Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 – Overview

Gentherm Incorporated, a Michigan corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Gentherm”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies. Our automotive products include variable temperature Climate Control Seats (CCS®), Climate Control Interiors (CCI™), Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions, Valve Systems, and electronic solutions for climate and comfort technologies. Our automotive products can be found on light vehicles manufactured by nearly all the major original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) operating in North America and Europe, and several major OEMs in Asia. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities. Our medical products include patient temperature management systems that can be found in hospitals throughout the world, primarily in the U.S., China, Germany and Brazil. The Company is also developing a number of new technologies and products that will help enable improvements to existing products, improve health, wellness and patient outcomes and will lead to new product applications for existing and new and adjacent markets.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The information furnished in the consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year.

In preparing these financial statements, management was required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other third-party sources, as appropriate. These estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

All amounts in these notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements are presented in thousands, except share and per share data.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company evaluates its relationship with other entities for consolidation and to identify whether such entities are variable interest entities and to assess whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such entities. Investments in affiliates in which Gentherm does not have control but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method. When Gentherm does not have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally when ownership interest is less than 20%), investments in affiliates are measured at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Revenue Recognition - payments to customers

From time to time, the Company provides cash incentives to customers in exchange for new business awards. The Company evaluates the underlying economics of each amount of consideration payable to a customer to determine the proper accounting by understanding the reasons for the payment, the rights and obligations resulting from the payment, the nature of the promises in the contract, and other relevant facts and circumstances. When the Company concludes that the payment is incurred only if the new business is obtained and the Company expects to recover the amounts from the customer over the term of the new business arrangement, the Company recognizes these payments as an asset. The Company amortizes the asset as a reduction of revenue as products related to the payment are transferred to the customer, based on the total amount of products expected to be sold over the termof the arrangement (generally 5 to 10 years following start of production). The Company evaluates the amounts capitalized each reporting period for recoverability and recognizes a reduction of revenue for any amounts that are no longer expected to be recovered over the term of the business arrangement. Payments to customers that are not capitalized are recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the commitment to make such payments.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total capitalized payments to customers were $16,572 and $14,276, respectively. During thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $202 and $1,246 as reductions of revenue due to amortization and write-off of previously capitalized payments. During thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $121 and $307 as reductions of revenue due to amortization and write-off of previously capitalized payments.

The Company had no other material contract assets or contract liabilities as of September 30, 2025.

Loss on Sale of Land and Building, net

In connection with our move to a new global headquarters location, we completed the sale of our former headquarters building in Northville, Michigan in January 2025. The sale resulted in cash proceeds of $3,740 and a loss on sale of $2,311. In addition, we recognized a gain of $115 for the sale of land in Asia.

Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". ASU 2023-09 enhances income tax disclosures to further disaggregate the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Prospective adoption is required, however, retrospective application is permitted. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 is expected to impact our income tax disclosures beginning with the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, but will have no impact on our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)". ASU 2024-03 enhances disclosures around certain costs and expenses. Retrospective adoption is required for all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently in the process of determining the impact the implementation of ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)". ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs. Retrospective, prospective, or a modified transition approach for adoption are all permitted, as well as early adoption at the beginning of an annual reporting period. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently in the process of determining the impact the implementation of ASU 2025-06 will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 – Restructuring

The Company continuously monitors market developments, industry trends and changing customer needs and in response, has taken and may continue to undertake restructuring actions, as necessary, to execute management’s strategy, streamline operations and optimize the Company’s cost structure. Restructuring actions may include the realignment of existing manufacturing footprint, facility closures or similar actions, either in the normal course of business or pursuant to significant restructuring programs.

These actions may result in employees receiving voluntary or involuntary employee termination benefits, which are mainly statutory requirements or other contractual agreements. Voluntary termination benefits are accrued when an employee accepts the related offer. Involuntary termination benefits are accrued upon the commitment to a termination plan and when the benefit arrangement is communicated to affected employees, or when liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable, depending on the existence of a substantive plan for severance or termination.

