Comments from Jan Carlson, Chairman, President and CEO
We are proud that thespin-off of Veoneer from Autoliv, Inc. was successfully completed according to schedule. Veoneer is now the world’s largest pure-play company focused on Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD). We are well capitalized and positioned to capture growth and value from this long-term megatrend in the automotive industry.
Our current top priorities are order intake, execution of our current business and the competitiveness of our technology portfolio.
Our strong order intake over the last 12 months is expected to generate lifetime sales of well over $5 billion. Since our Investor Day in late May, we have secured 15 new orders across all of our product areas, leading to a current annual order intake at a similar level as at the end of the quarter. This includes small but strategically important orders with two new customers for Vision, Radar and Driver Monitoring in the rapidly growing market for active safety products in China. This is in addition to our previously announced major business wins during the quarter in vision and driver monitoring.
We currently see increased customer activity across our product portfolio, as well as higher than anticipated take rates for Active Safety products. These early market indicators are encouraging and if we conclude that they are likely to affect our previously announced sales targets for 2022 and beyond, they may also heighten our short-term investment needs.
Our technology portfolio is generally well positioned. Ourin-house developed vision products are highly competitive, and we have the next generation products just around the corner. We are winning business in the new growth area of driver monitoring systems, and including the software developed by Zenuity we are positioning Veoneer to be a full system supplier for ADAS and AD.
The anticipated 2018 organic sales decline is mainly a result of our shift in vision product strategy in late 2013, combined with thephase-out of certain contracts in Restraint Control and Brake Systems. In line with previously communicated plans, we expect most of the anticipated strong growth from the current order intake, including Restraint Control and Brake Systems, to begin in late 2019, then stepping up in 2020 and beyond.
We begin as a NYSE and Nasdaq Stockholm listed company with a strong balance sheet of around $1 billion of cash, giving us the ability to continue to effectively invest for growth and tackle potential downturns in the market until we reach positive operating margin and cash flow.
Veoneer’s purpose is to create trust in mobility. Through our unique combination of automotive safety and technical competence we will work relentlessly to support our customers navigating in the current unparalleled change that is taking place in the automotive industry.
An earnings conference call will be held at 13:00 p.m. (CET) today, July 27, 2018. To follow the webcast or to obtain the pin code and phone number, please accesswww.veoneer.com.

1) | Non-U.S. GAAP measure reconciliation for Organic Sales |
Sales– Veoneer’s sales developed according to plan during the quarter in which net sales decreased by around 1% to $572 million as compared to 2017. The organic sales decline of 4.5% was mostly offset by currency translation effects of 3.3%, which was mainly due to a weaker US dollar as compared to 2017.
The organic sales developed essentially according to plan during the quarter. The decline of Restraint Control Systems and Brake Systems, was partially offset by Active Safety growth.
Restraint Control Systems– Net sales for the quarter of $246 million decreased by 7% as compared to 2017. The organic sales decline of approximately 12%, was mainly attributable to the phase out of certain vehicle models.
Active Safety – Net sales for the quarter of $215 million increased by 12% as compared to 2017. This improvement was mainly driven by an increase in organic sales of 11%.
Strong demand for vision systems and ADAS ECUs on several vehicle models, mono vision on the Mini, and night vision to Audi together with radar products on several models, accounted for most of the organic sales growth. This strong growth was partially offset by the continued ramp-down of current GPS business.
Brake Systems – Net sales of $111 million for the quarter decreased by approximately 9% as compared to 2017, mainly due to an organic sales decline of 12%, primarily due to lower delivery volumes on certain vehicle models.
Income Statement
Gross Profit – Gross Profit for the quarter of $112 million was $8 million lower as compared to 2017. The volume/mix impact from the decline in organic sales was partially offset by positive net currency effects of around $3 million.
Operating Loss – The operating loss for the quarter of $48 million was $36 million more as compared to 2017.
The planned increase in RD&E investments of $17 million, mainly related to the increase in engineers to support customer projects for future sales growth, and higher SG&A of $11 million, mostly related to the additional costs associated with being a standalone listed company, accounted for most of the change as compared to 2017.
The net currency effect for the quarter was negligible as compared to 2017.
A slight increase in the amortization of intangibles for the quarter was offset by an increase in other income as compared to 2017.
Net Loss – The net loss for the quarter of $66 million increased by $36 million as compared to 2017.
In addition to the operating loss impact, Veoneer’s net cost of the Zenuity JV increased by $8 million during the quarter as compared to 2017. This is primarily due to a higher net costrun-rate in 2018, related to the hiring of additional software engineers over the last 12 months bringing Zenuity’s total to approximately 500.
Income tax for the quarter was $3 million as compared to $11 million in 2017. The lower tax expense was primarily impacted by a reduction in thepre-tax earnings of our profitable subsidiaries. Lastly, thenon-controlling interest loss in Veoneer Nissin Brake Systems was $3 million for the quarter as compared to $2 million in 2017.
Loss per Share – The loss per share decreased to $0.72 for the quarter as compared to a loss of $0.32 per share in 2017 due to the change in net loss, as the share count remained unchanged.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash used in operating activities – Net cash used in operating activities of $85 million during the quarter was approximately $42 million higher than in 2017 mainly due to timing related to working capital items and the higher net loss.
Net cash used in investing activities – Net cash used in investing activities of $37 million during the quarter was $111 million lower than in 2017. Higher capital expenditures of $17 million was more than offset by lower investments in Zenuity of $113 million and a decline in a related party note receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents for the quarter of $980 million includes the net capital contribution from Autoliv adjusted for cash held in joint ventures.
Net Working Capital – The net working capital* of $135 million at the end of the quarter was an increase of $75 million as compared to the prior quarter in 2017. The increase was mainly due to timing of changes in working capital.
Capital Expenditures – Capital expenditures of $40 million for the quarter increased by $17 million as compared to 2017. This level is approximately 7% of sales and is slightly lower than our full year 2018 expectation of upper single digits as a percentage of sales.
Shareholders Equity – Shareholders equity, excludingnon-controlling interest for the quarter of $1,989 million includes the cash liquidity provided from Autoliv immediately prior to thespin-off.

