Key business developments in the first quarter of 2020
| • | Organic sales decline* was 11pp better than global light vehicle production, with all regions outperforming LVP. Order intake share remained high and supportive of prolonged sales outperformance. |
| • | Gross margin and adjusted operating margin* were on similar levels as last year despite the global LVP decline, supported by no costs related to social unrest in Matamoros, Mexico, in 2020, cost reductions in R,D&E, S,G&A, production overhead and raw materials. Operating cash flow and free cash flow* were above Q1’19 levels. |
| • | Securing a strong liquidity position by drawing down on our Revolving Credit Facility. Liquidity further supported by reducing or suspending non-critical expenses and investments and by cancelling the dividend after the quarter closed. |

We achieved a strong first quarter despite the sharp decline in light vehicle production, and I am pleased with our sales outperformance, margins and especially our strong cash flow and cash conversion. The task force we set up to manage the situation in China was expanded to global scale and acted promptly with timely cost reduction actions to offset much of the headwinds from weak LVP. The current situation is more challenging than in the first quarter, as customer closures are now affecting most of our operations, for an unknown period of time, compared to a more limited scope in the first quarter. We have withdrawn our full year 2020 indication until the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic can be better assessed. We have undertaken a number of actions to manage the evolving situation, including adjusting production and work week hours, reducing or suspending investments and spending that are not critical for daily operations. We have also accelerated cost saving initiatives, furloughed personnel, often in government supported programs, and reduced compensation for executive officers and board members. |
| Furthermore, we have intensified working capital control through strict inventory control, careful monitoring of receivables and close collaboration with our suppliers. In addition, we have strengthened our liquidity position as we cancelled the second quarter dividend, suspended future dividends and drawn fully on our revolving credit facility. We are ensuring we have an adequate cost structure that supports our profitability targets, regardless of what level of LVP that will be the new normal, post COVID-19 pandemic. The strategic initiatives and structural improvement projects we outlined at our 2019 Capital Markets Day remain key priorities, although some projects may be delayed by a few quarters. While managing a sharp LVP decline in most regions, we are also preparing to restart and ramp up. We are coordinating with our customers and suppliers to make the necessary preparations. The health and safety of our employees remain our top priorities and we are upgrading protective measures and equipment as part of our preparations. We have seen significant recovery in demand and production in China since restarting in mid-February and all of our plants in China are now operating at normal levels. While preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, we remain focused on quality and safety. |

