CEO'S COMMENTS

Solid execution in an unprecedented quarter

The second quarter of 2020 was characterized by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on society and economic development. Measures adopted by countries to control the spread had a significant impact on our production and supply chain as well as on demand for our products and services. Our net sales decreased by 39% to SEK 73.2 billion. After having been standing still in April, production was gradually restarted in May and is currently running well thanks to great efforts by our colleagues and suppliers. We also took forceful actions to reduce activities and costs, including salary reductions, temporary layoffs as part of governmental programs and a reduction of purchased services. All of these activities contributed to the Volvo Group achieving an adjusted operating income of SEK 3.3 billion (15.1) with a margin of 4.5% (12.5).

Since the record levels in Q2 of last year, demand has declined as part of a normal cyclical slowdown, something that was significantly accelerated by the pandemic. In order to adapt, we have utilized our installed flexibility to reduce the number of employees and consultants by 10,000 compared to a year ago. We expect demand to continue to be negatively affected in the short and medium term because of the lower economic activity in many markets and the fact that the truck and machine populations are relatively young. Therefore, we need to turn some of the short-term cost reduction activities into structural measures, and in Q2 we announced that we will further reduce the white-collar workforce by approximately 4,100 positions. Total restructuring charges amount to SEK 3.2 billion and the measures are expected to generate annual savings in the same magnitude, with the majority taking effect during the first half of 2021.

Cash flow in Q2 was negative, but we continue to have a strong financial position with net cash of SEK 50.6 billion in the Industrial Operations, pension and lease liabilities excluded. This allows us to act from a position of strength and to drive the transformational technologies that are moving our industry to more sustainable solutions. We continue to invest in electrification, automation and connectivity.

In our truck operations, deliveries in Q2 decreased by 57% with reductions in all regions. Net sales declined by 46% to SEK 40.6 billion, while the adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 0.7 billion (9.5) corresponding to a margin of 1.8% (12.6). Truck order intake decreased by 45%. Order intake in the beginning of the quarter was impacted by weak demand and our own measures to secure the quality in the order book. When countries started to open up again, both fleet utilization and order intake began to recover. However, there is still significant uncertainty about the future economic development and demand for our products.

With regards to our intended strategic alliance with Isuzu Motors, there is some delay to the original time plan because of COVID-19. Signing of final agreements is now expected

during the second half of 2020 and closing of the transaction during the first half of 2021.

In Q2, demand for construction equipment in both Europe and North America was weak. However, this was partly offset by a strong rebound in the Chinese market. Volvo CE's net sales decreased by 15% to SEK 22.9 billion and the adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 3.1 billion (4.2) with a margin of 13.6% (15.5). Order intake increased by 11% as a result of us leveraging our strong market position in China, which is the world's largest construction equipment market.

Volvo Buses had a difficult quarter as bus operators across the globe faced the severe effects on travel from the pandemic. Our customers that are operating coaches and tourist buses have been particularly hard hit with large parts of their fleets idling. Whereas demand is low in the coach segment, the transformation to more sustainable public transport continues with stable demand for electrified city buses. Net sales in Q2 declined by 64% reflecting a drop in deliveries of 68%. Volvo Buses reported an adjusted operating loss of SEK 532 M (+403).

Volvo Penta's net sales of SEK 2.5 billion were 32% lower than in Q2 2019, primarily due to lower volumes of marine leisure engines. Adjusted operating income amounting to SEK 345 M (618) corresponding to a margin of 13.7% (16.9).

In Q2, our Financial Services operations reported a significantly lower adjusted operating income of SEK 57 M (686), mainly as a consequence of increased provisioning for expected credit losses. We are supporting our customers with modifications of their contracts, allowing a few installment-free months to support them through the tough times. However, the business environment in certain customer segments will likely remain challenging putting pressure on their ability to pay their installments.

In these challenging times, we continue to focus on our colleagues, customers and business partners, cash flow and cost. The health, safety and well-being of our colleagues and business partners remain our first priority, and I would like to acknowledge all of them for their dedicated efforts in this unprecedented quarter. By securing our current performance we will be able to take the lead in the transformation into sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future.

