Exhibit 99.1
Financial Report January – March 2017
Record sales, exceeding margin and growth guidance
(Stockholm, Sweden, April 28, 2017) – – – For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIV.Sdb) – the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems – reported record consolidated sales of $2,608 million. Quarterly organic sales* grew by 4.4%. The reported operating margin was 8.3% while the adjusted operating margin* was 8.4% (for non-U.S. GAAP measures see enclosed reconciliation tables).
The expectation at the beginning of the quarter was for quarterly organic sales to increase by “more than 3%” and an adjusted operating margin of “around 8%”.
For the second quarter of 2017, the Company expects organic sales to increase by around 2% and an adjusted operating margin of around 8.5%. The expectation for the full year remains unchanged with an organic sales growth of around 4% and an adjusted operating margin of around 8.5%. (See the “Outlook” section on the next page for further discussion of organic sales and adjusted operating margin, which are forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP measures).

Comments from Jan Carlson, Chairman, President & CEO |
| |
| “The first quarter developed slightly better than expected, with organic sales growth* and adjusted operating margin* both exceeding our expectations from the beginning of the quarter. In Passive Safety, I am pleased that our share of order intake continued at a high level, further strengthening our future market share and growth expectations. The passive safety industry situation is unchanged from last year and we continue to focus on flawless execution on our high order intake. We continue our engineering efforts but are gradually shifting to a production focus as we prepare to execute on the historically high order intake. Despite the short term strain on the organization in preparing for these deliveries, Passive Safety reached double digit operating margin in the quarter. | |
In Electronics, we won active safety orders with three OEMs in the quarter, taking the order total for the past twelve months to eight orders with five different OEMs. I am also pleased to say that Autoliv is the main supplier of active safety products to the new Mercedes S-class and that the European premium OEM order win we announced in February is with Volvo Cars. This order means that Autoliv will supply active safety products, including radar and vision algorithms. We continue to invest in competence and capacity for the future. We have now recruited 982 of the 1,000 engineers we said we intended to recruit between July 2016 and June 2017. About half are in Passive Safety and half in Electronics. In April, we announced the start of operations for Zenuity, our joint venture with Volvo Cars and platform for developing software for autonomous driving and driver assistance. We already see considerable interest from several OEMs. The Zenuity initiative is part of the journey towards autonomous driving, which requires the fusion of a multitude of technologies and competences, which in turn requires a multitude of co-operations, alliances and other partnerships. Light vehicle production grew by almost 6% in the quarter, with growth in all regions. However, we currently see some uncertainties relating to light vehicle production growth, including high inventory levels and slower sales momentum, especially in North America and China. We continue to monitor the situation closely and are prepared to take necessary actions. With quality as our first priority, we continue to execute on our growth and margin opportunities while staying focused on saving more lives and creating value for our stakeholders.” | ||

Q1 Report – 2017
| 1st Quarter |
Mainly based on our customer call-offs, we expect organic sales for the second quarter of 2017 to grow by around 2% compared to the same quarter of 2016. Currency translations are expected to have a negative effect of around 3%, resulting in a consolidated sales decline of around 1%. The adjusted operating margin, excluding costs for capacity alignments and antitrust related matters, is expected to be around 8.5%.
The expectation for the full year 2017 remains unchanged at an organic sales growth of around 4%. Currency translations and M&A activities are expected to have a combined negative effect of less than 1%, resulting in a consolidated sales increase of around 3%. The expectation for the full year adjusted operating margin remains around 8.5%, excluding costs for capacity alignments and antitrust related matters.
The projected tax rate, excluding any discrete items, for the full year 2017, is expected to be around 30% and is subject to change due to any discrete or nonrecurring events that may occur.
We expect the operational cash flow for the full year 2017 to remain strong and to be more than $0.8 billion, excluding antitrust related matters and any other discrete items. Supporting our growth strategy, capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of 5-6% of sales for the full year, while R,D&E investments, net are expected to be at the high end of the 6.5-7.0% range of sales for the full year.
The forward looking non-U.S. GAAP financial measures above are provided on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. Autoliv has not provided a U.S. GAAP reconciliation of these measures because items that impact these measures, such as costs related to capacity alignments and antitrust matters, cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and Autoliv is unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.
First Quarter Financial Highlights
Consolidated net sales increased by 7.3% compared to the same quarter of 2016 with an organic growth* of 4.4%, negative currency translation of around 2% and impact from acquisitions of 5%. Key drivers for the organic growth were Europe, Japan and India. The adjusted operating margin* decreased by 70bps to 8.4%, compared to the same quarter of 2016, as the effects of higher sales were more than offset by increased costs for growth, including R,D&E, net, which increased by 90bps from 6.5% to 7.4% of
sales. EPS, diluted, increased by 7% to $1.62, as compared to the same quarter 2016, mainly due to lower costs for capacity alignments and antitrust related matters. Operating cash flow of $149 million was lower than the same quarter prior year due to increased working capital driven by unfavorable timing effects and lower factoring volumes. Net debt* was $312 million, compared to $362 million a year ago and $313 million at year-end 2016. The leverage ratio* declined from 0.5x the same quarter prior year to 0.4x as a result of the lower net debt.

