Thanks, Anders. Wanting on the subsequent slide. I wish to begin by thanking our staff for a very good execution of our mitigating actions in a difficult quarter. We continued to expertise powerful lockdowns in China that affected the worldwide provide chain and automotive trade, together with lots of our staff. Though the provision chain state of affairs is bettering at the moment, the automotive trade continues to battle with the semiconductor scarcity, limiting the worldwide gentle car manufacturing.
Due to a powerful ending of the quarter, our natural gross sales elevated by 8% year-over-year, in accordance with IHS Markit. Our natural gross sales outperformed international gentle car manufacturing by greater than 7 proportion factors. Our margins developed higher than anticipated, regardless of uncooked materials price will increase impacting our working margin within the quarter by nearly 6 proportion factors and intensive inefficiencies from lockdowns in China. Our price mitigation measures are on-track to attaining value will increase to compensate for larger prices for uncooked supplies, labor, logistics and utilities. Moreover, business compensation for earlier intervals and the patent litigation settlement, collectively, amounted to round $50 million within the quarter.
In response to the continuing difficult market circumstances, and to be ready for potential future difficult circumstances, we’re strengthening our price management measures and implementing different price saving actions. Primarily resulting from unstable and a few timing results, opposed working capital growth led to a adverse money circulate within the quarter. We anticipate to get well most of those results within the second half of the yr. The leverage ratio is 1.7 occasions. Within the quarter we paid $0.64 per share in dividends and repurchased 0.3 million shares beneath our three-year inventory repurchase program.
We proceed to develop mobility security options and introduced a cooperation with POC to research the alternatives with integrating airbag expertise into bicycle helmets. the remainder of the yr, we anticipate elevated gross sales outperformance versus gentle car manufacturing. It’s our plan and ambition that our product value will increase, coupled with strict price management measures will progressively offset the uncooked supplies and different inflationary price will increase. Subsequently, we anticipate a sequential margin enchancment within the second half of the yr, supporting a trajectory in the direction of our mid-term targets.
Wanting now on the monetary overview on the subsequent slide. Our consolidated internet gross sales of $2.1 billion was 3% larger than in Q2 2021. Adjusted working earnings, excluding price for capability alignments, fell from $166 million to $124 million. The adjusted working margin was 6% within the quarter, round 2 proportion factors decrease than final yr. The decrease working margin was primarily a results of inflationary stress, unstable LVP, currencies and results from lockdowns in China. Working money circulate was adverse $51 million, which was $114 million decrease than the identical interval final yr, primarily resulting from adjustments in working capital.
Wanting now on our gross sales progress extra intimately on the subsequent slide. Though forex translation results had a adverse influence of 5% or $103 million, the second quarter consolidated internet gross sales elevated by nearly $60 million to $2.1 billion. Retroactive pricing contributed with roughly $30 million and value quantity combine contributed with $132 million or 7% to the expansion within the quarter.
Trying to our natural gross sales progress per area in Q2 2022 on the subsequent slide. Our gross sales within the quarter got here in decrease than what we anticipated to start with of the quarter, resulting from that, gentle car manufacturing in Japan, Western Europe and North America dissatisfied. In keeping with IHS Markit, international gentle car manufacturing elevated by lower than 1% year-over-year within the quarter, this was 2 proportion factors worse than anticipated initially of the quarter and the combination was worse than anticipated.
Our second quarter gross sales develop organically by 8%, which was round 7 proportion factors higher than international gentle car manufacturing in accordance with IHS Markit, regardless of the adverse regional LVP combine. The natural gross sales progress was primarily pushed by the big variety of product launches in Americas and Europe, in addition to value will increase.
Primarily based on the newest gentle car manufacturing numbers from IHS Markit, we outperformed in Europe by 15 proportion factors, in Japan by 10 proportion factors, and in Americas by 8 proportion factors, in China gross sales underperformed by 4 proportion factors. The rationale for the underperformance in China was primarily the combination impact from manufacturing of low-end automobiles being much less affected by the lockdowns. Supported by latest launches and a constructive regional combine, in addition to additional value will increase, we see gross sales outperforming gentle car manufacturing considerably extra for the remainder of the yr.
