Achieved Record Annual Revenue of $1.5 Billion 

Increased Full Year Operating Cash Flow 7% Year-over-Year; Reduced Net Leverage to 0.2x

Establishes 2026 Guidance; Provides Preliminary Revenue Outlook of ~$1.7B for 2027

NOVI, Mich., Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentherm (NASDAQ:THRM), a global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

“We made significant progress on our long-term strategic initiatives while executing against our 2025 financial and operational plans. We are intent on transforming Gentherm. Momentum on our adjacent market initiatives continues to build, and our announced combination with Modine Performance Technologies, which is expected to close by the end of the year, will position us as a truly differentiated supplier—one with a stronger product portfolio, broader end-market diversification, and an enhanced platform for profitable growth,” said Bill Presley, the Company's President and CEO.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

• Secured Automotive New Business Awards totaling $485 million in the quarter.
• Selected by a second leading global furniture brand to supply climate and comfort solutions with start of production expected in mid-2026.
• Product revenues of $382.8 million increased 8.5% from $352.9 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 5.6%, with Automotive increasing 6.0% and Medical decreasing 3.9%.
• Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue increased 11.1% year over year, or 8.6% excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, outperforming S&P Global’s mid-February light vehicle production report in our relevant markets by 820 basis points.
• Gross margin was 23.7%, compared to 24.4% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by higher material costs, including mix, as well as expenses related to our footprint realignment, partially offset by operating leverage.
• Net income was $3.0 million, compared to $15.3 million in the prior year.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $40.6 million, or 10.6% of revenue, compared to $41.4 million, or 11.7% of revenue, in the prior year.

• Gross margin was 24.2%, compared to 25.2% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by higher material costs, including mix, as well as expenses related to our footprint realignment, partially offset by operating leverage.
• Net income was $18.3 million, compared to $64.9 million in the prior year.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $174.8 million, or 11.7% of revenue, compared to $182.9 million, or 12.6% of revenue, in the prior year.

• Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.27, compared to $2.33 in the prior year.
• Delivered full year cash flow from operations of $116.8 million, compared to $109.6 million in the prior year.

Presley concluded, “As we begin 2026, our team is united around a clear set of strategic priorities and is energized by the momentum we’ve created. We are taking bold, decisive actions that will position Gentherm for sustainable, profitable growth and create long-term shareholder value.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP throughout this release, the Company has provided here or elsewhere information regarding: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA margin; adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted earnings per share” or “Adjusted EPS”); Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate; net capital expenditures (“net CAPEX”); Net Debt; liquidity; Net Leverage Ratio (“Net Leverage”); revenue, segment revenue and product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses; adjusted operating expenses; Pro Forma Revenue; Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA; and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as earnings adjusted by restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities for the current period less that of the immediately preceding period. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities less Purchases of property and equipment. The Company defines net CAPEX as Purchases of property and equipment less Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding cash restructuring expenses, net and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations, less net CAPEX. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Net Debt as the principal amount of all Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) less cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines liquidity as the sum of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit. The Company defines Net Leverage as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters. The Company defines revenue, segment revenue or product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses as such revenue, excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excluding the other items specified. The Company defines adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding related non-cash stock based compensation, restructuring expenses, net, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company defines Pro Forma revenue as Gentherm’s product revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), plus Modine Performance Technologies’ Net sales for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), as reported by Modine Manufacturing Company, adjusted to reflect the latest business structure. The Company defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Gentherm’s Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), plus Modine Performance Technologies’ Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), as reported by Modine Manufacturing Company, adjusted to reflect the latest business structure and go-forward operational alignment. The Company defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA divided by Pro Forma Revenue.

The Company’s reconciliations are included in this release or can be found in the supplemental materials on the Company’s website.

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate, Net Debt, net leverage and liquidity as supplemental measures of its liquidity and the other non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its operating performance. Management provides such non-GAAP financial measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors in properly assessing the Company's performance on a period-over-period basis by excluding matters not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating or liquidity results and therefore enhance the comparability of the Company's results and provide additional information for analyzing trends in the business. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur revenues, expenses, and cash and non-cash obligations that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There also can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material. Other companies in our industry may define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do and those calculations may not be comparable to our metrics. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, revenue or other consolidated income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP measures referenced in this release and other public communications may include estimates of future Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate, Adjusted EPS, Pro Forma Revenue, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to taxes and non-recurring items, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
