===== SIDA 1 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 Stockholm, Sverige, 18 oktober, 2024 (NYSE: ALV och SSE: ALIV.sdb) ===== SIDA 2 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 1 Kv3 2024:Försäljningen överträffade fordonsproduktionen markant Finansiell sammanfattning Kv3 $2 555 miljoner försäljning 1,6% försäljningsminskning 0,8% organisk försäljningsminskning* 8,9% rörelsemarginal 9,3% justerad rörelsemarginal* $1,74 vinst/aktie efter utspädning, 11% ökning $1,84 justerad vinst/aktie efter utspädning*, 11% ökning Utsikter för helåret 2024 Cirka 1% organisk försäljningsökning Cirka 1% negativ valutaeffekt på försäljningen Cirka 9,5-10,0% justerad rörelsemarginal Cirka $1,1 miljard operativt kassaflöde Alla förändringstal i denna rapport jämför med motsvarande period året innan, om inte annat anges. Viktiga händelser i verksamheten under det tredje kvartalet 2024 Tredje kvartalets försäljning minskade organiskt* med 0,8%, vilket var 4 procentenheter bättre än den globala fordonsproduktionen som minskade med 4,8% (S&P Global Okt 2024). Vi växte snabbare än fordonsproduktionen i Europa och i Asien exkl. Kina, främst pga en hög nivå av produktlanseringar och positiv prissättning. Vår försäljning till inhemska kinesiska fordonstillverkare växte med 18%, vilket är dubbelt så mycket som de 8.5% som deras bilproduktion växte med. Trots detta underpresterade vi i Kina, pga en kraftigt negativ fordonsmix som en konsekvens av att modeller med lägre säkerhetsinnehåll växte starkt medan modeller med högre säkerhetsinnehåll minskade. Lönsamheten var oförändrad trots en mindre försäljningsminskning. Detta främst pga framgångsrikt genomförande av kostnadsreduceringar och kostnadsskompensation från våra kunder och trots inflationsrelaterade kostnadsökningar samt en 14 MUSD kostnad relaterad till en leverantörsuppgörelse. Både direkt och indirekt antal anställda fortsatte att minska. Rörelseresultatet var 226 MUSD och rörelsemarginalen var 8,9%. Justerat rörelseresultat* var 237 MUSD och justerad rörelsermarginal* var 9,3%. Avkastning på sysselsatt kapital var 22,9% och justerad avkastning på sysselsatt kapital* var 23,9%. Operativt kassaflöde var 177 MUSD, som förväntat, och vi är på rätt spår mot $1,1 miljarder för 2024. Fritt kassaflöde* var 32 MUSD jämfört med 50 MUSD förra året. Med 1,4x är skuldsättningsgraden* fortsatt inom målintervallet. I kvartalet betalades en utdelning på 0,68 USD per aktie, och 1,33 miljoner aktier återköptes och makulerades. *För ej U.S. GAAP, se jämförelsetabell.

Kommentar från Mikael Bratt, VD & koncernchef Fordonsproduktionen var svag i det tredje kvartalet, med en minskning på nära 5% globalt. Detta pga en kombination av lagerminskningar, främst i Amerika, och en hög jämförelsebas, framför allt i Kina. I denna tuffa miljö lyckades Autoliv växa 4 procentenheter snabbare än fordons- produktionen, vilket möjliggjorde en Baserat på försäljningstrender och orderingång de senaste åren, förväntar vi oss fortsatta marknadsandelsökningar med de inhemska kinesiska biltillverkarna de kommande åren. Förhandlingarna om inflationskompensation med våra kunder har utvecklats i linje med våra förväntningar och endast några få förhandlingar återstår att slutföra. Med det säsongsmässigt starka fjärde kvartalet kvar av året, kan vi bekräfta vår indikation om cirka 9,5-10,0% justerad rörelsemarginal för 2024. Vi förväntar oss att vara på den låga änden av detta intervall, eftersom vi nu förväntar oss en organisk tillväxt för helåret 2024 på 1% i stället för som tidigare förväntat 2%. Detta pga den ofördelaktiga utvecklingen av marknadsmixen. Vårt operativa kassaflöde är på rätt spår mot helårsindikationen om 1,1 miljarder USD och vår balansräkning är fortsatt stark, med en skuldsättningskvot på 1,4x. Detta stärker vårt fortsatta fokus på en hög akteiägaravkastning och på våra finansiella mål. nära oförändrad försäljning och rörelseresultat. Detta trots en 14 MUSD kostnad relaterad till en leverantörsuppgörelse. Vi kunde uppnå dessa resultat främst tack vare vår kostnadskontroll, inklusive en fortsatt minskning av antalet tjänstemän. Genom att accelerera våra effektiviseringsåtgärder minskade den produktionsrelaterade arbetsstyrkan med 3 100 jämfört med ett år tidigare, vilket är en minskning med 6%. Jag är nöjd med att vi växte snabbare än fordonsproduktionen globalt, vilket främst var ett resultat av att vi växte klart snabbare än fordonsproduktionen i Europa och i Asien exkl. Kina. I Kina växte vi mindre än fordonsproduktionen pga en kraftigt negativ marknadsmix, men vi fortsatte att stärka vår position med de kinesiska fordonstillverkarna. ===== SIDA 3 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 2 Full year 2024 guidance Our 2024 guidance is mainly based on our customer call-offs, a full year 2024 global LVP decline of around 3% and the achievement of our targeted cost compensation effects.

