CEOʼS COMMENTS
Strong sales and earnings
In Q3 2023, the Volvo Group continued to deliver improved results, 
margins and profitability. Adjusted for currency, our net sales grew 
by 9% to SEK 132.4 billion and we increased the adjusted operating 
income to SEK 19.1 billion (11.9), corresponding to an adjusted 
operating margin of 14.4% (10.3). We have successfully mitigated 
cost inflation with price management and continued to handle 
disturbances in the supply chain. Return on capital employed 
increased to 33.7% (27.4).
Our service sales grew by 10% adjusted for currency on the back of 
both continued good activity levels at our customers and our own 
focus on developing the service business.
   Operating cash flow in our Industrial Operations amounted to SEK 
5.6 billion (14.6), impacted by an increase in working capital. At the 
end of the quarter, we had net financial assets of SEK 65.2 billion, 
excluding pension and lease liabilities.
In Q3, order intake of new trucks declined by 27% to 47,202 
vehicles, reflecting a gradual normalization of demand and our 
continued gradual opening of order books. Deliveries on the other 
hand, increased by 4% compared to the previous year and 
amounted to 55,274 trucks. We expect our major truck markets to 
continue to be strong throughout this year as we continue to deliver 
from our large order books to customers, but forecast lower market 
levels for next year. Also in Q3, supply disturbances affected 
productivity and costs, but had limited effect on deliveries thanks to 
hard work by colleagues in the Group and across the value chain. Net 
sales in our truck business grew by 13% adjusted for currency and 
amounted to SEK 89.9 billion, with strong sales in almost all 
regions. The adjusted operating margin increased to 15.6% (9.7).
Construction Equipmentʼs net sales of SEK 24.3 billion were on the 
same level as last year, with strong deliveries in North America and 
continued weak demand in China. The adjusted operating margin 
amounted to 15.4% (15.6). However, demand is weakening in some 
markets and segments on the back of higher interest rates and an 
overall economic slowdown. Order intake decreased by 27%, 
because of lower demand in Europe and China whereas North 
America had a very strong order intake following the opening of 
order books for 2024.
Net sales in Buses rose by 6% adjusted for currency and amounted 
to SEK 5.4 billion, supported by a continued recovery in demand for 
coaches and a good development in the service business. The 
adjusted operating margin improved to 6.3% (2.0).
Despite somewhat weaker market conditions, Volvo Penta had a 
solid performance with net sales rising by 5%, currency adjusted, to 
SEK 5.0 billion and an adjusted operating margin that improved to 
15.9% (13.3).
For Volvo Financial Services, the credit portfolio continued to grow 
and credit losses remained low, reflecting continued good financial 
health at customers. The adjusted operating income amounted to 
SEK 1.1 billion (0.9).
"We are driving the development in digitalization, 
electromobility and autonomy towards our net zero 
commitments with more efficient transport and 
infrastructure solutions. Our ability to maintain 
strong profitability is essential to keep the 
investment pace needed in the transformation of our 
industries."
In the quarter, we achieved a milestone in autonomous solutions 
with the removal of the safety driver in an active commercial mining 
operation at the Brönnöy limestone quarry in Norway. We also 
announced that we have entered a long-term collaboration with 
Boliden to implement autonomous transport solutions as a part of 
their operations.
We see a growing demand for clean, efficient, and safe urban 
transportation, and partnerships and collaboration are key to achieve 
this. In October, we announced that we will join forces with Renault 
Group and CMA CGM Group to address this demand with an all-new 
generation of fully electric and software-defined vans and associated 
services. Production is planned to start in 2026.
We are driving the development in digitalization, electromobility and 
autonomy towards our net zero commitments with more efficient 
transport and infrastructure solutions. Our ability to maintain strong 
profitability is essential to keep the investment pace needed in the 
transformation of our industries.

