Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO
	“Our growth momentum continued in the third quarter. Driven mainly by a large number of product launches in North America, our sales grew organically* by more than 6% despite the decrease in light vehicle production of about 2% according to IHS. We were able to grow faster than light vehicle production in all regions except Rest of Asia, with North America as the main driver with 22% organic* sales growth. The launches are on schedule, with good delivery precision albeit with continued elevated launch related costs, temporarily impacting our profitability progression negatively. I am pleased that our order intake continued on a high level in the quarter, supporting our growth opportunities for the longer term. Our operating cash flow was solid in the quarter, supporting our full year indication of an operating cash flow for Continuing Operations to be on a similar level as last year.
In the third quarter our industry experienced significant changes in light vehicle production, especially in Europe impacted by WLTP, and in China due to lower consumer demand. As a result, our supply chain, production and logistic systems had to manage significant and late changes to OEM production plans with corresponding uneven utilization of our supply chain, production and logistics assets while at the same time focusing on the many launches and high growth in North America. We see a similar environment for the rest of the year, with continued uncertainty for light vehicle production, especially in China and Europe, with continued uneven asset utilization. We are implementing actions to manage these challenges and we look forward to a gradual improvement in operating leverage over time. With a never-ending focus on quality and operational excellence, we continue to execute on our growing business volumes and our new opportunities, with extra attention to any changes in light vehicle demand.”

Q3 Report – 2018 3^rd Quarter

Outlook

Mainly based on our customer call-offs and light vehicle production outlook according to IHS, the indication for organic sales growth for Autoliv Continuing Operations for the full year is around 6%. Currency translations are expected to have a combined positive effect of around 2%, resulting in a consolidated sales increase of around 8%. The indication for adjusted operating margin for Autoliv Continuing Operations for the full year 2018 is around 10.5%. This replaces our previous full year 2018 guidance of organic growth of around 8% and an adjusted operating margin of more than 11%.

The projected tax rate, excluding discrete items, for Continuing Operations for the full year 2018, is expected to be around 28%, and is subject to change due to any discrete or nonrecurring events that may occur.

The projected operating cash flow for Continuing Operations for the full year 2018, excluding any discrete items, is expected to be on a similar level as in full year 2017.

The projected capital expenditures, net, for Continuing Operations, for the full year 2018 is expected to be in the range of 5-6% of sales.

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, antitrust matters and separation of our business segments, 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.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Consolidated net sales increased by 4.1% compared to the same quarter of 2017 with an organic growth* of 6.4% and negative currency translation effects of 2.3%. By growing organically* by about 22%, North America contributed to almost all of the $125 million in organic growth in the quarter although China and India also contributed to the organic growth while Europe and South Korea declined organically. Organic sales growth outperformed LVP growth (according to IHS) in all regions excluding Rest of Asia. Adjusted operating margin* for Continuing Operations, excluding costs for capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and the separation of our business segments, decreased by

100bps to 9.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2017, as headwinds from launch related costs, raw material costs, increased R,D&E, net costs and currency movements, were not fully offset by positive effects from the increased sales. Adjusted EPS*, diluted, decreased by 18% to $1.35, as compared to the same quarter of 2017. Operating cash flow for Continuing Operations amounted to $238 million. Net debt* was $1,724 million, compared to $1,785 million the previous quarter. Despite the decrease in net debt, the leverage ratio* remained at 1.6x.

1) Effects from currency translations.

Sales grew organically* by 6.4% in the third quarter 2018 compared to the third quarter 2017, which is more than 8 percentage points above the change in light vehicle production (according to IHS). The largest contributors to growth were North America, China and India partly offset by effects from South Korea and Europe.

The organic sales increase* of 4.5% from Autoliv’s companies in China was driven by both the domestic and the global OEMs. Sales to domestic OEMs are

primarily driven by a continued tailwind from new models with Geely, including Lynk & Co. The organic growth in sales to the global OEMs was mainly driven by sales to VW, Nissan and Honda.

