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, 2021.2022. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period 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 outside 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.

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 (“VIE”) and to assess whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such entities. Investments in entities 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 entities are measured at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

8


Variable Interest Entities

The Company maintains an ownership interest in a VIE, Carrar Ltd. (“Carrar”). Carrar is a technology developer of advanced thermal management systems for the electric mobility market. The Company determined that Carrar is a VIE; however, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the investment. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary. Gentherm’s investment in Carrar is measured at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Carrar investment was $5,200 as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, and is recorded in Other non-current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

8


Revenue Recognition

The Company has no material contract assets or contract liabilities as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefits of those costs are expected to be realized for a period greater than one year. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were $2,0853,029 and $1,9462,239 as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Other non-current assets and are being amortized into Product revenues over the expected production life of the applicable program.

Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. ASU 2020-04 provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. These amendments are not applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied retrospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In addition to annual impairment testing, which is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining fair value and therefore require interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Credit Agreement

On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Agent”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated June 27, 2019, by and among Gentherm, certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and the Agent.

13


The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $500,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) (a $25,000 increase from the revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), with a $50,000 sublimit for swing line loans and a $15,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Any amount of the facility utilized for swing line loans or letters of credit outstanding will reduce the amount available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company had no outstanding letters of credit issued as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

Subject to specified conditions, Gentherm can increase the Revolving Credit Facility or incur secured term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $200,000. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extends the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility from June 27, 2024 tomatures on June 10, 2027. The outstanding principal and interest (of approximately $35,000 as of June 10, 2022) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement continued and remained obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement..

The U.S. borrowers and guarantors participating in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also entered into a Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement grants a security interest to the Agent in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries designated as borrowers to secure their respective obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement, including the stock and membership interests of specified subsidiaries (limited to 66% of the stock in the case of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries). In addition to the security obligations, all obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all obligations of any U.S. or non-U.S. loan party) are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of Gentherm’s domestic subsidiaries, and the German subsidiary borrowers and certain other foreign subsidiaries guarantee all obligations of the non-U.S. loan parties under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement restricts, among other things, the amount of dividend payments the Company can make to shareholders.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants, that, among other things, (i) prohibit or limit the ability of the borrowers and any material subsidiary to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends, make certain types of investments (including acquisitions), enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets or enter into certain other transactions outside the ordinary course of business, and (ii) require that Gentherm maintain a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (based on consolidated EBITDA for the applicable trailing four fiscal quarters) as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement additionally contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated and may become immediately due and payable.

15


Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, U.S. Dollar denominated loans bear interest at either a base rate (“Base Rate Loans”) or Term SOFR rate (“Term SOFR Rate Loans”), plus a margin (“Applicable Rate”). The rate for Base Rate Loans is equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America’s prime rate, or the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%. The rate for Term SOFR Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars is equal to the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rate administered by the CME with a term of one month. All loans denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar must be Term SOFR Rate Loans. Interest is payable at least quarterly. Additionally, a commitment fee of between 0.175% to 0.300%, which will vary based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, is payable on the average daily unused amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Applicable Rate varies based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio reported by the Company. As long as the Company is not in default of the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lowest and highest possible Applicable Rate is 1.125% and 2.125%, respectively, for Term SOFR Rate Loans and 0.125% and 1.125%, respectively, for Base Rate Loans.

Borrowing availability is subject to, among other things, the Company’s compliance with the minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Based upon consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters calculated for purposes of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, $264,460266,444 remained available as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 for additional borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement subject to specified conditions that Gentherm currently satisfies.

In connection with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1,417, which have been capitalized and will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the credit facility. In addition, unamortized deferred debt issuance costs of $144

 were written-off and recognized in Interest expense, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Note 87 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and other contingencies

The Company may be subject to various legal actions and claims in the ordinary course of its business, including those arising out of breach of contracts, intellectual property rights, environmental matters, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters thatwhich it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated condensed results of operations or financial position. Product liability and warranty reserves are recorded separately from legal reserves.