2025 Manufacturing Footprint Plan

In July 2025, the Company committed to an additional restructuring plan to further optimize the Company’s manufacturing footprint by realigning its global manufacturing capacity (“2025 Manufacturing Footprint Plan”). As a result, the Company will relocate certain manufacturing activities between existing locations.

The Company expects to incur cash restructuring costs of between $3,000 and $4,000 for employee severance and retention costs and $1,000 of other transition costs primarily for machinery and equipment move and set up costs. Additionally, we expect to incur capital expenditures of between $1,000 and $2,000. The actions under the 2025 Manufacturing Footprint Plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $2,190, for employee separation costs.

2025 EMEA Plan

In February 2025, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to further optimize the Company’s manufacturing footprint by realigning its manufacturing capacity in Europe (“2025 EMEA Plan”). As a result, the Company will close its facility in Plzeň, Czech Republic and relocate the manufacturing activities into other existing facilities within the region.

The Company expects to incur cash restructuring costs of between $4,000 and $6,000 for employee severance and retention costs and between $2,000 and $3,000 of other transition costs primarily for machinery and equipment move and set up costs. Additionally, we expect to incur capital expenditures of between $1,000 and $2,000. The actions under the 2025 EMEA Plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $413 and $3,186, respectively, for employee separation costs and $480 and $813, respectively, for other costs.

2025 Asia Plan

As a result, the Company will relocate certain manufacturing activities from its facility in Shanghai, China to its new facility in Tianjin, China.

The Company expects to incur cash restructuring costs of between $2,000 and $3,000 for employee severance and retention costs and $1,000 of other transition costs primarily for machinery and equipment move and set up costs. Additionally, we expect to incur capital expenditures of between $2,000 and $3,000. The actions under the 2025 Asia Plan are expected to be substantially completed in the first half of 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized restructuring expense of $125 and $2,077, respectively, for employee separation costs and $273 and $390, respectively, for other costs.

Credit Agreement

On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”). The amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date to June 10, 2027.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $500,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a $50,000 sublimit for swing line loans and a $15,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Any amount of the facility utilized for swing line loans or letters of credit outstanding will reduce the amount available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Subject to specified conditions, Gentherm can increase the Revolving Credit Facility or incur secured term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $200,000.

Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all obligations are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and a security interest is granted in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries designated as borrowers, including the stock and membership interests of specified subsidiaries. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants, that, among other things, (i) prohibit or limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends, make certain types of investments (including acquisitions), enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets or enter into certain other transactions outside the ordinary course of business, and (ii) require that Gentherm maintain a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (based on consolidated EBITDA for the applicable trailing four fiscal quarters) as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance, in all material respects, with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, U.S. Dollar denominated loans bear interest at either a base rate (“Base Rate Loans”) or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)rate (“Term SOFR Rate Loans”), plus a margin (“Applicable Rate”). The rate for Base Rate Loans is equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America’s prime rate, or the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%. The rate for Term SOFR Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars is equal to the forward-looking Term SOFR rate administered by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange with a term of one month. All loans denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar must be Term SOFR Rate Loans. Interest is payable at least quarterly. Additionally, a commitment fee of between 0.175% to 0.300% is payable on the average daily unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Applicable Rate varies based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio reported by the Company. As long as the Company is not in default of the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lowest and highest possible Applicable Rate is 1.125% and 2.125%, respectively, for Term SOFR Rate Loans and 0.125% and 1.125%, respectively, for Base Rate Loans.

Based upon consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters calculated for purposes of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio,$307,938 remained available for additional borrowings as of September 30, 2025.

The Company had $3,062 and $2,838 of outstanding letters of credit issued as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 respectively.

The scheduled principal maturities of our debt as of September 30, 2025 were as follows:

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Other Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of its business, which may include those arising out of breach of contracts, intellectual property rights, environmental matters, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters which it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters outstanding as of September 30, 2025 will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. Product liability and warranty reserves are recorded separately from legal reserves.

