Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 26, 2024, Autoliv, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2024. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. This press release contains certain references to financial measures identified as “organic sales,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating margin,” “trade working capital,” “adjusted earnings per share,” “net debt,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “net cash before financing,” “operating cash flow,” “free cash flow,” “cash conversion,” “leverage ratio,” and “adjusted return on capital employed,” all of which are adjustments from comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These financial measures, as used herein, differ from financial measures reported under GAAP, and management believes that these financial presentations provide useful supplemental information, which is important to a proper understanding by investors of the Company’s core business results. These presentations should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. For an explanation of the reasons why management uses these figures, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024, and the Press Release regarding its financial results for the first quarter of 2024. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