Report on the second quarter 2020

FINANCIAL SUMMARY OF THE SECOND QUARTER 2020

Net sales

In Q2 2020, the Volvo Group's net sales amounted to SEK 73,227 M compared with SEK 120,694 M in the same quarter the preceding year. Adjusted for currency movements, net sales decreased by 38%.

Vehicle sales decreased by 45% adjusted for currency movements, with all business areas having lower currency-adjusted sales. Adjusted for currency movements, service sales decreased by 14%.

Operating income

In Q2 2020, the adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 3,272 M (15,105), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 4.5% (12.5).

The adjustment of SEK 2,885 M in Q2 2020 refers to restructuring charges of SEK 3,200 related to the previously announced cost-reduction measures and a positive effect of SEK 315 M related to the ceased depreciation and amortization of assets held for sale.

Compared with Q2 2019, the lower adjusted operating income is mainly an effect of reductions in vehicle volumes, lower capacity utilization in the industrial system and lower service sales. In the quarter residual value and inventory write-downs amounted to SEK 1,311 M, due to lower used truck prices. Credit provisioning of SEK 844 M in Financial Services also had a negative impact. This was partly offset by lower selling, R&D and administrative expenses, reflecting lower activity levels. Various governmental short-term layoff programs amounted to SEK 1,718 M.

Currency movements, compared with Q2 2019, had a positive impact of SEK 341 M.

Reported operating income amounted to SEK 388 M (15,105).

Report on the second quarter 2020

Financial items

In Q2 2020, interest income of SEK 63 M (86) was on par with the previous year, whereas interest expenses decreased to SEK 364 M (459). The decrease relates primarily to lower outstanding debt in countries with high interest rates.

Other financial income and expenses were on par with the previous year and amounted to SEK -177 M (-167).

Income taxes

In Q2 2020, income taxes amounted to SEK 134 M compared with SEK -3,213 M in the previous year.

Income for the period and earnings per share

In Q2 2020, income for the period amounted to SEK 44 M (11,352). Diluted earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.14 (+5.47).

Operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations

During Q2 2020, operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations was negative in an amount of SEK 5,718 M compared with a positive cash flow of SEK 13,867 in the preceding year. The lower cash flow compared to Q2 2019 is primarily an effect of the reduction of operating income of SEK 14,044 M as well as an increase in working capital of SEK 10,212 M in Q2 2020 compared to a decrease of SEK 576 M in Q2 2019. In Q2 2020, working capital increased as an effect of trade payables decreasing by SEK 15,495 related to significantly lower production levels, which were partly offset by a reduction of inventories of SEK 5,266 M and adjustments of certain tax payments.

Volvo Group financial position

During Q2 2020, net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, decreased by SEK 7.2 billion resulting in a net financial asset position of SEK 50.6 billion on June 30, 2020. The change is mainly explained by a negative operating cash flow of SEK 5.7 billion. Currency movements decreased net financial assets by SEK 0.8 billion.

Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, the Industrial Operations had net financial assets of SEK 23.2 billion on June 30, 2020. Provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities increased by SEK 0.8 billion during the quarter. This was mainly due to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans of SEK 1.7 billion offset by positive currency movements of SEK 0.9 billion. The increase in defined benefit obligations was primarily an effect of significantly lower interest rates in all countries, which were partly offset by higher return on assets.

The Volvo Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 71.8 billion on June 30, 2020 compared to SEK 61.5 billion on December 31, 2019. In addition to this granted, but unutilized, credit facilities amounted to SEK 43.2 billion on June 30, 2020 (43.0), whereof SEK 6.5 billion will expire in 2021 and 2022, SEK 15.7 billion in 2024 and SEK 21.0 billion in 2025.

During Q2 2020, a decision was made to call the first tranche (EUR 0.9 billion) of the hybrid bond with payment date on June 10, 2020. After the repayment, the hybrid bond consists of the second tranche (EUR 0.6 billion) with call date in Q1 2023.

Total assets in the Volvo Group decreased by SEK 3.4 billion compared to year-end 2019. Currency movements decreased total assets by SEK 11.9 billion.

