MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-07-17
Through focused execution, we maintained the positive momentum from the first quarter. Globally, our sales grew organically more than 1pp faster than global LVP, outgrowing LVP significantly in Asia. Our sales to Chinese OEMs grew by more than 40%, and Chinese OEMs accounted for 55% of our sales in …
Well executed cost reduction activities supported a continued improvement of underlying profitability, with adjusted operating margin (Non-GAAP measure, see reconciliation table below) increasing to 9.6%.
We are pleased that our cash flow improved in line with our expectations, resulting in record operating cash flow for a second quarter, and supporting our ambitious shareholder return strategy. Our leverage ratio (Non-GAAP measure, see reconciliation table below) improved to 1.2x, despite repurchasi…
In line with our ambition to ensure long-term competitiveness and align production capacity with market demand, we continue to optimize our footprint. In the quarter, we announced that we will discontinue manufacturing operations in Türkiye.
We continued to manage geopolitical developments successfully in the quarter, limiting the effects of tariffs, supply chain challenges and raw material price increases.

The first quarter turned out better than we had anticipated, with strong sales in March. Our operational performance exceeded our expectations, with solid productivity improvements, partly supported by reduced call-off volatility. Underlying profitability improved, with gross profit increasing by 10…
Our positive trend in Asia continued, with strong growth in India, South Korea and China. In China, we continued to grow faster than LVP, especially with the Chinese OEMs, outperforming by 40pp. In India, we grew sales organically (Non-GAAP measure, see reconciliation table below) by 38%, reflecting…
We are pleased that we in the quarter introduced our first airbag for motorcycles, as well as our first wearable airbag solution for motorcycle riders, building on our long term strategy of growing business outside our traditional core business.
The quarter was characterized by ongoing and new geopolitical challenges. At this point, it is difficult to fully assess the likely impacts, as the situation remains fluid. We continue to carefully monitor the developments while preparing for various scenarios, including different mitigation strateg…
The business environment is uncertain but our current best estimate for the remainder of the year is a re-iteration of our full year 2026 guidance of about unchanged organic sales (Non-GAAP measure) and an adjusted operating margin (Non-GAAP measure) of around 10.5-11%. This is based on the assumpti…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
