Electrolux Group Updates Strategy and Financial Targets at Capital Markets Event
Electrolux Group, a global leader in home appliances, is currently hosting its Capital Markets Update at the company Headquarters in Stockholm, highlighting significant updates regarding its strategic direction and reaffirming key financial targets. The event includes insights from President and CEO Yannick Fierling along with other members of Group Management.
During this vital session, the Electrolux team presented the renewed strategy aimed at enhancing organic growth, focusing on core brands while expanding its market presence and product lines. The primary goal is to strengthen operational margins through innovation and improved efficiency.
In the upcoming year, Electrolux plans to further refine its organizational structure to ensure agility and consumer-centricity. A new commercially-focused Region Asia-Pacific will be introduced starting January 1, 2026. This approach will allow Electrolux to quickly adapt to changing market demands, seize emerging opportunities, and accelerate innovation in its offerings. According to President and CEO Yannick Fierling, “Our renewed strategy is adapted to today’s competitive landscape. By being increasingly consumer-centric, Electrolux Group will be able to adapt quickly, seize new opportunities, and drive meaningful innovation.”
Updated Financial Goals
Alongside the strategic updates, Electrolux Group is also adjusting its financial targets to reflect a commitment to sustainable growth. Here are the key objectives shared during the event:
- - Organic Sales Growth: The Group is targeting an annual organic sales growth of at least 4% over the business cycle. This new shift emphasizes sales growth without including acquisitions or divestments, a change from previous targets that incorporated such factors.
- - Operating Margin: The operating margin remains a consistent aim of at least 6% over the business cycle, which Electrolux plans to achieve through enhanced growth, innovative product offerings, and improved cost efficiency.
- - Capital Turnover: The Group has set a capital turnover goal of at least four times across the business cycle, focusing on strategies to lower working capital and boost financial flexibility.
- - Return on Net Assets: Electrolux aims for a return exceeding 20% over a business cycle, driven by robust operating margins and efficient capital utilization.
The aftermarket sales ambition has been notably adjusted to a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the business cycle, showcasing a strategic refinement to capture a larger share of aftermarket services, expected to constitute 15% of total Group sales.
Emphasis on Sustainability
Electrolux Group's commitment to sustainability is unwavering, with reaffirmed targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions substantially. The company aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 85% and Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to 2021 levels. This ambitious plan aligns with science-based targets and highlights Electrolux's commitment to leading in climate action and circular solutions. By September 2025, Electrolux announced an impressive 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, showcasing its dedication to timely and effective climate strategies.
The Capital Markets Update will continue to be an essential platform for Electrolux Group to communicate its strategies and performance metrics to investors and stakeholders.