COVID-19 pandemic related business update
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the automotive industry and customer projects for 2020. Autoliv is navigating the same challenges as other companies are facing in managing and forecasting the overall impact the pandemic will have on the automotive industry this year. In this environment, on April 2, 2020, the Company withdrew its previously issued 2020 guidance until the effects of the pandemic can be better assessed.
First quarter 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter had a substantial impact on our operations, particularly China, where our customer’s 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 second half of March as the pandemic led to customer plant closures. Global light vehicle production (LVP) declined by 24% in the first quarter 2020 compared to Q1 2019 according to IHS, with LVP declining by almost 50% in China, by around 20% in Europe, and by 11% in North America. Although our organic sales* outperformed the LVP decline by 11pp, the 24% decline in global LVP had a significant impact on our sales and profitability in Q1 2020.
Liquidity and management actions to manage the challenging months ahead
| • | Cancelling the dividend scheduled for June 4, 2020 and suspending future dividends, although the Board of Directors will review such suspension on a quarterly basis. |
| • | Drawing down $1.1 billion of cash on our existing Revolving Credit Facility, creating a cash balance of approximately $1.5 billion on April 2, 2020, which gives a healthy liquidity position as debt maturities are $318m in 2020 and $275m in 2021. |
| • | Executives voluntarily reducing their base salaries by 20% for Q2 2020 and non-employee board members reducing their cash compensation by 20% for Q2 2020. |
| • | Reducing or suspending capital expenditures with the ambition to reduce spending as is needed and possible depending on market volumes and our customers’ launch activities. |
| • | Strict inventory control, close monitoring of receivables and close collaboration with suppliers. |
| • | Adjusting production and work week hours to a lower demand, reducing or suspending discretionary spending that is not critical for daily operations and accelerated cost saving initiatives and furloughed personnel, many in government supported programs. |
Second quarter 2020
The situation is currently more challenging than it was in Q1, as customer closures are now affecting the majority of our operations, for an uncertain period of time, compared to a more limited scope in the first quarter. With a higher safety content per vehicle in North America and Europe, the regional mix will have a negative impact on sales in Q2. It is currently not possible to estimate the market in Q2 with a reasonable degree of certainty. However, IHS outlook dated April 16, indicates a Q2 global LVP decline of 45%. A decline of such magnitude, should it come true, would have a significant impact on our sales and we do not expect to be able to fully offset the lower sales with cost reduction activities while also planning for production restarts. We therefore expect the LVP decline in Q2 to have a more substantial impact on our profitability and cash flow than the decline in Q1.
Next step
While we continue to focus on further cost reduction actions, we are planning and preparing to restart and ramp up production in close coordination with our customers and suppliers. Although the situation remains fluid and visibility is limited, below is a summary of our current view of our three most important regions.
China: OEMs are gradually returning to previous production levels, and the China Passenger Car Association reported that retail sales were 14% above last year’s level in the second week of April. However, the situation remains fluid, and we expect OEMs will be adjusting production according to inventory levels and demand. Additionally, production disruptions in other regions, which supply components to automakers in China, may slow down the recovery in China.
Europe: A number of European automotive plants have recently restarted or are preparing to restart production after more than a month of coronavirus-related shutdowns. The production rate will likely be volatile, with reduced shifts to adapt to uncertain demand development and component availability.
North America: In the US and Canada, most OEMs plan to resume production by early May. There is significant uncertainty around the return dates for their plants in Mexico, due to the stay-at-home measures in Mexico.
We are deeply focused on the safety of our employees, customers and suppliers when re-starting. We have therefore developed a Smart Start Playbook that outlines processes to raise awareness of new health protocols and to support execution in a challenging situation. This includes recommendations based on guidelines from the World Health Organization and lessons-learned from our recent ramp-up in China. We will provide personal protection equipment, such as masks and visors, and redesign some production environments, such as setting up protective screens.

First quarter 2020 development
Gross profit decreased by $48 million and the gross margin increased by 0.5pp compared to the same quarter 2019. The gross margin improved despite lower sales and lower utilization of our assets from the decline in LVP, as it was positively impacted by the absence of costs related to the social unrest in Mexico in 2020, savings from indirect and direct workforce adjustments, lower raw material costs and positive currency effects. Although gross margin improved, the lower sales led to a decline in gross profit.
S,G&A declined by $8 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to positive year over year effects from changes in currency exchange rates, legal fees and personnel costs.
R,D&E, net declined by $5 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to positive year over year effects from lower personnel costs and changes in currency exchange rates, partly offset by lower engineering income.
Other income (expense), net declined by $4 million compared to a year earlier, mainly due to that first quarter 2019 was positively impacted by $6.8 million in release of EC antitrust provision.
Operating income decreased by $39 million compared to the same period in 2019, as a consequence of the lower gross profit and other income (expense), net being partly offset by lower costs for S,G&A and R,D&E, net.
Adjusted operating income* decreased by around $30 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to lower gross profit partly offset by lower S,G&A and R,D&E, net.
Financial and non-operating items, net was $3 million higher costs than a year earlier, mainly due to losses on exchange rate fluctuations in the first quarter 2020.
Income before taxes decreased by $42 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to the lower operating income.
Tax rate of 32.7% was 5.3pp higher than in the same quarter last year primarily due to unfavorable country mix.
Earnings per share, diluted decreased by 41 cents compared to a year earlier, where the main drivers were 53 cents from lower operating income and 5 cents from higher financial and non-operating items, partly offset by 16 cents from lower overall tax.

