Key business developments in the second quarter of 2025

• Net sales increased organically* by 3.4%, which was 0.7pp higher than the global LVP increase of 2.7% (S&P Global July 2025). Regional and customer LVP mix is estimated to have had about 2.5pp negative impact on sales, while tariff compensations added around 1pp to growth. We outperformed in Americas, Europe and Asia excl. China, mainly due to product launches and tariff compensations. In China, our growth gap vs. LVP was smaller compared to recent quarters, due to improved sales performance with Chinese OEMs. We expect that our record number of new launches will significantly improve our relative sales performance in China in the second half of 2025.
• Profitability improved significantly, mainly due to organic sales growth and successful execution of cost reductions. Total headcount decreased by 5%. We estimate that the negative impact from U.S. tariffs was around 35bps on operating margin, as we managed to pass on most of the tariff costs to our customers. Operating income increased by 20% to $247 million and adjusted operating income* increased by 14% to $251 million. Operating margin was 9.1% and adjusted operating margin* was 9.3%. ROCE was 23.8% and adjusted ROCE* was 24.1%.
• Operating cash flow was lower than last year, as Q2 2024 was boosted by positive, timing related working capital effects, while working capital changes in 2025 were more normal. This was partly offset by lower capex, net. The leverage ratio* of 1.3x is well below our target limit of 1.5x. In the quarter, a dividend of $0.70 per share was paid and 0.5 million shares were repurchased and retired.

Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO
---	---	---
	I am pleased to, in a turbulent market environment, report a record breaking second quarter for sales, operating income and margin as well as EPS. The performance was driven by good sales development coupled with successful actions to reduce costs and achieve tariff compensations. We outperformed in Americas, Europe and Asia	together with continued repurchases of shares, contributed to a 27% increase in EPS. We remain confident that we can continue to successfully receive compensation from our customers for tariffs, although the industry outlook for tariffs is uncertain. We recovered around 80% of tariff costs in the second quarter, and we expect to recover most of what remains later in the year. We continue to closely monitor and evaluate the situation, focusing on being adaptive and agile.<br><br>At our Capital Markets Day in June, we reiterated our financial targets and communicated a new share repurchase program of up to $2.5 billion until the end of 2029 as well as announced a 21% dividend increase for the third quarter to $0.85 per share.

Full year 2025 guidance

In addition to the assumptions and our business and market update noted below, our full year 2025 guidance is based on our customer call-offs, as well as the achievement of our targeted cost compensation adjustments with our customers, including for the new tariffs, no further material changes to tariffs or trade restrictions, as compared to what is in effect as of July 10, 2025, as well as no significant changes in the macro-economic environment, changes to customer call-off volatility or significant supply chain disruptions.

Full year 2025 Guidance
Organic sales growth	Around 3%
Adjusted operating margin1)	Around 10-10.5%
Operating cash flow2)	Around $1.2 billion
Capex, net, % of sales	Around 5%
1) Excluding effects from capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and other discrete items. 2) Excluding unusual items.
Full year 2025 Assumptions
---	---
LVP growth	Around 0.5% negative
FX impact on net sales	Around 0%
Tax rate3)	Around 28%
3) Excluding unusual tax items.

The forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above are provided on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. Autoliv has not provided a U.S. GAAP reconciliation of these measures because items that impact these measures, such as costs and gains related to capacity alignments and antitrust matters, cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and Autoliv is unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Conference call and webcast

The earnings conference call will be held at 2:00 p.m. CET today, July 18, 2025. Information regarding how to participate is available on www.autoliv.com. The presentation slides for the conference call will be available on our website shortly after the publication of this financial report.

Financial Report April - June 2025

Business and market condition update

Supply Chain

In the second quarter of 2025, global LVP increased by 2.7% year-over-year (according to S&P Global July 2025). Call-off volatility improved slightly compared to a year earlier and was comparable to the first quarter of 2025, although it remains higher than pre-pandemic levels. Low customer demand visibility and changes to customer call-offs with short notice, although it improved, continued to have some negative impact on our production efficiency and profitability. We expect call-off volatility in 2025 on average to be slightly lower than it was in 2024 but still remain higher than pre-pandemic levels. However, the continued uncertainty regarding future changes in tariffs and trade restrictions may lead to a more negative call-off volatility environment.

