"I would like to express my gratitude for all the hard work put in by colleagues and supply chain partners and to our customers across the world for a successful 2024."
2024 was a year of normalizing market demand as freight and construction activity came down in many regions after a couple of years of very strong growth. It was also a year of continued geopolitical turmoil and cost inflation. In these challenging circumstances the Volvo Group continued to show resilience in earnings on lower volumes while driving industry-leading innovations.
For the full year 2024, net sales amounted to SEK 526.8 billion (552.3) and the adjusted operating income to SEK 65.7 billion (78.2), with an adjusted operating margin of 12.5% (14.0). Return on capital employed in the Industrial Operations was strong at 35.8% (36.7). We also generated a strong operating cash flow of SEK 45.3 billion (45.8) with a record fourth quarter. We ended the year with a net cash position of SEK 85.9 billion in the Industrial Operations, pension and lease liabilities excluded. Thanks to our strong finances, we can both provide a good return to our shareholders and invest in the products and solutions strengthening our future competitiveness. The Board of Directors proposes an ordinary dividend of SEK 8.00 per share and an extra dividend of SEK 10.50 per share.
In Q4, net sales decreased by 6% when adjusted for currency and amounted to SEK 138.4 billion, with sales of vehicles being 7% lower than in 2023 and sales of services being on par with the previous year. We generated good profits on the lower sales volumes with an adjusted operating income of SEK 14.0 billion (18.5) and an adjusted operating margin of 10.1% (12.4).
In Q4, deliveries of new trucks decreased by 11% compared with the prior year and amounted to 58,706 trucks, with a strong development in South America, flat in North America and lower deliveries in Europe. Currency-adjusted net sales in our truck business declined by 4% to SEK 95.5 billion. The adjusted operating margin amounted to 10.6% (13.7) impacted by the lower volumes, our continued investments in the transformation and extra costs in North America connected to supply chain issues as well as the changeover to the new Volvo VNL truck platform. The situation in North America is gradually improving. Order intake on the other hand increased by 24% to 61,200 vehicles, mainly driven by larger fleets in Eastern Europe and demand for vocational trucks in the US. The new Volvo FH Aero has been very well received and supports the order intake in Europe.
Construction Equipment's net sales of SEK 22.2 billion were 17% lower than in the previous year when adjusted for currency. Deliveries decreased by 5% impacted by lower volumes in Europe and North America. The adjusted operating margin amounted to 11.8% (12.5) affected by a negative market and product mix. After a long period of decreasing order intake, Q4 was a turnaround with a total net order intake that increased by 19%, with all regions contributing.
Net sales in Buses declined by 10% adjusted for currency and
amounted to SEK 6.6 billion, but the adjusted operating margin improved to 10.4% (4.4) supported by a positive price development, a favorable mix and lower manufacturing costs thanks to the restructured business model in Europe.
Volvo Penta's currency-adjusted net sales decreased by 5% to SEK 4.8 billion, while the adjusted operating margin increased to 12.2% (7.3) driven by a positive product and market mix as well as price realization.
For Volvo Financial Services, the credit portfolio continued to grow and credit losses are on normal levels for this part of the business cycle. The adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 1.0 billion (1.0).
2024 was a year with substantial product launches across the Volvo Group and with a high pace in R&D spend, especially in Q4. We will continue our push to innovate, but expect gross R&D in 2025 to balance out slightly above the level of 2024. We also continued to streamline our portfolio to strengthen our core business and entered new partnerships and collaborations to continue to drive the transformation towards more efficient and carbon-neutral solutions. In Q4, we announced that we are creating a joint venture with Daimler Trucks to develop a softwaredefined vehicle platform for commercial vehicles. Our goal is to develop a vehicle operating system and to offer brand- and versatile application-agnostic products to other commercial vehicle OEMs. It is an innovative response to the challenges of our modern world, and we are proud to be setting an industry standard.
Looking ahead, we are gearing up for growth aiming to leverage our strong position and leading assets. We believe that by successfully navigating the transformation we will strengthen our market position and capture a larger share of the value in our industry. We will do our part and already have a broad range of electric vehicles and machines on the market, but we are also depending on the actions of policymakers as well as state and industrial leaders to get the transition to a more efficient and cleaner transport system really going.
In this changing landscape, we can provide increased value for our customers and take advantage of the unprecedented growth opportunities that electrification, autonomous solutions and new productivity services offer. In this work, we have a solid foundation with strong customer satisfaction and relations, financial position, industrial backbone, technology and most importantly the right people. I would like to express my gratitude for all the hard work put in by colleagues and supply chain partners and to our customers across the world for a successful 2024. Through our joint efforts we are shaping the world we want to live in.
Martin Lundstedt President and CEO


