Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(U.S. DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Spin-Off

On June 29, 2018 (the “Distribution Date”), Veoneer, Inc. (“Veoneer” or “the Company”) became an independent, publicly-traded company as a result of the distribution by Autoliv, Inc. (“Autoliv” or “Former Parent”) of 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Veoneer to the stockholders of Autoliv (the “Spin-Off”). Each Autoliv stockholder and holder of Autoliv’s Swedish Depository Receipts (SDRs) of record as of certain specified dates received one share of Veoneer common stock or one Veoneer SDR, respectively, for every one share of Autoliv common stock or Autoliv SDR. The Spin-Off was completed on June 29, 2018 in a tax free transaction pursuant to Section 355 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

On July 2, 2018, Veoneer common stock began regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “VNE” and Veoneer SDRs began trading on Nasdaq Stockholm under the symbol “VNE-SDB”. Agreements entered into between Veoneer and Autoliv in connection with the Spin-Off govern the relationship between the parties following the Spin-Off and provide for the allocation of various assets, liabilities, rights and obligations. These agreements also include arrangements for transition services to be provided on a temporary basis between the parties.

In advance of the Spin-Off, Autoliv completed a series of internal transactions, in which Autoliv transferred its Electronics business to Veoneer. These transactions are referred to herein as the “internal reorganization”. The internal reorganization was completed on April 1, 2018.

The Company has two operating segments, Electronics and Brake Systems. Electronics includes all electronics resources and expertise, Restraint Control Systems and Active Safety products, and Brake Systems provides brake control and actuation systems.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018 have been prepared from Autoliv’s historical accounting records and are presented on a stand-alone basis as if the operations had been conducted independently from Autoliv. Prior to the Spin-Off, Autoliv’s net investment in these operations (Net Former Parent Investment) is shown in lieu of a controlling interest’s equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the Spin-Off and the related distribution of shares, Veoneer Common stock, Additional paid-in capital and future income (losses) were reflected in Retained earnings (Accumulated deficit). For periods prior to June 29, 2018, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a combined basis and for the periods subsequent to June 29, 2018, they are presented on a consolidated basis (all periods hereinafter are referred to as "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements").

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the historical operations, assets, and liabilities that were considered to comprise the Veoneer business. The allocations and estimates in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018 are based on assumptions that management of Autoliv and Veoneer believe are reasonable. However, the historical statements of operations, comprehensive loss, balance sheets, and cash flows of Veoneer included herein may not be indicative of what they would have been had Veoneer actually been a stand-alone entity during such periods, nor are they necessarily indicative of Veoneer's future results.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Veoneer do not include all of the information and notes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to Veoneer’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and corresponding notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019.

Certain amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not reconcile due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

Joint Venture with Nissin Kogyo

On June 14, 2019, the Company signed agreements with Nissin Kogyo, its joint venture partner in Veoneer Nissin Brake Systems ("VNBS"), providing for certain structural changes to the joint venture and the funding of VNBS.

Pursuant to the agreements, Veoneer acquired Nissin Kogyo’s interests in the US operations of VNBS, referred to as Veoneer Nissin Brake America ("VNBA"), and VNBS transferred or licensed the VNBS technologies necessary to operate the VNBA

business to VNBA. VNBA, including the transferred or licensed technologies, is a wholly-owned Veoneer business effective on the closing date, June 28, 2019. VNBS will also provide certain transition services to VNBA.

The VNBS operations in Japan and China will remain a part of the joint venture, with Veoneer owning 51% and Nissin Kogyo owning 49% of the joint venture.

Under the agreement, Nissin Kogyo provided guarantees for certain VNBS commercial loans corresponding to 49% of the funding Veoneer had previously unilaterally provided to VNBS. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 Veoneer received approximately $20 million as debt repayment from VNBS.

The agreement between Veoneer and Nissin Kogyo resolves the funding situation previously described by Veoneer in its public filings and allows for Veoneer to continue reviewing and evaluating the development priorities and strategic options with respect to its brake systems business.

Follow-on Offerings

On May 28, 2019, the Company completed follow-on public offerings of 24,000,000 shares of common stock and $207 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) (including $27 million aggregate principal amount pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional notes). The public offering price for our common stock offering was $17.50 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $404 million from the common stock offering and approximately $200 million from the Notes offering, in each case after deducting the underwriting discounts and issuance costs directly attributable to each offering.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019.

New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 affects any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exceptions. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 in the annual period beginning January 1, 2019. The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use the effective date January 1, 2019, as the date of initial application. The Company did not adjust its comparative period financial statements for effects of ASU 2016-02, and has not made the new required lease disclosures for periods before the effective date. The Company has recognized its cumulative effect transition adjustment as of the effective date. In addition, the Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, have allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The adoption of the new standard resulted in recording operating lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $75 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of the new lease standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Statements of Cash Flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance. In 2016, the FASB issued accounting standard updates to address implementation issues and to clarify guidance in certain areas. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 requires certain additional disclosure around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 and utilized the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative adjustment to equity. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. ASU 2018-14 removes the requirements to disclose: amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year; the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates. ASU 2018-14 requires disclosure of an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held and requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is

effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Company’s pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 4. Leases

The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, manufacturing and research buildings, machinery, automobiles, data processing and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 12 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 month to 2 year(s). As of June 30, 2019, assets recorded under finance leases were $49 million, and accumulated depreciation associated with finance leases was $4 million.

The Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease components from non-lease components for all its underlying assets.

If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company uses its best judgment when determining the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term to the lease payments in a similar currency.

The components of lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:



(Dollars in millions)	Three months ended June 30, 2019		Six months ended June 30, 2019

These operating leases will commence during 2019 with lease terms of 2 years to 15 years.

Note 5. Debt

The Company’s short and long-term debt consists of the following:



	As of
(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Short-Term Debt:
Short-term borrowings	$	20	$	—
Long-Term Debt:
4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (Carrying value)	$	156	$	—
Total Debt	$	176	$	—

Short-Term Debt:

Short-term borrowings are primarily related to the Company's non-U.S. joint ventures and are payable in Japanese Yen. The term loan bears interest at a rate of 0.58% per year.

Long-Term Debt:

4.00% Convertible Senior Notes

On May 28, 2019, the Company issued, in a registered public offering in the U.S., Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $207 million. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2019. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2024, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes were approximately $200 million, after deducting issuance costs of $7 million. The Company accounted for these issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Notes. These costs are being amortized into interest expense for 5 years or through June 2024.

The conversion rate was initially 44.8179 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.3125 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur

prior to the maturity date or if the Company deliver a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be. In no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of notes as a result of this adjustment exceed 57.1428 shares of common stock, as stipulated in the indenture.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to June 1, 2022. On or after this date, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Notes will be the Company's general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, equal in right of payment with all of the Company's liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2024 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2019 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the "trading price" (as defined in the indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after March 1, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at the Company's election, as stipulated in the indenture.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the conversion option, which does not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as it is indexed to the Company's own stock, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Notes. The difference between the principal amount of the Notes and the liability component represents the debt discount, which is recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability in the consolidated and condensed balance sheet and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes. The effective interest rate on the Notes is 10%. The equity component of the Notes of approximately $46 million is included in additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The Company allocated transaction costs related to the Notes using the same proportions as the proceeds from the Notes. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes, and transaction costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in shareholders’ equity.

