"Despite lower vehicle volumes, we maintained our earnings resilience and generated an adjusted operating margin of 10.6%."
In Q3 2025, the Volvo Group's net sales increased in Europe, while more difficult market conditions in North America and South America impacted sales negatively. In total, the Group's net sales amounted to SEK 110.7 billion (117.0), which was an increase of 1% when adjusted for currency movements. Sales of vehicles were 1% lower than in Q3 2024 when adjusted for currency. The underlying development in the service business remained good, with service sales growing by 4% adjusted for currency. On a rolling 12-month basis service revenues amounted to SEK 126 billion. Despite the lower vehicle volumes, we maintained our earnings resilience and generated an adjusted operating income of SEK 11.7 billion (14.1) with an adjusted operating margin of 10.6% (12.0).
Operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations amounted to SEK -1.7 billion (3.1). Cash flow was impacted by the normal seasonality with lower production in Q3 and also by increased investments. At the end of the quarter, we had a net financial position of SEK 45.4 billion (62.9) excluding pension and lease liabilities. Return on capital employed amounted to 25.2% (38.3).
Compared with Q3 2024, deliveries in our truck business decreased by 4% to 44,631 trucks with heavy-duty trucks declining by 5%. Our deliveries in Europe increased, with production rates being raised before summer, while volumes in North America and South America decreased, reflecting production adjustments to the more difficult market conditions there. In Q3, order intake for heavy-duty trucks declined by 15% compared with a year ago. Order intake has softened in Europe, but following the good order momentum we had in the first half of the year our order backlog is on a good level. In North America, customers continue to be cautious due to the weak freight market, which is further compounded by uncertainty regarding the EPA 2027 emissions standards and the impact of tariffs. Demand in Brazil has been impacted by increased interest rates, which restrain economic activity.
In Q3, net sales in our truck business declined by 2% to SEK 74.2 billion adjusted for currency, with sales of vehicles decreasing by 3%. However, despite various uncertainties, the overall utilization of trucks in the fleets has remained on good levels in most markets. This has supported demand for spare parts and services, with sales increasing by 4%. The adjusted operating margin in the truck segment was impacted by the lower volumes and amounted to 9.1% (11.7).
Our vision of zero accidents involving our products and in our own operations is about putting people in the center of everything we do. Our efforts in this area were confirmed in the latest Euro NCAP safety rating of heavy-duty trucks in which Volvo again scored five stars for both the Volvo FH Aero and the Volvo FM. The Renault Trucks T model kept its four stars. All three trucks were awarded
the CitySafe Label, which recognizes trucks designed to protect vulnerable road users in city traffic situations.
In Q3, Construction Equipment's deliveries decreased by 4%, impacted by the previously announced divestment of our stake in SDLG, which was finalized on September 1. Adjusting for SDLG, deliveries increased by 14%. The net sales of SEK 18.9 billion were 8% higher than in Q3 2024 adjusted for currency changes. The adjusted operating margin increased to 14.4% (13.6) driven by a positive product mix and an improved service business.
Volvo Buses' deliveries decreased by 13% to 1,393 units, with lower volumes in all markets except North America. However, the currency-adjusted net sales increased by 4% to SEK 6.0 billion and the adjusted operating margin amounted to 12.6% (11.8).
In Q3, Volvo Penta maintained its strong performance supported by good engine and service volumes. The industrial segments, including data centers in the US and marine commercial remain strong. Currency-adjusted net sales increased by 13% to SEK 5.0 billion and the adjusted operating margin amounted to 18.6% (17.7).
The portfolio performance in our customer-financing operation, Volvo Financial Services, continued to be stable with a portfolio growth of 4% adjusted for currency. The adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 1.0 billion (1.0).
We are in a period with weaker demand in our key regions and with increased uncertainty in North America. In this situation, we focus on what we can impact. We have have adjusted our operations, applied strict cost control, remain firm on commercial conditions and drive our service business. Our customers around the world continue to utilize their vehicles and machines, which means that they will have to be replaced sooner or later. With our fuel-efficient and competitive lineup of products and services across the business areas, we are well-positioned to capture growth in the next cyclical upturn.
We also continue to drive the shift toward zero-emission solutions, knowing that the transformation must go hand-in-hand with progress in society. By balancing our ambitions with customer readiness, we will continue to move the industry forward and deliver long-term value for both our customers and our shareholders.
Martin Lundstedt President and CEO

