All change figures in this release compare to the same period of the previous year except when stated otherwise.

Key business developments in the second quarter of 2024

•Second quarter sales increased organically* by 0.7%, which was 1.4ppbetter than global LVP decline of 0.7% (S&P Global July 2024). We outperformed in Asia excl. China and in Europe, mainly due to product launches and pricing while we underperformed in Americas and in China, mainly due to lower light vehicle production with certain key customers, as a consequence of weaker sales and inventory reductions. In China, the LVP mix was negative as several models with limited Autoliv content grew strongly.

•Profitability improved despite a slight net sales decline. Sales were lower than expected, which impacted our profitability in the quarter with an operating leverage at the high end of our normal 20%-30% range. Profits improved mainly due to the successful execution of cost reductions and increased pricing. Indirect headcount continued to decrease. Operating income was $206 million and operating margin was 7.9%. Adjusted operating income* improved to $221 million and adjusted operating margin* increased from 8.0% to 8.5%. Return on capital employed was 21.0% and adjusted return on capital employed* was 22.5%.

•Operating cash flow was strong, at $340 million, albeit slightly below last year as Q2 last year was supported by positive timing effects. Free cash flow* of $194 million was thereby also down somewhat compared to last year. The leverage ratio* improved to 1.2x. In the quarter, a dividend of $0.68 per share was paid, and 1.31 million shares were repurchased and retired.

Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO
	In the second quarter, profitability continued to improve despite a slight decline in net sales. The improvement was driven by better pricing and successful execution of cost reductions, with indirect headcount reduced by 1,100 since the start of the program. We have settled cost compensation claims with a majority of	We continued to outperform LVP significantly in Asia excluding China and in Europe, fueled by product launches and better pricing. In Americas, we underperformed slightly, as some key customers reduced production. We continue to expand our business with domestic Chinese OEMs, positioning us well to benefit from the new structure of the Chinese market. Domestic Chinese OEMs accounted for 38% of our China sales in Q2. We grew sales to this group by 39% in Q2 vs. a year ago, and by 25% vs. the previous quarter. However, the market developed unfavorably in Q2, with sales for certain brands and models with low Autoliv content growing strongly, while some of our key global customers production declined significantly, leading to 7pp underperformance in China. We remain fully focused on delivering on the around 12% adjusted operating margin target, although we adjust our full year 2024 guidance slightly, reflecting changes in LVP and adverse customer mix. We continue to expect a significant increase in profitability in the second half year with an adjusted operating margin of around 11-12% compared to the first half year's 8.0%. The positive development of our cash flow and balance sheet supports our continued commitment to a high level of shareholder returns.
customers and target to close most of the remaining claims in Q3. Return on capital employed was good and cash flow continued to be strong, supporting a high level of shareholder returns and an improvement of the leverage ratio to 1.2x. We remain on track with our strategic and structural initiatives to sustainably strengthen our footprint and operations. However, light vehicle production with certain key customers following weaker sales and inventory adjustments were lower than expected in the quarter, especially in June. The lower than expected sales impacted our profitability with an operating leverage at the high end of our normal 20%-30% range. It is encouraging that customer production plans for the third quarter are normalizing, indicating that the June weakness should be temporary.

Full year 2024 guidance

Our 2024 guidance is mainly based on our customer call-offs, a full year 2024 global LVP decline of around 3%, the achievement of our targeted cost compensation effects, and a sustained reduction in customer call-off volatility.

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.

Financial Report April - June 2024

Business and market condition update

Supply Chain

In the second quarter, global light vehicle production declined by 0.7% year-over-year (according to S&P Global July 2024). Call-off volatility was lower compared to a year earlier, as supply chains are less strained than they were a year ago. However, volatility did not improve compared to the first quarter 2024, and is still higher than pre-pandemic levels. Low customer demand visibility and changes to customer call-offs with short notice had a negative impact on our production efficiency and profitability in the quarter. We continue to expect call-off volatility in 2024 on average to be lower than it was in 2023 but remain higher than the pre-pandemic level.

Inflation

In the second quarter, cost pressure from labor and other items had a negative impact on our profitability. Most of the inflationary cost pressure was offset by price increases and other customer compensations in the quarter. Raw material price changes had a negligible impact on our profitability during the second quarter. We now expect raw material prices in 2024 to increase slightly for the full year. We expect continued cost pressure from inflation relating mainly to labor, especially in Europe and the Americas. We continue to execute on productivity and cost reduction activities to offset these cost pressures, and will continue to seek inflation compensation from our customers.

Second quarter 2024 development Gross profit increased by $28 million, and the gross margin increased by 1.3pp compared to the same quarter 2023.The gross profit increase was primarily driven by lower costs for labor and production overhead, as well as customer compensations and positive FX effects. This was partly offset by higher material costs. S,G&A costs increased by $8 million compared to the prior year, impacted by higher personnel and IT costs as well as higher legal costs.S,G&A costs in relation to sales increased from 4.9% to 5.3%. R,D&E, net costs decreased by $4 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to higher engineering income. R,D&E, net, in relation to sales decreased from 4.6% to 4.5%. Other income (expense), net was negative $14 million mainly due to capacity alignment accruals, compared to negative $103 million in the same period last year. Q2 2023 was negatively impacted by around $109 million in accruals for capacity alignments. Operating income increased by $112 million compared to the same period in 2023, mainly due to lower capacity alignment accruals and the increase in gross profit. Adjusted operating income* increased by $9 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to higher gross profit, partly offset by higher S,G&A costs. Financial and non-operating items, net, was negative $23 million compared to negative $11 million a year earlier. The difference was mainly due to increased interest expense as the result of higher debt and higher interest rates. Income before taxes increased by $100 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to the increase in operating income. Tax rate was 24.1% compared to 35.8% in the same period last year. Discrete tax items, net, decreased the tax rate this quarter by 4.9pp. Discrete tax items, net, decreased the tax rate by 4.5pp in the same period last year. Earnings per share, diluted increased by $1.09 compared to a year earlier. The main drivers were $1.21 from higher operating income and $0.10 from lower number of shares, partly offset by $0.13 from higher income taxes and $0.09 from higher financial and non-operating items, net.

Operating cash flow decreased by $39 million to $340 million compared to the same period last year,mainly due to less positive effects from operating working capital changes. Capital expenditure, net increased by $22 million compared to the same period the previous year. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was 5.6% versus 4.7% a year earlier. Free cash flow* was positive $194 million compared to positive $255 million in the same period the prior year.

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 page 6 present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.

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. 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.

Trade Working capital	$1,169	$1,336	$1,232	$1,303	$1,292

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 of around 1.0x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x.

Free Cash Flow, Net Cash Before Financing and Cash Conversion

Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure “free 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 cash flow, see the reconciliation table below. Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure “net cash before financing” to analyze and disclose the cash flow generation available for servicing external stakeholders such as shareholders and debt stakeholders. For details on net cash before financing, 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 cash flow.

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 table reconciles 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. 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. 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.