The following table presents the outstanding principal amount and carrying value of the Notes:



4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024	As of
(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Principal amount (face value)	$	207		$	—
Unamortized issuance cost	(5		)	—
Unamortized debt discount	(46		)	—
Net Carrying value	$	156		$	—

The Company recognized total interest expense related to Notes of approximately $1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The estimated fair value of the Notes was $156 million as of June 30, 2019. The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The fair value is classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 6, Fair Value Measurements.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the observability of the inputs utilized in the valuation. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

Level 1 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Assets which are valued at net asset value per share ("NAV"), or its equivalent, as a practical expedient are reported outside the fair value hierarchy, but are included in the total assets for reporting and reconciliation purposes.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Derivative instruments - The Company uses derivative financial instruments, “derivatives”, to mitigate the market risk that occurs from its exposure to changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company’s use of derivatives is in accordance with the strategies contained in the Company’s overall financial risk policy. The derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2019 were foreign exchange swaps. All swaps principally match the terms and maturity of the underlying debt and no swaps have a maturity beyond six months. All derivatives are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value. Certain derivatives are from time to time designated either as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges in line with the hedge accounting criteria. For certain other derivatives hedge accounting is not applied either because non-hedge accounting treatment creates the same accounting result or the hedge does not meet the hedge accounting requirements, although entered into applying the same rationale concerning mitigating market risk that occurs from changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company’s derivatives are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and there were no transfers between the levels during this or comparable periods.

During the first quarter of 2018, forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of certain external purchasing were terminated. The loss associated with such termination was not material.

Financial Statement Presentation

The Company enters into master netting agreements, International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with all derivative counterparties. The netting agreements allow for netting of exposures in the event of default or breach of the counterparty agreement. The fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been presented on a gross basis. Derivative financial instruments designated and non-designated as hedging instruments are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The notional value of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was $127 million as of June 30, 2019 and $103 million as of December 31, 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the asset of the derivatives not

designated as hedging instruments was $1 million, and as of December 31, 2018, the asset of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was less than $1 million.

Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were a gain of less than $1 million and a loss of less than $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and a gain of $1 million and a gain of $1 million, respectively.

Contingent consideration - The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the M/A-COM acquisition on August 17, 2015 is re-measured on a recurring basis. The fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company adjusted the fair value of the earn-out liability to $14 million in the first quarter of 2017 based on actual revenue levels to date as well as changes in the estimated probability of different revenue scenarios for the remaining contractual earn-out period. Income of approximately $13 million was recognized within Other income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2017 due to the decrease in the contingent consideration liability. The remaining fair value of the earn-out liability of $14 million as of December 31, 2017 was fully released and recognized within Other income in the first quarter of 2018, driven by changes in the estimated probability of different revenue scenarios for the remaining contractual earn-out period such that management no longer believes that there are any scenarios under which the earn-out criteria could be met. Management has updated its analysis as of June 30, 2019 and continues to believe that the fair value of the contingent consideration is $0 million.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets include long-lived assets, intangible assets and investments in affiliates, which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The Company has determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions about the use of the assets and settlements of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available. The Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived assets, then discounts the future cash flows over the expected life of the long-lived assets. No such non-recurring measurements were made during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Investments

The Company may, as a practical expedient, estimate the fair value of certain investments using NAV of the investment as of the reporting date. This practical expedient generally deals with investments that permit an investor to redeem its investment directly with, or receive distributions from, the investee at times specified in the investee’s governing documents. Examples of these investments (often referred to as alternative investments) may include ownership interests in real assets, certain credit strategies, and hedging and diversifying strategies. They are commonly in the form of limited partnership interests. The Company uses NAV as a practical expedient when valuing investments in alternative asset classes and funds which are a limited partnership or similar investment vehicle.

On June 30, 2017, Veoneer committed to make a $15 million investment in Autotech Fund I, L.P. pursuant to a limited partnership agreement, and as a limited partner, will periodically make capital contributions toward this total commitment amount. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Veoneer contributed approximately $10 million and $8 million, respectively, to the investment in Autotech Fund I, L.P.

The carrying amounts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in Investments for the Autotech Fund I, L.P approximates its fair values.

Note 7. Income Taxes

The income tax benefit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 was $10 million and $4 million, respectively. The income tax provision for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $3 million and $10 million, respectively. Discrete items, net were a benefit of $8 million and $5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 , respectively and a provision of $1 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018. Veoneer's effective tax rate differs from an expected statutory rate primarily due to prior year provision-to-return adjustments, an intraperiod tax allocation related to the Notes issuance, and losses in certain jurisdictions that are not benefited. Under the intraperiod tax allocation rules, the deferred tax liability created upon the issuance of the Notes and recorded through Additional Paid-in Capital is treated as a source of income, which enables the Company to recognize a tax benefit of $5 million for the U.S. loss before income taxes through continuing operations for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019. The tax benefit related to the issuance of the Notes will be recognized ratably throughout the year and will not recur in future years.

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. The Company has completed its accounting for the effects of the Act on the Company’s deferred tax balances as of the enactment date. Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement entered into with Autoliv in connection with the Spin-Off, Autoliv is the primary obligor on all taxes which relate to any period prior to April 1, 2018. Consequently, the Company is not liable for any transition taxes under the Act.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company assesses all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance. Valuation allowances have been established for the Company’s United States, Swedish, French, Japanese operations, certain Chinese operations and the Company’s joint venture in Japan.

The Company has reserves for income taxes that represent the Company’s best estimate of the potential liability for tax exposures. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax exposures due to changes in tax law, both legislated and concluded through the various jurisdictions’ court systems. Any income tax liabilities resulting from operations prior to April 1, 2018, are assumed to be settled with Former Parent on the last day Veoneer was part of the Autoliv group and were relieved through the Net Former Parent investment. There were no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2019. The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, and various states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Under local tax law, a Veoneer entity may have been required to file its income tax returns combined with an Autoliv entity up to and including the date of the Spin-Off. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, Veoneer files its income tax returns on a stand-alone basis.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

Note 9. Equity Method Investment

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has one equity method investment, which is in Zenuity, a 50% ownership joint venture with Volvo cars.

During the second quarter of 2019, Veoneer contributed SEK 100 million (approximately $11 million) in cash (representing 50% of the total contribution, with the remainder made by Volvo Cars) into Zenuity to support its future operating cash flow needs.

During the first quarter of 2018, Veoneer contributed SEK 600 million (approximately $71 million) in cash (representing 50% of the total contribution, with the remainder made by Volvo Cars) into Zenuity to support its future operating cash flow needs.

The profit and loss attributed to the investment is shown in the line item Loss from equity method investment in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Veoneer’s share of Zenuity’s loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $18 million and $35 million, respectively. Veoneer’s share of Zenuity’s loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $16 million and $30 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s equity investment in Zenuity was $73 million and $101 million, respectively, after consideration of foreign exchange movements.

Certain unaudited summarized income statement information of Zenuity, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, is shown below:

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The defined benefit pension plans impacting Veoneer's financial results include the following:

Existing Veoneer Plans comprised of plans in Japan, Canada, and France, Transferred Veoneer Plans comprised of plans in Germany, India, Japan, and South Korea, and Autoliv Sponsored Plans comprised of plans in Sweden and the U.S.

