CEOʼS COMMENTS
Record earnings
In Q2 2023, the Volvo Group continued to perform well, with 
continued growth and improved profitability. We increased our net 
sales by 18% to SEK 140.8 billion and the adjusted operating 
income by SEK 8.0 billion to SEK 21.7 billion, corresponding to an 
adjusted operating margin of 15.4% (11.6). Thanks to a strong 
commercial focus, we have been successful in improving margins 
while managing cost inflation and increased disturbances in the 
supply chain. Return on capital employed rose to 30.2% (26.8).
Transport volumes and infrastructure activity remain on good levels 
in most of our markets, but have come down from recent highs. Our 
service sales grew by 11% adjusted for currency supported by 
continued good vehicle and machine utilization at our customers and 
our own efforts to develop service offers that keep our customersʼ 
trucks and businesses moving.
Our Industrial Operations generated an operating cash flow of SEK 
12.6 billion (7.2) and at the end of the quarter we had a net cash 
position of SEK 61.6 billion, excluding pension and lease liabilities. A 
good profitability and strong finances are crucial for us to be able to 
continue investing in, and taking advantage of, the biggest 
technological shift ever in our industries.
In Q2, order intake for new trucks declined by 10% to 48,300 
vehicles, which reflects the fact that we have continued to be 
restrictive in slotting orders and also more cautiousness among 
customers. Deliveries on the other hand, increased by 5% compared 
to the previous year and amounted to 63,800 trucks. This is the 
result of hard work across the whole value chain to handle continued 
supply disturbances. Net sales in our truck business grew by 19% to 
SEK 93.7 billion, with strong sales in almost all regions. The adjusted 
operating margin increased to 15.9% (12.2).
Construction Equipmentʼs net sales increased by 12% to SEK 29.0 
billion with a good development for our Volvo products and the 
adjusted operating margin rose to 18.5% (13.8). However, there are 
signs of demand weakening in some markets due to the overall 
economic development and rising interest rates, which is cooling 
down the activity especially within residential construction. Order 
intake decreased by 41%, which is a consequence of lower demand 
in Europe and China as well as us having been restrictive in our order 
slotting. 
In Q2, net sales in the Bus segment rose by 34% and amounted to 
SEK 5.4 billion, driven by a continued rebound for coaches and an 
improvement in the service business. The adjusted operating margin 
improved to 4.0% (0.2). To secure the competitiveness of our Nova 
Bus business, we have decided to focus on Canada and end the 
production of buses in the US, which has been loss-making, by Q1 
2025.
"We continue to push innovation and investments to 
stay in the forefront of the transformation. The 
importance of performing today to be able to 
transform for tomorrow will be decisive for the years 
to come."
Volvo Penta's net sales rose by 18% to SEK 5.4 billion on a 
softening market. The adjusted operating margin amounted to 
14.8% (15.2).
For Volvo Financial Services, the credit portfolio continued to grow 
and credit losses remained low, reflecting good customer 
profitability. The adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 916 M 
(792).
We are gradually entering into a more normalized demand situation 
with record strong profitability and high operational performance. At 
the same time, we continue to push innovation and investments to 
stay in the forefront of the transformation. The importance of 
performing today to be able to transform for tomorrow will be 
decisive for the years to come. This will benefit our customers, our 
shareholders and society as a whole, today and in the future.

===== SIDA 4 =====

FINANCIAL SUMMARY OF THE SECOND QUARTER 2023
Net sales
In Q2 2023, the Volvo Groupʼs net sales amounted to SEK 140,821 
M compared with SEK 118,943 M in the same quarter the preceding 
year. Sales increased in all business areas and in almost all regions.
  Adjusted for currency movements, net sales increased by 11%, of 
which vehicle sales increased by 12% and service sales by 11%.
Operating income
In Q2 2023, adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 21,732 M 
(13,745), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 15.4% 
(11.6).
  The adjusted operating income in Q2 2023  excludes a negative 
effect of SEK 1,270 M from a previously announced restructuring 
provision in Nova Bus in the Group Functions & Other segment and 
costs of SEK 6,000 M relating to claims arising from the European 
Commission's 2016 antitrust settlement decision in the Trucks 
segment. For more information, please see Legal Proceedings in 
Note 2. There were no adjustments in Q2 2022 . For more 
information on adjusted operating income, please also see Note 6.
  Compared with Q2 2022, the higher adjusted operating income is 
mainly an effect of price realization and favorable brand and product 
mix. This was partly offset by higher material costs, increased R&D 
expenses and lower production efficiency. 
  Currency movements, compared with Q2 2022 , had a positive 
impact of SEK 817 M.
   Reported operating income in Q2 2023 amounted to SEK 14,462 
M (13,745).

