ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Whereas the data provided under Item 1 in the Consolidated Statement of
Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows reflect the results of Autoliv, Inc. for all periods subsequent to
April 30, 1997 and for Autoliv AB for all periods prior to May 1, 1997,
the analysis provided below is based on actual results of Autoliv, Inc.
for all periods subsequent to April 30, 1997 and pro forma results of
Autoliv, Inc. for all periods prior to May 1, 1997.
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 (ACTUAL) COMPARED WITH THREE AND
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 (PROFORMA)
Autoliv, Inc. reported a 3 percent increase in sales to $878 million for
the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, and a 4 percent improvement
in earnings per share to $0.50, despite lower vehicle production,
continued severe pricing pressure on airbags and the strike at General
Motors.
Posted consolidated net sales for the second quarter 1998 rose by 3% to
$878 million from $850 million for the corresponding quarter 1997. The
underlying sales increase (i.e. excluding currency effects and acquisitions)
was also 3%. The strike at General Motors is estimated to have negatively
affected Autoliv's sales growth by about one percentage point.
The production of light vehicles is estimated to have grown by 3% in Europe,
while that production in North America and Japan is estimated to have fallen
by 6% and 17%, respectively. The average decline for the three regions
therefore exceeded 5%.
Autoliv's sales of airbag products (incl. steering wheels) amounted to
$600 million. Both posted sales and sales adjusted for currency effects and
corporate acquisitions declined by 1%. The pricing pressure has continued to
be severe, especially in the U.S. Unit sales have, however, continued to
grow sharply, particularly for passenger and side-impact airbags. The number
of customers for Autoliv's side-impact protection systems have increased to
21 vehicle manufacturers and the number of programs to more than 70 car
models.
Posted sales of seat belt products (incl. seat sub-systems) grew by 15% to
$278 million, while sales excluding currency effects and acquisitions grew
by 14%. The significant increase is mainly due to new products. The latest
pretensioner generation introduced last year has, for instance, made it
possible not only to increase sales of this innovative feature but also to
win sales for complete belt systems where the new pretensioner is an integra-
ted part of the retactor.
Net sales for the six-month period rose by 2% to $1,716 million over the
corresponding period 1997. Adjusted for currency effects and corporate
acquisitions, sales grew by 3%. Posted sales for airbags declined by 2% and
underlying sales by 1%. Posted sales for seat belt grew by 12% while the
growth excluding currency effects and acquisitions was 14%.
The Company's net income increased by 4% to $51 million as a result of
higher sales and better gross margin. This margin improved from 21.7% to
22.0% thanks to corporate acquisitions, higher vertical integration,
reduced material costs and productivity improvements. Selling, general and
administrative expense has also been kept unchanged. The R&D expense has,
however, increased by 19% to take advantage of Autoliv's many business
opportunities, not least in new areas such as pre- and post-crash systems.
The increase is also the effect of the consolidation of new companies. The
operating margin was, however, maintained at about 10.6%.
For the six-month period ended June 30 net income and earnings per share
declined by 10% to $93 million and $0.91, respectively, due to the decline
in the first quarter.
The effective tax rate was 40%, both for the quarter and the six-month
period, compared to 41% for the corresponding quarter and six-month period
1997. Excluding non-deductible amortization, the tax rate was 36%.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
Cash generated by operations during the quarter amounted to $97 million,
after an increase in working capital of $7 million to $52 million. Of the
cash, $68 million was used for capital expenditures and $7 million for
acquisitions of businesses, compared to $48 million and $4 million, respec-
tively, during the second quarter 1997. Major capital expenditures were
used for increased capacity in initiators, inflators and airbag cushions,
and for the construction of a plant in Brazil and a steering wheel plant in
North America.
Net debt decreased by $3 million to $653 million during the quarter and
increased during the six-month period by $7 million. At the end of the
quarter, net debt to total equity stood at 37% compared to 38% at the
beginning of the year.