On June 30, 2020 total equity for the Volvo Group amounted to SEK 141.3 billion compared to SEK 141.7 billion at year-end 2019. The equity ratio was 27.1% (27.0). On the same date the equity ratio in the Industrial Operations amounted to 34.7% (33.1).

Number of employees

On June 30, 2020, the Volvo Group had 97,076 employees, including temporary employees and consultants, which was a decrease of 10,253 employees compared with June 30, 2019. The number of blue-collar employees decreased by 6,420 while the number of white-collar employees decreased by 3,833.

During Q2 2020, the number of employees decreased by 1,960. The number of blue-collar employees decreased by 1,010 while the number of white-collar employees decreased by 950. The decrease in blue-collar employees is related to a reduction in production levels. The decrease in white-collar employees is related to reduced activity levels.

Number of employees Jun 30 2020 Mar 31 2020 Dec 31 2019 Jun 30 2019

Market development

In Q2, all major regions followed the same pattern due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Initial disruptions to the supply chains were followed by dropping fleet utilization and a significant drop in demand. During the course of the quarter there was a gradual return on all these parameters. The supply chain, including the Volvo Group's plants, was re-started in May after about a month of complete standstill. Production is currently running well. Following similar patterns, transport volumes have gradually recovered with an improved customer truck fleet utilization. However, high industry inventories of used trucks in many markets have led to declining prices.

At the end of June, utilization of the fleet of Volvo trucks in Europe was about 5% lower than in the beginning of the year. This was an improvement compared to April, when it was down about 20%. Truck registrations in Europe declined by 41% through May compared to the same period in 2019.

In North America and Brazil the truck markets were also significantly impacted in April, but have gradually improved since then with increased customer activity levels. Retail sales were down by 39% in North America as of June and registrations in Brazil were down by 17%.

The Indian truck market, which was impacted by the weak economic activity even before the COVID-19 outbreak, continued to decline sharply.

The Chinese truck market has gained momentum from subsidies to accelerate replacement of vehicles of lower-than-CN3 emission standards, as well as from governmental initiatives to stimulate the economy.

The Japanese truck market remained stable.

Orders and deliveries

Total net order intake in Q2 2020 decreased by 45% to 26,507 trucks while deliveries decreased by 57% to 28,033 trucks. Order intake was down by 90% in April compared to January but recovered later in the quarter. Order intake in June was 5% lower than in January.

In Europe, order intake of heavy- and medium-duty trucks decreased by 52% to 9,944 vehicles and deliveries decreased by 55% to 10,895 vehicles. Volvo Trucks' heavy-duty market share through May increased to 16.7% (15.3%) while Renault Trucks' market share was 8.4% (8.8).

North American order intake was down by 44% to 4,179 trucks while deliveries decreased by 79% to 3,925 trucks. Volvo Trucks' heavy-duty truck market share through June remained steady at 9.3% (9.4) while Mack Trucks' market share increased to 7.6% (6.4).

South American order intake decreased by 60% to 2,539 trucks while deliveries decreased by 57% to 2,411 vehicles. Volvo Trucks' market share in heavy-duty trucks in Brazil increased to 24.5% (20.9) through June.

In Asia, order intake decreased by 26% to 5,666 trucks while deliveries declined by 25% to 5,807 trucks. UD Trucks' heavy-duty truck market share in Japan through June declined to 16.9% (18.5).

The combination of tough market conditions in India early in the year followed by lockdowns caused VECV's deliveries to decline by 81% in Q2 2020.

On the back of a strong market, deliveries from DFCV in China increased by 12%.

Net sales and operating income

The truck operations' net sales amounted to SEK 40,595 M, which was 46% lower than in Q2 2019. Excluding currency effects, net sales were 45% lower with sales of vehicles decreasing by 54% and sales of services by 14%.

The adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 737 M (9,548) corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 1.8% (12.6). The adjustment of SEK 2,335 M in Q2 2020 refers to restructuring charges related to the previously announced cost-reduction measures.

Compared with Q2 2019, the lower adjusted operating income is mainly an effect of lower vehicle volumes, reduced capacity utilization in the industrial system and lower service sales as well as residual value and inventory write-downs due to lower used truck prices. This was partly offset by lower selling, R&D and administrative expenses, reflecting a lower activity level, as well as various governmental short-term layoff programs.

