Sales - Veoneer’s net sales decreased by around 7% to $526 million as compared to 2017. Organic sales declined by 4.7% while sales declined 2.4% due to currency translation effects, mainly related to a stronger US dollar. During the quarter, organic sales developed below our internal expectations mainly due to a deterioration in light vehicle production (LVP) demand in our major markets. Overall, lower than expected sales in Restraint Control Systems, mainly in Asia, and Active Safety in North America and Europe, accounted for most of the shortfall. Restraint Control Systems - Net sales for the quarter of $226 million decreased by 10% as compared to 2017. The organic sales decline of 9% was mainly attributable to the phase out of certain vehicle models, and lower vehicle production in China. | Active Safety - Net sales for the quarter of $201 million increased by 1% as compared to 2017. This improvement was primarily driven by an organic sales increase of 6%. Strong demand for ADAS ECUs and vision systems on several vehicle models, mono vision on the Mini, and night vision to Audi and PSA accounted for most of the organic sales growth. This growth was mitigated by an unfavorable production model mix with certain customers in Western Europe and North America. Brake Systems - Net sales of $100 million for the quarter decreased by approximately 15% as compared to 2017. This sales decline is mainly due to an organic sales decline of 14%, primarily due to lower delivery volumes on certain vehicle models, mainly the Honda Accord, and production disruptions due to flooding near certain customer factories in Mexico. |
Gross Profit - The gross profit for the quarter of $99 million was $10 million lower as compared to 2017. The volume and product mix impact from lower organic sales was the main contributor. Net currency effects were negligible. Operating Loss - This quarter represents the first quarter with a standalone cost structure for the company. The operating loss for the quarter of $58 million increased by $42 million as compared to 2017. The planned increase in RD&E investments of $19 million, mainly related to the hiring of engineers to support customer projects for future sales growth and current development programs, in addition to higher SG&A of $16 million, mostly related to the additional costs associated with being a standalone listed company, accounted for most of the change as compared to 2017. These figures include a positive net currency effect of around $3 million for the quarter. The combined effect of the amortization of intangibles and other income was $2 million favorable as compared to 2017. | Net Loss - The net loss for the quarter of $72 million increased by $36 million as compared to 2017. In addition to the increased operating loss, Veoneer’s net loss from the Zenuity JV increased by $5 million to $15 million during the quarter as compared to 2017. This is mostly due to a higher cost run-rate related to the hiring of additional software engineers over the last 12 months bringing Zenuity’s total to around 600 employees and consultants. This was partially offset by higher net interest income of around $3 million. Income tax for the quarter was $3 million as compared to $10 million in 2017. The lower tax expense was primarily impacted by a reduction in the pre-tax earnings of our profitable subsidiaries. Lastly, the non-controlling interest loss in Veoneer Nissin Brake Systems (VNBS) was $5 million for the quarter as compared to $3 million in 2017. Loss per Share - The loss per share increased to $0.78 for the quarter as compared to a loss of $0.38 per share in 2017 due to the increased net loss, as the share count was virtually unchanged. |
Net cash used in operating activities - Net cash used in operating activities of $17 million during the quarter was at approximately the same level as compared to 2017 mainly due to positive timing related to working capital items which essentially offset the higher net loss. Net cash used in investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities of $58 million during the quarter was $40 million higher as compared to 2017. The increase in capital expenditures of $32 million was the main driver. Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents of $919 million and short-term investments of $5 million at the end of the quarter, in combination declined by $56 million as compared to the prior quarter in 2018. | Net Working Capital - The net working capital* of $99 million at the end of the quarter was a decrease of $36 million as compared to the prior quarter in 2018. The decrease was mainly due to timing effects in working capital. Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures of $52 million for the quarter increased by $32 million as compared to 2017. This level was approximately 10% of sales and is slightly higher than our full year 2018 expectation of high single digits as a percentage of sales. Shareholders Equity - Shareholders equity, excluding non-controlling interest, for the quarter of $1,936 million includes the cash liquidity provided from Autoliv immediately prior to the spin-off. |

