The earnings call reflected a mix of positive achievements such as record sales, improved operating margins, and strong shareholder returns, balanced by challenges related to tariffs, regional mix, and expectations of a challenging second half of the year.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During Autoliv, Inc.'s second quarter 2025 earnings call, the company reported record sales of over $2.7 billion, marking a 4% increase year-over-year, and adjusted operating income of $251 million, a 14% rise from the previous year. The adjusted operating margin improved by 80 basis points to 9.3%, while earnings per share reached a record high, supported by net profit growth and a reduced share count. Autoliv successfully recovered approximately 80% of the tariff costs incurred during the quarter, though tariffs negatively impacted the operating margin by about 35 basis points. The company's strong cash flow of $277 million and a healthy debt leverage ratio of 1.3 times supported a dividend increase to $0.85 per share and stock repurchases, with a commitment to $300 to $500 million annually. Despite an unfavorable regional and customer mix, organic sales grew by more than 3%, driven by performance in Europe and India, while China experienced improved sales growth relative to light vehicle production. For the full year 2025, Autoliv anticipates organic sales growth of around 3%, an adjusted operating margin of 10 to 10.5%, and operating cash flow of approximately $1.2 billion, amidst expectations of a global light vehicle production decline of around 0.5%.

Record Second Quarter Sales and Earnings

Autoliv reported record sales and earnings for the second quarter of 2025, with a year-over-year sales increase of 4% driven by strong outperformance relative to light vehicle production, favorable currency effects, and tariff-related compensations.

Improved Operating Profit and Margin

Operating profit and operating margin significantly improved, with the adjusted operating income increasing by 14% to $251 million, and the adjusted operating margin up by 80 basis points to 9.3%.

Strong Earnings Per Share Growth

Record earnings per share for the second quarter, with earnings per share more than tripling over the past five years, driven by strong net profit growth and a reduced share count.

Solid Shareholder Returns

The company remains committed to $300 to $500 million in annual stock repurchases and increased the third-quarter dividend to $0.85 per share.

Positive Sales Growth in China and India

Sales in China showed improvement, with a narrowing gap between sales growth and light vehicle production growth. Autoliv also outperformed the underlying LVP growth in India, holding a 60% market share.
