“I am extremely proud of the global Gentherm team for consistently outperforming light vehicle production and delivering record results despite the pandemic. We finished 2020 with a record breaking fourth quarter and generated the highest quarterly revenue and profitability in the 30-year history of the company,” said Phil Eyler, Gentherm’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“While we expect continued market uncertainties in 2021, the momentum on the topline, expanding demand for our new technologies, especially in the EV market, coupled with our strong win rate of new awards position us well to continue to deliver significant shareholder value over the long term.”

2020 Fourth Quarter Financial Review

Product revenues of $288.9 million increased $58.5 million, or 25.4%, in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 21.6% year over year.

Automotive revenue increased 27.0% year over year. Revenue increased in all product categories with the exception of Other Automotive. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, organic Automotive revenue increased 23.1% year over year. According to IHS Markit's mid-February report for the fourth quarter of 2020, actual light vehicle production increased by 2.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

Gentherm Medical revenue declined 9.1% year over year, primarily as a result of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elective surgeries.

See the “Revenues by Product Category” table included below for additional detail.

Gross margin rate increased to 32.1% in the current-year period. The 360-basis point improvement over the prior-year period resulted from labor productivity and other production cost reduction, favorable foreign currency translation, fixed cost leverage from higher unit volume, and supplier cost reductions. These were partially offset by annual customer price reductions, wage inflation and higher freight costs.

Net research and development expenses of $16.9 million in the 2020 fourth quarter increased $1.4 million, or 8.9% over the prior-year period, as a result of lower reimbursements due to project timing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $31.6 million in the 2020 fourth quarter increased $4.6 million, or 16.9%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the impact of mark-to-market adjustments in cash settled stock appreciation rights, partially offset by lower incentive compensation as well as lower spending due to cost reduction initiatives and pandemic-related austerity measures.

Restructuring expenses of $2.4 million in the current-year period were $1.2 million higher than the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to restructuring actions focused on optimizing our manufacturing and engineering footprint.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $57.0 million in the 2020 fourth quarter compared with $34.4 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $22.6 million or 65.6%.

Income tax expense in the 2020 fourth quarter was $6.7 million, as compared with a benefit of $8.9 million in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate of 16.4% for the quarter differs from the Federal statutory rate of 21%, due to the cumulative impact in 2020 from valuation adjustments to certain deferred tax assets.

The Company reduced prior-year period income tax expenses and increased net income by $11.4 million as a result of the revised valuation of certain deferred tax assets.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $1.02 compared with $0.66 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring expenses, non-cash purchasing accounting impact, acquisition and divestiture expenses and unrealized currency loss (see table herein), was $1.16. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $0.99.

2020 Full Year Revenue and Earnings Per Share Discussion

For full-year 2020, the Company reported product revenues of $913.1 million, a 6.0% decrease over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and 2019 divestitures, the year-over-year decrease was 5.3%.

In the Automotive segment, 2020 full-year revenue was $870.0 million, a 5.5% decrease compared to the prior year. Revenue increases in Steering Wheel Heaters, Battery Performance Solutions (BPS) and Electronics were more than offset by revenue decreases in all other product categories. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, organic Automotive revenue decreased 6.2% year over year. According to IHS Markit's mid-February report for full-year 2020, actual light vehicle production declined 14.4% compared to full-year 2019 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

With the completed divestitures, the Company has renamed the Industrial segment “Medical.” The Medical segment revenue was $43.1 million, a 16.2% decrease compared to the prior year. The year over year reduction was due to the divestitures of the CSZ industrial chambers and GPT businesses during 2019, partially offset by a 16.9% increase in Gentherm Medical revenue.

Gross margin rate was 29.4% in 2020, a 30-basis point decrease from 2019, primarily as a result of annual customer price reductions, lower Automotive revenue due to the pandemic and wage inflation. These were partially offset by higher labor productivity, supplier cost reductions, favorable foreign currency translation and other cost reduction initiatives.

Net research and development expenses of $68.0 million in 2020 decreased 6.1% as a direct result of cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by lower reimbursements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $105.0 million in 2020 decreased $13.6 million, or 11.5%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by cost reduction initiatives, the 2019 divestitures and lower incentive compensation, partially offset by mark-to-market adjustments in cash settled stock appreciation rights.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $139.9 million in 2020 compared with $142.5 million in the prior year, a decrease of $2.5 million or 1.8%.

The Company reduced prior-year period income tax expenses and increased net income by $11.4 million as a result of the revised valuation of certain deferred tax assets.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for full-year 2020 was $1.81, as compared with $1.47 for the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding non-cash purchase accounting impact, unrealized currency loss, restructuring expenses and other impacts (see table herein), was $2.29. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $2.68.

Guidance

The Company is providing the following guidance for full-year 2021:

• Product revenues between $1.05 billion and $1.13 billion, assuming current foreign exchange rates and light vehicle production in the Company’s key markets growing at a low-teens rate in 2021 versus 2020
• Adjusted EBITDA between 17% and 19% of product revenues
• Full-year effective tax rate between 22% and 24%
• Capital expenditures between $50 million and $60 million

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP throughout this release, the Company has provided information regarding adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted earnings per share” or “Adjusted EPS”), Free Cash Flow and Revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (and, for full year results, excluding 2019 divestitures), each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects including transaction expenses, debt retirement expenses, impairment of assets held for sale, gain or loss on sale of business, restructuring expense, unrealized currency gain or loss and unrealized revaluation of derivatives. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as earnings adjusted by gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects including transaction expenses, debt retirement expenses, impairment of assets held for sale, gain or loss on sale of business, restructuring expense, unrealized currency gain or loss and unrealized revaluation of derivatives. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities less Purchases of property and equipment. The Company defines Revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation as revenue, less the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company’s reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, and revenue to Revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, are provided in this release. The Company’s Reconciliation of Adjusted EPS can be found in the supplemental materials furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Form 8-K dated February 19, 2021 and also is included in the presentation entitled “Q4 2020 Gentherm Incorporated Earnings Conference Presentation,” which can be found on the Events page of the Investor section of Gentherm's website at www.gentherm.com.

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Free Cash Flow as a supplemental measure of its liquidity and the other non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its operating performance. Management provides such non-GAAP financial measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors in properly assessing the Company's performance on a period-over-period basis by excluding matters not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating or liquidity results. Other companies in our industry may define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do and those calculations may not be comparable to our metrics. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, revenue or other consolidated income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP measures referenced in this release and other public communications may include estimates of future Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS. Such forward-looking non-GAAP measures may differ significantly from the corresponding GAAP measures, due to depreciation and amortization, tax expense, and/or interest expense, some or all of which management has not quantified for the future periods.