Sales - The net sales in the Electronics segment decreased by $23 million to $426 million for the quarter as compared to 2017. This decline was mainly attributable to the organic sales decline in Restraint Control Systems of $22 million. The organic sales growth in Active Safety of $12 million was essentially offset by currency translation effects mainly related to the Euro versus the US dollar. Operating Loss - The operating loss for the Electronics segment increased to $36 million for the quarter from $4 million as compared to 2017 mainly due to the volume and product mix impact from lower organic sales and the increase in RD&E cost to support future organic sales growth and current development programs. | EBITDA - The EBITDA* for the Electronics segment decreased by $31 million to negative $18 million for the quarter as compared to 2017. This decline is mainly due to the increased operating loss. Associates - The number of associates in the Electronics segment increased by 1,256 to 6,804 as compared to 2017. This increase is primarily due to the hiring of engineers to support a strong order intake for both Active Safety and Restraint Control Systems. |

Sales - The net sales decreased by $18 million to $100 million in the Brake Systems segment for the quarter as compared to 2017. This sales decline was mainly attributable to lower delivery volumes on certain Honda vehicle models, particularly in North America and production disruptions due to flooding near certain customer factories in Mexico. Operating Loss - The operating loss for the Brake Systems segment increased to $9 million from $6 million as compared to 2017 mainly due to the volume and product mix impact from lower organic sales and a slight increase in RD&E net to support future organic sales growth which was partially offset by reductions in overhead costs. | EBITDA - During the quarter EBITDA was a break-even for the Brake Systems segment as compared to a positive $4 million in 2017. This was mainly due to the increase in operating loss of $3 million. Associates - The number of associates in the Brake Systems segment declined by 109 to 1,467 as compared to 2017 primarily due to overhead reductions related to the Honda sales decline. |

Sales - Net sales for the first nine months of 2018 decreased by $37 million to $1,692 million as compared to 2017. The organic sales decline of 4.4% was partially offset by positive currency translation effects of 2.3%, mainly due to a weaker US dollar. The sales decline in Restraint Control Systems and Brake Systems, was partially offset by Active Safety organic sales growth. We expect the sales trend in these two product areas to rebound during the latter part of 2019 and into 2020 based on business awarded during 2016 and 2017. Restraint Control Systems - Net sales of $739 million for the first nine months of 2018 decreased by 6% as compared to 2017. The organic sales decline of 10% was mainly driven by the phase-out of certain models. | Active Safety - Net sales of $628 million for the first nine months of 2018 increased by 8% as compared to 2017. This increase was driven by an increase in organic sales of 7%. Strong demand for vision systems, ADAS ECUs and radar products on multiple models accounted for most of the organic sales growth together with night vision systems to PSA and Audi. This strong growth was partially offset by the continued ramp-down of current GPS business with Ford and an underlying weaker LVP environment. Brake Systems - Net sales of $325 million for the first nine months of 2018 decreased by approximately 10% as compared to 2017, mainly due to an organic sales decline of around 12%, mostly due to lower volumes on certain Honda vehicle models, primarily in North America. |
Gross Profit - The gross profit of $321 million for the first nine months of 2018 was $20 million lower as compared to 2017. The volume and product mix impact from lower organic sales was partially offset by net currency effects of around $14 million. Operating Loss - The operating loss of $122 million for the first nine months of 2018 increased by $83 million as compared to 2017, including a net favorable currency benefit of $6 million. The planned increase in RD&E investments of $54 million, mainly related to the increase in engineers for future sales growth and current development programs, as well as $29 million higher SG&A, mainly resulting from the additional costs associated with being a standalone public company, accounted for most of the change as compared to 2017. These effects were partially offset by a decrease of $14 million in the amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, where prior year amortizations were the result of an impairment charge in 2017 and a $5 million increase in other income, as compared to 2017. | Net Loss - The net loss for the first nine months of 2018 of $175 million was $87 million more as compared to 2017. In addition to the operating loss impact, the Veoneer net loss from the Zenuity JV increased by $28 million for the first nine months of 2018 due to an increase in the net cost run-rate related to the hiring of software engineers and an additional quarter of cost in 2018, since the JV was formed in April 2017. Interest income increased by $3 million as compared to 2017. Income tax for the first nine months of 2018 was $12 million as compared to $32 million in 2017. The tax expense was primarily impacted by a reduction in the pre-tax earnings of our profitable subsidiaries. The non-controlling interest loss in the VNBS JV was $13 million for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to $7 million loss in 2017. Loss per Share - The loss per share for the first nine months of 2018 increased to $1.86 as compared to a loss of $0.93 per share in 2017 due to the increased net loss, as the share count was virtually unchanged. |
Net cash used in operating activities - Net cash used in operating activities of $181 million for the first nine months of 2018 increased by $131 million as compared to 2017 due to the change in net loss and timing of changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities - Net cash used in investing activities of $120 million for the first nine months of 2018 was $62 million lower as compared to 2017, mainly due to higher capital expenditures, which was more than offset by lower affiliate investments and related party notes receivable. | Net Working Capital - The net working capital of $99 million at the end of the quarter was an increase of $41 million since December 31, 2017. This increase was mainly due to timing effects in working capital. Capital Expenditures - Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2018 of $123 million was around 7% of sales and $53 million more as compared to 2017. This level as a percentage of sales is slightly lower than the expectation for the full year 2018. |