Call-off volatility was unchanged compared to a year earlier but improved slightly compared to the second quarter 2024, and it remains at higher than pre-pandemic levels. Low customer demand visibility and changes to customer call-offs with short notice had a negative impact on our production efficiency and profitability in the quarter. We expect call -off volatility in 2024 on average to be slightly lower than it was in 2023 but still remain higher than the pre-pandemic level. Inflation In the third quarter, cost pressure from labor and other items had a negative impact on our profitability, although most of the inflationary cost pressure was offset by price increases and other customer compensations in the quarter. Raw material price changes had a negligible impact on our profitability during the third quarter. We continue to expect raw material prices in 2024 to increase slightly for the full year. We expect continued cost pressure from inflation relating mainly to labor, especially in Europe and the Americas. We continue to execute on productivity and cost reduction activities to offset these cost pressures, and have successfully received inflation compensation from almost all of our customers, with only a few negotiations still outstanding.

Third quarter 2024 development Gross profit decreased by $6 million, and the gross margin increased by 0.1pp compared to the same quarter 2023. The gross profit decrease was primarily driven by a $14 million cost increase in direct material related to a settlement and to a lesser extent the lower net sales. This was partly offset by lower costs for mainly premium freight and labor, partly due to improved customer call-off accuracy. S,G&A costs increased by $10 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to higher costs for personnel due to wage inflation while headcount was unchanged. Costs for digitalization, IT projects and licenses also increased, impacted by inflation. S,G&A costs in relation to sales increased from 4.6% to 5.0%. R,D&E, net costs decreased by $11 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to $6 million in higher engineering income. The decrease was also supported to a smaller extent from several items, mainly positive FX translation effects, lower personnel costs and lower costs for samples and prototypes. R,D&E, net, in relation to sales decreased from 4.1% to 3.7%. Other income (expense), net was close to unchanged at negative $9 million, compared to negative $8 million in the same period last year. Operating income decreased by $6 million compared to the same period in 2023, due to the lower gross profit, higher S,G&A costs and other income (expenses) partly offset by lower costs for R,D&E, net, as outlined above. Adjusted operating income* decreased by $6 million compared to the prior year, due to the lower gross profit, higher S,G&A costs and other income (expenses) partly offset by lower costs for R,D&E, net, as outlined above. Financial and non-operating items, net, was negative $29 million compared to negative $30 million a year earlier. Income before taxes decreased by $4 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to the lower operating income. Tax rate was 29.6% compared to 33.4% in the same period last year. The lower tax rate was impacted by a favorable country mix compared to the same quarter last year. Discrete tax items, net, decreased the tax rate this quarter by 1.2pp. Discrete tax items, net, increased the tax rate by 0.2pp in the same period last year. Earnings per share, diluted increased by $0.17 compared to a year earlier. The main drivers were $0.12 from lower number of shares and $0.10 from lower taxes, partly offset by $0.05 from lower operating income. ===== SIDA 10 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 9 First nine months 2024 development Gross profit increased by $85 million, and the gross margin increased by 1.0pp compared to the same period in 2023. More than half of the improvement in gross profit was driven by the increase in net sales, but lower costs for labor and premium freight also contributed to the improvement following more stable customer call-offs and headcount reductions. S,G&A costs increased by $18 million compared to the prior year. The main reason for the cost increase was higher costs for personnel, due to the high wage inflation. S,G&A costs in relation to sales increased from 4.9% to 5.1%. R,D&E, net costs decreased by $19 million compared to the prior year. Higher engineering income explain almost the entire improvement. R,D&E, net, in relation to sales decreased from 4.4% to 4.2%. Other income (expense), net was negative $27 million compared to negative $115 million in the same period last year, almost entirely due to lower capacity alignment accruals compared to the same period previous year. Operating income increased by $173 million compared to the same period in 2023, mainly due to the increase in gross profit, and lower capacity alignment accruals, as outlined above. Adjusted operating income* increased by $71 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to higher gross profit and lower R,D&E, net partly offset by higher costs for S,G&A, as outlined above. Financial and non-operating items, net, was negative $73 million compared to negative $60 million a year earlier. The change was mainly due