Financial Report April - June 2014

Solid growth across our markets

(Stockholm, July 18, 2014) — For the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIV.Sdb) – the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems – reported consolidated sales of $2,383 million, the highest quarterly sales for the Company ever. Quarterly organic sales (for non-U.S. GAAP measures* see enclosed reconciliation table) grew by more than 7%. The adjusted operating margin* was 9.3%.

The expectation at the beginning of the quarter was for an organic sales growth of “around 5%” and an adjusted operating margin of “around 9%”. During the quarter the Company recorded legal costs related to the settlements of class action lawsuits in the U.S. of around $70 million. Additionally the Company returned a total of $146 million to our shareholders through share buybacks and dividends. The Company also secured $1.25 billion in long term funding at an average interest rate of 3.84% by the closing of its U.S. private placement.

For the third quarter of 2014 we expect organic sales to increase by around 6%, and an adjusted operating margin of around 8.5%. The indication for the full year is now for organic sales growth of more than 6%, and an adjusted operating margin of around 9%.

LOGO  

“In the second quarter we saw solid growth across our markets, notably North America, Europe and Japan. The exception was Brazil where we saw a sharp decline in light vehicle production. In addition, our main growth engines over the last two years, China and active safety, continued their strong performance.

 

Coming from low production levels, Europe saw its sixth consecutive quarter of growth with European car sales growing by 7% in the first half of 2014. At the moment we see a slow but sustained recovery in Europe. This supports the operational improvement program in our European steering wheel business which is developing in line with the original plan outlined last year.

The growth in Japan was a positive surprise. At the beginning of the quarter a decline of the light vehicle production was expected as a result of an increase in the Japanese consumption tax. Instead, we saw slight growth and a favorable product mix for Autoliv which led to double digit growth. A sustained recovery in the Japanese economy could also reflect positively on the light vehicle production moving forward.

 

Active safety showed solid growth in the quarter and in order to support the continued growth and development in this business we have decided to increase the development and engineering spending.

 

In the current situation with millions of cars being recalled for safety related reasons the importance of quality cannot be overemphasized. In this environment we continue to further build our position as the industry’s quality leader, as our business is all about saving lives.

 

With these issues in mind we continue the focus on our growth strategy, quality, and execution of the 2014 transition.”

Q2 Report – 2014   2nd Quarter

 

Outlook

 

Based on our customer call-offs we expect organic sales for the third quarter of 2014 to grow by around 6% compared to the same quarter of 2013. Currencies are expected to have a positive effect, resulting in a consolidated sales growth of around 7%. The adjusted operating margin, excluding costs for capacity alignments and antitrust matters, is expected to be around 8.5%.

The indication for the full year is for organic sales growth of more than 6% and an operating margin of around 9%, excluding costs for capacity alignments and antitrust matters. Consolidated sales are expected to grow by close to 7% as effects from currencies are expected to be slightly positive.

Our capacity alignment program continues, and we now expect the costs for the program to be more than $40 million for the full year 2014.

The projected effective tax rate for the full year 2014 is currently expected to be around 29%, excluding any discrete items, and is subject to change due to any other discrete or nonrecurring events that may occur.

Operational cash flow is expected to remain strong and to be at least $700 million excluding any discrete items. Capital expenditures are expected to increase in support of our growth strategy and to be in the previously communicated range of 4.5% to 5.0% of sales.

 

 

Consolidated Sales

 

Consolidated sales increased by more than 8%, to $2,383 million compared to $2,198 million, in the same quarter of 2013. Excluding positive currency effects of $22 million the organic sales growth* was more than 7%. This compares favorably to the organic sales growth of “around 5%” expected at the beginning of the quarter.

The main reason that Autoliv exceeded its quarterly sales guidance was stronger than expected vehicle production volumes in most regions, particularly Europe, North America, Japan and South Korea, as well as higher sales in active safety.

The growth in sales of airbag products (including steering wheels and safety electronics) was mainly driven by high growth for side airbags, knee airbags, safety electronics and steering wheels.

The growth in seatbelt products was primarily driven by strong sales growth in China, North America and Europe. The trend of higher sales for more advanced and higher value added seatbelt systems continued globally.

South America showed a decline due to lower light vehicle production (LVP).

All areas of active safety products (automotive radars, night vision systems and cameras with driver assist systems) showed strong growth. Sales of radar and night vision products to Mercedes were particularly strong, but vision products to BMW also contributed.

