In Q1, the Volvo Group's net sales declined by 7% adjusted for currency movements and amounted to SEK 121.8 billion (131.2). Sales of vehicles were 9% lower than in Q1 2024 and as the quarter went by, there was increased uncertainty surrounding tariffs and their effect on global trade. The underlying service business continued to grow supported by good utilization of vehicles and machines in many markets across the world. Adjusted for the divestment of Arquus and currency our service business grew by 2% compared with Q1, 2024, and on a rolling 12-month basis we had service revenues of SEK 129.2 billion.
The lower vehicle volumes affected our profitability, but we nonetheless generated an operating income of SEK 13.3 billion (18.2) with a margin of 10.9% (13.8). Return on capital employed amounted to 31.8% (37.7) and operating cash flow in our Industrial Operations was SEK 1.3 billion (8.9). At the end of the quarter, we had a net financial position of SEK 77.9 billion, excluding pension and lease liabilities and before the distribution of the dividend in April.
Compared with Q1 2024, deliveries in our truck business declined by 12% to 48,833 trucks, and the currency-adjusted net sales decreased by 9% to SEK 82.2 billion. In contrast to the lower deliveries, order intake rose by 13% to 55,227 trucks, with increases in all markets except South America. The operating margin amounted to 10.3% (14.5), impacted by the lower deliveries. In addition, the margin was impacted by the changeover to the new truck platform in North America as well as under absorption in the U.S. truck production.
It is clear that our customers appreciate our new trucks and the benefits they provide for their businesses. In Europe, Volvo Trucks had an all-time high market share of 20.1% in heavy-duty trucks. Combined with Renault Trucks, the Group's share was a record 30.6%, We were also the market leader in Brazil with Volvo Trucks on 23.8%. Volvo Trucks' market share in North America has been hampered by the changeover to the new product platform, whereas Mack Trucks have regained market share as supply chain issues have been worked through.
On April 8, Mack celebrated its 125th anniversary and launched the all-new Mack Pioneer for long-haul trucking. The Mack Pioneer is designed for superior comfort, advanced aerodynamics and game-changing fuel efficiency and is a strong lever for further strengthening Mack's position going forward.
Construction Equipment's deliveries increased by 7% with lower volumes for the Volvo brand in Europe and North America more than being offset by an increase for the SDLG brand mainly in China. The net sales of SEK 21.1 billion were 8% lower than in

"We have have high customer satisfaction and strong relations, and in times of uncertainty it is more important than ever to work in close cooperation with our customers."
the previous year adjusted for currency changes, and the operating margin declined to 12.0% (16.1) impacted by the lower volumes in Europe and North America.
On the construction equipment side, we also continue to push innovation with the rollout of new products. At the large trade fair Bauma in Germany in early April we showcased our groundbreaking all-electric lineup of excavators, wheel loaders, articulated haulers, and compact equipment, and we also unveiled the world's first electric articulated haulers in the A30 and A40 size classes.
Demand for buses remained strong in many markets, particularly for coaches. Buses currency-adjusted net sales increased by 7% to SEK 5.4 billion with an improvement in the operating margin to 6.6% (5.0) supported by price realization and the restructuring of the business model in Europe carried out in 2024.
Volvo Penta continued to perform well on slightly lower volumes in Q1. Net sales decreased by 3% to SEK 5.0 billion and the operating margin amounted to 18.3% (19.1), supported by a positive mix.
Our customer financing operations, Volvo Financial Services, continued to report good earnings, stable portfolio performance and an increase in the penetration level to 29%. The operating income amounted to SEK 1.0 billion (1.0).
We have have high customer satisfaction and strong relations, and in times of uncertainty it is more important than ever to work in close cooperation with our customers. We stay close to support their businesses as efficiently as possible with leading products and services. We have a solid foundation with the right people, a well-invested industrial backbone, cutting-edge technology and a strong financial position.
In the fast-changing geopolitical landscape, it is too early to assess the full implications from the imposed tariffs. However, we have strong regional value chains and global capabilities. In the short term, we therefore work actively with our regional value chains to adapt flows, production capacity and commercial terms to mitigate the effects from tariffs and their subsequent impact on demand.
In the long term, transport and infrastructure remain exciting growth industries at the core of driving prosperity.

