Note 1 – Overview

Gentherm Incorporated, a Michigan corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Gentherm”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is the global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies for the automotive and medical industries. Automotive products include variable temperature Climate Control Seats, heated automotive interior systems (including heated seats, steering wheels, armrests and other components), battery performance solutions, cable systems, lumbar and massage comfort solutions, valve systems, and other electronic devices. Our automotive products can be found on vehicles manufactured by nearly all the major original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) operating in North America and Europe, and several major OEMs in Asia. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities. Medical products include patient temperature management systems. Our medical products can be found in hospitals throughout the world, primarily in the US, China, Germany and Brazil. The Company is also developing a number of new technologies and products that will help enable improvements to existing products, improve health, wellness and patient outcomes and will lead to new product applications for existing and new and adjacent markets.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The information furnished in the consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

In preparing these financial statements, management was required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. These estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update such estimates and assumptions or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company evaluates its relationship with other entities for consolidation and to identify whether such entities are variable interest entities (“VIE”) and to assess whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such entities. Investments in entities in which Gentherm does not have control but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method. When Gentherm does not have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally when ownership interest is less than 20%), investments in entities are measured at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company maintains an ownership interest in a VIE, Carrar Ltd. (“Carrar”). Carrar is a technology developer of advanced thermal management systems for the electric mobility market. The Company determined that Carrar is a VIE; however, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the investment. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary. Gentherm’s investment in Carrar is measured at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Carrar investment was $5,700 and $5,200 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is recorded in Other non-current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has no material contract assets or contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023.

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefits of those costs are expected to be realized for a period greater than one year. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were $3,849 and $2,239 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Other non-current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and are being amortized into Product revenues in the consolidated condensed statements of (loss) income over the expected production life of the applicable program.

Note 2 – Acquisitions

Alfmeier Präzision SE

On August 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Alfmeier Präzision SE (“Alfmeier”), a global leader in automotive lumbar and massage comfort solutions and a leading provider of advanced valve systems, integrated electronics and software. The acquisition further expanded the Company's value proposition beyond thermal in comfort, health, wellness, and energy efficiency and aligned with global consumer demand for expanded offerings in vehicle passenger comfort.

Jiangmen Dacheng Medical Equipment Co. Ltd

On July 13, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Jiangmen Dacheng Medical Equipment Co. Ltd (“Dacheng”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, IOB Medical, Inc. Dacheng is a privately held manufacturer of medical materials and medical equipment, including patient temperature management solutions, for numerous local and international customers. The acquisition provided Gentherm Medical a local presence in China’s high-growth market for patient warming devices and other medical device products, and expanded overall manufacturing capacity to include a low-cost manufacturing site.

The total consideration transferred was $35,048. The purchase agreement also included potential cash payments contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics and continued employment of the former majority shareholder through a series of defined dates. The achievement of these performance metrics resulted in cash payments of $500. These cash payments were accounted for as compensation expense and recorded as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses ratably over the service period.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. As of June 30, 2023, the purchase consideration and fair values of assets and liabilities assumed are final.

Note 3 – Restructuring and Impairments

The Company continuously monitors market developments, industry trends and changing customer needs and in response, may undertake restructuring actions, as necessary, to execute management’s strategy, streamline operations and optimize the Company’s cost structure. Restructuring actions may include the realignment of existing manufacturing footprint, facility closures, or similar actions, either in the normal course of business or pursuant to significant restructuring programs.

These actions may result in employees receiving voluntary or involuntary employee termination benefits, which are mainly statutory requirements or other contractual agreements. Voluntary termination benefits are accrued when an employee accepts the related offer. Involuntary termination benefits are accrued upon the commitment to a termination plan and when the benefit arrangement is communicated to affected employees, or when liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable, depending on the existence of a substantive plan for severance or termination.

Manufacturing Footprint Rationalization

During 2019, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (“Plan”) to improve the Company’s manufacturing productivity and rationalize its footprint. Under this Plan, the Company relocated and consolidated certain automotive electronics manufacturing plants in North America and China.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not recognize any restructuring expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $0 and $50, respectively, for employee separation costs and $97 and $198, respectively, for other costs.

The Company has recorded approximately $10,359 of restructuring expenses since the inception of this program and as of June 30, 2023, $588 remains accrued.

