Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO

We experienced another challenging quarter dominated by severe weakness in global light vehicle markets and high raw material costs with reduced profitability as a consequence. The uncertainty remains high in a falling market and we currently do not see any

 

Our sales continued to develop significantly better than LVP, with organic growth* outperforming LVP in all regions except Japan, where we expect outperformance to begin later in the year. In North America and China, our organic growth was 14pp higher than LVP growth, while it was 9pp above global LVP growth.

Order intake continued on a good level, securing a strong order book and a prolonged outperformance vs. LVP.

signs of a turnaround in light vehicle demand. Therefore we now indicate a lower full year 2019 sales and profitability.

As market weakness has continued in the second quarter, we have stepped up the cost improvement actions, including

 

In addition to our near term focused cost reduction actions, we have accelerated our efforts on building the foundation for improving the entire value chain. This includes increased flexible automation, digitalization and R,D&E efficiency.

targeting a reduction of our indirect workforce by approximately 5% and implementing a sharpened purchasing process. We already see effects from our current cost reduction actions, with total headcount declining by around 1,200 in the second quarter and launch related costs continuing to decline vs. the first quarter.

I am generally pleased with how we managed the sharp decline in global LVP by the cost reduction actions we implemented and are planning. Furthermore, I see both room and need for additional improvements in certain areas.

 

We are well positioned to navigate through significant challenges from LVP volatility and geopolitical uncertainty by forcefully implementing necessary near-term cost reductions and investing for longer term margin improvement, while as always having quality as our first priority.

Outlook 2019

Our sales growth and adjusted operating margin outlook ranges for 2019 reflects the continuing high level of uncertainty in the automotive markets and is based today on global light vehicle production declining by 4% to 6% in full year 2019 compared to full year 2018.

The forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above are provided on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. Autoliv has not provided a U.S. GAAP reconciliation of these measures because items that impact these measures, such as costs related to capacity alignments and antitrust matters, cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and Autoliv is unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Second quarter 2019 development

Sales by product- Airbags

 

Sales by product - Seatbelts

Airbag sales organic growth* was mainly driven by strong performance for all types of airbags in North America, steering wheels in North America and frontal airbags, side airbags and inflatable curtains in Rest of Asia. The fastest growing product category was pedestrian safety, from a low base, followed by steering wheels, passenger airbags and knee airbags.

 

Seatbelt sales organic decline* was mainly driven by weaker sales in Europe, but also to a smaller degree in China, partly mitigated by better performance in North America, Japan and Rest of Asia. The trend of higher sales of more advanced and higher value-added seatbelt systems continued, especially in China and Japan, partly offset by weaker sales in North America.

Sales by region

 

 

Growing globally by 1.5% organically*, we grew faster than light vehicle production (according to IHS) by more than 9pp. The largest contributor to overall growth was North America, supported by South America, South Korea and Thailand, partly offset by declines in Europe, China and Japan.

 

We grew sales organically by around 14pp more than LVP in North America and China, while our 6.5% organic sales decline in Europe was 0.2pp better than LVP. In South America we grew organically around 22pp more than LVP, in Japan we underperformed LVP by about 7pp while we outgrew LVP by around 11pp in Rest of Asia.

Second quarter 2019 development

Gross profit declined by $40 million and the gross margin declined by 1.3pp compared to the same quarter 2018. The gross margin was adversely impacted by the sharp decline in global light vehicle production resulting in a lower utilization of our production assets and raw material headwinds. This was offset to some degree by organic growth* from launches of new products, which have a lower margin contribution in the early phase of the ramp-up.

S,G&A was close to unchanged in USD terms, but increased slightly as percent of sales due to the sales decline.

R,D&E, net was close to unchanged in USD terms, but increased slightly as percent of sales due to the sales decline.

Other (expense) income, net of negative $9 million in the second quarter of 2019 was $19 million lower than in the prior year, mainly due to accruals in second quarter 2019 relating to future reductions of our indirect workforce and lower government income in China.

Operating income decreased by $60 million, as a consequence of the decline in gross profit and other (expense) income, net.

Adjusted operating income* decreased by $47 million, mainly due to the lower gross profit.

Financial and non-operating items, net was close to unchanged at $19 million compared to the prior year.

Income before taxes decreased by $59 million, mainly as a consequence of the lower operating income.

8


Effective tax rate of 27.4% was 19.3 pp higher than last year primarily because the second quarter 2018 was positively affected by the reversal of certain valuation allowances.

Earnings per share, diluted decreased by 95 cents primarily due to 44 cents from unusual tax items, 39 cents from lower operating income and 11 cents from costs related to capacity alignment and antitrust related matters.

Second quarter 2019 development

Operating working capital* was 7.5% of sales compared to 9.1% of sales a year earlier, where the improvement mainly was a consequence of reduced account receivables. The Company targets that operating working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.

Operating cash flow was negative $21 million compared to $201 million a year earlier, where the difference primarily was due to the payment of the EC antitrust fine of $203 million. Excluding this payment, operating cash flow was about $180 million.

Capital expenditure, net, of $128 million was relatively unchanged, reflecting continued high investment requirements in support of the high level of new product launches.

Free cash flow, net* amounted to negative $148 million compared to positive $76 million a year earlier, where the decrease of $224 million is mainly due to the payment of the EC antitrust fine of $203 million.

Cash conversion* defined as free cash flow in relation to net income, amounted to negative 136% in the second quarter 2019 compared to 39% in the second quarter 2018. Excluding the impact of the payment of the EC antitrust fine, cash conversion improved to 50%.