Inflation

In the second quarter, cost pressure from labor and other items impacted our profitability negatively, although to a lesser degree than in the second quarter of 2024. Most of the inflationary cost pressure was offset by price increases and other customer compensations in the quarter. Raw material price changes had a slightly negative impact on our profitability during the quarter. We expect raw material costs in 2025 to be slightly higher than in 2024. We expect cost pressure from general inflation to moderate in 2025, but we still expect some pressure coming mainly from labor, especially in Europe and the Americas and potentially from tariffs. The continued uncertainty regarding effects of tariffs and trade restrictions may lead to a more adverse inflation environment. We continue to execute on productivity and cost reduction initiatives to offset these cost pressures.

Geopolitical risks and tariffs

The effects from the new tariffs imposed in the first quarter did not have a material impact on our profitability in the second quarter, as we achieved customer compensations for almost all tariff costs. It is our ambition and expectation that we will continue to pass on tariff costs to our customers, although there is significant uncertainty. We recovered around 80% of the tariffs in the second quarter, and we expect to recover most of what remains later in the year. The impact of the tariffs not yet recovered on our operating income was around $7 million negative in the quarter. Including the dilutive effect of tariffs recovered, operating margin was negatively impacted by around 35 bps. For the full year 2025, we expect the tariff dilution on our operating margin to be around 20 bps. Geopolitical uncertainties will continue to create a challenging operating environment. We also believe there will be new or increased or changed tariffs or other related trade restrictions imposed in 2025 that may impact our operations and which contributes to the uncertainty of industry expectations. We continue to closely monitor the situation and are prepared to remain agile in responding to any such developments.

Second quarter 2025 development<br><br>Gross profit increased by $27 million, and the gross margin increased by 0.3pp compared to the prior year.

S,G&A costs in relation to sales increased from 5.3% to 5.4%.<br><br>R,D&E, net costs decreased by $9 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to higher engineering income and positive FX translation effects.

First six months 2025 development<br><br>Gross profit increased by $63 million, and the gross margin increased by 0.9pp compared to the prior year. The drivers behind the gross profit improvement were mainly improved operational efficiency with lower costs for labor, premium freight, logistics and waste and scrap. We also had positive effects from the organic sales growth partly offset by negative effects from material costs and un-recovered tariffs.<br><br>S,G&A costs increased by $20 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to increased credit loss reserves following generally higher default risk rate for the automotive industry and higher IT costs, as well as minor cost increases for other items, including personnel costs, partly offset by positive FX translation effects. S,G&A costs in relation to sales increased from 5.2% to 5.5%.<br><br>R,D&E, net costs decreased by $27 million compared to the prior year, with $10 million of the improvement coming from higher engineering income. The decrease was also driven by $7 million from positive FX translation effects and $4 million in lower personnel costs and $4 million in lower costs for professional services. R,D&E, net, in relation to sales decreased from 4.4% to 3.8%.<br><br>Other income (expense), net was positive $14 million, compared to negative $18 million in the same period last year. The improvement compared to last year is due to lower restructuring costs and the recycled accumulated currency translation differences related to the divestment of our idled operations in Russia in Q1 2025.	Operating income increased by $102 million compared to the prior year, due to the higher gross profit, lower costs for R,D&E, net, and the improvement in Other income (expense), partly offset by higher costs for S,G&A, as outlined above.<br><br>Adjusted operating income* increased by $86 million compared to the prior year, due to the higher gross profit, lower costs for R,D&E, net, and the improvement in Other income (expense), partly offset by higher costs for S,G&A, as outlined above.<br><br>Financial and non-operating items, net, was negative $48 million compared to negative $43 million a year earlier. The increase was mainly due to higher interest income in 2024 due to higher cash holdings, and lower other non-operating items, net, in 2025.<br><br>Income before taxes increased by $97 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to the higher operating income.<br><br>Tax rate was 26.1% compared to 25.5% in the prior year. Discrete tax items, net, had a favorable impact of 2.1pp in the first six months of 2025 compared to 3.7pp favorable impact in the same period last year.<br><br>Earnings per share, diluted increased by $1.09 compared to the prior year.