Product Liability and Warranty Matters

In the event that the Company’s products fail to perform as expected or result in alleged bodily injury or property damage, our products may subject us to warranty claims and product liability. If any of our products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage at levels based on commercial norms and historical claims experience. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims or liabilities in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims.

16


The Company accrues warranty obligations for products sold based on management estimates of future failure rates and current claim cost experience, with support from the sales, engineering, quality and legal functions. Using historical information available to the Company, including any claims already filed by customers, the warranty accrual is adjusted quarterly to reflect management’s best estimate of future claims.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs:

Other matters

Purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services and capital expenditures, as part of the normal course of business, are generally consistent from year to year. In addition, due to supply shortages of semiconductors, the Company has entered into agreements with various suppliers to reserve the right to purchase certain semiconductor chips over rolling periods of 12-24 months, with volume commitments determined based on our anticipated production requirements. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company’s total commitments for these semiconductor chip agreements was $37,31140,593. Such agreements provide the Company with priority access to semiconductor chips as they become available, however, these agreements do not guarantee that our suppliers will meet the timing and quantities requested by Gentherm. All other purchase commitments as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were immaterial.

Note 98 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share give effect to all potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during a period that do not have an anti-dilutive impact to the calculation. In computing the diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be issued from the exercise of Common Stock equivalents.

The following table illustrates earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 109 – Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities such as copper. Market risks for changes in interest rates relate primarily to its debt obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers not denominated in a location’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness, acquisitions denominated in foreign currencies, intercompany investments and include exposures to the Euro, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, North Macedonian Denar, Ukrainian Hryvnia, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, Korean Won, Czech Koruna and Vietnamese Dong.

The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative financial instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Some derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting; for other derivative contracts, we elect to not apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s designated hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. For derivative contracts which can be classified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. When the underlying hedge transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings in the consolidated condensed statements of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The Company records the ineffective portion of designated foreign currency and copper commodity hedging instruments, if any, to cost of sales in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

16


The Company uses an income approach to value derivative instruments, analyzing quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounting such forward values to the present value using benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the instrument’s full term.

In the second quarter of 2022, theThe Company entered intois party to a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100,000 and a maturity date of July 2025. This interest rate swap is an undesignated hedge of the Company’s exposure to interest payment fluctuations on a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings that were drawn for the acquisitions of Alfmeier and Dacheng. The periodic changes in fair value is recognized in Interest expense, net.

In the second and third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into forward contracts with a notional amount of $128,319 to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with the forecasted purchase of Alfmeier. These contracts matured and were settled in the third quarter of 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized expense of $4,288 and $3,806, respectively, in Foreign currency (loss) gain within the consolidated condensed income statement.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company is party to receivable factoring agreements with unrelated third parties under which we can sellsells certain customer trade receivables for certain account debtors, on a revolvingnon-recourse basis subject to outstanding balances and concentration limits.under factoring arrangements with designated financial institutions. The receivable factoringsale of receivables under these agreements are transferred in their entiretyis considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the acquiring entitiesCompany and areis accounted for as a sale.

Note 1110 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

Market: This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Income: This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations.

19


Cost: This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Except for derivative instruments (see Note 10)9) and pension plan assets, the Company had no material financial assets and liabilities that were carried at fair value at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

18


Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilized a third-party to assist in the Level 3 fair value estimates of other intangible assets for recent acquisitions (see Note 3)2). The estimated fair values of these assets were based on third-party valuations and management’s estimates, generally utilizing income and market approaches. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no other significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Items Not Carried at Fair Value

The Company uses an income valuation technique to measure the fair values of its debt instruments by converting amounts of future cash flows to a single present value amount using rates based on current market expectations (Level 2 inputs). As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, the carrying values of the indebtedness under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were not materially different than the estimated fair values because the interest rates on variable rate debt approximated rates currently available to the Company (see Note 7)6).

