Tariffs and Global Trade Environment
Current report
In April 2025, the U.S. government announced additional tariffs on various goods imported to the U.S. and other countries announced reciprocal tariffs on goods imported to such countries, including goods used by or manufactured by us. Some of these additional tariffs have been implemented and others have been conditionally paused, and it is reasonably possible that new or additional tariffs will be periodically announced given the current global trade environment. We continue to monitor and evaluate the direct and indirect impacts of these tariffs and heightened global trade disputes. Our business model of manufacturing by regions for the regions limit the global impact of certain trade restrictions and tariffs, with our primary tariff exposure relating to our Mexico operations that sell products into the U.S. Further, the majority of our supply components are not subject to the additional tariffs or are compliant with exceptions, and we believe that we can generally mitigate the direct impact of any such tariffs currently in effect by directly or indirectly passing the additional costs through to customers. We are taking and will continue to take additional actions to mitigate any direct and indirect impacts.
Current report
As of March 31, 2025, there was no material impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. However, these matters are changing rapidly and there is significant uncertainty as to how long and to what degree that Gentherm and the automotive industry will be impacted by these additional tariffs, the adverse global trade environment and the resulting economic uncertainty. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this report for additional information.

Previous report
Product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 0.1% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in product revenues is due to favorable automotive volumes, partially offset by unfavorable pricing, lower cost recoveries from customers and unfavorable foreign currency impacts primarily attributable to the Chinese Renminbi, the Korean Won and the Japanese Yen.
Previous report
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 2.8% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cost of sales is primarily due to Fit-for-Growth 2.0 initiatives including supplier cost reductions and value engineering activities, as well as the impact of non-automotive inventory charges in the prior-year period and favorable foreign currency impacts primarily attributable to the Chinese Renminbi. These decreases were partially offset by higher automotive volumes, start-up costs from our new plants in Tangier, Morocco and Monterrey, Mexico and unfavorable foreign currency impacts primarily attributable to the Euro and the Mexican Peso.
Previous report
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 2.9% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to higher compensation expenses and increased investment in information technology, partially offset by acquisition and integration expenses in the prior year.
Previous report
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized expenses of $1.8 million for employee separation costs and $2.6 million for other costs, partially offset by $1.7 million of gain on sale of our Greenville, North Carolina facility.

Previous report
Below is a summary of our other income, in thousands, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
Previous report
Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, on earnings before income tax of $19.4 million, representing an effective tax rate of 17.7%. 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. Federal statutory rate, the release of the uncertain tax position reserve accrual due to tax audit settlement, partial valuation allowance release in the U.S. related to its capital loss carryforward, and favorable tax effects of equity vesting, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”).
Previous 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 report
Income tax expense was $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 on earnings before income tax of $37.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 41.0%. The pre-tax earnings included the effect of an impairment loss of $19.5 million with a tax benefit of $2.3 million. Adjusted for the impairment impacts, the effective rate was 31.0%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% 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 research and development credits in various jurisdictions, certain favorable tax effects of equity vesting and the release of accruals for uncertain tax positions.

Our Automotive 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 in North America, Europe or Asia, as well as global geopolitical factors, 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 vehicles that contain less of our product content as well as continuing production challenges and inflationary pressures have adversely impacted our profitability and may continue to do so. In addition, we have been and may in the future 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 and wellness, which is evidenced by increasing adoption rates for comfort products. We believe that products we are developing, such as ClimateSense®, WellSense™, and our acquisition of Alfmeier Präzision SE (“Alfmeier”) pneumatic comfort solutions, position us well to address trends in consumer preferences such as personalized user experience, comfort, health and wellness. Gentherm is an independent partner that can cooperate with any combination of the vehicle OEMs and seat manufacturers globally, including those that are vertically integrated, to create innovative and unique configurations that adapt to industry trends.

Previous wording
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. Although supply chain conditions have steadily improved and certain inflationary pressures have moderated, 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.
Current wording
The global automotive light vehicle industry is impacted by a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions. At times in recent years, the global economy has experienced significant volatility, inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, which have a widespread adverse effect on the global automotive industry. These macroeconomic conditions have resulted in fluctuating demand and production disruptions, facility closures, labor shortages, work stoppages, and increased prices of inputs to our products. Although some supply chain conditions have steadily improved and certain inflationary pressures have moderated, 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 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 have and may continue to 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.

Over the past year, there have been various ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such as the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and heightened tensions in the Red Sea and 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. Further, there is the potential that certain political pressures, such as changes to international trade agreements, increases in tariffs, import quotas or other trade restrictions or actions, including export controls and other retaliatory responses to such actions, could affect the operations of our OEM customers, resulting in reduced automotive production in certain regions or shifts in the mix of production to higher cost regions. See “—Tariffs and Global Trade Environment” above for further information on the impact of tariffs and the global trade environment in 2025.

We believe that innovation is an important element to gaining market acceptance of our products and strengthening our market position. During the third quarter of 2024, we secured automotive new business awards totaling $600 million. 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 automotive new business awards are an indicator of future revenue. Automotive new business awards are not projections of revenue or future business as of September 30, 2024, the date of this Report or any other date. Customer projections regularly change over time, and we do not update our calculation of any automotive new business award after the date initially communicated. Automotive new business awards in the third quarter 2024 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.

The automotive component supply industry has historically been subject to inflationary pressures with respect to materials and labor. Since 2021, the automotive industry has experienced a period of significant volatility in the costs of certain materials and components, labor and transportation. Although supply chain conditions have steadily improved and certain inflationary pressures have moderated, 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. These higher costs and cost increases due to inflation are expected to continue for the foreseeable future as demand remains elevated and supply remains constrained. Although the Company has developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher material component costs and transportation costs through sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible, 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.
