    ROLLE, Switzerland and PLYMOUTH, Mich., July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Garrett Motion Inc. (Nasdaq: GTX) (the "Company"), a leading differentiated automotive technology provider, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

    “Despite a volatile volume environment in the second quarter, Garrett delivered a very solid performance. We expanded our adjusted EBITDA margin by 40 basis points quarter over quarter to 16.9% and delivered $62 million of adjusted free cash flow,” said Olivier Rabiller, President and CEO of Garrett. "We continued to deliver strong margin performance by leveraging our variable cost structure and driving sustained operating productivity. These results enabled us to once again make very significant progress on our capital allocation priorities. In Q2, we repurchased $65 million of common stock, totaling $174 million for the first half of 2024. We also issued $800 million of senior unsecured notes at favorable interest rates which we used to partially repay our Term Loan B in the quarter."

    “Coupled with our financial performance, we've kept on strengthening our core turbo business and advancing our zero-emission vehicle technologies this quarter. We secured a number of new series production awards in our turbo business including an additional new large industrial turbo, aimed at the fast-growing power generation industry. We also achieved significant progress on the zero-emission technologies, scoring new wins for our broad and industry leading Fuel Cell Compressor Portfolio, and winning for the first time a number of E-Powertrain predevelopment programs with commercial vehicle players for our high-speed proprietary E-Powertrain concept now adapted to demanding commercial vehicle use. This once again confirms the increasing traction we receive from customers for our differentiated high speed electrification solutions.”

    Results of Operations

    Net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $890 million, representing a decrease of 12% (including an unfavorable impact of $18 million or 2% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $1,011 million in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was mainly driven by demand softness in gasoline, diesel and commercial vehicles applications, partially offset by increased demand for replacement parts on aftermarket sales. Net sales further declined due to commodity deflation impact on pricing net of inflation pass-through.

    Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to $705 million from $809 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by $78 million of lower sales volumes, $27 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation and $18 million of productivity net of labor inflation. These decreases were partially offset by $26 million of unfavorable product mix and $2 million of higher research and development ("R&D") costs, reflecting Garrett's continued investment in new turbo and zero emission technologies.

    Gross profit totaled $185 million for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $202 million in the second quarter of 2023, with a gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2024 of 20.8% as compared to 20.0% in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by $34 million from lower sales, $22 million from commodity deflation impact on pricing net of inflation pass-through, $2 million from higher R&D costs and $9 million due to foreign currency impact. These decreases were partially offset by $27 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation, $21 million of productivity, net of labor inflation and $2 million of favorable product mix.

    Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to $61 million from $63 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by $4 million of lower professional service fees, partially offset by $2 million of higher bad debt expense. SG&A expenses also decreased due to $1 million of favorable foreign exchange impact.

    Interest expense in the second quarter of 2024 was $62 million as compared to $29 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $27 million of accelerated debt issuance cost amortization and $3 million of higher interest expense due to a different notional amount of debt outstanding during the period and higher variable interest rates, partially offset by the spread reduction on the 2021 Dollar Term Facility. We also recognized $25 million of marked-to-market remeasurement losses recorded during the quarter on our undesignated interest rate swap contracts, partially offset by $22 million of gains, including settlements of $18 million, on our interest derivatives.

    Non-operating income (expense) for the second quarter of 2024 was $1 million of income as compared to $8 million of expense in the second quarter of 2023, with the increase primarily driven by foreign exchange transactional gains partially offset by $2 million of lower equity income due to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

    Tax expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $23 million as compared to $30 million in the second quarter of 2023, mainly driven by lower U.S. taxes on international operations and lower non-deductible transaction costs, partially offset by tax related to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

    Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $64 million as compared to $71 million in the second quarter of 2023. The $7 million decrease was primarily due to $17 million of lower gross profit and $33 million of higher interest expense. These decreases were partially offset by $27 million of gain from the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, $9 million of higher non-operating income and $7 million of lower tax expense.

    Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $126 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $164 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $38 million. This decrease was primarily due to $30 million higher usage of working capital and $17 million from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $9 million in net income excluding non-cash charges.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $150 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $170 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to demand softness across gasoline, diesel and commercial vehicles, commodity deflation impact on pricing net of inflation pass-through as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impact. These decreases were partially offset by strong operational performance through productivity, net of labor inflation, commodity, transportation and energy inflation and favorable product mix.

    Adjusted free cash flow was $62 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $140 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by $84 million of higher working capital usage (net of factoring), $20 million of lower Adjusted EBITDA and $9 million of higher cash paid for taxes. These decreases were partially offset by $28 million of other assets and liabilities and $8 million of lower capital expenditures.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of June 30, 2024, Garrett had $698 million in available liquidity, including $98 million in cash and cash equivalents and $600 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, Garrett had $766 million in available liquidity, including $196 million in cash and cash equivalents and $570 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.

    As of June 30, 2024, total principal amount of debt outstanding amounted to $1,497 million, down from $1,683 million as of March 31, 2024, due to early debt repayments of $985 million partially offset by proceeds of $794 million from our new Senior Unsecured Notes, net of deferred financing costs.

    During the second quarter of 2024, we repurchased $65 million of our common stock under our authorized share repurchase program and we had remaining repurchase capacity of $176 million as of June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, our repurchases of common stock were $109 million.

    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. 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. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on 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 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 regarding 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.​

    Adjusted EBITDA margin (8)  16.9%  16.8%  16.7%  17.1%

    (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 and depreciation. 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, acquisition and divestiture expenses, other non-operating income, capital structure transformation expenses, debt refinancing and redemption costs, net reorganization items and loss on extinguishment of debt (if any). Adjusted EBITDA now also adjusts for acquisition and divestiture expenses, and debt refinancing and redemption costs, but no adjustments were made to the 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 $1 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3 million and $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    (3) Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.

    (4) Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension income.
