VOLVO GROUP
THE FIRST QUARTER 2026
3 CEO'S COMMENTS
A good start to the year amid geopolitical turmoil
"We focus on what we can impact and stay close to our customers and business partners to continue to drive resilience and growth."
In Q1 2026, the Volvo Group demonstrated continued resilience and operational strength, achieving solid profitability with an adjusted operating margin of 11.0% even as market volumes were lower compared to last year. Performance was good across all our business areas. Despite the ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, customer confidence in our products and services remained strong, reflected in good order intake and low cancellations throughout the quarter.
The Group had net sales of SEK 110.8 billion (121.8), with increased sales in Europe and Africa and Oceania, but with lower sales in the Americas and Asia. Our organic sales growth was 2%, with vehicle sales being at the same level as last year, but with very strong service sales that increased by 6%. Despite lower volumes, we maintained our earnings resilience with an adjusted operating margin of 11.0% (10.9) supported by good development in the service business and cost control. Return on capital employed in Industrial Operations decreased to 24.5% (31.8). The operating cash flow of SEK 0.4 billion in Industrial Operations was affected by normal seasonal buildup of working capital and was slightly lower than in 2025. We ended the quarter with a net cash position of SEK 56.8 billion.
In Q1, order intake for trucks increased by 14% to 62,755 vehicles. Demand in Europe continued to grow gradually, while order intake increased significantly in both North and South America. We have made some upward adjustments to our truck market forecast for Europe and Brazil, while we keep the North American forecast unchanged. Total truck deliveries decreased by 3% to 47,504 vehicles. A strong delivery pace in Europe was offset by a number of stop weeks in our North American production system as well as lower deliveries in South America and Asia. Given the recent increase in orders in North America, production there will be in better balance from May. Net sales in our truck business amounted to SEK 75.4 billion (82.2), with vehicle sales decreasing by 3% organically, but with the service business growing by 7% supported by continued good utilization of the truck fleets in most markets. The adjusted operating margin was stable at 10.1% (10.3).
With the new lineup of on-highway trucks in North America now complete and in production, we continued the comprehensive product renewal with the launch of an all-new version of the iconic vocational truck Mack Granite and the new Mack Keystone. In Europe, Volvo Trucks launched new Volvo FH, FM and FMX Electric models with improved performance, flexibility and ranges of up to 470 km. We also announced a new long-distance electric truck, the Volvo FH Aero Electric with extended range, capable of driving up to 700 km on one charge. The new trucks will be rolled out step by step to markets starting in 2026. We are also pushing ahead with hydrogen solutions and have begun on-road testing of heavy-duty trucks powered by hydrogen combustion engines, with commercial launch expected towards the end of this decade.
The global construction equipment market continued to grow in Q1. Deliveries of Volvo branded machines were up by 12%, with higher volumes in Europe, Asia, and Africa and Oceania, which were partially offset by somewhat weaker volumes in North and South America. Volvo Construction Equipment had net sales of SEK 18.3 billion, with an organic sales growth of 14% supported by a good underlying development for both Volvo machines and service sales. The adjusted operating margin improved to 13.6% (12.0). Order intake for the Volvo brand was on the same level as in Q1 2025.
In Q1, we completed the acquisition of Volvo CE's dealer Swecon, with operations in Sweden, Germany and the Baltics. This is a strategic move that strengthens our retail operations and service sales in key markets and thus makes retail core for Volvo CE in Europe. We also announced that we will close the loss-making Rokbak business and concentrate resources on our other hauling solutions.
Volvo Buses continued the strong performance of recent quarters, despite lower demand in certain key markets. Net sales amounted to SEK 5.6 billion, with an organic sales growth of 11%. The adjusted operating margin improved to 8.8% (6.6).
Volvo Penta had a good performance in both the industrial and marine segments, with an organic sales growth of 13%. Volvo Penta has expanded its power generation offering for mission-critical applications such as data centers. Both engine volumes and service sales were strong. Volvo Penta reported net sales of SEK 5.3 (5.0) billion and improved the adjusted operating margin to 19.8% (18.3).
For Volvo Financial Services, the portfolio performance continued to be good although delinquencies and write-offs continued to be higher than last year. The adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 0.9 billion (1.0).
While the recent geopolitical turmoil, and the Middle East conflict, have not caused any major disruptions in our supply chain, we are keeping a watchful eye on whether they will begin to affect demand and the global economy more broadly. With our flexible business model, strong market positions and disciplined cost control, we are well positioned to navigate potential swings in demand. We focus on what we can impact and stay close to our customers and business partners to continue to drive resilience and growth based on a continued sound capital allocation.