On September 1, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) completed its previously communicated divestment of its ownership in China-based SDLG to a fund predominantly owned by the Lingong Group for SEK 8 billion (RMB 6 billion). The transaction had a positive effect of SEK 811 M on operating income in Q3.
On October 1, it was announced that after ten years of service, Bruno Blin, had decided to step down from his role as member of the Volvo Group Executive Board and President Renault Trucks. He will be replaced by Antoine Duclaux, currently Senior Vice President Renault Trucks International. The transition will take effect on November 1.
No other significant events have occurred after the end of the third quarter 2025 that are expected to have a material effect on the Volvo Group's financial statements.

In Q3 2025, the Volvo Group's net sales decreased by 5% to SEK 110,692 M compared with SEK 116,978 M in the same quarter the preceding year. Net sales increased in Europe but decreased in all other regions.
When adjusted for currency movements, net sales increased by 1%, of which vehicle sales decreased by 1% and service sales increased by 4%.
In Q3 2025, adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 11,707 M (14,074), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 10.6% (12.0). Compared with Q3 2024, the adjusted operating income was negatively affected by increased material, manufacturing and tariff costs, which were partly offset by an improved service business and lower R&D expenses. In Q3, the net tariff impact was negative in an amount of approximately SEK 500 M, with more than half impacting Construction Equipment. In Q4, the net tariff impact is expected to be approximately SEK 1 billion. Compared with Q3 2024, currency movements, had a negative impact of SEK 1,626 M.
In Q3 2025, a positive effect of SEK 811 M from to the divestment of SDLG has been excluded from adjusted operating income. There were no adjustments in Q3 2024. For more information on adjusted operating income, please see Note 6.
Reported operating income in Q3 2025 amounted to SEK 12,517 M (14,074), corresponding to an operating margin of 11.3% (12.0).
In Q3 2025, interest income was SEK 380 M (601), whereas interest expenses amounted to SEK -451 M (-375).
Other financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -310 M (-727). The change is primarily due to revaluation effects of financial assets and liabilities.
In Q3 2025, income taxes amounted to SEK -4,554 M (-3,500). The effective tax rate was 37.5% (25.8). The higher tax rate is mainly related to the taxable gain from the sale of the SDLG shares in China. Excluding the SDLG divestment, the effective tax rate was 23.5%.
In Q3 2025, income for the period amounted to SEK 7,583 M (10,073). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 3.71 (4.93).

During Q3 2025, operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations was negative in an amount of SEK -1,739 M (3,069). Compared with Q3 2024, the decreased operating cash flow is primarily an effect of increased working capital, lower operating income and increased investments.

During Q3 2025, net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, increased by SEK 2.2 billion resulting in a net financial asset position of SEK 45.4 billion on September 30, 2025, compared with SEK 43.1 billion on June 30, 2025. The change is mainly explained by a positive impact from the divestment of SDLG, which was partly offset by the negative operating cash flow. Currency movements decreased net financial assets by SEK 0.3 billion.
Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, the Industrial Operations net financial assets amounted to SEK 31.0 billion on September 30, 2025, compared with SEK 26.5 billion on June 30, 2025.