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

FINANCIAL SUMMARY OF THE THIRD QUARTER 2023
Net sales
In Q3 2023, the Volvo Groupʼs net sales amounted to SEK 132,405 
M compared with SEK 114,917 M in the same quarter the preceding 
year. The increase in net sales was mainly driven by Europe and 
North America. All segments increased net sales.
  Adjusted for currency movements, net sales increased by 9%, of 
which vehicle sales increased by 9% and service sales by 10%.
Operating income
In Q3 2023, adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 19,114 M 
(11,869), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 14.4% 
(10.3).
  The adjusted operating income in Q3 2023  excludes a negative 
effect of SEK 794 M from a loss on the divestment of the Group's 
Russian entities. There were no adjustments in Q3 2022. For more 
information on adjusted operating income, please see note 6.
  Compared with Q3 2022, the higher adjusted operating income is 
mainly an effect of price realization. This was partly offset by higher 
production costs as well as increased selling and R&D expenses. 
  Currency movements, compared with Q3 2022 , had a positive 
impact of SEK 1,165 M.
   Reported operating income in Q3 2023 amounted to SEK 18,320 
M (11,869).

Financial items
In Q3 2023 , interest income was SEK 656 M ( 247) as a 
consequence of higher interest on financial assets, whereas interest 
expenses amounted to SEK 272 M (262).
  Other financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -67 M 
(-96). The change is primarily due to revaluation effects of financial 
assets and liabilities.
Income taxes
In Q3 2023, income taxes amounted to SEK 4,543 M (3,071). The 
tax rate was 24% (26).
Income for the period and earnings per share
In Q3 2023 , income for the period amounted to SEK 14,093 M 
(8,687). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 6.93 (4.24).
Operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations
During Q3 2023 , operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations 
was positive in an amount of SEK 5,609 M (14,611). Compared with 
Q3 2022  the lower operating cash flow is primarily related to a 
higher buildup of working capital, which was partly counterbalanced 
by the increased operating income.

Volvo Group financial position
During Q3 2023 , net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, 
excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease 
liabilities, increased by SEK 3.6 billion resulting in a net financial 
asset position of SEK 65.2 billion on September 30, 2023 . The 
change is mainly explained by a positive operating cash flow of SEK 
5.6 billion. Currency movements decreased net financial assets by 
SEK 0.5 billion. 
 Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease 
liabilities, the Industrial Operations net financial assets amounted to 
SEK 51.6 billion on September 30, 2023 . During Q3 2023 , 
remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans had a positive 
impact of SEK 0.5 billion. The remeasurements were primarily an 
effect of higher discount rates, partly offset by lower return on 
assets.
  On September 30, 2023 , total equity for the Volvo Group 
amounted to SEK 177.2 billion compared with SEK 166.2 billion at 
year-end 2022. The equity ratio was 26.1% ( 26.4). On the same 
date the equity ratio in the Industrial Operations amounted to 35.3% 
(34.1).

Strong earnings
• In Q3, net sales increased by 13% adjusted for currency and 
amounted to SEK 89,848 M

with a margin of 15.6% (9.7)
• Order intake decreased by 27% while deliveries increased 4%
      
Market development
In Q3, truck fleet utilization in Europe and North America continued 
to be on good levels. In both regions, many of the larger fleets 
continue their replacement cycles while smaller companies are more 
cautious on the back of lower freight volumes and freight rates. 
   In South America, the market is down year over year due to the 
prebuy of Euro 5 trucks in 2022. However, after the Euro 6 
introduction on January 1, the market has gradually recovered, 
primarily driven by the agricultural and mining segments. 
   The Indian market continued to grow with the support of increased 
economic activity and good consumer spending.
   In Q3, the truck market in China continued to rebound from low 
levels, but growth is expected to be limited due to the overcapacity 
in the Chinese transport industry. 
Orders and deliveries
In Q3, the Volvo Groupʼs truck brands continued to gradually open 
order books. Total order intake in Q3 decreased by 27% to 47,202 
trucks while total deliveries increased by 4% to 55,274 trucks.
   In Europe, order intake decreased by 35% to 21,154 trucks while 
deliveries increased by 11% to 26,546 trucks. Volvo Trucksʼ total 
heavy-duty market share through August decreased to 17.4% (18.9) 
while the electric heavy-duty market share increased to 48.3% 
(30.5). Renault Trucksʼ heavy-duty total market share decreased to 
8.6% (9.7) and the electric heavy-duty market share decreased to 
19.5% (22.9).
   Order intake in North America decreased by 7% to 17,355 trucks 
while deliveries increased by 13% to 15,041 vehicles. Volvo Trucksʼ