Financial items
In Q2 2023 , interest income was SEK 572 M (182) as a 
consequence of higher interest on financial assets, whereas interest 
expenses amounted to SEK 262 M (277).
  Other financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -362 M 
(222). The change is primarily due to revaluation effects of financial 
assets and liabilities.
Income taxes
In Q2 2023, income taxes amounted to SEK 3,591 M (3,352). The 
tax rate was 25% (24).
Income for the period and earnings per share
In Q2 2023 , income for the period amounted to SEK 10,819 M 
(10,520). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 5.30 (5.14).
Operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations
During Q2 2023 , operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations 
was positive in an amount of SEK 12,553 M (7,199). Compared with 
Q2 2022, the increased operating cash flow is primarily related to 
the improved earnings, partly offset by higher inventories.

Volvo Group financial position
During Q2 2023, net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, 
excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease 
liabilities, decreased by SEK 16.1 billion resulting in a net financial 
asset position of SEK 61.6 billion (44.2) on June 30, 2023. The 
change is mainly explained by the dividend paid to AB Volvo 
shareholders of SEK 28.5 billion and the positive operating cash flow 
of SEK 12.6 billion. Currency movements increased net financial 
assets by SEK 1.1 billion.
  Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease 
liabilities, the Industrial Operations net financial assets amounted to 
SEK 47.8 billion (38.0) on June 30, 2023. During Q2 2023, 
remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans had a positive 
impact of SEK 0.9 billion. The remeasurements were primarily an 
effect of higher discount rates, partly offset by lower return on 
assets.
   On June 30, 2023, total equity for the Volvo Group amounted to 
SEK 165.8 billion compared with SEK 166.2 billion at year-end 
2022. The equity ratio was 24.4% (26.4). On the same date the 
equity ratio in the Industrial Operations amounted to 32.0% (34.1).

Net sales and operating income
In Q2 2023, the truck operationʼs net sales amounted to SEK 
93,748 M, which was 19% higher than in Q2 2022. Excluding 
currency effects, net sales increased by 12% with sales of vehicles 
increasing by 13% and sales of services by 8%.
  Adjusted operating income increased to SEK 14,950 (9,551), 
corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 15.9% (12.2). 
Adjusted operating income excludes costs of SEK 6,000 M relating 
to claims arising from the European Commissionʼs 2016 antitrust 
settlement decision. For more information, please see Legal 
Proceedings in Note 2. There were no adjustments in Q2 2022. For 
more information on adjusted operating income, see Note 6.
   Compared with Q2 2022, the higher adjusted operating income is 
primarily an effect of price realization, which was partly offset by 
increased material costs and R&D expenses as well as lower 
production efficiency. Compared with Q2 2022, currency 
movements had a positive impact of SEK 633 M. Reported 
operating income amounted to SEK 8,950 M (9,551).
Important events
In May, Volvo Trucks signed a letter of intent to sell 1,000 electric 
trucks until 2030 to Holcim, one of the worldʼs largest building 
solution providers. The deal is the largest commercial order to date

Record earnings despite 
lower deliveries
• In Q2, deliveries decreased by 24%, primarily due to China
• Both adjusted and reported operating income increased to SEK 
5,353 M (3,568), with a margin of 18.5% (13.8)
• Service sales increased by 4%, adjusted for currency
Market development
Overall, the development in major markets outside of China 
continued to be good in Q2, with growth in North America, flat 
markets in Europe and Asia outside of China, while South America 
continued to be weak.
   In the North American market, demand continued to be solid with 
the continued execution of large infrastructure projects and strong 
commercial construction more than offsetting a weakness in 
residential construction amid high interest rates.
   In Europe, market growth has flattened in line with a weaker 
macroeconomic outlook, an elevated inflation and higher interest 
rates.
   In South America, investment levels remain low in Brazil due to 
weak business confidence among customers.
   The Chinese market continued to have a significant negative 
correction due to the prebuy effect related to the emissions 
regulations change at the end of last year in addition to lower 
economic activity.
   Development in other Asian markets were positive due to growth in 
India and the Middle East more than offsetting a weakness in 
markets such as South Korea and Thailand.
Orders and deliveries
In Q2, net order intake declined by 41%. Order intake continued to 
be heavily impacted by low order intake in China reflecting a weaker 
market and the prebuy in Q4 last year. Cautiousness among 
customers and dealers in Europe also impacted order intake 
negatively. Order intake in North America decreased due to 
restrictive order slotting.
   In Q2, deliveries decreased by 24% as a consequence of lower 
demand in China and a slowdown in Brazil. Deliveries increased in 
Europe and more substantially in North America supported by 
favorable market conditions.

