Quarterly Dividend

Autoliv's quarterly dividend is increased by 3% to 70 cents per share, from 68 cents, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Assuming today's number of shares outstanding, this equals an annualized total dividend of approximately $220 million.

To holders of record on the close of business on Tuesday, December 3, the dividend will be payable on: Thursday, December 19, 2024 to holders of Autoliv common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Common Stock); and Friday, December 20, 2024 to holders of Autoliv Swedish Depository Receipts listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (SDRs). The ex-date is: Tuesday, December 3, for holders of Common Stock; and Monday, December 2, for holders of SDRs.

Share Repurchase Program Extension

Since 2021, Autoliv has returned over $1.6 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in a challenging market environment. Approximately $950 million of this value has been for the repurchase of 9.5 million shares, representing 11% of our outstanding shares at the time the program began, as part of our current 3-year share repurchase program set to expire at year-end.

With only the current quarter remaining under the current share repurchase program, the Autoliv Board of Directors has now approved an extension of the program until the end of 2025 with no other changes to the authorization. Under the extended repurchase program, up to 7.5 million shares or up to $550 million, whichever comes first, remain authorized for potential repurchase from today through 2025. Autoliv management can initiate repurchases opportunistically at its discretion, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Retirement of Treasury Shares

The Autoliv Board of Directors also approved the retirement this quarter of 2,000,000 shares of common stock that have been held in treasury. The retirement of these shares in December, together with the retirement of shares repurchased in the quarter, will result in the decrease in the issued shares of common stock.