Note 1211 – Equity

In December 2020, the Board of Directors of Gentherm Incorporated (“Board of Directors”) authorized a stock repurchase program (the “2020 Stock Repurchase Program”) to commence upon expiration of the prior stock repurchase program on December 15, 2020.. Under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150,000 of its issued and outstanding common stock over a three-year period, expiring December 15, 2023.

Repurchases may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations. Any such repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions. Repurchases may be funded from cash on hand, available borrowings or proceeds from potential debt or other capital markets sources. TheDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did repurchased $no9,997t make any repurchases of shares under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, or September 30, 2021.with an average price paid per share of $59.27. The 2020 Stock Repurchase Program had $130,000120,003 of repurchase authorization remaining as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

The Company expects all of the existing gains and losses related to foreign currency derivatives reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. See Note 109 for additional information about derivative financial instruments and the effects from reclassification to net income.

Note 1413 – Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its bestan estimate of the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax provision or benefit related to unusual or infrequent items, if applicable, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effects are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years or income tax contingencies is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual expected effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (and/or loss) earned and taxed in respective jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of the realizability of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the composition and timing of actual earnings compared to annual projections. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as our tax environment changes. To the extent that the expected annual effective income tax rate changes, the effect of the change on prior interim periods is included in the income tax provision in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

A summary of the provision for income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, is shown below:

The tax amount included the effect of the settlement and closure of a multi-year state audit of $454. Adjusted for the audit impacts, the effective rate was 28.0%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”), and the quarterly accrual for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the impact of research and development credits in various jurisdictions and certain favorable tax effects on equitystock compensation vesting.

Income tax expense was $4,6464,295 for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 on earnings before income tax of $20,33216,042 representing an effective tax rate of 22.926.8%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of quarterly accrual for uncertain tax positions, GILTI, withholding taxes and other non-deductible expenses, partially offset by the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate in the third quarter of 2021.

Income tax expense was $13,998 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on earnings before income tax of $42,644, representing an effective tax rate of 32.8%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, the unfavorable impact of the GILTI, and the quarterly accrual for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the impact of certain favorable tax effects of equity vesting.

Income tax expense was $17,959 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 on earnings before income tax of $91,345 representing an effective tax rate of 19.7%. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to certain favorable tax effect on equity vesting, intercompany transactions in 2021 and the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of uncertain tax positions, GILTI, withholding taxes and other non-deductible expenses.stock compensation vesting.

Overview

Gentherm Incorporated is the global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies for the automotive industry.and medical industries. Automotive products include variable temperature Climate Control Seats, heated automotive interior systems (including heated seats, steering wheels, armrests and other components), battery performance solutions, cable systems, lumbar and massage comfort solutions, valve system technologies,systems, and other electronic devices. Medical products include patient temperature management systems. The Company is also developing a number of new technologies and products that will help enable improvements to existing products and to create new product applications for existing and new markets. Our automotive products can be found on vehicles manufactured by nearly all the major OEMsoriginal 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. Medical products include patient temperature management systems. Our medical products can be found in hospitals throughout the world, primarily in the US, China, Germany and Brazil. The Company is also developing a number of new technologies and products that are expected towill help enable improvements to existing products, improve health, wellness and patient outcomes and will lead to create new product applications for existing and new and adjacent markets.

25


Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the OEMs, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles, our product content per vehicle, and other factors that may limit or otherwise impact production by us, our supply chain and our customers. Historically, new vehicle demand and product content (i.e. vehicle features) have been driven by macro-economicmacroeconomic and other factors, such as interest rates, automotive manufacturer and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends and government and tax incentives. Vehicle content has also been driven by trends in consumer preferences, such as preferences for smart devices and features, personalized user experience, and comfort, health and wellness. Economic volatility or weakness, as well as geopolitical factors, in North America, Europe or Asia, have had and could result in a significant reduction in automotive sales and production by our customers, which have had and would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. InSince 2020, and 2021, and continuing into 2022, the automotive industry has experienced fluctuating demand and production disruptions related to supply chain challenges, facility closures, labor shortages, work stoppages and inflationary pressures, as described below. We believe our diversified OEM customer base and geographic revenue base, along with

