"Fourth quarter 2022 results showed a strong rebound across all regions and product lines, compared with the same period a year ago. Fourth quarter net sales increased 4% on a reported basis and 15% at constant currency, as we continue to flex our variable cost structure to manage macro volatility, successfully offsetting both foreign exchange and inflationary pressures,” said Garrett President and CEO, Olivier Rabiller.

“For the full year of 2022, net sales were $3.6 billion down by 1% on a reported basis and up by 8% on a constant currency basis, with strong operational performance and solid full year cash generation. We expect to profitably grow share of demand and generate strong free cash flow in 2023 as we continue to focus on solid execution in a gradually improving macro environment.”

"I am also pleased to report that Garrett continues to gain momentum and leverage our increasing investment in electrification technology. In 2022, we were awarded three new contracts with major global OEMs and key innovators to produce our advanced fuel cell compressor products including commercial vehicle applications. In addition, our efforts have resulted in Garrett’s first differentiated high-speed E-Axle pre-development project award with a major global automaker. We remain focused on creating new and differentiated technology solutions addressing critical electrification challenges across all platforms."

Results of Operations

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $898 million, representing an increase of 4% (including an unfavorable impact of $89 million or 11% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $862 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net sales was driven by successful recoveries on inflation pass through and improved product mix primarily due to commercial vehicles and aftermarket.

Cost of goods sold for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $737 million compared with $707 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to volume, product mix and inflation on commodities, transportation and energy which contributed to an increase of $4 million, $42 million and $53 million, respectively. In addition there was a $4 million increase in Research and development ("R&D") costs which reflects our shift in investment in electrification technologies. This increase was partially offset by favorable foreign currency impacts which contributed to a decrease of $67 million and continued focus on productivity of $6 million.

Gross profit totaled $161 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $155 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, with a gross profit percentage for the fourth quarter of 2022 of 17.9% as compared to 18.0% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to $56 million of inflation recoveries from customer pass-through agreements net of pricing reductions and a favorable product mix which impacted gross profit by $6 million. Gross profit also increased by $22 million from higher productivity and $2 million due to higher volume. These increases were partially offset by $53 million on commodities, transportation and energy costs inflation, $4 million of higher R&D costs and $23 million of unfavorable foreign currency translational, transactional and hedging effects.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased to $52 million from $50 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. We saw a $5 million benefit from favorable foreign exchange rates compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was offset by $3 million of higher IT expenses in 2022, $1 million from increased travel expenses as Covid restrictions eased and $2 million of higher bad debt expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 5.8% flat to 2021.

Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $21 million as compared to $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily due to interest expense on our Series B Preferred Stock in 2021 but no longer in 2022 due to early redemption.

Non-operating income increased to $48 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in income is primarily related to $27 million of interest income recorded in 2022 from unrealized marked-to-market gains on our defined benefit pension plans.

Reorganization items - net was decreased to $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to professional services for the Company's Chapter 11 cases.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $112 million as compared to $128 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease of $16 million is primarily a result of $6 million of higher gross profit and $36 million of higher non-operating income as discussed in the above sections, partially offset by higher tax expense of $63 million. The net income margin decreased to 12.5% in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to 14.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $137 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $136 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to unfavorable impacts from working capital of $60 million and $16 million from net income as mentioned above, $49 million increase in non-cash adjustments, offset by $28 million of changes in other assets and liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $140 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $129 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to product mix, improved productivity and inflation pass-through net of pricing, partially offset by commodities, transportation and energy inflation, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 15.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to 15.0% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted free cash flow, which excludes reorganization items, repositioning charges (primarily severance costs related to internal restructuring projects) and stock compensation expense, was $132 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared $151 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in adjusted free cash flow was primarily due to lower contribution from working capital partially offset by lower cash interest and cash taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, Garrett had $721 million in available liquidity, including $246 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $475 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2022, Garrett had $634 million in available liquidity, including $159 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $475 million undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2022, total principal amount of debt outstanding totaled $1,186 million, up from $1,146 million as of September 30, 2022, due to the foreign exchange rate impact on the EUR 450 million tranche.

Emergence from Chapter 11

As previously announced, on April 30, 2021, Garrett emerged from its pending Chapter 11 cases, successfully completing the restructuring process and implementing the Plan of Reorganization that was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

(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 net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA, plus the sum of net reorganization items, stock compensation expense, repositioning costs, net foreign exchange (gain)/loss on debt, loss on extinguishment on debt, discounting costs on factoring and other non-operating income. 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 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)	Other expense, net includes factoring and notes receivable discount fees.
(3)	The Company applied ASC 852 for periods subsequent to September 20, 2020, the date the Company and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, to distinguish transactions and events that were directly associated with the Company’s reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses and gains incurred during the Chapter 11 cases are recorded within Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(4)	Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.
(5)	Repositioning costs includes severance costs related to restructuring projects to improve future productivity.
(6)	Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension costs and other income that are non-recurring or not considered directly related to the Company's operations.
(7)	Professional service costs consist of professional service fees related to strategic planning for the Company. Costs incurred in 2021 relate to strategic planning activities for the Company which occurred following the Effective Date. We consider these costs to be unrelated to our ongoing core business operations.
(8)	Relates to capital tax payable in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, for which the cantonal corporate income tax may be credited against.
(9)	Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

We previously referred to “constant currency sales growth” as “organic sales growth.” We define constant currency sales growth as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation. This is the same definition we previously used for “organic sales growth”. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures and additionally adjusted for other discretionary items including Chapter 11 related items and cash flow impacts for factoring and guaranteed bank notes activity.