Other Restructuring Activities

The Company has undertaken several discrete restructuring actions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $337 and $1,543 for employee separation costs, respectively, and $707 and $770, respectively, of other costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $277 and $307, respectively, for other costs. These restructuring expenses were primarily associated with restructuring actions focused on the reduction of global overhead costs.

As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Medical reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s Medical reporting unit did not perform in-line with forecasted results primarily driven by slower than anticipated revenue growth. As a result, an indicator of impairment was identified and the Company performed an interim quantitative assessment as of June 30, 2023. The results of this quantitative analysis indicated the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit by $17,086, and accordingly an impairment expense was recorded for $19,509 that includes the associated deferred tax effect that was measured using the simultaneous equation method.

13


 

The Company utilized an income approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and a market valuation approach to further support this analysis (level 3). The income approach was based on projected debt-free cash flow that was discounted to the present value using discount factors that considered the timing and risk of cash flows. Fair value was estimated using internally developed forecasts, as well as commercial and discount rate assumptions. The discount rate used was the value-weighted average of our estimated cost of equity and of debt (“cost of capital”) derived using both known and estimated customary market metrics. Our weighted average cost of capital includes a company specific risk premium to address the risks associated with achieving the projected revenue and profitability growth rates. Other significant assumptions included terminal value growth rates and terminal value margin rates. Our ability to realize the future cash flows used in our calculations is affected by factors such as the success of strategic initiatives, changes in economic conditions, changes in our operating performance and changes in our business strategies. To further support the fair value estimate determined by the income approach, the Company utilized a market valuation approach to estimate the fair value of the Medical reporting unit. The market approach considered historical and anticipated financial metrics of the Medical reporting unit and applied valuation multiples based on recent observed transactions involving companies similar enough to the Medical reporting unit from which to draw meaningful conclusions.

Credit Agreement

On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Agent”).

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $500,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a $50,000 sublimit for swing line loans and a $15,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Any amount of the facility utilized for swing line loans or letters of credit outstanding will reduce the amount available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company had no outstanding letters of credit issued as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Subject to specified conditions, Gentherm can increase the Revolving Credit Facility or incur secured term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $200,000. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on June 10, 2027.

The U.S. borrowers and guarantors participating in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also entered into a Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement grants a security interest to the Agent in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries designated as borrowers to secure their respective obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement, including the stock and membership interests of specified subsidiaries (limited to 66% of the stock in the case of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries). In addition to the security obligations, all obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all obligations of any U.S. or non-U.S. loan party) are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of Gentherm’s domestic subsidiaries, and the German subsidiary borrowers and certain other foreign subsidiaries guarantee all obligations of the non-U.S. loan parties under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement restricts, among other things, the amount of dividend payments the Company can make to shareholders.

14


 

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants, that, among other things, (i) prohibit or limit the ability of the borrowers and any material subsidiary to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends, make certain types of investments (including acquisitions), enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets or enter into certain other transactions outside the ordinary course of business, and (ii) require that Gentherm maintain a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (based on consolidated EBITDA for the applicable trailing four fiscal quarters) as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement additionally contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated and may become immediately due and payable.

Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, U.S. Dollar denominated loans bear interest at either a base rate (“Base Rate Loans”) or Term SOFR rate (“Term SOFR Rate Loans”), plus a margin (“Applicable Rate”). The rate for Base Rate Loans is equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America’s prime rate, or the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%. The rate for Term SOFR Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars is equal to the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rate administered by the CME with a term of one month. All loans denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar must be Term SOFR Rate Loans. Interest is payable at least quarterly. Additionally, a commitment fee of between 0.175% to 0.300%, which will vary based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, is payable on the average daily unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Applicable Rate varies based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio reported by the Company. As long as the Company is not in default of the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lowest and highest possible Applicable Rate is 1.125% and 2.125%, respectively, for Term SOFR Rate Loans and 0.125% and 1.125%, respectively, for Base Rate Loans.

Borrowing availability is subject to, among other things, the Company’s compliance with the minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Based upon consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters calculated for purposes of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, $282,732 remained available as of June 30, 2023 for additional borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement subject to specified conditions that Gentherm currently satisfies.

