Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Overview | Note 1 – Overview Gentherm Incorporated, a Michigan corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Gentherm”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies. Our automotive products include variable temperature Climate Control Seats (CCS®), Climate Control Interiors (CCI™), Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions, Valve Systems, and electronic solutions for climate and comfort technologies. Our automotive products can be found on light vehicles manufactured by nearly all the major original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) operating in North America and Europe, and several major OEMs in Asia. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities. Our medical products include patient temperature management systems that can be found in hospitals throughout the world, primarily in the U.S., China, Germany and Brazil. The Company is also developing a number of new technologies and products that will help enable improvements to existing products, improve health, wellness and patient outcomes and will lead to new product applications for existing and new and adjacent markets. 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, 2024. 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. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update such estimates and assumptions or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. Our estimates may change, however, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total capitalized payments to customers were $14,501 and $14,276, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $836 and $73 as reductions of revenue due to amortization and write-off of previously capitalized payments. The Company has no other material contract assets or contract liabilities as of March 31, 2025. Gain (Loss) on Sale of Land and Building In connection with our move to a new global headquarters location, we completed the sale of our former headquarters building in Northville, Michigan in January 2025. The sale resulted in cash proceeds of $3,740 and a loss on sale of $2,311. In addition, we recognized a gain of $115 for the sale of land in Asia.
