Kv2 2026: Fortsatt positivt momentum i andra kvartalet
Finansiell sammanfattning Kv2 2026
$2 803 miljoner försäljning, en ökning med 3,3%
1,0% organisk försäljningsökning*
6,8% rörelsemarginal, 9,6% just. rörelsemarginal*
$1,35 vinst/aktie efter utspädning, 38% minskning
Utsikter för helåret 2026
Cirka 0% organisk försäljningsökning
Cirka 2,5% positiv valutaeffekt på försäljningen

Alla förändringstal i denna rapport jämför med motsvarande period året innan, om inte annat anges.
Viktiga händelser i verksamheten under det andra kvartalet 2026
• Försäljningen ökade organiskt* med 1,0%, vilket var 1,3%-enheter bättre än den globala fordonsproduktionens minskning om 0,3%
(S&P Global juli 2026) främst till följd av en stark utveckling i Asien. Regions- och kundfordonsmixen beräknas ha påverkat
försäljningen negativt med cirka 0,6%-enheter. Vi växte organiskt betydligt snabbare än fordonsproduktionen i Kina och i Asien exkl.
Kina, något långsammare än fordonsproduktionen i EMEA men mer markant i Amerika. Vår starka utveckling i Asien exkl. Kina
berodde främst på Indien, där vi växte 20%-enheter mer än fordonsproduktionen, främst pga fortsatt stark marknadstillväxt för
säkerhetsinnehåll per fordon. Vår starka kinesiska utveckling drevs främst av att vår försäljningstillväxt med de kinesiska
fordonstillverkarna var över 40%-enheter högre än deras fordonsproduktionsökning.
• Underliggande lönsamhet var fortsatt stark. Rörelseresultatet minskade kraftigt pga den tidigare kommunicerade omstruktureringen
i Turkiet. Justerat rörelseresultat* ökade med 7,3%, trots negativa effekter från valuta och råmaterialpriser, främst pga väl genomförda
kostnadsbesparingar på direkt material. Rörelsemarginalen uppgick till 6,8% och justerad rörelsemarginal* var 9,6%. Avkastning på
sysselsatt kapital uppgick till 17,9% och justerad avkastning på sysselsatt kapital var 24,9%.
• Kassaflödet var det bästa vi uppnått hittills för ett andra kvartal där det operativa kassaflödet ökade från 277 MUSD till 434
MUSD, främst pga en stark underliggande lönsamhet och en normalisering av rörelsekapitalet. Fritt operativt kassaflöde * mer än
fördubblades till 340 MUSD. Skuldsättningsgraden* förbättrades till 1,2x. I kvartalet betalades en utdelning på 0,87 USD per aktie och
1,65 miljoner aktier återköptes och makulerades.

Kommentarer från Mikael Bratt, VD & koncernchef
Vi behöll det första kvartalets positiva
momentum tack vare en fokuserad exekvering.
Vår globala organiska försäljningstillväxt
överträffade fordonsproduktionens tillväxt med
mer än 1%-enhet, framför allt pga att vi växte
betydligt snabbare än fordonsproduktionen i
Asien. Vår försäljning till kinesiska
fordonstillverkare växte med över 40% och dom
stod för 55% av vår försäljning i Kina, jämfört
I linje med vår ambition att säkra långsiktig konkurrenskraft samt att
anpassa produktionskapaciteten med marknadsefterfrågan, fortsätter vi
att optimera vår produktionsstruktur. I kvartalet meddelade vi att vår
tillverkning i Turkiet kommer att upphöra.
Vi fortsatte att framgångsrikt hantera de geopolitiska utmaningarna i
kvartalet, då vi lyckades begränsa effekterna av tariffer, utmanande
försörjningskedjor och prisökningar på råmaterial.
Affärsklimatet är fortsatt osäkert, men vår nuvarande bästa bedömning
för återstoden av året är en upprepning av helårsprognosen för 2026,
med en oförändrad organisk försäljning och en justerad rörelsemarginal
på omkring 10,5-11% samt ett operativt kassaflöde på cirka 1,2
miljarder USD. Detta bygger på antagandet att fordonsproduktionen
kommer att minska med cirka 2,5%.
Kundkompensationer och andra motåtgärder förväntas ha begränsad
effekt i Kv3, men betydligt större effekt i Kv4. Därför förväntar vi oss att
justerad rörelsemarginal i Kv3 blir på ungefär samma nivå som det
första halvåret, med en kraftig förbättring i Kv4.
Våra utsikter för helåret ger stöd för fortsatt starkt kassaflöde för året,
vilket bidrar till vår ambition att leverera attraktiv aktieägaravkastning,
inklusive aktieåterköp för 300-500 MUSD under 2026.
med 40% för ett år sedan. Våra möjligheter med kinesiska
fordonstillverkare stärktes ytterligare genom undertecknandet av nya
strategiska samarbetsavtal med både Great Wall Motor och XPENG.
Försäljningen i Indien fortsatte att växa med mer än 35%.
Väl genomförda kostnadsbesparingar bidrog till fortsatt förbättring av
underliggande lönsamhet, där justerad rörelsemarginal ökade till
9.6%.
Det gläder mig att kassaflödet förbättrades i linje med våra
förväntningar, då vi uppnådde vårt bästa operativa kassaflöde för ett
andra kvartal. Detat ger stöd till vår ambitiösa strategi för
aktieägaravkastning. Skuldsättningsgraden förbättrades till 1,2x, trots
återköp av 1,65 miljoner aktier för 200 MUSD i kvartalet.