During Q3, the European truck market continued to be replacement-driven on the back of a stable truck fleet utilization. Through September, registrations of heavy-duty trucks were down by 9% compared with the prior year. Recently announced increases in defense spending in Europe has not yet materialized in demand but is expected to have a gradual impact from 2026.
The North American long-haul freight market remains in recession with decreased freight volumes and freight prices. The straight truck and the cab over engine segment, such as refuse trucks, has held up better. Continued uncertainty regarding EPA 2027 emissions standards and tariffs also adds to customers taking a cautious stance. The total North American market as per August was 10% lower than in 2024.
High interest rates in Brazil is cooling down the economy and the truck market, which declined by 11% compared with the prior year. The market is supported by the agricultural, mining and pulp industries while the general industrial segments are weaker.
In Q3, the Indian truck market regained strength from a postmonsoon rebound in construction and mining. The market was also supported by tax rate revisions as well as from improved financing conditions as inflation eased.
The Chinese market rebound continued through the summer and was fueled by trade-in incentives for diesel, natural gas as well as battery-electric trucks. Diesel trucks represented half of the market through September and the other half was split equally between natural gas and battery-electric vehicles.
In Q3, total net order intake declined by 14% compared with the prior year and reached 37,134 trucks while deliveries decreased by 4% to 44,631 units. Deliveries of heavy-duty trucks decreased by 5% while deliveries of light-duty increased by 47% as the light-duty model program is now largely complete, which drove deliveries to dealers.
In Europe, order intake decreased by 10% to 21,290 units, with orders for heavy- and medium-duty trucks decreasing by 11% and orders for light-duty trucks decreasing by 4%. Total deliveries in Europe increased by 10% to 22,200 trucks, with heavy- and medium-duty trucks increasing by 4% and light-duty trucks increasing by 50%. Through September, Volvo continued to deliver a strong heavy-duty market share which reached 19.4% (16.8). The electric heavy-duty market share was 29,1% (56.8). Also Renault Trucks improved the heavy-duty truck market share to 10.5% (8.2) and the electric heavy-duty market share increased to 23.6% (15.4).
Order intake in North America increased by 10% to 9,434 trucks, driven by straight trucks and refuse trucks for Mack and a weak comparison figure for Volvo Trucks in Q3 2024. Deliveries in North America decreased by 20% to 9,622 trucks. Volvo's heavyduty truck market share as of August amounted to 7.9% (9.1). Mack's market share rose to 7.5% (6.0) on the back of an improved supply chain and good demand in Mack's core segments.
In South America, order intake decreased by 63% to 2,227 trucks while deliveries decreased by 17% to 6,784 vehicles. In Brazil, Volvo remained the market leader with a heavy-duty truck market share of 23.1% (23.2). Order intake in Asia decreased by 41% to 1,783 vehicles while deliveries increased by 5% to 3,735 vehicles. Order intake in Asia and South America has been affected by restrictive order slotting.

In Q3 2025, net sales decreased by 7% to SEK 74,196 M (80,054). Excluding currency effects, net sales decreased by 2% with sales of vehicles decreasing by 3% and sales of services increasing by 4%.
In Q3 2025, both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 6,761 M (9,363), corresponding to an
operating margin of 9.1% (11.7). Compared with Q3 2024, the lower operating income is an effect of higher material and manufacturing costs as well as decreased volumes and increased tariff costs, which were partly offset by lower R&D expenses and an improved service business. Compared with Q3 2024, currency movements had a negative impact of SEK 1,074 M.

Volvo Trucks again received the maximum 5-star safety rating for its heavy-duty trucks from the European consumer test organization Euro NCAP. Both the Volvo FH Aero 6x2 and the Volvo FM 6x2 scored top results in the 2025 rating. The Renault Trucks T confirmed its high safety performance by keeping its 4 star rating. All models were awarded the CitySafe label, which recognizes vehicles best equipped for urban driving and for the protection of vulnerable road users.
Trucks that keep moving, are safe and deliver maximum uptime and productivity for their owners. This is what Volvo wants to achieve with its digital and connected services for customers. One million connected Volvo trucks are on the road worldwide, and can make use of the Volvo's full range of services.
In August, Mack Trucks started the production of the all-new Mack Pioneer at its Lehigh Valley Operations manufacturing facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, USA. The highway truck, unveiled in April 2025, represents the most significant advancement in Mack's long-haul offerings, combining unprecedented aerodynamic performance, driver comfort and fuel efficiency.