23


our flexible cost structure, have well positioned us to withstand the impact of industry downturns and benefit from industry upturns in the ordinary course. However, shifts in the mix of global automotive production to higher cost regions or to vehicles withthat contain less of our product content as well as continuing production challenges and inflationary pressures could adversely impact our profitability. In addition, we may be adversely impacted by volatility weakness or accelerated growthweakness in markets for hybrid or electric vehicles specifically. We believe our products offer certain advantages for hybrid and electric vehicles, including improved energy efficiency, and position us well to withstand changes in the volume mix between vehicles driven by internal combustion engines and hybrid and other electric vehicles. We alsobelieve our industry is increasingly progressing towards a focus on human comfort and health, which is evidenced by increasing adoption rates for comfort products. We believe that products we are developing, such as ClimateSense® and our acquisition of Alfmeier’s pneumatic comfort solutions, position us well to address trends in consumer preferences such as personalized user experience, comfort, health and wellness.

Recent Trends

General EconomicMacroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions

The COVID-19 pandemic that began around December 2019 introduced significant volatility toSince 2020, the global economy has experienced significant volatility and disrupted supply chains, andwhich has had a widespread adverse effect on the global automotive industry in the first half of 2020, with various direct and indirect adverse impacts continuing throughout 2021 and into 2022.

Beginning in February 2020 and continuing into June 2020, substantially all of the Company’s major OEM and Tier 1 customers temporarily ceased or significantly reduced production as a result of restrictions that were requested or mandated by governmental authorities. As a result, substantially all of our manufacturing facilities either temporarily suspended production or experienced significant reductions in volumes during this period. By the end of the second quarter of 2020, the Company had reopened all of its manufacturing facilities, in line with industry demand, and in accordance with local government requirements. Although global automotive industry production has improved relative to the first half of 2020, production remains below recent historic levels.

The lingering impacts of COVID-19 throughout 2021 and into 2022industry. These macroeconomic conditions have impeded global supply chains, resulted in longer lead times and delays in procuring component parts and raw materials, and resulted in inflationary cost increases in certain raw materials, labor and transportation. These broad-based inflationary impacts have negatively impacted the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows throughout 2021flows. Although we are optimistic that the worst of the global macroeconomic volatility is in the past, the direct and indirect impacts on our markets, operations, and financial performance have been unpredictable. As a result of this continued uncertainty, there may still be impacts on our industry, operations, workforce, supply chains, distribution systems, and demand for our products in the future which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Additionally, the United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. As a result of the conflict, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other countries have levied economic sanctions and bans on Russia and Russia has responded with its own retaliatory measures. These measures have impacted the price of certain raw materials and energy and could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies.

Our facility in Vynohradiv is on the far western corner within the Transcarpathia region of Ukraine near the Hungary border. In 2022, products manufactured at our Ukraine facility represented approximately 8% of the Company’s total revenue, including automotive cables, seat heaters and steering wheel heaters. At this time, our Ukraine facility is operating at normal levels and we continue to execute contingency plans and, in coordination with certain customers, specific equipment and production relocations leveraging our flexible global manufacturing footprint. Certain of our employees in Ukraine are routinely conscripted into 2022.the military and/or sent to the Russian border to fight in the ongoing conflict. We expect these inflationary impactshave incurred, and will likely continue to incur costs to support our employees and relocate equipment and production based on customer and company needs. Further, most of our products manufactured in Ukraine are shipped across the border from Ukraine to Hungary for further delivery to our customers. If that border crossing were to be closed or restricted for any reason, we may experience a significant disruption to our operations. Our response to the ongoing conflict is based on a severity level contingency response plan that has been developed with certain customers. As the situation in Ukraine is very fluid, we continue for the foreseeable future.to monitor its effects on our business and we continue to work closely with our customers to adjust our contingency response as necessary.

