EBIT almost doubled since AIP launch
• The Accelerated Improvement Program; launched Q3
2013, activities ending in 2015 and full financial impact
realized 2016
• The program is delivering above expectations
– Purchasing, value engineering and SKU complexity reduction
– Selective growth in profit pool areas
• However, the Group faces ~1,3 p.p. margin headwind due
to changes in exchange rates since 2013
– So far, unfavorable FX translation impact on net sales
– In 2016 currency hedges will no longer offset unfavorable
transaction impact on EBIT
• Additional activities to secure cost reductions beyond the
AIP in 2016 and 2017