1) | Non-U.S. GAAP measure reconciliation for Organic Sales |
The net sales increase in the Electronics segment of $4 million for the quarter as compared to 2017 was mainly attributable to strong Active Safety growth which was partially offset by the decline in Restraint Control Systems sales.
The operating loss in the segment increased to $31 million in the quarter as compared to 2017 mainly due to the volume mix impact from lower organic sales and increase in RD&E cost to support future organic sales growth.
For the quarter, Segment EBITDA* declined by $23 million to a negative $13 million as compared to 2017. This increase is mainly due to the increased operating loss whereas depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged.
The number of associates increased by over 900 mainly due to hiring of engineers to support a strong order intake for both Restraint Control Systems and Active Safety.

The net sales decline of $12 million in the Brake Systems segment for the quarter as compared to 2017 was mainly attributable to lower delivery volumes on certain Honda vehicle models.
The operating loss in the segment increased to $4 million as compared to 2017 mainly due to the volume/mix impact on lower organic sales and a slight increase in RD&E to support future organic sales growth which was partially offset by reductions in overhead costs.
For the quarter, Segment EBITDA of $5 million remained relatively unchanged as compared to 2017. The increase in operating loss of $3 million was essentially offset by slightly lower depreciation on fixed assets.
The number of associates declined by 134 primarily due to overhead reductions related to the Honda sales decline.

1) | Non-U.S. GAAP measure reconciliation for Organic Sales |
Sales – Net sales for the first half of 2018 increased by $4 million to $1,166 million as compared to 2017. The organic sales* decline of 4.3% was more than offset by positive currency translation effects of 4.6%, mainly due to a weaker US dollar as compared to 2017.
Organic sales developed according to plan during the first half of 2018. A decline in Restraint Control Systems and Brake Systems, was partially offset by Active Safety organic sales growth. We expect this sales trend in Restraint Control and Brake Systems to rebound during 2019 and into 2020 based on new business awarded during 2016 and 2017.
Restraint Control Systems – Net sales of $514 million for the first half of 2018 decreased by 4% as compared to 2017. The organic sales decline of approximately 10% was mainly driven by thephase-out of certain models.
Active Safety - Net sales of $427 million for the first half of 2018 increased by 12% as compared to 2017. This improvement was mostly driven by an increase in organic sales of 8%.
Strong demand for vision systems, ADAS ECUs and radar products on multiple models accounted for most of the organic sales growth together with night vision systems to Audi. This strong growth was partially offset by the continued ramp-down of current GPS business.
Brake Systems – Net sales of $225 million for the first half of 2018 decreased by approximately 7% as compared to 2017, mainly due to an organic sales decline of 11%, primarily due to lower volumes on certain vehicle models.
Income Statement
Gross Profit – Gross Profit of $223 million for the first half of 2018 was $10 million lower as compared to 2017. The volume/mix impact from the decline in organic sales was partially offset by net currency effects of around $17 million.
Operating Loss – The operating loss of $64 million for the first half of 2018 was $42 million more as compared to 2017, including a net favorable currency benefit of $6 million.
The planned increase in RD&E investments of $36 million, mainly related to the increase in engineers for future sales growth, and higher SG&A of $13 million, mainly resulting from the additional costs associated with being a standalone public company, accounted for most of the change from 2017.
These effects were partially offset by a $13 million decrease in the amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, which prior year amortizations was the result of an impairment charge in 2017, and a $4 million increase in other income during the first half of 2018.
Net Loss – The net loss for the first half of 2018 of $103 million was $51 million more as compared to 2017.
In addition to the operating loss impact, the Veoneer net cost of the Zenuity JV increased by $22 million for the first half of 2018 due to the increased net costrun-rate in 2018 and an additional quarter of cost in 2018 since the JV was formed in April 2017.
Income tax for the first half of 2018 was $10 million as compared to $22 million in 2017. The tax expense was primarily impacted by a reduction in thepre-tax earnings of our profitable subsidiaries.
Thenon-controlling interest loss in the VNBS JV was $8 million for the first half of 2018 as compared to $4 million in 2017.
Loss per Share - The loss per share for the first half of 2018 increased to $1.09 as compared to a loss of $0.55 per share in 2017 due to the change in net loss.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash used in operating activities – Net cash flow of minus $164 million for the first half of 2018 increased by $129 million as compared to 2017 mainly due to the change in net loss and timing of changes in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities – Net cash used in investing activities of $62 million for the first half of 2018 was $102 million lower as compared to 2017, mainly due to higher capital expenditures which was more than offset by lower affiliate investments.
Net Working Capital – The net working capital of $135 million at the end of the quarter was an increase of $77 million since December 31, 2017. The increase is mainly due to an increase in related party receivables.
Capital Expenditures – Capital expenditures during the first half of 2018 of $71 million was approximately 6% of sales and $21 million more as compared to 2017. This level is slightly lower than the expectation for full year 2018.