Compared with Q2 2019, currency movements had a positive impact of SEK 374 M. Reported operating income amounted to SEK -1,598 M (9,548).

Important events

UD Trucks expanded its heavy-duty truck range with the launch of a new, short-cab Quon, enabling more cargo to be carried and thereby higher customer productivity. The model has been available in Japan since June 1.

In July, it was decided to initiate a project to create a separate business unit for medium-duty trucks in Europe. Having a cross-functional team dedicated solely to medium-duty trucks will create the focus needed to increase the performance of this important business.

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Good profitability despite lower sales

  • Equipment sales down by 14% and service sales down by 11% currency-adjusted
  • Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 3,108 M (4,153) with a margin of 13.6% (15.5)

Market development

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created uncertainty among customers and dealers. This has resulted in significant drops in market volumes in Europe, North America and Asia outside of China.

Through May, the overall European market was down by 22%. Most major markets such as the UK, France, Germany and the Nordic region showed declines.

The North American market was also down by 22% mainly due to a decrease in demand for larger machines. In South America the market was 8% above last year although still at historically low levels.

In Asia (excluding China) the total market was down by 21%, whereas in China the market was up by 13% as the government's stimulus measures continued to boost demand after the COVID-19 lockdown in the first two months of the year.

Orders and deliveries

Order intake increased by 11% in Q2 with orders for SDLG-branded products being up by 31% and order intake for Volvo-branded products decreasing by 21%.

In Europe order intake was 51% lower with reduced end-customer demand in most key markets such as the UK, Germany, France and Russia. Dealers in Europe have been reducing their inventories and rental customers have postponed fleet renewal.

In North America, order intake was down by 85% as a consequence of large order intake at the end of 2019 as well as lower end-user demand and dealers reducing their rental fleets and inventories of machines.

In Asia order intake increased by 39%, driven by a 48% increase in China with strong demand for compact machines and larger excavators for both brands.

Most factories in Europe and the Americas were shut down for a month during Q2, due to country wide lockdowns as well as supply issues. Production in South

Korea continued to run in Q2 and in China production was ramped up to meet the increased demand.

Deliveries increased by 8% in Q2 with SDLG's deliveries being up 31% and deliveries of Volvo-branded machines being down 20%. Higher sales in China offset lower sales in all other markets.

Net sales and operating income

In Q2 net sales decreased by 15% to SEK 22,876 M (26,814). Adjusted for currency movements, net sales decreased by 14%. Despite machine volumes increasing by 8%, net sales declined by 14% currency-adjusted because of an unfavorable mix between large and compact machines. Service sales decreased by 11% currency-adjusted.

Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 3,108 M (4,153), excluding SEK 615 M in restructuring charges related to headcount reductions. The adjusted operating margin amounted to 13.6% (15.5). Compared to Q2 2019, adjusted operating income was negatively impacted by lower machine and service sales, which were partly offset by reduced cost levels. Currency movements had a negative impact of SEK 111 M. Reported operating income amounted to SEK 2,493 M (4,153).

Important events

In June, the Volvo CE-developed, battery-electric, autonomous load carrier won a Red Dot award for product design. With a 15 tonne hauling capacity, the cab-less carrier forms part of Volvo Autonomous Solutions' wider TARA transport solution concept. A series of carriers can be connected together to form a 'train' of machines, for maximum loading and hauling efficiency.

BUSES

Sharp drop in sales volumes and order intake

  • In Q2, vehicle sales decreased by 67% and service sales by 38%, currency-adjusted
  • Adjusted operating income of SEK -532 M (+403), with a margin of -16.6% (+4.5)
  • Order intake decreased by 55% driven by a collapse in demand for coaches

During Q2, the overall global bus market was severely affected by COVID-19. The decline in demand has affected all parts of the business, but with more limited impact on the transit bus market.

Compared to Q2 2019, net order intake decreased by 55% to 979 units. Demand was low in all regions, with the coach business accounting for the major part of the decline. Important orders in Q2 refer to 128 hybrid buses to Brussels, Belgium and 49 high-capacity electric articulated buses to Jönköping, Sweden.