The organic sales growth* of 2.1% from Autoliv’s companies in Japan was driven by sales to Subaru, Mitsubishi and Honda.

The organic sales growth* of 1.5% from Autoliv’s companies in the Rest of Asia was driven by strong sales development in India, mainly to Suzuki and Honda, largely offset by organic sales decline in South Korea, mainly with Hyundai/Kia.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in Americas increased organically* by 21.8%, driven by strong performance in both North and South America. North America grew by more than 22% organically*, driven primarily by launches at FCA, Nissan, Tesla and Honda. This was partly offset

by lower sales to Ford and Daimler. Growth was driven by all main product groups. South America grew organically* by close to 16%, driven by a strong performance with VW and Toyota.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in Europe declined organically* by 3.6%. The organic sales decline was driven largely by VW, Renault and Nissan, partly offset by increased sales to Daimler.

The gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $9 million lower than in the same quarter of 2017. The gross margin decreased by 1.2pp to 19.0%, from 20.2% in the same quarter of 2017, mainly due to adverse impact from launch related costs, raw material pricing and currency changes that more than offset the positive effects from the strong organic sales growth*.

Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) expenses decreased by $7 million compared to the same quarter the prior year, while Research, Development & Engineering (R,D&E) expenses net, increased to 5.0% of sales compared to 4.8% a year earlier, driven by the high number of product launches.

Operating income increased by $25 million to $193 million, corresponding to a reported operating margin of 9.5% of sales, compared to 8.6% of sales in the same quarter of 2017. The increase was due to lower costs for capacity alignments and antitrust related matters compared to the same period 2017, reported as Other income (expense), net. Adjusted operating margin*, excluding costs for capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and separation of our business segments, was 9.5% of sales compared to 10.5% of sales for the same period in 2017. The decrease was mainly due to the lower gross margin and higher R,D&E, net costs in relation to sales. Income before taxes increased by $21 million compared to the same quarter the previous year.

Income attributable to controlling interest from Continuing Operations increased by $12 million.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2018 was 31.1% compared to 29.5% in the same quarter of 2017. Discrete tax items, net in the third quarter of 2018 had an unfavorable impact of 0.2pp. In the third quarter of 2017, discrete tax items, net had an unfavorable impact of 2.8pp.

Earnings per share (EPS) from Continuing Operations assuming dilution increased by 11% to $1.34 compared to $1.21 for the same period one year ago. The main positive item affecting EPS were 42 cents from lower costs relating to capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and the separation of our business segments, with the main offsetting items being 14 cents from tax items, 9 cents from lower adjusted operating income* and 3 cents from higher interest expense. The adjusted EPS* from Continuing Operations assuming dilution was $1.35 compared to $1.64 for the same period one year ago.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming dilution was 87.4 million compared to 87.2 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash flow items prior to the third quarter 2018 are presented on a consolidated basis including both Continuing and Discontinued Operations.

Mainly due to higher net income and changes in operating assets and liabilities, operating cash flow increased to $238 million compared to $218 million for Consolidated Autoliv, including both Continuing and Discontinued Operations, in the same quarter of 2017.

Cash flow before financing* was $121 million compared to $74 million in the same quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures. Capital expenditures, net, of $117 million were $32 million more than depreciation and amortization expense during the quarter and $25 million lower than capital expenditures, net during the third quarter of 2017. Of the total $142 million in capital expenditures, net, in the third quarter of 2017, $122 million was attributable to Continuing Operations.

Working capital was 7.7% of sales and operating working capital* was 8.8% of sales. 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 was 80 days outstanding, compared to 72 days outstanding on December 31, 2017 and 77 days outstanding on September 30, 2017. Days inventory outstanding was 38 days, compared to 32 days on December 31, 2017 and 35 days on September 30, 2017.