On the subsequent slide, we see some key mannequin launches from the second quarter. Within the quarter, we had a excessive variety of launches, particularly in Europe and China. The fashions proven on this slide have an Autoliv content-per-vehicle from roughly $120 to greater than $550. The long-term development to larger CPV is supported by the introduction of excessive content material steering wheels.
I’ll now hand it over to our CFO, Fredrik Westin, who will speak concerning the financials on the subsequent few slides.
Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer
Thanks, Mikael. This slide highlights our key figures for the second quarter of 2022 in comparison with the second quarter of 2021. Our internet gross sales have been $2.1 billion, this was a 3% improve in comparison with the identical quarter final yr. Gross revenue declined by 15% to $326 million, whereas the gross margin decreased to fifteen.7%. The gross margin lower was primarily pushed by uncooked supplies, currencies and the unstable and decrease than anticipated gentle car manufacturing.
Within the quarter, we had nearly no extra provisions for capability alignment actions, and the adjusted working earnings decreased to $124 million from $166 million. The adjusted working margin declined to six%.
The working money circulate was minus $51 million, and I’ll present additional feedback later within the presentation. Earnings per share diluted decreased by $0.28, have been the principle drivers for $0.33 from decrease adjusted working earnings, partly mitigated by $0.04 from monetary gadgets. Our adjusted return on capital employed declined to 13% and the adjusted return on fairness to 12%. We paid a dividend of $0.64 per share within the quarter, similar as within the earlier quarter and repurchased round 300,000 shares for $22 million beneath our three-year inventory repurchase program.
Wanting now on the adjusted working earnings bridge on the subsequent slide. Within the second quarter of 2022, our adjusted working earnings of $124 million was $42 million decrease than the identical quarter final yr. The influence of uncooked materials value adjustments was adverse $115 million within the quarter year-on-year. FX impacted the working revenue negatively by $20 million, because of translation results because of the stronger U.S. greenback and transaction results, primarily regarding the pairings Japanese yen to the U.S. greenback, and Korean received to the U.S. greenback. SG&A and RD&E internet mixed was $6 million larger because of the larger price for IT and software engineering, in addition to timing of engineering earnings. Our improved pricing and different mitigating actions largely offset these important headwinds.
Wanting on the earnings growth extra carefully on the subsequent slide. Within the quarter, the working revenue was helped by earnings from a patent litigation settlement that amounted to $21 million. Additionally we recovered round $30 million associated to price will increase from earlier intervals. Excluding the patent litigation settlement and retracted price recoveries, the adjusted working earnings was $73 million or 3.6% of gross sales. This was a notable enchancment in comparison with the primary quarter as buyer pricing discussions and our strategic initiatives are yielding outcomes.
Wanting nearer on the price restoration discussions on the subsequent slide. To help a sustainable enterprise mannequin within the present excessive inflationary atmosphere, we proceed to work intensively with clients to safe value will increase, to compensate for inflationary stress and provide chain disruptions. We have now made progress on price restoration by means of sustainable value will increase with most clients. In lots of circumstances, the brand new pricing is refractive to cowl prices incurred in earlier intervals. Nevertheless, we’re nonetheless being impacted by inflationary price will increase, so the discussions and negotiations proceed. We’re additionally negotiating extra versatile buyer contracts to make sure that future inflationary pressures are successfully and extra well timed pushed by means of the worth chain.
Wanting on the money circulate efficiency on the subsequent slide. For the second quarter of 2022, working money circulate decreased by $114 million to adverse $51 million in comparison with final yr, primarily resulting from adjustments in working capital and the decrease internet earnings. In the course of the quarter working capital deteriorated by $239 million. The steep ramp-up in gross sales and the truth that we concluded a slightly giant variety of compensation negotiations in the direction of the tip of the quarter, in addition to the patent litigation settlement had a brief adverse impact on working capital. Within the second half of 2022, the timing of the shopper compensations will help a extra favorable money circulate growth.
