Key business developments in the second quarter of 2020

•

Organic sales declined* 2.6pp more than global light vehicle production declined, with the negative regional mix offsetting our outperformance within each of the regions. April sales declined Y-o-Y organically by 65%, May by 55% and June by 20%. Order intake in the first half year was in line with last year and supportive of prolonged sales outperformance.

•

Profitability and cash flow negatively impacted by customer plant closures and a volatile industry ramp up, and by continued high engineering activity preparing for future model launches. Our liquidity position remains strong with $1.7bn in cash and committed, unused loan facilities. Operating cash flow was $128m negative in Q2, but it turned positive in June.

•

Substantial cost reductions with short- and long-term effects includes reduction of personnel costs by 25% vs. Q1, and launching Structural Efficiency Program phase II, which targets additional annual employee cost reductions of around $65m. Further potential structural cost reductions, including footprint, remain under evaluation.

Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO

The challenges we managed in the second quarter were unprecedented. The COVID-19 pandemic is first and foremost a human crisis, where safeguarding health and safety is our first priority and our global Smart Start Playbook has been instrumental to us in safely restarting our operations. I am proud that we have a solid organization that managed to reduce costs, safely restart operations while continue to execute on our long-term strategy.

The pace and scope of the demand decline coupled with a volatile ramp-up had a significant impact on our financial performance in the quarter. Our largest markets Americas and Europe were virtually standing still in April, followed by a restart and ramp-up in May and June. Daily adjustments were needed to respond to a low and volatile customer demand, including headcount reductions of 3,700 since March, furloughing personnel and significant reductions in capex and discretionary spending.

We must balance the cost reduction responses against the need for capacity to manage the recovery that started mid-quarter and continues in the first weeks of July. We also need to preserve capacity for the new normal market demand and our expected outgrowth. I am confident that the actions implemented and planned are positioning Autoliv well to benefit from any demand recovery.

Our sales declined slightly more than global LVP, which almost halved in the quarter vs. a year ago. Our organic sales development was better than LVP in all regions but because high safety content markets declined more than low safety content markets, sales mix was unfavorable.

Encouragingly, operating cash flow turned positive in June. It is also positive that our customers´ sourcing activities and model launch plans are close to unchanged. Our engineering support for these activities remain high, even though there are some limited new model launch delays. I am also pleased that order intake for the first half year was in line with last year.

The Structural Efficiency Program (SEP) was close to complete at the end of Q2. We now launch SEP2 as the next step. We also continue the strategic initiatives and structural improvement projects outlined at our CMD in 2019. The ambition is to ensure that we have an adequate cost structure supporting our medium-term profitability targets also in a reduced LVP environment, although the additional challenge could mean that more time is needed to reach our targets.

COVID-19 pandemic related business update

Autoliv is navigating the same challenges that many other companies are facing in managing and forecasting the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the automotive industry. 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 half of 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on our operations already in the first quarter, particularly in China, where most of our 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 second half of March 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 (LVP) declined by 22% in Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2019 and by 45% in Q2 2020 vs. Q2 2019. The decline in global LVP and the slow and volatile restart and ramp-up had a significant impact on our sales and profitability in the first half of 2020.

Liquidity and management actions to manage this challenging period

•

Cancelling the second quarter dividend 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 (RCF) in two tranches in March and April, securing SEK 6 billion ($0.6 billion) in loans from Swedish Export Credit Corporation in May, mainly used to pay down $0.5 billion of the RCF. Cash balance and unutilized, committed credit facilities amounted to approximately $1.7 billion at June 30, 2020, which gives us a healthy liquidity position as debt maturities are $218 million in 2020 and $275 million in 2021. Capex was reduced Y-o-Y by 50% in Q2 2020.

•

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.

•

Reduced headcount by 5.6% in Q2 vs. Q1 2020. Strict inventory control, close monitoring of receivables and close collaboration with suppliers. Adjusting production and work week hours to rapid changes in 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.

•

Structural Efficiency Program I was close to complete at the end of Q2 2020 and we launched Structural Efficiency Program II in Q2 2020. SEP1 was launched in Q2 2019 and reduced the indirect workforce by around 800 employees with annual employee cost reductions at around $60 million and with costs for the program of around $52 million. SEP 2 targets an additional reduction of around 900 of the indirect workforce and around $65 million in annual reduction in employee costs when completed in 2021 and with costs for the program of around $65 million. The costs for SEP1 and SEP2 are included in our capacity alignment adjustments.

•

Based on our Smart Start Playbook, developed for our ramp-up following COVID-19 related shutdowns, we have invested in employee safety equipment, re-designed production lines and work places as necessary, and adapted new processes for interactions with our suppliers and customers to safely manage the restart and ramp-up of our operations. Direct COVID-19 related costs, such as personal protective equipment, temporary supplier support and premium freight was around $10 million in Q2 2020.

