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, 2025. 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 term of 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total capitalized payments to customers were $21,537 and $18,168, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized $704 and $1,679 as reductions of revenue due to amortization and write-off of previously capitalized payments. 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.

The Company had no other material contract assets or contract liabilities as of September 30, 2026.

Loss on Sale of Land and Building, net

In January 2025, we completed the sale of our former headquarters building in Northville, Michigan for cash proceeds of $3,740. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on sale of $2,311 during thenine months ended September 30, 2025.

Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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.

Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, “Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)”. ASU 2026-02 provides recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. 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 2026-02 will have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

On October 1, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its previously announced combination of Performance Technologies with the Company (the “Modine Transaction”). The Modine Transaction was structured as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, where a wholly owned subsidiary of Modine (“SpinCo”), owning Performance Technologies, was spun off to Modine shareholders (the “Distribution”) and immediately thereafter merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with SpinCo as the surviving entity becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company issued 23,735,961 shares ofthe Company’s common stock, no par value (“Common Stock” or “Gentherm Common Stock”) to the Modine shareholders of record as of close of business on September 28, 2026 (the “Record Date”, and such holders of Modine common stock as of the Record Date, the “Record Date Modine Shareholders”). Upon completion of the Modine Transaction, the Record Date Modine Shareholders owned approximately 43.62% of the outstanding shares of Gentherm Common Stock (without taking into account any overlapping shareholder ownership), and continuing Gentherm shareholders owned approximately 56.38% of the outstanding shares of Gentherm Common Stock (without taking into account any overlapping shareholder ownership). The preliminary estimate of purchase consideration is approximately $800,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.

Prior to the Distribution and the Merger, SpinCo made a cash distribution to Modine of $155,991 (the “SpinCo Cash Distribution”). In connection with the Modine Transaction, the Company also declared a special cash dividend (the “Cash Dividend”) in an aggregate amount equal to $63,500, or $2.07 per share of Gentherm Common Stock. The Cash Dividend was paid in cash on October 7, 2026, to Gentherm shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 28, 2026.

On June 29, 2026, SpinCo entered into a credit agreement, providing for a senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility with aggregate commitments of up to $250,000 (the "DDTL Facility"). On the Closing Date, SpinCo borrowed $250,000 of term loans under the DDTL Facility (the “Term Loans”), the proceeds of which were used by SpinCo on the Closing Date to pay the SpinCo Cash Distribution and other amounts required at closing, such as the estimated net working capital adjustment. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. Upon completion of the Modine Transaction, this represents indebtedness of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The obligations under the DDTL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Gentherm and certain of Gentherm’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of SpinCo, Gentherm and the other guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. The Term Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments of 0.625% for the first eight quarters and 1.250% for each quarter thereafter until maturity. The remaining balance becomes due on June 29, 2031.

Due to the proximity of the Closing Date with the date of filing of this report, the initial accounting for the Modine Transaction is not yet completed. As a result, it is not practicable to disclose the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, or to provide other related disclosures. The accounting impact of the Modine Transaction will be included in the consolidated financial statements beginning in the Company's fourth quarter of 2026.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company incurred $6,344 and $33,396, respectively, of costs related to the Modine Transaction. Such fees are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Innovative Medical Equipment, LLC

On July 1, 2026, the Company acquired all of the membership interests in Innovative Medical Equipment, LLC (“IME”), a provider of the ThermaZone® thermal therapy device. ThermaZone is a non-opioid thermal therapy solution designed to support pain management and recovery through controlled hot-and-cold therapy. The total consideration was $34,652, which is comprised of cash payments, net of cash acquired, and contingent consideration with a fair value of $500.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination within our Medical segment, with the purchase price allocated on a preliminary basis using information available as of September 30, 2026, which primarily resulted in the recognition of other intangible assets of $15,900 and goodwill of $15,610. The estimated fair value of the other intangible assets was based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates, generally utilizing income and market approaches. Goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to the Company’s expected future economic benefits from the enhanced access to high-growth markets including private label opportunities through IME’s ThermaZone technology. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact the Company’s reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements are presented herein.

Credit Agreement

On June 29, 2026, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (amending and restating in its entirety the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2022, as amended) described below (the “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 29, 2031.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $550,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a $50,000 sublimit for swing line loans and a $30,000 sublimit for the issuance of 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 Credit Agreement. Gentherm can increase the Revolving Credit Facility or establish incremental facilities subject to specified conditions.

