Electrolux has posted a strong third-quarter performance, with operating profits more than doubling year-over-year—thanks largely to a revitalized North American business. The Swedish appliance giant, whose portfolio includes household names like Frigidaire and AEG, reported operating earnings of 890 million kronor ($94.5 million), up from 349 million kronor in the same period last year.
This impressive leap was fueled by a 5% organic sales increase, driven primarily by double-digit growth in North America. After years of grappling with high production costs, plant inefficiencies, and intense competition, Electrolux’s U.S. operations have turned a corner—gaining market share and helping to offset rising customs duties.
“Despite a pressured price environment, we were able to offset most of the cost increases related to US customs duties in the third quarter,” said CEO Yannick Fierling, highlighting the company’s resilience and strategic progress.

Arçelik Narrows Losses in Q3 2025, Eyes Global Gains
In the third quarter of 2025, Arçelik—majority owner of Beko Europe—reported a net loss of 2 billion Turkish lira (€41 million), falling short of analyst expectations, which had forecast a more modest 1.1 billion lira (€22 million) deficit. Despite the miss, the result marks a notable improvement over the same period in 2024, when losses ballooned to 5.6 billion lira (€114 million).
Revenue for the quarter declined 11% year-over-year, landing at 124 billion lira (€2.53 billion). The drop reflects a slowdown in domestic appliance demand, as many Turkish households had already front-loaded purchases in recent years to hedge against inflation.
Looking ahead, Arçelik aims to preserve EBITDA margins between 6% and 6.5% for the full year by trimming capital expenditures—from a projected €300 million down to €250 million.
On the global front, the company expects a 5–10% boost in foreign currency earnings by year-end, driven by performance across Beko Europe, Egypt, and Asia.

Fnac Darty Posts Solid Q3 Growth, Powered by Unieuro Acquisition and Strong Spanish Performance
Fnac Darty reported a 1.6% year-on-year increase in third-quarter sales for 2025, reaching €2.5 billion on a like-for-like basis—assuming Unieuro had already been part of the group in Q3 2024. The actual impact of Unieuro’s integration was far more dramatic, driving a 34.6% surge in total sales.
📈 Regional Highlights:
– France led the charge with a 1.7% uptick, reinforcing its role as the group’s growth engine.
– Rest of Europe saw more modest gains at 1.3%, reflecting mixed market dynamics.
– Spain emerged as a standout performer, posting a 3.9% increase in Q3 and a robust 6.2% rise over the first nine months.
📉 Italy’s Drag:
Despite Unieuro’s contribution to overall growth, Italy was the only market to contract, with turnover dipping 0.6% year-to-date. This suggests localized challenges that may require strategic recalibration.
Fnac Darty’s performance underscores the strategic value of its Unieuro acquisition while highlighting the need for targeted efforts in underperforming regions.