VOLVO GROUP THE FIRST QUARTER 2026
4 IMPORTANT EVENTS
Volvo CE's acquisition of Swecon completed
On February 1, it was announced that Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) had completed the previously announced acquisition of Swecon, following approval from the European Commission. Volvo CE acquired Swecon's business operations in Sweden, Germany and the Baltics including Entrack, at an enterprise value of SEK 7 billion.
Volvo Group, Renault Group and CMA-CGM in agreement on strategic change for Flexis
On February 23, Volvo Group, Renault Group and CMA-CGM announced that they had made an agreement to make a strategic change to the business model of Flexis. Renault will buy Volvo's 45% and CMA-CGM's 10% ownership in Flexis S.A.S. Volvo Group, through Renault Trucks, will remain a partner and investor in the project and will distribute Flexis developed products from 2027. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval. The transaction has no material impact on the Volvo Group's earnings.
Volvo Construction Equipment announced closure of Rokbak business
On March 17, it was announced that Volvo Construction Equipment, as part of a long-term strategic shift and due to the unsustainable profitability of the Rokbak business will close this business and concentrate resources on its portfolio of other hauling solutions. The business had revenues of SEK 1.0 billion in 2025 and was loss-making. The closure of the business negatively impacted operating income in the Construction Equipment segment by SEK 678 M in Q1 2026.
Toyota Motor Corporation aims to join Volvo Group and Daimler Truck as equal shareholder in the fuel cell joint venture cellcentric
On March 31, Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, cellcentric and Toyota Motor Corporation announced that they had signed a non-binding agreement to cooperate in the fuel cell system joint venture cellcentric. The three companies intend to collaborate based on an equal shareholding, with Toyota as the third joint venture partner to cellcentric. The combination of the parties' complementary experience and know-how will support and accelerate their joint objective to develop, produce and commercialize fuel cell systems for heavy-duty vehicles and other heavy-duty applications with comparable requirements. Additionally, Toyota and cellcentric intend to jointly manage the development and production of fuel cell unit cells, the core component of fuel cell systems, and directly linked architecture and control elements with the aim of creating competitive products based on the technologies of both companies.

Q1
5 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Net sales
In Q1 2026, the Volvo Group's net sales decreased by 9% to SEK 110,765 M compared with SEK 121,792 M in the same quarter the preceding year. Net sales increased in Europe as well as in Africa and Oceania, but decreased in the other regions.
The organic sales growth was 2%, with vehicle sales being at the same level as in the prior year and with service sales increasing by 6%.
Operating income
In Q1 2026, adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 12,167 M (13,258), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 11.0% (10.9). Compared with Q1 2025, adjusted operating income was negatively affected by increased net US tariff costs, freight costs and under absorption in the US manufacturing system, which were partially offset by an improved service business, lower R&D expenses and a favorable product and market mix.
Compared with Q1 2025, the net tariff impact was SEK 1 billion negative, with about half impacting Construction Equipment.
Compared with Q1 2025, currency movements had a negative impact of SEK 1,112 M.
In Q1 2026, costs of SEK 1,490 M were excluded from adjusted operating income, of which SEK 678 M related to the closing of the Rokbak business and SEK 812 M related to Group-wide cost savings, mainly driven by headcount reductions of approximately 900 employees primarily in Sweden and the US during 2026. Of the costs related to Rokbak, SEK 398 M are non-cash items. There were no adjustments in Q1 2025. For more information on adjusted operating income, please see Note 6. Reported operating income amounted to SEK 10,678 M (13,258).
Financial items
In Q1 2026, interest income was SEK 418 M (638), whereas interest expenses amounted to SEK -424 M (-409).
Other financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 91 M (-632). The change is primarily due to revaluation effects of financial assets and liabilities.
Income taxes
In Q1 2026, income taxes amounted to SEK -2,445 M (-2,871). The effective tax rate was 22.7% (22.3).
Income for the period and earnings per share

Operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations
During Q1 2026, operating cash flow in the Industrial Operations was positive in an amount of SEK 432 M (1,309). Compared with Q1 2025, the decreased operating cash flow is primarily an effect of the lower operating income, which was partially offset by a lower build-up of working capital.