Within the quarter, the continued unstable gentle car manufacturing and logistics challenges drove inventories larger. The inefficiency in stock was an extra of $100 million on the finish of the quarter. Our ambition is to remove these inefficiencies as quickly as potential, which requires an extra stabilization of the provision chain and call-off patterns from our clients.
For the second quarter, capital expenditures, internet elevated by 44% to $139 million. In relation to gross sales, was 6.7% versus 4.7% a yr earlier. The rise is especially associated to the continuing footprint actions and capability growth in China as a part of our strategic roadmap. For the second quarter of 2022, free money circulate was minus $190 million, in comparison with minus $33 million a yr earlier, pushed by the decrease working money circulate and the upper capital expenditures. The money conversion during the last 12 months was round 30%. Within the quarter we paid $56 million in dividends and repurchased shares for $22 million.
Now trying on our leverage ratio growth on the subsequent slide. Within the quarter, we continued to repurchase shares and we maintained our dividend. The leverage ratio on the finish of June 2022 was 1.7 occasions. This was 0.3 occasions larger than within the earlier quarter, as our 12 month trailing adjusted EBITDA decreased by $51 million and our internet debt elevated by $244 million. We see this as a brief state of affairs and we anticipate it to be again inside the vary later within the yr.
Now trying on the uncooked materials growth on to the subsequent slide. We nonetheless expertise unstable commodity markets coming from the Ukraine battle, COVID associated lockdowns and common inflationary stress. It’s encouraging that some commodity costs have decreased since March highs, particularly metals. Price will increase for uncooked supplies generated a gross headwind of $115 million or nearly 6 proportion factors to our working margin within the second quarter. As anticipated, this was barely larger than within the first quarter.
Within the present value atmosphere, we imagine that uncooked materials prices earlier than any buyer compensations could possibly be round 5.5 proportion factors in working margin headwind for the complete yr 2022. This example is addressed by means of focused actions and negotiations with clients as already outlined. We’re additionally stepping up cost-control measures as proven on the subsequent slide. In response to the sharp improve in uncooked materials costs and value inflation, we proceed with strict price management measures, a hiring freeze and accelerated price financial savings and footprint actions.
Moreover, we’re decreasing consultants and momentary staff and we’re reviewing and prioritizing initiatives. Because of these actions headcount is nearly unchanged year-over-year, regardless of considerably larger natural gross sales. We proceed to execute on our capital effectivity program to enhance commerce working capital. We additionally give attention to balancing headcount with anticipated demand.
Now, switching to the market growth, I hand it again to Mikael.
Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Fredrik. Wanting now on the LVP growth on the subsequent slide. The second quarter gentle car manufacturing was influenced by the continuing part shortages and the COVID associated lockdowns in China. Nevertheless, there are indicators that the state of affairs is bettering and that the second quarter was the low level of this yr. As inventories of recent automobiles proceed to development at a file low stage and powerful OEM order backlogs, we imagine the short-term gentle car manufacturing growth will rely on the trade’s capacity to construct automobiles, not on the macro sentiment.
We anticipate to see substantial year-over-year gentle car manufacturing progress in Q3 and This autumn, as the sunshine car manufacturing within the second half of 2021 was extremely affected by semiconductor shortages, particularly the third quarter. Nevertheless, complete volumes are nonetheless anticipated to be nicely beneath the LVP stage within the second half of 2020. Moreover, as most LVP — most of LVP progress is forecasted to return in excessive CPV markets, the regional combine is predicted to be favorable within the second half of the yr.
LVP forecast in additional element on the subsequent slide. The Auto trade continues to function at or close to recessionary ranges impacted by provide chain challenges. For the third quarter of 2022 international LVP is predicted to develop by over 20% in comparison with the very weak LVP within the third quarter of 2021, in accordance with IHS Markit. Sequentially LVP is predicted to enhance by 8% in comparison with Q2 as the provision of automotive semiconductors is predicted to enhance.
In North America, gross sales of recent automobiles stay nicely beneath demand and nicely beneath gross sales a yr in the past. With supplier inventories remaining at traditionally low ranges, the lockdowns in China affected North American manufacturing within the later a part of the second quarter, this example is predicted to enhance progressively. For European manufacturing, we anticipate quantity restoration as provide constraints proceed to ease. In China, gentle car manufacturing in June was up over 30% year-over-year as lockdowns have been lifted and demand was stimulated by tax incentives. Nevertheless, continued provide chain challenges restrict the extent of progress.