Supply shortages of semiconductor chips and other components have resulted in decreases in global automotive vehicle production and significant volatility in customer vehicle production schedules. The Company's semiconductor suppliers, along with most automotive component supply companies that use semiconductors, including Gentherm, have been unable to fully meet the vehicle production demands of the OEMs due to events which are outside the Company's control, including but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, the global semiconductor shortage, fires at suppliers’ facilities, significant weather events impacting semiconductor supplier facilities in the southern United States, and other extraordinary events. The Company was able to mitigate the impacts of supply chain disruptions in order to satisfy customer orders during the first three quarters of 2021; however, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and continuing into 2022 we havehas experienced and may continue to experience direct adverse impacts of ongoing shortages of semiconductors. Our ability to meet customer orders without significant delay and/or expense for the remainder of 2022 and beyond remains subject to significant uncertainty.

26Global inflation has increased significantly beginning in 2021. Changing costs of freight, materials, equipment, labor and other inputs used to manufacture and sell our products and logistics costs, in particular, have impacted and may in the future impact operating costs and, accordingly, may affect the prices of our products. We are involved in continuing programs to mitigate the impact

24


of cost increases through identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible. However, there have been, and there may still be, impacts we are not able to fully mitigate or pass through the increases in our operating costs.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to the translation and remeasurement of the results of certain international operations into U.S. Dollars as part of the consolidation process. Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can create volatility in the results of operations and may adversely affect our financial condition.

In response to the global supply chain instability and inflationary cost increases, the Company has taken several actions to minimize any potential and actual adverse impacts by working closely with its suppliers and customers to closely monitor the availability of semiconductor microchips and other component parts and raw materials, customer vehicle production schedules and any other supply chain inefficiencies that may arise. We expect global supply chain instability will continue to have an adverse impact on our business and financial performance for the foreseeable future, and such adverse impact may be material. The consequences of the pandemic, global supply chain instability and inflationary cost increases and their adverse impact to the global economy continue to evolve. Accordingly, the significance of the future adverse impact on our business and financial statements remains subject to significant uncertainty as of the date of this filing.

In addition to the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19, the United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. As a result of the conflict, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other countries have levied economic sanctions and bans on Russia and Russia has responded with its own retaliatory measures. These measures have impacted the price of certain raw materials and energy and could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies.

Our facility in Vynohradiv is on the far western corner of Ukraine near the Hungary border. In 2021, products manufactured at our Ukraine facility represented approximately 11% of the Company’s total revenue, including automotive cables, seat heaters and steering wheel heaters. At this time, our Ukraine facility is operating and we are in process of executing contingency plans and, in coordination with certain customers, specific equipment and production relocations leveraging our flexible global manufacturing footprint. Our response to the escalating situation is based on a severity level contingency response plan that has been developed with certain customers. As the situation in Ukraine is very fluid, we continue to monitor its effects on our business and we continue to work closely with our customers to adjust our contingency response as necessary.

Acquisitions

On July 29,13, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Jiangmen Dacheng Medical Equipment Co. Ltd (“Dacheng”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, IOB Medical, Inc. Dacheng, a privately held manufacturer of medical materials and medical equipment, including patient temperature management solutions, for numerous local and international customers.

The total consideration for this acquisition was $164.9$170.7 million. On the closing date, the Company made cash payments of approximately $188.9 million, net of cash acquired. We expect to receive cash from the seller of $24.1 million (“Purchase Consideration Receivable”) in connection with the finalization and settlement of post-closing adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. Substantially all of the adjustments known as of this filing relate to lower cash on hand as of the closing date than estimated and a pre-closing reorganization transaction. We expect additional adjustments for actual working capital, cash and cash-like items and debt and debt-like items as of the closing date. All post-closing adjustments are expected to be finalized within 120 days of the closing date, provided there are no disputes. Potential disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the purchase agreement. The Purchase Consideration Receivable is recorded in Other current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2022.

The total consideration for this acquisition was $35.0 million, which is comprised of cash payments, net of cash acquired. The purchase agreement also includes future cash payments of up to $3.0 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics and continued employment of the former majority shareholder through a series of defined dates. These contingent payments will be accounted for as compensation expense and will be recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative.