Compared with Q1 2024, the operating income was negatively affected by lower volumes, a negative brand and product mix, the changeover to new truck platform in North America as well as under absorption in the truck production in the U.S. These were partly offset by an improved service business, lower freight costs

In Q1 2025, interest income was SEK 638 M (885), whereas interest expenses amounted to SEK -409 M (-364).
Other financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -632 M (-238). The change is primarily due to revaluation effects of financial assets and liabilities.

During Q1 2025, operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations was positive in an amount of SEK 1,309 M (8,896). Compared with Q1 2024, the decreased operating cash flow is mainly an effect of the lower operating income.



During Q1 2025, net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, decreased by SEK 7.9 billion resulting in a net financial asset position of SEK 77.9 billion on March 31, 2025, compared with SEK 85.9 billion on December 31, 2024. The change is mainly explained by capital injections to Financial Services, made in order to increase their equity ratio from 8.0% to 10.0%. Currency movements decreased net financial assets by SEK 2.5 billion.
Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, the Industrial Operations net financial assets amounted to SEK 61.4 billion on March 31, 2025, compared with SEK 67.2 billion on December 31, 2024.

In Q1, the European heavy-duty truck market was down by 15% in terms of registrations. Truck utilization remained on normal levels and the market is largely replacement-driven.
Recently announced increases in defense spending in Europe is expected to gradually drive demand from armed forces. The Group's global deliveries of trucks to armed forces amount to approximately 1,500 trucks per year.
Also in North America the market was down compared with Q1 2024 with retail sales being 13% lower mainly driven by a weaker long haul segment while the vocational segment remained stronger. Recent uncertainty surrounding trade tariffs and the EPA27 emissions legislation have caused US customers to adopt a wait and see approach. There is no longer an expectation of a prebuy in 2025 due to EPA27.
The Brazilian truck market remained on a level broadly on par with the prior year. The market is supported by continued strong agricultural and mining exports, but high inflation and increased interest rates are expected to gradually dampen demand.
In Q1 2025, the Indian truck market was supported by ongoing infrastructure projects and gradually strengthening freight demand.
The freight overcapacity in China continued to hamper demand for trucks and the total market declined year of year. The market for battery-electric applications continued to grew.
In Q1, net order intake increased by 13% to 55,227 trucks and deliveries decreased by 12% to 48,833 units. Deliveries of heavyduty trucks decreased by 7%, of medium-duty trucks by 26% and for light-duty trucks the decrease was 36%.
In Europe, order intake increased by 25% to 31,362 units. Order intake for heavy- and medium-duty trucks increased by 35% with good momentum for both Volvo and Renault Trucks. Total deliveries in Europe decreased by 18% to 24,047 trucks,
impacted by deliveries of light-duty vehicles decreasing by 36% as a consequence of a model changeover. Through March, Volvo Trucks' total heavy-duty market share reached an all-time high of 20.1% (16.8). The electric heavy-duty market share was 36.5% (56,8). Renault Trucks' also had strong total heavy-duty truck market share, which increased to 10.5% (8.2). The electric heavyduty market share increased to 23.6% (15.4).
Order intake in North America increased by 6% to 10,217 trucks with strong demand for Mack's vocational trucks while order intake for Volvo was impacted by the changeover to the new platform. Deliveries in North America decreased by 5% to 14,315 trucks. Volvo Trucks' heavy-duty truck market share amounted to 7.2% (9.1) hampered by the model changeover while Mack Trucks' market share rose to 6.9% (5.3) on the back of an improved supply chain and good vocational demand.

Order intake for fully electric trucks increased by 51% to 965 vehicles, largely driven by the light-duty segment while deliveries decreased by 9% to 828 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 9% to 20,213 vehicles while deliveries increased by 6% to 20,580 vehicles.
Deliveries from the Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, increased by 33% to 30,432 trucks.

Compared with Q1 2024, the lower operating income is an effect of lower volumes, the changeover to the new truck platform in North America and under absorption in the truck production in the U.S., which were partly offset by an improved service business, lower freight costs and lower R&D expenses. Compared with Q1 2024, currency movements had a negative impact of SEK 58 M.

