Kv1 2026: God försäljning och operativ utveckling
Finansiell sammanfattning Kv1 2026
$2 753 miljoner försäljning, en ökning med 6,8%
0,8% organisk försäljningsökning*
8,6% rörelsemarginal, 8,9% just. rörelsemarginal*
$1,88 vinst/aktie efter utspädning, 12% minskning
Utsikter för helåret 2026
Cirka 0% organisk försäljningsökning
Cirka 3% positiv valutaeffekt på försäljningen
Cirka 10,5-11% justerad rörelsemarginal
Cirka $1,2 miljarder operativt kassaflöde
Alla förändringstal i denna rapport jämför med motsvarande period året innan, om inte annat anges.
Viktiga händelser i verksamheten under det första kvartalet 2026
• Försäljningen ökade organiskt* med 0,8% vilket var 4,2 %-enheter bättre än den globala fordonsproduktionens minskning om 3,4%
(S&P Global Apr 2026), främst till följd av en stark utveckling i Asien. Regions- och kundfordonsmixen beräknas ha påverkat
försäljningen positivt med cirka 1,5 %-enhet, medan tariff-kompensationer adderade cirka 0,5 %-enhet. Vi växte organiskt betydligt
snabbare än fordonsproduktionen i Kina (15 %-enheter) och i Asien exkl. Kina (6,8 %-enheter) och växte i linje med marknaden i
EMEA men långsammare i Amerika (4,5 %-enheter). Vår starka utveckling i Asien exkl. Kina berodde främst på Indien, där vi växte 28
%-enheter mer än fordonsproduktionen, främst pga fortsatt ökat säkerhetsinnehåll per fordon, medan den goda utvecklingen i Kina
främst drevs av fortsatt utökad närvaro hos kinesiska fordonstillverkare.
• Lönsamheten var stark. Tack vare väl genomförda kostnadsminskningar och positiva valutaeffekter ökade bruttoresultatet med 10%.
Rörelseresultatet minskade med 6,7% och justerat rörelseresultat* minskade med 3,9%, påverkat av negativa valutakurseffekter och
tillfälligt lägre utvecklingsintäkter, samt positiva engångseffekter i kv1 2025. Rörelsemarginalen uppgick till 8,6% medan justerad
rörelsemarginal* var 8,9%. Avkastning på sysselsatt kapital var 22,2% och justerad avkastning på sysselsatt kapital* var 22,9%.
• Operativt kassaflöde var -76 MUSD, främst pga högre rörelsekapital som en följd av stark försäljning i mars, tillfälliga effekter som
förväntas reverseras senare under året samt en hög nivå av leverantörsskulder i slutet av 2025. Fritt operativt kassaflöde* minskade
därmed till -159 MUSD. Skuldsättningsgraden* var oförändrad jämfört med ett år tidigare på 1,3x, under vårt målsättningstak på 1,5x.
I kvartalet betalades en utdelning på 0,87 USD per aktie.

Kommentarer från Mikael Bratt, VD & koncernchef
Det första kvartalet blev bättre än vi väntat
oss, med stark försäljning i mars. Vår
operativa utveckling överträffade
förväntningarna, med en solid produktivitets-
förbättring, delvis tack vare minskad avrops-
volatilitet. Underliggande lönsamheten
förbättrades där bruttoresultatet ökade med
10%, även om justerat rörelseresultat blev
något lägre pga tillfälligt lägre utvecklings-
Det gläder mig att vi under kvartalet introducerade vår första
krockkudde för motorcyklar och vår första bärbara lösning för
motorcykelförare, vilket är i linje med vår långsiktiga strategi att
växa affären även utanför den traditionella kärnverksamheten.
Kvartalet karaktäriserades av pågående och nya geopolitiska
utmaningar. Det är för närvarande svårt att fullt ut utvärdera möjliga
effekter, eftersom situationen är fortsatt oklar. Vi följer noggrant
utvecklingen och förbereder oss för olika scenarier, inklusive olika
anpassningsstrategier.
Affärsklimatet är osäkert, men vår nuvarande bästa bedömning för
återstoden av året är en upprepning av vår helårsprognos för 2026,
med i stort sett oförändrad organisk försäljning och en justerad
rörelsemarginal på omkring 10,5–11 %. Detta bygger på antagandet
att fordonsproduktionen kommer att minska med cirka 1 %.
Vår balansräkning är hälsosam, med en skuldsättningsgrad på 1,3x,
under vårt målsättningstak på 1,5x. Utifrån vår indikation om
försäljning och justerad rörelsemarginal fortsätter vi att förvänta oss
ett starkt kassaflöde i år, vilket stärker vår ambition att leverera
attraktiv aktieägaravkastning, inklusive aktieåterköp om 300-500
MUSD i 2026.
intäkter och en engångsintäkt i första kvartalet förra året.
Vår positiva trend i Asien fortsatte, med stark tillväxt i Indien,
Sydkorea och Kina. I Kina fortsatte vi att växa snabbare än
fordonsproduktionen, särskilt med kinesiska fordonstillverkare, där
vi växte 40 %-enheter mer än de. I Indien växte vi organiskt med
38%, vilket främst reflekterar trenden med högre
säkerhetsinnehåll i fordonen i Indien, men även den fortsatt höga
tillväxten i fordonsproduktionen. Vi fortsätter att utöka vår
produktionskapacitet i Indien för framtida tillväxt, genom
investeringar i ytterligare kapacitet för produktion av
gasgeneratorer.

