CEO'S COMMENTS Strong sales growth and profitability

The Volvo Group continued to perform well in Q2 2022 with strong growth and improved profitability. We increased our net sales by 31% to SEK 118.9 billion with good momentum both in the sales of vehicles and in the service business. The adjusted operating income rose to SEK 13.7 billion (9.7) and we achieved an adjusted operating margin of 11.6% (10.7). Also in this quarter, we have had extra costs related to supply chain disruptions as well as higher costs for material and have continued to work proactively and successfully with price management to mitigate these effects. Our return on capital employed reached 26.8% (23.4).

Our customers in most regions are benefiting from high transport and infrastructure activity, which continues to drive good demand for our products and services. This has resulted in extended order backlogs in many markets and lead times are long. To manage the quality in the order books and the cost inflation, we continue to be restrictive in slotting orders for production. The higher inflation and rising interest rates have also increased uncertainty about the macroeconomic outlook and we have high focus on flexibility to be able to adapt to any changes in demand. In this changing landscape, we are maneuvering from a position of strength. After having distributed SEK 26.4 billion in dividends to our shareholders, we continue to have a solid financial position and ended the quarter with a net cash position of SEK 44.2 billion in the Industrial Operations, excluding pensions and lease liabilities.

Thanks to hard work by our colleagues and supply chain partners, truck deliveries rose by 33% to almost 61,000 vehicles. We have a strong and competitive offer and our truck brands have gained market shares in most markets. The utilization of our customers' fleets continues to be high, which drives demand for spare parts and services. Our truck operation's net sales grew by 51% to SEK 78.6 billion, which is the highest quarterly sales ever. We achieved an adjusted operating margin of 12.2% (10.3).

For Volvo Construction Equipment, net sales were on par with last year. The downturn in China was compensated by growth in the rest of the world, primarily driven by strong sales in North and South America. Construction activity in most markets has remained on good levels, driven by both the commercial sector and the ongoing investments in infrastructure. There is a continued need to renew and expand an aging infrastructure in many countries across the world. In Q2, Volvo CE's net sales amounted to SEK 25.8 billion (25.8). The adjusted operating margin increased to 13.8% (13.1).

After a difficult period with limited travel due to the covid-19 pandemic, utilization of bus fleets is improving. In Q2, net sales in our bus segment increased by 7% from low levels and amounted to SEK 4.1 billion. Even with continued efforts to reduce the cost levels in recent years, profitability is still low with an adjusted operating margin of 0.2% (-0.2).

Volvo Penta continued to perform well with good demand for both marine and industrial engines. Net sales grew by

16% to SEK 4.6 billion, which is the highest ever for a single quarter. All markets contributed to the growth. The adjusted operating margin was 15.2% (15.6).

For our customer financing operations, Volvo Financial Services, new business volume continued to grow and good customer profitability in most regions was reflected in continued low credit losses.

Colleagues across the Volvo Group are doing an impressive job supplying our customers with vehicles and machines and supporting them with services. As in recent quarters, however, the situation in the global supply chain for semiconductors and other components continues to be unstable, characterized by disruptions, unpredictability and lack of freight capacity. We will therefore continue to have disruptions and stoppages both in the production of trucks and in other parts of the Group. The continuation of the covid-19 pandemic is putting an additional pressure on the already strained supply chain and production system.

Amidst these short-term challenges, we continue to invest for the future. We aim to lead the transition to a decarbonized transport system. Activity levels in this area are high. In Q2, Volvo Trucks started to test vehicles using fuel cells powered by hydrogen. To meet the growing demand for battery-electric vehicles and machines we are opening our very first assembly plant for battery packs in Ghent, Belgium. It will supply ready-to-install batteries for our fully electric products.

As spelled out on our Capital Markets Day in June, I am convinced that there are major business opportunities in the ongoing technology shift and that they will accelerate our sales growth. Over the last decade, we have established an industry-leading profitability and are now taking the next step on our strategic journey. Growth is expected to accelerate with the main driver being the higher value of the electric vehicles and machines. With electric vehicles there is a potential to increase the total vehicle and service revenues per unit by more than 50% over the lifecycle. Leveraging the Group's first-mover advantage to gain market shares and broadening the services offering are also expected to drive growth. We aim to lead the transformation and provide increased value for our customers and embark the Volvo Group on a growth journey driven by electrification, autonomous solutions and new productivity services. We are geared for growth.