   In South America, order intake decreased by 27% to 4,284 trucks 
and deliveries decreased by 35% to 5,635 vehicles. In Brazil, Volvo 
Trucksʼ heavy-duty truck market share through September 
decreased to 23.7% (25.0).
   Order intake in Asia decreased by 43% to 2,796 vehicles while 
deliveries increased by 7% to 4,842 vehicles. The drop in order 
intake is mainly attributed to the Middle East.
   In Q3, order intake for fully electric trucks increased by 27% to 
1,106 (872) vehicles and deliveries increased by 236% to 796 (237) 
vehicles.
   Order intake in the Indian joint venture, VE Commercial Vehicles, 
increased by 7% to 15,893 vehicles and deliveries increased by 12%

  In Q3 2023, adjusted operating income increased to SEK 14,038 
(7,307), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 15.6% 
(9.7). Adjusted operating income excludes a negative effect of SEK 
640 M from a loss on the divestment of the Russian entities. For 
more information on adjusted operating income, see note 6.
   Compared with Q3 2022, the higher adjusted operating income is 
an effect of price realization whereas higher production costs as well 
as increased R&D and selling expenses had a negative impact. 
Compared with Q3 2022 , currency movements had a positive 
impact of SEK 872 M.
   Reported operating income amounted to SEK 13,397 M (7,539).

Stable earnings and margin
• In Q3, order intake decreased by 27% and deliveries decreased 
by 21%
• Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 3,733 M (3,773), 
with a margin of 15.4% (15.6)
• Service sales increased by 4%, adjusted for currency
Market development
Overall, in Q3 the total market development remained good 
compared to last year in all major markets except Asia. North 
America grew while Europe was stable with some signs of softening 
towards the end of the quarter. Asia outside of China was flat while 
China and Latin America declined.
  The North American market grew supported by continued large 
infrastructure projects and a strong commercial construction sector 
that more than offset weaker residential construction amid rising 
interest rates.
   In Q3, the market in Europe softened somewhat compared to last 
year due to a weakening macroeconomic outlook and increasing 
interest rates.
  The market in South America declined on the back of low 
investment levels in Brazil and low business confidence among 
customers.
   Chinese market demand weakened substantially compared to last 
year driven by a drop in real estate investments and overall slower 
economic activity. Development in other Asian markets was flat with 
increased demand in India, Japan, and the Middle East and a 
slowdown in markets such as South Korea and Indonesia.
Orders and deliveries
In Q3, net order intake declined by 27%. The decline was largely 
driven by lower demand in China following the economic slowdown 
as well as by cautiousness among customers and dealers in Europe. 
Order intake in North America was supported by strong underlying 
demand as well as replenishment of dealer rental fleets.
   In Q3, deliveries decreased by 21% driven by lower deliveries to 
China, a slowdown in Brazil and somewhat weakening demand 
coupled with supply challenges in Europe. Deliveries in North 
America grew supported by favorable market and macroeconomic 
conditions.

Improved service sales and 
profitability
• In Q3, order intake increased by 6% and deliveries by 4%
• Both adjusted and reported operating income increased to 
SEK 340 M (99) with a margin of 6.3% (2.0)
• Service sales increased by 13%, adjusted for currency
In Q3, global demand for new buses continued to be good, 
particularly for coaches. In the city bus segment, demand for electric 
buses continued to increase.
   Compared with Q3 2022, net order intake increased by 6% to 
1,587 units, primarily supported by large coach orders in North 
America and electric bus orders to Warrington Borough Council and 
Lothian Buses in the UK. Deliveries increased by 4% to 1,420 units, 
with higher deliveries in North America, Asia, and Africa and 
Oceania, but with lower deliveries in South America and Europe.
   In Q3, net sales increased by 12% to SEK 5,386 M ( 4,817). 
Adjusted for currency, net sales increased by 6%, whereof vehicle 
sales increased by 4% and service sales by 13%.
   
   Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
340 M ( 99), corresponding to an operating margin of 6.3% ( 2.0). 
Compared with Q3 2022, the higher operating income is an effect of 
price realization, increased service sales and improved production 
efficiency, whereas material costs increased. Compared with Q3 
2022, currency movements had a positive impact of SEK 86 M.
   During Q3, Volvo Buses signed an agreement with MCV in Egypt 
for the manufacture of bodies for the Volvo 7900 Electric and Volvo 
7900 Electric Artic, and later for an electric bus for intercity traffic,

Increased earnings 
• In Q3, net sales increased by 5% adjusted for currency while 
order intake decreased by 28%
• Both adjusted and reported operating income increased to SEK 
790 M (593), with a margin of 15.9% (13.3)
• A new dealership agreement for Swedish industrial sales was 
signed with Swecon
       
In Q3,  there was a slowdown in demand in both the marine and 
industrial segments. In marine leisure, there was a general decline in 
demand, most accentuated for smaller power boats. Within marine 
commercial, demand continued to be high, especially for supply 
boats and patrol vessels. The market for industrial power generation 
slowed down in Europe and the Middle East while the industrial off-
road market started to show a more general decline. The 
construction segment weakened in Europe and remained on low 
levels in China. Demand within material handling and mining also 
slowed down.
  Supply chain disturbances continued to affect lead times and 
deliveries negatively. Net order intake decreased by 28% to 7,789 
units while deliveries decreased by 9% to 9,811 units.
   
   Net sales increased by 11% to SEK 4,956 M (4,451). Adjusted for 
currency movements, net sales increased by 5%, of which sales of 
engines increased by 5% and sales of services by 6%.
  Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 
790 M (593), corresponding to an operating margin of 15.9% (13.3). 
Price realization and a favorable product mix contributed positively, 
but was partly offset by higher material costs, lower production 
efficiency and increased selling expenses. Compared with Q3 2022, 
the currency impact was positive in an amount of SEK 136 M.
  Volvo Pentaʼs development of a specialized dealer network to better 
meet customer demands continued with Volvo Construction 
Equipmentʼs long-standing Swedish distributor Swecon being 
appointed Volvo Penta dealer for industrial sales in Sweden.

_________________________________________________________________
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.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The reported amounts for contingent liabilities reflect a part of Volvo 
Groupʼs risk exposure. Total contingent liabilities as of September 
30, 2023 , amounted to SEK 17.7 billion, a decrease  of SEK 0.5 
billion compared to December 31, 2022. The gross exposure of SEK 
17.7 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.
Strike in the US
On October 8, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union informed 
Mack Trucks that their members had voted against ratification of a 
new five-year collective bargaining agreement covering about 3,900 
employees at facilities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida, 
including the powertrain plant, which supports the production of 
both Mack Trucks and Volvo, and Mack Trucksʼ assembly plant. 
Beginning on October 9, the UAW strike at all the covered facilities. 
If the strike continues for an extended period of time, it may result in 
negative financial consequences for the Volvo Group.

NOTE 3 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
Acquisitions and divestments
In Q3, the Volvo Group divested the Russian entities. The divestment 
resulted in a negative impact on the operating income of SEK 794 M 
and a total negative cash flow effect of SEK 2,499 M. The Volvo 
Group also divested its shares in the associated company 
WirelessCar Sweden AB.
  The Volvo Group has not made any other acquisitions or 
divestments of operations during Q3 that have had a material impact 
on the financial statements.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
Assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to net SEK 260 M (-) as 
of September 30, 2023 , mainly related to planned property 
divestments.

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 
6.0 billion (6.3) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted 
to SEK 8.5 billion (9.0) as of September 30, 2023.
The derivatives are accounted for on gross basis. Financial liabilities 
valued at amortized cost, reported as non-current and current bond 
loans and other loans, amounted to SEK 232.9 billion ( 205.0) in 
reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 229.6 billion (201.3). 
In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities 
include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting 
to SEK 5.7 billion (5.9).