Existing Veoneer Plans

The defined benefit pension plans for eligible participants in Japan, Canada, and France prior to the Spin-Off continue to provide pension retirement benefits to the Company’s employees subsequent to the Spin-Off.

The Company’s net periodic benefit costs for the existing Veoneer plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30					Six Months Ended June 30
(Dollars in millions)	2019			2018		2019			2018
Service cost	$	1		$	1	$	3		$	2
Interest cost	—			1		1			1
Expected return on plan assets	(1		)	—		(1		)	(1		)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	—		$	2	$	3		$	2

All components of pension cost (service cost, amortization cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial loss) were not material in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Transferred Veoneer Plans

Prior to the plan transfers to Veoneer legal entities on April 1, 2018, eligible Veoneer employees participated in the following Autoliv-sponsored plans:



Country	Name of Defined Benefit Plans
Germany	Direct Pension Promises Plan
India	Gratuity Plan
Japan	Retirement Allowances Plan
Japan	Defined Benefit Corporate Plan
South Korea	Severance Pay Plan (statutory plan)

On April 1, 2018, the assets, liabilities, and associated accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of the pension plans in Germany, India, Japan, and South Korea related to active Veoneer employees were transferred to pension plans sponsored by various Veoneer legal entities. Benefit plan obligations of $6 million were recorded by Veoneer related to these plans in connection with the April 1, 2018 transfer. Plan assets in the transferred plans are immaterial. The amounts recorded for the transfer of the Veoneer plans were based on the assumptions incorporated into the plan measurements as of December 31, 2017; however, management determined that there were no material changes in assumptions from December 31, 2017 to April 1, 2018.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost Associated with the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

The Company’s allocated net periodic benefit costs for these defined benefit plans were less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The allocated net periodic benefit costs related to transferred plans from Autoliv to Veoneer were less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Subsequent to the plan transfer on April 1, 2018, the components of net periodic benefit costs for these defined benefit plans were less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Autoliv Sponsored Plans

Prior to certain legal decisions or plan amendments, Veoneer employees in Sweden and in the U.S. participated in the following Autoliv-sponsored multi-employer plans:



Country	Name of Defined Benefit Plans
Sweden	ITP plan
U.S.	Autoliv ASP, Inc. Pension Plan
	Autoliv ASP, Inc. Excess Pension Plan
	Autoliv ASP, Inc. Supplemental Pension Plan

On April 1, 2018, it was determined that the assets, liabilities, and associated accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of the Sweden plan for all Veoneer employees included in the Sweden plan will remain with Autoliv and benefits will be paid out of that plan in the future upon retirement. The allocation to capture the Company’s specific defined benefit plans expense and contributions prior to the plans amendment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were less than $1 million.

On June 29, 2018, it was also determined that the assets, liabilities and associated accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of the U.S. plan for all Veoneer employees included in the U.S. plan will remain with Autoliv and benefits will be paid out of that plan in the future upon retirement. The Veoneer employees were considered to be participating in the Autoliv sponsored plan through June 29, 2018 at which date the plan was amended to freeze the accrual of benefits for any Veoneer employees.

Note 12. Stock Incentive Plan

The Veoneer, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan was established and effective on June 29, 2018 to govern the Company’s stock-based awards that will be granted in the future. The Veoneer, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of 3 million shares of Veoneer common stock for future equity awards to Veoneer employees and non-employee directors and authorizes up to 1.5 million additional shares to be used for the conversion of outstanding Autoliv stock awards in connection with the Spin-Off. Approximately 1 million shares were used for the conversion of the outstanding grants.

In February, March and May 2019, under the Company’s long-term incentive (LTI) program, certain employees received restricted stock units (RSUs) without dividend equivalent rights and performance shares (PSs) without dividend equivalent rights. The allocation between RSUs and PSs for the grants made in February, March and May was 133,362 RSUs and 126,037 PSs at 100% target.

The RSUs were granted on February 19, 2019, March 1, 2019 and May 13, 2019 and will vest on the second or third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment with the Company on the vesting date and acceleration of vesting in certain circumstances. The fair value of RSUs and PSs granted in 2019 were calculated by using the closing stock price on the grant dates. The grant date fair value for the RSUs and PSs, granted on February 19, 2019, March 1, 2019 and May 13, 2019, was $4 million and $1 million, respectively.

The PSs were granted on February 19, 2019, March 1, 2019 and May 13, 2019 and will earn out during the first quarter of 2022, upon the Compensation Committee’s certification of achievement of the applicable performance goals. The grantee may earn 0%-200% of the target number of PSs based on the Company’s achievement of specified targets. The performance target is the Company’s gross margin for the applicable performance period. Each PS represents a promise to transfer a share of the Company’s common stock to the employee following completion of the performance period, provided that the performance goals mentioned above are met and provided, further, that the grantee remains employed through the performance period, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Certain eligible Veoneer employees participate in the Autoliv, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) sponsored by the Former Parent. Under the Former Parent’s Plan, employees receive 50% of their LTI grant value in the form of PSs and 50% in the form of RSUs commencing with grants in February 2016. Prior to this, stock options and RSUs were issued. The source of the shares issued upon vesting of awards is generally from Autoliv treasury shares.

The grantee may earn 0-200% of the target number of PSs based on achievement of specified targets for Former Parent’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for sales and Former Parent’s CAGR in earnings per share relative to an established benchmark growth rate. Each performance target is weighted 50% and results are measured at the end of the three-year performance period. Each PS represents a promise to transfer a share of the Former Parent’s common stock to the employee following completion of the performance period, provided that the performance goals mentioned above are met and provided, further, that the grantee remains employed through the performance period, subject to certain limited exceptions.

In February 2018, under the Former Parent’s LTI program, certain Veoneer employees received RSUs with dividend rights. The RSUs were granted on February 18, 2018 and will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of RSUs granted in 2018 is calculated by using the closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value for the RSUs granted on February 18, 2018 was $6 million.

Veoneer recognized total stock (RSUs PSs and Stock Options) compensation cost of $2 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $1 million and $2 million, respectively.

Note 13. Contingent Liabilities

Legal Proceedings

Various claims, lawsuits and proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company, covering a range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities with respect to commercial, product liability and other matters. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any litigation cannot be assured. After discussions with counsel, it is the opinion of management that the various legal proceedings and investigations to which the Company currently is a party will not have a material adverse impact on the condensed consolidated financial position of Veoneer, but the Company cannot provide assurance that Veoneer will not experience material litigation, product liability or other losses in the future.

Product Warranty, Recalls, and Intellectual Property

Veoneer is exposed to various claims for damages and compensation if its products fail to perform as expected. Such claims can be made, and result in costs and other losses to the Company, even where the product is eventually found to have functioned properly. Where a product (actually or allegedly) fails to perform as expected or is defective, the Company may face warranty and recall claims. Where such (actual or alleged) failure or defect results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage, the Company may also face product liability and other claims. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience material warranty, recall or product (or other) liability claims or losses in the future, or that the Company will not incur significant costs to defend against such claims. The Company may be required to participate in a recall involving its products. Each vehicle manufacturer has its own practices regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating to its suppliers. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the vehicle assembly functions, vehicle manufacturers are increasingly looking to their suppliers for contribution when faced with recalls and product liability claims. Government safety regulators may also play a role in warranty and recall practices. A warranty, recall or product-liability claim brought against the Company in excess of its insurance may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Vehicle manufacturers are also increasingly requiring their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the costs of repair and replacement of such products under new vehicle warranties. A vehicle manufacturer may attempt to hold the Company responsible for some, or all, of the repair or replacement costs of products when the product supplied did not perform as represented by the Company or expected by the customer. Accordingly, the future costs of warranty claims by the customers may be material. However, the Company believes its established reserves are adequate. Veoneer’s warranty reserves are based upon the Company’s best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of these reserves, and adjusts them when appropriate. However, the final amounts actually due related to these matters could differ materially from the Company’s recorded estimates.

