STOCKHOLM, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: ALV) (SSE: ALIV.sdb)

Q1 2026: Solid operational performance and sales

Financial highlights Q1 2026

$2,753 million net sales, increase of 6.8%
0.8% organic sales growth*
8.6% operating margin, 8.9% adj. operating margin*
$1.88 diluted EPS, 12% decrease

Full year 2026 guidance

Around 0% organic sales growth
Around 3% positive FX impact on net sales
Around 10.5-11% adjusted operating margin
Around $1.2 billion operating cash flow

All change figures in this release compare to the same period of the previous year except when stated otherwise.

Key business developments in the first quarter of 2026

  • Net sales increased organically* by 0.8%, which was 4.2pp higher than the global LVP decrease of 3.4% (S&P Global Apr 2026) driven mainly by strong progress in Asia. Regional and customer LVP mix is estimated to have impacted sales positively by about 1.5pp, while tariff compensations added around 0.5pp. Our organic sales growth* outperformed LVP significantly in China (15pp) and Asia excl. China (6.8pp) and performed in line in EMEA and underperformed in Americas (4.5pp). Our strong performance in Asia excl. China was mainly due to India, where we outperformed by 28pp, driven by continued strong market growth in safety content per vehicle, while our China performance was mainly driven by further improved presence with Chinese OEMs.
  • Profitability was strong. Supported by successful execution of cost reductions and positive FX effects, gross profit increased by 10%. Operating income decreased by 6.7% and adjusted operating income* decreased by 3.9%, impacted by adverse FX translation effects and temporary lower R,D&E reimbursements as well as that Q1 2025 was positively impacted by one-time effects. Operating margin was 8.6% and adjusted operating margin* was 8.9%. ROCE was 22.2% and adjusted ROCE* was 22.9%.
  • Operating cash flow was negative $76 million, mainly due to an increase in working capital due to strong sales in March, temporary effects expected to reverse later in the year and the high level of accounts payable at the end of 2025. Free operating cash flow* thereby decreased to negative $159 million. The leverage ratio* was unchanged compared to a year ago at 1.3x, below our target limit of 1.5x. In the quarter, a dividend of $0.87 per share was paid.

*For Non-GAAP measures see enclosed reconciliation tables.

Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEO

The first quarter turned out better than we had anticipated, with strong sales in March. Our operational performance exceeded our expectations, with solid productivity improvements, partly supported by reduced call-off volatility. Underlying profitability improved, with gross profit increasing by 10%, although adjusted operating income was slightly lower due to temporary lower R,D&E reimbursements and the one-time income in Q1 last year.

Our positive trend in Asia continued, with strong growth in India, South Korea and China. In China, we continued to grow faster than LVP, especially with the Chinese OEMs, outperforming by 40pp. In India, we grew sales organically by 38%, reflecting mainly the trend of increased safety content in vehicles in India, as well as the continued high level of LVP growth. We continue to expand our production capabilities in India, investing in additional inflator production capacity for future growth.

I am pleased that we in the quarter introduced our first airbag for motorcycles, as well as our first wearable airbag solution for motorcycle riders, building on our long term strategy of growing business outside our traditional core business.

The quarter was characterized by ongoing and new geopolitical challenges. At this point, it is difficult to fully assess the likely impacts, as the situation remains fluid. We continue to carefully monitor the developments while preparing for various scenarios, including different mitigation strategies. 

The business environment is uncertain but our current best estimate for the remainder of the year is a re-iteration of our full year 2026 guidance of about unchanged organic sales and an adjusted operating margin of around 10.5-11%. This is based on the assumption that LVP will decline by around 1%.

Our balance sheet is healthy, with debt leverage of 1.3x, well below our target limit of 1.5x. Based on our guidance for sales and adjusted operating margin, we continue to expect strong cash flow for the year, which supports our ambitions to provide attractive shareholder returns, including to repurchase shares of $300-500 million in 2026.

A peek into “Made in China” from ZXMOTO: entrepreneurial drive, innovation, and industrial strength — all indispensable

By

BEIJING, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on ZXMOTO’s victory and “Made in China”:


A peek into “Made in China” from ZXMOTO: entrepreneurial drive, innovation, and industrial strength — all indispensable

In the hit Chinese movie series “Pegasus,” a race car emblazoned with “Xindi Machine,” the name of a little-known factory, surges past renowned teams to claim a decisive victory. Recently, this dramatic underdog success tale came to life at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), where a French rider claimed dual race wins aboard a Chinese indigenous motorcycle: “ZXMOTO.”

