Current report

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of our Greenville, South Carolina manufacturing facility, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.7 million. The gain on sale was recorded as a reduction of restructuring expenses, net in the consolidated condensed statements of income.

Current report

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $0.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for employee separation costs and $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for other costs, including the gain on sale of the Greenville facility.

Current report

Stock repurchases are subject to excise tax, subject to specified exclusions and adjustments. Excise tax of $0.4 million was charged to common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

Net research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were relatively unchanged as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Current report

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized expenses of $1.1 million for employee separation costs and $0 million for other costs. These restructuring expenses primarily relate to discrete restructuring actions focused on the reduction of global overhead expenses.

Current report

Income tax expense was $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 on earnings before income tax of $22.8 million, 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. Federal statutory rate and the unfavorable impact of the GILTI, partially offset by the impact of the release of accruals for uncertain tax positions.

Previous wording

We have a global manufacturing footprint that enables us to serve our customers in the regions they operate and shift production between regions to remain competitive. In recent years there have been various ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such as the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and in the Middle East, heightened tensions in the Red Sea, and potential tensions in the South China Sea. These conflicts have interrupted ocean freight shipping and if prolonged or intensified, could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial results. We, like other manufacturers, have a high proportion of fixed structural costs, and therefore relatively small changes in industry vehicle production can have a substantial effect on our financial results. If industry vehicle sales were to decline to levels significantly below our planning assumption, the decline could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.

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 2024, we secured automotive new business awards totaling $660 million.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

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. Federal statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the GILTI and an impact related to legal entity restructuring, partially offset by the impact of research and development credits in various jurisdictions.