In addition, as vehicle manufacturers increasingly use global platforms and procedures, quality performance evaluations are also conducted on a global basis. Any one or more quality, warranty or other recall issue(s) (including those affecting few units and/or having a small financial impact) may cause a vehicle manufacturer to implement measures such as a temporary or prolonged suspension of new orders, which may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company carries insurance for potential recall and product liability claims at coverage levels based on the Company’s prior claims experience. Veoneer cannot assure that the level of coverage will be sufficient to cover every possible claim that can arise in the Company’s businesses, now or in the future, or that such coverage always will be available should the Company, now or in the future, wish to extend, increase or otherwise adjust the Company’s insurance.

In its products, the Company utilizes technologies which may be subject to intellectual property rights of third parties. While the Company does seek to procure the necessary rights to utilize intellectual property rights associated with its products, it may fail to do so. Where the Company so fails, the Company may be exposed to material claims from the owners of such rights. Where the Company has sold products which infringe upon such rights, its customers may be entitled to be indemnified by the Company for the claims they suffer as a result thereof. Such claims could be material.

Product Related Liabilities

The Company records liabilities for product related risks when probable claims are identified and when it is possible to reasonably estimate costs. Provisions for warranty claims are estimated based on prior experience, likely changes in performance of newer products, and volume of the products sold. The provisions are recorded on an accrual basis.

The table below summarizes the change in product related liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.



	Three Months Ended June 30						Six Months Ended June 30
(Dollars in millions)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Reserve at beginning of the period	$	14		$	23		$	16		$	22
Change in reserve	2			1			1			8
Cash payments	(1		)	(1		)	(3		)	(7		)
Reserve at end of the period	$	14		$	23		$	14		$	23

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, provisions and cash paid primarily relate to recall and warranty related issues. The decrease in the reserve balance as of June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year was mainly due to a recall related settlement and cash payments for warranties and product liabilities.

Agreements entered into between Autoliv and Veoneer in connection with the Spin-Off provide for Autoliv to indemnify Veoneer for certain liabilities related to electronics products manufactured before April 1, 2018. As of June 30, 2019 the indemnification asset of $10 million included in the Other current assets offsets substantially all of the product related liabilities. A substantial portion of these costs are subject to indemnification by Autoliv.

Guarantees

The Company provided lease guarantees to Zenuity of $7 million and $8 million as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. These represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that Veoneer could be required to make under the guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed parties. These guarantees will generally cease upon expiration of current lease agreements between 2020 and 2022.

Note 14. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and equity incentive awards is reflected in diluted loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted loss per share excludes all anti-dilutive common stock. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.



	Three Months Ended June 30						Six Months Ended June 30
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Numerator:
Basic and diluted:
Net loss attributable to Veoneer	$	(133	)	$	(63	)	$	(270	)	$	(95	)

Denominator:
Basic: Weighted average number of shares outstanding (in millions)	96.06			87.13			91.68			87.13
Diluted: Weighted-average number of shares outstanding, assuming dilution (in millions)¹	96.06			87.13			91.68			87.13

Basic loss per share	$	(1.39	)	$	(0.72	)	$	(2.94	)	$	(1.09	)
Diluted loss per share	$	(1.39	)	$	(0.72	)	$	(2.94	)	$	(1.09	)

¹ Shares in the diluted loss per share calculation represent basic shares due to the net loss.

In periods when the Company has a net loss, equity incentive awards are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. The Company excluded equity incentive awards of 290,483 and 301,898 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company may settle the conversions of the Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or any combination thereof at its election. For the Notes, the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable at the conversion price of $22.3125 per share would be 9,277,305 shares if all Notes were converted. See Note 5, Debt. Due to anti-dilutive effects, the Company excluded potential convertible shares of 3,364,297 and 1,691,442 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 from the diluted loss per share calculations.

Note 15. Segment Information

Financial results for the Company's reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two operating segments, Electronics and Brake Systems. Electronics includes all of electronics resources and expertise, restraint control systems and active safety products and Brake Systems provides brake control and actuation systems. The operating results of the operating segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, to assess the performance of the individual operating segments and to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the operating segments.

The accounting policies for the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019.

Note 16. Relationship with Former Parent and Related Entities

Prior to the Spin-Off, Veoneer had been managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of Autoliv. Accordingly, certain shared costs had been allocated to Veoneer and reflected as expenses in the stand-alone unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Veoneer management considers the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of historical expenses of Autoliv attributable to Veoneer for purposes of the stand-alone financial statements; however, the expenses reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if Veoneer historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of expenses that will be incurred in the future by Veoneer.

Prior to the Spin-Off, transactions between Autoliv and Veoneer, with the exception of sales and purchase transactions and reimbursements for payments made to third-party service providers by Autoliv on Veoneer’s behalf, are reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity in Net transfers from Former Parent.

Transactions with Related Parties

Veoneer and Autoliv entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") under which certain services are provided by Autoliv to Veoneer and certain services are provided by Veoneer to Autoliv. The Company recognized $1 million and $3 million of expense under the TSA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $3 million and $3 million of expense under the TSA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 respectively. The Company recognized less than $1 million of income under the TSA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and less than $1 million of income under the TSA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Throughout the periods covered by the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Veoneer sold finished goods to Autoliv and Nissin Kogyo, the 49% owner in VNBS (a 51% owned subsidiary). Related party sales amount to $26 million and $52 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and $39 million and $80 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Related Party Balances

Amounts due to and due from related parties are summarized in the below table:



Related Party	As of
(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Related party receivable	$	16	$	64
Related party notes receivable	—		1
Related party payables	12		16
Related party short-term debt	3		1
Related party long-term debt	12		13

Related party receivables are mainly driven by reseller agreements put in place in connection with the Spin-Off. The reseller agreements are between Autoliv and Veoneer and facilitate the temporary arrangement of the sale of Veoneer products manufactured for certain customers for a limited period after the Spin-Off. Autoliv will collect the customer payments and will remit the payments to Veoneer.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all related party long-term debt relates to a capital lease arrangement at VNBS of $12 million and $13 million, respectively. The finance lease is with Nissin Kogyo, the 49% owner of VNBS.

Corporate Costs/Allocations

For the periods prior to April 1, 2018, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include corporate costs incurred by Autoliv for services that are provided to or on behalf of Veoneer. These costs consist of allocated cost pools and direct costs. Corporate costs have been directly charged to, or allocated to, Veoneer using methods management believes are consistent and reasonable. The method for allocating corporate function costs to Veoneer is based on various formulas involving allocation factors. The methods for allocating corporate administration costs to Veoneer are based on revenue, headcount, or other relevant metrics. However, the expenses reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if Veoneer historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. All corporate charges and allocations have been deemed paid by Veoneer to Autoliv in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Effective April 1, 2018, Veoneer began performing certain functions using internal resources or third parties, and certain other services continued to be provided by Autoliv and directly charged to Veoneer. In addition, Veoneer personnel perform certain services for Autoliv, which are directly charged to Autoliv.

