GROUP FINANCIALS
Performance in the first nine months of 2017 in line with expectations Nilfisk realized total revenue of 252.7 mEUR in Q3 2017 with an organic growth of 3.4%. For the first nine months of 2017, revenue was 801.6 mEUR and organic growth was 3.1%. In Q3 2017, EBITDA before special items was 22.6 mEUR, and the EBITDA margin before special items declined by 1.7 percentage points to 8.9% from 10.6% in Q3 2016. In the first nine months of 2017, EBITDA before special items was 93.5 mEUR, and the EBITDA margin before special items increased by 0.7 percentage points to 11.7% compared to the first nine months of 2016.
Nilfisk’s return on capital employed increased to 16.5% at the end of September 2017 from 13.2% at the end of September 2016.
Organic revenue growth driven by EMEA Total revenue growth was 1.0% in Q3 2017 with an impact of -0.2% mainly from the divestment of US-based Cyclone Technology in 2016 and an impact of -2.2% from currency exchange rates. Nilfisk realized an organic revenue growth of 3.4% in Q3 2017. The organic growth was driven by positive developments in EMEA and Specialty Professional, which realized organic growth of 10.6% and 1.4% respectively. Americas realized flat organic growth seen in the light of a strong Q3 2016 organic growth. APAC realized organic growth of -1.2%, and Specialty Consumer realized organic growth of -13.9%. Total business excluding specialty segments realized an organic growth of 5.6% in Q3 2017. For the first nine months of 2017, total revenue growth was 2.5%, impacted by -0.3% mainly from the divestment and by -0.3% from currency exchange rates.

EBITDA before special items in line with expectations EBITDA before special items amounted to 22.6 mEUR in Q3 2017, down from 26.5 mEUR in Q3 2016. The EBITDA margin before special items has decreased by 1.7 percentage points to 8.9% compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease was mainly driven by a decreasing gross margin and a higher overhead cost ratio. For the first nine months of 2017, EBITDA before special items was 93.5 mEUR, an increase by 7.2 mEUR from the same period in 2016. The EBITDA margin before special items was 11.7% compared to 11.0% for the same period in 2016, equivalent to an increase of 0.7 percentage points.

activities that cannot be capitalized, and further investments in front-end sales initiatives, while the administration costs were decreasing. Overhead cost in Q3 2017 was 4.8 mEUR below the overhead cost in Q2 2017, but the overhead cost percentage was higher due to the lower sales activity. For the first nine months, the overhead cost ratio decreased from 34.3% in 2016 to 34.2% in 2017.
In Q3 2017, the gross margin was 40.8% compared to 42.2% in Q3 2016, equivalent to a decrease of 1.4 percentage points. During Q3 2017, the gross margin was 3.0 percentage points lower than the gross margin for the first six months of 2017. The decrease was driven by changes in product mix, including a significant increase in private label sales, higher raw material prices, and higher freight cost. For the first nine months, the gross margin increased from 42.3% in 2016 to 42.8% in 2017.
In Q3 2017, special items were 3.3 mEUR, down from 14.3 mEUR in Q3 2016. For the first nine months of 2017, special items amounted to 10.2 mEUR, down by 4.1 mEUR from the same period in 2016. The costs in Q3 2017 primarily relate to restructuring costs of 2.0 mEUR incurred in connection with the cost saving program executed as part of the Accelerate+ initiatives. In addition, 1.3 mEUR of costs, mainly related to consultancy fees, were incurred in connection with the split from NKT Holding A/S.
Working capital still at a low level Overhead cost in line with expectations Overhead costs were 88.4 mEUR in Q3 2017, equivalent to an overhead cost ratio of 35.0% compared to 34.8% in Q3 2016. The higher costs were mainly driven by an increased focus on research
At the end of Q3 2017, working capital was 180.6 mEUR, up by 0.6 mEUR from the end of Q3 2016. The working capital ratio measured on a 12 months’ average decreased by 2.5 percentage points to 16.3% at the end of Q3 2017 from 18.8% at the end