In connection with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1,417, which have been capitalized and will be amortized into Interest expense, net over the term of the credit facility.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and other contingencies

The Company may be subject to various legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of its business, including those arising out of breach of contracts, intellectual property rights, environmental matters, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters which it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these

15


 

matters will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. Product liability and warranty reserves are recorded separately from legal reserves.

Product Liability and Warranty Matters

In the event that the Company’s products fail to perform as expected or result in alleged bodily injury or property damage, our products may subject us to warranty claims and product liability. If any of our products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage at levels based on commercial norms and historical claims experience. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims or liabilities in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims.

The Company accrues warranty obligations for products sold based on management estimates of future failure rates and current claim cost experience, with support from the sales, engineering, quality and legal functions. Using historical information available to the Company, including any claims filed by customers, the warranty accrual is adjusted quarterly to reflect management’s estimate of future claims.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs:

Other matters

Purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services and capital expenditures, as part of the normal course of business, are generally consistent from year to year. In addition, due to supply shortages of semiconductors, the Company has entered into agreements with various suppliers to reserve the right to purchase certain semiconductor chips over rolling periods of 12-24 months, with volume commitments determined based on our anticipated production requirements. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s total commitments for these semiconductor chip agreements was $34,646. Such agreements provide the Company with priority access to semiconductor chips as they become available, however, these agreements do not guarantee that our suppliers will meet the timing and quantities requested by Gentherm. All other purchase commitments as of June 30, 2023 were immaterial.

Note 8 – (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted (loss) earnings per share give effect to all potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during a period that do not have an anti-dilutive impact to the calculation. In computing the diluted (loss) earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be issued from the exercise of Common Stock equivalents.

The following table illustrates earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 9 – Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities such as copper. Market risks for changes in interest rates relate primarily to its debt obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers not denominated in a location’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness, intercompany investments and include exposures to the Euro, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, North Macedonian Denar, Ukrainian Hryvnia, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, Korean Won, Czech Koruna and Vietnamese Dong.

The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative financial instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Some derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting; for other derivative contracts, we elect to not apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s designated hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. For derivative contracts which can be classified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. When the underlying hedge transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings in the consolidated condensed statements of (loss) income on the same line as the

17


 

gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The Company records the ineffective portion of designated foreign currency and copper commodity hedging instruments, if any, to Cost of sales in the consolidated condensed statements of (loss) income. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

The Company uses an income approach to value derivative instruments, analyzing quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounting such forward values to the present value using benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the instrument’s full term.

The Company is party to a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100,000 and a maturity date of July 2025. This interest rate swap is an undesignated hedge of the Company’s exposure to interest payment fluctuations on a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings that were drawn for the acquisitions of Alfmeier and Dacheng. The periodic changes in fair value is recognized in Interest expense, net.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company sells certain customer trade receivables on a non-recourse basis under factoring arrangements with designated financial institutions. The sale of receivables under these agreements is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and excluded from accounts receivable in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These factoring arrangements include a deferred purchase price component in which a portion of the purchase price for the receivable is paid by the financial institution in cash upon sale and the remaining portion is recorded as a deferred purchase price receivable and paid at a later date. Deferred purchase price receivables are recorded in Other current assets within the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Cash proceeds received upon the sale of the receivables are included in Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and the cash proceeds received on the deferred purchase price receivables are included in Net cash used in investing activities. All factoring arrangements incorporate customary representations, including representations as to validity of amounts due, completeness of performance obligations and absence of commercial disputes.

Receivables factored and availability under receivables factoring agreements balances as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

Market: This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Income: This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations.

Cost: This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Except for derivative instruments (see Note 9) and pension plan assets, the Company had no material financial assets and liabilities that were carried at fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilized a third-party to assist in the Level 3 fair value estimates of other intangible assets for recent acquisitions (see Note 2) and goodwill of the Medical reporting unit (see Note 5). The estimated fair values of these assets were based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates, generally utilizing income and market approaches. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no other significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Items Not Carried at Fair Value

The Company uses an income valuation technique to measure the fair values of its debt instruments by converting amounts of future cash flows to a single present value amount using rates based on current market expectations (Level 2 inputs). As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of the indebtedness under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were not materially different than the estimated fair values because the interest rates on variable rate debt approximated rates currently available to the Company (see Note 6).