The Company’s net debt position* decreased by $60 million during the quarter to $1,724 million. Gross interest-bearing debt decreased during the quarter by $33 million to $2,251 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had a leverage ratio* of 1.6x.

During the quarter, total equity increased by $46 million to $2,053 million, mainly due to$118 million from net income, partly offset by $54 million in dividends and $30 million related to currency translation effects. Total parent shareholders’ equity was $2,040 million corresponding to $23.42per share.

Financial Highlights First Nine Months 2018

Consolidated net sales increased by 8.5% compared to the same period of 2017 with an organic growth* of 5.0% and positive currency translation effects of 3.5%. All regions except Europe grew organically. Key organic growth areas were North America, China and India. Adjusted operating margin*, for Continuing Operations, excluding costs for capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and separation of our business segments, decreased by 50bps to 10.3%, compared to the same period in 2017, as adverse effects of product launch costs, raw materials and currency changes was not fully offset by the positive

effects of higher sales. EPS Continuing Operations, diluted, increased by 21% to $5.37, as compared to the same period 2017. Adjusted EPS* Continuing Operations, diluted, increased by 12% to $5.40, as compared to the same period 2017. Operating cash flow for Autoliv (including both Continuing and Discontinued Operations) of $301 million was $245 million lower than the same period last year mainly due to costs for separation of our business segments, including higher net loss from Discontinued Operations and increased working capital driven by higher sales and unfavorable geographic and timing effects.

Organic sales growth* from Autoliv’s companies in the Rest of Asia of 3.0%was driven by strong sales development in India which grew organically* by around 33%, mainly from sales to Suzuki, Honda, Tata and Hyundai/Kia. Sales in South Korea decreased, driven mainly by lower sales to Hyundai/Kia.

The organic growth* from Autoliv’s companies in Americas was 11.5%. North America grew organically* by 10.7% mainly due to new model launches with FCA, Honda, Tesla and Nissan, partly offset by lower sales to GM and Ford. Overall growth was driven by all main product groups. Sales in South America grew organically* by about 28%, mainly due to increased sales of steering wheels and frontal airbags to FCA.

The 1.5% organic sales decline* in the period from Autoliv’s companies in Europe was mainly driven by PSA, FCA, JLR, Nissan and Renault.

The gross profit for the first nine months of 2018 increased by $47 million, primarily as a result of higher sales. The gross margin decreased by 0.9pp compared to the same period in 2017, mainly as a result of adverse impacts from launch related costs, raw material pricing and currency changes which were only partly offset the positive effect from the strong organic sales growth*.

Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) expenses decreased slightly while Research, Development & Engineering (R,D&E) expenses, net, as percent of sales was 5.1% compared to 4.9% in the same period the prior year.

Operating income increased by $56 million to $665 million. The reported operating margin was 10.3% for the first nine months of the year, an increase of 0.1pp compared to the same period in the prior year. In 2017, the operating margin was negatively affected by costs related to ongoing capacity alignments and antitrust related matters, reported as Other income (expense), net.

The adjusted operating margin*, excluding costs for capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and the separation of our business segments, was 10.3% of sales compared to 10.8% of sales for the same period in 2017. The lower adjusted operating margin* was mainly a result of the lower gross margin and higher R,D&E net.

Income before taxes increased by $59 million compared to the same period the previous year. Income attributable to controlling interest from Continuing Operations increased by $80 million compared to the same period in 2017, partly due to the decline in the effective tax rate to 23.0% from 29.2% in the prior year. Discrete tax items, net in the first nine months of 2018 had a favorable impact of 5.3pp, principally as a result of the reversal of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets recorded in the second quarter. In the first nine months of 2017, the net impact of discrete tax items caused a 3.4pp increase to the effective tax rate.