Consolidated Passive Safety segment sales increased by 2.6% to $2,040 million. Excluding negative currency translation effects, the organic sales growth* was 4.7%.
Airbag sales had solid growth from frontal airbags in Japan (Mitsubishi and Toyota) and India (Hyundai/Kia and Suzuki). Growth in steering wheels contributed about 1.0pp to the total organic sales growth*, and was mainly driven by increases
in Europe (Mercedes and Renault) and Japan (Mitsubishi and Toyota).
Seatbelt sales growth came mainly from Europe (especially with Volkswagen and Volvo) and North America (Volkswagen and Hyundai/Kia).
Inflator replacement sales affected the segment’s organic sales growth* negatively by less than 0.5pp.

Compared to the same period last year, the operating income was positively impacted by higher sales and lower costs for capacity alignments while higher investments in
R,D&E, net, as well as other costs supporting near term growth and increased raw material costs had a negative effect. Despite this, the operating margin reached 10.0%.
In focus
Our share of order intake continued at a high level in the first quarter of 2017. We continue to adapt our organization to the higher level of order intake that began in 2015. The focus is gradually shifting from managing an increase in application engineering to managing an increase in production starting towards the end of this year. The costs for growth relative to sales should be close to its peak.
We are also focused on being able to manage the increase in orders while still being prepared for possible changes in light vehicle production. We are
closely monitoring the market development, particularly in North America and China.
During the quarter, we rolled out a new strengthened engineering organization, which we expect will facilitate an increased focus on productivity improvements.
Raw material price increases continue to be a challenge, which is likely to continue throughout the year, and we will continue our efforts to mitigate this trend.

Consolidated Electronics segment sales increased by 27.8% to $583 million compared to the same quarter 2016. Excluding the formation of ANBS and negative currency translation effects, the organic sales growth* was 2.9%.
Restraint Control and Sensing sales (mainly airbag control modules and remote sensing units) grew largely due to Hyundai/Kia in China and South Korea, partially offset by decreases for Ford in North America and Mazda in Japan.
The organic sales increase* for Active Safety (mainly automotive radars, night vision systems,
cameras with driver assist systems and positioning systems) was positively impacted by double-digit organic sales growth of radar and camera systems (especially due to models from Honda, Mercedes and FCA) and negatively impacted by sales declines for positioning systems in North America as well as the ramp-down of our internally developed brake control system.
Brake Systems sales amounted to 21% of consolidated sales for the Electronics segment.

The operating margin declined despite higher sales, primarily due to higher investments in R,D&E, net,
supporting long term growth. Headcount increased with 809, of which 85% was within R,D&E.
In focus
In the first quarter, we won active safety orders with three different OEMs. In the past 12 months, we have won eight active safety orders with five different OEMs.
In April, we announced the start of operations of Zenuity, our joint venture with Volvo Cars and that Autoliv is the main supplier of active safety products to the new Mercedes S-class. In addition, the European premium OEM order win we announced in February is with Volvo Cars. This order means that Autoliv will supply active safety products, including radar and vision algorithms.
We see good strategic value in the technology from the MACOM acquisition. However, the faster than
expected ramp-down of the positioning systems sales have resulted in an adjustment of an acquired intangible asset and the contingent consideration liability with limited net impact in the profit and loss account.
The work to integrate ANBS into Autoliv continues. Brake Systems’ sales are closely dependent on one customer and a limited number of vehicle models. Sales for these models have been lower than expected and therefore sales for Brake Systems is lower than we previously expected. The large order announced in February with a new customer was therefore an important breakthrough for the global opportunities we see for Brake Systems.

The organic sales growth* of 4.4% in the quarter was mainly driven by the organic growth in Europe, Japan and India. The inflator replacement sales impacted organic growth negatively by less than 0.5pp. Light vehicle production grew by 5.9%, according to IHS, and although we underperformed in the first quarter of 2017, we still expect to outperform for the full year of 2017.
The organic sales increase* from Autoliv’s companies in China was mainly driven by the global OEMs, primarily Renault/Nissan as well as replacement inflators sales. Organic sales to the domestic OEMs declined slightly, primarily caused by lower sales to SAIC-GM which was partly offset by strong sales to models from Geely and Great Wall.
Organic sales* growth from Autoliv’s companies in Japan was driven by the Japanese OEMs, in particular Mitsubishi, Toyota and Nissan. Offsetting effects are seen with decreasing sales of replacement inflators.
Organic sales* growth from Autoliv’s companies in the Rest of Asia was driven by strong sales development in India, mainly to Hyundai, Suzuki and Tata. Sales in South Korea decreased slightly with Hyundai and GM, while sales in Thailand decreased due to lower sales to Mitsubishi.
Sales from Autoliv’s companies in Americas grew organically* by 1.5%. North America grew close to 1% organically, driven primarily by FCA, Hyundai/Kia and VW, partly offset by lower sales to Ford, GM and Nissan. South America grew organically by 36%, primarily with Chevrolet and VW.
The organic sales growth* in the quarter from Autoliv’s companies in Europe was mainly driven by Mercedes, especially the continued ramp up of the E-Class with high Active Safety content together with increased LVP for GLC with Radar Systems. Sales to Renault and VW were also significant organic growth contributors while offsetting effects were mainly seen with GM and Peugeot.