Note 11 – Equity

In December 2020, the Board of Directors of Gentherm Incorporated (“Board of Directors”) authorized a stock repurchase program (the “2020 Stock Repurchase Program”). Under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150,000 of its issued and outstanding common stock over a three-year period, expiring December 15, 2023.

20


 

Repurchases may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations. Any such repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions. Repurchases may be funded from cash on hand, available borrowings or proceeds from potential debt or other capital markets sources. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $9,996 and $19,993, respectively, of shares under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program with an average price paid per share of $59.71 and $59.49, respectively. The 2020 Stock Repurchase Program had $110,007 of repurchase authorization remaining as of June 30, 2023.

The amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss were included in Cost of sales.

The Company expects all of the existing gains and losses related to foreign currency derivatives reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2023 to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. See Note 9 for additional information about derivative financial instruments and the effects from reclassification to Net (loss) income.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to unusual or infrequent items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in respective jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realizability of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the composition and timing of actual earnings compared to annual projections. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as our tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes, the effect of the change on prior interim periods is included in the income tax provision in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Income tax expense was $4,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 on earnings before income tax of $3,291, representing an effective tax rate of 147.1 %. The pre-tax earnings included the effect of an impairment loss of $19,509 with a tax benefit of $2,423. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit related to the impairment loss, income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) and an impact related to legal entity restructuring, partially offset by the impact of research and development credits in various jurisdictions.

Income tax expense was $3,919 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on earnings before income tax of $10,991, representing an effective tax rate of 35.7 %. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the GILTI, and the quarterly accrual for uncertain tax positions partially offset by the impact of certain favorable tax effects on equity vesting.

Income tax expense was $8,570 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 on earnings before income tax of $14,982, representing an effective tax rate of 57.2 %. The pre-tax earnings included the effect of an impairment loss of $19,509 with a tax benefit of $2,423. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit related to the impairment loss, income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of GILTI, the quarterly accrual for uncertain tax positions and an impact related to legal entity restructuring, partially offset by the impact of research and development credits in various jurisdictions and certain favorable tax effects of equity vesting.

Income tax expense was $8,214 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 on earnings before income tax of $27,033, representing an effective tax rate of 30.4 %. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of GILTI, and the quarterly accrual for uncertain tax positions partially offset by the impact of certain favorable tax effects of equity vesting.

Overview

Gentherm Incorporated is the global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies for the automotive and medical industries. Automotive products include variable temperature Climate Control Seats, heated automotive interior systems (including heated seats, steering wheels, armrests and other components), battery performance solutions, cable systems, lumbar and massage comfort solutions, valve systems, and other electronic devices. Our automotive products can be found on vehicles manufactured by nearly all the major original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) operating in North America and Europe, and several major OEMs in Asia. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities. Medical products include patient temperature management systems. Our medical products can be found in hospitals throughout the world, primarily in the US, China, Germany and Brazil. The Company is also developing a number of new technologies and products that will help enable improvements to existing products, improve health, wellness and patient outcomes and will lead to new product applications for existing and new and adjacent markets.

Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the OEMs, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles, our product content per vehicle, and other factors that may limit or otherwise impact production by us, our supply chain and our customers. Historically, new vehicle demand and product content (i.e. vehicle features) have been driven by macroeconomic and other factors, such as interest rates, automotive manufacturer and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends and government and tax incentives. Vehicle content has also been driven by trends in consumer preferences, such as preferences for smart devices and features, personalized user experience, and comfort, health and wellness. Economic volatility or weakness, as well as geopolitical factors, in North America, Europe or Asia, have had and could result in a significant reduction in automotive sales and production by our customers, which have had and would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We believe our diversified OEM customer base and geographic revenue base, along with our flexible cost structure, have well positioned us to withstand the impact of industry downturns and benefit from industry upturns in the ordinary course. However, shifts in the mix of global automotive production to higher cost regions or to

26


 

vehicles that contain less of our product content as well as continuing production challenges and inflationary pressures could adversely impact our profitability. In addition, we may be adversely impacted by volatility or weakness in markets for hybrid or electric vehicles specifically. We believe our products offer certain advantages for hybrid and electric vehicles, including improved energy efficiency, and position us well to withstand changes in the volume mix between vehicles driven by internal combustion engines and hybrid and other electric vehicles. We believe our industry is increasingly progressing towards a focus on human comfort and health, which is evidenced by increasing adoption rates for comfort products. We believe that products we are developing, such as ClimateSense® and our acquisition of Alfmeier’s pneumatic comfort solutions, position us well to address trends in consumer preferences such as personalized user experience, comfort, health and wellness.

