Autoliv, Inc. Gradually Discontinues Manufacturing Operations in Türkiye Autoliv, Inc. continued its strategy to align production capacity with future EMEA market requirements. As part of this strategy, Autoliv will gradually discontinue its manufacturing operations in Türkiye. The automotive industry is experiencing structural shifts and unprecedented transformation on a global scale. Evolving market dynamics require ongoing evaluation and optimization of manufacturing footprint to ensure long-term competitiveness and operational sustainability. Following a comprehensive and careful assessment of its regional operations, Autoliv has decided to implement capacity alignments within the EMEA region. Management has determined that manufacturing capacity in the EMEA region exceeds future demand. As part of its capacity alignment, Autoliv will gradually discontinue its manufacturing operations in Türkiye, which includes production of steering wheels, airbags, and seatbelts. This is expected to affect approximately 2,200 employees. Production in Türkiye will be moved to Autoliv's other existing facilities in the EMEA region, with the complete closure of manufacturing operations in Türkiye anticipated in the first half of 2028. Autoliv expects to incur a final pre-tax charge of approximately $142 million for this capacity alignment. The majority of this charge is expected to be recorded in the second quarter of 2026. A non-cash charge of $13 million is anticipated from fixed asset and inventory write-offs. Cash charges of approximately $129 million are primarily for severance and employee retention costs and immaterial amounts for environmental related expenses, equipment decommissioning, and contractual releases. Severance and employee retention costs are calculated using a weighted-average, projected foreign exchange rate of 53 Turkish Lira per dollar. Autoliv will maintain a sharp focus on supporting its customers and will retain customer-facing operations in Türkiye. Autoliv remains dedicated to meeting its established standards for reliably delivering high-quality safety systems and conducting its activities in accordance with Autoliv's global standards for safety, integrity and operational excellence.

By expanding into new areas such as motorcycle rider protection, Autoliv demonstrates its commitment to innovation and market diversification. The collaboration between Autoliv and RS Taichi represents an important step in introducing advanced motorcycle rider protection to the market. Along with the recently announced launch of the airbag for the Yamaha Tricity 300 commuter scooter, both initiatives reinforce Autoliv's strategic agenda and support its vision of Saving More Lives. While Autoliv has previously supplied individual components for airbag vests, this new airbag system, featured in the new RS Taichi Airbag Vest T-SABE, represents Autoliv's first fully developed wearable protection that has been engineered from initial concept through complete system validation.

Adient and Autoliv Unveil Breakthrough in Dynamic Seat Safety Solutions Adient and Autoliv have co-developed innovative safety solutions that significantly enhance occupant protection in deeply reclined seating positions - commonly referred to as zero-gravity. These solutions, now ready for mass production, combine Adient's new seating concept, Z-Guard, with Autoliv's advanced safety technologies. As electrification and smart technologies continue to reshape the automotive industry, zero-gravity seating is gaining popularity in mid- to high-end vehicle models due to its ergonomic benefits. However, the deeply reclined posture can compromise the effectiveness of conventional safety systems, which are typically designed for standard upright seating, potentially leading to safety risks. To address this challenge, Adient and Autoliv have jointly developed a safety solution that represents a major advancement in occupant protection in deeply reclined seats positions. Multi-Dimensional Collaborative Protection: Full-Process Dynamic Safety System. Adient's Z-Guard is built around the principle of Multi-Dimensional Collaborative protection, integrating advanced constraint and energy-absorbing technologies into a dynamic safety system designed to protect occupants in the event of a collision. At its core are two key innovations: Active Cushion Collapse Mechanism: In a crash, this feature rapidly collapses the seat frame to absorb energy and adjust posture, thereby reducing spinal impact and providing protection to vital body regions. Adjustable Seat Belt Outlet: This feature adapts to various passenger postures and body types, enhancing comfort while maximizing precise restraint and minimizing risks like shoulder slippage. Complementing these innovations are additional technologies from Autoliv: the Integrated Seatbelt System for improved stability, Dynamic Lumbar Retractor for controlled restraint force, Pelvic Cushion Airbag to reduce pelvic impact, and Head Side Airbag for enhanced side collision protection in reclined positions. Together, these systems help safeguard critical areas - head, neck, chest, and pelvis - delivering truly dynamic, full-process occupant protection. Proactive Predictive Protection: Building an Intelligent Safety Shelter: The Z-Guard concept enables deep integration with vehicle driver assistance systems, tailored to OEM requirements and real-world scenarios. Leveraging predictive signals, it utilizes high-speed, motor-driven seat repositioning to adjust the occupant's posture before a collision to reduce the risk of injury. In cases where a vehicle cannot detect a crash in time or lacks active repositioning capabilities, Z-Guard still provides robust protection through dual pretensioners, cushion buffering and a collapse mechanism. These systems work in concert to prevent forward movement and submarinesining, enhancing reliable safety even in zero-gravity seating positions. toward Mass Production: Reshaping Industry Standards Together The new seating concept is designed to meet the evolving demands of cockpit electronic architecture in the era of software-defined vehicles, seamlessly integrating safety features into the smart cockpit environment. With Adient leading the commercialization, Z-Guard is now scheduled for production in a high-volume model from a major global OEM - marking a significant milestone in bringing advanced occupant protection to market.