On October 28, it was announced that Volvo Group and Daimler Truck have signed a binding agreement to establish a new 50/50 joint venture to develop a software-defined vehicle platform for heavy duty vehicles and drive the industry transformation. The new company aims to set an industry standard with headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden. The common goal of the partners is to develop a truck operating system and to offer the joint venture's brand- and versatile application-agnostic products to other commercial vehicle OEMs. Volvo Group and Daimler Truck will remain competitors and continue to focus on an independent product and service offering, including the respective differentiating digital customer offerings. The transaction for the joint venture is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025, subject to obtaining all required regulatory approvals.
On November 14, the Volvo Group held its Capital Markets Day at the Volvo Trucks Customer Center in New River Valley, Virginia, USA. At the event, President and CEO Martin Lundstedt together with Group Management presented the strategic direction to improve the Group's performance and to strengthen earnings resilience across the business cycle while continuing to invest and accelerate growth through the transformation.

Compared with Q4 2023, the adjusted operating income was negatively affected by lower volumes, a negative brand and product mix and increased R&D expenses, which were partly offset by price realization on service and lower material costs.

2023
During Q4 2024, operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations was positive in an amount of SEK 24,270 M (22,655). Compared with Q4 2023, the increased operating cash flow is an effect of a larger reduction of working capital and less income taxes paid counterbalancing the lower operating income.
2024
During Q4 2024, net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, increased by SEK 22.9 billion resulting in a net financial asset position of SEK 85.9 billion on December 31, 2024, compared with SEK 62.9 billion on September 30, 2024. The change is mainly explained by the positive operating cash flow of SEK 24.3 billion. Currency movements increased net financial assets by SEK 0.8 billion.
Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, the Industrial Operations net financial assets amounted to SEK 67.2 billion on December 31, 2024, compared with SEK 44.4 billion on September 30, 2024.

In addition to this granted, but unutilized, credit facilities amounted to SEK 58.7 billion on December 31, 2024 (52.8). Cash and cash equivalents include SEK 2.3 (2.2) billion that are not available for use by the Volvo Group and SEK 9.6 (7.6) billion where other limitations exist, mainly liquid funds in countries where exchange controls or other legal restrictions apply.
Total assets in the Volvo Group increased by SEK 40.5 billion compared with year end 2023. Currency movements increased total assets by SEK 19.6 billion.

In Q4, the European truck market continued to decline compared with the high levels of 2023 with freight volumes and freight rates having come down from previous peaks. Underlying demand is replacement driven with Eastern European fleets increasing their replacements for delivery in the first half of 2025. Truck utilization remains on an overall normal level, but with new vehicles being utilized more and older ones less.
In North America demand for vocational trucks remained strong with long lead times due to capacity constraints at body builders. The long haul segments seem to have bottomed out. Any possible prebuy ahead of EPA27 emission legislation is more likely to materialize towards the second half of 2025.
The Brazilian truck market remained strong in Q4 with the agricultural segment holding up while the mining segment was impacted by lower exports to China. Increased interest rates also affected demand.
In India, the economy has regained momentum after a weak 2024 following the election and an extended monsoon season. Governmental investments and increasing consumption support the truck market.
The Chinese truck market continued to pace below replacement levels. Demand for diesel trucks is decreasing, while the LNG segment remains strong and the battery electric applications are growing.
In Q4, net order intake increased by 24% to 61,200 trucks and deliveries decreased by 11% to 58,706 units. Deliveries of heavyduty trucks decreased by 6%, of medium-duty trucks by 17% and for light-duty trucks the decrease was 38%.
In Europe, order intake increased by 37% to 29,207 units. Order intake for heavy- and medium-duty trucks increased by 68%, mainly driven by replacement demand from Eastern European fleets. The new Volvo FH Aero has been very well received and supports the order intake. Total deliveries in Europe