Product Liability and Warranty Matters

Our products subject us to warranty claims and, from time to time product liability claims, based on the Company’s products alleged failure to perform as expected or resulting in alleged bodily injury or property damage. If any of our products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. The Company maintains warranty and product liability insurance coverage at levels based on commercial norms and historical claims experience. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material warranty or product liability claims or liabilities in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims.

The Company accrues warranty obligations for products sold based on management estimates of future failure rates and current claim cost experience, with support from the sales, engineering, quality and legal functions. Using historical information available to the Company, including any claims filed by customers, the warranty accrual is adjusted quarterly to reflect management’s estimate of future claims.

In February 2024, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) announced that Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (“VW”) is recalling 261,257 vehicles from model years 2015-2020 to remedy an alleged problem with a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank system. The suction jet pump is a product originally designed and manufactured by Alfmeier, the business Gentherm acquired in August 2022. No litigation has been threatened or filed as of the date of this report and the Company has not accepted any financial responsibility for the recall. The Company has provided replacement parts for the recall at commercial pricing paid by VW. If the Company is obligated to indemnify VW for the direct and indirect costs associated with the recall, such costs could be material. The Company has insurance policies that generally include coverage of the costs of a recall, subject to insured limits, although the Company’s costs related to manufacturing of replacement parts are generally not covered. In addition, the Company’s purchase agreement of Alfmeier included indemnification provisions under which the Company believes it would have a claim against the sellers. Given the uncertainty that exists concerning the resolution of this matter, as of the date of this report, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount and timing of possible costs that may be incurred by the Company.

In April 2025, NHTSA announced that VW and Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (“Porsche”) are each recalling vehicles from model years 2022-2023 to remedy a problem with their passenger occupant detection system that is alleged to be affected by the crimp connection of the seat cushion heating mat, which is produced by Gentherm. Total vehicles included in these recall campaigns are 13,508. No litigation has been threatened or filed as of the date of this report and the Company has not accepted any financial responsibility for the recalls. If the Company is obligated to indemnify VW and Porsche for the direct and indirect costs associated with the recall, such costs could be material. Insurance policies, noted above, are expected to apply. Given the uncertainty that exists concerning the resolution of this matter, as of the date of this report, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount and timing of possible costs that may be incurred by the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs:

Balance at the end of the period$7,907$3,801

Note 8 – Supplier Finance Program

The Company is party to a supplier finance program with a third-party service provider (“Service Provider”), pursuant to which the Company has offered the opportunity to participate to certain of the Company's suppliers. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s participation and the Company has not pledged any assets to the Service Provider under this program.

Under this program, the Company and supplier initially agree on the contractual payment terms for the goods to be procured for the Company in the ordinary course. A supplier’s participation in this program is voluntary and does not impact its contractual payment terms with the Company, including the payment amount and timing of when payments are due. A participating supplier has the sole discretion to determine whether to discount one or more invoices, if any, to the Service Provider in exchange for payment by the Service Provider on an earlier date than provided for in the contract with the Company. Amounts due to participating suppliers are included in accounts payable in the consolidated condensed balance sheets until the Company makes payment to the Service Provider, even though the payment of such amount will be made to the supplier at an earlier date by the Service Provider. As of September 30,

2025, the Company had supplier obligations that had been confirmed under these arrangements of $25,474. Payments of the Company’s obligations to the Service Provider are reported as operating cash flows in the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

Note 9 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share give effect to all potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during a period that do not have an anti-dilutive impact to the calculation. There wereno potential shares with an anti-dilutive impact during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025. In computing the diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be issued from the exercise of Common Stock equivalents.

The following table illustrates earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 10 – Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities, such as copper.