of Q3 2016. The working capital ratio at the end of Q3 2017 was impacted by a high level of payables due to an unusual high level of production in China. Changes in working capital in Q3 2017 impacted the cash flow positively by 3.3 mEUR compared to an impact of 19.6 mEUR in Q3 2016 due to a less favorable impact from receivables. Referring to the Annual Report 2016, the working capital level as of December 31, 2016, was unusually low as well. It was impacted by factors including the postponement of production of consumer high pressure washers because of the late Easter in 2017, as well as a low level of inventory due to strong demand in the last months of the year. This impacted the working capital positively by approximately 24 mEUR. The negative working capital development during the first nine months of 2017 reflects the low starting point for working capital at the beginning of the year.
Net interest-bearing debt At the end of Q3 2017, total net interest-bearing debt was 262.5 mEUR, down by 3.3 mEUR against year-end 2016 and down by 31.4 mEUR against end of Q3 2016. The main part of the debt relates to intercompany balances with the parent company, NKT Holding A/S. Interest-bearing intercompany balances at the end of Q3 2017 are recognized as long-term balances in accordance with agreements made with NKT Holding A/S and external credit facilities. The 2016 comparison figures are recognized as short-term debt reflecting agreements in place at that time. As part of the split from NKT Holding A/S, 117 mEUR of the net interest-bearing debt of NKT Holding A/S will be allocated to Nilfisk Holding A/S in Q4 2017.
before special items remain unchanged: • Organic growth is expected in the range of 3-4% (from 2-4% previously) • EBITDA margin before special items is expected to be in the range of 11.0-11.5%
Listing of Nilfisk on Nasdaq Copenhagen During Q3 2017, the preparations for the demerger from NKT and listing of Nilfisk continued. NKT announced in September 2016 it intended to split NKT into two separately listed companies: Nilfisk and NKT. The Board of Directors of NKT concluded that a separation of NKT into two stand-alone businesses was in the best interest of its shareholders as it would allow for value creation by unlocking the
Accelerate+ cost saving program In 2016 Nilfisk initiated a cost saving program as part of the Accelerate+ initiative, with the target of realizing 35 mEUR in annual EBITDA improvements. The full cost saving potential of Accelerate+ is expected to be achieved as of December 2019 with full EBITDA impact from the financial year 2020. The program includes overhead reductions from structural changes and efficiencies through production footprint, sourcing

The demerger of NKT was adopted by the General Meeting on October 10, 2017. The demerger was adopted on the terms and conditions set out in the demerger plan dated September 11, 2017, with schedules, pursuant to which part of NKT A/S’ activities, assets and liabilities will be transferred to a new company named Nilfisk Holding A/S. Nilfisk Holding A/S was admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen as per October 12, 2017, a milestone in the company’s history.

By the end of Q3 2017, initiatives implemented and launched in 2016 and during the first nine months of 2017 had positively impacted costs by savings of 12 mEUR, with an expected full-year effect of 18 mEUR, split with approximately 13 mEUR related to overhead reductions, approximately 4 mEUR related to Global Operations initiatives, and less than 1 mEUR related of other initiatives such as complexity reductions and price management.

GROUP FINANCIALS
Updated segmentation as of January 1, 2017 Prior to January 1, 2017, the Group’s operation was split into three main sales operating segments: EMEA, Americas and APAC, which were primarily geographically defined. Most of Nilfisk Group’s production and supply chain activities were included in the segment Global Operations, while an additional operating segment named “Other” included items relating to Nilfisk Group’s smaller stand-alone production facilities and smaller sales entities. Global Operations is responsible for sourcing, production, and logistics. Prior to January 1, 2017, the operating segments within sales bought products from Global Operations at internally determined prices and such internal prices allowed Global Operations to cover operating expenses and realize operating profits. With effect from January 1, 2017, the Group has redefined its operating segments to align with a new operational model and organizational structure implemented during 2016. Certain products have been carved out from the geographically defined operating segments previously used, and such products are now reported as “Specialty Professional” and “Specialty Consumer”. Therefore, as of January 1, 2017, the geographically defined operating segments EMEA, Americas, and APAC are now defined entirely by certain professional products. The new carved-out segment Specialty Professional includes industrial vacuum cleaners and the outdoor and restoration equipment business, along with specialized equipment for the food industry. Specialty Consumer includes domestic vacuum cleaners and high pressure washers for the consumer markets. The gross profit disclosed for the EMEA, Americas and APAC sales segments is based on internally determined prices for products acquired from the production units, while the operating profit related to the production of such products
is reported under non-allocated. For Specialty Professional and Specialty Consumer gross profit includes full product profitability. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 for the carved-out Specialty segments are partly based on the Executive Management Board’s judgment. As supplementary information, the Q3 Interim Report 2017 includes gross profit information where the product profit has been allocated in full to all operating segments, thereby showing the full group profit contribution of the operating segments EMEA, Americas, APAC, Specialty Professional and Specialty Consumer. The full allocation of product profit has been implemented retrospectively from January 1, 2017. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 are only available for the carved-out Specialty segments and are partly based on the Executive Management Board’s judgment. Consequently, and in order to have comparison figures, the segment reporting includes gross profit based on internally determined prices as well as gross profit based on full profit contribution. The 2017 operating profit before amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items is disclosed by operating segments including profits and cost directly attributable to the operating segments. Overhead costs in the sourcing, production, logistics and headquarters functions are not allocated to operating segments but disclosed as non-allocated. With effect from January 1, 2017, a new overhead cost allocation model between the operating segments has been introduced in line with the new operating model implemented as of the same date. Due to a change in segments and the new allocation of cost between such segments, comparative figures for 2016 cannot be estimated reliably as the information is not available and the cost to derive such comparative numbers is deemed excessive.

STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS
Strategy and operations Organizational updates In Q3 2017 two strong profiles joined the Nilfisk Leadership team. Jesper Terndrup Madsen was appointed head of Global Operations. He has been with Nilfisk since 2015 and has been responsible for optimizing Nilfisk’ s supply chain. In addition, Serdar Ülger was appointed new head of APAC. He has been with Nilfisk since 2005 and has successfully run NiIfisk’s operations in Turkey as well as the South/Southeast European region. During Q3, Nilfisk also completed structural changes to further strengthen the company’s commercial focus. A new Products & Services unit was established that will drive future offerings from Nilfisk with a strong focus on autonomy, use of data, and digital services. Lars Gjødsbøl was appointed head of this new function. Lars Gjødsbøl has held various management positions within Nilfisk and most recently comes from a role as Executive Vice President for Global Operations at Nilfisk.
Development of future offerings In the beginning of October, Nilfisk announced a new partnership with Blue Ocean Robotics, a specialized technology company focusing on developing new generations of robots for the global market. Nilfisk has a clear multi-partner strategy and wants to develop the company’s product portfolio in close collaboration with highly specialized technology partners. The cooperation with Blue Ocean Robotics complements Nilfisk’s existing partnerships within robotics.
Outsourcing of financial processes In Q3 2017, Nilfisk signed an agreement with Wipro Ltd., an India-based outsourcing provider, to outsource a selected number of transactional finance processes. The processes will be moved to Wipro’s delivery center in Pune, India.
Restructuring of production setup in Europe
Products and launches
In September 2017, Nilfisk initiated a restructuring of the production setup in Europe. The aim of the restructuring is to create a production setup in which each factory is concentrated on specific product families. This will reduce complexity and enable effective development of operations at each site including improved quality processes, better efficiency and increased stability. The restructuring is expected to be completed during Q2, 2018. When completed, the Guardamiglio (Italy) and Lemvig (Denmark) sites will become pure Outdoor sites, the Szigetszentmiklós (Hungary) site will produce Floorcare products and the Nagykanizsa (Hungary) plant will become a site focused on professional HPW as well as Vacuum Cleaners.
In Q3 2017, Nilfisk launched five new products. Among others the PS480, the first manual push sweeper from Viper, and the CS7010 hybrid and ePower combimachine, which reinvents an entire class of equipment by reducing total cost of ownership including operation, labor and maintenance. The completion and commercialization of the new autonomous scrubber, the Nilfisk Liberty A50, is progressing according to plan. The first units are expected to be released towards the end of 2017 or in the first part of 2018.