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 July 9, 2026, as well as no significant
changes in the macro-economic environment, changes in 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 2.5% negative
FX impact on net sales Around 2.5% positive
Tax rate3) Around 30%
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, July 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 accuracy improved somewhat compared to Q2 2025, but declined slightly vs. Q1 2026, mainly driven by light
vehicle market developments in China. Call-off volatility remains higher than pre-pandemic levels. Low customer demand
visibility and changes in 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 a negative impact on our profitability in the second quarter, with a gross impact of
around $21 million. For the full year 2026, our current assessment is for around $110 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 new tariffs imposed in 2025 negatively impacted our profitability in the second quarter of 2026. We achieved
customer compensation for more than 80% of the tariff costs, resulting in a net negative impact after compensation of
around $7 million, which was in line with the net amount in Q2 2025. Including the dilution effect, the impact on operating
margin was around 35bps negative. The recovery of tariffs related to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling regarding the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act had a net positive effect of around $3 million. W hile 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 will be similar to the around 20
bps for full year 2025.
Ongoing geopolitical developments, including the hostilities in and around the Persian Gulf, have added 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 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 remain agile
and to adjust our commercial and operational responses to any such developments.
Autoliv to discontinue manufacturing operations in Türkiye
On May 8, 2026, Autoliv announced an update to its strategy to align production capacity with future EMEA market
requirements. As part of this strategy, Autoliv will gradually discontinue its manufacturing operations in Türkiye, which
include the production of steering wheels, airbags, and seatbelts, to continue optimizing its manufacturing footprint and
ensure long-term competitiveness and operational sustainability. This discontinuation is expected to affect approximately
2,200 employees. Production in Türkiye will be moved to Autoliv's other existing facilities in the EMEA region. The complete
closure is anticipated in the first half of 2028. The Company expects to record restructuring charges of approximately $142
million in total, of which $90 million was recognized in Q2 2026. Cash outflow is expected to be approximately $129 million,
with a limited impact on the 2026 cash flow. The Company expects to achieve estimated annual pre -tax savings of $40
million, beginning in 2027, reaching the full run-rate benefit in 2028.

Sales for Airbags, Steering Wheels and Other grew
organically* by 3.0% in the quarter. The largest contributors
to the increase were side airbags and center airbags,
followed by driver airbags, inflatable curtains and knee
airbags, partly offset by declines for steering wheels and
passenger airbags.
Sales by product – Seatbelt Products and Other
Sales for Seatbelt Products and Other declined organically*
by 3.0% in the quarter. Sales decreased organically in
Americas, China and EMEA while it increased in Asia
excluding China.
Sales by region
Our global organic sales* increased by 1.0% compared to
the global LVP decrease of 0.3% (according to S&P Global,
July 2026). The relative outperformance was positively
impacted by product launches but negatively impacted by
regional and model LVP mix development (around 60bps).
Our organic sales growth* outperformed LVP growth by
7.3pp in China and by 5.9pp in Asia excluding China. We
underperformed LVP in EMEA by 1.0pp and by 4.9pp in
Americas, impacted mainly by lower top line effect from
tariffs, negative mix due to high LVP growth in lower content
South America and a lower content on some replacement
models.
LVP in China declined by 4.0%, with Global OEMs LVP
declining by 19% and Chinese OEMs LVP growing by 3.1%.
Autoliv's sales to domestic OEMs increased organically by
around 44% while our sales to global OEMs decreased by
around 24%. Chinese OEMs accounted for 55% of our sales
in China in the quarter, compared to 40% a year ago. 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 36% organic sales growth in India, reflecting LVP growth
but mainly the trend of increased safety content in vehicles
in India.

