Autoliv, Inc. delivered strong financial results for the first quarter of 2025, reporting a 2.3 percentage point increase in adjusted operating margin to 9.9% and a 37% increase in adjusted diluted EPS to $2.15. Net sales for the quarter were $2,578 million, a 1.4% decrease year-over-year, but organic sales grew by 2.2%.
The company successfully navigated the initial month of North American tariffs, achieving customer compensation agreements for increased costs related to inflation and tariffs. Operational efficiency improvements, including continued structural cost reduction programs and a significant reduction in direct headcount, contributed to the strong profitability.
Autoliv reiterated its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting organic sales growth of around 2%, an adjusted operating margin of 10-10.5%, and operating cash flow of approximately $1.2 billion. The company's strong first-quarter performance and encouraging near-term call-off indications provide confidence in achieving these targets despite geopolitical and business environment uncertainties.