Volvo Buses delivered 873 units in Q2, a decrease of 68%, mainly as a consequence of lockdowns disrupting both supply chains and demand, in particular for coaches.

In Q2, net sales decreased by 64% to SEK 3,199 M (8,885). Adjusted for currency movements, net sales decreased by 63%, whereof vehicle sales decreased by 67% and service sales by 38%.

Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK -532 M (+403), excluding SEK 85 M in restructuring charges

related to headcount reductions. The adjusted operating margin amounted to -16.6% (+4.5). Earnings were negatively impacted by lower vehicle and service volumes and lower capacity utilization in the industrial system, following low demand and production closures due to COVID-19. Strong cost reduction efforts and various governmental short-term layoff programs contributed to mitigate some of the shortfall in volumes and production. Compared to Q2 2019, currency movements had a negative impact on operating income in an amount of SEK 23 M. Reported operating income amounted to SEK -617 M (+403).

In April, Volvo Buses introduced the new Volvo S-Charge model range, where electric propulsion drives the hybrid buses at speeds up to 50 km/h. The buses can run in electric mode up to 1 km at a time. The upgrade also includes improved connectivity and Volvo's system for geo-fencing, Volvo Zone Management.

The marine leisure market had a solid start in 2020, but weakened during Q2 due to COVID-19. The charter market was most affected due to travel restrictions and lockdowns, which in turn impacted sales of sailing yachts and catamarans. The global marine commercial market remained stable, with positive trends especially in Asian markets.

The market for industrial off-road engines slowed down due to a decline in the construction and agriculture machinery segments in most markets except China. Demand for mining equipment was relatively stable. The industrial power generation market also decreased globally, especially in Europe.

Net order intake in Q2 decreased by $34\%$ to 6,351 units and deliveries decreased by $34\%$ to 6,944 units. Deliveries were affected by severe disruptions in the supply chain, although an improvement was noticed during the latter part of Q2 after the re-start of the Group's powertrain factories.

In Q2, net sales decreased by $32\%$ to SEK 2,507 M (3,667). Adjusted for currency movements, net sales decreased by $31\%$ , of which sales of engines decreased by $38\%$ and sales of services decreased by $13\%$ .

Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 345 M (618) excluding restructuring charges of SEK 50 M relating to headcount reductions. The adjusted operating margin was $13.7\%$ (16.9). Earnings were negatively affected by lower volumes and negative product mix, which were partly offset by actions to quickly reduce costs and various governmental short-term layoff programs. Compared with Q2 2019, the currency impact on operating income was positive in an amount of SEK 10 M. Reported operating income amounted to SEK 295 M (618).

During Q2, the company remotely commissioned a 600V electric driveline for Rosenbauer's 'Revolutionary Technology' fire truck, which has zero emissions and low noise. The truck will enter real-world testing with fire departments in Berlin, Amsterdam and Dubai later this year.

Increased provisions for expected credit losses

New business volume down $15\%$ in Q2 2020, currency-adjusted
Adjusted operating income of SEK 57 M (686)
Elevated contract modification levels

In Q2 2020, new business volume decreased by $15\%$ , currency adjusted, compared to last year as lower deliveries of Group products were partially offset by improved penetration levels. Adjusted for currency, the credit portfolio decreased slightly during the quarter, but remained $3\%$ higher compared to Q2 2019.

During the quarter, delinquencies in the credit portfolio have stabilized as VFS implemented numerous measures in order to support customers through the tough times and minimize losses. These include a significant level of contract modifications to allow for a few installment-free months.

Despite these measures, it is anticipated that many customers will face significant challenges in dealing with

img-6.jpeg

the impact of the severe economic contraction caused by the pandemic. VFS is preparing for increased collection activities and higher levels of repossessions are expected in the coming quarters. In Q2, credit reserves were increased in line with the expectations of higher write-offs. Against this background, VFS has executed a number of cost-saving measures.

As a result of higher provisions for expected credit losses, adjusted operating income decreased to SEK 57 M (686), excluding restructuring charges of SEK 45 M relating to headcount reductions. Reported operating income amounted to SEK 12 M (686).

