Autoliv Capital Markets Day –sustainable increase in shareholder returns with increased dividend and new stock repurchase program
(Stockholm, Sweden, June 4, 2025) – Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, hosts a Capital Markets Day (CMD) today. Members of Autoliv management will outline the Company’s strategy, growth opportunities, and targets as well as provide an update on its shareholder return strategy.
Since our Investor Day in June 2023, Autoliv has taken decisive actions to address external challenges, including a prolonged period of inflationary pressure, geopolitical tensions and tariffs, and shifts in the light vehicle production market mix.
“We continue to optimize our operations by building an even more effective and cost-efficient structure, enabling us to better serve our customers and further strengthen our competitive position by being customer-centric,” said Mikael Bratt, President and CEO of Autoliv. “At the CMD, we will demonstrate how we are well positioned to manage near and medium-term external challenges and how we can turn these challenges into opportunities by building on our leading positions in key areas. The Autoliv Way includes supporting all drive trains, having the broadest customer portfolio of traditional and new OEMs, and leveraging a robust industrial and engineering footprint with regionalized manufacturing and sourcing. Our leadership in technology and quality should position us well to navigate the ongoing fundamental changes in the automotive and global industrial landscapes.”
Sustainable Increase in Shareholder Returns
At the CMD, Autoliv will outline its plan to deliver on its targets for profitability, growth, capital efficiency, and sustainability. The execution of Autoliv’s strategic plan is expected to deliver strong cash flow generation, providing for significant shareholder value creation, while maintaining financial leverage commensurate with a strong investment grade credit rating.
The Autoliv shareholder return strategy includes:
The Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program of up to $2.5 billion effective July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029 and terminated any remaining amounts under the previous 2022-2025 stock repurchase program. Management is authorized to execute under this new repurchase program at its discretion up to the authorization limit.
The Board of Directors also increased the dividend for the third quarter 2025 to $0.85 per share. This is an increase of $0.15, or 21%, from the second quarter dividend, and 24% higher than the average quarterly dividend in 2024. The details of the third quarter dividend may be found in a separate press release issued today.
Our new shareholder return strategy is grounded in Autoliv’s leadership position, which we believe enables us to effectively manage the risks associated with ongoing automotive industry challenges while capitalizing on the opportunities they present.
