FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. (“Autoliv,” the “Company” or “we”) 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,“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: general economic conditions; the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company’s financial condition, business operations, operating costs, liquidity and competition; 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 and efficiency 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 or 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 in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019.2020.

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.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are presented in millions of dollars, except for per share amounts)

September 30, 20192020

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the prior year audited consolidated financial statements and all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.2020.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 20182019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

On June 29, 2018 (the “Distribution Date”), Autoliv completed the spin-off of its former Electronics segment (the “spin-off”) through the distribution of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Veoneer, Inc. (“Veoneer”). To effect the spin-off, Autoliv distributed to each Autoliv stockholder 1 share of Veoneer common stock, par value $1.00 per share, for every 1 share of Autoliv common stock, par value $1.00 per share, held by such person on the common stock record date, and each Autoliv Swedish Depository Receipt (SDR) holder received 1 Veoneer SDR for each Autoliv SDR held by such person on the applicable SDR record date. On July 2, 2018, Veoneer’s common stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNE” and its SDRs began trading on Nasdaq Stockholm under the symbol “VNE SDB.” The Company did not retain any equity interest in Veoneer.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the financial position and results of operations of the Electronics business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. The restated historical financial statements reflecting the spin-off are unaudited, but have been derived from Autoliv’s historical audited annual reports. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to the Electronics business have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. With the exception of Note 3, the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the continuing operations of Autoliv. See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations below for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

On April 1, 2018, in preparation for the spin-off, pursuant to the terms of a master transfer agreement entered into between Autoliv and Veoneer, assets related to the Electronics business were transferred to, and liabilities related to the Electronics business were retained or assumed by, Veoneer. However, responsibility for certain product, warranty and recall liabilities for Electronics products manufactured prior to April 1, 2018 was retained by Autoliv as provided in the distribution agreement between Autoliv and Veoneer, which governs certain relationships between the parties following the spin-off.

Certain amounts in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation as a result of the spin-off.

Autoliv has concluded that it has 1 reportable segment, based on the way the Company currently evaluates its financial performance and manages its operations. The Company will re-evaluate the one reportable segment as the operating model evolves, including management structure.  The Company’s single reportable segmentwhich includes the Company’sAutoliv’s airbag and seatbelt products and components. The operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of the individual operating segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the operating segment.

Statements in this report that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could affect the actual results of the Company. A description of the important factors that could cause Autoliv’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this report may be found in this report and Autoliv’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements, footnotes and definitions thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019.2020.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 also include certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 modify disclosures required in current GAAP. Those modifications include a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of fair value and cash flow hedges and eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments. The amendments also require new tabular disclosures related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period that an entity adopts the amendments in ASU 2017-12. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 in the annual period beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company had no cash flow hedges at the date of adoption.

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. Early adoption is permitted. 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, nor has it 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, will allow 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 $155.4 million as of January 1, 2019, which is shown in the table below. No material finance leases were identified as of January 1, 2019. In addition, there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements where the Company is deemed to be the lessor in an “embedded lease” arrangement.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans.The amendments in ASU 2018-14 remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for public business entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. An entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2018-14 on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company believes that the pending adoption of ASU 2018-14 will have a minor impact on the disclosures to the 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, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within these annual periods. 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 annual year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. The Company believes that the pending adoption of ASU 2018-13 will not have a material impact on the disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

11


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held and requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments useddisclosures. The Company’s financial assets in estimating credit losses.the scope of ASU 2016-13 mainly consists of short-term trade receivables. Historically, the Company’s actual credit losses have not been material. In addition to continuing to individually assess overdue customer balances for expected credit losses, the Company has implemented a new methodology that reflects the expected credit losses on receivables considering both historical experience as well as forward looking assumptions. The method calculates the expected credit loss for a group of customers by using the customer groups’ average short-term default rates based on officially published credit ratings and the Company’s historical experience. These default rates are considered the Company’s best estimate of the customer’s ability to pay. The Company will regularly reassess the customer group’s and the applied customer group’s default rates by using its best judgement when considering changes in customer’s credit ratings, customer’s historical payments and loss experience, current market and economic conditions and the Company’s expectations of future market and economic conditions. ASU 2016-13 was adopted prospectively by the Company on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract, which align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2018-15. The amendments in ASU 2018-15 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlyinterim periods within those annual years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively as of January 1, 2020 and the impact on the consolidated financial statements has not been material through September 30, 2020. The future impact of ASU 2018-15 will depend on the nature of the Company’s future cloud computing arrangements.

9


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is permittedeffective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.2020, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments related to changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021. The Company has a project team that is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the consolidated financial statements. The Company believesconcluded that the pending adoption of ASU 2016-132019-12 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As discussed in Note 1. Basis of Presentation above, on June 29, 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of Veoneer and the requirements for the presentation of Veoneer as a discontinued operation were met on that date. Accordingly, Veoneer’s historical financial results are reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. The Company did not allocate any general corporate overhead or interest expense to discontinued operations.

The financial results of Veoneer are presented as loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table presents the financial results of Veoneer (dollars in millions).

The Company incurred $70.9 million in separation costs related to the spin-off of Veoneer for the nine months period ended September 30, 2018 and was reported in Other income (expense), net. These costs were primarily related to professional fees associated with planning the spin-off, as well as spin-off activities within finance, tax, legal and information system functions and certain investment banking fees incurred upon the completion of the spin-off.

In connection with the spin-off, Autoliv entered into definitive agreements with Veoneer that, among other matters, set forth the terms and conditions of the spin-off and provide a framework for Autoliv’s relationship with Veoneer after the spin-off (the “Spin-Off Agreements”). For more detailed information concerning the Spin-off Agreements, see Note 3 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019. No changes have been made to any of the agreements as of September 30, 2019.