decreased by 19% to 29,344 trucks, mainly because of lower deliveries of light-duty vehicles as a consequence of a model changeover. Deliveries of light-duty trucks decreased by 38%. In 2024, Volvo Trucks' total heavy-duty market share was 17.9% (17.8) and the electric heavy-duty market share was 46.1% (47.2). Renault Trucks' total heavy-duty truck market share increased to 9.1% (8.3) and the electric heavy-duty market share increased to 24.2% (23.2).
Order intake in North America increased by 26% to 16,944 trucks on the back of a continued strong demand for Mack's vocational trucks and the ramp-up of the all-new Volvo VNL. Deliveries in North America were more or less flat year over year. Q4 2023 was impacted by a six-week strike at Mack Trucks while Q4 2024 saw a gradual ramp-up of the Volvo VNL and a gradual production rate improvement for Mack. In 2024, Volvo Trucks' heavy-duty truck market share amounted to 9.0% (9.1) and Mack Trucks' market share was 6.0% (6.1).
In South America, order intake increased by 11% to 8,850 trucks and deliveries increased by 37% to 8,954 vehicles. In Brazil, Volvo Trucks' remained market leader with a heavy-duty truck market share of 23.7% (23.9).
Order intake in Asia increased by 4% to 4,044 vehicles while deliveries decreased by 22% to 4,279 vehicles.
Order intake for fully electric trucks increased by 4% to 1,138 vehicles while deliveries decreased by 27% to 943 vehicles. The market for electric trucks is still driven by early adopters. A broader adoption is dependent on several factors, among them the expansion of necessary infrastructure such as charging and the total cost of ownership development including incentive schemes.
Order intake in the Indian joint venture, VE Commercial Vehicles, increased by 2% to 17,104 vehicles while the deliveries of 16,963 vehicles were on the same level as in the prior year.
Deliveries from the Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, decreased by 11% to 27,750 trucks.

In Q4 2024, net sales decreased by 4% to SEK 95,478 M (99,896). Excluding currency effects, net sales decreased by 4% with sales of vehicles decreasing by 5% and sales of services increasing by 3%.
In Q4 2024, both adjusted and reported operating income
amounted to SEK 10,138 M (13,691), corresponding to an operating margin of 10.6% (13.7). For more information on adjusted operating income, see note 6.
Compared with Q4 2023, the lower adjusted operating income is an effect of lower volumes, higher R&D expenses and increased manufacturing costs which were partly offset by price realization
on services, lower material costs and better performance in the joint ventures. Supply chain issues in North America as well as the changeover to the new Volvo VNL truck platform meant that underabsorption in production continued to have a negative impact in Q4. Currency movements, compared with Q4 2023, had a negative impact of SEK 465 M.
For the full year 2024, net sales amounted to SEK 360,610 M (373,048). Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 45,826 M (55,394) corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 12.7% (14.8). Reported operating income amounted to SEK 45,966 M (48,893).

In November, Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks took the top three positions when Euro NCAP, the European New Car Assessment Programme, for the first time assessed the safety of heavy-duty trucks. Euro NCAP has been a benchmark in the area of vehicle safety since 1997.
In December, Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) and DHL Supply Chain took a significant step towards transforming freight transportation with the launch of autonomous operations in the
United States. Operations are enabled by the purpose-built, production-ready Volvo VNL Autonomous which is powered by the Aurora Driver. The start of operations marked a critical phase in validating the full ecosystem required for autonomous transport at scale. At this stage, a safety driver is present to monitor performance and ensure seamless integration into existing logistic networks. Freight is initially hauled on two lanes, Dallas to Houston and Fort Worth to El Paso.


Compared with Q4 2023, the total machine market contracted in Q4 2024 due to a slowdown in Europe and North America. Asia excluding China was flat and the total market in China grew.
Compared with the historically high levels of Q4 2023, the total market in Europe continued to decline as end customer demand remained saturated.
The North American market went down from very high levels, as replenishment of dealer and rental fleets have normalized. Underlying demand was stable supported by the non-residential sector.
In South America, the total market grew mainly driven by an improvement in Brazil.
Governmental policies to stimulate the real estate market were the main driver for market growth in China. Asia excluding China was flat, with declines in Southeast Asia, South Korea and Turkey while the markets in India and the Middle East grew.
In Q4, net order intake increased by 19%. After a period of destocking, order intake for the Volvo brand increased by 18% driven by improvements in Europe, Africa and Oceania and South America.
Order intake in North America increased compared with Q4 2023, when orders were restricted due to supply chain inefficiencies.
SDLG's order intake rose by 20% mainly driven by the Chinese market.
Deliveries in Q4 2024 were 5% below the preceding year due to the lower markets in Europe and North America, which were partly offset by SDLG in China.