Now trying on the 2022 enterprise outlook on the subsequent Slide. We anticipate larger gross sales outperformance versus LVP for the remainder of the yr, supported by launches, regional combine and better costs. We additionally anticipate enhancements within the second half of the yr from alignment of direct labor with LVP, footprint optimization actions and a much less unstable LVP. We anticipate these to result in a powerful second half yr profitability in comparison with the primary half yr.
Wanting on the up to date full-year 2022 indications on the subsequent slide. Our full-year 2022 indications exclude price for capability alignment, anti-trust associated issues and different discrete gadgets. We modify our full yr indications to tighter vary, reflecting our actions and the shorter time span remaining of the yr. The up to date indications assumes that international gentle car manufacturing will develop between 2% and 5% and that we obtain our focused price inflation compensation, plus some stage of market stabilization. We anticipate gross sales to extend organically by round 13% to 16%. Foreign money translation results on gross sales are assumed to be round a adverse 5%. We anticipate an adjusted working margin of round 6% to 7%. Working money circulate is predicted to be round $750 million to $850 million.
Turning to the subsequent slide. In closing, to summarize our 2022 outlook. We anticipate continued sturdy outperformance versus LVP, supported primarily by product launches, improve in content material per car and value will increase. We anticipate to progressively offset a lot of the price inflation within the coming quarters, placing us on trajectory in the direction of our mid-term targets, primarily based on the framework outlined at our Capital Market Day in 2021.
Moreover, our steadiness sheet and money circulate ought to permit for continued shareholder returns. We stay conscious of the chance of deteriorating financial circumstances, however I’m assured that our main place, the work we now have achieved to turn out to be extra resilient and our expertise and agility will allow us to handle future difficult circumstances.
I’ll now hand it again to Anders.
Anders Trapp — Vice President, Investor Relations

Had been these form of surprising, or was simply the timing of it a shock and will we anticipate extra retroactive recoveries within the second half? I assume the place I’m attempting to get to is, to what extent will the second half margin run fee could possibly be a very good base to estimate 2023 or it’s a place to begin for 2023 or how a lot of it might profit from retroactive recoveries as nicely?
Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
I couldn’t quantify that for you right here. However as I mentioned earlier than right here, I imply, the main focus is to get the peak, that’s the precedence right here, for us right here. And naturally then in relation to the timing of enterprise negotiations, you would say, I imply if we had concluded on Monday to the tip of Friday, it’s a — in a — on the finish of the quarter, it makes a distinction in fact. And as we now have been in these negotiations for a while, I imply, we now have a really detailed dialogue and that’s why it’s taking time as nicely, as a result of we’re negotiating contract-by-contract with every buyer right here and it’s actually on plant stage as nicely.
So, there may be a whole lot of element that should come into — is coming into play right here in these discussions and that’s why it’s taking, in fact, time. And the timing of it’s relying on how rapidly we conclude these discussions is nice — it’s tough to provide that form of indications at this time limit.

So let me ask you this in a different way then. Let me ask in a different way after which I’ve a follow-up on commodities, however your second half implied margins primarily based in your new steering vary on the midpoint is like 8.2%, would this second half margin embrace additionally some retroactives or solely forward-looking new pricing?

Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer

Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
Within the case there may be retroactive, it’ll have an effect on the second half yr.
Emmanuel Rosner — Deutsche Financial institution Securities — Analyst
Proper, okay.
Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
That’s why we [Speech Overlap]. If I perceive your query accurately.
Emmanuel Rosner — Deutsche Financial institution Securities — Analyst
Proper. All proper, let me simply change to commodities rapidly. So I feel your outlook remains to be for 550 foundation factors hit to margin this yr. However principally evenly unfold out by quarter is now, as you famous in your slides, with a few of these commodities have form of like began inflecting down. Are you able to simply give a bit extra element on what kind of like commodities would be the largest headwinds for you within the second half and if costs form of like stay the place they’ve form of like fallen again to, is there some — may that be a tailwind in 2023?
Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
Yeah, versus completely different indication taken down the influence that we see for the yr from round 6 proportion factors to five.5 proportion factors. The primary influence remains to be from metal, regardless that that influence has additionally come down, however it stays our, say, the biggest year-over-year challenge or influence on our price growth.
Just about all main commodities, for us, we do see an enchancment, however because of the contract construction that we now have with our provide base, it takes a while then for these spot value actions to circulate by means of into our price setup, yeah. After which for 2023, I imply it stays to be seen, ought to they continue to be at, say, the decrease ranges the place a few of the metals proper now, clearly that ought to then be helpful for us going into 2023, yeah.
Emmanuel Rosner — Deutsche Financial institution Securities — Analyst

Thanks.
Operator
Thanks. The following query comes from Hampus Engellau from Handelsbanken. Please go forward, your line is open.
Hampus Engellau — Handelsbanken — Analyst
Thanks very a lot. Two questions from me. I assume, Mikael, that is extra of a common query. However given the historic sample on the price and the worth negotiations for you guys, I imply you at the moment nearly have 50% international market share. Is there any initiatives that you just would possibly assume can change your pricing mannequin and attempt to be slightly bit extra aggressive utilizing your sturdy market place. Given that you just in all probability ought to be the market chief in pricing. That’s the primary query.
Second query is extra associated to, how it might work while you’re imbalance on the price that you just’re at the moment compensating for the steel costs coming down for example, will you then be instantly given again that or will you form of overcompensate. These are my two questions. Thanks.
Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
Let me begin by taking the primary query first after which let Fredrik reply the second query there. I feel, I imply, initially, we must always bear in mind right here that we haven’t been in a state of affairs the place we now have been wanted to go to our customary value will increase for a minimum of 25 years right here. Sure, we now have the annual negotiations with the shopper, the place we now have, I might say, sure components of quantity, the metal costs, and many others., only a few gadgets that we cowl yearly. However on this magnitude and this breadth of price gadgets to debate, we haven’t seen within the trade, I might say for this very very long time interval. So, this can be a new state of affairs, and naturally it requires a whole lot of extra work between ourselves and the shopper right here on a really, very detailed stage.
The pricing energy, if you happen to put like that, is basically when we now have the quote course of. So when we now have an RFQ for a brand new program, that’s the place you would say that the market place is enjoying out, then we’re within the — in contracts with our buyer for the lifetime of that car, merely put, and that’s what we now are going by means of and negotiating right here. And I might say, we now have good discussions right here with our clients and it’s a reality primarily based and detailed discussions that we’re working our means by means of right here now, and that’s progressively paying off pretty in step with what we now have mentioned. So, little bit new territory, however the true pricing is within the RFQ course of.
Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer
And in your second query on the correlation between say, price and value growth going ahead. I imply for us the precedence has been to revive our pricing stage stand to be sure that no matter the price inflation has been thus far, that we get the fitting adjustment for that going ahead, as Mikael structure [Phonetic] earlier than.
Hampus Engellau — Handelsbanken — Analyst
Okay.
Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer
We’ll, after these negotiations, and already now have a better stage of indexation, which then additionally will scale back our volatility, what our publicity to the unfold there between the uncooked materials price growth and our high line. And these buildings that we are actually on with our clients to a bigger extent, they fluctuate from between, say, quarterly to annual buildings. So, it’ll fluctuate slightly bit on how the price growth will then in the end come by means of on the pricing facet, in each instructions.
Hampus Engellau — Handelsbanken — Analyst
Honest sufficient.
Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer
Thanks.
Operator
Thanks. The following query comes from Colin Langan from Wells Fargo. Please go forward, your line is open.
Colin Langan — Wells Fargo — Analyst
Nice. Thanks for taking my questions. Simply following up on commodities, you took it down a bit, is there any excellent news left on the 550 foundation factors for 2022 or is simply, given the contract timing, that’s all going to be recovered in ’23? And what did form of drive it, is that simply the mark-to-market assist from the spot costs, that has nothing to do with the shopper negotiations, proper?