Recent Trends

Global Conditions

Since 2020, the global economy has experienced significant volatility and supply chain disruption, which has had a widespread adverse effect on the global automotive industry. These macroeconomic conditions have resulted in fluctuating demand and production disruptions, facility closures, labor shortages and work stoppages. In addition, global inflation has increased significantly beginning in 2021. Rising costs of materials, labor, equipment and other inputs used to manufacture and sell our products, including freight and logistics costs, have impacted, and may in the future impact, operating costs and operating results. We continue to employ measures to mitigate the impact of cost increases through identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible. However, we have been unable to fully mitigate or pass through the increases in our operating costs, which may continue in the future.

Although we are optimistic that the worst of the global macroeconomic volatility is in the past, the direct and indirect impacts on our markets, operations, and financial performance remain unpredictable. As a result of this continued uncertainty, there may still be impacts on our industry, operations, workforce, supply chains, distribution systems, and demand for our products in the future which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two Framework. The effective dates for different aspects of the directive are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025. A significant number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact on future periods of these tax regulations.

Fit-for-Growth 2.0

During the first half of 2023, we launched Fit-for-Growth 2.0 to execute our long-term strategy that includes a profitability improvement initiative with a plan to achieve high teens Adjusted EBITDA margin rate by 2026. Fit-for-Growth 2.0 is expected to deliver cost reductions through manufacturing productivity, manufacturing footprint optimization, value engineering, sourcing excellence and cost synergies from the Alfmeier acquisition. Additionally, the program will drive operating expense efficiency to leverage scale as we continue our growth path towards our target of over $2 billion dollars by 2026.

Acquisitions

On July 13, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Jiangmen Dacheng Medical Equipment Co. Ltd (“Dacheng”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, IOB Medical, Inc. Dacheng is a privately held manufacturer of medical materials and medical equipment, including patient temperature management solutions, for numerous local and international customers. The acquisition provided Gentherm Medical a local presence in China’s high-growth market for patient warming devices and other medical device products, and expanded overall manufacturing capacity to include a low-cost manufacturing site. The total consideration transferred was $35.0 million.

On August 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Alfmeier Präzision SE (“Alfmeier”) a global leader in automotive lumbar and massage comfort solutions and a leading provider of advanced valve systems, integrated electronics and software. The acquisition further expanded the Company's value proposition beyond thermal in comfort, health, wellness, and energy efficiency and aligned well with global consumer demand for expanded offerings in vehicle passenger comfort. The total consideration for this acquisition was $170.7 million.

See Note 2, “Acquisitions” to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report for additional information.

Impairments – Non-Automotive Electronics Business

On December 31, 2022, the Company approved a plan to exit its non-automotive electronics business to strengthen the Company’s core business and focus its resources and equipment with businesses and investments that are more strategic and profitable. The Company will continue to sell certain non-automotive electronics products until the exit is complete. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $9.4 million, $5.6 million and $0.7 million for write downs of inventory, intangible assets and property and equipment, respectively, within the Automotive segment.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $0.6 and $2.1 million for the write down of inventory within the Automotive segment. This charge is recorded in Cost of sales.

The Company is no longer pursuing a sale of the business and intends to wind-down the operations of the business by the end of 2023, subject to discussions with customers and suppliers.

Impairments - Medical Segment

As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Medical reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s Medical reporting unit did not perform in-line with forecasted results primarily driven by slower than anticipated revenue growth. As a result, an indicator of impairment was identified and the Company performed an interim quantitative assessment as of June 30, 2023. The results of this quantitative analysis indicated the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit by $17.1 million, and accordingly an impairment expense was recorded for $19.5 million that includes the associated deferred tax effect.

