CEO Tony Sturrus comments “Today Pergo reports accelerating growth in sales for North America. In Q3, sales in local currency grew 15% and are up 10% on a year-over-year comparison basis. The growth in the quarter was achieved despite disruption in our logistical chain caused by the major hurricanes in September. Sales in our home centre channel were particularly strong during the period. Our sales levels in Europe also increased in the third quarter. Our people have significantly improved our year-over-year profit performance in Q3. We are also on track with our European improvement program to save annualized cost of SEK 100 million. We will begin to realize some of the benefits of our lower cost model in Q4 with the full SEK 100 million improvement to be realized in 2006. We are increasing our customer relationship activities both in Europe and in North America. We have introduced a more customer-focused and efficient selling structure throughout Europe. Our main objectives for the Pergo group remain growth and improved profitability.” For further information, please contact: Pergo will hold a phone conference for media and financial analysts on October 21, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. A presentation is available at www.pergo.com Phone: +46 (0)8 5853 6965 (Sweden), +44 (0)20 7784 1005 (UK), +1 718 3541 153 (US) CEO Tony Sturrus, tel +46 410 36 31 00, E-mail: tony.sturrus@pergo.com CFO Staffan Söderqvist, tel +46 410 36 31 00, E-mail: staffan.soderqvist@pergo.com IR- and Pressduty weekdays, tel +46 410 36 31 00
