Debt Investor Presentation April 2021

Credit rating: BBB with stable outlook by S&P "...Danfoss has enough financial flexibility to quickly absorb the planned $3.3 billion acquisition of Eaton hydraulics business" - S&P March 2021 Rating update 29 March 2021 S&P Global Ratings Research Update: Ratings Direct® Danfoss A/S Outlook Revised To Stable From Negative; 'BBB/A-2' Ratings Affirmed; €2.5 Billion EMTN Program Rated 'BBB' March 29, 2021 PRIMARY CREDIT ANALYST Rating Action Overview - Operating performance at Danfoss A/S, a leading European producer of electrical and mechanical components, was better than we anticipated in 2020, with S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin stable at 16.4 % despite a revenue decline of 7.3% year on year. This, combined with higher-than-expected free operating cash flow (FOCF) resulted in funds from operations (FFO) to debt of about 93% compared with about 75% in our previous base case. Although the planned $3.3 billion acquisition of Eaton hydraulics business will significantly weighon credit metrics, wenow believe that Danfoss has enough financial flexibility to maintain pro-forma FFD to debt of about 30% in 2021, and sustainably above this level from 2022 onward. -We are therefore revising our outlook to stable from negative and affirming our BBB/A-2" long- and short-term issuer credit ratingson Danfoss, and assigning our 'BBB' issue rating to the company's new senior unsecured €2.5 billion euro medium-term note (EMTN) program. The stable outlook reflects our view that FFO to debt will remain comfortably above 30% and adjusted EBITDA margin will increase to about 16% in the 12-18 months after the planned acquisition of Eaton's hydraulics business.