Veoneer Capital Contribution

In connection with the spin-off, Autoliv capitalized Veoneer with approximately $1 billion of cash. Net assets of $2,129 million, including approximately $1 billion of cash, were transferred to Veoneer on or prior to the Distribution Date, including $13 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss (primarily related to pension and cumulative translation adjustment) and the non-controlling interest of $112 million. This resulted in a $2,030 million reduction to retained earnings.In the second half of 2018, an adjustment to the cash contribution amount of $5 million was made reducing the net assets contributed to Veoneer to $2,123 million. In the second quarter of 2019, an adjustment of $0.2 million was made to true-up the $2.5 million contribution made to Veoneer as an adjustment of deferred tax assets related to Veoneer.

4. LEASES

The Company has operating leases for offices, manufacturing and research buildings, machinery, automobiles, data processing and other equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1-47 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 25 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

Finance lease right-of-use assets are presented together with other property, plant and equipment assets and finance lease liabilities are presented together with other short-term and long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the Company has not identified any material finance leases as of September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has no additional material operating leases that have not yet commenced.

The Company has elected the practical expedient of not separating lease components from non-lease components for all its classes of underlying assets. The Company has also elected to recognize the lease payments for short-term leases in its consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognize the variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

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 judgement 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 following tables provide information about the Company’s leases. Since finance leases are not material the finance lease cost components have not been disclosed in the tables below.

Contract balances

The contract assets relate to the Company's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed (generally in conjunction with contracts for which revenue is recognized over time) at the reporting date on production parts and is included in Other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contract assets are reclassified into the receivables balance when the rights to receive payments become unconditional. The net change in the contract assets balance, reflecting the adjustments needed to align revenue recognition for work completed but not billed, for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2019 is not material.

Certain contracts have resulted in consideration in advance of fulfilling the performance obligations and the amounts received have been classified as contract liabilities within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The portion of the contract liabilities recognized as revenue for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2019 is not material.

6.3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and other current liabilitiesfinancial assets and short-term debtliabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments “derivatives”,(“derivatives”) as part of its debt management to mitigate the market risk that occurs from its exposure to changes in interest rates 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 policy. All derivatives are recognized in the 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 rates and foreign exchange rates.

The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of the instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Pricing observability is impacted by several factors, including the type of asset or liability, whether the asset or liability has an established market and the characteristics specific to the transaction. Instruments with readily active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, assets rarely traded or not quoted will generally have less, or no, pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value.

All the Company’s derivatives are all classified as Level 2 offinancial instruments in the fair value hierarchyhierarchy. Level 2 pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and there were no transfers betweenliabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the levels during this or comparable periods (for further information about the hierarchy levels, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K).parameters of which can be directly observed.

The tables below present information about the Company’s derivative financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the continuing operations (dollars in millions). The carrying value is the same as the fair value as these instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Although the Company is party to close-out netting agreements (ISDA agreements) with all derivative counterparties, the fair values in the tables below and in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 have been presented on a gross basis.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is determined either from quoted market prices as provided by participants in the secondary market or for long-term debt without quoted market prices, estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on the Company’s current borrowing rates for similar types of financing. The Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements of debt reside within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the table below “Bonds” relates to multiple USPP bonds and Euro denominated bonds. “Loans” relates to utilized long-term loan facilities. In June 2019, the Company issued a €100 million bond and utilized a SEK 1,200 million long term loan facility.

The fair value and carrying value of debt for the continuing operations is summarized in the table below (dollars in millions).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also has assets and liabilities in its balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis including certain long-lived assets, including equity method investments, goodwill and other intangible assets, typically as it relates to impairment.

11


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.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, the Company did 0t record any material impairment charges on its long-lived assets for its continuing operations.

The settlement loss in the third quarter of 2020 relates to the US qualified pension plan and was triggered by lump-sum payments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 in excess of the total of annual service costs and interest costs. The Service cost and Amortization of prior service cost components in the table above are reported among other employee compensation costsin Operating Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The remaining components - Interest cost, Expected return on plan assets, and Amortization of actuarial loss and Settlement loss - are reported as Other non-operating items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The decrease in expected return on plan assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods of the previous year is due to a lower assumed long-term rate of return on mainly the U.S. plan assets.13


12.9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Legal Proceedings

Various claims, lawsuits 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. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any litigation cannot be assured. After discussions with counsel, and with the exception of losses resulting from the antitrust proceedings described below, 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 consolidated financial position of Autoliv, but the Company cannot provide assurance that Autoliv will not experience material litigation, product liability or other losses in the future.

ANTITRUST MATTERS

Authorities in several jurisdictions have conducted broad, and in some cases, long-running investigations of suspected anti-competitive behavior among parts suppliers in the global automotive vehicle industry. These investigations included, but are not limited to, the products that the Company sells. In addition to concluded and pending matters, authorities of other countries with significant light vehicle manufacturing or sales may initiate similar investigations. It is the Company’s policy to cooperate with governmental investigations.

European Commission (“EC”) Investigations:

OnIn June 7-9, 2011, representatives of the European Commission (“EC”), the European antitrust authority, visited 2 facilities of a Company subsidiary in Germany to gather information for an investigation of anti-competitive behavior among suppliers of occupant safety systems.  

OnIn November 22, 2017, the EC concluded a discrete portion of its investigation, and imposedin 2018 the Company paid a fine on the Company of €8.1 million (approximately $9.7 million) with respect to this portion of the EC’s overall investigationinvestigation. while it continued the more significant portion of its investigation. The Company paid this amount during the first quarter of 2018, and had previously accrued €8.3 million (approximately $9.9 million) in 2017 with respect to this discrete portion of the investigation.

OnIn March 5, 2019, the EC completed the remaining portion of the investigation, and imposedin 2019 the Company paid a fine on the Company of €179 million (approximately $203 million). In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company had previously accrued €184 million (approximately $210 million) with respect to the remaining portion of the investigation. The difference between the actual fine and the accrual is reported in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated statements of net income. The final payment of the actual fine was made in June 2019.