Martin Lundstedt President and CEO

FINANCIAL SUMMARY OF THE SECOND QUARTER 2022

Net sales

In Q2 2022, the Volvo Group's net sales amounted to SEK 118,943 M compared with SEK 90,561 M in the same quarter the preceding year.

Adjusted for currency movements net sales increased by 20%, of which vehicle sales increased by 23% and service sales by 11%.

Operating income

In Q2 2022, adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 13,745 M (9,730), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 11.6% (10.7).

There were no adjustments to operating income in Q2 2022. Adjusted operating income in Q2 2021 excluded a capital gain of SEK 1,653 M from the sale of UD Trucks. For more information on adjusted operating income, please see Note 6.

Compared with Q2 2021, the higher adjusted operating income is mainly an effect of price realization and improved vehicle and service volumes. This was partly offset by higher material costs, increased selling and R&D expenses as well as higher freight costs.

Currency movements, compared with Q2 2021, had a positive impact of SEK 2,769 M.

Reported operating income in Q2 2022 amounted to SEK 13,745 M (11,384).

Financial items

In Q2 2022, interest income was SEK 182 M (88), whereas interest expenses amounted to SEK 277 M (264).

Other financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 222 M (57). The change is primarily due to revaluation effects of financial assets and liabilities.

Income taxes

In Q2 2022, income taxes amounted to SEK 3,352 M (2,202). The tax rate was 24% (20). The tax rate in Q2 2021 was impacted by the non-taxable income from the divestment of UD Trucks, lowering the effective tax rate by approximately 3 percentage points.

Income for the period and earnings per share

In Q2 2022, income for the period amounted to SEK 10,520 M (9,064). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 5.14 (4.38).

Operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations

During Q2 2022, operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations amounted to SEK 7,199 M (5,932). Compared with Q2 2021, the higher operating cash flow is primarily related to the improved operating income, which was partly offset by an increase in working capital.

Volvo Group financial position

During Q2 2022, net financial assets in the Industrial Operations, excluding provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, decreased by SEK 15.3 billion resulting in a net financial asset position of SEK 44.2 billion on June 30, 2022. The change is mainly explained by the dividend paid to AB Volvo shareholders of SEK 26.4 billion and the positive operating cash flow of SEK 7.2 billion. Currency movements increased net financial assets by SEK 2.1 billion.

Including provisions for post-employment benefits and lease liabilities, the Industrial Operations net financial assets amounted to SEK 38.0 billion on June 30, 2022. During Q2 2022, remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans had a positive impact of SEK 6.9 billion, resulting in net value of pension assets of SEK 0.2 billion. The positive remeasurements were primarily an effect of significantly higher discount rates in all countries partly offset by higher inflation assumptions increasing the pension liabilities and lower return on assets.

Total assets in the Volvo Group increased by SEK 57.8 billion compared to year-end 2021, whereof SEK 38.9 billion is related to currency movements.

On June 30, 2022, total equity for the Volvo Group amounted to SEK 155.5 billion compared with SEK 144.1 billion at year-end 2021. The equity ratio was 27.1% (27.9). On the same date the equity ratio in the Industrial Operations amounted to 35.4% (34.9).

Number of employees

On June 30, 2022, the Volvo Group had 101,484 employees, including temporary employees and consultants, compared with 93,072 employees on June 30, 2021. The number of blue-collar employees increased by 3,824 and the number of white-collar employees by 4,588. The increase in blue-collar employees is related to higher production levels and the increase in white-collar employees is related to higher development and transformational activities.

TRUCKS

Strong execution in challenging times

  • Net sales in Q2 increased by 51% to SEK 78,603 M

  • Total order intake decreased by 8% while deliveries increased by 33% in Q2
  • Order intake for fully-electric trucks increased to 1,097 (194) vehicles while deliveries increased to 216 (98) vehicles

Market development

In Q2 2022, demand for both new and used vehicles continued to be strong in Europe and North America on the back of high freight volumes and freight rates. The truck fleet utilization rate remained on a high level which drove demand for service.

In Brazil, high transport volumes were primarily driven by commodities, mainly related to mining and agriculture.

Demand for trucks in India continued to grow in Q2 supported by the need to modernize the fleet.

The Chinese truck market continued to decline because of lower economic activity and effects from recent lockdowns in several provinces.

Orders and deliveries

In Q2, demand continued to be stronger than supply due to constrained global supply chains. Furthermore, the Volvo Group continued to be restrictive in order placement due to large order books, long delivery times and high cost inflation. In Q2, net order intake decreased by 8% to 53,388 trucks while deliveries increased by 33% to 60,833 trucks.