In the beginning of March, Volvo Trucks launched a completely new Volvo VNR for the North American regional haul market. It is built on Volvo's new platform, making the new truck more fuel efficient, safer and more versatile.
Volvo's most fuel-efficient truck ever – the Volvo FH Aero – won the 2025 Green Truck award. The Volvo FH Aero offers a combination of good aerodynamics and an efficient powertrain, resulting in savings in fuel and CO2 according to an independent test in Germany.
On April 8, Mack Trucks unveiled the all-new Mack Pioneer, its new flagship highway truck. Available in the U.S. and Canada in multiple configurations including day cabs, and short, medium and long sleeper options, the Pioneer meets the diverse needs of fleet owners and operators across all highway applications.

In Q1, the total machine market was flat compared with the prior year. Asia, including China, and South America grew while Europe and North America contracted.
Compared with the historically high levels in Q1 2024, the total market in Europe declined as end customer demand remained saturated.
The North American market was down from very high levels, as replenishment of dealer and rental fleets continued to normalize. End customer demand declined due to repositioning of fleets and market outlook uncertainty.
In South America, the market grew mainly driven by Brazil but also by improved business sentiment in Argentina and Chile.
The Chinese market continued to grow on the back of governmental policies to stimulate the real estate and construction segments.
Asia excluding China was slightly up, with growth in Indonesia driven by regained momentum in the mining industry as well as a good development in South Korea. India, Turkey and the Middle
East experienced declines mainly because of revised government investments in infrastructure.
In Q1, net order intake increased by 24% to 17,176 machines. Order intake for the Volvo brand increased by 19% with improvements in all markets except South America.
In Europe, dealer orders increased as dealer inventory levels came down and end customer sentiment improved.
The increased order intake in North America is an effect of more normalized supply and low order intake in the prior year due to high inventory levels in the market.
Order intake for SDLG branded machines improved by 30% driven by the Chinese market.
Deliveries in Q1 were 7% higher than in 2024 and amounted to 15,508 machines. Increased volumes for SDLG in China more than offset lower volumes of Volvo branded machines in Europe and North America.

Compared with Q1 2024, new business volume increased by 5%, when adjusted for currency. In Q1, both adjusted and reported operating income increased to SEK 1,019 M (1,009).

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 2024 (available at www.volvogroup.com). There are no new accounting policies
applicable from 2025 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 four categories:
Macro and market related risks – such as cyclical nature of the commercial vehicles industry, intense competition as well as 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, residual value commitments as well as people and culture;
Compliance risks – such as product and operational related regulations, digital and data related regulations, protection and maintenance of intangible assets, legal proceedings, corruption and competition law and human rights; 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 60-66 in the Volvo Group Annual Report 2024.
Short-term risks, when applicable, are also described in the respective segment section of this report.
Recent tariffs and other trade restrictions imposed or considered to be imposed by the US and other countries have significantly increased uncertainty about trade conditions in markets where the Group is present, as well as in relation to global and regional supply chains. The situation is fast-changing and complex to assess, and no predictions can be made on future developments, potential impacts on the Group or whether trade restrictions may impact the Group more severely than main competitors. However, the introduction of tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions on our vehicles, parts, and other products and materials could disrupt existing supply chains, impose additional costs on our business or that of our suppliers, create sudden
disadvantages for Group operations compared to competitors having different supply chains, and could generally make our products more expensive for customers and/or less competitive.
Recent developments in global trade policies have also increased the risk of a broader economic slowdown. Such developments could negatively impact global demand and lead to increased costs for e.g. raw materials, components, transport and energy. A prolonged period of trade uncertainty may also negatively affect investment levels and customer purchasing behavior, particularly in Group key markets. The Group will endeavor to adapt to changes in market conditions as they may evolve, but the introduction of trade restrictions and changes in trade policies could, individually or in combination, have a material adverse effect on the Group's business and financial performance.
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 March 31, 2025, amounted to SEK 15.8 billion, a decrease of SEK 1.2 billion compared with December 31, 2024. The gross exposure of SEK 15.8 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.
The Volvo Group has not completed any acquisitions or divestments of operations during the first quarter that have had a material impact on the financial statements.
Assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to net SEK 358 M (368) as of March 31, 2025, which mainly relates to planned property divestments.
Valuation principles and classifications of Volvo Group financial instruments, as described in Volvo Group Annual Report 2024 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 7.4 billion (6.3) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to SEK 2.6 billion (5.9) as of March 31, 2025. 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 253.0 billion (258.9) in reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 253.1 billion (258.7). In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting to SEK 1.3 billion (4.8).