Civil Litigation: The Company is subject to civil litigation alleging anti-competitive conduct in the U.S. and Canada. As previously reported, the Company, several of its subsidiaries, and its competitors were named as defendants in a total of 19 purported antitrust class action lawsuits filed between June 2012 and June 2015. NaN of these lawsuits were filed in the U.S. and were consolidated in the Automobile Parts Antitrust Litigation, a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Plaintiffs in the U.S. cases sought to represent 4 purported classes - direct purchasers, auto dealers, end-payors, and truck and equipment dealers - who purchased occupant safety systems or components directly from a defendant, indirectly through purchases or leases of new vehicles containing such systems, or through purchases of replacement parts.

19


In May 2014, the Company, without admitting any liability, entered into separate settlement agreements with  the direct purchasers, auto dealers, and end-payors, which were granted final approval by the MDL court in 2015 and 2016.   In April 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the truck and equipment dealers’ class, which was granted final approval by the MDL court in 2016. The class settlements do not resolve any claims of settlement class members who opt-out of the settlements or the unasserted claims of any purchasers of occupant safety systems who are not otherwise included in a settlement class, such as states and municipalities. Several individuals and 1 insurer (and its affiliated entities) opted-out of the end-payor class settlement, including the Company’s settlement.

In September 2016, the insurer (and its affiliated entities) that opted out of the end-payor class settlement filed an antitrust lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The Company has accrued an amount that is not material to the Company’s results of operations to resolve this issue.

PRODUCT WARRANTY, RECALLS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Autoliv 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 us 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. Autoliv’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 our prior claims experience. In addition, a number of the agreements entered into by the Company, including the Spin-off Agreements, require Autoliv to indemnify the other parties for certain claims. Autoliv cannot assure that the level of coverage will be sufficient to cover every possible claim that can arise in our businesses or with respect to other obligations, now or in the future, or that such coverage always will be available should we, now or in the future, wish to extend, increase or otherwise adjust our insurance.

Toyota Recall: On June 29, 2016, the Company announced that it is cooperating with Toyota Motor Corp. in its recall of approximately 1.4 million vehicles equipped with a certain model of the Company’s side curtain airbag (the “Toyota Recall”). The Company continues to cooperate with Toyota has informedregarding the Company that there have been 8 reported incidents where a side curtain airbag has partially inflated without a deployment signal from the airbag control unit. The incidents have all occurred in parked, unoccupied vehicles and no personal injuries have been reported. The root cause analysis of the issue is ongoing. However, at this point in time the Company believes that a compromised manufacturing process at a sub-supplier may be a contributing factor and, as no incidents have been confirmed in vehicles produced by other OEMs with the same inflator produced during the same period as those recalled by Toyota, that vehicle-specific characteristics may also contribute to the issue. The sub-supplier’s manufacturing process was changed in January 2012, and the vehicles now recalled by Toyota represent more than half of all inflatorsroot cause of the relevant type manufactured beforeissue and potential liability and indemnification obligations of the sub-supplier process was changed.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined pursuant to ASC 450 that a loss with respect to this issue is reasonably possible.parties. If the Company is obligated to indemnify Toyota for any of the costs associated with the Toyota Recall, the Company expects that its insurance will generally cover such costs and liabilitiesliabilities. The Company’s insurance policies generally include coverage of the costs of a recall, although costs related to replacement parts are generally not covered.

The Company has determined pursuant to ASC 450 that a loss with respect to this issue is probable and estimatestherefore has accrued an immaterial amount related to potential costs for replacement parts. The ultimate costs to the Company of the Toyota Recall could be materially different from the amount the Company has accrued. However, the Company continues to believe that the Company’s loss, net of expected insurance recoveries, wouldwill be less than $20 million.  However, the ultimate costs of the Toyota Recall could be materially different. The main variables affecting the ultimate cost for the Company are:include: the determination of proportionate responsibility (if any) among Toyota, the Company, and any relevant sub-suppliers; the ultimate number of vehicles repaired; the cost of repair per vehicle; and the actual recoveries from sub-suppliers and insurers. The Company’s insurance policies generally include coverage of the costs of a recall, although costs related to replacement parts are generally not covered.

Intellectual Property: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.

14.11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the three month periodperiods ended September 30, 20192020 and September 30, 2018,2019, approximately 50 thousand0.0 million and 0 thousand shares,0.1 million awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of the diluted EPS, since the inclusion of these awards would be antidilutive. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and2020, shares in the diluted loss per share calculation represent basic shares due to the net loss. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2018,2019, approximately 54 thousand and 0 thousand shares, respectively,0.1 million awards were excluded from the computation of the diluted EPS.EPS, since the inclusion of these awards would be antidilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2019.2020. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions.

Autoliv, Inc. (“Autoliv” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices in Stockholm, Sweden. It was created in 1997 from the merger of Autoliv AB (“AAB”) and the automotive safety products business of Morton International, Inc. The Company functions as a holding corporation and owns two principal operating subsidiaries, AABAutoliv AB and Autoliv ASP, Inc.

Through its operating subsidiaries, Autoliv is a supplier of automotive safety systems with a broad range of product offerings, including modules and components for passenger and driver airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, seatbelts and steering wheels. Autoliv is also a supplier of anti-whiplash systems, pedestrian protection systems and child seats.

On June 29, 2018 (the “Distribution Date”), Autoliv completed the spin-off of its former Electronics segment (the “spin-off”) through the distribution of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Veoneer, Inc. (“Veoneer”). To effect the spin-off, Autoliv distributed to each Autoliv stockholder one share of Veoneer common stock, par value $1.00 per share, for every one share of Autoliv common stock, par value $1.00 per share, held by such person on the common stock record date, and each Autoliv Swedish Depository Receipt (SDR) holder received one Veoneer SDR for each Autoliv SDR held by such person on the applicable SDR record date. On July 2, 2018, Veoneer’s common stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNE” and its SDRs began trading on Nasdaq Stockholm under the symbol “VNE SDB.” The Company did not retain any equity interest in Veoneer.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the financial position and results of operations of the Electronics business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all prior periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to the Electronics business have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all prior periods presented. Upon completion of the spin-off, Autoliv concluded that it has one reportable segment, based on the way the Company currently evaluates its financial performance and manages its operations. The Company will re-evaluate the one reportable segment as the operating model evolves, including the management structure. See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations below for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

On April 1, 2018, in preparation for the spin-off, pursuant to the terms of a master transfer agreement entered into between Autoliv and Veoneer, assets related to the Electronics business were transferred to, and liabilities related to the Electronics business were retained or assumed by Veoneer, however, responsibility for certain product, warranty and recall liabilities for Electronics products manufactured prior to April 1, 2018 was retained by Autoliv as provided in the distribution agreement between Autoliv and Veoneer.