Net sales and operating income
In Q2 2023, net sales increased by 12% to SEK 28,999 M 
(25,814). Adjusted for currency movements net sales increased 
by 7%, of which sales of machines were up by 7% and service 
sales by 4%.
   Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
5,353 M (3,568), corresponding to an operating margin of 18.5% 
(13.8). Compared with Q2 2022, the higher operating income is 
an effect of positive brand and product mix and price realization, 
which were partially offset by decreased volumes and lower 
production efficiency as well as higher R&D and selling expenses. 
Compared with Q2 2022, currency movements had a positive 
impact of SEK 229 M.
Important events 
During Q2, Volvo Construction Equipment announced the 
creation of a new dedicated business unit for its range of compact

Strong sales in a softening market
• In Q2, net sales increased by 18%, while order intake 
decreased by 11%
• Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
804 M (699), with a margin of 14.8% (15.2)
• Innovative news for net zero transformation in both marine and 
industrial segments
       
In Q2, a continued weakening demand for smaller boats caused a 
slight decline in the marine leisure segment. In the marine 
commercial segment, the market for supply boats and patrol vessels 
continued to be strong. Demand for power generation solutions was 
still high but with signs of normalization as the global energy 
situation has stabilized. The construction market, especially in China, 
as well as mining and material handling declined while demand in 
agriculture, forestry and special vehicles remained on good levels.
  Compared with Q2 2022, net order intake decreased by 11% 
impacted by uncertainty in the market, which makes some 
customers therefore shorten their planning horizons. Deliveries 
decreased by 3%.
   Net sales increased by 18% to SEK 5,416 M (4,597). Adjusted for 
currency movements, net sales increased by 11%, of which sales of 
engines increased by 10% and sales of services by 13%.
   Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
804 M (699), corresponding to an operating margin of 14.8% 
(15.2). 
  Price realization and a favorable product mix contributed positively, 
while higher material costs, increased selling expenses and lower 
production efficiency had a negative effect. Compared with Q2 
2022, the currency impact on operating income was positive in an 
amount of SEK 145 M.
  Several innovative news were launched in both marine and 
industrial segments. In June, media, dealers, and boat owners were 
invited by Groupe Beneteau and Volvo Penta to test a new hybrid 
electric experience onboard a Jeanneau NC 37 yacht with the aim to 
gather insights for data-driven continued development.
  The Volvo Penta Inboard Performance System (IPS) professional 
platform was introduced, offering a powerful and flexible solution for 
professional vessels and superyachts from 25 to 55+ meters. The 
platform is prepared for a range of energy sources.
  An enhanced Volvo Penta joystick, which integrates steering, 
throttle, and shift into a single  control, was also announced.
  The longstanding partnership with Fantuzzi Team Material Handling 
was expanded into electrification of forklifts ranging from 26 to 55 
tonnes.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
Growing portfolio with good earnings
• In Q2, new business volume increased 6%, adjusted for 
currency 
• Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
916 M (792)
• Stable portfolio performance
In Q2 2023, Volvo Financial Services continued to grow the credit 
portfolio and increase earnings.
   Compared with Q2 2022, new business volume excluding Russia 
and Belarus was up by 6%, currency adjusted, primarily due to 
higher sales of Group products, although penetration declined in a 
competitive environment. Adjusted for currency, the credit portfolio 
grew by 19% on a year over year basis.
   Portfolio performance remained stable in most parts of the world 
due to continued high transport volumes and infrastructure activity 
levels.
   Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
916 M (792). The increase in operating income is primarily a result of 
continued profitable portfolio growth, which was partially offset by 
spread compression. Currency movements had a negative impact of 
SEK 17 M compared with Q2 2022.
   Return on equity amounted to 10.7% (3.5). Excluding Russia and 
Belarus, return on equity amounted to 13.9% (17.0).

