3 Danfoss delivers strong results in a flat market The H1 interim report from Danfoss shows that the Group continues to deliver strong results under challenging global market conditions. With net sales of DKK 16,815m and EBIT before other operating income/expenses (exclusive of non-recurring costs relating to the acquisition of Sauer-Danfoss) of DKK 1,665m, the first-half results were satisfactory, but slightly below the strong showing for the first half of The strong free cash flow of DKK 925m supported the Group's efforts to further increase its financial maneuverability. Commenting on the interim report, President & CEO Niels B. Christiansen says: Our performance remains strong. The Core & Clear strategy is producing results, and our general underlying business is sound. We're delivering good results under the current market conditions, and our full-year guidance is unchanged. As expected, the second quarter proved to be better than the first, and we expect to continue improving our performance in the second half. I would like to note that we are again expanding in the important BRIC growth markets. Also, we are pleased that we have gained full ownership of Sauer-Danfoss and about the stronger position of the overall Group that we are already experiencing from that transaction. Danfoss has proven ability to seize growth opportunities as they arise. Consequently, earlier this year, Danfoss acquired the remaining shares in the joint venture Danfoss Turbocor Compressors; which has introduced a new energy-saving technology to the market. Also, the district heating business in Russia shows fast growth, and is almost at par with the net sales level throughout Europe. Generally, Danfoss enjoys strong demand for its energy and climate efficiency solutions in both Russia and Brazil, both markets generating double-digit growth rates. Furthermore, and the Group has also regained momentum in China. However, like the rest of the industry, we are also seeing slowing demand in the United States and Europe. The most distinct example of this is the European market for solar panels, which has virtually collapsed after a period of considerable uncertainty and changes to the politically induced framework conditions. That makes it very difficult to predict how the market will develop for the rest of the year, explains Niels B. Christiansen. In fact, the challenges encountered in the solar panel market are the main reason why the Danfoss Group's financial results were not quite in line with last year's. In addition, growth is to some extent deriving from other regions and business units than the Group had expected and had positioned the organization for. This is the reason why we continually adapt our businesses to current markets; so that we can maintain Danfoss' long-term position as an attractive place to work and a competitive business that delivers strong results year after year. Our ambitions for long-term growth are intact, says Niels B. Christiansen. Danfoss expects the global financial uncertainty prevailing in the first half of 2013 to continue for the rest of the year, causing sustained low visibility. Danfoss markets are expected to see modest overall growth with climate and energy solutions and globalization as the primary growth trends. At the same time, Danfoss expects a slightly stronger H2 performance, in part due to continuous enhancement of operations and the continuing implementation of the Core & Clear strategy. H highlights H1 net sales were DKK 16,815m against DKK 17,222m in H1 2012, equal to a 2% decline that was mainly due to developments in the solar inverter business. Operating profit (EBIT before other operating income/expenses) amounted to DKK 1,665m compared to DKK 1,833m in the yearearlier period. The Group expects developments in the second half of 2013 to boost operating profit. The free cash flow amounted to DKK 925m compared to DKK 664m for the same period last year, lifted by improvements to the Group's investment activities and by the cash flow from operating activities relative to earnings remaining at an extremely high level. Outlook for 2013 The Group maintains the full-year guidance for 2013: Net sales for 2013 are expected to grow at a modest rate. Operating profit for 2013 is expected to grow in line with net sales.

5 Interim report for the first half of 2013 Danfoss delivered a satisfactory first-half performance under the still challenging global market conditions. Despite an improved Q2 compared to Q1, the H revenue and EBIT ended just short of last year's strong H1 performance. The Group used the strong free cash flow to strengthen its financial maneuverability. Financial review Danfoss generated net sales of DKK 16,815m in what was a solid performance despite also being a 2% drop from the strong H showing of DKK 17,222m. Q2 was stronger than Q1 and came close to Q2 last year.

Sales fell by 6% and 8% respectively in the traditional US and European markets. Group sales in the EU and Germany, its biggest market suffered severely with the plunging demand for solar panels caused by widespread uncertainty and changes to the politically induced framework conditions. On the other hand, the Group's long-term strategy of focusing on the BRIC countries produced successful results in the first six months of the year, the sales improvement almost offsetting the setback in the traditional markets. At 32%, Brazil provided the most remarkable sales growth of the BRIC countries with a diversified improvement covering several business units. Danfoss extended the string of double-digit sales growth in the Russian market, at Page 5

6 Impressive growth in Russia and Brazil Revenue recovering in China Sauer-Danfoss slowing sales decline in China a 19% improvement driven mainly by strong demand for district heating solutions. India was also a positive performer, and China regained its momentum at 6% sales growth. The Sauer-Danfoss business segment reported a 4% drop in sales that was mainly due to the slowing US market. The sales drop in China resulting from the Chinese authorities' attempts to achieve a controlled deceleration of the construction sector has been slowed in The Climate & Energy segment retained sales at the high level reported for H The Group's operating profit (EBIT) amounted to DKK 1,545m against DKK 1,812m in H EBIT before other operating income/expenses, this item being stated exclusive of extraordinary non-recurring costs of acquiring the outstanding shares in Sauer-Danfoss Inc. amounted to DKK 1,665m against DKK 1,833m in H Through due care and diligence and by continually adapting costs to market demand, Danfoss successfully maintained its EBIT margin. The Group expects earnings to improve throughout the rest of 2013 as the full effects of these initiatives gradually materialize. Balance sheet Total assets amounted to DKK 28,450m against DKK 29,723m. Equity ratio was at June 30, % against 45% at June 30, In Q2, Danfoss carried through the planned acquisition of the remaining 24% shares in Sauer-Danfoss Inc. As a result of the international accounting rules (IFRS), equity was DKK 10,445m at the half-year against DKK 13,399m at half-year This is due to the fact that, previously, minority interests were recognized in the equity, and their market value has increased since the valuation in Net interest-bearing debt was DKK 6,721m against DKK 4,778m at June 30, This change was also due to Danfoss taking full ownership of Sauer-Danfoss Inc. The current debt level corresponds to 1.2 x EBITDA for the last four quarters. The Group still considers this to be a satisfactory level. Danfoss maintains strong free cash flow Danfoss continues to invest in innovation Cash flows The free cash flow amounted to DKK 925m at June 30, 2013 against DKK 664m a year earlier. The amount consisted of a cash inflow from operating activities of DKK 1,265m and a cash outflow from investing activities of DKK 340m. Innovation Danfoss continues to invest in research and development. The total amount invested was DKK 695m compared to DKK 647m last year.