1) Effects from currency translations.

 

The organic sales growth* of more than 7% in the quarter can mainly be attributed to a stronger vehicle mix in all regions and stronger LVP growth than was anticipated at the beginning of the quarter.

Autoliv’s sales in Asia were $783 million. The Company divides its Asian sales into three parts: China, Japan and the Rest of Asia.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in China grew organically* by close to 18% in the quarter. The growth was primarily driven by global OEM’s, but local OEM’s also saw healthy growth. Autoliv’s growth was primarily related to the production ramp ups of Nissan’s Sylphy and X-Trail, VW’s Santana and Passat and Ford’s Kuga and Mondeo. The continued strong sales for Haval’s H6 Sport and Haima’s S5, where Autoliv has high content, also contributed.

In Japan, the expected negative effect on light vehicle sales from the increase in consumption tax on April 1 was smaller than expected. Sales from Autoliv companies saw strong organic sales growth* of more than 14%, primarily due to increases with the Mitsubishi/Nissan co-developed Dayz Roox and Mitsubishi’s EK Space and RVR/ASX. Autoliv also has high content per vehicle on the mentioned models which was a strong driver in achieving double digit growth. The strong growth was partly mitigated by the production of Nissan’s Rogue moving outside Japan.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in the Rest of Asia (RoA) were unchanged. In South Korea, sales increases for Hyundai’s ix35 and Kia’s Sportage were offset by a decrease for Chevrolet, particularly the Cruze, leading to virtually flat organic sales development. In India, sales grew organically due to the recent launch of Hyundai’s i10 with high Autoliv content, as well as increased production for Suzuki. In other Asian countries, sales decreased due to Autoliv’s position on declining platforms.

For Autoliv’s companies in the Americas the sales development was mixed. In North America, organic sales grew as a result of sales increases for Nissan’s Rogue, Chrysler’s new Cherokee and Toyota’s Corolla and Highlander, which all have higher Autoliv content than previous models. This was partly offset by declines for Ford’s Focus. In South America, organic sales declined slightly despite a sharp drop in LVP. This was a result of recent launches with Fiat and Dacia.

The organic sales growth* of more than 4% from Autoliv’s companies in Europe was driven by increased radar sales with Mercedes as part of its on-going roll out of Collision Prevention Assist (CPA) across most of its platforms. Increased production for Ford’s Transit also contributed. This was partly offset by lower production for Renault’s Mégane and Scenic as well as Nissan’s Qashqai and lower Autoliv content in the new Mini.

1) Excluding costs for capacity alignment and antitrust matters (including settlements of class actions)*. 2) Assuming dilution and net of treasury shares.

 

For the second quarter 2014, gross profit was $34 million higher than in the same quarter 2013 mainly due to the higher sales. The gross margin was virtually unchanged, mainly as a result of the ramp-ups of capacity for growth and warranty and field action related costs offsetting the higher sales, currency effects, and lower raw material costs.

Operating income decreased by $55 million to $139 million, or 5.8% of sales, mainly due to around $70 million related to the settlements of class actions in the United States. Research, Development and Engineering (R, D&E) net, was $4 million higher, as a result of higher cost mainly related to active safety. This was partly offset by higher engineering income.

The costs of around $70 million related to the settlements of antitrust related class actions in the United States and $11 million related to capacity alignments reduced operating margin by 3.5pp in the second quarter, compared to 0.3pp in the same quarter 2013. Therefore, operating margin*, excluding these costs, was 9.3% compared to 9.1% of sales for the same period in 2013. For further information regarding the antitrust related costs in the quarter see the “Other Significant Items” section on page 9.

Income before taxes decreased by $70 million to $123 million. Income attributable to controlling interest amounted to $83 million, a decrease of $56 million from the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate was 32.3% compared to 27.6% in the same quarter of 2013. Discrete tax items, net and an unfavorable mix increased the tax rate in this quarter by 2.0pp. Last year, discrete tax items, net decreased the effective tax rate by 1.0pp, but an unfavorable mix and a catch up adjustment increased the rate by 1.2pp.

Earnings per share (EPS) assuming dilution was $0.89 compared to $1.44 for the same period one year ago. EPS assuming dilution was negatively affected by capacity alignment and legal costs by 52 cents, higher interest expense by 7 cents, higher tax rate by 6 cents and other financial items by 5 cents. These negative effects were partly offset by higher operating profit of 15 cents. The adjusted EPS* assuming dilution was $1.45 compared to $1.48 for the same period one year ago.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming dilution decreased to 93.5 million compared to 96.0 million in Q2 2013.