Second quarter 2025 development<br><br>Changes in operating working capital impacted operating cash flow by $15 million positive compared to an impact of $128 million positive in the prior year. The relatively large positive effects from working capital in Q2 last year was related to timing effects while the impact from working capital in Q2 2025 can be considered to be more within normal variations and impacted by higher sales towards the end of the quarter. The working capital decrease in the quarter of $15 million was mainly a result of $113 million in positive effects from accounts payables and accrued expenses, $9 million from deferred income taxes and $4 million from lower inventories. This was partly offset by $110 million in increased receivables partly due to tariff recoveries not yet paid.<br><br>Operating cash flow decreased by $63 million to $277 million compared to the prior year, mainly because of less favorable effects from changes in operating working capital, as outlined above.	Capital expenditure, net decreased by $32 million compared to the prior year. The level of capital expenditure, net, in relation to sales declined to 4.2% versus 5.6% a year earlier. The lower level of capital expenditure, net is mainly related to the lower activity level of footprint optimization in Europe and Americas and less capacity expansion, especially in Asia.<br><br>Free operating cash flow* was positive $163 million compared to positive $194 million in the prior year. The decrease was due to the lower operating cash flow partly offset by the lower capital expenditure, net, as outlined above.<br><br>Cash conversion* defined as free operating cash flow* in relation to net income, was 97% in the quarter compared to 140% a year earlier. The decline was a result of the lower free operating cash flow and higher net income.

Trade working capital* increased by $185 million compared to the prior year, where the main drivers were $251 million in higher accounts receivables, $87 million in higher accounts payable and $21 million in higher inventories. In relation to sales, trade working capital increased from 11.2% to 12.5%. The increase in trade working capital is mainly due to tariffs and increased sales and timing effects last year.<br><br>Net debt* was $1,752 million as of June 30, 2025, which was $172 million higher than a year earlier, mainly due to that in the last twelve months, dividends paid and share repurchases were higher than free operating cash flow as well as due to FX effects.	Total equity as of June 30, 2025, increased by $169 million compared to June 30, 2024. This was mainly due to net income of $717 million and $69 million in positive currency translation effects, partly offset by $337 million in share repurchases, including taxes and $282 million in dividend payments.<br><br>Leverage ratio*: On June 30, 2025, the Company had a leverage ratio of 1.3x compared to 1.2x on June 30, 2024, following that the 12 months trailing adjusted EBITDA* increased by around $103 million while net debt* per the policy increased by around $324 million.

First six months 2025 development<br><br>Operating cash flow decreased by $107 million to $355 million compared to the prior year, mainly because the increase in operating working capital was larger than the increase in net income.<br><br>Capital expenditure, net decreased by $78 million compared to the prior year. The level of capital expenditure, net, in relation to sales declined to 3.9% versus 5.5% a year earlier. The lower level of capital expenditure, net is mainly related to the lower activity level of footprint optimization in Europe and Americas and less capacity expansion, especially in Asia.

The decrease was due to the lower operating cash flow partly offset by the lower capital expenditure, net, as outlined above.<br><br>Cash conversion* defined as free operating cash flow* in relation to net income, was 44% for the period, compared to 66% in the prior year. The decline was a result of the lower free operating cash flow and higher net income.

RECONCILIATION OF U.S. GAAP TO NON-U.S. GAAP MEASURES

In this report we sometimes refer to non-U.S. GAAP measures that we and securities analysts use in measuring Autoliv's performance. We believe that these measures assist investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company's business for the reasons given below. Investors should not consider these non-U.S. GAAP measures as substitutes, but rather as additions, to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should be noted that these measures, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Components in Sales Increase/Decrease

Since the Company historically generates approximately 75% of sales in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e., U.S. dollars) and currency rates have been volatile, we analyze the Company's sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates. The tables on pages 5 and 6 present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.

