Changes in Volvo Group financial reporting


As of January 1, 2012, the Volvo Group has introduced a new functional
organization, which better utilizes the global potential of the Group’s brands
and products, and a new financial framework to reflect the changes in the
organization. The new framework impacts to some extent how revenues and expenses
are reported between the different reportable segments. However, the Volvo
Group’s consolidated net sales and operating income remains unchanged. Financial
information for 2011 has been restated to facilitate comparison.
The reportable segments remain the same, but some revenues and expenses have
been transferred between the different segments as a result of the new
organization. Some expenses have also been been reclassified within the income
statement.

Restated income statements and details on the impact on the Volvo
Group’s reportable segments are attached.