In Q4, demand for power generation surged mainly driven by data centers. In the off-highway sub-segment, mining recovered, material handling was stable and construction remained on lower levels. The marine commercial market gained some momentum from the energy transition with increased demand for hybrid and electric installations. For marine leisure, demand stayed low but with positive signs due to reduced boat builder inventories.
In Q4, net order intake increased by 15% to 11,234 units while deliveries decreased by 22% to 8,267 units, mainly because of lower deliveries of smaller engines.
Net sales decreased by 5% to SEK 4,761 M (5,031). Adjusted for currency movements, net sales decreased by 5%, of which sales of engines decreased by 9% and sales of services increased by 8%.
Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 583 M (365), corresponding to an operating margin of 12.2% (7.3). For more information on adjusted operating income, see
note 6. A favorable product and market mix and price realization contributed to the profitability, while lower volumes had a negative impact. Compared with Q4 2023, the currency impact on operating income was negative in an amount of SEK 17 M.
For the full year 2024, net sales amounted to SEK 19,852 M (21,006). Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 3,419 M (3,230) corresponding to an operating margin of 17.2% (15.4).
In Q4, Volvo Penta announced a follow-on investment in Utility Innovation Group. The investment underlines Volvo Penta's role as an independent supplier of energy-dense battery energy storage (BESS) subsystems in the growing energy infrastructure market.
Volvo Penta also revealed the expansion of its Assisted Docking system to boats with DPI drives, offering an enhanced marine automation experience to more boaters.
The pilot collaboration with Azimut Yachts on a hybrid electric system with Volvo Penta IPS won two prestigious awards.

