2022 Fourth Quarter Financial Review

Product revenues of $343.3 million increased $95.1 million, or 38.3%, in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions, product revenues increased 20.9% year over year.

Automotive revenue increased 40.0% year over year driven by contribution from the acquisition of Alfmeier as well as growth in Steering Wheel Heaters, Climate Controlled Seat, Seat Heaters, and Electronics. Adjusting for foreign currency translation and the impact of the Alfmeier acquisition, organic Automotive revenue increased 22.5% year over year. According to S&P Global’s mid-February 2023 report, actual light vehicle production in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 2.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

Gentherm Medical revenue increased 1.6% year over year, primarily as a result of contributions from Dacheng Medical. Adjusting for the contribution from Dacheng and foreign currency translation, Medical revenues decreased 14.9%, due primarily to the reduction in capital spending in U.S. hospitals.

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

Gross margin rate was 20.3% in the current-year period versus 27.1% in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of an impairment charge related to the exit of the non-automotive electronics business, the acquired Alfmeier business having a lower gross margin rate relative to the Company’s organic business, wage and material inflation, as well as the negative impact from foreign currency translation. These were partially offset by cost recoveries from customers and fixed cost leverage from higher unit volume.

Net research and development expenses of $23.3 million in the 2022 fourth quarter increased $4.5 million, or 24.0% over the prior-year period, primarily as a result of the additional expenses from the Alfmeier business and increased investments in ClimateSense® and battery performance solutions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $36.6 million in the 2022 fourth quarter increased $10.1 million, or 38.3%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by $4.3 million of expenses associated with the Alfmeier and Dacheng acquisitions and additional expenses from the acquired businesses, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

Acquisition expenses of $4.3 million in the current-year period were $4.1 million higher than the prior-year period as a result of expenses associated with the Alfmeier and Dacheng acquisitions. Restructuring expenses of $0.08 million in the current-year period were $0.15 million lower than the prior-year period. The Company recorded impairment charges of $15.7 million for write downs of inventory, intangible assets and property and equipment related to the exit of the non-Automotive electronic business in the current-year period.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to Adjusted EBITDA” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $38.2 million in the 2022 fourth quarter compared with $30.9 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $7.2 million or 23.4%.

Income tax benefit in the 2022 fourth quarter was $0.1 million, as compared with an expense of $2.5 million in the prior-year period.

GAAP diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $(0.13) compared with $0.60 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding impairment of intangible assets and property and equipment, non-cash purchasing accounting impact, acquisition and divestiture expenses and unrealized currency loss (see table herein), was $0.47. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $0.61.

2022 Full Year Financial Review

For full-year 2022, the Company reported product revenues of $1,204.7 million, a 15.2% increase over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions, product revenues increased 10.6% year over year.

In the Automotive segment, 2022 full-year revenue was $1,161.6 million, a 15.6% increase compared to the prior year. Revenue increased in all product categories except Electronics and Automotive Cables. Adjusting for foreign currency translation and the impact of the Alfmeier acquisition, organic Automotive revenue increased 11.1% year over year. According to IHS Markit's mid-February 2023 report for full-year 2022, actual light vehicle production increased 4.7% compared to full-year 2021 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

The Medical segment revenue was $43.0 million for full-year 2022, a 3.7% increase compared to the prior year. Adjusting for the contribution from Dacheng and foreign currency translation, Medical revenues decreased 1.9%, due primarily to the reduction in capital spending in U.S. hospitals.

Gross margin rate was 22.7% in 2022, a 630-basis point decrease from 2021, primarily as a result of wage and material inflation, the negative impact from industry-wide supply chain disruptions, the negative impact from foreign currency translation, the acquired Alfmeier business having a lower gross margin rate relative to the Company’s organic business, as well as an impairment charge related to the exit of the non-automotive electronics business. These were partially offset by fixed cost leverage from higher unit volume and cost recoveries from customers.

Net research and development expenses of $85.7 million in 2022 increased 14.0% primarily as a result of the additional expenses from the Alfmeier business and increased investments in ClimateSense® and battery performance solutions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $132.7 million in 2022 increased $23.1 million, or 21.1%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by $18.8 million of expenses associated with the Alfmeier and Dacheng acquisitions and additional expenses from the acquired businesses, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

Acquisition expenses of $22.6 million in 2022 were $21.4 million higher than the prior year as a result of expenses associated with the Alfmeier and Dacheng acquisitions as previously noted in SG&A expenses and $3.8 million realized foreign currency loss. The Company incurred $0.6 million restructuring expenses in 2022, compared to $3.9 million in the prior-year period. The Company recorded impairment charges of $15.7 million for write downs of inventory, intangible assets and property and equipment related to the exit of the non-Automotive electronic business in 2022.

As described more fully in the “Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to Adjusted EBITDA” table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $129.8 million in 2022 compared with $157.0 million in the prior year, a decrease of $27.2 million or 17.3%.

Income tax expense in 2022 was $13.9 million, as compared with $20.4 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 36.2% for 2022. This rate differed from the Federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to non-deductible expenses associated with the acquisitions as well as unfavorable geographic mix of earnings.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for full-year 2022 was $0.73, as compared with $2.79 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 $1.82. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior year was $3.01.

For comparison to the 2023 guidance, the Company is providing the proforma* 2022 Product Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA margin to include the results of Alfmeier from January 1st, 2022. In addition, starting with our 2023 reporting, the Company will exclude the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation from the Adjusted EBITDA results. The table below illustrates how both the 2022 results and 2022 proforma* would have been had the Company made this adjustment in 2022.

|  | 2022 |  |  | 2022 Pro forma* |
Product Revenue |  | $1.204B |  |  | $1.348B |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation |  |  | 11.4 | % |  |  | 10.4 | %
Adjusted EBITDA Margin as reported |  |  | 10.8 | % |  |  | 9.8 | %

The Company’s reconciliations are included in this release or can be found in the supplemental materials furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Form 8-K dated February 22, 2023.

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Free Cash Flow and Net Debt as supplemental measures 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. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur revenues, expenses, and cash and non-cash obligations that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There also can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material. 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 (loss) income, revenue or other consolidated (loss) 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 excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding non-cash stock- based compensation and Adjusted EPS. Such forward-looking non-GAAP measures may differ significantly from the corresponding GAAP measures, due to tax expense, interest expense, and/or estimates of certain other matters that may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results some or all of which management has not quantified for the future periods.