Mikael Bratt — President and Chief Govt Officer
No. So this can be a price influence that we’re guiding for. It doesn’t embrace any compensation results from our clients. So, it’s the pure, say, price influence on our revenue and loss assertion that we’re anticipating for this yr. And as I mentioned, I imply we now have seen commodity costs come down totally on metals, and we additionally do anticipate a restricted influence from that in the direction of the second half. We’re within the second half of the yr, right here was on our price base. However because of the buildings that we now have with our clients. Additionally right here we now have between quarterly and annual setups, there’s a time lag then of how these spot value developments then translate into our price construction.
Colin Langan — Wells Fargo — Analyst
Okay. So, there may be much less wiggle room there, okay. After which simply trying on the full yr steering change. I imply I feel it implies round — the midpoint round $12 million improve in working earnings for the yr, however Q2 got here in fairly a bit higher than anticipated. You had the $22 million in litigation settlement that I assume was surprising. Commodity headwinds, I feel, are roughly $50 million decrease than what you’re anticipating. So, why not an even bigger full yr improve or what kind of is offsetting that since from a second half outlook at this level?
Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer
Yeah. So, we’re actually taking a look at a considerable enchancment within the second half of the yr. So, we’re someplace round 7% to 9% versus round 4.5% within the first half of the yr. You highlighted a few of the constructive elements, however there are additionally some additional headwinds, we — we see that FX is now a bigger headwinds than what we had included in our steering, each for the complete yr and after Q1, so that may have a bigger adverse influence on us than we had anticipated simply three months in the past. And we additionally see that there are another price elements which can be non-raw materials associated, as an illustration, logistics, even have a extra unfavorable growth. So, there are a few elements which can be offsetting those that you just talked about.
Colin Langan — Wells Fargo — Analyst
Okay, all proper, thanks for taking my query.
Fredrik Westin — Govt Vice President, Chief Monetary Officer

Thanks. The following query comes from Chris McNally from Evercore. Please go forward, your line is open.
Chris McNally — Evercore — Analyst
Thanks a lot. Wished to form of go slightly bit broader on the uncooked supplies, I apologize if it’s just like the third and fourth query on it. However slightly being particular on timing and particular contract, if we step again and take into consideration that 550 foundation factors of progress, uncooked materials inflation. There’s clearly a internet quantity there for you, lined on a specific amount, no matter that internet quantity is, all of us can form of make our personal estimate. I assume what we’re attempting to determine is, will that be — do you assume you’ll get the vast majority of that recovered over ’22 and ’23, in order that ’24 is form of “normalized” while you — you sound fairly assured in your 12% margin, is that the fitting means to consider it, that the recoveries could possibly be form of the vast majority of that internet and can go away by the tip of ’23, form of a two-year foundation?

Hello, thanks for taking my query. The primary one on pure fuel. You wanted for the manufacturing strategy of airbags. So, I used to be questioning, are you taking a look at alternate options to this, first in case, we go into restrictions in Europe. And is there an alternate, is there a simple various for you? After which the second query on the top-line. You probably did improve the LVP steering, however you didn’t improve the natural progress steering which suggests that your outperformance is meant to be barely decrease, it surprises me given your feedback on having constructive regional combine going ahead, proper, equivalent to in H2. So, are you able to perhaps clarify what modified there? Thanks.

In your first query on the pure fuel, we don’t use fuel for, say, processing in our manufacturing processes. So, we weren’t uncovered to pure fuel in that sense.

So in that sense, we’re in fact monitoring very carefully what is occurring right here available in the market, however our publicity can be extra on the influence on our suppliers or then not directly by means of implicate — what impacts on our clients.
Then on LVP, sure, we’re now guiding for a 11% outperformance, so the two% to five% vary, that’s primarily as we mentioned within the presentation that the timeframe has shortened right here for the yr and we expect that vary is practical. We have now had a fairly important adverse combine year-to-date of round 6% and that’s the foremost cause why we take down our full yr outperformance then from 12% to 11%. So the combination part in there has deteriorated barely, whereas the others like Content material Per Car, market share and in addition pricing stay unchanged versus our earlier steering.
