Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.On May 8, 2026, Autoliv, Inc. (the “Company”) management approved a plan to close its manufacturing plants in Türkiye, which manufacture steering wheels, airbags, and seatbelts. Autoliv expects to incur a final pre-tax charge of approximately $142 million to implement these capacity alignments, the majority of which is expected to be recorded in the second quarter of 2026, of which $13 million is expected to be a non-cash charge from fixed asset and inventory write-offs. Cash charges of approximately $129 million are primarily for severance and employee retention costs and immaterial amounts for environmental related expenses, equipment decommissioning, and contractual releases. Management determined that manufacturing capacity in the EMEA region exceeds future demand. As a result of the closures, Autoliv expects to realize an estimated pre-tax benefit of $40 million annually, beginning in 2027 but fully realized in fiscal year 2028. In addition, Autoliv estimates that there will be a reduction of approximately 2,200 employees in Türkiye upon completion. Severance and employee retention costs are calculated using a weighted-average, projected foreign exchange rate of 53 Turkish Lira per dollar. A press release dated May 8, 2026 announcing the discontinuation of manufacturing operations in Türkiye is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