The primary factors leading to the decline in value from the analysis performed at December 31, 2022 were a reduction in expected future cash flows, due to the Company re-evaluating our forecasted results and an increase in the discount rate which is based on the Medical reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital. The decline in expected future cash flows resulted primarily from a reduction of forecasted revenue growth rates. If the Company’s revised expectation of revenue growth is not achieved or if the estimated growth rates are reduced because of new information or experience, the fair value of the Medical reporting unit could decrease, which could result in further impairment of goodwill.

Light Vehicle Production Volumes

Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles, and our content per vehicle, and other factors that may limit or otherwise impact production by us, our supply chain and our customers. According to the forecasting firm S&P Global Mobility (July 2023 release), global light vehicle production in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are shown below (in millions of units):

The S&P Global Mobility (July 2023 release) forecasted light vehicle production volume in the Company’s key markets for full year 2023 to increase to 71.8 million units, a 6.2% increase from full year 2022 light vehicle production volumes. Forecasted light vehicle production volumes are a component of the data we use in forecasting future business. However, these forecasts generally are updated monthly, and future forecasts may be significantly different from period to period due to changes in macroeconomic conditions or matters specific to the automotive industry. Further, due to differences in regional product mix at our manufacturing facilities, as well as material production schedules from our customers for our products on specific vehicle programs, our future forecasted results do not directly correlate with the global and/or regional light vehicle production forecasts of S&P Global Mobility or other third-party sources.

New Business Awards

We believe that innovation is an important element to gaining market acceptance of our products and strengthening our market position. During the second quarter of 2023, we secured new automotive business awards totaling $670 million in the quarter. Automotive new business awards represent the aggregate projected lifetime revenue of new awards provided by our customers to Gentherm in the applicable period, with the value based on the price and volume projections received from each customer as of the award date. Although automotive new business awards are not firm customer orders, we believe that new business awards are an indicator of future revenue. New business awards are not projections of revenue or future business as of June 30, 2023, the date of this Report or any other date. Customer projections regularly change over time and we do not update our calculation of any new business award after the date initially communicated. Automotive new business awards in the second quarter 2023 also do not reflect, in particular, the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges on future business. Revenues resulting from automotive new business awards also are subject to additional risks and uncertainties that are included in this Report or incorporated by reference in “Forward-Looking Statements” above.

Stock Repurchase Program

In December 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the “2020 Stock Repurchase Program”). Under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its issued and outstanding Common Stock over a three-year period, expiring December 15, 2023. Repurchases under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of shares under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program with an average price paid per share of $59.71 and $59.49, respectively. The 2020 Stock Repurchase Program had $110.0 million repurchase authorization remaining as of June 30, 2023.

Reportable Segments

The Company has two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Automotive and Medical.

See Note 14, “Segment Reporting” to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report for a description of our reportable segments as well as their proportional contribution to the Company’s reported product revenues and operating income (loss). The financial information used by our chief operating decision maker to assess operating performance and allocate resources is based on these reportable segments.

Product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 42.8% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in product revenues is due to favorable volumes in all product lines within the Automotive segment except Electronics and Other Automotive, and the inclusion of sales from Alfmeier and Dacheng since the acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts. Currency impacts included unfavorable impacts primarily from the Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won, partially offset by favorable impacts from the Euro.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 41.2% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cost of sales is primarily due to increased volumes in our Automotive segment, the inclusion of expenses from the acquired businesses, inflation associated with wages, a non-automotive electronics inventory charge related to the exit of the business, higher quality costs, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts primarily attributable to the Euro and Mexican Peso. These increases were partially offset by favorable foreign currency impacts primarily attributable to the Chinese Renminbi, Ukrainian Hryvnia, and Korean Won, and lower freight costs.

Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 35.1% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily related to a higher balance on our revolving credit agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by the mark to market benefit of the Company’s interest rate swap during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Income tax expense was $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, on earnings before income tax of $3.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 147.1 %. The pre-tax earnings included the effect of an impairment loss of $19.5 million with a tax benefit of $2.4 million. Adjusted for the impairment impacts, the effective rate was 31.9%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit related to the impairment loss, income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) and an impact related to legal entity restructuring, partially offset by the impact of research and development credits in various jurisdictions.