In Europe, order intake declined by 25% to 26,595 vehicles due to restrictive order-slotting for 2023. However, deliveries increased by 27% to 29,809 vehicles. Volvo Trucks' total heavy-duty market share through May increased to 19.3% (15.1) while the electric heavy-duty

market share declined to 36.9% (43.5). Renault Trucks' heavy-duty total market share increased to 9.6% (8.4) while the electric heavy-duty market share decreased to 18.8% (22.2).

Order intake in North America increased by 26% to 9,731 trucks while deliveries increased by 53% to 15,073 vehicles. Volvo Trucks' heavy-duty truck market share through May increased to 10.5% (9.7) while Mack Trucks' market share decreased to 5.8% (7.1).

South American order intake increased by 14% to 9,336 trucks and deliveries increased by 24% to 8,380 vehicles. In Brazil, Volvo Trucks' heavy-duty trucks market share through June increased to 25.8% (20.9).

In Asia, order intake increased by 50% to 4,883 vehicles driven by the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Deliveries increased by 38% to 4,718 vehicles.

In Q2, order intake for fully-electric trucks amounted to 1,097 (194) vehicles while deliveries amounted to 216 (98) vehicles.

The Indian joint venture, VE Commercial Vehicles, increased order intake by 162% to 13,726 vehicles and deliveries by 148% to 13,279 vehicles. On the other hand, deliveries from the Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, declined by 71% to 23,262 vehicles.

Market forecasts are based on current visibility, which is low. Uncertainty is significant due to inability to predict supply chain capacity, the ongoing covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Total market development First six months Change Forecast Full year Change vs. previous

Net sales and operating income

In Q2 2022, the truck operation's net sales amounted to SEK 78,603 M, which was 51% higher than in Q2 2021. Deliveries and net sales in Q2 2021 were impacted by halts in truck production of almost a month. Excluding currency effects, net sales increased by 39% with sales of vehicles increasing by 48% and sales of services by 10%.

Adjusted operating income increased to SEK 9,551 M (5,350), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 12.2% (10.3). There were no adjustments in Q2 2022. In Q2 2021, adjusted operating income excluded a capital gain of SEK 1,653 M from the sale of UD Trucks. For more information on adjusted operating income, see note 6.

Compared with Q2 2021, the adjusted operating income was positively impacted by price realization as well as increased vehicle and service volumes. Higher material costs, lower earnings in joint ventures and increased selling and R&D expenses had a negative impact. Compared with Q2 2021, currency movements had a positive impact of SEK 1,143 M.

Reported operating income amounted to SEK 9,551 M (7,004).

Important events

In May, Volvo Group opened its very first assembly plant for battery packs. Located in Ghent, Belgium, the plant will supply ready-to-install batteries for fully electric heavy-duty trucks and other Group products.

As the world's first truck manufacturer to do so, Volvo Trucks will introduce fossil-free steel in frame rails in its battery-electric trucks. The steel is produced by the Swedish company SSAB.

In June, Volvo Trucks showcased a new zero-emission fuel-cell truck powered by hydrogen. The fuel cells were supplied by cellcentric, the joint venture between the Volvo Group and Daimler Truck AG, which intends to build one of Europe's largest series-production facilities for fuel cells specially developed for heavy vehicles.

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Solid performance despite lower deliveries

  • Deliveries down by 27% in Q2, primarily due to the market decline in China
  • Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 3,568 M (3,374), with a margin of 13.8% (13.1)
  • Service sales increased by 5%, adjusted for currency

Market development

Overall, the total market growth outside China moderated in Q2. However, demand in the commodity segments and in infrastructure construction continued to be good.

Construction activity in both Europe and North America remained high in Q2. However, total market deliveries were impacted by limited machine availability because of supply chain constraints.

The South American market remained on a favorable trend, with demand for commodities on a high level.

The Chinese market declined further compared with the high levels of the prior year due to lower economic activity combined with restrictions and lockdowns related to covid-19. The pricing pressure, primarily on excavators, remains.

Asia outside of China was on the same level as the prior year, with solid growth in key markets supported by government stimulus and high commodity prices, while India declined mainly due to price increases on models complying with the new emission standard.

Customer delivery of the world's first construction machine using fossil-free steel.

Orders and deliveries

In Q2 2022, net order intake declined by 42% as a consequence of the continued decline in China and high order intake during Q2 2021. Order intake was also negatively impacted by restrictive order-slotting due to large order books and long lead times. In Europe, order intake was also impacted by the halted sales in Russia.

