In the second quarter, ALV reported a revenue of $2.71 billion, surpassing the expected $2.6 billion. This marks a record-breaking quarter in terms of sales, operating income, margins, and earnings per share (EPS). The robust performance was attributed to strong sales growth and effective cost management, alongside successful strategies to offset tariffs. ALV achieved notable successes in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, excluding China, continuing to outperform the global Light Vehicle Production (LVP) despite facing challenges from LVP mix shifts, especially in China. With the positive trends observed in the quarter and a significant number of new product launches, the company forecasts a substantial improvement in sales compared to LVP in China during the latter half of the year.