Continued strengthening of the North American business offering
- In Q1, net order intake increased by 14% while deliveries decreased by 3%
- Adjusted operating income of SEK 7,586 M (8,464), with a margin of 10.1% (10.3)
- Service sales increased by 7% organically
Market development
In Q1, the European truck market continued to be replacement-driven on the back of good freight activity and increasing manufacturing PMI's. Through March, European heavy-duty truck registrations increased by 7% compared with the prior year.
The US freight environment remained weak. Recent spot freight rate increases appear to be driven by capacity normalization rather than freight demand. Construction spending is on the same level as in the previous year, which brings some stability to the demand for construction trucks. The total North American market through March was 23% lower than in the prior year.
As the conflict in the Middle East emerged it increased fuel costs and brought some uncertainty among customers. While transport operators initially absorbed the higher fuel costs, these are increasingly being passed on to end customers.
The Brazilian truck market declined by 21% compared with the prior year due to high interest rates, US tariffs and increased energy costs. Governmental interest-rate subsidies bring some support to demand and have helped reduce dealer inventories.
Demand in India grew in Q1, continuing the strong momentum seen in recent quarters. Growth was supported by a steady freight activity, continued investments in infrastructure, and healthy replacement demand.
The Chinese market grew by 15% compared with Q1 2025. Demand for diesel trucks declined because of higher fuel prices, while relatively inexpensive natural gas and stable electricity prices have increased demand for natural gas and battery-electric trucks.
Orders and deliveries
In Q1, total net order intake increased by 14% year over year and reached 62,755 trucks while deliveries decreased by 3% to 47,504 units. Deliveries of heavy-duty trucks decreased by 5%.

15 VOLVO PENTA
Strong performance in both industrial and marine segments
- In Q1, order intake decreased by 19% while deliveries increased by 19%
- Adjusted operating income of SEK 1,044 M (915), with a margin of 19.8%
- Strong sales volumes in the industrial business, in both power generation and off-highway applications driven by Europe and China
In the industrial business, off-highway order intake was stable based on improved market conditions in material handling and mining. In power generation, North America demand remained strong, supported by data center applications while other regions were negatively impacted by developments in the Middle East. In marine leisure, order intake improved, supported by a continued recovery in consumer sentiment. Demand in the yacht segment remained strong, while a slower start in North America led to somewhat lower order intake in the marine commercial segment.
In Q1, deliveries increased by 19% to 10,383 units, while net order intake decreased by 19% to 9,892 units following strong power generation order intake in Q1 last year and a negative impact from the development in the Middle East. Net sales increased by 5% to SEK 5,272 M (5,004). The organic sales growth was 13%, driven by a 14% increase in engine sales and a 10% increase in services sales. The strong volumes in the industrial business were primarily driven by Europe and China.
Adjusted operating income amounted to SEK 1,044 M (915),
corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 19.8% (18.3). Operating income was positively affected by higher volumes and an improved service business, which were partially offset by a negative market, customer and product mix as well as net US tariff costs. Compared with Q1 2025, the currency impact on operating income was negative in the amount of SEK 145 M.
In Q1, costs of SEK 6 M were excluded from adjusted operating income. There were no adjustments in Q1 2025. For more information on adjusted operating income, please see note 6. Reported operating income amounted to SEK 1,038 M (915).
In Q1, Volvo Penta was recognized for its leadership in marine innovation with its Hybrid Electric IPS propulsion named Technical Development of the Year at the Motor Boat Awards 2026.
Commercial deliveries of the new hybrid IPS offer for the yacht sector are planned to begin later in 2026. Following its introduction in January, the new G17 natural gas engine attracted strong market interest, reinforcing Volvo Penta's expanded power generation offering for mission-critical applications such as data centers.