First quarter 2020 development
Operating working capital* was 6.7% of sales compared to 7.4% of sales a year earlier, mainly due to lower accounts receivable. The Company targets that operating working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.
Operating cash flow was $156 million compared to $154 million a year earlier, as the lower net income was more than offset by positive effect from deferred income taxes and favorable impact from net changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Capital expenditure, net of $88 million was $20 million lower than a year earlier, reflecting the ambition to limit capital investments. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was 4.8% vs. 5.0% a year earlier.
Free cash flow, net* amounted to $68 million compared to $46 million a year earlier. The increase of $22 million was mainly due to the lower capital expenditure, net.
Cash conversion* defined as free cash flow* in relation to net income, amounted to 90% compared to 41% in the same quarter a year earlier as free cash flow increased and net income decreased compared to prior year.
Net debt* amounted to $1,630 million as of March 31, 2020, which was $22 million higher than a year earlier and $20 million lower compared to December 31, 2019.
Liquidity position At March 31, 2020 our cash balance was around $0.9 billion and was around $1.5 billion after drawing fully on our Revolving Credit Facility on April 2nd 2020. Debt maturing in 2020 is around $318 million, with another $275 million maturing in 2021.
Leverage ratio* Autoliv’s policy is to maintain a leverage ratio commensurate with a strong investment grade credit rating. The Company measures its leverage ratio as net debt* adjusted for pension liabilities in relation to adjusted EBITDA*. The long-term target is to maintain a leverage ratio of around 1x within a range of 0.5x to 1.5x. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a leverage ratio of 1.7x, compared to 1.6x at March 31, 2019. The increase is due to a lower adjusted EBITDA in the current period compared to a year earlier. Compared to December 31, 2019, the leverage ratio is unchanged.
Total equity increased by $70 million compared to March 31, 2019 mainly due to $425 million in net income partly offset by $217 million in dividends, $120 million from changes in exchange rates and $27 million from pension liability adjustments. As the Company canceled the previously announced second quarter dividend in April 2020, $54 million has been reclassified back to total equity in April 2020.

Temporary personnel | 8% | 10% | 12% |
Compared to December 31, 2019, total headcount (permanent employees and temporary personnel) increased by 246. The increase in the quarter is driven by an increase in direct workforce while the indirect workforce is unchanged. Our operations in China are currently operating at normal levels while OEM plant closures in other regions, notably Europe and North America, were initiated mid-March and those effects are
not reflected in our headcount as of March 31, 2020. Our initial responses to manage the demand declines in Europe and Americas involve mainly furloughing employees and shorter work weeks which impacts wage and salary costs but not the overall headcount. Compared to a year ago, total headcount decreased by 1,414, with close to 70% of the reduction being in the direct workforce.

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 volatile, we analyze the Company's sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in the overall U.S. dollar net sales on a comparable basis, allowing separate discussions of the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and exchange rates. The tables on page 5 present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.
Operating Working Capital
Due to the need to optimize cash generation to create value for shareholders, management focuses on operationally derived working capital as defined in the table below. The reconciling items used to derive this measure are, by contrast, managed as part of our overall management of cash and debt, but they are not part of the responsibilities of day-to-day operations' management.

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

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

Free Cash Flow, Net Cash Before Financing and Cash Conversion
Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure free cash flow to analyze the amount of cash flow being generated by the Company’s operations after capital expenditure, net. This measure indicates the Company’s cash flow generation level that enables strategic value creation options such as dividends or acquisitions. For details on free cash flow see the reconciliation table below. Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure net cash before financing to analyze and disclose the cash flow generation available for servicing external stakeholders such as shareholders and debt stakeholders. For details on net cash before financing, see the reconciliation table below. Management uses the non-U.S. GAAP measure cash conversion to analyze the proportion of net income that is converted into free cash flow. The measure is a tool to evaluate how efficient the Company utilizes its resources. For details on cash conversion, see the reconciliation table below.
