Autoliv — Jan 30, 2026 release

In the fourth quarter, we accelerated shareholder returns while also improving our leverage ratio - demonstrating both financial strength and disciplined capital management. Our 2026 guidance, assuming 1% GLVP decline, is organic growth of around 0% and adjusted operating margin of around 10.5-11.0%. We expect Q1 2026 adjusted operating margin to be considerably weaker than Q1 2025, with improvements in the following three quarters. Our solid position and strong performance in Asia are instrumental to our continued progress. I am confident that together with our demonstrated ability to improve performance in a low-growth environment, we have a solid foundation for continued attractive shareholder returns and a clear path towards our 12% adjusted operating margin target. Our profit development and balance sheet control resulted in record high operating cash flow and free operating cash flow for both the quarter and the full year. For 2025, operating cash flow was 11% of sales and free operating cash flow was 7% of sales. Over the past few years, we have taken significant steps to strengthen our position in China with COEMs through investments in footprint and engineering capacity, and by signing several strategic co-operation agreements. This is paying off, evidenced by the fact that 30% of our order intake in 2025 was from COEMs, which includes order intake for COEM production in Europe and the world's first foldable steering wheel for autonomous driving.   1