Second half of 2020

In all regions around the world, the automotive industry, including Autoliv, are in different stages of ramp-up of operations. This is a positive trend, but with certain challenges, as global LVP is expected to still be below 2019 levels and there is still high volatility in customer call-offs. The high volatility and thus low volume predictability have a negative impact on operational efficiency, including cost and capital efficiency. The volatility has gradually declined but is still higher than normal in all regions. As communicated earlier, Autoliv also expects second half 2020 profitability headwinds from lower inflator replacement sales, costs relating to factory of the future investments and higher depreciation and amortization. Autoliv expects profitability tailwinds in the second half year from cost reduction actions such as the Structural Efficiency Programs and strategic initiatives outlined at the CMD 2019, execution of the strong order book and lower raw material costs.

Next steps

While we continue to focus on cost reduction actions, we are ramping up production in coordination with our customers and suppliers. Although visibility is limited, below is a summary of our current view of our three most important regions.

China: OEMs returned to pre-crisis production levels in the second quarter, with 7% Y-o-Y growth in LVP according to IHS. China Association of Automotive Manufacturers reported that Q2 2020 light vehicle sales were 7.1 % above Q2 2019.

Europe: LVP improved gradually from April’s Y-o-Y decline of 93% to 61% in May and 29% in June. Car registrations in Western Europe improved during the quarter but June was still around 22% below a year earlier, as dealers in large parts of Europe did not re-open until late May or in June. The production rate will likely continue to be volatile for the next few months at least, with reduced shifts to adapt to uncertain demand and component availability.

North America: LVP improved gradually from April’s Y-o-Y decline of 99% to 85% in May and 26% in June. Light vehicle sales improved during the quarter from a SAAR of 8.6 million in April to 12.3 million in May and 13.1 million in June. Retail sales were significantly stronger than fleet sales, as large fleet buyers such as rental companies are not yet buying in large volumes. Dealer inventories at the end of June were low, at 2.6 million, or 59 days of supply, and there is scope for demand support from inventory build-up in the next few months.

Second quarter 2020 development

Sales by product - Airbags		Sales by product - Seatbelts

Sales of all our different airbag products except textiles declined organically* by between 40% and 80% in the second quarter. Textiles increased organically by 40%, reflecting new sales of textiles for manufacturing of personal protection equipment. Inflator sales declined organically by around 75%.		Seatbelt sales organic decline* broadly reflected the regional sales declines, with seatbelt sales in China growing organically by 12% while organic seatbelt sales in all other regions declined by between 17% and 76%.

Sales by region

Our global organic sales declined* by 47.8% compared to the LVP decline of 45.2% (according to IHS). Sales declined organically in all regions except China, which was up by 8.5%. The largest organic sales decline drivers were Americas and Europe, followed by Japan and Rest of Asia. Our organic sales development outperformed LVP in all regions - by almost 11pp in Asia excluding China, by more than		5pp in Americas, by around 3pp in Europe and by 1.6pp in China. Despite outperforming in all regions, our sales did not outperform on a global level because markets with high safety content per vehicle such as North America and Europe, declined significantly more than markets with lower safety content per vehicles such as China which lead to the automotive safety market declining significantly more than LVP.

Second quarter 2020 development

Gross profit decreased by $385 million and the gross margin decreased by 17.2pp compared to the same quarter 2019. The gross margin decline was primarily driven by lower sales and lower utilization of our assets from the decline in LVP. The sharp sales decline in April coupled with a volatile restart and ramp-up in May and June with limited visibility and predictability had a significant effect on our gross margin, despite major reductions in costs for material and labor. Direct COVID-19 costs amounted to around $10 million in Q2 2020.

S,G&A declined by $3 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year, mainly due to lower personnel costs.

R,D&E, net declined by $29 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to positive year over year effects from lower personnel costs due to reduced headcount and furloughing.

Other income (expense), net declined by $50 million compared to a year earlier, mainly due to capacity alignment accruals of $62 million in Q2 2020 compared to $13 million a year earlier. The Q2 accruals are mainly related to future reductions of our indirect workforce under the Structural Efficiency Program II.

Operating (loss) income decreased by $403 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 (loss) income* decreased by around $355 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 improved by $6 million, mainly due to lower interest rates on debt and FX gains.

(Loss) income before taxes decreased by $397 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to the lower operating income.

Tax rate was 29.3%, compared to 27.4% the same quarter last year, impacted by unfavorable country mix with some losses without tax benefit.

Earnings per share, diluted decreased by $3.25 compared to a year earlier, where the main drivers were $5.70 from lower operating income partly mitigated by $2.37 from lower tax.

First six months 2020 development

Gross profit declined by $433 million and the gross margin declined by 6.1pp compared to the same period 2019. The gross margin decline was primarily driven by lower sales and lower utilization of our 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 $10 million, or by 5%, mainly due to lower personnel costs.

