2024 Fourth Quarter Financial ReviewProduct
revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased by $14.0 million,
or 3.8%, as compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the
impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues decreased
3.3% year over year.
Automotive revenues decreased 4.3% year over year. Adjusting for
foreign currency translation, phasing out the non-automotive and
contract manufacturing electronics business as well as one-time
benefits from recoveries in the prior year, Automotive revenues
decreased 1.8% year over year. Revenues from Automotive Climate and
Comfort Solutions increased 1.7% in the fourth quarter compared to
the prior-year period.
According to S&P Global Mobility’s mid-February report,
actual light vehicle production increased by 0.4% in the fourth
quarter when compared with the same quarter of 2023 in the
Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan, and
South Korea.
Gentherm Medical revenue increased 8.4% year over year.
Adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation, Medical
revenues increased 8.9%.
Gross margin rate decreased to 24.4% in the current-year period,
as compared with 26.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease from
the prior-year period was driven by product mix, higher freight
costs, the impact of foreign exchange, and the costs related to our
new plants opening in Monterrey, Mexico and Tangier, Morocco.
Net research and development expenses of $21.1 million in the
quarter decreased slightly compared to the prior-year period
primarily as a result of lower third-party spend.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $38.6 million in
the quarter decreased $3.3 million versus the prior-year period.
The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower
compensation expenses, partially offset by leadership transition
expenses in 2024.
Restructuring expenses, net of $0.7 million in the current-year
period, decreased $0.6 million, versus the prior-year period
primarily as a result of higher costs associated with footprint
optimization in the prior-year.
The Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $41.4 million in the
quarter compared with $49.0 million in the prior-year period, a
decrease of $7.6 million or 15.6%.
Income tax expense in the quarter was $20.8 million, as compared
with income tax gain of $0.9 million in the prior-year period. The
year-over-year increase was primarily driven by one-time tax
settlements relating to prior period tax audits.
GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.49
compared with $0.56 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted
earnings per share for the quarter was $0.29 compared with $0.90
for the prior-year period.
2024 Full Year Financial Review
For full year 2024, the Company reported product revenues of
$1,456.1 million, a 0.9% decrease over the prior year. Excluding
the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues
decreased 0.4% year over year.
In the Automotive segment, 2024 full-year revenue was $1,406.3
million, a 1.2% decrease compared to the prior year. Revenue
increases in the Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions and Steering
Wheel Heater product categories were offset by decreases in the
Climate Control Seat and Seat Heater categories and automotive
revenue not related to Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions.
Adjusting for foreign currency translation Automotive revenue
decreased 0.7% year over year. Adjusting for foreign currency
translation, phasing out the non-automotive and contract
manufacturing electronics business as well as one-time benefits
from recoveries in the prior year, Automotive revenue increased
0.8% year over year.
According to S&P Global Mobility’s mid-February 2025 report,
actual light vehicle production decreased 1.0% for the full year
2024 compared to full year 2023 in the Company’s key markets of
North America, Europe, China, Japan and South Korea.
Medical segment revenue was $49.8 million for full year 2024, an
8.1% increase compared to the prior year. Adjusting for foreign
currency translation, Medical revenues increased 8.2%.
Gross margin rate was 25.2% in 2024, a 130 basis point increase
from 2023, primarily as a result of strong material performance,
productivity, and the impact of our previously announced exit of
the non-automotive electronics business, partially offset by annual
price reductions, wage inflation, and the costs related to our new
plants opening in Monterrey, Mexico and Tangier, Morocco.
Net research and development expenses of $88.7 million in 2024
decreased 6.0% primarily as a result of lower project spend and a
reduction in resources allocated to the battery performance
solutions product category.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $155.1 million
in 2024 decreased $0.5 million, or 0.3%, versus the prior year
period. The year over year decrease was primarily driven by
acquisition and integration expenses in the prior year and lower
compensation expenses, partially offset by leadership transition
costs and increased investment in information technology in
2024.
The Company incurred $13.1 million in restructuring expenses,
net in 2024, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period
primarily as a result of manufacturing footprint optimization and
reductions to the global salaried workforce. The Company recorded
impairment of goodwill charges of $19.5 million in 2023 related to
the Medical segment.
The Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $182.9 million in 2024
compared with $180.6 million in the prior year, an increase of $2.3
million or 1.3%.
Income tax expense in 2024 was $37.3 million, as compared with
$14.6 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 36.5%
for 2024. This rate differed from the Federal statutory rate of
21%, primarily due to unfavorable geographic mix of earnings as
well as the impact of one-time tax settlements relating to prior
period tax audits. Excluding the impact of prior period tax audits,
the effective tax rate was 26.9%. GAAP diluted earnings per share
for full year 2024 was $2.06 as compared with $1.22 for the prior
year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for full year 2024 was
$2.33 as compared with $2.59 for the prior year.
The Company provides various non-GAAP financial measures in this
release. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for additional

limitations, as well as reconciliations below to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.

for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties. In

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition
to the results reported in accordance with GAAP throughout this
release, the Company has provided here or elsewhere information
regarding: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA margin;
adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted earnings per share” or
“Adjusted EPS”); free cash flow; Net Debt, net leverage ratio (“net
leverage”), revenue, segment revenue and product revenue excluding
foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses;
Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenues; and adjusted
operating expenses, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company
defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost
amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expenses,
restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and
other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing
operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted
EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The
Company defines Adjusted EPS as earnings adjusted by restructuring
expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and
losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and
related tax effects. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash
provided by operating activities less Purchases of property and
equipment. The Company defines Net Debt as the principal amount of
all Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) less cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines net
leverage as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing
four fiscal quarters. The Company defines revenue, segment revenue
or product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other
specified gains and losses as such revenue, excluding the estimated
effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating
actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange
rates and excluding the other items specified in the reconciliation
tables herein. The Company defines Automotive Climate and Comfort
Solutions revenues as Automotive revenue excluding specified
product revenues and the impact of non-automotive electronics and
contract manufacturing electronics revenues. The Company defines
adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding related
non-cash stock based compensation, restructuring expenses, net, and
other losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing
operations.
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 19, 2025.
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 and therefore
enhance the comparability of the Company's results and provide
additional information for analyzing trends in the business. 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 income (loss), 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,
Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EPS. The Company has not
reconciled the non-GAAP forward-looking guidance included in this
release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this
cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability
and low visibility with respect to taxes and non-recurring items,
which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the
variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and
a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial
results.