Autoliv’s filings with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and all of our other reports and statements, and amendments thereto, are available free of charge on our corporate website at www.autoliv.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC (generally the same day as the filing).

 

The primary exchange market for Autoliv’s securities is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) where Autoliv’s common stock trades under the symbol “ALV”. Autoliv’s Swedish Depositary Receipts (SDRs) are traded on Nasdaq Stockholm’s list for large market cap companies under the symbol “ALIV SDB”. Options in SDRs trade on Nasdaq Stockholm under the name “Autoliv SDB”.  Options in Autoliv shares are traded on Nasdaq OMX PHLX and on NYSE Amex Options under the symbol “ALV”.

 

Autoliv’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

 

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The Company is proud of the way it handled the COVID-19 crisis. The worst demand decline on record in the second quarter was followed by a faster than expected recovery in the third quarter, with its challenges of managing the supply chain in a safe and efficient way. The quarter started weak and volatile but gradually grew stronger and more stable and the Company managed to record higher sales, higher profits and higher cash flow compared to the third quarter 2019. The third quarter outcome reflects the Company’s efforts to come out of the crisis as a stronger company. The adjusted operating margin was the second highest for a third quarter in the past 10 years, the operating cash flow and free cash flow are the highest the Company has recorded in a third quarter and the Company’s net debt is the lowest since the spin-off of Veoneer. The strong performance was a result of good operational execution, effects of the Company’s Structural Efficiency Programs and crisis management in the second quarter leading to cost reductions which, although of a more temporary nature, still supported the Company’s third quarter performance.

The Company’s sales outperformed organically (non-U.S. GAAP measure) the global light vehicle production by almost 5%, with outperformance in all major regions. Backed by recent product launches, the Company expects a further pick up of outperformance in the fourth quarter, supporting a full year outperformance of around 6pp. As expected, order intake activity was slow in the third quarter, but the Company expects a very busy fourth quarter.

Although it is important to realize that the COVID-19 crisis is not behind us, and global uncertainty persists, business stability and visibility have nevertheless improved, which allows the Company to provide a full year guidance.

The Company’s Structural Efficiency Programs are on track and delivering savings. As part of the Company’s footprint optimization ambitions, the Company decided to close one plant in Germany and the Company will continue with further footprint optimization. With the health and safety of Autoliv employees as the Company’s first priority, the Company continues with more activities to further improve efficiency, optimizing the Company’s footprint and implementing the strategic initiatives outlined last year to support next year being a solid stepping stone on the journey to the Company’s 2022-24 targets.

Key business developments in the third quarter of 20192020

Organic sales (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) increased by 0.4% which was 4.7pp higher than the change in global light vehicle production. Organically,all major regions developed better than LVP. Sales in China grew by 10.4% compared to 8.7% growth in LVP. Sales in Americas grew by 1.2% compared to the LVP decline of 4.3%. In Europe, LVP declined by 7.6% while our sales declined by 4.8%. Customer sourcing activity was, as expected, low in the quarter, with more than half of planned sourcing for the year expected in the fourth quarter. First nine months order intake supports a prolonged period of outgrowth.

 

Organic growth outperformed global light vehicle productionProfitability improved as demand recovered and our cost reduction activities progressed according to plan. Adjusted operating margin (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) improved both vs. Q2 2020 and Q3 2019. The gross margin improved by 4.6pp mainly due0.9pp compared to ChinaQ3 2019.

COVID-19 Pandemic Related Business Update

First nine months of 2020

The Company experienced continued challenging market conditionsCOVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the Company’s operations in the quarter. Althoughfirst quarter, particularly in China, where most of its customers’ plants were closed for several weeks in February and operated at low levels in March. In Europe and North America, sales declined substantially in the ratesecond half of declineMarch as the pandemic led to customer plant closures. A large number of customer plants were closed in April and parts of May, followed by a ramp-up in June. According to IHS, global light vehicle production slowed down slightly, uncertainty remains high, market outlook(LVP) declined by IHS continues to be revised down24% in the first nine months of 2020 vs. the same period the prior year. The decline in global LVP and the slow and volatile restart and ramp-up had a significant impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in the first six months of 2020 while it managed to achieve improvements in sales, profitability and cash flow in the third quarter as its cost reduction initiatives and positive sales development more than offset the 4% global LVP decline in the third quarter.

Liquidity and management actions undertaken to manage this challenging period

During the first six months of 2020, Autoliv undertook a number of actions to support employee health and safety, corporate liquidity, cash flow and profitability. Actions included introducing a Smart Start Playbook for safe re-start and ramp-up, investing in employee safety equipment and re-designing production lines and work places as necessary. Other initiatives included drawing on the Revolving Credit Facility (which is now fully repaid), withdrawing full year guidance (now provided again), extensive use of furloughing (very limited use today), reducing headcount, sharply reducing capital expenditures, close monitoring of working capital, reducing or suspending discretionary spending and accelerated cost savings initiatives, cancelling the dividend and suspending future dividends, although the Board of Directors will review such suspension on a quarterly basis. Direct COVID-19 related costs, such as personal protective equipment, temporary supplier support and premium freight, were around $10 million in the second quarter and around $5 million in the third quarter. Support from governments in connection with furloughing, short-term work weeks and similar activities was around $25 million in the second quarter and around $10 million in the third quarter.