In Q2 2022, deliveries decreased by 27% with a negative impact from lower volumes in China, halted deliveries to Russia and effects from a strained supply chain. Deliveries of Volvo branded machines were on the same level as in the prior year, whereas deliveries of SDLG branded machines declined by 41%.

Market forecasts are based on current visibility, which is low. Uncertainty is significant due to inability to predict supply chain capacity, the ongoing covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Net sales and operating income

In Q2 2022, net sales were flat at SEK 25,814 M (25,839). Adjusted for currency movements net sales decreased by 9%, of which net sales of machines declined by 11% while service sales increased by 5%.

Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 3,568 M (3,374), corresponding to an operating margin of 13.8% (13.1). Operating income was positively impacted by mix effects and price realization, which were partially offset by increased material costs as well as both lower volumes and capacity utilization in the industrial system in China. Compared with Q2 2021, currency movements had a positive impact of SEK 1,319 M.

Important events

In early June, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) became the first manufacturer to deliver a construction machine built using fossil-free steel to a customer. The handover took place at the United Nations Stockholm 50+ event.

In the quarter, the Volvo Days returned to Eskilstuna, Sweden for the first time in four years. Over 7,000 customers visited Eskilstuna where both today's and tomorrow's products and services were showcased.

Volvo CE also announced an investment in Dutch firm Limach, a manufacturer of electric excavators for the domestic market. The majority investment complements Volvo CE's long-term electrification roadmap and provides the opportunity to swiftly broaden the electromobility portfolio.

BUSES

Improved order intake and deliveries

  • Order intake increased by 44% and deliveries by 22% in Q2
  • Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 7 M (-9) with a margin of 0.2% (-0.2)
  • Currency-adjusted service sales increased 24%

In Q2, demand continued to improve, especially for services and coaches. Activity in the city and transit bus markets also continued to improve, primarily in South America.

Compared with Q2 2021, net order intake increased by 44% to 1,422 units. Volvo Buses received significant orders of 100 articulated buses for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and 50 coaches for Prevost in Canada. Good order intake was also noticed in UK, Chile and Spain. Deliveries amounted to 1,295 units, 22% more than in Q2 2021.

Net sales in Q2 increased by 7% to SEK 4,062 M (3,811). Adjusted for currency movements, net sales decreased by 2%, with vehicle sales decreasing by 8% and service sales increasing by 24%. The decreased sales

of vehicles is related to product mix, with a lower volume of high-value vehicles.

Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 7 M (-9), corresponding to an operating margin of 0.2% (-0.2). Earnings were favorably impacted by increased service and vehicle volumes as well as price realization, which were offset by an unfavorable product mix, higher material costs and increased selling and R&D expenses. Compared with Q2 2021, currency movements had a positive impact on operating income of SEK 39 M.

In June, Volvo Buses launched a new, powerful and fuel-saving platform for the premium coach range and chassis. The new platform will reduce fuel consumption by up to 9%, thereby reducing customers' operational costs significantly as well as reducing emissions.

VOLVO PENTA

Highest net sales ever

  • In Q2, net sales increased by 16%
  • Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 699 M (617) with a margin of 15.2% (15.6)
  • Deliveries decreased by 1% and order intake by 25%

The market remained strong in all segments during Q2. However, production capacity constraints hampered order intake. This is a combination of continued challenges in the supply chain and of some customers waiting to place orders due to long lead times. Nevertheless, sales reached record levels in Q2.

In Q2, net order intake decreased by 25% to 9,641 units and deliveries decreased by 1% to 11,601 units.

Net sales increased by 16% to SEK 4,597 M (3,967). Adjusted for currency movements, net sales increased by 9%, of which sales of engines increased by 11% and sales of services by 5%.

Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 699 M (617), corresponding to an operating

margin of 15.2% (15.6). Operating income was positively impacted by price realization, which was offset by higher material and freight costs as well as increased selling and R&D expenses. Compared with Q2 2021, currency had a positive impact on operating income in an amount of SEK 187 M.

During Q2, Volvo Penta's electric driveline powering the Rosenbauer city firetruck was introduced to the US market. On the marine side, the Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system was launched as a retrofit upgrade offer. In addition, the D13 engine package was extended to meet Tier III emission regulations for commercial marine high-speed vessels.

