Comments from Jan Carlson, President and CEO
“Autoliv had a solid quarter achieving record sales and a solid operating
margin. The global vehicle production developed slightly better than
anticipated, and through good execution, and high deliveries to well performing
vehicle platforms we were able to benefit from the increase. During the quarter
Autoliv held a Capital Market Day outlining future strategies for growth, and it
is especially pleasing to see the key strategic growth areas of active safety,
and new growth markets, specifically China, performing well.

In our new growth area of active safety, organic sales grew by more than 70%.
This strong performance gives further confidence that we are on track to achieve
our target of $500 million in active safety sales in 2015. We also continue to
benefit from our long-term presence in China. We had another quarter with double
digit sales growth, largely driven by the Chinese OEMs. This focus on safety
from leading Chinese car manufacturers is an important trend for the future and
Autoliv is well positioned to continue to benefit from it.

European sales in the quarter were stronger than expected, driven by an
unexpected increase in vehicle production and high sales to premium European car
makers. However, we remain cautious regarding Europe, as we don’t see any
improvement in vehicle production or overall economic recovery in the region and
the adjustment of our European production footprint is taking longer than
previously expected.

We enter the second half of the year guided by our business plan outlined at the
Capital Market Day in May and with a sharp focus on continued execution of our
strategies.”