Current situation

In all regions, the automotive industry, including Autoliv, are in different stages of ramp-up of operations. Visibility and predictability of customer demand has improved but is still limited, particularly regarding the sustainability of current demand levels, including the effects on LVP of inventory build-ups, government vehicle subsidies and the risks of another wave of COVID-19 infections in one or more of the regions where the Company does not seeoperates or has customers or suppliers.

While we continue to focus on health and safety and cost optimization, we are ramping up production in coordination with our customers and suppliers. Below is a turnaroundsummary of our current view of our three most important regions.

China: LVP was above pre-crisis production levels in the second and third quarter. IHS forecasting 5% year-over-year decline in LVP in the near term.fourth quarter, the decrease mainly a result of high LVP in Q4 2019.

The Company continuedEurope: LVP development has improved gradually from second quarter’s year-over-year decline of 60% to outperform light vehicle production, growing organically (non-U.S. GAAP measure) about 4.6pp more than LVPa 8% decline in the third quarter driven mainly by strong development in China and Americas.

The Company’s business cycle management actions are taking effect and the adjusted operating margin (non-U.S. GAAP measure) decline year over year was substantially less than in recent quarters, and it improved sequentially. LVP has continuedaccording to slide however, and the Company now assumes 6-7% global LVP decline for 2019,IHS, which moderates the Company’s outlook toforecasts around 1% for organic sales growth and to around 9% for adjusted operating margin.

Although the Company is not pleased with this profit level, it is achievedyear-over-year decline in LVP in the contextfourth quarter.

19


North America: LVP development has improved gradually from second quarter’s year-over-year decline of LVP expectations declining by 7-8pp in just 9 months. The cost improvement actions which enabled this performance will continue relentlessly.

The Company reduced its workforce by an additional 80068% to unchanged in the third quarter or by 1,600 comparedaccording to a year ago, despite growing its sales organically (non-U.S. GAAP measure) by 1.2%. The Company’s program to reduce indirect labor costs by 5% is developing as planned and the Company expects it to impact its cost base meaningfully as ofIHS, which forecasts around 1% year-over-year decline in LVP in the fourth quarter 2019.

In addition to LVP and raw material headwinds, the strike at General Motorsquarter. Inventory levels are still low in North America is also affecting the Company’s sales.

Being close to its customers supports the Company’s short- and long-term business opportunities and this quarter the Company announced two new customer collaborations - the North American road safety research lab together with Great Wall Motor and the next generation passenger airbag in cooperation with Honda. The Company’s order intake share remained on a good level in the quarter, supporting a prolonged sales growth outperformance.

As always, it is of utmost importance to focus on quality and execution to secure a strong long-term performance for the Company.America.

Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures

Some of the following discussions refer to non-U.S. GAAP financial measures: see reconciliations for "Organic sales", "Operating working capital", "Net debt", “Leverage ratio”, “Adjusted operating income”, “Adjusted operating margin” and “Adjusted EPS” provided below. Management believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of the Company’s business and assist investors in analyzing trends in the Company's business. Additional descriptions regarding management’s use of these financial measures are included below. Investors should consider these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures in addition to, rather than as substitutes for, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These historical non-U.S. GAAP financial measures have been identified as applicable in each section of this report with a tabular presentation reconciling them to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. It should be noted that these measures, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following table shows some of the key ratios management uses internally to analyze the Company's current and future financial performance and core operations as well as to identify trends in the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations. We have provided this information to investors to assist in meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of ongoing core operations. These ratios are more fully explained below and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The results herein present the performance of Autoliv giving effect to the spin-off of Veoneer, Autoliv’s former Electronics segment, on June 29, 2018. Historical financial results of Veoneer are reflected as discontinued operations, with the exception of cash flows, which are presented on a consolidated basis of both continuing and discontinued operations and net income attributable to a controlling interest (Consolidated Autoliv). The focus of management’s discussion and analysis below is on continuing operations. Certain key ratios, as indicated, only reflect continuing operations. The restated historical financial information reflecting the spin-off are unaudited, but have been derived from Autoliv’s historical audited annual reports.

Sales by Productproduct - Airbags

Airbag sales organic growth (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above) was mainly driven by strong performance for driver and kneeSales of side airbags in North America, steering wheels in Americas and passenger airbags in China. Offsetting declines cameincreased slightly, mainly from most types of side airbags in EuropeSouth Korea and frominflatable curtains and chest airbags in China. Sales of frontal airbags decreased slightly, due to weak sales of passenger airbags in Japan and ASEAN. Sales of inflators, including inflator replacements, decreased by around $20 million.

Third quarter 2020 development

Gross profit declinedincreased by $7$21 million and the gross margin declinedincreased by 0.3pp0.9pp compared to the same quarter 2018.2019. The gross margin increase was adversely impactedprimarily driven by the decline in global light vehicle production, resulting in a lower utilization of our production assets,labor and raw material headwinds. This was offset to some degree by organic growth (non-U.S. GAAP measure) from launches of new products, which have a lower margin contribution in the early phase of the ramp-up.direct materiel productivity.

S,G&A increaseddeclined by $8$6 million, mainly driven by bonus accrual reversals prior year and a mix of minor expense items incurred in the current quarter.

R,D&E, net was closeor 6%, compared to unchanged in USD terms as well as in percent of sales.

Other income (expense), net of negative $26 million was $27 million lower than in the prior year, mainly due to accrualslower costs for personnel, including consultants.

R,D&E, net costs increased by $3 million compared to the prior year, as reduced personnel costs was more than offset by negative effect from lower engineering income and miscellaneous items.

Other income (expense), net was negative $30 million, mainly relating to future reductions of our indirect workforce.restructuring activities in Europe.

Of the $129 million in organic growth, around 67% came from the steering wheels category with airbags contributing almost 28% of the organic growth58% in the first nine months.

Seatbelt sales organicmonths of the year, reflecting the 23.9% decline (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above) of 1.4% was mainly drivenin LVP. Textiles increased by weaker sales in Europe, India and South Korea, partly mitigated by organic growth in China, North America, South America and Japan. The trend of higher51%, reflecting new sales of more advancedtextiles for manufacturing of personal protection equipment. Inflator sales declined organically (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) by around 58%.