The story behind “ZXMOTO” is even more compelling than the movie.

Zhang Xue, founder of ZXMOTO, has been immersed in motorcycles since his teens. After dropping out of school, he started as an apprentice mechanic, cleaning parts, gradually became a motocross racer, and then a technician who mastered the whole manufacturing process and craftsmanship behind motorcycles. He later co-founded his own business before finally launching his own brand, ZXMOTO, naming it after himself. By the time ZXMOTO shone at the Algarve International Circuit, Zhang Xue himself had already devoted over two decades of his life to “building the fastest motorcycle.”

A mentor he once consulted also sent Zhang his congratulations: “Finally, you’ve seen the bright moon through the dark clouds.” After a long pause, Zhang replied, “Actually, I was prepared never to see the moon at all.” He added that even if he hadn’t, he would have kept going anyway.

Resilience and daring entrepreneurship supported Zhang Xue through the long trudge to glory. That said, it would not have been possible without China’s complete motorcycle industrial supply chain ecosystem. Zhang Xue chose Chongqing as his base precisely because it’s China’s “motorcycle capital”, boasting a localization rate for motorcycle components of over 90%. Within a 50-kilometer radius, one can source everything from frames and core components for engines, down to a single screw. With a technical drawing for a custom component, prototyping can be finished without even leaving the industrial park.

The championship-winning ZXMOTO motorcycle features fully indigenous R&D in its three core components — engine, frame, and its electronic control system. High-precision manufacturers from across China have joined hands in forming a top-tier supply chain. High-precision crankshafts from Shandong and Jiangsu achieve even tighter component tolerances than international standards; cutting-edge titanium alloy materials from Guangdong make the engine valves more heat-resistant while cutting weight by half…

Back in the early 2000s, when China’s Zongshen Motorcycle Racing Team shocked the world with the country’s first world championship title in motorcycle racing, the bikes were still made of “global parts assembled on a Chinese chassis”. Now, ZXMOTO is no longer a patchwork of foreign components. Instead, it represents China’s high-end motorcycle sector, which is quietly reshaping the global industry landscape.

Motorbikes are just one glimpse into a bigger picture. From new energy vehicles powered by cutting-edge technologies to high-end smartphones and reliable, high-performance drones, numerous products bear witness to “Made in China’s” successive breakthroughs in one sector after another.  Behind them lie the relentless drive and resilience of countless people like Zhang Xue, who have poured decades into perfecting their craft. What’s more, the rising independent innovation capabilities of Chinese enterprises, paired with continuously upgraded industrial supply chains, are further elevating the caliber of “Made in China” products, while redefining what these three words mean to the world.

SUNLU AND INSLOGIC TEAM UP TO ANNOUNCE THE FilaDC i10 AT RAPID+ TCT IN BOSTON

By
Advertorial Desk
-

BOSTON, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At this year’s Rapid + TCT in Boston, SUNLU is displaying a broad range of products, including a large selection of engineering filaments, while also announcing a strategic collaboration with Inslogic. From dedicated product demonstrations to in-depth technical exchanges, SUNLU is exploring new possibilities in 3D printing together with industry peers, designers, engineers, and makers. Nylons, Polypropylene, Polycarbonates and other engineering-grade filaments are on display, covering professional high-strength, high-durability, or flexibility requirements. From model aircraft structures to drone components or creative structural parts, each application shall find its relevant filament counterpart.

The aesthetic filament area has become a visitor’s favorite. Silk, Rainbow, Wood-filled, Galaxy and other distinctive materials put their textural charm on full display, finding their place across fashion, art, collectibles, and cultural creative design. Meanwhile, the resin section turns heads with collector-grade model exhibits. Printed using CMYK+W color resin, 14K ABS-like resin, high-temperature PLUS resin, and more, these models deliver exceptional detail reproduction and stable forming performance.

