Financial Report July - September 2026
Autoliv reported Q3 2026 net sales of $2,693 million, down 0.5% year-over-year with a 1.1% organic decline, though outperformance in Asia (India up ~30%, Chinese OEM sales up more than 20%) beat global LVP by roughly 1pp. Diluted EPS fell 6.8% to $2.13, with operating margin at 9.4% and adjusted operating margin at 9.7%; the decline was partly due to a supplier settlement benefit in Q3 2025 and rising cost headwinds from raw materials, logistics, and Thailand flooding. Management narrowed full-year adjusted operating margin guidance to around 10.5%, the low end of its prior ~10.5-11% range, while reaffirming around 0% organic growth and ~$1.2 billion operating cash flow.
