Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
Investing.com -- Autoliv (NYSE:ALV) reported second-quarter earnings and revenue that beat analyst expectations and lifted its organic sales growth guidance for the full year.
The Swedish automotive safety supplier posted Q2 earnings per share (EPS) of $2.16, surpassing the consensus estimate of $2.02. Revenue for the period rose 4.2% to $2.71 billion, also ahead of expectations for $2.6 billion.
Organic sales increased 3.4% in the quarter, while the adjusted operating margin came in at 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.
"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 added.
For the full year 2025, the company increased its organic sales growth target to 3% and reiterated its adjusted operating margin outlook in the range of 10% to 10.5%.
It expects the impact of foreign exchange on net sales to be roughly neutral and projects operating cash flow of about $1.2 billion.
