Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 17, 2015, Autoliv, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter of 2015. 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,” “operating margin (excluding certain costs),” “operating working capital,” “adjusted EPS,” “net debt (cash)” and “leverage ratio,” 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, 2014, filed with SEC on February 19, 2015.