Q2 Report – 2014   2nd Quarter

 

Cash flow and Balance Sheet

 

Cash flow from operations amounted to $86 million compared to $192 million in the same quarter of 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the payment of $65 million for the settlement of the U.S. antitrust class actions and unfavorable timing differences in working capital, mainly related to income taxes.

Cash flow before financing* was negative $29 million compared to $103 million during the same quarter of 2013. Capital expenditures net, of $115 million were $38 million more than depreciation and amortization expense in the quarter and $27 million more than capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2013.

During the quarter, operating working capital* increased to 7.0% of sales from 6.2% on March 31, 2014. The Company targets that working capital in relation to the last 12-month sales should not exceed 10%.

Account receivables decreased in relation to sales to 71 days outstanding from 73 days on March 31, 2014, and from 72 days outstanding on June 30, 2013. Days inventory outstanding were unchanged at 30 days from March 31, 2014, but up from 29 days on June 30, 2013.

The Company’s net cash position* decreased by $174 million during the quarter to $296 million at June 30, 2014. This was mainly due to the Company’s repurchase of its common shares amounting to $97 million, the payment for settlement of antitrust related class actions in the United States of $65 million and a quarterly dividend payment that reduced net cash by $48 million. Gross interest-bearing debt increased by $1,136 million to $1,775 million. This was a result of the U.S. private placement issuance of $1,250 million of long term debt securities and the repayment of notes issued as a part of equity units of $106 million.

During the quarter, total equity decreased by $57 million to $3,943 million due to $97 million from repurchased shares, $50 million for dividends, including dividend paid to non-controlling interest and negative currency effects of $1 million. These negative effects were partially offset by $83 million from net income and $8 million from common stock incentives. Total parent shareholders’ equity was $3,927 million corresponding to $42.32 per share.

During the three month period from April to June 2014, global LVP is estimated by IHS to have increased by over 2% compared to the same quarter in 2013. This was an increase compared to the growth of 1% expected by IHS at the beginning of the quarter.

In China, which accounts for close to 16% of Autoliv’s sales, LVP grew by around 12%, in line with the April estimate.

In Japan, which accounts for around 8% of Autoliv’s sales, LVP grew by 3%, a 6pp improvement compared to the April estimate.

In the RoA, which represents 10% of Autoliv sales, LVP declined by close to 3%, a 2pp decline from the April estimate.

In the Americas, which make up around one third of Autoliv’s sales, LVP declined by close to 3%, an improvement of less than 2pp compared to the April estimate. In North America, LVP increased by close to 4% compared to an increase of more than 2% expected in April. In South America, the decline was 24%, around 2pp less than the decline expected in IHS’s April forecast.

In Europe, where Autoliv currently generates around one third of its sales, LVP grew by 2% compared to the same quarter in 2013, which is close to 3pp better than IHS’s estimate in April. In Western Europe, LVP grew by more than 2%, close to 3pp more than estimated at the beginning of the quarter. In Eastern Europe, LVP grew 1%, 3pp better than the 2% decline estimated at the beginning of the quarter.

Sales of airbag products (including steering wheels and passive safety electronics) were favorably impacted by higher volumes of steering wheels, side airbags, knee airbags and safety electronics.

Sales of seatbelt products were particularly strong in China, Europe and North America. The global trend towards more advanced and higher value-added seatbelt systems continued globally.

The strong increase in sales of active safety products (automotive radars, night vision systems and cameras with driver assist systems) resulted from growth in all areas of this business. Sales of radar related products were particularly strong, largely as a result of Mercedes’ further roll-out of CPA across most of its platforms. Sales of vision systems to BMW and increased Night Vision sales to BMW and Mercedes also contributed.

For the first six months 2014, sales in Europe represent 34% of total sales, Asia (China, Japan, RoA) 33%, and the Americas 33%. Sales continue to be balanced across the regions. Growth in the first six months was balanced with China, Japan and active safety as particularly strong growth areas.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in China grew rapidly. Models from Nissan, VW, Ford and Honda were particularly strong contributors as was Haval’s H6 Sport and Haima’s S5.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in Japan showed strong growth in the first six months. This was based on higher than expected LVP particularly from models with high Autoliv content (since January IHS has increased its full year 2014 forecast for Japan by 8pp), as well as high

Autoliv content on a number of models, primarily from Mitsubishi, Mazda and Toyota.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in the RoA grew slightly, primarily through sales increases with Hyundai/Kia in South Korea and India. The growth was partly offset by declines in other Asian countries due to lower volumes for models from Honda, GM and Ford.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in the Americas were positively impacted by increases in models from Nissan, Chrysler and Toyota.