to increased interest expense as the result of higher debt and higher interest rates. Income before taxes increased by $161 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to the increase in operating income and financial and non-operating items, net, as outlined above. Tax rate was 27.0% compared to 33.4% in the same period last year. The lower tax rate was impacted by favorable country mix compared to the prior year. Discrete tax items, net, decreased the tax rate this period by 2.8pp. Discrete tax items, net, decreased the tax rate by 0.6pp in the same period last year. Earnings per share, diluted increased by $1.94 compared to a year earlier. The main drivers were $1.67 from higher operating income, $0.29 from lower number of shares and $0.09 from taxes partly offset by $0.11 from higher financial and non-operating items, net. ===== SIDA 11 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 10 Selected Cash Flow and Balance Sheet items Selected Cash Flow items Third quarter First 9 months (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 Change 2024 2023 Change Net income $139 $134 3.4% $404 $262 55% Changes in operating working capital (68) (36) 88% (54) (8) 593% Depreciation and amortization 97 95 1.8% 289 281 2.7% Other, net 10 9 14% 1 1 6% Operating cash flow 177 202 (12)% 639 535 19% Capital expenditure, net (145) (151) (4.1)% (431) (419) 3% Free cash flow1) $32 $50 (36)% $208 $117 79% Cash conversion2) 23% 37% (14)pp 52% 45% 7pp Shareholder returns - Dividends paid (54) (56) (3.8)% (164) (169) (2.8)% - Share repurchases (130) (120) 8.2% (450) (202) 123% Cash dividend paid per share $(0.68) $(0.66) 2.7% $(2.04) $(1.98) 2.7% Capital expenditures, net in relation to sales 5.7% 5.8% (0.1)pp 5.5% 5.4% 0.1pp 1) Operating cash flow less Capital expenditure, net.

Third quarter 2024 development Changes in operating working capital impacted operating cash flow by $68 million negative compared to an impact of $36 million negative in the same period the prior year. Almost all of the $68 million impact in the quarter came from increases in inventories due to high customer call off volatility at the end of the quarter and higher receivables, mainly as a result of seasonally higher sales in September. Other, net was $10 million positive compared to $9 million positive in the same period the prior year. Operating cash flow decreased by $25 million to $177 million compared to the same period last year, mainly due to that operating working capital increased by $34 million more than it increased the same period last year, as outlined above. Capital expenditure, net decreased by $6 million compared to the same period the previous year. The level of Capital expenditure, net, in relation to sales was relatively stable at 5.7% versus 5.8% a year earlier. The level is currently above what we expect for the longer term, due to investments in capacity, mainly in Asia, and in footprint optimization, mainly in Europe and the Americas. Free cash flow* was positive $32 million compared to positive $50 million in the same period the prior year. The decrease was due to the lower operating cash flow partly offset by the lower capital expenditure, net. Cash conversion* defined as free cash flow* in relation to net income, was 23% in the quarter. ===== SIDA 12 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 11 Trade working capital* increased by $4 million compared to the same period last year, where the main drivers were $13 million in higher accounts receivables, $24 million in higher accounts payable and $15 million in higher inventories. In relation to sales, trade working capital increased from 12.5% to 12.8%. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 was around $0.4 billion, while committed, unused loan facilities, was around $1.2 billion. Net debt* was $1,787 million as of September 30, 2024, which was $412 million higher than a year earlier. Total equity as of September 30, 2024, decreased by $188 million compared to September 30, 2023. This was mainly due to $221 million in dividend payments and stock repurchases including taxes of $608 million, partly offset by $632 million from net income. Leverage ratio*: On September 30, 2024, the Company had a leverage ratio of 1.4x compared to 1.3x on September 30, 2023, as the 12 months trailing adjusted EBITDA* increased by around $187 million while the net debt* per the policy increased by around $407 million. First nine months 2024 development Operating cash flow increased by $104 million compared to the same period last year, to $639 million, mainly due to higher net income, partly offset by more negative effects from increased operating working capital. Capital expenditure, net increased by $12 million. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was relatively stable at 5.5% versus 5.4% the prior year period. The level is currently slightly above what we expect for the longer term, due to investments in capacity, mainly in Asia, and in footprint optimization, mainly in Europe and the Americas. Free cash flow* was positive $208 million, compared to positive $117 million in the same period last year. The improvement was due to the higher operating cash flow partly offset by higher capital expenditure, net. Cash conversion* defined as free cash flow* in relation to net income, was 52% in the period.