Sales by Product - Seatbelts

Japan showed a slight organic seatbelt sales growth (Non-U.S. GAAP measure), while all other regions showed organic sales declines between 5% and higher value-added seatbelt systems continued, especially in China and Rest of Asia, partly offset by Europe.

Sales by Region

For the first nine monthsThe global organic sales (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) decline of 2019 Autoliv grew20.5% was 3.4pp better than LVP (according to IHS). Sales declined organically (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above)in all regions. The largest organic sales decline drivers were Americas and Europe, followed by 1.5% against the prior corresponding period, outperforming the LVP significantly with 7.5pp during the period. The contributors to the organic growth were the Americas,Japan, Rest of Asia mainly ASEAN, and China. Our organic sales (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) development outperformed LVP in all regions - by 5.5pp in China, with offsetting effects from Europeby 4.3pp in Americas and Japan. The organic growthby 3.6pp in the Americas was close to 10%, mainly driven by Honda, Nissan, GM, FCA and Tesla.Europe.

 

Growth in Rest of Asia was mainly driven by Suzuki in India, Honda in Thailand and India and Hyundai/Kia in South Korea, Organic growth (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above) in China of 1.3% is mainly a result of strong sales to the global OEMs in the region, partly offset by domestic OEMs decreasing substantially. The growth with the GOEMs has been mainly through Honda and VW. Sales to domestic OEMs are primarily impacted by a continued headwind from Geely, Baojun and Great Wall.

Sales in Europe declined organically (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above) by 6%. The decline is from several OEMs such as Daimler, BMW, JLR, Renault and Ford.

First nine months 2020 development

 

Gross profit declined by $129$413 million and the gross margin declined by 1.6pp3.1pp compared to the same period 2018.2019. The gross margin decline was adversely impactedprimarily driven by the sharp decline in global light vehicle production resulting in alower sales and lower utilization of our production assets from the decline in LVP. The sharp sales decline followed by a volatile restart and ramp-up with limited visibility and predictability had a significant effect on our gross margin, despite significant reductions in costs for material and labor.

S,G&A decreased by $17 million, or by 6%, mainly due to lower personnel costs.

R,D&E, net declined by $31 million, or by 10%, mainly due to positive year-over-year effects from lower personnel costs due to a labor conflict in Mexico, raw material headwindsreduced headcount and elevated launch related costs. This was offset to some degree by organic growth (non-U.S. GAAP measure) from launches of new products, which have a lower margin contribution in the early phase of the ramp-up.furloughing.

Other operating income (expense), net, was $35 costs increased by $58 million lower than the priorcompared to a year earlier, mainly due to higher accruals relatingfor restructuring activities in the first nine months of 2020 compared to a year earlier. The accruals are mainly related to future reductions of our indirect workforce.

Operating incomedecreased by $169$421 million, mainly as a consequence of the declinedeclines in gross profit and other income (expense), net, partly offset by lower costs for S,G&A and R,D&E, net.

Adjusted operating income (non-U.S.(Non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table below) measure) decreased by around $136$362 million, mainly due to the lower gross profit.profit, partly offset by lower costs for S,G&A and R,D&E, net.

Financial and non-operating items, net costs were $4 million higher than a year earlier, mainly due to unfavorable effects of exchange rate changes and higher pension related expenses.

Income before taxes decreased by $172$426 million, as a consequence of lower operating income.

Tax rate was 104.4%, compared to 30.1% last year, impacted by unfavorable country mix and losses without tax benefit.

Earnings per share, diluted decreased by $3.52 where the main drivers were $2.89 from lower adjusted operating income and $0.60 from higher capacity alignment accruals.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Third quarter 2020 development

Operating working capital (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) was 5.3% of sales compared to 7.2% of sales a year earlier, mainly as a consequence of more positive effects from accounts receivables, inventories and various accruals vs. the prior year. The Company targets that operating working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.

Operating cash flow was $352 million, compared to $195 million a year earlier. The improvement was mainly due to more positive effects from changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses, inventories and income taxes partly offset by more negative effect from receivables and other assets vs. the prior year.

Capital expenditure, net was 38% lower than a year earlier, reflecting our efforts to reduce capital expenditure to support cash flow. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was 3.8% vs. 6.0% a year earlier.

Free cash flow (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) amounted to $276 million, compared to $73 million a year earlier. The increase was due to the higher operating income.cash flow and lower capital expenditure, net.

Cash conversion (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) defined as free cash flow (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) in relation to net income, was 279%, driven by the high level of free cash flow.

Net debt (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) was $1,573 million as of September 30, 2020, which was $208 million lower than a year earlier and $265 million lower compared to June 30, 2020.

Liquidity position At September 30, 2020, the cash balance was $1.5 billion, and including committed, unused loan facilities, our liquidity position was $2.0 billion. On October 2, 2020, the Revolving Credit Facility was fully repaid through a $600 million payment. Remaining debt maturing in 2020 is $117 million, with another $275 million maturing in 2021.

Leverage ratio (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) 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 (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to adjusted EBITDA (Non-U.S. GAAP measure). The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio of around 1x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a leverage ratio of 2.4x, compared to 1.8x at September 30, 2019 as a lower net debt was more than offset by a lower adjusted 12 month trailing EBITDA vs. a year earlier. At June 30, 2020, the leverage ratio was 2.9x.

Total equity increased by $114 million compared to September 30, 2019 mainly due to $155 million in net income and $28 million from positive foreign exchange effects, partly offset by $55 million in dividends.

 

Effective tax rateFirst nine months 2020 development

Operating cash flow was $380 million compared to $328 million a year earlier. The improvement was primarily a result of 30.1%more positive effects from changes in working capital in 2020 and the EC antitrust payment of $203 million in Q2 2019, partly offset by a lower net income in 2020.

Capital expenditure, net of $229 million was 7.1 pp36% lower than a year earlier, reflecting efforts to reduce capital expenditure to support cash flow. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was 4.6% compared to 5.6% in the same period 2019.

