Question: Johan Eliason - Kepler Cheuvreux, Research Division - Analyst
: I was quite impressed by the Gardena performance. You show a positive organic growth despite robots missing an extremely tough comps. I guess
it's all about the price compensation though. But still, I mean, if you look at Gardena, it hasn't shown a single negative organic Q1 quarter since
you started reporting it, I think, 8 years ago or so. Have you done anything more this season in terms of broadening the distribution channels similar
to what we have seen over the last few years? And is there some further acceleration to expect during this year or into next year for Gardena?
Question: Johan Eliason - Kepler Cheuvreux, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And just on hand tools, how big a share of Gardena is that today?
Question: Johan Eliason - Kepler Cheuvreux, Research Division - Analyst
: Excellent. And then I noticed your balance sheet, did you do any -- or cash flow generation is obviously a bit weak. Did you do anything particular
to the factoring or any other extra financing during the quarter?

APRIL 21, 2022 / 8:00AM, HUSQb.ST - Q1 2022 Husqvarna AB Earnings Call
Question: Johan Eliason - Kepler Cheuvreux, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. Good. And then just looking into the sell-through season, we are into April, obviously, already. You talked about lower retail inventory still,
I think, in the report. But what about weather? I sort of heard a cold March in the U.S., probably a bit cold here in Europe as well. How do you see
the seasons playing out from what you can see so far in terms of demand and then maybe weather patterns that might impact you?
Question: Johan Eliason - Kepler Cheuvreux, Research Division - Analyst
: And remind us how is the comps for the sell-through quarter Q2? I think we had flooding in Germany, obviously impacting Gardena negatively.
Was that sort of rather a Q3 impact? Or how did that look like last year?