Allocated corporate costs included in Costs of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses and Research, development and engineering expenses were for shared services and infrastructure provided, which includes costs such as information technology, accounting, legal, real estate and facilities, corporate advertising, risk and insurance services, treasury, shareholder services and other corporate and infrastructure services.

Cash Management and Financing

Prior to the Spin-Off, Veoneer participated in Autoliv’s centralized cash management and financing programs. Disbursements were made through centralized accounts payable systems operated by Autoliv. Cash receipts were transferred to centralized accounts, also maintained by Autoliv. As cash was disbursed and received by Autoliv, it was accounted for by Veoneer through the Net Former Parent investment. All short-term and long-term debt was financed by Autoliv or by Nissin Kogyo and financing decisions for wholly and majority owned subsidiaries were determined by Autoliv’s corporate treasury operations. On the Distribution Date, Veoneer held approximately $1 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Upon the Spin-Off, Veoneer created its own corporate treasury operations.

Note 17. Factoring

The Company receives bank notes generally maturing within six months from certain of its customers in China to settle trade accounts receivable. The Company may hold such bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has entered into arrangements with financial institutions and sold $36 million of trade receivables without recourse and $23 million of bank notes without recourse, which qualify as a sale as all rights

to the trade and notes receivable have passed to the financial institution. There were no factoring arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has $7 million of trade notes receivables which remain outstanding and will mature within the second half of 2019. The collections of such bank notes are included in operating cash flows based on the substance of the underlying transactions, which are operating in nature.

Note 18. Subsequent Events

The Company continues to engage in discussions with Volvo Cars, its Zenuity JV partner, regarding the development priorities of Zenuity in light of the market shift toward autonomous vehicle solutions. The outcome of these discussions may influence the level of funding and participation of Veoneer in the Zenuity JV, as well as future sharing of intellectual property and IP licenses. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company made a capital contribution SEK 200 million (approximately $21 million) to the Zenuity JV.

Veoneer is a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices in Stockholm, Sweden. The Company functions as a holding corporation and owns two principal operating subsidiaries, Veoneer AB and Veoneer US, Inc. On June 29, 2018 the spin-off of Veoneer from Autoliv, Inc. ("Autoliv") was completed through the distribution by Autoliv of all the outstanding shares of common stock of Veoneer to Autoliv’s stockholders as of the close of business on June 12, 2018, the common stock record date for the distribution, in a tax-free, pro rata distribution (the "Spin-Off"). On July 2, 2018, the shares of Veoneer common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNE” and the Veoneer Swedish Depository Receipts representing shares of Veoneer common stock commenced trading on Nasdaq Stockholm under the symbol “VNE SDB.”

Veoneer is a global leader in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of automotive safety electronics with a focus on innovation, quality and manufacturing excellence. Prior to the Spin-Off, Veoneer operated for almost four years as an operating segment within Autoliv. Veoneer's safety systems are designed to make driving safer and easier, more comfortable and convenient for the end consumer and to intervene before a collision to avoid a potentially hazardous situation. Veoneer endeavors to prevent vehicle accidents or reduce the severity of impact in the event a crash is unavoidable. Through our customer focus, and being an expert partner with our customers, we intend to develop human centric systems that benefit vehicle occupants.

Veoneer’s current product offerings include automotive radars, mono and stereo vision cameras, night vision systems, positioning systems, ADAS (advanced driver assist systems) electronic control units, passive safety electronics (airbag control units and crash sensors), brake control systems and a complete ADAS software offering towards highly automated driving (HAD) and eventually autonomous driving (AD). In addition, we offer driver monitoring systems, LiDAR sensors, RoadScape positioning and other technologies critical for HAD and AD solutions by leveraging our partnership network and internally developed intellectual property.

Executive Overview

The fusion of the automotive and technology industries is continuing, and this quarter we saw the pace of change accelerating, with new alliances and partnerships being formed on almost a weekly basis. Industry announcements and statements during the quarter also confirmed that the main trend for the decade to come is collaborative driving, with fully autonomous vehicles only playing a significant role towards the end of the next decade. This clear shift in industry focus toward advanced driver support

systems plays into the strengths of the Veoneer product portfolio which is supported by the continued expansion of our customer base.

The rapid introduction of new technologies in the automotive industry creates tremendous opportunities, but also challenges in ensuring that the technology is safe, robust and user-friendly enough to be implemented in millions of new vehicles. The weakness in the global light vehicle production is currently impacting us and while market forecasts still anticipate the second half of 2019 to be somewhat stronger than the first, it is a less pronounced comeback, coupled with increased uncertainty, than what was anticipated a few months back.

With this as a backdrop, the results for the second quarter were better than we earlier indicated due to the strong execution of our market adjustment initiatives including:

○ cash flow was significantly better than expected due to diligent management of working capital and capital expenditures,

○ early positive results from engineering process improvements, built on broader platform reuse, has led to productivity and efficiency increases resulting in a lower RD&E cost run rate, and

○ the initiation of a partnering model in the area of data annotation activities, which is part of our initiative to drive efficiencies.

We executed two key strategic projects during the quarter. First, and most importantly, we completed a successful capital raise of $627 million through the sales of a combination of common stock and convertible senior notes. This raise, which was oversubscribed by approximately three times, provides us with the financial stability needed to execute on our strong order book, while at the same time enabling Veoneer to become an agile leader in the new autotech industry. Secondly, we resolved the short-term funding issue in our brake control joint venture VNBS and in mid-June we acquired 100% of the entity responsible for its US operations. This successful resolution better positions us to continue with our strategic review of options for VNBS and will allow us to act quickly once the path forward is decided.

Our technology development is also progressing rapidly. This quarter we saw the first on-road public demonstration of the full Zenuity software stack integrated with Veoneer’s computing solution and sensor suite - an important milestone for our company. In the second half of 2019 the business environment is likely to be tougher than previously anticipated. We remain fully focused on securing $1.2 billion in order intake, executing on our current customer programs and upcoming important launches, delivering on our market adjustment initiatives program and gradually returning to organic growth with improving EBIT and cash flow in 2020.

2019 Outlook

The financial results for the second quarter developed better than our internal expectations sequentially from the first quarter in 2019, and cash flow was better than anticipated, due to strong working capital performance and lower than expected CapEx.

Looking ahead to the third quarter of 2019, our sales are expected to be slightly lower while our operating loss is expected to remain at approximately the same level, both as compared sequentially to the second quarter of 2019. Our expected sales development is in line with the slight sequential decline in the light vehicle production between the second and third quarters.

The second half of 2019 is still expected to improve in both sales and margins from the first half of 2019, although our return to organic sales growth is likely delayed until 2020 due to the deterioration in the expected LVP recovery during the second half of 2019. Cash flow for the second half of 2019 is expected to remain approximately at the same levels as the first half of 2019, due to the strong performance during the second quarter.

To summarize our full year 2019 outlook: organic sales are expected to decline in the upper single digits as compared to 2018 while currency translation effects on sales are expected to decline by approximately 2%. We expect RD&E net to improve during the second half of 2019 with a maximum of $600 million for the full year 2019 and still expect cost savings improvements during the second half of 2019 generated from our market adjustment initiatives. We expect order intake for full year 2019 to be at least $1.2 billion future average annual sales, the same level as compared to 2018.