Full year 2026 guidance
In addition to the assumptions below and in our business and market update below, our full year 2026 guidance is based on
our customer call-offs and the achievement of our targeted cost compensation adjustments with our customers, including no
material changes to tariffs or trade restrictions, as compared to what is in effect as of April 10, 2026, as well as no significant
changes in the macro-economic environment, changes to customer call-off volatility or significant supply chain disruptions.
Full year 2026 Guidance
Organic sales growth Around 0%
Adjusted operating margin1) Around 10.5-11%
Operating cash flow2) Around $1.2 billion
Capex, net, % of sales Less than 5%
1) Excluding effects from capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and other discrete items. 2) Excluding unusual items.
Full year 2026 Assumptions
LVP growth Around 1% negative
FX impact on net sales Around 3% positive
Tax rate3) Around 28%
3) Excluding unusual tax items.
The forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures above are provided on a Non-GAAP basis. Autoliv has not provided a
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, April 17, 2026. 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.

Business and market condition update
Supply Chain
Call-off volatility improved somewhat compared to both Q4 2025 and Q1 2025, although it still remains higher than pre -
pandemic levels. Low customer demand visibility and changes to customer call-offs with short notice continued to have
some negative impact on our production efficiency and profitability. We expect call-off volatility for the full year 2026 on
average to be slightly improved compared to 2025 but still remain higher than pre-pandemic levels. However, the
continued significant uncertainty in the geopolitical environment and future changes in tariffs and trade restrictions may
lead to more negative call-off volatility.
Raw material inflation, geopolitical risks and tariffs
Raw material price changes had only a small negative impact on our profitability in the first quarter, with a gross impact of
around $5 million. For the full year 2026, our current assessment is for around $90 million gross impact from higher raw
material prices. We expect to be able to mitigate a majority of this headwind, mainly through internal cost reductions,
material mix improvements and commercial negotiations with customers and suppliers. Given the continued uncertainty
in the geopolitical environment, the 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.
The effects of the new tariffs imposed in 2025 impacted our profitability in negatively in the first quarter of 2026. Althoug h
we achieved customer compensations for more than 70% of tariff costs, the net effect on operating margin was around
40bps negative, including the dilution effect. While it is our ambition and expectation to continue passing tariff costs on to
our customers, there is significant uncertainty as future recovery levels may vary. For the full year 2026, we estimate the
tariff-related dilution on operating margin to be similar to the around 20 bps that it was for full year 2025.
We currently do not expect any material impact from the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act did not authorize the imposition of the tariffs in 2025, as our gross exposure is limited to around $25
million and the net exposure is well below $10 million.
Ongoing geopolitical developments, including the hostilities in and around the Persian Gulf, introduce additional uncertainty
into the global economic environment. These conditions may affect supply chains, commodity prices, customer demand, and
broader market stability. As a result, our current financial guidance reflects the best information available today but may be
subject to change should these geopolitical dynamics materially impact our operations or the markets in which we operate.
We continue to closely monitor both geopolitical developments and the tariff policy environment in order to be agile to
adjust our commercial and operational responses to any such developments.