Free cash flow (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) amounted to $152 million compared to $30 million negative a year earlier, where the improvement was due to the higher than last year primarily becauseoperating cash flow and lower capital expenditure, net.

Cash conversion (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) defined as free cash flow (Non-U.S. GAAP measure) in relation to net income, was not meaningful in the first nine months of 2018half year as net income was positively affected by the reversal of certain valuation allowances.

Earnings per share, diluted decreased by 187 cents primarily dueclose to 113 cents from lower operating income, 44 cents from tax items and 34 cents from costs related to capacity alignment, anti-trust matters and the separation of our business areas.zero.

 

 

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL25

Cash flow items for the first nine months of 2018 are presented on a consolidated basis including both Continuing and Discontinued Operations for the first six months of 2018 before the spin-off of Veoneer, except when stated otherwise.

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $328 million compared to $301 million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in cash flow from operations can mainly be attributed to that the first six months of 2018 included loss making discontinued operation activities compared to no such operations in 2019. Also, 2019 was significantly impacted by the EC antitrust payment made in the second quarter amounting to$203 million.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $358 million compared $494 million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The first nine months of 2018 included significant activity from discontinued operations. Excluding discontinued operations, investing activities in continuing operations amounted to approximately $352 million in 2018.


Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $(230) million compared $(172) million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the first nine months of 2019 financing activities were primarily related to improving the Company’s debt maturity profile, replacing short-term debt with long-term as noted in the Contractual Obligations section below. 2018 financing activities were primarily driven by the spin-off of Veoneer.

The Company uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure “Operating working capital,” as defined in the table below, in its communications with investors and for management’s review of the development of the working capital cash generation from operations. The reconciling items used to derive this measure are, by contrast, managed as part of the Company’s overall cash and debt management, but they are not part of the responsibilities of day-to-day operations’ management. The historical periods in the table have been restated to only reflect continuing operations.

December 31, 2018, excludingOn April 2, 2020, the EC antitrust accrual.Company canceled its declared dividend for the second quarter of 2020 and no additional dividends have been declared in 2020.

 

Operating working capital (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above) was 7.2% of sales compared to 8.8% of sales a year earlier, where the change mainly was a consequence of a new accounting standard for operating leases and accruals related to future reductions of our indirect workforce. The Company targets that operating working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.

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 hedges, 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.

Net debt (non-U.S. GAAP measure, see reconciliation table above) amounted to $1,781 million as of September 30, 2019, which was close to unchanged compared to a year earlier.

 

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.

Leverage ratio

27


(non-U.S. GAAP measure, see calculation in table above). 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 (non-U.S. GAAP measure) adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted for antitrust related matters, capacity alignment and separation costs. The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio of around 1x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a leverage ratio of 1.8x, compared to 1.8x at June 30, 2019 and 1.5x at September 30, 2018.Headcount

 

Total equity decreased in the quarter by $38 million compared to June 30, 2019 mainly due to $54 million from dividends and $71 million in currency translation effects partly offset by $86 million in net income. Total equity increased by $103 million in the nine months period, mainly due to $307 million from net income, partly offset by $45 million from currency translation effects, and $163 million from dividends.

Compared to June 30, 2019,2020, total headcount (permanent employees and temporary personnel) decreasedincreased by approximately 800.3,522. The decreaseincrease in the quarter was driven by an increase of around 9% of the direct workforce reflecting a reduction of both direct andsharp increase in light vehicle production compared to second quarter 2020. The indirect workforce.workforce decreased by around 2%, reflecting our Structural Efficiency Programs. Compared to a year ago, total headcount decreasedincreased by approximately 1,600, with close to 80%0.6%, driven by an increase of around 3% of the direct workforce and a reduction being inof 4% of the directindirect workforce. The headcount reductions reflect the balancing of cost reduction efforts to offset the decline in light vehicle markets and to support the growth in organic sales (non-U.S. GAAP measure) driven by new vehicle program launches.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to legal proceedings brought by or against us and our subsidiaries. 

See Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements, Note 129 Contingent Liabilities" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of certain ongoing legal proceedings. Such information is incorporated into this Part II, Item 1—"Legal Proceedings" by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

AsExcept as set forth below, as of September 30, 2019,2020, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were previously disclosed in Item 1A in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020.

We face risks related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that have, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our business and financial performance

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to significant reduced economic activity and employment and has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, the global automotive industry and customer sales, production volumes and purchases of light vehicles by end-consumers. The spread of COVID-19 has also caused disruptions in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chains of automobile manufacturers and suppliers. Global light vehicle production has decreased significantly and some vehicle manufacturers have slowed down, completely shutdown manufacturing operations for a period of time and/or restarted production in some countries and regions. As a result, we have modified our production schedules and have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in the production and distribution of our products and a decline in sales to our customers. As production resumes by us and our customers, production volumes have been and may continue to be volatile. We have also taken protective measures to modify our production environment to ensure the health and safety of our workers which has had an impact on our productivity. Additionally, if the global economic effects caused by the pandemic continue or increase, overall customer demand may continue to decrease, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if a significant portion of our workforce or our customers’ workforce is affected by COVID-19 either directly or due to government closures or otherwise, associated work stoppages or facility closures would halt or delay production.  

