Product revenues of $366.2 million increased 10.0% from $333.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 8.5% year over year

•

Automotive revenues increased 10.0% year over year; excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and contributions from the Alfmeier acquisition, increased 3.1% year over year

•

•

Secured new automotive business awards totaling $520 million in the quarter

(1)

We provide adjusted diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures in this release. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for additional information, including definitions, usefulness for investors and limitations, as well reconciliations below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Phil Eyler, the Company's President and CEO, said “I am pleased with the continued strong execution by the global Gentherm team, enabling us to deliver record quarterly Climate Control Seat and Steering Wheel Heaters revenues as well as the highest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA in ten quarters. In addition, we secured $520 million in new automotive business awards in the third quarter, including a breakthrough multi-function electronic control unit award from General Motors. We also recently won our first combined thermal and pneumatic massage comfort award with Li Auto, one of the rising EV manufacturers in China.

He concluded: “While the automotive production environment remains challenging including the UAW strike, our relentless focus on strong operational execution, innovation and cash flow generation along with our record performance on new business awards position us well to continue to drive shareholder value over the long term.”

2023 Third Quarter Financial Review

Product revenues for the third quarter of 2023 increased by $33.2 million, or 10.0%, as compared with the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 8.5% year over year.

Automotive revenues increased 10.0% year over year as a result of the contribution from Alfmeier, as well as record quarterly revenues in Climate Control Seat and Steering Wheel Heaters, partially offset by decreased revenue in Electronics, Battery Performance Solutions and Other Automotive product categories year-over-year. Adjusting for foreign currency translation and excluding the contribution from Alfmeier, organic Automotive revenues increased 3.1% year over year. According to S&P Global Mobility’s mid-October report, actual light vehicle production increased by 4.6% in the current year’s third quarter when compared with the third quarter of 2022 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

Gentherm Medical revenue increased 9.7% year over year, primarily as a result of increased revenues from its Dacheng air warming blankets.

See the “Revenues by Product Category” table included below for additional detail.

Gross margin rate decreased to 23.5% in the current year period, as compared with 24.1% in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period resulted from the acquired Alfmeier business having a lower gross margin rate relative to the Company’s organic Automotive business, non-automotive electronics inventory charge, material and wage inflation, and lower price recoveries from customers. These were partially offset by lower freight costs, increased productivity at the factories, and fixed cost leverage from higher unit volume.

Net research and development expenses of $23.2 million in the third quarter increased $0.5 million, or 2.1% over the prior year period, primarily as a result of the additional expenses from the Alfmeier business, partially offset by higher customer reimbursements for research and development expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $38.2 million in the third quarter increased $3.4 million, or 9.6%, versus the prior year period.The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by additional expenses from the acquired businesses and higher compensation expenses.

Acquisition and integration expenses of $1.6 million in the current year period were $9.7 million lower than the prior year period as a result of reduced expenses associated with the Alfmeier acquisition. Restructuring expenses were $1.1 million in the current year period.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $47.7 million in the 2023 third quarter compared with $41.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of $6.1 million or 14.6%.

Income tax expense in the third quarter was $6.9 million, as compared with $5.8 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 30.4% in the 2023 third quarter.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter was $0.48 compared with earnings per share of $0.29 for the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding non-automotive electronics inventory charge, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring expenses, and unrealized currency gain (see table herein), was $0.64. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior year period was $0.70.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects including transaction expenses, debt retirement expenses, impairment of assets held for sale, impairment of goodwill, gain or loss on sale of business, restructuring expense, unrealized currency gain or loss and unrealized revaluation of derivatives. Note that in recent prior periods, the Company did not exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Forward-looking references to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin herein exclude the impact of stock-based compensation as newly defined. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as earnings adjusted by gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects including transaction expenses, debt retirement expenses, impairment of assets held for sale, impairment of goodwill, gain or loss on sale of business, restructuring expense, unrealized currency gain or loss and unrealized revaluation of derivatives. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities less Purchases of property and equipment. 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 organic revenue as revenue, excluding revenue from acquired businesses. Note that in recent prior periods, the Company used organic revenue instead to be revenue excluding foreign currency translation (see below). The Company defines revenue excluding acquired businesses and foreign currency translation as revenue, excluding the revenue from acquired businesses and the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. The Company defines revenue excluding foreign currency translation as revenue, excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. The Company defines adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding impairment of intangible assets and property and equipment, restructuring, related non-cash stock-based compensation, acquisition, integration and divestiture expenses. The Company defines pro forma product revenues as product revenues including the product revenues of Alfmeier as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. The Company defines pro forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, including the results of Alfmeier as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. The Company defines pro forma Adjusted EBITDA margin as pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by pro forma product revenues. The Company defines adjusted effective tax rate as income tax expense excluding the tax benefit from non-cash goodwill impairment divided by earnings before income tax excluding the impact of non-cash goodwill impairment.

The Company’s reconciliations are included in this release or can be found in the supplemental materials furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Form 8-K dated October 26, 2023.

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Free Cash Flow and Net Debt 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 and Adjusted EPS. 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.

Starting in 2023, the company is excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Pro forma amounts include the results of Alfmeier as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. Unaudited pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements to better facilitate the assessment and measurement of the Company's operating performance. Such information is not, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results of the combined company that would have been achieved or may be achieved in the future. Regarding 2023 guidance, excluding the impact of non-cash goodwill impairment on earnings before income tax of $19.5 million, which includes the associated deferred tax effect, and income tax benefit of $2.4 million. Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items that would impact net income margin, such as foreign currency gains and losses, we are unable to reasonably estimate net income margin, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA margin. Accordingly, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin with respect to the guidance provided.