Sales by product – Airbags, Steering Wheels and
Other
Sales for Airbags, Steering Wheels and Other grew
organically* by 0.7% in the quarter. The largest contributors
to the increase were center airbags, driver airbags and side
airbags, partly offset by declines for passenger airbags and
inflatable curtains.
Sales by product – Seatbelt Products and Other
Sales for Seatbelt Products and Other grew organically* by
1.1% in the quarter. Sales increased organically in Asia
excluding China, EMEA and China while sales declined in
Americas.
Sales by region
Our global organic sales* increased by 0.8% compared to
the global LVP decrease of 3.4% (according to S&P Global,
April 2026). The relative performance was positively
impacted by product launches but also by positive effects
from the regional and model LVP mix development, which
we estimate contributed to about 1.5pp outperformance and
by tariff compensations of around 0.5pp. Our organic sales
growth* outperformed LVP growth by 15pp in China and by
6.8pp in Asia excluding China. We performed in line with
LVP in EMEA and underperformed by 4.5pp in Americas,
impacted mainly by negative mix due to a high LVP growth
in low content South America and a lower content on some
replacement models.
LVP in China declined substantially with Global OEMs
declining by 8.5% and Chinese OEMs declining by 11%.
Autoliv's sales to domestic OEMs increased by around 30%
while our sales to global OEMs decreased by around 10%.
We expect continued strong sales growth in China in 2026,
driven mainly by our performance with domestic OEMs. Our
strong sales growth in Asia excluding China was mainly due
to 38% organic sales growth in India, reflecting LVP growth
but mainly the trend of increased safety content in vehicles
in India.

First quarter 2026 development
Gross profit increased by $48 million and gross margin
increased by 0.6pp compared to the prior year. The drivers
behind the gross profit improvement were mainly positive FX
effects, improved operational efficiency with lower costs for
labor as well as positive effects from higher sales. This was
partly offset by increased tariff costs, net.
S,G&A costs increased by $16 million compared to the prior
year, mainly due to $10 million in negative FX translation
effects and $5 million in higher costs for personnel driven by
wage inflation and a non-recurring cost of $4 million. S,G&A
costs in relation to sales increased from 5.6% to 5.8%.
R,D&E, net, costs increased by $25 million compared to the
prior year, mainly due to $11 million in lower engineering
income related to timing effects, $5 million in higher personnel
costs due to wage inflation and $4 million in negative FX
translation effects. R,D&E, net, in relation to sales increased
from 3.7% to 4.3%.
Other income (expense), net, was negative $9 million,
compared to positive $15 million in the same period last year.
The positive $15 million in 2025 related mainly to recycled
accumulated currency translation differences related to the
divestment of our idled operations in Russia while the
negative $9 million in 2026 related mainly to restructuring
costs in EMEA.
Operating income decreased by $17 million compared to
the prior year, due to the higher costs for R,D&E, net, Other
income (expense) and S,G&A, partly offset by higher gross
profit as outlined above.
Adjusted operating income* decreased by $10 million
compared to the prior year, due to the higher costs for
R,D&E, net, S,G&A and Other income (expense), partly
offset by higher gross profit as outlined above.
Financial and non-operating items, net, was negative $35
million compared to negative $22 million a year earlier. The
cost increase comes from $12 million in higher costs for non-
operating items mainly related to restructuring costs in
Americas.
Income before taxes decreased by $30 million compared to
the prior year, mainly due to the lower operating income and
higher costs for financial and non-operating items, net.
Tax rate was 29.9% compared to 28.0% the prior year.
Discrete tax items, net, had an unfavorable impact of 2.3pp
in the first quarter of 2026, while discrete tax items, net were
not material in the corresponding quarter last year.
Earnings per share, diluted decreased by $0.26 compared
to the prior year. The main drivers were $0.16 from lower
operating income, $0.12 from financial and non-operating
items, $0.05 from taxes partly offset by $0.07 from lower
number of outstanding shares, diluted.