During the quarter, SEK 1.2 (2.8) billion of assets were syndicated in order to reduce concentration risks.

On May 12, the Board of Directors of AB Volvo decided to withdraw the proposal to the Annual General Meeting for an ordinary dividend of SEK 5.50 per share and instead

proposed that no dividend for 2019 would be paid. The Volvo Group has a strong financial position. However, there was a general uncertainty created by COVID-19 and the effects on the Volvo Group from the measures taken in various countries to slow down the spread of the virus. As an effect the Board believed that it was appropriate, as a precautionary measure, to withdraw the dividend proposal.

During the second quarter, the group has evaluated the effects from the COVID-19 outbreak on the accounting principles applied as the pandemic is an event and indication that assets may be impaired. The accounting models applied and the assumptions used have been reviewed to ensure that the risks and uncertainties connected to the macroeconomic development are reflected. The main effects are related to increased allowance for inventory and expected credit losses on customer-financing receivables as well as additional depreciations and write-downs of assets connected to residual value commitments. An impairment test of goodwill has also been conducted, based on updated estimated future cash flows for the coming years and no impairment loss has been recognized.

NOTE 1 | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 and Sustainability Report 2019 (available at www.volvogroup.com). 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.

New accounting policies for 2020

As of January 1, 2020 the Volvo Group has changed the classification of certain costs related to commercial customer commitments, which now are recognized as Selling expenses

instead of as Cost of sales. This has caused a shift between the lines in the income statement for Industrial Operations as well as the Volvo Group, while Financial Services is not affected. As a consequence, Cost of sales has decreased and Selling expenses has increased by the corresponding amount, with no impact on the operating income.

The reclassification has been done retrospectively and the financial information for 2019 has been restated to facilitate the comparability between the years. Restated income statements for each quarter and for the full year 2019 are presented on page 34-36.

There are no other new accounting policies applicable from 2020 that significantly affects the Volvo Group.

NOTE 2 | RISKS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Each of the Volvo Group's Business Areas is responsible for its own risk management. In addition, the Volvo Group works with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), which is a systematic and structured framework to report and analyze risk assessments and mitigations as well as to follow-up on the risks that might impact the Group's business. The objective of the ERM framework is to improve business performance and to minimize the cost of managing risks; thus protecting the Group's enterprise value as well as enhancing and protecting the Group's assets. The risks within the Volvo Group are classified into four categories:

Strategic risks – such as technology shift and convergence, intense competition and extensive government regulations;

Operational risks – such as customer satisfaction, cyclical nature of the commercial vehicles industry, reliance on suppliers and scarce materials, disturbances and inefficiencies in the industrial system, risk related to human capital and human rights, residual value commitments, cybersecurity and IT infrastructure as well as political instability across the world;

Compliance risks – such as non-compliance with data protection laws, protection and maintenance of intangible assets, complaints and legal actions by customers and other

third parties, environmental regulations and corruption and non-compliance with competition law; and

Financial risks – such as insurance coverage, credit risk, pension commitments, interest level and currency fluctuations, liquidity risks, 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 102-109 in the Volvo Group Annual and Sustainability Report 2019 (available at www.volvogroup.com).

Risk updates

Short-term risks, when applicable, are also described in the respective segment section of this report.

The COVID-19 pandemic

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world has led to major disruptions in the economies of many countries, including the Group's key markets, and it is expected that economic activity will be negatively impacted in the coming quarters. This is expected to have an adverse effect on demand for the Group's products and services and on the financial performance of the Group. The duration and expected development of the COVID-19 pandemic is


Report on the second quarter 2020

unknown, and no predictions can be made in relation to the length of present, and further measures that different countries and others may take in response to the crisis. However, any prolongation or worsening of the virus outbreak may lead to e.g. the following:

  • the extension of containment measures and restrictions on freedom of movement in the Group's key markets,
  • key suppliers experiencing severe financial difficulties,
  • shortages of necessary material and parts from suppliers directly or indirectly affected by the virus outbreak that may in turn lead to supply chain disruptions and production downtimes,
  • a larger number of customers directly or indirectly affected by the virus outbreak having difficulties, or being prevented from, making payments to the Group when due,
  • further price pressure on new and used vehicles, which may give rise to write-downs or further reserve requirements with respect to vehicles in stock and residual value commitments,
  • impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets,
  • further disruption of financial markets and/or
  • a prolonged global economic downturn leading to a more severe reduction in demand for Group products.