See Note 3,2, “Acquisitions” ofto the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report for additional information.

27Impairments – Non-Automotive Electronics Business


On December 31, 2022, the Company approved a plan to exit its non-automotive electronics business to strengthen the Company’s core business and focus its resources and equipment with businesses and investments that are more strategic and profitable. The Company will continue to sell certain non-automotive electronics products until the exit is complete. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $9.4 million, $5.6 million and $0.7 million for write downs of inventory, intangible assets and property and equipment, respectively, within the Automotive segment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $1.4 million for the write down of inventory within the Automotive segment. This charge is recorded in Cost of sales.

The Company is no longer pursuing a sale of the business and intends to wind-down the operations of the business by the end of 2023, subject to discussions with customers and suppliers.

Light Vehicle Production Volumes

Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles, and our content per vehicle, and other factors that may limit or otherwise impact production by us, our supply chain and our customers.

The S&P Global Mobility (October 2022(April 2023 release) forecasted light vehicle production volume in the Company’s key markets for full year 20222023 to increase to 67.670.4 million units, a 4.5%4.1% increase from full year 20212022 light vehicle production volumes. Forecasted light vehicle production volumes are a component of the data we use in forecasting future business. However, these forecasts generally are updated monthly, and future forecasts may be significantly different from period to period due to changes in macroeconomic conditions or matters specific to the automotive industry, such as the fluctuations that occurred in 2020 and remain ongoing due to the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.industry. Further, due to differences in regional product mix at our manufacturing facilities, as well as material production schedules from our customers for our products on specific vehicle programs, our future forecasted results do not directly correlate with the global and/or regional light vehicle production forecasts of S&P Global Mobility or other third-party sources.

New Business Awards

We believe that innovation is an important element to gaining market acceptance of our products and strengthening our market position. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2022,2023, we secured new automotive business awards totaling $430$480 million in the quarter. Automotive new business awards represent the aggregate projected lifetime revenue of new awards provided by our customers to Gentherm in the applicable period, with the value based on the price and volume projections received from each customer as of the award date. Although automotive new business awards are not firm customer orders, we believe that new business awards are an indicator of future revenue. New business awards are not projections of revenue or future business as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the date of this Report or any other date. Customer projections regularly change over time and we do not update our calculation of any new business award after the date initially communicated. Automotive new business awards in the thirdfirst quarter 20222023 also do not reflect, in particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemicmacroeconomic and related macroeconomicgeopolitical challenges on future business. Revenues resulting from automotive new business awards also are subject to additional risks and uncertainties that are included in this Report or incorporated by reference in “Forward-Looking Statements” above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Our cash requirements consist principally of working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, operating lease payments, income tax payments and general corporate purposes. We generally reinvest available cash flows from operations into our business, while opportunistically utilizing our authorized stock repurchase program. Further, we continuously evaluate acquisition and investment opportunities that will enhance our business strategies.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had $139.2$166.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $264.5$266.4 million of availability under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $38.0 million of availability under our receivables factoring arrangements. Significant changes in liquidity occurred during July 2022 in connection with the close of the Alfmeier and Dacheng acquisitions. See "Material Cash Requirements" below for further information.Agreement. We continue to maintain access to the capital markets and may issue debt or equity securities, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. ThereHowever, there can be no assurance equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current shareholders.

We continue to expect to be able to move funds between different countries to manage our global liquidity needs without material adverse tax implications, subject to current monetary policies and the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We utilize a combination of strategies, including dividends, cash pooling arrangements, intercompany loan repayments and other distributions and advances to provide the funds necessary to meet our global liquidity needs. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Gentherm Incorporated. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled approximately $117.8$134.0 million. If additional non-U.S. cash was needed for our U.S. operations, we may be required to accrue and pay withholding if we were to distribute such funds from non-U.S. subsidiaries to the U.S.; however, based on our current liquidity needs and strategies, we do not anticipate a need to accrue and pay such additional amounts.