Sales - The net sales of $325 million in the Brake Systems segment for the first nine months of 2018 decreased by $38 million as compared to 2017. The decline was mainly attributable to lower volumes on certain Honda models, primarily in North America which was partially offset by higher volumes in Japan. Operating Loss - The operating loss in the Brake Systems segment increased by $12 million to $23 million in the first nine months of 2018 as compared to 2017. This is mainly due to the volume and product mix impact from lower organic sales and slight increase in RD&E costs to support sales growth which was partially offset by reduced overhead costs. | EBITDA - For the first nine months of 2018, the Brake Systems segment EBITDA of $6 million declined by $13 million as compared to 2017. The increased operating loss accounted for most of the decline. Associates - The number of associates in the Brake Systems segment declined by 120 since December 31, 2017 to 1,467 mainly due to the reductions in direct manufacturing as well as production overhead and SG&A due to the decline in organic sales. |

Operating Loss and EBITDA - The operating loss and EBITDA for Corporate and other for the first nine months increased to negative $34 million from negative $17 million as compared to 2017 mainly resulting from the additional costs associated with being a standalone listed company. | Associates - The number of associates in Corporate and other increased to 39 from the previous quarter in 2018. The associate and financial figures are not comparable since the 2017 financials are based on carve-out basis accounting rules. |
2018 Outlook - Our full year 2018 consolidated net sales are expected to be lower than our previous indication due to declining LVP in our major markets and the continued strengthening of the US dollar during the second half of 2018. Consequently, we are reducing our sales indication for full year 2018 to an organic sales decline of around 5% as compared to 2017, rather than a decline of around 3% in our earlier indication. In addition, the currency translation tailwind is reduced to 1% for the full year 2018 rather than around 3%. Net consolidated sales are now expected to decline 4% for full year 2018 as compared to 2017, rather than flat sales year over year. Based on our current levels of customer call-offs and deliveries we expect fourth quarter sales to remain roughly at the same levels as third quarter and RD&E to increase around $20 million from the third quarter due to hiring 370 engineers. Our earlier indications for Zenuity, capital expenditures and income tax expense remain unchanged. The monthly run-rate of Veoneer’s share of the net loss from the Zenuity JV is around $15 million per quarter. Veoneer capital expenditures are expected to be in the high single digits as a percentage of sales while income tax expense is expected to be around the low end of our range of $20 to $30 million for full year 2018. Targets - We currently see some delays in the start of production and slower ramp-ups of certain customer models along with some slight delays in expected business wins. | These developments mean that we see some downside risk and are likely to reach our $3 billion total sales target for 2020 slightly later than previously anticipated, although Active Safety remains on track to exceed $1 billion in sales in 2020. Based on the attractiveness of our Active Safety portfolio, strong customer relationships and continued strong order intake, we see a potential upside to our $4 billion 2022 total sales target, particularly the $2 billion Active Safety target. While these signs are encouraging, we note that order intake can deviate significantly from quarter to quarter making the exact timing of the future sales growth difficult to forecast. We intend to increase our investments in RD&E to account for the increase in engineering demands resulting from our high order intake, and the advanced nature of the system business we have already won and continue to pursue, and our need to invest further for long-term leadership in Active Safety toward Autonomous Driving continue to grow. This means that we now anticipate reaching our 0-5% operating income target one to two years later than previously communicated. We expect our net cash to cover most of our funding requirements until the Company reaches a positive cash flow. However, additional funding may be required if we increase our order intake, or if the underlying business conditions change, or if we make acquisitions, or if we increase capital expenditures. If we generate more cash flow than expected, we may use this cash flow for capital investment, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. |