Autoliv, Inc. Intends to Reduce Headcount in France Autoliv, Inc. announced its intention to reduce its headcount in France as part of the previously announced initiatives to reduce its global headcount and to optimize its footprint. Today's announcement is the final major communication related to the indirect headcount reduction initiative that was announced in June. Aligned with previous communications, Autoliv continues to adapt and reduce its total workforce and to simplify its logistics and geographic footprint. These actions will significantly strengthen the company's competitive position long-term, adapting it to a substantially lower level of light vehicle production in post-pandemic Europe. Intended headcount reduction in France; Today, Autoliv announced its intention to reduce its workforce in France by about 20% or approximately 320 employees at its major plants in France. The company aims to initiate these reductions in the first half of 2024 and they are expected to be fully implemented by the end of 2025. The reduction is expected to affect 220 indirect employees mainly in production overhead but also within R,D&E and S,G&A. Additionally, as part of the footprint optimization, Autoliv intends to relocate its steering wheel manufacturing in France to other plants, affecting approximately 100 direct employees. Specific measures will be defined in compliance with the local regulations and within the framework of a dialogue with elected representatives and the social partners to determine the most appropriate provisions for the employees concerned. These actions in France are expected to generate savings of around $10 million in 2024, reaching around $20 million in 2025 and around $25 million in 2026 when fully implemented. The related costs for the headcount reduction will be accrued this quarter. This will not impact the company's adjusted operating margin for the fourth quarter or the full year 2023. With this announcement, the total announced reductions of direct headcount are around 400 and more than 1,300 for indirect headcount. Total expected annual cost savings from these announcements amount to around $45 million in 2024, reaching $85 million in 2025, and $110 million when fully implemented. Announcement • Oct 05

Autoliv, Inc. Announces Its First Steps in Adjusting Its Geographic Footprint and Aims to Close Its Sites in Elmshorn, Germany and Congleton, United Kingdom Autoliv, Inc. announced its first steps in adjusting its geographic footprint and aims to close its sites in Elmshorn, Germany and Congleton, United Kingdom. Autoliv is accelerating its global structural cost reductions, particularly within its European operations. These initiatives will simplify its logistics and geographic footprint and significantly lower its cost base. As previously announced, Autoliv intends to reduce its total workforce by up to 11%. Closure of Autoliv facility in Elmshorn, Germany. Autoliv aims to close its Elmshorn site in northern Germany and consolidate the technical center and most of its customer facing activities to its existing facility in Dachau, Germany by early 2025. The change would affect more than 500 employees working in Elmshorn. Specific measures will be defined in compliance with the local regulations and within the framework of a dialogue with elected representatives and the social partners to determine the most appropriate provisions for the employees concerned. Closure of Autoliv facility in Congleton, United Kingdom; Autoliv is evaluating a possible closure of its textile weaving facility for curtain airbags in the United Kingdom. Collective consultation with elected representatives has begun regarding the potential closure. A closure of the facility would affect around 250 employees working in the United Kingdom today, with the aim to relocate production by the end of 2025. Specific measures will be defined in compliance with the local regulations and within the framework of a dialogue with the social partners to determine the most appropriate provisions for the employees concerned. Structural Cost Reduction Accrual; Autoliv expects around $105 million to be accrued in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the planned reduction of around 1,100 employees in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and in Italy where Autoliv is closing its sales office. These actions should not impact the Company's adjusted operating margin for the second quarter or the full year 2023 as the Company considers these geographic footprint optimization and structural cost reductions non-recurring costs related to capacity alignment program. Additional non-recurring charges are expected in future quarters as plans materialize. Announcement • Jun 13

Autoliv, Inc. Unveils Revolutionary Passenger Airbag Based on the Bernoulli Principle Autoliv, Inc. unveiled a patented revolutionary new passenger airbag module that is based on Bernoulli's Principle and can inflate larger airbags more efficiently as well as reduce development time and cost. The Bernoulli Airbag will be commercialized during the third quarter and on display at the Autoliv Investor Day in Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA. The new Autoliv airbag module is based on Swiss mathematical and physicist Daniel Bernoulli's fundamental principles of fluid dynamics that explain many phenomena such as how airplanes fly. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure. Using this principle, Autoliv can leverage pressure differences to add a significant contribution of surrounding air to the inflation of an airbag. For the Bernoulli Airbag, the inflator will receive the signal that a crash has begun, and it will propel high pressure gases at supersonic speed through multiple inlet tubes. As the gases flow through the tubes, it will suck the surrounding ambient air into the chamber with the gases, creating aspiration, and will inflate a much larger airbag with an even smaller inflator than required. Airbags are an important safety feature in cars and can reduce the risk of death and serious injury in a crash. They work by inflating very quickly to create a cushion between the occupant and the vehicle. Airbag systems help to reduce the severity of injuries caused by impact. Announcement • Jun 02
Autoliv, Inc. to Launch its First Motorcycle Airbag in 2025 Autoliv, Inc. is pioneering improved safety for 200 m million road users through its holistic approach to motorcycle and scooter safety. The first new motorcycle safety product to reach the market will be the bag -on-bike airbag, with production beginning in First Quarter 2025. The bag-on-bike airbag can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury for powered two-wheeler riders in frontal crashes. The number of powered two-wheelers continues to rise, due to widespread urbanization and the practicality of powered two-wheelers. Today, many scooters and motorcycles are equipped with advanced safety systems, such as ABS (Antilock Braking System) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation), and the addition of airbags will be a further step in this direction. Powered two-wheeler riders have not benefited to the same extent as car occupants from the many developments in vehicle safety. Autoliv's extensive research into powered two-wheeler riding behavior and crashes has resulted in two sets of solutions - on-vehicle safety solutions and on-rider safety solutions. The first product to reach the market will been the bag-on-bike air bag, which is planned to go into production with the first customer in 2025. The safety of motorcycle riders is the focus of many regulators and consumer crash test organizations. Euro NCAP is targeting enhanced motorcycle rider safety by expanding vehicle crash avoidance testing to include powered two-wheeler crash scenarios. In Asia, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) indicates that the rating of on-vehicle safety solutions will be adopted in 2024 in their Malaysian Motorcycle Assessment Program (MyMAP).