The general lead time from an “order” to the start of production is 2 to 4 years and it may take several months for production of a certain vehicle model to fully ramp up. For example, Active Safety and Restraint Control Systems order intake from 2013 to 2015 is reflected in sales in 2017-2019. We believe that the strong order intake in 2016-2018 will primarily impact organic sales in 2020 to 2022 with some initial benefits coming in late 2019.

Trends, Uncertainties and Opportunities

Trend toward Collaborative Driving

As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019, the environment around us is rapidly changing and we currently see a shift across the automotive and autotech industries. New technologies, creating new levels of interaction and driver support are starting to revolutionize driving, but we also see the driver being actively involved for many years to come. We call this Collaborative Driving; the industry also calls it “Level 2+” driver support. At the same time there is also a growing realization that the introduction of truly self-driving cars will likely take longer and be more expensive than previously anticipated. This fundamental insight opens up new opportunities for companies, including Veoneer, but it also requires a reprioritization of resources. As such, we believe that the market will stay mainly focused on Level 1-Level 2+ autonomous driving solutions for the next decade.

Global Regulatory Developments

Europe continues to take a proactive role in promoting or requiring Active Safety technologies. The European New Car Assessment Program (“NCAP”) continuously updates its test rating program to include more active safety technologies to help the European Union reach its target of cutting road fatalities by 50% by 2030, as compared to 2020. We anticipate strong global sensor adoption rate increases (forward, side and rear) due to the European New Car Assessment Program’s push for crash avoidance, increased adoption rates due to growing demand around ADAS software features, volume growth due to redundant sensing concepts needed for higher levels of autonomy, potential opportunities in relation to compliance with cybersecurity and software updates and step-by-step increased demand for connectivity components as a result.

On May 17, 2018, the European Commission proposed a new mandate, as party of the EU General Safety Regulation roadmap through 2028, to make certain Active Safety features compulsory in light vehicles by 2022. During March of 2019 the EU mandate was adopted as initially proposed by the European Commission. We believe that adoption of the mandate will significantly expand demand for our Active Safety products. Indeed, with respect to sensors and ADAS software features, our order intake since the adoption of the mandate appears to reflect the anticipated increase in demand. In addition, we believe that the mandate and the EU General Safety Regulations (GSR) generally will influence other market regulators as they evaluate their respective vehicle test rating programs and safety legislation.

In China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Key Working Points of Intelligent Connected Vehicle Standardization for 2018 to promote and facilitate the development of the intelligent connected vehicles industry, and advance the development of fundamental standards and those that are in urgent demand. The guideline has pointed out that more than 30 key standards will be defined by 2020 to fund the systems for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and low-level autonomous driving, and a system of over 100 standards will be set up by 2025 for higher level autonomous driving.During the third quarter of 2018, the Chinese government commenced testing of new vehicles according to the new China New Car Assessment Program (CNCAP) where active safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) are required to achieve the maximum safety rating.

On October 4, 2018, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) issued new voluntary guidelines on automated driving systems (ADS) under its “Preparing for the Future of Transportation: Automated Vehicles 3.0” initiative, building on its “Vision for Safety 2.0” from September 2017, which prioritized aligning federal guidance around twelve safety design elements of interest to the auto industry. This initiative should have a positive impact on the adoption of ADAS and Highly Automated Driving (HAD) on the road towards Autonomous Vehicles (AV).

In 2018 the UN Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) created a new Working Party to deal with regulations for Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA). In addition to the EU and Japan, which have both started to work closely together to develop ADAS regulations, in the last 3 years, the U.S. and China have both indicated a willingness to be active in several working groups towards harmonization of future regulations for ADAS and AV. This would create a common umbrella for countries which follow type-approval rules (EU, Japan, Australia) and countries which are outside of type-approval system, e.g., under self-certification regimes (U.S., Korea) or specific national rules (China).

Key future potential regulations are expected for (i) safety critical ADAS-features (e.g. AEB); (ii) Highway AV-features (Physical Tests + Real World Test Drive + Audit); (iii) Cyber-security & Software updates; and (iv) Connected Vehicles. On one hand, the agreement on minimal common base requirements for the industry will take a longer time and therefore may postpone introduction of regulations. On the other hand, the harmonization with base requirements would help the industry while a more active position from China may help to pull forward some safety critical ADAS technologies which are not yet considered as relevant for regulation in EU and Japan (e.g. Blind Spot or Night Vision).

¹ Non-U.S. GAAP measure reconciliation for Organic Sales

Net Sales - Veoneer’s net sales for the quarter declined by 14% to $489 million as compared to 2018. Organic sales¹ declined by approximately 10% while the combined currency translation effects of 4% accounted for the remainder of the decline. During the quarter, our net sales developed slightly better than our internal expectations at the beginning of the quarter.

According to IHS, the LVP decline of 7% for the quarter as compared to 2018 was mainly attributable to China and Western Europe and to a lesser extent North America. The LVP decline of 3%, as compared to the first quarter in 2019, was more than our sequential sales decline of 1%.

Restraint Control Systems - Net sales for the quarter of $209 million decreased by 15% as compared to 2018. The organic sales¹ decline of 11% was mainly due to lower volumes in China and North America where we see a temporary phase out of our products on certain vehicle models.

Active Safety - Net sales for the quarter of $184 million decreased by 14% as compared to 2018. This decline was partially driven by the organic sales¹decline of 9%. This decline is partly attributable to the LVP decline of approximately 9% in our major markets for Active Safety, where we have a relatively higher CPV on premium brands (Western Europe, North America, Japan and China).

Strong demand for mono/stereo vision and night vision systems and ADAS ECUs on several models drove an increase in organic sales. This was more than offset by the negative radar product mix and lower LVP with certain customer models in Western Europe and North America.

Brake Systems - Net sales of $96 million for the quarter decreased by approximately 13% as compared to 2018. This sales decline is mainly due to an organic sales¹ decline of close to 11%, driven primarily by temporary lower volumes on certain Honda vehicle models in China and Japan.

Gross Profit - The gross profit for the quarter of $77 million was $35 million lower as compared to 2018. The negative volume and product mix effects that caused the lower organic sales was the main contributor to the gross profit decline. Net currency effects on the gross profit were approximately $11 million unfavorable for the quarter as compared to 2018, primarily due to the stronger US dollar.

Operating Loss - This quarter represents the fourth quarter with a standalone cost structure for the company. The operating loss for the quarter of $137 million increased by $89 million as compared to 2018.

The RD&E, net increase of $40 million as compared to 2018 was mainly due to the ramp-up of engineering hiring during 2018, as well as slightly lower engineering reimbursement during the quarter. The SG&A increase of $13 million was mostly related to the additional costs associated with being a standalone listed company.

Other income and amortization of intangibles combined were $1 million lower for the quarter as compared to 2018. Net currency effects on the operating loss were approximately $7 million unfavorable for the quarter as compared to 2018.

Net Loss - The net loss for the quarter of $142 million increased by $76 million as compared to 2018.

Veoneer’s net loss from its equity method investment (Zenuity) of $18 million during the quarter increased by $2 million as compared to 2018. This is mainly attributable to the hiring of software engineers over the last 12 months.

