STOCKHOLM, July 18 (Reuters) - Sweden's Autoliv ( ALV )

raised its full-year sales guidance on Friday and

said it had compensated for most of its tariff related costs in

the second quarter, as it reported a profit for the period that

matched expectations.

Adjusted operating profit at the world's largest maker of

airbags and seatbelts grew to $251 million from a year-earlier

$221 million, in line a mean forecast in a poll of analysts

provided by Autoliv ( ALV ), on organic sales growth of 3%.

"We recovered around 80% of tariff costs in the second

quarter, and we expect to recover most of what remains later in

the year," CEO Mikael Bratt said.

"We remain confident that we can continue to

successfully receive compensation from our customers for

tariffs, although the industry outlook for tariffs is

uncertain," he said.

Pointing to these tariff compensations, Autoliv ( ALV ) said it

now sees organic sales growth this year of around 3%. Its

previous forecast, last reiterated in April, was for 2%.