The indirect workforce decreased by around 800, or by 4.4%, mainly reflecting our structural reduction initiatives. The direct workforce decreased by approximately 3,100, or by 5.9%, partly due to that an improvement in customer call- off accuracy in the third quarter has enabled us to accelerate operating efficiency improvements. Compared to June 30, 2024, total headcount (FTE) decreased by around 1,500, or by 2.2%. Indirect headcount decreased by around 100, or by 0.6%, while direct headcount decreased by approximately 1,300, or by 2.5%. ===== SIDA 13 ===== Kvartalsrapport juli - september 2024 12 Other Items • On September 13, 2024, the Autoliv Board of Directors appointed Ms. Adriana Karaboutis as an independent director to the Autoliv Board of Directors effective immediately.

We believe that these measures assist investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company's business for the reasons given below. Investors should not consider these non -U.S. GAAP measures as substitutes, but rather as additions, to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should be noted that these measures, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Components in Sales Increase/Decrease Since the Company historically generates approximately 75% of sales in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e., U.S. dollars) and currency rates have been volatile, we analyze the Company's sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates. The tables on pages 5 and 6 present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales. Trade Working Capital Due to the need to optimize cash generation to create value for shareholders, management focuses on operationally derived trade working capital as defined in the table below. The reconciling items used to derive this measure are, by contrast, managed as part of our overall management of cash and debt, but they are not part of the responsibilities of day -to-day operations management.

Creditors and credit rating agencies use net debt adjusted for DRDs in their analyses of the Company’s debt, therefore we provide this non -U.S. GAAP measure. DRDs are fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the underlying debt. Also included in the DRDs is the unamortized fair value adjus tment 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.

Management uses this measure to analyze the amount of debt the Company can incur under its debt policy. Management believes that this policy also provides guidance to credit and equity investors regarding the extent to which the Company would be prepared to leverage its operations. Autoliv’s policy is to maintain a leverage ratio commensurate with a strong investment grade credit rating. The Company measures its leverage ratio as net debt* adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to adjusted EBITDA*. The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio of around 1.0x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x.

This measure indicates the Company’s cash flow generation level that enables strategic value creation options such as dividends or acquisitions. For details on free cash flow, see the reconciliation table below. Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure “cash conversion” to analyze the proportion of net income that is converted into free 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.

To assist investors in understanding the operating performance of Autoliv's business, it is useful to consider certain U.S. GAAP measures exclusive of these items. The following table reconciles Income before income taxes, Net income attributable to controlling interest, Capital employed, which are inputs utilized to calculate Return On Capital Employed (“ROCE”), adjusted ROCE and Return On Total Equity (“ROE”). The Company believes this presentation may be useful to investors and industry analysts who utilize these adjusted non-U.S. GAAP measures in their ROCE and ROE calculations to exclude certain items for comparison purposes across periods. Autoliv’s management uses the ROCE, adjusted ROCE and ROE measures for purposes of comparing its financial performance with the financial performance of other companies in the industry and providing useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. As used by the Company, ROCE is annualized operating income and income from equity method investments, relative to average capital employed. Adjusted ROCE is annualized operating income and income from equity method investments, relative to average capital employed as adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring items. The Company believes ROCE and adjusted ROCE are useful indicators of long-term performance both absolute and relative to the Company's peers as it allows for a comparison of the profitability of the Company’s capital employed in its business relative to that of its peers. ROE is the ratio of annualized income (loss) relative to average total equity for the periods presented. The Company’s management believes that ROE is a useful indicator of how well management creates value for its shareholders through its operating activities and its capital management.