Given the evolving nature of the crisis, the above list is not exhaustive, but each of these events, or any combination of them, could amplify the negative impact of the crisis on the Group's financial performance and have material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial development and shareholder value.

Detected premature degradation of emissions control component

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 gradually ramp up in the coming years. The Volvo Group will continuously assess the size of the provision as the matter develops.

Contingent liabilities

The reported amounts for contingent liabilities reflect a part of Volvo Group's risk exposure. Total contingent liabilities as of June 30, 2020, amounted to SEK 13.8 billion, an increase of SEK 0.1 billion compared to December 31, 2019. The gross exposure of SEK 13.8 billion is partly reduced by counter guarantees and collaterals.

Legal proceedings

Following the adoption of the European Commission's settlement decision, the Volvo Group has received and will be defending itself against numerous private damages claims brought by customers and other third parties alleging that they suffered loss by reason of the conduct covered in the decision. The claims are being brought in various countries by claimants either acting individually or as part of a wider group or class of claimants. Further claims are likely to be commenced. At this stage it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of any liability that could arise from any such proceedings. An adverse outcome of some or all of the litigations, depending on the nature and extent of such outcomes, may have a material impact on the Volvo Group's financial results.

The other legal proceedings and investigations described in note 21 and note 24 in the Volvo Group Annual and Sustainability Report 2019 are progressing. No material changes have occurred in these matters in Q2 2020.

NOTE 3 | REVENUE

The two major revenue streams within the Volvo Group are vehicles and services. Vehicles include sales of vehicles, machinery and engines. Revenue is recognized when the control of the vehicle has been transferred to the customer, normally at one point in time, which is when the vehicle has been delivered to the customer. If the sale of a vehicle is combined with a residual value commitment and there is a significant economic incentive for the customer to return the vehicle, the revenue is recognized over the residual value commitment period. Services include sale of spare parts, maintenance services and other aftermarket products. Revenue is recognized when the control of the service has been transferred to the customer, which is when the customer can benefit from the use of the delivered services.

For spare parts, revenue is normally recognized at one point in time, which is when it is delivered. For maintenance services and other aftermarket products, revenue is normally recognized over time, which is during the contract period. When payments for maintenance contracts are received in advance from the customers, the payments are recognized as contract liabilities. Income from operating leasing is recognized over the leasing period. Interest income related to finance leasing and installment credits is recognized as net sales within Financial Services during the underlying contract period.


Report on the second quarter 2020

NOTE 4 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS

Acquisitions and divestments

The Volvo Group has not made any acquisitions or divestments of operations during the second quarter that have had a significant impact on the Volvo Group.

Assets and liabilities held for sale

At the end of the second quarter, assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to SEK 36,676 M (32,773) and SEK 10,337 M (10,413) respectively. The assets and liabilities held for sale mainly relate to the intention to transfer ownership of the complete UD Trucks business globally from the Volvo Group to Isuzu Motors. Closing of the transaction is expected during the first half of 2021. The balances are impacted by changes in the underlying assets and liabilities as well as changes in currency.

NOTE 5 | CURRENCY AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value of financial instruments

Valuation principles and classifications of Volvo Group financial instruments, as described in Volvo Group Annual and Sustainability Report 2019 Note 30 (available at www.volvogroup.com), 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 5.0 billion (2.6) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to SEK 2.5 billion (2.5) as of June 30, 2020.

The derivatives are accounted for on gross-basis. Financial liabilities valued at amortized cost, reported as current and non-current bond loans and other loans, amounted to SEK 172.7 billion (155.9) in reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 174.2 billion (156.1). In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting to SEK 1.5 billion (1.9).

AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

AB Volvo (publ) org. no 556012-5790

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of AB Volvo (publ) as of June 30, 2020 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
