STOCKHOLM, April 26 (Reuters) - Sweden's Autoliv reported a first-quarter adjusted operating profit above expectations on Friday and said it had outperformed global light vehicle production by six basis points.

Operating profit adjusted for non-recurring costs grew to $199 million from $131 million a year before. Analysts polled by LSEG had on average forecast a profit of $185 million.

The car safety equipment maker's shares listed in Stockholm were however down nearly 2% at 1007 GMT, after being roughly flat ahead of the report.