First quarter 2026 development
Changes in operating working capital impacted operating
cash flow by $349 million negative compared to an impact of
$179 million negative in the prior year. The $349 million
increase in operating working capital mainly comes from
$175 million increase in receivables and $134 million
decrease in accounts payables. The increase in operating
working capital is mainly related to high level of sales in
March 2026, other temporary effects that are expected to
reverse later in the year and the high level of accounts
payable at the end of December 2025.
Operating cash flow decreased by $153 million to $(76)
million compared to the prior year, mainly because of the
increase in operating working capital outlined above and a
lower net income, partly offset by higher depreciation and
other non-cash adjustments.
Capital expenditure, net, decreased by $10 million
compared to the prior year. The level of capital expenditure,
net, in relation to sales declined to 3.0% versus 3.6% a year
earlier. The lower level of capital expenditure, net is mainly
related to the lower activity level of footprint optimization and
less capacity expansion.
Free operating cash flow* was negative $159 million
compared to negative $16 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.
Cash conversion* defined as free operating cash flow* in
relation to net income, was n/a in the quarter compared to
n/a a year earlier as free operating cash flow was negative
both quarters.
===== SIDA 9 =====
Kvartalsrapport januari – mars 2026

Trade working capital* in relation to sales increased from
12.4% to 13.7%. This was mainly due to that accounts
receivables in relation to sales increased from 21.4% to
22.0% due to high sales in March 2026 and other temporary
effects that are expected to reverse later in the year. The
increase of trade working capital in relation to sales was also
due to that accounts payables decreased from 17.8% of
sales to 16.9% due to geographic sales mix changes and
timing effects.
Net debt* was $1,773 million as of March 31, 2026, which
was $14 million lower than a year earlier.
Total equity as of March 31, 2026, increased by $283
million compared to March 31, 2025. This was mainly due to
net income of $710 million and $103 million in positive
currency translation effects, partly offset by $304 million in
share repurchases, including taxes, and $249 million in
dividend payments.
Leverage ratio*: On March 31, 2026, the Company had a
leverage ratio of 1.3x compared to 1.3x on March 31, 2025,
as the 12 months trailing adjusted EBITDA* increased by
$74 million while net debt* per the policy was unchanged.
Our target is to have a leverage ratio not higher than 1.5x.

As of March 31, 2026, total headcount (Full Time Equivalent)
decreased by around 1,900, or 2.9%, compared to a year
earlier. The indirect workforce increased by around 300, or
1.5%, mainly reflecting a change in headcount reporting
classification, moving around 300 people from direct to
indirect. The direct workforce decreased by approximately
2,100, or 4.4%. The decrease was supported by an
improvement in customer call-off accuracy which enabled us
to accelerate operating efficiency improvements and also
reflecting the reclassification mentioned above.
Compared to December 31, 2025, total headcount (Full
Time Equivalent) decreased by around 200, or 0.4%.
Indirect headcount increased by around 300, while direct
headcount decreased by approximately 600 impacted by
the reclassification mentioned above.

contributing to the development of the Autoliv EMEA
division during a challenging period for the automotive
industry.
• On March 6, 2026, Autoliv announced the renewal for
one year of its €3 billion guaranteed euro medium term
note program, originally established on April 11, 2019.
• On March 12, 2026, Autoliv announced it has together
with Yamaha Motor Co. co-developed an innovative
airbag system for the new Tricity commuter scooter. This
is a significant step toward making advanced safety
solutions accessible to a wider range of riders, moving
beyond their previous availability solely on high-end
motorcycles. The collaboration reflects Autoliv's
continued expansion beyond its core business and
supports the company's long-term strategic direction.
• On March 24, 2026, Autoliv announced it has developed
its first complete wearable protection for motorcycle
riders: a vest with an integrated airbag system designed
to reduce critical injury risks in the event of a crash. This
system is being launched in collaboration with RS
Taichi, a leading manufacturer of motorcycle riding gear,
who will bring it to market. This initiative complements
Autoliv's motorcycle and bike offer and supports its long-
term strategy to explore opportunities beyond its core
business of airbags, seatbelts and steering wheels for
light vehicles.
• The Board has set Thursday, May 7, 2026 as the date
for the 2026 Annual Stockholders Meeting. The Board
has decided that the meeting will be in-person only.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
In this report we sometimes refer to Non-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-GAAP measures as substitutes, but rather as
additions, to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with 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 5 present
changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total 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-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-GAAP measure “net debt” is also used in the Non-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 Non-GAAP measures
"Free operating cash flow" and "Cash conversion"
Management uses the Non-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-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 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. Adjusted ROE is annualized income (loss)
relative to average total equity for the periods presented as adjusted to exclude certain non -recurring items. The Company’s
management believes that ROE and Adjusted ROE are useful indicators 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 GAAP to the equivalent Non-GAAP measures.
