Capital Markets Day in Stockholm
On November 15, Electrolux arranged a Capital Markets Day in Stockholm to provide the market with more in-depth information regarding its development. The main messages were:
- Electrolux is a consumer-driven company undergoing change that will continue to launch new products with support from investments in product innovation.
- Electrolux will continue to improve its operational excellence by adapting capacity to prevailing demand and accelerating its efforts to leverage the company’s global strength and scope.
- The Group’s exposure to growth markets will rise to about 50% over the next five years.
- While the overriding strategy pursued by Electrolux stands firm, the pace of implementation will increase.
- Under very difficult circumstances in 2011, Electrolux has the capacity to generate an underlying EBIT margin of approximately 4%, which boosts the Group’s conviction that it will achieve the financial goal of 6% over a business cycle.