The Volvo Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the EU. The accounting policies and definitions are consistently applied with those described in the Volvo Group Annual Report 2023 (available at www.volvogroup.com). There are no new accounting policies
applicable from 2024 that materially affects the Volvo Group.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities.
Each of the Volvo Group's Business Areas and Truck Divisions monitors and manages risks in its operations. In addition, the Volvo Group utilizes a centralized Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) reporting process, which is a systematic and structured framework for reporting and reviewing risk assessments and mitigations as well as for follow-up on identified risks.
The ERM process classifies Volvo Group risks into five categories: Macro and market related risks – such as cyclical nature of the commercial vehicles industry, intense competition, extensive government regulations, political and social uncertainty; Operational risks – such as transformation and technology risk, new business models, risks related to industrial operations including supply chain, reliance on suppliers and materials, cost inflation and price increases, information security and digital infrastructure, strategic transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships and divestments as well as residual value commitments;
Climate and people risks – such as climate, people and culture as well as human rights;
Compliance risks – such as data protection laws, protection and maintenance of intangible assets, legal proceedings and corruption and competition law; and
Financial risks – such as insurance coverage, credit risk, pension commitments, interest-rates and currency fluctuations, liquidity risk, as well as impairment on goodwill and other intangible assets.
For a more elaborate description of these risks, please refer to the Risk Management section on pages 82-88 in the Volvo Group Annual Report 2023.
Short-term risks, when applicable, are also described in the respective segment section of this report.
Our ability to deliver according to market demand depends significantly on obtaining a timely and adequate supply of materials, components and other vital services, as well as on our ability to properly utilize the capacity in the Group's different production and services facilities. At present, our supply chain and industrial system are strained in many areas due to e.g. shortages of labor, materials and components, and transport services. Further strains on the supply chain may also evolve from other events, including financial distress of suppliers, introduction of new or amended export controls, tariffs or other restrictions on international trade and other geopolitical events. There might be supply chain disturbances and stoppages in production going
forward. Such disturbances could lead to higher costs and interruptions in production and delivery of Group products and services, that could have a material negative impact on the Group's financial performance.
The Group might experience higher input costs from increased prices on e.g. purchased material, freight and energy as well as higher labor costs. If the Group is unable to compensate for the higher input costs through increased prices on products and services sold, this could have a negative impact on the Group's financial performance.
Due to the prevailing business model in the construction equipment industry in China, with long payment terms to customers, a substantial part of the Volvo Group's accounts receivable is related to customers in this market. The weakened Chinese construction equipment market is currently impacting customers' and dealers' profitability negatively. This might affect their ability to honor their obligations to the Group and may consequently have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial result and position.
As previously communicated, the Volvo Group has detected that an emissions control component used in certain markets and models, may degrade more quickly than expected, affecting the vehicles emission performance negatively. The Volvo Group made a provision of SEK 7 billion impacting the operating income in Q4 2018, relating to the estimated costs to address the issue. Negative cash flow effects started in 2019 and will continue in the coming years. As of year-end 2024, approximately half of the initial provision had been utilized. The Volvo Group will continuously assess the size of the provision as the matter develops.
The reported amounts for contingent liabilities reflect a part of Volvo Group's risk exposure. Total contingent liabilities as of December 31, 2024, amounted to SEK 17.0 billion, an increase of SEK 1.1 billion compared with December 31, 2023. The gross exposure of SEK 17.0 billion is partly reduced by counter guarantees and collaterals.
Starting in January 2011, the Volvo Group, together with a number of other truck manufacturers, was investigated by the European Commission in relation to a possible violation of EU antitrust rules. In July 2016 the European Commission adopted a settlement decision against the Volvo Group and other truck manufacturers finding that they were involved in an antitrust infringement which, in the case of the Volvo Group, covered a 14 year period from 1997 to 2011. The Volvo Group paid a monetary fine of EUR 670 million.
Following the adoption of the European Commission's settlement decision, the Volvo Group has received and is defending itself against a significant number of private damages claims brought by customers and other third parties alleging that they suffered loss, directly or indirectly, by reason of the conduct covered in the decision. The claims relate primarily to Volvo Group trucks sold during the 14-year period of the infringement and, in some cases, to trucks sold in certain periods after the infringement ended. Some claims have also been made against the Volvo Group that relate to trucks sold by other manufacturers. The truck manufacturers subject to the 2016 settlement decision are, in most countries, jointly and severally liable for any losses arising from the infringement.
In the region of 3,000 claims are being brought in over 20 countries (including EU Member States, the United Kingdom, Norway and Israel) by large numbers of claimants either acting individually or as part of a wider group or class of claimants. Further claims may be commenced. The litigation in many countries can be expected to run for several years.
Several hundred thousand trucks sold by the Volvo Group are currently subject to claims against it or other truck manufacturers, with claimants alleging that the infringement resulted in an
increase in the prices paid for Volvo Group trucks which directly or indirectly caused them loss.
The Volvo Group maintains its firm view that no damage was caused to its customers or any third party by the conduct set out in the settlement decision, and in fact, the European Commission did not assess any potential effects of the infringement on the market. The Volvo Group considers that transaction prices our customers paid for their trucks were unaffected by the infringement and were the outcome of individual negotiations across all elements of their purchasing requirements, including not only the prices for new trucks but also (where relevant) associated products and services sold together with new trucks such as service contracts, financing, buy-back guarantees etc.
Litigation developments so far have been mixed with some adverse outcomes, although uncertainty regarding ultimate exposure to the litigation remains high and it is inherent in complex litigation that outlooks and risks fluctuate over time.
At this stage it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of the total liability that could arise from such proceedings given the complexity of the claims and the different (and in some cases relatively early) stages to which national proceedings have progressed. However, the litigation is substantial in scale and any adverse outcome or outcomes of some or all of the litigation, depending on the nature and extent of such outcomes, may have a material negative impact on the Volvo Group's financial results, cash flows and financial position. In light of progress in litigations and current risks, the Volvo Group has in Q2 2023 recognized a cost of SEK 6 billion (in addition to previously recognized costs of SEK 630 M and besides legal fees to advisors), relating to aspects of the litigation that are currently possible to estimate and where an outflow of resources is probable. This is Volvo Group's current assessment, which may change as the litigation progresses.
In October, the Volvo Group acquired a production plant which produces cabs for Mack's heavy- and medium-duty trucks, in North Carolina, USA, from Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. The acquisition was made at a purchase price of SEK 514 M (USD 49 M). The acquired operation is recognized in the segment Trucks in the Volvo Group financial statements.
The Volvo Group has not completed any other acquisitions or divestments of operations during Q4 that have had a material impact on the financial statements.
Assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to net SEK 368 M (3,803) as of December 31, 2024 mainly related to planned property divestments.
Valuation principles and classifications of Volvo Group financial instruments, as described in Volvo Group Annual Report 2023 Note 30, have been consistently applied throughout the reporting period. Financial instruments in the Volvo Group reported at fair value through profit and loss consist mainly of interest and currency derivatives. Derivatives with positive fair values amounted to SEK 6.3 billion (6.9) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to SEK 5.9 billion (5.8) as of December 31, 2024. The derivatives are accounted for on gross basis.
Financial liabilities valued at amortized cost, reported as noncurrent and current bond loans and other loans, amounted to SEK 258.9 billion (233.5) in reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 258.7 billion (232.8). In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting to SEK 4.8 billion (3.3).