Sales from Autoliv’s companies in Europe were driven by sales to Mercedes through its continued roll out of CPA across most platforms as well as higher installation rates for blind spot radar. Models from Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo also contributed.

Gross margin declined 0.1pp compared to the same period 2013 mainly as a result of the continued ramp-ups of capacity for growth offsetting the higher sales, currency effects and lower raw material costs.

Operating income decreased by $45 million to $331 million and the operating margin by 1.6pp to 7.1%. This decline in the operating margin was mainly due to the settlements of antitrust related class actions in the United States. Research, Development and Engineering (R, D&E) net, was $18 million higher due to costs for growth and high engineering costs in active safety. The increase was partly offset by higher engineering income.

Excluding costs for capacity alignments and antitrust matters (including settlements of class actions in the United States) the operating margin* was 8.9%, unchanged from the same period one year ago.

Income before taxes decreased by $56 million to $307 million, $10 million more than the decrease in operating income, mainly due to higher interest expense.

Net income attributable to controlling interest amounted to $213 million compared to $262 million for the first six months in 2013. Income tax expense was $93 million compared to $98 million in 2013. The effective tax rate was 30.2% compared to 27.1% for the same six month period last year. Discrete tax items, net, increased the tax rate in 2014 by 0.7pp, compared to 2013 when discrete tax items, net decreased the tax rate by 0.7pp.

EPS amounted to $2.27 assuming dilution compared to $2.73 for 2013. EPS assuming dilution was negatively affected by capacity alignments and legal costs by 53 cents, higher tax rate by 10 cents, and higher interest expense by 7 cents. These negative effects were mainly offset by higher operational income by 23 cents. The adjusted EPS* assuming dilution was $2.88, up from $2.81 for the same period 2013.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming dilution decreased to 93.9 million compared to 95.9 million for the full year 2013.

Q2 Report – 2014   First Six Months

 

Cash flow and Balance Sheet

Operations in the first six months 2014 generated $271 million in cash and $62 million before financing* compared to $333 million and $158 million, respectively, for the same period 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the payment of $65 million for the settlement of the U.S. antitrust class actions in the second quarter of 2014.

Capital expenditures net, amounted to $207 million and depreciation and amortization totaled $151 million compared to $174 million and $139 million, respectively, for the same period 2013.

Autoliv’s net cash position decreased by $215 million, to $296 million due to the common share repurchases of

$192 million, dividends totaling $97 million and the payment of settlement of antitrust related class actions in the U.S. of $65 million. The decrease was partly offset by strong cash flow particularly in the first quarter.

Total equity decreased by $57 million, due to $192 million from repurchased shares, $102 million from dividends, including dividend paid to non-controlling interest and around $1 million from negative currency effects. These unfavorable effects were partially offset by net income of $214 million and common stock incentives of $24 million.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-U.S. GAAP MEASURES TO U.S. GAAP

(Dollars in millions)

In this report we sometimes refer to non-U.S. GAAP measures that we and securities analysts use in measuring Autoliv’s performance. We believe that these measures assist investors and management in analyzing trends in the Company’s business for the reasons given below. Investors should not consider these non-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.

Components in Sales Increase/Decrease

Since the Company generates approximately 75% of sales in currencies other than in the reporting currency (i.e. U.S. dollars) and currency rates have proven to be rather volatile, and due to the fact that the Company has historically made several acquisitions and divestitures, we analyze the Company’s sales trends and performance as changes in organic sales growth. This 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. The tables below present changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in the total U.S. GAAP net sales.

Net (Cash) Debt

As part of efficiently managing the Company’s overall cost of funds, we routinely enter into “debt-related derivatives” (DRD) as part of our debt management. Creditors and credit rating agencies use net debt adjusted for DRD in their analyses of the Company’s debt and therefore we provide this non-U.S. GAAP measure. DRD are fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the underlying debt. Also included in the DRD is the unamortized fair value adjustment related to a discontinued fair value hedge which will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt. By adjusting for DRD, the total financial liability of net debt (cash) is disclosed without grossing debt up with currency or interest fair values.