NOTE 2 | RISKS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Each of the Volvo Groupʼs Business Areas and Truck Divisions 
monitors and manages risks in its operations. In addition, the Volvo 
Group utilizes a centralized Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) 
reporting process, which is a systematic and structured framework 
for reporting and reviewing risk assessments and mitigations as well 
as for follow-up on identified risks. 
   The ERM process classifies Volvo Group risks into five categories:
Macro and market related risks  – such as the cyclical nature of the 
commercial vehicles industry, intense competition, extensive 
government regulations, political instability and security;
Operational risks – such as transformation and technology risk, new 
business models, risks related to industrial operations, reliance on 
suppliers and scarce materials, cost inflation and price increases, 
cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, strategic transactions such as 
mergers and acquisitions, partnerships and divestments as well as 
residual value commitments; 
Climate and people risks  – such as pandemics, climate and risk 
related to people and culture as well as human rights;
Compliance risks  – such as non-compliance with data protection 
laws, protection and maintenance of intangible assets, legal 
proceedings and corruption and non-compliance with competition 
law; and
Financial risks  – such as insurance coverage, credit risk, pension 
commitments, interest level and currency fluctuations, liquidity risks, 
as well as impairment on goodwill and other intangible assets.
  For a more elaborate description of these risks, please refer to the 
Risk Management section on pages 68-73 in the Volvo Group 
Annual Report 2022.
Risk updates
Short-term risks, when applicable, are also described in the 
respective segment section of this report.
Update on supply situation and inflationary pressure
Our ability to deliver according to market demand depends 
significantly on obtaining a timely and adequate supply of materials, 
components and other vital services, as well as on our ability to 
properly utilize the capacity in the Groupʼs different production and 
services facilities. At present, our supply chain and industrial system 
are strained in many areas due to e.g. shortages of labor, materials 
and components, and transport services. Further strains on the 
supply chain may also evolve from other events, including financial 
distress of suppliers and consequences of the war in Ukraine. There 
might be supply chain disturbances and stoppages in production 
going forward. Such disturbances could lead to higher costs and 
interruptions in production and delivery of Group products and 
services, that could have a material negative impact on the Groupʼs 
financial performance.
  The Group might experience higher input costs from increased 
prices on e.g. purchased material, freight and energy as well as 
higher labor costs. If the Group is unable to compensate for the 
higher input costs through increased prices on products and services 
sold, this could have a negative impact on the Groupʼs financial 
performance.
Accounts receivable
Due to the prevailing business model in the construction equipment 
industry in China, with long payment terms to customers, a 
substantial part of the Volvo Groupʼs accounts receivable is related 
to customers in this market. The weakened Chinese construction 
equipment market is currently impacting customersʼ and dealersʼ 
profitability negatively. This might affect their ability to honor their 
obligations to the Group and may consequently have a material 
adverse effect on the Groupʼs financial result and position.