The full extent of the effect of the pandemic on us, our customers, our supply chain and our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak or subsequent outbreaks. We may continue to experience the effects of the pandemic even after it has waned, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could continue to be affected. In particular, if COVID-19 continues to spread or re-emerges, particularly in the United States, Europe and China, where our operations are most concentrated, resulting in a prolonged period of travel, commercial, social and other similar restrictions, we could experience, among other things:

Adverse impacts on our operations and financial results caused by government and regulatory measures to contain or mitigate the spread of the virus, temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers or suppliers, which could impact our ability to timely meet our customers’ orders or negatively impact our supply chain;

The failure of third parties on which we rely, including our suppliers, customers, contractors, commercial banks and external business partners, to meet their respective obligations to the Company, or significant disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties including bankruptcy or default;

Disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to work effectively, due to illness, quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders or other limitations;

Interruptions to the operations of our business if the health of our executives, management personnel and other employees are affected, particularly if a significant number of individuals are impacted;

Any accident, COVID-19 illness, or injury to our employees could result in litigation, manufacturing delays and harm to our reputation, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;

Changes in prices of tooling and services may be impacted by worldwide demand and by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Such price increases could materially increase our operating costs and adversely affect our profit margin;

Governments and regulators may choose to delay new automobile safety regulations which could impact the average global content of passive safety systems per light vehicle in the near term;

Some of our competitors are (or may be) owned by a governmental entity and/or receive various forms of governmental aid or support, which we may not be eligible for, and which may put us at a competitive disadvantage;

31


Increased cybersecurity and privacy risks and risks related to the reliability of technology to support remote operations;

Sudden and/or severe declines in the market price of our common stock; and

Costs incurred and revenues lost during and from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic likely will not be recoverable.

In addition to the risks specifically described above, the impact of COVID-19 is likely to implicate and exacerbate other risks disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

You should not anticipate or expect the payment of cash dividends on our common stock

Our dividend policy is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon a number of factors, including our earnings, financial condition, cash and capital needs, indebtedness and leverage, and general economic or business conditions. On April 2, 2020 our Board of Directors suspended our quarterly dividend after determining that a suspension was necessary in light of the evolving global COVID-19 pandemic, decline in global LVP, the uncertainty surrounding the recession at that time and the inherent risk of customer defaults. There can be no assurance that our Board of Directors will declare dividends in the future.

Our business is exposed to risks inherent in international operations

We currently conduct operations in various countries and jurisdictions, including locating certain of our manufacturing and distribution facilities internationally, which subjects us to the legal, political, regulatory and social requirements and economic conditions in these jurisdictions. Some of these countries are considered growth markets and emerging markets. International sales and operations, especially in growth markets, subject us to certain risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:

exposure to local economic conditions;

unexpected changes in laws, regulations, trade, or monetary or fiscal policy, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in the rate of inflation in the emerging markets and countries in which we do business;

foreign tax consequences;

inability to collect, or delays in collecting, value-added taxes and/or other receivables associated with remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

exposure to local political turmoil and challenging labor conditions;

changes in general economic and political conditions in countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets;

expropriation and nationalization;

enforcing legal agreements or collecting receivables through foreign legal systems;

wage inflation in growth markets;

currency controls, including lack of liquidity in foreign currency due to governmental restrictions, trade protection policies and currency controls, which may create difficulty in repatriating profits or making other remittances;

compliance with the requirements of an increasing body of applicable anti-bribery laws;

reduced intellectual property protection in various markets;

investment restrictions or requirements; and

the imposition of product tariffs and the burden of complying with a wide variety of international and U.S. export laws.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) continues its base erosion and profit shifting (“BEPS”) project begun in 2015 with new proposals for a global minimum tax, further development of a coordinated set of rules for taxation and the allocation of taxing rights between jurisdictions. These proposals, if adopted by countries in which we operate, could result in changes to tax policies, including transfer pricing policies, that could ultimately impact our tax liabilities. The timing or impact of these proposals and recommendations is unclear at this point. Changes in tax laws or policies by the U.S. or foreign jurisdictions could result in a higher effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings, and any such change could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, cash flows, operating results and financial condition.  

Our international operations also depend upon favorable trade relations between the U.S. and those foreign countries in which our customers and suppliers have operations. The current U.S. presidential administration has created uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and certain of its trading partners, including with respect to the trade policies and agreements, treaties, government regulations and tariffs that could apply to trade between the U.S. and other nations. These developments may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between these nations and the U.S. It could also impact importing certain foreign-produced vehicles into the U.S. Similarly, the political situations in certain countries, specifically Brazil, China, France, Russia,

32


Turkey, and the United Kingdom, make it difficult to predict the near-term stability of trade costs with these nations. Meanwhile, the U.S. presidential election in November 2020 could result in a shift in U.S. trade policy that is impossible to predict at this time. Changes in national policy or continued uncertainty could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, operating results and financial condition.

Increasing our manufacturing footprint in the growth markets and our business relationships with automotive manufacturers in these markets are particularly important elements of our strategy. As a result, our exposure to the risks described above may be greater in the future, and our exposure to risks associated with developing countries, such as the risk of political upheaval and reliability of local infrastructure, may increase.

Significant changes to international trade policy, including the recently enacted USMCA could adversely affect our financial performance

In October 2018, the U.S., Mexico and Canada agreed to a trade deal that would replace NAFTA known as The United States Mexico Canada Agreement (“USMCA”). The USMCA has been ratified by Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. The USMCA was entered into on July 1, 2020. As adopted, the USMCA changes the automotive rules of origin that dictate what percentage of an automobile must be built from parts that originated from countries in the North American region. Reflective of the automotive industry, our vehicle parts manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Mexico and Canada are highly dependent on duty-free trade within the USMCA free trade region. As a result of these policy changes and other proposals of the Trump Administration, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade. New tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries. Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof, including our industry and the global demand for our products and, as a result, could negatively impact our financial performance.

Our business in Asia is subject to aggressive competition and is sensitive to economic and market conditions

We operate in the automotive supply market throughout Asia including the highly competitive markets in China, Korea, and India. In each of these markets we face competition from both international and smaller domestic manufacturers. Due to the significance of the Asian markets for our profit and growth, we are exposed to risks in China, Korea, and India. We anticipate that additional competitors, both international and domestic, may seek to enter the Chinese, Korean, and/or Indian markets resulting in increased competition. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and our inability to gain or hold market share. There have been periods of increased market volatility and moderation in the levels of economic growth in China, which resulted in periods of lower automotive production growth rates in China than those previously experienced. Our business in Asia is sensitive to economic and market conditions that drive automotive sales volumes in China, Korea, and India and may be impacted if there are reductions in vehicle demand in those markets. If we are unable to maintain our position in these Asian markets, the pace of growth slows, or vehicle sales in these markets decrease, our business prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