Net debt* amounted to $1,811 million as of June 30, 2019, which was close to unchanged compared to a year earlier.

Leverage ratio*. Autoliv’s policy is to maintain a leverage ratio commensurate with a strong investment grade credit rating. The Company measures its leverage ratio as net debt* adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to EBITDA. The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio of around 1x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a leverage ratio of 1.8x, compared to 1.6x at March 31, 2019. The increase is primarily related to the payment of the EC antitrust fine.

Total equity increased in the quarter by $64 million compared to March 31, 2019 mainly due to $109 million from net income, partly offset by $54 million from dividends.

Compared to March 31, 2019, total headcount (permanent employees and temporary personnel) decreased by 1,208. The decrease was driven by a reduction of temporary direct workers in manufacturing. Compared to a year ago, headcount decreased by 523. The headcount reduction reflects the balance of cost reduction efforts to offset the decline in light vehicle markets and to support the growth in organic sales* driven by new vehicle program launches.

“Safe Harbor Statement”

This report contains statements that are not historical facts but rather forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include those that address activities, events or developments that Autoliv, Inc. or its management believes or anticipates may occur in the future. All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, various assumptions and/or data available from third parties. Our expectations and assumptions are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will materialize or prove to be correct as forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual future results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “estimates”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “plans”, “intends”, “believes”, “may”, “likely”, “might”, “would”, “should”, “could”, or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the outcome could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including without limitation, changes in light vehicle production; fluctuation in vehicle production schedules for which the Company is a supplier, changes in general industry and market conditions or regional growth or decline; changes in and the successful execution of our capacity alignment, restructuring and cost reduction initiatives and the market reaction thereto; loss of business from increased competition; higher raw material, fuel and energy costs; changes in consumer and customer preferences for end products; customer losses; changes in regulatory conditions; customer bankruptcies, consolidations, or restructuring; divestiture of customer brands; unfavorable fluctuations in currencies or interest rates among the various jurisdictions in which we operate; component shortages; market acceptance of our new products; costs or difficulties related to the integration of any new or acquired businesses and technologies; continued uncertainty in pricing negotiations with customers; successful integration of acquisitions and operations of joint ventures; successful implementation of strategic partnerships and collaborations; our ability to be awarded new business; product liability, warranty and recall claims and investigations and other litigation and customer reactions thereto; (including the resolution of the Toyota recall); higher expenses for our pension and other postretirement benefits, including higher funding needs for our pension plans; work stoppages or other labor issues; possible adverse results of pending or future litigation or infringement claims; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; negative impacts of antitrust investigations or other governmental investigations and associated litigation relating to the conduct of our business; tax assessments by governmental authorities and changes in our effective tax rate; dependence on key personnel; legislative or regulatory changes impacting or limiting our business; political conditions; dependence on and relationships with customers and suppliers; and other risks and uncertainties identified under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Reports and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and any amendments thereto. For any forward-looking statements contained in this or any other document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we assume no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events, except as required by law.

RECONCILIATION OF U.S. GAAP TO NON-U.S. GAAP MEASURES

In this report we sometimes refer to non-U.S. GAAP measures that we and securities analysts use in measuring Autoliv's performance. We believe that these measures assist investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company's business for the reasons given below. Investors should not consider these non-U.S. GAAP measures as substitutes, but rather as additions, to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should be noted that these measures, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Components in Sales Increase/Decrease

Since the Company generates approximately 75% of sales in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. U.S. dollars) and currency rates have been rather volatile, we analyze the Company's sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates. The tables on page 5 present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.

Operating Working Capital

Due to the need to optimize cash generation to create value for shareholders, management focuses on operationally derived working capital as defined in the table below. The reconciling items used to derive this measure are, by contrast, managed as part of our overall management of cash and debt, but they are not part of the responsibilities of day-to-day operations' management.

Net Debt

As part of efficiently managing the Company’s overall cost of funds, Autoliv from time to time enter into “debt-related derivatives” (DRD) as a part of our debt management. Creditors and credit rating agencies use net debt adjusted for DRD in their analyses of the Company’s debt and therefore we provide this non-U.S. GAAP measure. DRD are fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the underlying debt. Also included in the DRD is the unamortized fair value adjustment related to a discontinued fair value hedge which will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt. By adjusting for DRD, the total financial liability of net debt is disclosed without grossing debt up with currency or interest fair values.

Leverage ratio

The non-U.S. GAAP measure net debt is also used in the non-U.S. GAAP measure “Leverage ratio”. Management uses this measure to analyze the amount of debt the Company can incur under its debt policy. Management believes that this policy also provides guidance to credit and equity investors regarding the extent to which the Company would be prepared to leverage its operations. For details on leverage ratio refer to the table.

Free Cash Flow and Cash Conversion

Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure free cash flow to analyze the amount of cash flow being generated by the Company’s operations after capital expenditure, net. This measure indicates the Company’s cash flow generation level that enables strategic value creation options such as dividends or acquisitions. For details on free cash flow see the reconciliation table below. Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure cash conversion to analyze the proportion of net income that is converted into free cash flow. The measure is a tool to evaluate how efficient the Company utilizes its resources. For details on cash conversion, see the reconciliation table below.

Items Affecting Comparability

We believe that comparability between periods is improved through the exclusion of certain items. To assist investors in understanding the operating performance of Autoliv's business, it is useful to consider certain U.S. GAAP measures exclusive of these items. Accordingly, the tables below reconcile from U.S. GAAP to the equivalent non-U.S. GAAP measure.
