Exhibit 99.1

Gentherm Reports 2024 Third Quarter Results

Strong Outperformance Over Light Vehicle Production

Secured Third Quarter Record $600 Million in Automotive New Business Awards

Updates 2024 Guidance

NORTHVILLE, Michigan, October 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 third quarter ending September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter Highlights

 

 

Phil Eyler, the Company's President and CEO, said, “The financial and operating results of the third quarter reflect the continued momentum of our strategy to bring innovation and unique solutions to our customers. Our Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue outperformed actual light vehicle production in our key markets by nearly 800 basis points. We achieved quarterly automotive new business awards of $600 million, a third quarter record, keeping us on track for annual awards of over $2 billion for the second consecutive year.

He added, “We continue to execute on securing awards and launching new programs, particularly for our new innovative solutions. We had our first market launch of ClimateSense® with a five-zone micro-climate solution on the Cadillac Escalade IQ. Additionally, we won an award for ComfortScale™, our patented, next generation integrated thermal, lumbar and massage system. We have seen an acceleration of new technology wins that we expect will fuel future growth.

He concluded, “Year to date, our relentless focus on operational excellence and financial discipline has yielded not only continued growth over market, but also a nearly 100 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA margin. Including share repurchases in the quarter, we returned more than $100 million dollars to shareholders through share repurchases in the last twelve months. I would like to thank the Gentherm team for their unwavering efforts to drive our business and generate shareholder returns.”

2024 Third Quarter Financial Review

 

Product revenues for the third quarter of 2024 increased by $5.3 million, or 1.5%, as compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 1.0% year over year.

Automotive revenues increased 1.1% year over year. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, phasing out the non-automotive and contract manufacturing electronics business as well as one-time benefits from recoveries in both periods, Automotive revenues increased 1.2% year over year. Revenues from

---

Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions increased 3.3% in the third quarter compared to the prior-year period.

According to S&P Global Mobility’s mid-October report, actual light vehicle production decreased by 4.5% in the third quarter when compared with the same quarter of 2023 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan, and Korea.

Gentherm Medical revenue increased 11.3% year over year, primarily as a result of higher Blanketrol® sales in the U.S., and Astopad® in Europe. Adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation, Medical revenues increased 10.4%.

See the “Revenues by Product Category and Reconciliation of Foreign Currency Translation Impact” table included below for additional detail.

Gross margin rate increased to 25.5% in the current-year period, as compared with 23.5% 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, as well as the impact of our previously announced exit of the non-automotive electronics business. These were partially offset by annual price reductions and start-up costs from our new plants opening in Monterrey, Mexico and Tangier, Morrocco.

Net research and development expenses of $23.0 million in the quarter were relatively unchanged compared to the prior-year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $36.9 million in the quarter decreased $1.4 million, or 3.6%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by acquisition and integration expenses in the prior year.

Restructuring expenses, net of $2.7 million in the current-year period increased $1.6 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 and previously announced footprint optimization.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $48.1 million in the quarter compared with $47.7 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $0.4 million or 0.9%.

Income tax expense in the quarter was $3.4 million, as compared with $6.9 million in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was approximately 18% in the quarter.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.51 compared with $0.48 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring expenses, net, non-cash purchase accounting impact, non-automotive electronics inventory benefit, unrealized currency loss, and other items specified on the table below, was $0.75. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $0.64.

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 as reconciliations below to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information contained herein, statements in this release are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent Gentherm Incorporated's goals, beliefs, plans and expectations about its prospects for the future and other future events. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof or as of the date specified herein and are based on management's reasonable expectations and beliefs. In making these statements we rely on assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of important assumptions, significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other factors that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially from that described in or indicated by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

---

The foregoing risks should be read in conjunction with the Company's reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including “Risk Factors,” in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC filings, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties. In addition, with reasonable frequency, we have entered into business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and other significant transactions. Such forward-looking statements do not include the potential impact of any such transactions that may be completed after the date hereof, each of which may present material risks to the Company’s future business and financial results.

Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

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, segment revenue and product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses; Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenues; and 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 expenses, net, 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 expenses, net, 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, segment revenue or product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses as such revenue, excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excluding the other items specified in the reconciliation tables herein. The Company defines Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenues as Automotive revenue excluding specified product revenues and the impact of non-automotive electronics and contract manufacturing electronics revenues. The Company defines adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding impairment of intangible assets and property and equipment, restructuring expenses, net, 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 October 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 (loss), 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.

Proprietary © Gentherm 2024 11 2024 Guidance As of July 31, 2024 As of October 30, 2024(1) Product Revenues Low end of $1.5B - $1.6B $1.45B – $1.47B Adjusted EBITDA Margin Rate Above mid-point of 12.5% - 13.5% Near mid-point of 12.5% – 13.5% Adjusted Effective Tax Rate 26% - 29% No change Capital Expenditures $65M - $75M No change Based on the current forecast of customer orders, our expectations of near-term conditions, and light vehicle production in our relevant markets decreasing at low to mid single digit rate for full year 2024 versus 2023, and a EUR to USD exchange rate of $1.08/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.