VOLVO GROUP THE FIRST QUARTER 2026
26 NOTES
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 Report 2025 (available at www.volvogroup.com). There are no new accounting policies applicable from 2026 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.
NOTE 2 | RISKS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Each one of the Volvo Group's Business Areas, Divisions and Group Functions 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, political and social uncertainty, the introduction of tariffs as well as uncertain developments in global trade policies;
Operational risks – such as transformation and technology risk, new business models, risks related to supply chain and industrial operations, tariffs, 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, tax 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 section Risks and uncertainties on pages 60-67 in the Volvo Group Annual Report 2025.
Risk updates
Short-term risks, when applicable, are also described in the respective segment section of this report.
Tariffs and trade policy shifts
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 future developments remain uncertain, including whether trade restrictions may impact the Group more severely than its 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.
Macro and market developments
Heightened international tension and conflicts, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, as well as 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 uncertainty in the market 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 these developments could, individually or in combination, have a material adverse effect on the Group's business and financial performance.
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 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, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East 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.
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
27 NOTES
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 2025, approximately three-quarters of the initial provision had been utilized. The Volvo Group will continuously assess the size of the provision as the matter develops.
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 March 31, 2026, amounted to SEK 15.5 billion, an increase of SEK 1.0 billion compared with December 31, 2025. The gross exposure of SEK 15.5 billion is partially reduced by counter guarantees and collaterals.
In February 2026, the US supreme court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the US administration to impose tariffs, thus IEEPA duties already collected shall be refunded by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In addition, US manufacturers assembling medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) domestically may apply to receive an import adjustment offset related to Section 232 MHDVP tariffs, effective November 1, 2025. At present, there is a lack of clarity in the process to pursue tariff refunds retroactively. Given all uncertainties, it is premature to recognize any financial impact from these measures in Q1 2026.
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 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.
NOTE 3 | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
Acquisitions and divestments
On January 31, 2026, the Volvo Group completed the acquisition of Swecon, which comprises Swecon's operations in Sweden, Germany and the Baltics, including Entrack. The purchase price amounted to SEK 7.3 bn before adjustment of actual closing balances. The Volvo Group has made a preliminary purchase price allocation of identified assets and liabilities, which is expected to be finalized within 12 months from the acquisition date. The
purchase price represents the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, consisting mainly of tangible assets (SEK 2.6 bn), inventory (SEK 1.4 bn) and surplus values related to customer relationships (SEK 0.8 bn) and brand (SEK 0.2 bn). The identified intangible assets will be amortized within four years. The residual amount of SEK 4.0 bn has been recognized as goodwill, which represents the acquired market position, future customers, the assembled and skilled workforce and anticipated synergies arising
28 NOTES
from the business combination. As the Volvo Group was and remains Swecon's main supplier, the relationship between the parties will be internal going forward. For the full year of 2025, Swecon's revenues amounted to SEK 10 bn. Transactions between Volvo Construction Equipment and Swecon after the acquisition will be eliminated within the Volvo Group. The acquired operation is recognized in the segment Construction Equipment.
The Volvo Group has not completed any other acquisitions or
divestments of operations during the first quarter that have had a material impact on the financial statements.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
Assets and liabilities held for sale amounted to net SEK 1,755 M (–) as of March 31, 2026, which is related to the planned divestment of the Volvo Group's ownership of 45% in the joint venture Flexis SAS to Renault Group.
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 Report 2025 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, classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives with positive fair values amounted to SEK 6.0 billion (7.6) and derivatives with negative fair values amounted to SEK
2.7 billion (1.8) as of March 31, 2026. Derivatives are accounted for on gross basis.
Financial liabilities valued at amortized cost, reported as non-current and current bond loans and other loans, amounted to SEK 255.8 billion (247.0) in reported carrying value with a fair value of SEK 255.1 billion (247.4). In the Volvo Group consolidated financial position, financial liabilities include loan-related derivatives with negative fair values amounting to SEK 1.8 billion (1.1).

34 KEY RATIOS
The Volvo Group uses key ratios with the aim to provide valuable information to management, investors and analysts when analyzing trends and financial performance of the Group. The key ratios are not defined by IFRS, unless otherwise stated, and may differ from similar measures used by other companies and are therefore not always comparable. The measures should be considered as a complement to, and not a substitute for, the
financial information presented in compliance with IFRS. If the reconciliation of significant key ratios is not directly reflected in the financial report, a separate reconciliation is presented below. Definitions and reason for use are presented in the Key Ratios section on pages 216-220 in the Volvo Group Annual Report 2025.