Increased new business volume

  • In Q2, new business volume increased 13%, adjusted for currency
  • Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 792 M (913)
  • Stable portfolio performance

In Q2 2022, new business volume was up by 13%, currency adjusted, over Q2 2021 due primarily to higher deliveries and unit prices of Group products. Adjusted for currency, the credit portfolio grew by 12% on a year-overyear basis. Portfolio performance was stable in most parts of the world due to continued strong demand for transportation and construction services.

Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to SEK 792 M (913). In Q2 2021, an accounting change had a positive impact of SEK 190 M on both credit

provision expenses and adjusted operating income. Excluding the change in accounting, the increase in operating income is primarily a result of profitable portfolio growth. This was partly offset by higher selling expenses. Compared with Q2 2021, currency movements had a positive impact of SEK 128 M.

Return on shareholders' equity excluding the adjustments related to Russia recorded in Q1 2022 increased to 17.5% (14.0).

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 2021 (available at www.volvogroup.com). There are no new accounting policies applicable from 2022 that significantly 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.

NOTE 2 | RISKS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Each of the Volvo Group's Business Areas and Truck Divisions monitors and manages risks in its operations. In addition, the Volvo Group utilizes a centralized Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) reporting process, which is a systematic and structured framework for reporting and reviewing risk assessments and mitigations as well as for follow-up on identified risks.

The ERM process classifies Volvo Group risks into five categories:

Macro and market related risks – such as the cyclical nature of the commercial vehicles industry, intense competition, extensive government regulations, political instability and security;

Operational risks – such as transformation and technology risk, new business models, risks related to industrial operations, reliance on suppliers and scarce materials, cost inflation and price increases, cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, strategic transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships and divestments as well as residual value commitments;

Climate and people risks – such as pandemics, climate and risk related to people and culture as well as human rights; Compliance risks – such as non-compliance with data protection laws, protection and maintenance of intangible assets, legal proceedings and corruption and noncompliance 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 70-75 in the Volvo Group Annual and Sustainability Report 2021.

Risk updates

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

Update on supply situation and inflationary pressure

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 semiconductors and other materials and components, shortages of transport services and developments of the covid-19 pandemic and response measures taken. In addition, the war in Ukraine and ensuing sanctions may also impact our supply chain and industrial system. There will 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 is experiencing 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.

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. These have previously had an adverse effect on demand for the Group's products and services and on the financial performance of the Group and depending on the developments of the pandemic, it cannot be excluded that a similar situation would occur again.

The duration and expected development of the covid-19 pandemic is unknown, and no predictions can be made in relation to future impacts. A prolongation or worsening of the virus outbreak would, however, be expected to negatively affect the Group's financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business and financial development.

Accounts receivable

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 are normally related to customers in this market. The weakened Chinese construction equipment market may negatively impact customers' and dealers' ability to honor their obligations to the Group and consequently have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial result and position.

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

Financial impact from the war in Ukraine

Since the war in Ukraine started and sanctions were imposed, all Volvo Group sales, service and production in Russia have been suspended. In Q1 2022, the Group reported that SEK 4.1 billion out of the Group's at that time total assets of approximately SEK 9 billion related to Russia had been provisioned for and impacted operating income negatively in Q1 2022. As of the end of this quarter, the Group's total exposure for additional impairment needs related to Russia largely remains unchanged. In 2021,

approximately 3% of the Group's net sales were attributable to Russia.

The Group follows developments closely, but the situation with rapid and sometimes unpredictable changes may persist. No predictions can hence be made on the full impact from the war and ensuing sanctions on Group's assets in the region or on the general economic development. Further write-downs of the Group's assets related to Russia may be necessary in the coming periods, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Group's financial result, cash flow and financial position.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The reported amounts for contingent liabilities reflect a part of Volvo Group's risk exposure. Total contingent liabilities as of June 30, 2022, amounted to SEK 19.4 billion, an increase of SEK 1.4 billion compared to December 31, 2021. The gross exposure of SEK 19.4 billion is partly reduced by counter guarantees and collaterals.

Legal proceedings

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 issued 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 are being brought in various countries (including EU Member States, the United Kingdom and Israel) by large numbers of 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. However, the litigation is substantial in scale and an 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.

NOTE 3 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS

The Volvo Group has not made any acquisitions or divestments of operations during Q2 that have had a significant impact on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 | 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 2021 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 4.5 billion (3.5) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to SEK 7.1 billion (2.4) as of June 30, 2022.

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 186.0 billion (151.5) in reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 184.4 billion (152.9). In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting to SEK 6.1 billion (2.2).

AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

AB Volvo (publ) org. nr 556012-5790

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of AB Volvo (publ) as of June 30, 2022 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.