Alongside these innovations, the partnership with Inslogic marks the company’s entry into the filament moisture management industry with its first, one-of-a-kind Filament Dehumidifying Cabinet. Designed to fill a gap in the industry, the FilaDC i10 can store up to ten 1KG spools simultaneously and keep more than 50 types of material dry.  The i10’s standout feature is that it does not rely on heated air to remove moisture from filaments. Instead, it utilizes an innovative molecular sieve to reduce moisture in filaments like PETG, TPU and Nylon. This system, combined with fans to keep the main chamber dry, makes the i10 environmentally friendly and fully autonomous; its energy consumption and noise levels are significantly lower compared to traditional filament dryers.

For large scale users who require a better performance from their filaments, while remaining conscious of their impact on the environment, SUNLU and Inslogic have scheduled the release of the i10 on July 1.

About SUNLU

Founded in 2013 in the 3D Printing Supplies Capital Zhuhai, SUNLU has focused on manufacturing 3D printing products for over 10 years and specializes in 3D Printer filament, resin, and accessories. With more than 270 production lines and 25 millions products sold, the company has been continuously committed to technological innovation and new product research and development, achieving 530+ intellectual rights and with the clear commitment of providing the best quality products in the market at competitive pricing.

The story blends suspense-thriller tension with themes of grief, self-reconciliation, and female resilience.

As one of seven unreleased domestic films chosen for their first public screening through the Beijing Screenings program, the film has also earned a spot in the festival’s “Most Anticipated Young Directors’ Work” showcase, where it will be presented to cinema chains, film companies, and media on April 20 in Beijing, a recognition that underscores iQIYI’s track record in backing emerging filmmakers.

HTX DAO Completes Q1 2026 $HTX Burn: Two-Year Supply Shrinks Over 11% as Deflation Accelerates

By
Advertorial Desk
-

PANAMA CITY, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Despite a turbulent first quarter characterized by market volatility and shrinking global trading volumes, HTX DAO has delivered a robust deflationary performance.


According to an official announcement, HTX DAO successfully completed its $HTX burn for the first quarter of 2026 on April 15. A total of 10,825,402,253,521.04 $HTX tokens, valued at approximately $19.22 million, were permanently removed from circulation. This brings the cumulative total of $HTX burned and pledged to 110.32 trillion tokens to date.

Counter-Cyclical Resilience Amid Market Downturn

The global crypto market faced significant headwinds in Q1, with total trading volumes plunging by 27% quarter-over-quarter due to cautious macroeconomic sentiment. While much of the industry struggled with revenue contraction, $HTX demonstrated remarkable “counter-cyclical” resilience.


Data reveals that even in a subdued market, the volume of $HTX burned in a single quarter exceeded 1% of its total supply.  This indicates that the HTX platform has maintained efficient revenue conversion and high-volume burn schedules despite the broader market conditions, a feat that has significantly bolstered community and investor confidence.

Market capital flows further support this narrative. According to DefiLlama data, as of March 31, HTX ranked first globally among centralized exchanges (CEXs) for 24-hour net capital inflows, attracting $54.14 million in a single day.

Redefining Scarcity: 5.5% Annual Deflation Rate

Since the inception of the burn program in 2024, the cumulative reduction in $HTX supply—through burns and pledges—has surpassed 11% of the total supply. This represents a staggering average annual deflation rate of 5.5%, a figure that significantly outpaces most peer exchange tokens and mainstream crypto assets. This aggressive supply reduction creates a high degree of scarcity, providing a solid foundation for the token’s long-term value.

While the supply side contracts, the demand for $HTX is being aggressively reinforced.

In Q1, $HTX was successfully listed on the European compliant exchange Bit2Me, expanding its user base and liquidity within regulated markets. Additionally, HTX DAO launched a $HTX staking feature, allowing hodlers to earn up to 10% APY while participating in governance, incentivizing long-term holding.

Since April 1, $HTX has served as the sole token for trading fee discounts on the HTX exchange. Its integration into core trading scenarios provides a sustainable engine for future burns and ongoing market demand.

The token’s resilience against headwinds in Q1 2026 serves as a definitive validation of the $HTX deflationary model and the steady growth of the HTX ecosystem. As the burn mechanism continues and the ecosystem expands, the “absolute scarcity” of $HTX is expected to become increasingly pronounced.

About HTX DAO

As a multi-chain deployed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), HTX DAO demonstrates an innovative governance approach. Unlike traditional corporate structures, it adopts a decentralized governance structure composed of a diversified group, jointly committed to the success of this organization. This unique ecosystem advocates openness and encourages all DAO participants to propose ideas that can promote the development of HTX DAO.
