Item 7.01 Regulation FD disclosure.
On May 14, 2013, Autoliv, Inc. (the “Company”) will conduct a conference call and make a webcast presentation at its Capital Markets Day conference being held by the Company for financial analysts and institutional investors. Interested parties are invited to listen to the event via a live internet broadcast on the Company’s website atwww.autoliv.com beginning at 9:00 a.m. CET. A copy of the press release issued in connection with Capital Markets Day is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The slide presentation to be used during the Capital Markets Day webcast is also furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by this reference. All information contained in Exhibit 99.2 is presented as of the date referenced therein, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to, and disclaims any duty to, update any of the information provided.
The press release and presentation contain certain references to financial measures identified as “organic sales,” “operating working capital,” “interest coverage ratio,” “leverage ratio,” “tax rates excluding discrete items,” and “free cash flow” all of which are adjustments from comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These financial measures, as used herein, differ from financial measures reported under GAAP and management believes that these financial presentations provide useful supplemental information which is important to a proper understanding by investors of the Company’s core business results. These presentations should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. For an explanation of the reasons for which management uses these figures, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with SEC on February 22, 2013. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the slide presentation or in the Company’s Annual Reports.