The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative financial instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Some derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting; for other derivative contracts, we elect to not apply hedge accounting.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company previously sold certain customer trade receivables on a non-recourse basis under factoring arrangements with designated financial institutions. The sale of receivables under these agreements was considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and was accounted for as a true sale and excluded from accounts receivable in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These factoring arrangements included a deferred purchase price component in which a portion of the purchase price for the receivable was paid by the financial institution in cash upon sale and the remaining portion was recorded as a deferred purchase price receivable and paid at a later date. Deferred purchase price receivables are recorded in other current assets within the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Cash proceeds received upon the sale of the receivables are included in net cash from operating activities and the cash proceeds received on the deferred purchase price receivables are included in net cash from investing activities. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the factoring agreements the Company was party to either expired or were terminated.

Receivables factored under receivables factoring agreements balance as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Fair value measurements are classified under the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. Unobservable inputs are used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company uses an income approach to value derivatives instruments, analyzing quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounting such forward values to the present value using benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the instrument’s full term. The Company hadno other material financial assets and liabilities that were carried at fair value at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was a decrease in the fair value of an equity investment of$1,294 due to observable transactions (Level 2), which was recorded in other income (loss). As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there wereno other significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Items Not Carried at Fair Value

The Company uses an income valuation technique to measure the fair values of its debt instruments by converting amounts of future cash flows to a single present value amount using rates based on current market expectations (Level 2 inputs). As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of the indebtedness under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were not materially different than the estimated fair values because the interest rates on variable rate debt approximated rates currently available to the Company (see Note 6).

Note 12 – Equity

In June 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the “2024 Stock Repurchase Program”) to commence upon expiration of the Company’s prior stock repurchase program on June 30, 2024. Under the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150,000 of its issued and outstanding Common Stock over athree-year period, expiring June 30, 2027. Repurchases may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations.

Share repurchases and related activity during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

The Company expects that substantially all of the existing gains and losses related to cash flow derivatives reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2025 to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. See Note 10 for additional information about derivative financial instruments and the effects from reclassification to net income.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to unusual or infrequent items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in respective jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realizability of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the composition and timing of actual earnings compared to annual projections. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as our tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes, the effect of the change on prior interim periods is included in the income tax provision in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

A summary of the provision for income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, is shown below:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Income tax expense$5,935$3,445$10,204$16,531
Earnings before income tax$20,884$19,410$25,502$66,157
Effective tax rate28.4%17.7%40.0%25.0%

Income tax expense was$5,935 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 on earnings before income tax of$20,884, representing an effective tax rate of 28.4%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due tothe impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. Federal statutory rate and the unfavorable impact of global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) and Subpart F income.

Income tax expense was$3,445 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 on earnings before income tax of$19,410, 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, a 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 GILTI.

Income tax expense was$10,204 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 on earnings before income tax of$25,502, representing an effective tax rate of 40.0%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due tothe unfavorable impact of GILTI and Subpart F income, unfavorable tax effects of equity vesting and a valuation allowance established in the U.S. related to a capital loss carryforward.

Income tax expense was$16,531 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 on earnings before income tax of$66,157, representing an effective tax rate of 25.0%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due tothe impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. Federal statutory rate and the unfavorable impact of GILTI, partially offset by favorable tax effects of equity vesting, a partial valuation allowance release in the U.S. related to its capital loss carryforward and a one-time benefit related to the Alfmeier acquisition.

Tax Provisions

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements and has determined the OBBBA will not have a material impact on 2025 and does not anticipate a material impact in 2026, based on the guidance issued to date.

In addition, on July 19, 2025, the Act for an Immediate Tax Investment Programme to Strengthen Germany's Business Location (“German Tax Package”) was enacted in Germany. The German Tax Package includes significant provisions, including a gradual reduction in the corporate tax rate from 15% in 2027 to 10% by 2032, in 1% increments beginning in 2028, enhanced depreciation provisions and expanded relief for research and development expenses. The impact of the legislation was a non-cash income tax expense of $531, which was recorded as an adjustment to deferred tax expense in the third quarter of 2025.