R,D&E, net declined by $34 million, or by 15%, mainly due to positive year over year effects from lower personnel costs due to reduced headcount and furloughing.

Other income (expense), net declined by $54 million compared to a year earlier, mainly due to capacity alignment accruals of $64 million in first half of 2020 compared to $13 million a year earlier. The accruals mainly related to future reductions of our indirect workforce under the Structural Efficiency Programs.

Operating (loss) income decreased by $442 million, mainly as a consequence of the declines in gross profit and other income (expense), net, partly offset by lower costs for S,G&A and R,D&E, net.

Adjusted operating (loss) income* decreased by $385 million, mainly due to the lower gross profit, partly offset by lower costs for S,G&A and R,D&E, net.

Financial and non-operating items, net improved by around $2 million to $36 million, mainly due to lower interest rate on debt.

(Loss) income before taxes decreased by $440 million, mainly as a consequence of lower operating income.

Tax rate was 26.5%, compared to 27.4% last year, impacted by unfavorable country mix with some losses without tax benefit.

Earnings per share, diluted decreased by $3.66 where the main drivers were $6.20 from lower operating income partly mitigated by $2.50 from lower tax.

The comparative cash conversion for 2019 has been adjusted to n/a from that previously published. This is to align with the current period methodology applied that cash conversion is not applicable when the free cash flow or net income is negative in a period.

Second quarter 2020 development

Operating working capital* was 7.0% of sales compared to 7.5% of sales a year earlier, mainly due to accounts receivable declining more than accounts payable. The Company targets that operating working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.

Operating cash flow was $128 million negative, compared to $21 million negative a year earlier, mainly due to the lower net income, partly offset by the EC antitrust payment of $203 million in Q2 2019, and by positive effects from changes in operating assets and liabilities in Q2 2020.

Capital expenditure, net of $64 million was $64 million lower than a year earlier, reflecting our efforts to reduce capital expenditure to support cash flow. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was 6.1% vs. 5.9% a year earlier.

Free cash flow* amounted to $192 million negative, compared to $148 million negative a year earlier. The decrease of $44 million was mainly due to the lower operating cash flow, partly offset by the lower capital expenditure, net.

Cash conversion* defined as free cash flow* in relation to net income, was not meaningful in the second quarter as both net income and free cash flow were negative.

Net debt* amounted to $1,838 million as of June 30, 2020, which was $27 million higher than a year earlier and $188 million higher compared to December 31, 2019.

Liquidity position At June 30, 2020 our cash balance was $1.2 billion, and including committed, unused loan facilities, our liquidity position was $1.7 billion. Debt maturing in 2020 is $218 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 June 30, 2020, the Company had a leverage ratio of 2.9x, compared to 1.8x at June 30, 2019. The increase is due to a lower adjusted EBITDA in the current period compared to a year earlier. At December 31, 2019, the leverage ratio was 1.7x.

Total equity decreased by $83 million compared to June 30, 2019 mainly due to $108 million in dividends and $100 million from negative FX effects partly offset by $141 million in net income.

First six months 2020 development

Operating cash flow was $28 million compared to $133 million a year earlier. The decline of $105 million was primarily due to the lower net income, partly offset by the EC antitrust payment of $203 million in Q2 2019, and by positive effects from changes in operating assets and liabilities in first half of 2020.

Capital expenditure, net of $152 million was 36% lower than a year earlier, reflecting our efforts to reduce capital expenditure to support cash flow. Capital expenditure, net in relation to sales was 5.3% compared to 5.4% in the same period 2019.

Free cash flow* amounted to $124 million negative compared to $103 million negative a year earlier, where the decrease was due to the lower operating cash flow partly offset by lower capital expenditure, net.

Cash conversion* defined as free cash flow in relation to net income, was not meaningful in the first half year as both net income and free cash flow were negative.

Headcount


		Jun 30, 2020	Mar 31, 2020	Jun 30, 2019
Headcount	61,767		65,464	65,670
Whereof: Direct workers in manufacturing	70%		71%	71%
Best cost countries	81%		81%	80%
Temporary personnel	6%		8%	10%

Compared to March 31, 2020, total headcount (permanent employees and temporary personnel) decreased by 3,697. The decrease in the quarter was driven by a reduction of around 7% of the direct workforce while the indirect workforce decreased by around 2%. Our responses to manage the demand declines in Europe and Americas also include furloughing employees and shorter work weeks to

reduce wage and salary costs. Our operations in almost all regions are currently in different stages of ramp-up, as customer demand gradually increased in May and June. Compared to a year ago, total headcount decreased by 3,903, driven by a reduction of around 7% of the direct workforce and a reduction of 4% of the indirect 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 historically 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 pages 5 and 6 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.

Net Debt

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.

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.

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.

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.