Reconciliation of GAAP measure "Working Capital" to Non-GAAP Measure "Trade Working Capital"

Due to the need to optimize cash generation to create value for shareholders, management focuses on operationally derived trade working capital as defined in the table below. Trade working capital is an indicator of operational efficiency, which impacts the Company’s ability to return value to shareholders either through dividends or share repurchases. We believe this is useful for readers to understand the efficiency of the Company’ operational capital management. The reconciling items used to derive this measure are, by contrast, managed as part of our overall management of cash and debt, but they are not part of the responsibilities of day-to-day operations management.

Net Debt

Autoliv from time to time enters into “debt-related derivatives” (DRDs) as a part of its debt management and as part of efficiently managing the Company’s overall cost of funds. Creditors and credit rating agencies use net debt adjusted for DRDs in their analyses of the Company’s debt, therefore we provide this non-U.S. GAAP measure. DRDs are fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the underlying debt. Also included in the DRDs is the unamortized fair value adjustment related to a discontinued fair value hedge that will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt. By adjusting for DRDs, the total financial liability of net debt is disclosed without grossing debt up with currency or interest fair values.

Leverage ratio

The non-U.S. GAAP measure “net debt” is also used in the non-U.S. GAAP measure “Leverage ratio”. Management uses this measure to analyze the amount of debt the Company can incur under its debt policy. Management believes that this policy also provides guidance to credit and equity investors regarding the extent to which the Company would be prepared to leverage its operations. Autoliv’s policy is to maintain a leverage ratio commensurate with a strong investment grade credit rating. The Company measures its leverage ratio as net debt* adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to adjusted EBITDA*. The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio equal to or below 1.5x.

Reconciliation of GAAP measure "Operating cash flow" to "Free operating cash flow" and "Cash conversion"

Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure “free operating cash flow” to analyze the amount of cash flow being generated by the Company’s operations after capital expenditure, net. This measure indicates the Company’s cash flow generation level that enables strategic value creation options such as dividends or acquisitions. For details on free operating cash flow, see the reconciliation table below. Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure “cash conversion” to analyze the proportion of net income that is converted into free operating cash flow. The measure is a tool to evaluate how efficiently the Company utilizes its resources. For details on cash conversion, see the reconciliation table below.

Items Affecting Comparability

We believe that comparability between periods is improved through the exclusion of certain items. To assist investors in understanding the operating performance of Autoliv's business, it is useful to consider certain U.S. GAAP measures exclusive of these items.

The following tables reconcile Income before income taxes, Net income attributable to controlling interest, Capital employed, which are inputs utilized to calculate Return On Capital Employed (“ROCE”), adjusted ROCE and Return On Total Equity (“ROE”). The Company believes this presentation may be useful to investors and industry analysts who utilize these adjusted non-U.S. GAAP measures in their ROCE and ROE calculations to exclude certain items for comparison purposes across periods. Autoliv’s management uses the ROCE, adjusted ROCE and ROE measures for purposes of comparing its financial performance with the financial performance of other companies in the industry and providing useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.

As used by the Company, ROCE is annualized operating income and income from equity method investments, relative to average capital employed. Adjusted ROCE is annualized operating income and income from equity method investments, relative to average capital employed as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring items. See definitions of "annualized operating income" and "average capital employed" in footnote to the tables below. The Company believes ROCE and adjusted ROCE are useful indicators of long-term performance both absolute and relative to the Company's peers as it allows for a comparison of the profitability of the Company’s capital employed in its business relative to that of its peers.

ROE is the ratio of annualized income (loss) relative to average total equity for the periods presented. See definitions of "annualized income" and "average total equity" in footnote to the tables below. The Company’s management believes that ROE is a useful indicator of how well management creates value for its shareholders through its operating activities and its capital management.

With respect to the Andrews litigation settlement, the Company has treated this specific settlement as a non-recurring charge because of the unique nature of the lawsuit, including the facts and legal issues involved.

Accordingly, the tables below reconcile from U.S. GAAP to the equivalent non-U.S. GAAP measure.
