“Solid demand across Garrett’s portfolio of products coupled with strong operational agility has continued to generate robust cash flow and will enable us to reach a significant deleveraging milestone, even in a volatile environment,” said Olivier Rabiller, Garrett President and Chief Executive Officer. “Even as we’ve materially reduced leverage, Garrett continues to invest heavily in R&D and other growth initiatives as we pursue our strategic initiatives in the evolving powertrain industry.”