Earnings per share (EPS) from Continuing Operations assuming dilution increased by 21% to $5.37 compared to $4.43 for the same period one year ago. The main items affecting EPS positively were 41 cents from lower tax, 37 cents from lower costs relating to capacity alignments, antitrust related matters and separation of our business segments and 19 cents from higher adjusted operating income*. The adjusted EPS* from Continuing Operations assuming dilution was $5.40 compared to $4.83 for the same period one year ago.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming dilution was 87.3 million compared to 87.9 million in the first nine months 2017.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet First Nine Months 2018

Cash flow items prior to the third quarter 2018 are presented on a consolidated basis including both Continuing and Discontinued Operations.

Cash flow from operations amounted to $301 million compared to $547 million in the first nine months of 2017. The decrease was primarily related to costs for separation of our business segments including the higher net loss from Discontinued Operations and the increase in operating working capital due to increased sales and unfavorable geographic and timing effects.

Cash flow before financing* was negative $193 million compared to $32 million during the same period in 2017, mainly due to the lower operating cash flow. Capital expenditures, net, of $421 million were $113 million more than depreciation and amortization expense during the first nine months of 2018 and $20 million more than capital expenditures, net, during the first nine months of 2017.

The Company’s net debt position* increased by $1,356 million to $1,724 million compared to December 31, 2017, mainly due to the capitalization of Veoneer prior to the spin-off. Gross interest-bearing debt increased by $920 million to $2,251 million compared to December 31, 2017, mainly due to the capitalization of Veoneer prior to the spin-off.

For the first nine months, total equity decreased by $2,116 million to $2,053 million, mainly due to $2,121 million related to the spin-off, $162 million in dividends and $135 million from currency translation effects. The decrease was partly offset by $274 million from net income.

“Safe Harbor Statement”

This report contains statements that are not historical facts but rather forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include those that address activities, events or developments that Autoliv, Inc. or its management believes or anticipates may occur in the future. All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, various assumptions and/or data available from third parties. Our expectations and assumptions are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will materialize or prove to be correct as forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual future results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “estimates”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “plans”, “intends”, “believes”, “may”, “likely”, “might”, “would”, “should”, “could”, or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the outcome could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including without limitation, changes in light vehicle production; fluctuation in vehicle production schedules for which the Company is a supplier, changes in general industry and market conditions or regional growth or decline; changes in and the successful execution of our capacity alignment, restructuring and cost reduction initiatives and the market reaction thereto; loss of business from increased competition; higher raw material, fuel and energy costs; changes in consumer and customer preferences for end

products; customer losses; changes in regulatory conditions; customer bankruptcies, consolidations, or restructuring; divestiture of customer brands; unfavorable fluctuations in currencies or interest rates among the various jurisdictions in which we operate; component shortages; market acceptance of our new products; costs or difficulties related to the integration of any new or acquired businesses and technologies; continued uncertainty in pricing negotiations with customers; successful integration of acquisitions and operations of joint ventures; successful implementation of strategic partnerships and collaborations; our ability to be awarded new business; product liability, warranty and recall claims and investigations and other litigation and customer reactions thereto; (including the resolution of the Toyota recall); higher expenses for our pension and other postretirement benefits, including higher funding needs for our pension plans; work stoppages or other labor issues; possible adverse results of pending or future litigation or infringement claims; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; negative impacts of antitrust investigations or other governmental investigations and associated litigation relating to the conduct of our business; tax assessments by governmental authorities and changes in our effective tax rate; dependence on key personnel; legislative or regulatory changes impacting or limiting our business; political conditions; dependence on and relationships with customers and suppliers; and other risks and uncertainties identified under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Reports and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and any amendments thereto. For any forward-looking statements contained in this or any other document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we assume no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events, except as required by law.

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

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

Components in Sales Increase/Decrease

Since the Company generates approximately 75% of sales in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. U.S. dollars) and currency rates have been rather volatile, we analyze the Company's sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates. The tables on pages 3, 4, 7 and 8 present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.

Operating Working Capital

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

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.

Items Affecting Comparability

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