Autoliv (NYSE:ALV), the global leader in automotive safety systems, reported better-than-expected second-quarter results on both earnings and revenue, and raised its full-year outlook for organic sales growth.
The Swedish company delivered earnings per share (EPS) of $2.16 for the second quarter, beating the analyst consensus of $2.02. Revenue rose by 4.2% year-over-year to $2.71 billion, exceeding forecasts of $2.6 billion.
Organic sales saw a 3.4% increase during the quarter, and the company’s adjusted operating margin reached 9.3%.
“I am pleased to, in a turbulent market environment, report a record breaking second quarter for sales, operating income and margin as well as EPS,” said Mikael Bratt, President and CEO of Autoliv.
Bratt also addressed the ongoing challenges related to trade duties. “We remain confident that we can continue to successfully receive compensation from our customers for tariffs, although the industry outlook for tariffs is uncertain. We recovered around 80% of tariff costs in the second quarter, and we expect to recover most of what remains later in the year,” he noted.
Looking ahead to the full year 2025, Autoliv increased its forecast for organic sales growth to 3%. The company also reaffirmed its target for an adjusted operating margin between 10% and 10.5%.
The impact of currency fluctuations on net sales is expected to be broadly neutral, while operating cash flow is projected to total approximately $1.2 billion.