In Q3, the global machine market grew compared with the prior year. Europe, North America and Asia including China grew while South America contracted.
In Q3, the total market in Europe grew for the first time in more than a year, with support from major markets, such as Germany and the UK, while France and Italy contracted.
After a weak first half of the year, the North American market grew in Q3, partly driven by anticipation of higher prices due to tariffs. Government stimulus through tax credits and favorable depreciation also supported the market.
In South America, the market declined in Q3 driven by Brazil. There is a more positive sentiment in other markets, such as Argentina and Colombia.
The Chinese market continued to grow, albeit at a slower pace, following governmental policies to stimulate the real estate sector. This mainly drives demand for smaller machines.
Asia excluding China was up, with continued growth in Indonesia driven by regained momentum in the mining industry, as well as growth in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Turkey.
Japan and South Korea continued to decline. The Indian market was down, mainly for large machines.
In Q3, net order intake decreased by 2%, impacted by the divestment of SDLG on September 1. Adjusting for SDLG, order intake increased by 22%. Order intake for the Volvo brand was driven by continued dealer inventory replenishment in Europe and resizing of fleets and stock levels in North America preparing for 2026.
Deliveries in Q3 were 4% lower than in the prior year, driven by the divestment of SDLG. Adjusting for SDLG, deliveries increased by 14%. The Volvo brand had higher deliveries in Europe and the Middle East, which were partly offset by lower deliveries in North America as dealers balance their inventory levels.
In Q3 2025, net sales increased by 1% to SEK 18,926 M (18,809). Adjusted for currency movements net sales increased by 8%. Excluding SDLG the increase was14%, of which machine sales increased by 17% and service sales increased by 6%.

170 M while currency movements had a negative impact of SEK 159 M compared with Q3 2024.
In Q3, Volvo Buses launched a new electric coach chassis with industry-leading battery capacity of up to 720 kWh, expanding the modular BZR Electric platform to also include coach applications.

The high demand for power generation engines for data centers in the U.S. continued.

In Q3 2025, the credit portfolio for Financial Services continued to grow. Adjusted for currency, the net credit portfolio increased by 4% compared with Q3 2024. The portfolio performance continued to be solid, although increased delinquencies and writeoffs have been visible in some markets and business segments. Compared with Q3 2024, new business volume decreased by 3%, when adjusted for currency.
In Q3, both adjusted and reported operating income amounted
to SEK 1,029 M (992). The increase in operating income compared with Q3 2024 is primarily a result of continued portfolio growth, which was partly offset by increased credit provision expenses and unfavorable currency movements, which had a negative impact of SEK 79 M compared with Q3 2024.
Return on equity on a rolling 12-month basis amounted to 11.3% (13.2).

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, 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 some 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.
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 September 30, 2025, amounted to SEK 14.0 billion, a decrease of SEK 2.9 billion compared with December 31, 2024, mainly related to the divestment of SDLG. The gross exposure of SEK 14.0 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 August, the Volvo Group acquired 100% of the shares in Truck Centre Western Australia from P.H.W Air Charter and Max Winkless. The acquisition was made at a purchase price of SEK 655 M (AUD 105 M). The acquired operation is recognized in the segment Trucks in the Volvo Group financial statements.
In September, the Volvo Group divested its entire stake of 70% of the shares in SDLG (Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co) to a fund predominantly owned by LGG (Lingong Group) for SEK 7 943 M (RMB 6 000 M). The divestment impacted the Volvo Group's operating income positively by SEK 811 M (including recycled accumulated currency effects of SEK 815 M).
The Volvo Group has not completed any other acquisitions or divestments of operations during the third quarter that have had a material impact on the financial statements.
Assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to net SEK 91 M (368) as of September 30, 2025.
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 8.1 billion (6.3) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to SEK 2.1 billion (5.9) as of September 30, 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 249.8 billion (258.9) in reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 250.2 billion (258.7). In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting to SEK 1.1 billion (4.8).