Nilfisk Q3 Interim Report 2017 14
Note 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as adopted by the EU. Prior to January 1, 2017, the Group’s operation was split into three main sales operating segments: EMEA, Americas and APAC, which were primarily geographically defined. Most of Nilfisk Group’s production and supply chain activities were included in the segment Global Operations, while an additional operating segment named “Other” included items relating to Nilfisk Group’s smaller stand-alone production facilities and smaller sales entities. Global Operations is responsible for sourcing, production, and logistics. Prior to January 1, 2017, the operating segments within sales bought products from Global Operations at internally determined prices and such internal prices allowed Global Operations to cover operating expenses and realize operating profits. With effect from January 1, 2017, the Group has redefined its operating segments to align with a new operational model and organizational structure implemented during 2016. Certain products have been carved out from the geographically defined operating segments previously used, and such products are now reported as “Specialty Professional” and “Specialty Consumer”. Therefore, as of January 1, 2017, the geographically defined operating segments EMEA, Americas, and APAC are now defined entirely by certain professional products. The new carved-out segment Specialty Professional includes industrial vacuum cleaners and the outdoor and restoration equipment business, along with specialized equipment for the food industry. Specialty Consumer includes domestic vacuum cleaners and high pressure washers for the consumer markets. In the Q3 Interim Report 2017, the gross profit disclosed for the EMEA, Americas and APAC sales segments is based on internally determined prices for products acquired from the production units, while the operating profit related to the production of such products is reported under non-allocated. For Specialty Professional and Specialty Consumer gross profit includes full product profitability.
Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 for the carvedout Specialty segments are partly based on the Executive Management Board’s judgment.
Report. Regarding risks please refer to Note 6.8 on page 88 of the 2016 Annual Report and the information contained in the section on risk management on page 28 of the Annual Report.
As supplementary information, the Q3 Interim Report 2017 includes gross profit information where the product profit has been allocated in full to all operating segments, thereby showing the full group profit contribution of the operating segments EMEA, Americas, APAC, Specialty Professional and Specialty Consumer. The full allocation of product profit has been implemented retrospectively from January 1, 2017. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 are only available for the carved-out Specialty segments and are partly based on the Executive Management Board’s judgment.
Reclassifications The Nilfisk Group has made a reclassification that affects cost of sales as well as sales and distribution costs in 2016. The reclassification involves the transfer of direct distribution costs of a total of 5.8 mEUR from being included in “cost of sales” to “sales and distribution costs” in 2016. The effect for the first nine months of 2016 is 4.3 mEUR. This reclassification affects “gross profit” as well as the overhead cost ratio. “Operating profit before amortization/ impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items” is not affected.
Consequently, and in order to have comparison figures, the segment reporting includes gross profit based on internally determined prices as well as gross profit based on full profit contribution. The 2017 operating profit before amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items is disclosed by operating segments including profits and cost directly attributable to the operating segments. Overhead costs in the sourcing, production, logistics and headquarter functions are not allocated to operating segments but disclosed as non-allocated. With effect from January 1, 2017, a new overhead cost allocation model between the operating segments has been introduced in line with the new operating model implemented as of the same date. Due to a change in segments and the new allocation of cost between such segments, comparative figures for 2016 cannot be estimated reliably as the information is not available and the cost to derive such comparative numbers is deemed excessive. Except for above, the interim report follows the same accounting policies as the 2016 Annual report. Regarding accounting estimates, please refer to Note 1.1 on page 41 of the 2016 Annual

Accordingly, gross profit for each segment includes the gross profit from the entire value chain including production and distribution for the 2017 figures. Comparative figures for the same period in 2016 are only available for the carved-out Specialty segments as discussed in note 1. The lower right table shows the operating profit before amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items disclosed by operating segments. The overview is based on gross profit without full allocation less cost directly attributable to each operating segment. Comparative figures for 2016 are not available as discussed in note 1.

INCOME STATEMENT CLASSIFIED BY FUNCTION
The note describes income and expenses recognized that have a non-recurring and special nature against normal operating income and expenses.
The Nilfisk Group presents the Income statement based on a classification of the costs by function in order to show the ”Operating profit before amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items”. These items are therefore separated from the individual functions, but below presented as if they are allocated to each function.

The Accelerate+ initiative includes the implementation of a new operating model and a new organizational structure as well as a cost saving program. Costs incurred to implement this initiative include consultancy fees and supporting tools as well as organizational changes, alignment of facilities, and redundancy costs to staff where one-off related costs are paid out. In 2016, the US-based Cyclone Technology was divested. The loss recognized as a special item consists of intangible, tangible and current assets disposed with a sales price below carrying value. Also in 2016, impairment of 4.6 mEUR relates to the restructuring of a small business within the Specialty Professional operating segment. An impairment on trademarks, know-how, patents and competition clauses of 1.5 mEUR in total is presented under “Amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles” whereas write-down of other current and non-current assets in the amount of 3.1 mEUR is presented under Special items. Costs related to the intended split from NKT Holding A/S mainly relate to consultancy fees in connection with the separate listing of Nilfisk A/S.