The gross profit for the first quarter 2017 was $42 million higher than in the same quarter 2016. The gross margin increased by 0.2pp to 20.8% compared to the same quarter in 2016, mainly as a result of higher sales and favorable currency effects, partly offset by costs related to investments for growth and negative impact from raw material prices.
Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) expenses increased by $7 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year, but remained almost unchanged in relation to sales.
Research, Development & Engineering (R,D&E) expenses, net, increased by 21% compared to the same quarter of the previous year, amounting to 7.4% of sales compared to 6.5% of sales in the first quarter of 2016.
Operating income increased by $12 million to $218 million, or 8.3% of sales, compared to 8.4% of sales in the same quarter of 2016. Adjusted operating margin*, excluding costs for capacity alignment and antitrust related matters, was 8.4% of sales for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 9.1% of sales for the same period in 2016. The improved gross margin was more than offset by higher R,D&E, net to support future growth as well as acquisition effects.
Income before taxes increased by $4 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Net income attributable to controlling interest was $144 million, an increase of $11 million from the first quarter of 2016.
The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2017 was 26.9% compared to 29.9% in the same quarter of 2016. Discrete tax items, net had a favorable impact of 0.3pp whereas in the same quarter of 2016 discrete tax items, net had an unfavorable impact of 1.7pp. The tax rate in the first quarter of 2017 was positively impacted by a favorable mix of earnings and tax rates in various jurisdictions compared to the first quarter of 2016.
Earnings per share (EPS) assuming dilution increased by 7% to $1.62 compared to $1.51 for the same period one year ago. The main positive items affecting EPS were 12 cents from lower capacity alignment and antitrust related matters and 4 cents from higher operating income, offset by 6 cents from currency effects. The adjusted EPS* assuming dilution was $1.65 compared to $1.66 for the same period one year ago.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming dilution was 88.5 million compared to 88.3 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash flow from operations amounted to $149 million compared to $201 million in the same quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily related to the increase in working capital.
Cash flow before financing* was $28 million compared to negative $118 million during the same quarter of 2016. Capital expenditures, net, of $121 million were $7 million more than depreciation and amortization expense during the quarter and $30 million more than capital expenditures, net during the first quarter of 2016.
During the quarter, working capital increased to 16% of sales from 15% of sales on December 31, 2016 and operating working capital* as a percentage of sales was 6.5%, up from 6.0% on March 31, 2016. The Company targets that operating working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.
Accounts receivable in relation to sales increased to 75 days outstanding from 74 days outstanding on December 31, 2016 as well as on March 31, 2016. Days inventory outstanding was 30 days, down from 33 days on December 31, 2016 and from 32 days on March 31, 2016.
The Company’s net debt position* decreased by $1 million during the quarter to $312 million at March 31, 2017. Gross interest-bearing debt increased during the quarter by $6 million to $1,549 million.
Autoliv’s policy is to maintain a leverage ratio* commensurate with a strong investment grade credit rating. The Company measures its leverage ratio as net debt* adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio of around 1x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a leverage ratio of 0.4x.
During the quarter, total equity increased by $181 million to $4,107 million, mainly due to $142 million from net income and positive currency translations of $88 million. The increase was partly offset by $53 million in dividends. Total parent shareholders’ equity was $3,854 million corresponding to $43.64 per share.

RECONCILIATION OF U.S. GAAP TO NON-U.S. GAAP MEASURES
In this report we sometimes refer to non-U.S. GAAP measures that we and securities analysts use in measuring Autoliv's performance. We believe that these measures assist investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company's business for the reasons given below. Investors should not consider these non-U.S. GAAP measures as substitutes, but rather as additions, to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should be noted that these measures, as defined, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Components in Sales Increase/Decrease
Since the Company generates approximately 74% of sales in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. U.S. dollars) and currency rates have proven to be rather volatile, and due to the fact that the Company has historically made several acquisitions and divestitures, we analyze the Company's sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates. The tables below present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.

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

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

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

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