Under the 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 or guarantors, including the stock and membership interests of specified subsidiaries. The 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, 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 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, U.S. Dollar denominated loans bear interest at either a base rate (“Base Rate Loans”) or Term Secured Overnight Financing 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 use the term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average, Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or Sterling Overnight Index Average (depending on the currency of the borrowing), plus the Applicable Rate. Additionally, a commitment fee of between 0.150% to 0.250% is payable on the 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 Credit Agreement, the lowest and highest possible Applicable Rate is 1.125% and 2.000%, respectively, for Term SOFR Rate Loans and 0.125% and 1.000%, respectively, for Base Rate Loans.

Based upon consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters calculated for purposes of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio,$242,141 remained available for additional borrowings as of September 30, 2026.

The Company had $4,218 and $3,574 of outstanding letters of credit and other guarantees issued as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

In connection with the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $2,761, which have been capitalized and will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, unamortized deferred debt issuance costs of $75 were written-off and recognized in Interest expense, net during thenine months ended September 30, 2026.

The scheduled maturities of our debt as of September 30, 2026 were as follows:

Note 8 – 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, 2026 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. Such policies may not cover all costs associated with a claim. 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.

On February 14, 2024, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 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. VW informed Gentherm of its plan to conduct the recall on April 3, 2024. The suction jet pump is a product originally designed and manufactured by Alfmeier, the business Gentherm acquired in August 2022. The Company has not accepted any financial responsibility for the recall and is pursuing discussions with VW to advance its position and resolve this matter. No litigation has been threatened or filed as of the date of this report. 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's insurance policies are not expected to apply to this recall as the production period for the affected parts is outside of the insurance coverage period. The Company’s purchase agreement of Alfmeier includes indemnification provisions under which the Company believes it would have a claim against the sellers that would cover a portion of the potential costs. Given the uncertainty that exists concerning the resolution of this matter, as of thedate 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.

Note 9 – (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of the Common Stock, outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted (loss) 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. In computing the diluted (loss) 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 (loss) earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Basic (loss) earnings per share$(0.08)$0.49$0.20$0.50
Diluted (loss) earnings per share$(0.08)$0.49$0.19$0.50

Securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share were approximately 556,475 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. There wereno anti-dilutive securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

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.

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 duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

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 derivative 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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, 2026, and December 31, 2025, 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, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the carrying values of the indebtedness under the 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 7, “Debt”).

Note 12 – Equity

In June 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) 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 was authorized to repurchase up to $150,000 of its issued and outstanding Common Stock over athree-year period, expiring June 30, 2027.

In July 2026, the Board terminated the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program and authorized a new stock repurchase program (the “2026 Stock Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $400,000 of its issued and outstanding Common Stock over athree-year period, expiring July 27, 2029. At the time of termination, the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program had $110,103 of share repurchase authorization remaining.

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 contractual restrictions and other considerations, including certain conditions intended to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Modine Transaction.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company didnot repurchase any shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased $0 and $10,015, respectively, under the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program with an average price paid per share of $26.24. Stock repurchases are subject to excise tax, subject to specified exclusions and adjustments. Excise tax of $0 and $100, respectively, was charged to Common stock for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On September 29, 2026, in connection with the Modine Transaction and as approved by Gentherm’s shareholders at a special meeting held on September 10, 2026, the Company amended its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Gentherm Common Stock from 55,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock. On October 1, 2026, as part ofthe Modine Transaction, the Company issued 23,735,961 shares of Common Stock to the Record Date Modine Shareholders.

The Company expects that substantially all of the existing gains and losses related to cash flow derivatives reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2026 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 (loss) 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, 2026 and 2025, is shown below:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2026202520262025
Income tax expense$13,430$5,935$19,730$10,204

Effective tax rate123.9%28.4%76.5%40.0%
Total cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds$13,371$9,328$36,412$22,171

Income tax expense was$13,430 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 on earnings before income tax of$10,840, representing an effective tax rate of 123.9%. 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 transactions costs incurred in connection with the Modine Transaction.

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 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 global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) and Subpart F income.

Income tax expense was$19,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 on earnings before income tax of$25,778, representing an effective tax rate of 76.5%. 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 transactions costs incurred in connection with the Modine Transaction.

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% primarilydue to the 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.