Second quarter 2026 development
Gross profit increased by $8 million and gross margin
decreased by 0.3pp compared to the prior year. The drivers
behind the gross profit improvement were mainly positive FX
effects and lower costs for materials. This was partly offset by
$13 million in costs for a supplier compensation reversal and
$9 million in asset impairment related to the restructuring
activities in Türkiye.
S,G&A costs decreased by $7 million compared to the prior
year, mainly due to $8 million from revised estimated credit
loss reserve and $1 million in lower personnel costs, partly
offset by $3 million in negative FX translation effects and
higher legal costs. S,G&A costs in relation to sales decreased
from 5.4% to 4.9%.
R,D&E, net, costs increased by $15 million compared to the
prior year, mainly due to $5 million in lower engineering
income related to timing effects, $4 million in higher personnel
costs due to wage inflation and $3 million in negative FX
translation effects. R,D&E, net, in relation to sales increased
from 3.9% to 4.4%.
Other income (expense), net, was negative $56 million,
compared to negative $1 million in the same period last year.
The $56 million in Q2 2026 consists mainly of around $66
million in capacity alignments related to our restructuring
activities in Türkiye partly offset by around $10 million in
government income in India.
Operating income decreased by $55 million compared to
the prior year, mainly due to higher capacity alignment costs
related to restructuring activities in Türkiye and higher
R,D&E, net, costs, partly offset by higher gross profit and
lower S,G&A costs as outlined above.
Adjusted operating income* increased by $18 million
compared to the prior year, due to the higher gross profit and
lower S,G&A costs as outlined above.
Financial and non-operating items, net, was a negative
$38 million compared to a negative $27 million a year earlier.
The cost increase was driven by $12 million in higher costs
for non-operating items mainly related to costs associated
with restructuring activities in Türkiye.
Income before taxes decreased by $67 million compared to
the prior year, mainly due to the lower operating income and
higher costs for financial and non-operating items, net, as
outlined above.
Tax rate was 34.5% compared to 24.1% the prior year.
Discrete tax items, net, had an unfavorable impact of 5.4pp
in Q2 2026, while discrete tax items, net, in Q2 2025 had a
favorable impact of 4.3pp. Discrete tax items recorded in Q2
2026 primarily related to negative tax impacts from costs
recorded for the capacity alignment for Autoliv’s
manufacturing operations in Türkiye.
Earnings per share, diluted decreased by $0.81 compared
to the prior year. The main drivers were $0.55 from lower
operating income, $0.21 from higher taxes and $0.11 from
financial and non-operating items, partly offset by $0.05 from
lower number of outstanding shares, diluted.

First six months 2026 development
Gross profit increased by $56 million and gross margin
increased by 0.1pp compared to the prior year. The drivers
behind the gross profit improvement were mainly positive FX
translation effects and lower costs for materials. This was
partly offset by costs for a supplier compensation reversal and
asset impairment related to the restructuring activities in
Türkiye.
S,G&A costs increased by $9 million compared to the prior
year, mainly due to negative FX translation effects and higher
personnel costs, partly offset by reversal of estimated credit
loss reserve. S,G&A costs in relation to sales decreased from
5.5% to 5.4%.
R,D&E, net, costs increased by $40 million compared to the
prior year, mainly due to lower engineering income, higher
personnel costs and negative FX translation effects. R,D&E,
net, in relation to sales increased from 3.8% to 4.4%.
Other income (expense), net, was negative $65 million,
compared to positive $14 million in the same period last year.
The increase in costs were mainly due to higher capacity
alignment costs related to restructuring activities in Türkiye.
Operating income decreased by $73 million compared to
the prior year, mainly due to higher capacity alignment costs
related to restructuring activities in Türkiye, higher R,D&E,
net, costs and higher S,G&A costs, partly offset by higher
gross profit as outlined above.
Adjusted operating income* increased by $8 million
compared to the prior year, due to the higher gross profit,
partly offset by the higher costs for R,D&E, net and S,G&A.
Financial and non-operating items, net, was negative $73
million compared to negative $48 million a year earlier. The
cost increase comes from higher costs for non-operating
items mainly related to costs associated with restructuring
activities in Türkiye and Mexico.
Income before taxes decreased by $98 million compared to
the prior year, mainly due to the lower operating income and
higher costs for financial and non-operating items, net, as
outlined above.
Tax rate was 31.9% compared to 26.1% the prior year.
Discrete tax items, net, for the period had an unfavorable
impact of 3.7pp. Discrete tax items, net, for the prior year
period had a favorable impact of 2.1pp. Discrete tax items
recorded in the first six months of 2026 primarily related to
negative tax impacts from costs recorded for the capacity
alignment for Autoliv’s manufacturing operations in Türkiye.
Earnings per share, diluted decreased by $1.07 compared
to the prior year. The main drivers were $0.69 from lower
operating income, $0.26 from higher tax and $0.23 from
financial and non-operating items, partly offset by $0.12 from
lower number of outstanding shares, diluted.