Income tax expense was $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on earnings before income tax of $11.0 million representing an effective tax rate of 35.7%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the GILTI, and the increase of accruals for uncertain tax positions partially offset by the impact of certain favorable tax effects on equity vesting.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Our cash requirements consist principally of working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, operating lease payments, income tax payments and general corporate purposes. We generally reinvest available cash flows from operations into our business, while opportunistically utilizing our authorized stock repurchase program. Further, we continuously evaluate acquisition and investment opportunities that will enhance our business strategies.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $168.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $282.7 million of availability under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We may issue debt or equity securities, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. However, there can be no assurance equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current shareholders.

We continue to expect to be able to move funds between different countries to manage our global liquidity needs without material adverse tax implications, subject to current monetary policies and the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We utilize a combination of strategies, including dividends, cash pooling arrangements, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances to provide the funds necessary to meet our global liquidity needs. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Gentherm Incorporated. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled approximately $117.8 million. If additional non-U.S. cash was needed for our U.S. operations, we may be required to accrue and pay withholding if we were to distribute such funds from non-U.S. subsidiaries to the U.S.; however, based on our current liquidity needs and strategies, we do not anticipate a need to accrue and pay such additional amounts.

We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, borrowings available under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and receivables factoring arrangements, and cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Credit Agreement

Gentherm, together with certain of its subsidiaries, maintain a revolving credit note (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was entered into on June 10, 2022 and amended and restated in its entirety the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 27, 2019, by and among Gentherm, certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and the Agent. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a maximum borrowing capacity of $500 million and matures on June 10, 2027. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants, that, among other things, (i) prohibit or limit the ability of the borrowers and any material subsidiary to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends, make certain types of investments (including acquisitions), enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets or enter into certain other transactions outside the ordinary course of business, and (ii) require that Gentherm maintain a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (based on consolidated EBITDA for the applicable trailing four fiscal quarters) as of the end of any fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Finance Leases

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of outstanding finance leases.

Other Sources of Liquidity

The Company is party to receivable factoring agreements with unrelated third parties under which we can sell receivables for certain account debtors, on a revolving basis, subject to outstanding balances and concentration limits. The receivable factoring agreements are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. Some of the agreements, including those assumed through the acquisition of Alfmeier, have deferred purchase price arrangements. As of June 30, 2023, there were $2.5 million available under the receivable factoring agreement.

Material Cash Requirements

The Company continues to enter into agreements with suppliers to reserve the right to purchase certain semiconductor chips over periods of 12-24 months. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s total commitments for these semiconductor chip agreements was $34.6 million. See Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report for additional information.

Except as described above, there have been no material changes in our cash requirements since December 31, 2022, the end of fiscal year 2022. See Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding our material cash requirements.

Effects of Inflation

The automotive component supply industry has historically been subject to inflationary pressures with respect to materials and labor. Beginning in 2021 and continuing through 2023, the industry has experienced inflationary cost increases in certain materials and components, labor and transportation. Although the Company has developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher material component costs and transportation costs, these strategies, together with commercial negotiations with Gentherm's customers and suppliers have not fully offset to date and may not fully offset our future cost increases. Such inflationary cost increase may increase the cash required to fund our operations by a material amount.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have

37


 

been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update our estimates, assumptions or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities, except for the impairment of the Medical segment goodwill. See Note 3, “Restructuring and Impairments” to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report for additional information. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company as of June 30, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities such as copper. Market risks for changes in interest rates relate primarily to the Company's debt obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers not denominated in a location’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness, acquisitions denominated in foreign currencies, intercompany investments and include exposures to the Euro, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, North Macedonian Denar, Ukrainian Hryvnia, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, Korean Won, Czech Koruna and Vietnamese Dong.

The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative financial instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Some derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting; for other derivative contracts, we elect to not apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s designated hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. For derivative contracts that can be classified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. When the underlying hedge transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings in the consolidated condensed statements of (loss) income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The Company records the ineffective portion of foreign currency and copper commodity hedging instruments, if any, to Cost of sales, and the ineffective portion of interest rate swaps, if any, to Interest expense, net in the consolidated condensed statements of (loss) income. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

Information related to the fair values of all derivative instruments in our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 is set forth in Note 9, “Financial Instruments” in the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report.

Based on the amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase or decrease) in interest rates would impact annual interest expense by $2.2 million. To hedge the Company's exposure to interest payment fluctuations on a portion of these borrowings, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100.0 million.

Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
