Insights

Garrett Motion's 2024 performance demonstrates remarkable operational resilience and strategic execution. The expansion of Adjusted EBITDA margin to 17.2% amid an 11% revenue decline showcases exceptional cost management and operational efficiency. This margin improvement, coupled with $358 million in adjusted free cash flow, reflects robust underlying business fundamentals.

The company's capital allocation strategy has evolved significantly, introducing a balanced approach with a $50 million annual dividend and $250 million share repurchase program for 2025. This signals management's confidence in sustainable cash generation while maintaining strategic flexibility. The recent debt refinancing, extending maturities to 2030-2032, provides enhanced financial stability and reduced interest burden.

Strategic positioning in zero-emission technologies is gaining traction, evidenced by the SinoTruk partnership and Stellantis Innovation Award. The commitment to invest 4.6% of sales in R&D, with over half directed to zero-emission technologies, demonstrates a calculated approach to future growth. The validation of proprietary technologies by OEM customers, particularly in e-powertrain and fuel cell compressors, positions Garrett favorably in the evolving automotive landscape.

Working capital management deserves particular attention, with the company maintaining strong cash conversion despite industry headwinds. The outlook for 2025, forecasting flat to modest decline in light vehicle production, suggests a pragmatic approach to market conditions while maintaining investment in strategic initiatives.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $844 million, representing a decrease of 11% (including an unfavorable impact of $9 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $945 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. This decrease was driven by lower diesel production volumes primarily in Europe and soft gasoline demand in China and North America. These declines were partially offset by a recovery in commercial vehicles from sustained demand in China and North America.

Cost of goods sold for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $662 million compared with $756 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by lower sales volumes, higher productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs and commodity, transportation and energy deflation. These decreases were partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher Research and Development ("R&D") costs, reflecting Garrett's continued investment in new technology development.

Gross profit totaled $182 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $189 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, with a gross profit percentage for the fourth quarter of 2024 of 21.6% as compared to 20.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023. This decrease in gross profit was driven by lower volumes, unfavorable impact from foreign currency and higher R&D costs as described above. These declines were partially offset by commodity, transportation and energy deflation, a favorable product mix and productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased to $62 million from $69 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease compared with the prior year was driven by lower professional services and legal fees, lower IT related costs and lower repositioning costs. These decreases were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense.

Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $26 million as compared to $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by $10 million of lower interest expense due to a different notional amount of debt outstanding during the period. We also recognized $19 million less of marked-to-market remeasurement losses during the quarter on our undesignated interest rate swap contracts, in comparison to the prior year.

Non-operating income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $6 million as compared to $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, mainly driven by an increase in the non-service components of net periodic pension benefits, partially offset by lower equity income due to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

Tax (benefit) expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 was a benefit of $1 million as compared to an expense of $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, mainly driven by release of reserves due to statute of limitation expirations and release of valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in Brazil (net of US branch taxes), partially offset by the Company's change in assertion of undistributed foreign earnings in China.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $100 million as compared to $52 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to $29 million of lower interest expense, $17 million of lower tax expenses and $7 million of lower SG&A partially offset by $7 million of lower gross profit, as discussed above.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $131 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $135 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to $27 million unfavorable changes in working capital and $2 million in lower net income excluding the effects of non-cash items, partially offset by $25 million of favorable impacts from changes in other assets and liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $153 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $145 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly due to variable and fixed cost productivity, commodity, transportation and energy deflation and favorable product mix. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes and unfavorable foreign exchange impact.

Adjusted free cash flow, which excludes capital structure transformation expenses and cash paid for repositioning and factoring costs, was $157 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $137 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $6 million of working capital contribution (net of factoring), $8 million of higher adjusted EBITDA, $15 million of favorable impacts from changes in other assets and liabilities and $4 million of lower capital expenditures. This improvement was partially offset by $14 million of higher cash paid for interest due to the 2023 Dollar Term Facility and higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2024, Garrett had $725 million in available liquidity, including $125 million in cash and cash equivalents and $600 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2023, Garrett had $829 million in available liquidity, including $259 million in cash and cash equivalents and $570 million undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2024, total principal amount of debt outstanding amounted to $1,493 million, down from $1,696 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to early debt repayments of $985 million partially offset by proceeds of $794 million from our senior unsecured notes, net of deferred financing costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we repurchased $70 million of common stock under our authorized share repurchase program. For the full year 2024, total repurchases of common stock equaled $296 million at an average price of $8.83 per share. Our share repurchase program expired as of December 31, 2024.

On December 4, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a new $250 million share repurchase program valid January 1, 2025 until December 31, 2025. The Company may repurchase shares from time to time under the program through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, and otherwise. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will depend on a variety of factors. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

On January 30, 2025, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our Credit Agreement, under which we refinanced in full our 2021 Dollar Term Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $692 million (the "2025 Dollar Term Facility"). The 2025 Dollar Term Facility will mature on January 30, 2032. We also refinanced and upsized our revolving credit facility to $630 million. The new revolving credit facility will mature in 2030.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication and related comments by management may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements represent our current judgment about possible future activities, events, or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future. In making these statement, we rely upon 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. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future performance, events, or results, and actual performance, events, or results may differ materially from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, many of which are described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including risks related to the automotive industry, the competitive landscape and our ability to compete, and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, among others. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statement, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication includes the following non-GAAP financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”): constant currency sales growth, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted free cash flow. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and analysis of ongoing operating trends and are important indicators of operating performance because they exclude the effects of certain non-operating items, therefore making them more closely reflect our operational performance. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related GAAP measure, are set forth in the Appendix to this presentation. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related GAAP measures. For additional information with respect to our non-GAAP financial measures, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1)	We evaluate performance on the basis of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define “EBITDA” as our net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of interest expense net of interest income, tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA, plus the sum of stock compensation expense, repositioning costs, foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gains (loss), discounting costs on factoring, gain on sale of equity investment, other non-operating income, and capital structure transformation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA now also adjusts for acquisition and divestiture expenses, and debt refinancing and redemption costs, but no adjustments were made to prior period as there were no similar adjustments in the prior period. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest-related charges and depreciation expenses and therefore more closely measure our operational performance; and certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of our results. In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.
(2)	Reflects interest income of $0 million and $1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3 million and $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(3)	Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.