Second quarter 2026 development
Changes in operating working capital impacted operating
cash flow by $240 million positive compared to $15 million
positive in the prior year. The $240 million decrease in
operating working capital comes mainly from $120 million
from accounts payable, $35 million from receivables, net,
and $48 million from accrued severance and restructuring
costs. The decrease in operating working capital is mainly
due to an expected normalization of working capital following
the increase seen in the first quarter, which was related to
high level of sales in March 2026 and other temporary
effects.
Operating cash flow increased by $157 million to $434
million compared to the prior year, mainly because of the
decrease in operating working capital outlined above, partly
offset by a lower net income.
Capital expenditure, net, decreased by $20 million
compared to the prior year. The level of capital expenditure,
net, in relation to sales declined to 3.4% versus 4.2% 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 positive $340 million
compared to positive $163 million in the prior year. The
increase was due to the higher operating cash flow and
lower capital expenditure, net, as outlined above.
Cash conversion* defined as free operating cash flow* in
relation to net income, was 338% compared to 97% a year
earlier as free operating cash flow was increased while net
income decreased.

Trade working capital* in relation to sales decreased from
12.5% to 12.0%. Compared to the high level of 13.7% in the
first quarter of 2026, which was related to high level of sales
in March 2026 and other temporary effects, was an expected
normalization.
Net debt* was $1,695 million as of June 30, 2026, which
was $57 million lower than a year earlier.
Total equity as of June 30, 2026, increased by $21 million
compared to June 30, 2025. This was mainly due to net
income of $643 million and $27 million in other positive
effects, partly offset by $454 million in share repurchases,
including taxes, and $194 million in dividend payments.
Leverage ratio*: On June 30, 2026, the Company had a
leverage ratio of 1.2x compared to 1.3x on June 30, 2025, as
the 12 months trailing adjusted EBITDA* increased by $73
million while net debt* per the policy decreased by $44
million. Our target is to have a leverage ratio not higher than
1.5x.
First six months 2026 development
Operating cash flow increased by $4 million to $359 million
compared to the prior year, mainly because the positive
effects from working capital and depreciations were almost
offset by the lower net income.
Capital expenditure, net, decreased by $29 million
compared to the prior year. The level of capital expenditure,
net, in relation to sales was 3.2% versus 3.9% a year earlier.
The lower level of capital expenditure, net was mainly
related to the lower activity level of footprint optimization and
less capacity expansion.
Free operating cash flow* was positive $180 million
compared to positive $147 million in the prior year. The
increase was mainly due to the lower level of capital
expenditure, net.
Cash conversion* defined as free operating cash flow* in
relation to net income, was 74% compared to 44% a year
earlier as free operating cash flow increased while net
income decreased.

As of June 30, 2026, total headcount (Full Time Equivalent)
decreased by around 1,600, or 2.5%, compared to a year
earlier. The indirect workforce increased by around 200, or
1.1%, mainly reflecting a change in headcount reporting
classification, moving around 300 people from direct to
indirect. The direct workforce decreased by approximately
1,800, or 3.7%. The decrease was supported by improved
customer call-off accuracy, which enabled us to accelerate
operating efficiency improvements, and also reflected the
reclassification mentioned above.
Compared to March 31, 2026, total headcount (Full Time
Equivalent) decreased by around 600, or 0.9%. Indirect
headcount decreased by around 100, while direct
headcount decreased by approximately 500.

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 pages 5 and 6
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 relat ion 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.
