Exhibit 99.1

Gentherm Reports 2024 First Quarter Results

Achieved 86% Year over Year Growth in Net Income

Secured $530M of Automotive New Business Awards

Reaffirms 2024 Guidance

NORTHVILLE, Michigan, April 30, 2024 /Global Newswire/ -- Gentherm (NASDAQ:THRM), the global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies for the automotive industry and a leader in medical patient temperature management systems, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2024.

First Quarter Highlights

 

Product revenues of $356.0 million decreased 2.1% from $363.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues decreased 1.3% year over year
Automotive revenues decreased 2.3% year over year; excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, automotive revenues decreased 1.5% year over year
GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.47 as compared with $0.24 for the prior-year period
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (see table herein) was $0.62. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $0.49
Secured automotive new business awards totaling $530 million in the quarter

 

Phil Eyler, the Company's President and CEO, said “I am proud of the Gentherm team’s solid execution to start the year. We continue to see strong demand from OEMs for our thermal comfort, massage and lumbar solutions and secured $530 million dollars of automotive new business awards, setting a record for a first quarter. Notably, we recently won a conquest high-end lumbar and massage award from General Motors for their next generation truck platform including Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. With this win, we will supply the entire suite of climate and comfort seating solutions including seat heat, CCS®, lumbar and massage as well as multifunction electronic control unit, for our largest customer, on their largest platform. Despite the volatile global production environment, revenues from our Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions outperformed actual light vehicle production in our key markets by approximately 300 basis points.

Eyler continued, “On the profitability front, our Fit-for-Growth 2.0 initiatives enabled over 200 basis points year over year improvement in gross margin rate through supplier cost reductions, value engineering and increased productivity at the factories. Our momentum in the first quarter positions us well to continue to drive revenue growth and margin expansion in 2024.”

2024 First Quarter Financial Review

 

Product revenues for the first quarter of 2024 decreased by $7.6 million, or 2.1%, as compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues decreased 1.3% year over year.

Automotive revenues decreased 2.3% year over year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, the phasing out of the non-automotive electronics business as well as one-time benefits from recoveries and retrofits in both periods, Automotive revenues increased 0.1%. Revenues from Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions increased 2.2% in the first quarter compared to the prior year period. According to S&P Global’s mid-April report, actual light vehicle production decreased by 0.6% in the current year’s first quarter when compared with the first quarter of 2023 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, Gentherm Medical revenue increased 4.7% year over year, primarily as a result of higher FilterFlo® and Astopad® sales.

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

Gross margin rate increased to 24.9% in the current-year period, as compared with 22.3% in the prior-year period. The increase from the prior-year period was driven by Fit-for-Growth 2.0 initiatives including supplier cost reductions, value engineering activities, and net productivity at the factories as well as the non-automotive inventory charge in the prior-year period. These were partially offset by lower price recoveries relative to the prior year period and negative impact from foreign exchange.

Net research and development expenses of $22.7 million in the 2024 first quarter decreased $2.4 million, or 9.5% as compared with the prior-year period, primarily related to the reduction in resources allocated to certain battery performance solutions products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $40.7 million in the 2024 first quarter increased $3.7 million, or 9.9%, versus the prior-year period.The year over year increase was primarily driven by higher compensation expenses and increased investment in information technology.

Restructuring expenses of $7.2 million in the 2024 first quarter increased $6.0 million, versus the prior-year period primarily as a result of discrete restructuring activities associated with the Company’s Fit-for-Growth 2.0 initiatives.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $43.5 million in the 2024 first quarter compared with $41.5 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $2.0 million or 4.9%.

Income tax expense in the 2024 first quarter was $3.5 million, as compared with $3.7 million in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was approximately 19% in the 2024 first quarter.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.47 compared with $0.24 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring expenses, unrealized currency (gain) loss, non-cash purchase accounting impact, non-automotive electronics inventory (benefit) charge, acquisition and integration expenses and the tax impacts of such adjustments (see table herein), was $0.62. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $0.49.

 

The Company provides various 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.

Guidance

 

The Company reaffirms its full-year 2024 guidance that was initially provided in its year-end 2023 earnings release on February 21, 2024:

Product revenues between $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion, based on the current forecast of customer orders, light vehicle production in the Company’s key markets declining at a low single digit rate, and a EUR to USD exchange rate of $1.10/Euro

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”), free cash flow, Net Debt, revenue excluding foreign currency translation, Automotive revenue excluding the impact of non-automotive electronics, one-time benefits from recoveries and retrofits and foreign currency translation, Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue excluding the impact of one-time benefits from recoveries and retrofits and foreign currency translation, adjusted operating expenses, 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, 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. 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 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 Automotive revenue excluding the impact of non-automotive electronics, one-time benefits from recoveries and retrofits and foreign currency translation as Automotive revenue excluding the items specified. The Company defines Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue excluding the impact of one-time benefits from recoveries and retrofits and foreign currency translation as Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue ( which includes primarily Climate Control Seat, Seat Heaters, Steering Wheel Heaters and Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions) excluding the items specified. 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’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 April 30, 2024.

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.

2024 Guidance 2024 E Product Revenue (1)(2) $1.5B – $1.6B Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1)(2) 12.5% – 13.5% Adjusted Effective Tax Rate 26% – 29% Capital Expenditures $65M – $75M Based on the current forecast of customer orders and light vehicle production in the Company’s key markets declining at a low single-digit rate in 2024 versus 2023. Assumes a EUR to USD exchange rate of $1.10/Euro. 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. Proprietary © Gentherm 2024 12