9 Corporate Citizenship Resource consumption and CO2 emissions Danfoss continued its efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in accordance with the target of reducing emissions by 25% relative to the 2007-level by In other words, the goal is to reduce CO2 emissions to less than 135,000 metric tons by In the first six months of 2013, Danfoss emitted approximately 62,115 metric tons of CO2 against 62,950 metric tons in the same period of Total energy consumption for the reporting period was 645 TJ compared to 636 TJ in H Electricity consumption was approximately 96.5 million kwh in H1 2012, which was 5% less than in the year-earlier period. Energy consumed for heating purposes increased by 10% relative to the first half of Danfoss consumed approximately 281,400 m 3 of water for processes and sanitary purposes, a 9% reduction relative to the year-earlier period. Responsible supplier management As part of its dedicated efforts, Danfoss will retain its focus in 2013 on ensuring that previously audited suppliers resolve any issues identified in a satisfactory manner. At the same time, the process of having all existing suppliers sign the Danfoss Code of Conduct continues. Danfoss continually reviews and adapts its purchasing organization and its supplier management tools. Prior to being approved as a new supplier of goods used in Danfoss products, suppliers are required to sign the Code of Conduct and undergo an initial audit to ensure that the supplier meets all Danfoss standards, requirements and expectations. In the first half of 2013, signed Codes of Conduct were collected from a total of 431 suppliers, and 60 audits were conducted, of which 22 were initial audits and 38 were follow-up audits. A total of 84% of all suppliers of goods used in Danfoss products have now signed the Danfoss Code of Conduct, and audits have been performed at 24% of these suppliers. Among suppliers in high-risk countries, signatures have been collected from 90% and 41% have been audited. Work-related lost time accidents The number of accidents entailing more than one day's absence was 46 in H against 55 in the same period last year. At the same time, the accident frequency, which is calculated as the number of accidents per one million working hours, fell to 7.8 from 8.7 in H Absence caused by work-related accidents, expressed as the number of lost days per 1,000 work days, fell to 0.9 from 1.2 in H The average absence period for employees involved in a work-related accident was 14 days in H against 17 days in H Page 9

10 Outlook Danfoss expects the global financial uncertainty prevailing in the first half of 2013 to persist throughout the rest of the year, causing sustained low visibility. Danfoss markets are expected to see modest overall growth with climate and energy solutions and globalization as the primary growth trends. At the same time, Danfoss expects to retain profitability through ongoing operational improvements and the targeted strategic initiatives already launched. Net sales for 2013 are thus expected to grow at a modest rate. Operating profit for 2013 is expected to grow in line with net sales. Page 10

12 Danfoss Climate & Energy Danfoss Climate & Energy consists of five divisions: Danfoss Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Controls, Danfoss Power Electronics, Danfoss Heating Solutions, Danfoss Commercial Compressors, and Danfoss District Energy. All divisions are leading players within the climate and energy sector. The segment is focused on providing energy-efficient and climate-friendly solutions for a range of selected business sectors. The divisions play leading roles within research, development, production, sales and service of mechanical and electronic products sold on the global market for cooling and air-conditioning, comfort and heating, control of electric motors and for a number of industries where energy efficiency is important. Net sales were maintained at DKK 10,665m against DKK 10,709m in H As expected, the second quarter proved to be better than the first, and performance is expected to continue improving in the second half of the year. The Climate & Energy segment reported improvements in all BRIC countries, with Russia and Brazil as the strongest of the growth markets at 21% and 29% improvements. Sales were up by 7% in China and unchanged in India. Sales in the United States and Europe declined by 11% and 9%, respectively. The setback in the EU markets was predominantly due to the downturn of the solar inverter business caused by uncertainty regarding changes to the framework conditions for solar panels in Europe as well as changes to German and Danish subsidy schemes. Operating profit (EBIT) was DKK 885m against DKK 982m in H The EBIT margin was 8.3% against 9.2%.

13 Sauer-Danfoss Sauer-Danfoss has four divisions: Hydrostatics, Work Function, Controls, and Stand Alone. Sauer-Danfoss is a global leader in the design, manufacture and sale of energy-efficient and performance-enhancing hydraulic and electronic systems and components, primarily for mobile applications. The company operates within the following business areas: Agriculture, Construction, Material Handling, Turf Care, and Specialty Equipment. Sauer-Danfoss began 2013 with prospects of a rather volatile market, due to a general decline in the construction industry. Net sales were down by 4% from DKK 6,260m in the very strong first half of 2012 to DKK 5,991m in H The slump has led to a drop in sales in Sauer- Danfoss' biggest market, the United States. On the other hand, sales in Brazil were boosted by 36% and were maintained in China, both also important markets for Sauer-Danfoss. Overall sales developments were satisfactory and in line with Danfoss' expectations when the Group acquired the outstanding shares in Sauer-Danfoss.