Net sales in the Electronics segment for the first half of 2018 increased by $21 million to $941 million as compared to 2017.

The operating loss in the Electronics segment increased by $23 million to $32 million for the first half of 2018 as compared to 2017. The increase is mainly due to unfavorable volume/mix on lower organic sales and a planned increase in RD&E costs to support future sales growth.
For the first half of 2018, Segment EBITDA of $4 million declined by $32 million as compared to 2017. In addition to the change in operating loss, amortization of intangibles declined mainly related to MACOM acquisition effects.
The number of associates increased by approximately 500 since December 31, 2017 mainly due to increases in RD&E to support future organic sales growth.

The net sales decline of $20 million in the Brake Systems segment for the first half of 2018 as compared to 2017 was mainly attributable to lower volumes on certain Honda models.
The operating loss in the Brake Systems segment increased by $9 million to $12 million in the first half of 2018 as compared to 2017. This is mainly due to the volume/mix effect from lower organic sales and slight increase in RD&E costs to support sales growth which was partially offset by reduced overhead costs.
For the first half of 2018, Segment EBITDA of $7 million declined $9 million as compared to 2017. The change in operating loss accounted for the entire change.
The number of associates declined by close to 90 since December 31, 2017 mainly due to the reductions in direct manufacturing as well as production overhead and SG&A due to lower organic sales.
Page 5 (10) | 27 July 2018 |
Outlook for 2018
Our sales indication for full year 2018 remains unchanged from January 29, 2018. Total net sales are expected to remain at approximately the same level as 2017 where organic sales are estimated to decline from the prior year by around 3%.
Net sales declines in Restraint Control and Brake Systems are expected to be partially offset by Active Safety organic sales growth of more than 10%. The overall organic sales decline is expected to be offset by favorable currency translation effects.
Based on our current levels of orders and deliveries we expect the quarterly operating loss to remain around similar levels as Q2 for Q3 and Q4 2018.
Our previously announced 2020 and 2022 targets remain unchanged; however, we see a current trend of increasing customer activity across geographies and our product portfolio, as well as potentially higher than anticipated take rates for Active Safety products.
These early market indicators are encouraging and if we conclude that they are likely to affect our previous announced sales targets for 2022 and beyond, they may also potentially heighten our short-term investment needs.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are reconciled throughout this press release and in our quarterly report on Form 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In this report we refer to organic sales or changes in organic sales growth, anon-U.S. GAAP financial measure that we, investors and analysts use to analyze the Company’s sales trends and performance. We believe that this measure assists investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company’s business because the Company generates approximately 65% of sales, a significant amount of sales, in currencies other than in U.S. dollars (its reporting currency) and currency rates have been and can be rather volatile. Additionally, the Company has historically made several acquisitions and divestitures. Organic sales and organic sales growth 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 on the Company’s performance. The tables in this report present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.
The Company also uses in this report EBITDA, anon-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which represents the Company’s net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also uses Segment EBITDA, anon-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which represents the Company’s EBITDA which has been further adjusted on a segment basis to exclude certain corporate and other items. We believe that EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are useful measures for management, analysts and investors to evaluate operating performance on a consolidated and reportable segment basis, because it assists in comparing our performance on a consistent basis. The tables below provide reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Segment EBTIDA.
The Company also uses in this report net working capital, anon-U.S. GAAP financial measure, which is defined as current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities. Management uses this measure to improve its ability to assess liquidity at a point in time. The table below provides a reconciliation of current assets and liabilities to net working capital.
Investors should not consider thesenon-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.
The forward lookingnon-U.S. GAAP financial measure used in this report is provided on anon-U.S. GAAP basis. Veoneer has not provided a U.S. GAAP reconciliation of this measure because items that impact this measure, such as foreign currency exchange rates, cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and Veoneer is unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.
