AB Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall fundamentals are solid: stable profitability, moderate leverage, and strong recent operating/free cash flow (~SEK 1.0B FCF in 2023–2025). The main financial drawback is the slight 2025 revenue decline (~-2%) and softer earnings versus 2024, which could pressure returns if it persists.
Income Statement
74
Positive
Profitability is solid and fairly stable across the cycle, with net income holding up well from 2020–2025 and margins generally in the mid-single digits (about 6% in 2021–2024). Revenue expanded strongly from 2021–2024, but growth turned slightly negative in 2025 (annual revenue down ~2%), and earnings eased versus 2024, signaling some near-term demand or pricing pressure. Overall, the business shows resilient earnings power, but the latest period indicates a mild slowdown.
Balance Sheet
70
Positive
The balance sheet looks reasonably healthy with a meaningful equity base (stockholders’ equity ~5.5B vs. total assets ~13.0B in 2025) and moderate leverage historically (debt-to-equity ~0.47–0.73 in 2021–2024). However, total debt remains sizable (about 2.8B in 2025), and leverage has moved around year-to-year rather than steadily declining, which can add sensitivity if profitability softens. Returns on equity were strong in 2023–2024, supporting overall balance sheet quality.
Cash Flow
79
Positive
Cash generation is a clear strength: operating cash flow and free cash flow were strong in 2023–2025 (free cash flow roughly ~1.0B each year), and free cash flow grew in 2024 and 2025. Free cash flow also covered a large portion of earnings in recent years (around ~0.78–0.85 in 2023–2024), supporting earnings quality. The main weakness is volatility earlier in the period (notably weaker 2022 cash flow and a sharp free-cash-flow decline), indicating working-capital or investment swings can materially impact cash conversion.

Electrolux Professional Lifts Margins and Tightens US Push Despite Currency Hit
Jan 29, 2026

Electrolux Professional reported a 7.3% decline in fourth-quarter net sales to SEK 3.1 billion, largely driven by negative currency effects, but managed to lift its EBITA margin to 12.6% as strong European performance in both Food & Beverage and Laundry offset weaker demand in the US and parts of APAC-MEA. For 2025, organic growth was modest and underlying profitability improved despite significant headwinds from currency and tariffs, while the board proposed a higher dividend of SEK 0.95 per share and operating cash flow remained solid. Strategic initiatives included continued investment in new laundry and horizontal cooking platforms ahead of 2026 launches, an efficiency program expected to yield savings in 2026–27, and the acquisition of US cooking player Royal Range’s assets to broaden the US product offering and leverage Electrolux Professional’s sales network; governance continuity and renewal were signaled by the upcoming CEO transition from Alberto Zanata to Paolo Schira in May 2026. These moves collectively aim to reinforce the company’s competitive position, particularly in Europe and the US, bolster margins in a challenging macro environment, and support its sustainability-led value proposition for customers and shareholders.