Detected premature degradation of emissions control component
As previously communicated, the Volvo Group has detected that an 
emissions control component used in certain markets and models, 
may degrade more quickly than expected, affecting the vehicles 
emission performance negatively. The Volvo Group made a provision 
of SEK 7 billion impacting the operating income in Q4 2018, relating 
to the estimated costs to address the issue. Negative cash flow 
effects started in 2019 and will continue in the coming years. The 
Volvo Group will continuously assess the size of the provision as the 
matter develops.
Financial impact from the war in Ukraine
In Q1 2022, the Volvo Group reported that out of the Group's total 
assets related to Russia of approximately SEK 9 billion, SEK 4.1 
billion had been provisioned for and impacting operating income 
negatively in Q1 2022. As of the end of this quarter, the Groupʼs total 
exposure for additional impairment needs related to Russia largely 
remains unchanged. In 2021, approximately 3% of the Groupʼs net 
sales were attributable to Russia.
  The Group follows developments closely, but the situation with 
rapid and sometimes unpredictable changes may persist. No 
predictions can hence be made on the full impact from the war and 
ensuing sanctions on Groupʼs assets in the region or on the general 
economic development. Further write-downs of the Groupʼs assets 
related to Russia may be necessary in the coming periods, which 
could have a materially adverse effect on the Groupʼs financial result, 
cash flow and financial position.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The reported amounts for contingent liabilities reflect a part of Volvo 
Groupʼs risk exposure. Total contingent liabilities as of June 30, 
2023, amounted to SEK 17.8 billion, a decrease of SEK 0.4 billion 
compared to December 31, 2022 . The gross exposure of SEK 17.8 
billion is partly reduced by counter guarantees and collaterals.
Legal proceedings
Starting in January 2011, the Volvo Group, together with a number of 
other truck manufacturers, was investigated by the European 
Commission in relation to a possible violation of EU antitrust rules. In 
July 2016 the European Commission adopted a settlement decision 
against the Volvo Group and other truck manufacturers finding that 
they were involved in an antitrust infringement which, in the case of 
the Volvo Group, covered a 14-year period from 1997 to 2011. The 
Volvo Group paid a monetary fine of EUR 670 million.
  Following the adoption of the European Commissionʼs settlement 
decision, the Volvo Group has received and is defending itself 
against a significant number of private damages claims brought by 
customers and other third parties alleging that they suffered loss, 
directly or indirectly, by reason of the conduct covered in the 
decision. The claims relate primarily to Volvo Group trucks sold 
during the 14-year period of the infringement and, in some cases, to 
trucks sold in certain periods after the infringement ended. Some 
claims have also been made against the Volvo Group that relate to 
trucks sold by other manufacturers. The truck manufacturers subject 
to the 2016 settlement decision are, in most countries, jointly and 
severally liable for any losses arising from the infringement.
  In the region of 3,000 claims are being brought in over 20 
countries (including EU Member States, the United Kingdom, 
Norway and Israel) by large numbers of claimants either acting 
individually or as part of a wider group or class of claimants. Further 
claims may be commenced. The litigation in many countries can be 
expected to run for several years.
  Several hundred thousand trucks sold by the Volvo Group are 
currently subject to claims against it or other truck manufacturers, 
with claimants alleging that the infringement resulted in an increase 
in the prices paid for Volvo Group trucks which directly or indirectly 
caused them loss.
  The Volvo Group maintains its firm view that no damage was 
caused to its customers or any third party by the conduct set out in 
the settlement decision, and in fact, the European Commission did 
not assess any potential effects of the infringement on the market. 
The Volvo Group considers that transaction prices our customers 
paid for their trucks were unaffected by the infringement and were 
the outcome of individual negotiations across all elements of their 
purchasing requirements, including not only the prices for new 
trucks but also (where relevant) associated products and services 
sold together with new trucks such as service contracts, financing, 
buy-back guarantees etc.
  Litigation developments so far have been mixed with some adverse 
outcomes, although uncertainty regarding ultimate exposure to the 
litigation remains high and it is inherent in complex litigation that 
outlooks and risks fluctuate over time. 
  At this stage it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of the 
total liability that could arise from such proceedings given the 
complexity of the claims and the different (and in some cases 
relatively early) stages to which national proceedings have 
progressed. However, the litigation is substantial in scale and any 
adverse outcome or outcomes of some or all of the litigation, 
depending on the nature and extent of such outcomes, may have a 
material negative impact on the Volvo Groupʼs financial results, cash 
flows and financial position. In light of progress in litigations and 
current risks, the Volvo Group has in Q2 2023 recognized a cost of 
SEK 6 billion, besides legal fees to advisors, which relate to aspects 
of the litigation that are currently possible to estimate and where an 
outflow of resources is probable. This is Volvo Group's current 
assessment, which may change as the litigation progresses.

NOTE 3 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
The Volvo Group has not made any acquisitions or divestments of 
operations during Q2 that have had a material impact on the financial 
statements. 
Assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to net SEK 716 M (-) as 
of June 30 2023 , mainly related to planned property divestments 
and divestment of shares in associated companies.
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE 4 | CURRENCY AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
Valuation principles and classifications of Volvo Group financial 
instruments, as described in Volvo Group Annual Report 2022 Note 
30, have been consistently applied throughout the reporting period. 
Financial instruments in the Volvo Group reported at fair value 
through profit and loss consist mainly of interest and currency 
derivatives. Derivatives with positive fair values amounted to SEK 
7.0 billion (6.3) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to 
SEK 10.6 billion (9.0) as of June 30, 2023.
The derivatives are accounted for on gross basis. Financial liabilities 
valued at amortized cost, reported as current and non-current bond 
loans and other loans, amounted to SEK 229.4 billion ( 205.0) in 
reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 225.4 billion (201.3). 
In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities 
include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting 
to SEK 6.8 billion (5.9).

AUDITORʼS REVIEW REPORT
AB Volvo (publ) org. nr 556012-5790
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information 
(interim report) of AB Volvo (publ) as of June 30, 2023 and the 
six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the 
President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of 
the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish 
Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion 
on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International 
Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim 
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of 
the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of 
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and 
applying analytical and other review procedures. A review
has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an 
audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally 
accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a 
review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would 
make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in 
an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review 
does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion 
expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that 
causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material 
respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and 
the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in 
accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