The increase in equity method investment loss was offset by interest income, net of $2 million, which was an increase of $2 million as compared to 2018.

Income tax benefit for the quarter was $10 million as compared to an expense of $3 million in 2018. The tax benefit includes approximately $8 million of favorable net discrete tax items.

The non-controlling interest loss in the VNBS joint venture was $9 million as compared to $3 million in 2018. The increase was mainly due to the organic sales decline impact on earnings.

Loss per Share - The loss per share increased to $1.39 for the quarter as compared to a loss of $0.72 per share in 2018. This decline was mainly due to the increase in operating loss. The share count increase from the common stock issuance in May 2019 reduced the loss per share by $0.18.

Gross Profit - The gross profit of $162 million for the first half of 2019 was $61 million lower as compared to 2018. The negative volume and product mix effects that caused the lower organic sales was the main contributor to the gross profit decline. Net currency effects on the gross profit was approximately $22 million unfavorable for the same period as compared to 2018, primarily due to the stronger US dollar.

Operating Loss - The operating loss of $265 million for the first half of 2019 increased by $201 million as compared to 2018.

The RD&E, net increase of $90 million for the first half of 2019 as compared to 2018 was mainly due to the ramp-up of engineering hiring during 2018 as well as slightly lower engineering reimbursement. The SG&A increase of $34 million for the first half of 2019 as compared to 2018 was mostly related to the additional costs associated with being a standalone listed company and some one-time professional services.

Other income was $16 million lower for the first half of 2019 as compared to 2018 primarily due to the reversal of the $14 million MACOM earn-out provision. Net currency effects on the operating loss were $11 million unfavorable for the first half of 2019 as compared to 2018.

Net Loss - The net loss for the first half of 2019 increased by $187 million to $290 million as compared to 2018.

Veoneer’s net loss from its equity method investment (Zenuity) of $35 million for the first half of 2019 increased by $5 million as compared to 2018. This is mainly attributable to the hiring of software engineers over the last 12 months.

The increase in equity method investment loss was offset by interest income, net of $5 million, which was an increase of $5 million as compared to 2018. Income tax benefit for the first half of 2019 was $4 million as compared to an expense of $10 million in 2018. This tax result includes approximately $5 million of discrete tax benefit.

The non-controlling interest loss in the VNBS joint venture was $20 million for the first half of 2019 as compared to $8 million in 2018. The increase is mainly due to the organic sales decline impact on earnings.

Loss per Share - The loss per share increase to $2.94 for the first half of 2019 as compared to a loss of $1.09 per share in 2018 was mainly due to the increase in operating loss. The share count increase from the common stock issuance in May 2019 reduced the loss per share by $0.19.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are reconciled throughout this report.

In this report we refer to organic sales or changes in organic sales growth, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that we, investors and analysts use to analyze the Company's sales trends and performance. We believe that this measure assists investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company's business because the Company generates approximately 66% of sales, in currencies other than in U.S. dollars (its reporting currency) and currency rates have been and can be rather volatile. Additionally, the Company has historically made several acquisitions and divestitures, although none that impacted the reporting periods in question. Organic sales and organic sales growth present 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 on the Company’s performance. The tables in this report present reconciliation of changes in the total U.S. GAAP net sales changes in organic sales growth.

The Company also uses in this report EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which represents the Company’s net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and including loss from equity method investment. The Company also uses Segment EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which represents the Company’s EBITDA which has been further adjusted on a segment basis to exclude certain corporate and other items. We believe that EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are useful measures for management, analysts and investors to evaluate operating performance on a consolidated and reportable segment basis, because it assists in comparing our performance on a consistent basis. The tables below provide reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Segment EBITDA.

The Company also uses in this report net working capital, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which is defined as current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) minus current liabilities excluding short-term debt. Management uses this measure to improve its ability to assess liquidity at a point in time. The table below provides a reconciliation of current assets and liabilities to net working capital.

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.

The forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used in this report are provided on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. Veoneer has not provided a U.S. GAAP reconciliation of these measures because items that impact these measures, such as foreign currency exchange rates and future investing activities, cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts and Veoneer is unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,204 million.

The Company's primary source of liquidity is the existing cash balance of $1,204 million which will primarily be used for ongoing working capital requirements, capital expenditures, investments in joint ventures, particularly Zenuity and certain anticipated business combinations. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will be sufficient to support its current operations for at least the next twelve months.

Fotonic - During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered an unconditional purchase obligation for $10 million to be paid in 2019. The amount will be reimbursed by Zenuity. The Company has no other material obligations other than short-term obligations related to operations, inventory, services, tooling, and property, plant and equipment purchased in the ordinary course of business.

Autotech - On June 30, 2017, Veoneer committed to make a $15 million investment in Autotech Fund I, L.P. pursuant to a limited partnership agreement, and, as a limited partner, will periodically make capital contributions toward this total commitment amount. As of June 30, 2019, Veoneer contributed a total of $10 million to the fund. The initial term of the fund is set to expire on December 31, 2025. This fund focuses broadly on the automotive industry and complements the Company’s innovation strategy, particularly in the areas of active safety and autonomous driving. Under the limited partnership agreement, the general partner has the sole and exclusive right to manage, control, and conduct the affairs of the fund.

Zenuity - Veoneer is currently in discussions with Volvo Cars, its Zenuity JV partner, regarding the development priorities of Zenuity in light of the market shift toward autonomous vehicle solutions. The outcome of these discussions may influence the level of funding and participation of Veoneer in the Zenuity JV, as well as future sharing of intellectual property and IP licenses. Although no final commitment has been made pertaining to future funding, Veoneer made a funding contribution of $11 million during the second quarter of 2019 and made a funding contribution of approximately $21 million on July 18, 2019.

Capital Raise - On May 28, 2019, Veoneer closed its concurrent registered public offerings of common stock and convertible senior notes. The offerings, which were oversubscribed by approximately three times, resulted in gross proceeds of $627 million, consisting of $420 million from the common stock offering and $207 million from the convertible notes offering. 24 million shares of common stock were issued in the common stock offering.

VNBS - On June 17, 2019, Veoneer announced the signing of binding agreements with its VNBS joint venture partner Nissin Kogyo to resolve the previously disclosed funding dispute between the two partners. Key agreement terms include: Veoneer's acquisition of Nissin Kogyo's 49% interest in the US operations of the VNBS JV, and Nissin Kogyo's agreement to provide guarantees for VNBS commercial loans, or contribute capital to VNBS, to fund debt repayment from VNBS to Veoneer of approximately $20 million. The transaction closed on June 28, 2019.

¹Non-U.S. GAAP measure see reconciliation for Net working capital

Net cash used in operating activities - Net cash used in operating activities of $160 million during the first half of 2019 was $4 million lower as compared to 2018. The higher net loss was mostly offset by the positive change in net working capital¹and other, net.

Net Working Capital¹- The net working capital of $1 million improved by $41 million during the first half of 2019. The reduction in trade accounts receivable was the main driver of the improvement.

Days receivables outstanding, outstanding receivables relative to average daily sales was 54 days for June 30, 2019, as compared to 75 days at June 30, 2018. Days inventory outstanding, outstanding inventory relative to average daily sales, increased to 29 days as of June 30, 2019, as compared to 25 days at June 30, 2018.

Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures of $109 million, or 11% of sales, for the first half of 2019 increased by $38 million as compared to 2018. We now expect capital expenditures to be approximately 12% of sales for 2019 to support our strong order book and future growth.

Net cash used in investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities of $119 million during the first half of 2019 was $57 million higher as compared to 2018 mainly due to $38 million increase in capital expenditures and $11 million investment in Zenuity.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents of $1,204 million increased by $340 million during 2019 due to the capital raise of $627 million being partially offset by the negative cash flow before financing.

Shareholders Equity - Shareholders equity, including non-controlling interest, for the quarter of $2,064 million increased by $137 million during 2019 due to the equity raise completed during the second quarter.

Number of Associates



		June 30, 2019	March 31, 2019	December 31, 2018	September 30, 2018	June 30, 2018
TOTAL		9,235	9,192	8,600	8,310	7,937
Whereof:	Direct Manufacturing	2,153	2,110	2,083	2,186	2,229
	RD&E	5,154	5,192	4,676	4,327	3,959
	Temporary	1,659	1,563	1,329	1,254	1,246

The number of associates increased to 9,235 during the quarter from 9,192 in the previous quarter, mainly due to the hiring of direct manufacturing and temporary associates to support new program launches. This increase was partially offset by a slight reduction in RD&E associates. The increase in associates as compared to the same period in 2018 of 1,298 from 7,937 is primarily due to the hiring of approximately 1,200 to support our investment in engineering resources for future growth opportunities. Temporary associates have increased more than 400 reflecting the uncertain macro situation and new program launches.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various claims, litigation and proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries, covering a range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities with respect to commercial, product liability and other matters.

For a description of our material legal proceedings, see Note 13 Contingent Liabilities – Legal Proceedings to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in (i) the Prospectus forming part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 related to our common stock offering (File No. 333-231607), filed with the SEC on May 24, 2019, and (ii) the Prospectus forming part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 related to our convertible notes offering (File No. 333-231609), filed with the SEC on May 24, 2019, are incorporated herein by reference. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to the risk factors and other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated herein by reference, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Risks associated with joint venture partnerships and other collaborations may adversely affect our business and financial results.

Certain of our operations are currently conducted through joint ventures and joint development agreements, and we may enter into additional joint ventures and collaborations in the future. Our joint ventures and collaborations are generally focused on opening or expanding opportunities for our technologies and supporting the design and introduction of new products and services (or enhancing existing products or services). Such activities entail a high degree of risk and often require significant capital investments. We may underestimate the costs and/or overestimate the benefits, including technology, product, revenue, cost and other synergies and growth opportunities, that we expect to realize, and we may not achieve those benefits, or may do so later than expected. The market and customer demand for products and technologies provided by our joint ventures may also shift. For example, we have begun to see a shift in our customer’s focus to products and systems supporting “Level 2 plus driver assistance” technologies over systems supporting fully autonomous driving as it appears that fully autonomous vehicles will come to market in significant numbers later than previously expected. This means that some of the anticipated benefits of our Zenuity joint venture, including sales from technologies developed by the joint venture may not materialize or may come later than previously expected. We are currently in discussions with our Zenuity joint venture partner regarding the development priorities of Zenuity in light of the market shift toward autonomous vehicle solutions and we are presently evaluating our strategic and business plans for, as well as the ongoing funding needs of, Zenuity. The outcome of these discussions may influence the level of funding and participation of Veoneer in Zenuity, as well as future sharing of intellectual property and IP licenses and may result in a different strategy, focus, structure and/or purpose of Zenuity or implementation of other strategic options being reviewed.

Furthermore, our joint venture partners may be unable or unwilling to meet their economic or other contractual obligations, and we may in some cases and/or for some time choose to fulfill those obligations alone to ensure the ongoing success of a joint venture, or we may choose to dissolve and liquidate it. For example, since we acquired a 51% interest in VNBS, we unilaterally provided the funds necessary to meet VNBS’s operational needs as Nissin Kogyo refused to provide funding in proportion to its ownership. In June 2019, we entered into an agreement with Nissin Kogyo pursuant to which Veoneer will acquire Nissin Kogyo’s interests in the US operations of VNBS, or VNBA, and Veoneer will release Nissin Kogyo from any obligations to fund VNBA in the future and from any claims Veoneer may have had against Nissin Kogyo relating to VNBA.

In addition, our joint venture and collaboration partners may at any time have economic, business or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with our goals or with the goals of the joint venture. Our products and technologies may from time to time overlap with certain aspects of the technologies developed with one of our joint venture or collaboration partners which may cause the parties to consider the impact on the contractual relationship. Depending on our level of control over the governance and/or operations of a joint venture or collaboration, we may be unable to implement actions with respect to the joint venture’s activities that we believe are favorable if the joint venture partner does not agree. Disagreements with our business partners may impede our ability to maximize the benefits of our partnerships. We may have difficulty resolving disputes with or claims against our joint venture partners, which could lead to us bearing liability for claims that we are not responsible for and may have a material adverse

impact on the joint venture. The above risks, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, which could limit our business plan or adversely affect the rights of our stockholders.

Although we expect that our recently completed concurrent offerings of common stock and convertible notes will address our capital raising needs for the foreseeable future, we cannot be assured that this is the case. Our operating environment is increasingly challenging, and our business and strategic plans may consume resources faster than we presently anticipate. In the future, should this be the case, we may need to raise additional funds through additional financings, including the issuance of new equity securities, debt or a combination of both.

Without adequate access to capital, we may be forced to adjust our strategic and business plans to prioritize more essential funding needs. This could result in delaying certain research or development initiatives, which could impact our ability to develop innovative products and technologies. If capital is not available, or is not available on acceptable terms if and when needed, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of market opportunities, develop or enhance our products, or otherwise respond to market changes or competitive pressures could be limited.

Although we believe we have sufficient funds to operate our business for the foreseeable future, short term deteriorating business conditions and lower than expected light vehicle production, along with the demand for increased RD&E investment to support our continued strong order intake, the successful execution of challenging customer projects, and the continued development of our product portfolio could potentially result in a future need of the Company to raise additional capital. We may finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings and may also use debt financings or strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. We may be unable to secure debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding, and we may be forced to consider alternative transactions (including assets sales on terms our existing security holders perceive as unattractive) in order to do so. Such additional financings may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available through additional financings on acceptable terms, we may be forced to consider alternative transactions (including sales of non-core / non-active safety assets on terms our existing security holders may perceive as unattractive) in order to fund our operations, repay debt or make new investments, or we may be unable to do so.

Even if we are successful in raising any required funds through additional financings, this may adversely impact our existing security holders. For example, if we raise funds by issuing additional securities, the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, which could place limitations on our operations. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our indebtedness may harm our financial condition and results of operations.

As of June 30, 2019, we have outstanding debt of $176 million. We may incur additional debt for a variety of reasons. Although our significant debt agreements do not have any financial covenants, our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations, including, without limitation (i) a portion of our cash flows from operations will be dedicated to the payment of any interest or could be used for amortization required with respect to outstanding indebtedness; (ii) increases in our outstanding indebtedness and leverage will increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure; (iii) depending on the levels of our outstanding debt, our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, general corporate and other purposes may be limited; and (iv) potential future tightening of the availability of capital both from financial institutions and the debt markets may have an adverse effect on our ability to access additional capital.