We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings available under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and receivables factoring arrangements, and cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Other Sources of Liquidity

The Company is party to receivable factoring agreements with unrelated third parties under which we can sell receivables for certain account debtors, on a revolving basis, subject to outstanding balances and concentration limits. The receivable factoring agreements are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. Some of the agreements, including those assumed through the acquisition of Alfmeier, have deferred purchase price arrangements. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were $20.2$3.3 million outstanding receivables transferred under the receivable factoring agreements and our availability under the receivables factoring agreements was $38.0 million.agreement.

Material Cash Requirements

Significant liquidity was required during July 2022 to close the Alfmeier and Dacheng acquisitions. In connection with these acquisitions, we drew $202.0 million from the U.S. Revolving Note and made cash payments totaling approximately $224.1 million, including amounts placed in escrow. Additional cash payments may be required for contingent payments of up to $3.0 million related to the Dacheng acquisition. See "Acquisitions" above for additional information about the purchase prices associated with these transactions.

The Company continues to enter into agreements with suppliers to reserve the right to purchase certain semiconductor chips over periods of 12-24 months. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company’s total commitments for these semiconductor chip agreements was $37.3

$40.6 million. See Note 8,7, “Commitments and Contingencies” ofto the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report for additional information.

Except as described above, there have been no material changes in our cash requirements since December 31, 2021,2022, the end of fiscal year 2021.2022. See Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 for additional information regarding our material cash requirements.

Effects of Inflation

The automotive component supply industry has historically been subject to inflationary pressures with respect to materials and labor. InBeginning in 2021 and continuing in 2022, macroeconomic effectsinto the first quarter of 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted inindustry has experienced inflationary cost increases in certain materials and components, labor and transportation. These inflationary cost increases are expected to continue intofor the foreseeable future as demand remains elevated and supply remains constrained. Although the Company has developed and implemented strategies to mitigate the impact of higher material component costs and transportation costs, these strategies, together with commercial

negotiations with Gentherm's customers and suppliers have not fully offset to date and may not fully offset our future cost increases. Such inflationary cost increase may increase the cash required to fund our operations by a material amount.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,”Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the three months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update our estimates, 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities such as copper. Market risks for changes in interest rates relate primarily to itsthe Company's debt obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers not denominated in a location’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness, acquisitions denominated in foreign currencies, intercompany investments and include exposures to the Euro, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, North Macedonian Denar, Ukrainian Hryvnia, Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, Korean Won, Czech Koruna and Vietnamese Dong.

The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative financial instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Some derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting; for other derivative contracts, we elect to not apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s designated hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. For derivative contracts that can be classified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. When the underlying hedge transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings in the consolidated condensed statements of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The Company records the ineffective portion of foreign currency and copper commodity hedging instruments, if any, to cost of sales, and the ineffective portion of interest rate swaps, if any, to interest expense in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported in net cash provided by (used in) provided by operating activities in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

Information related to the fair values of all derivative instruments in our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 is set forth in Note 10,9, “Financial Instruments” in the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Report.

Based on the amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point change (increase or decrease) in interest rates would impact annual interest expense by $2.3 million.

In connection with the acquisitions of Alfmeier and Dacheng, we drew $202.0 million from the U.S. Revolving Note in July 2022. To hedge the Company's exposure to interest payment fluctuations on a portion of these borrowings, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100.0 million.

The model assumes a parallel shift in currency exchange rates; however, currency exchange rates rarely move in the same direction. The assumption that currency exchange rates change in a parallel fashion may overstate the impact of changing currency exchange rates on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In conjunction with our recent acquisition activity, we utilized our framework of internal control over financial reporting specific to business combinations. The applicable controls address the various elements of a business combination, including but not limited to: 1) calculation of the consideration transferred; 2) identifying and properly accounting for transactions that are separate from the business combination; 3) use and oversight of competent and qualified personnel in performing the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; 4) review of inputs and outputs to the valuation models; 5) identifying and disclosing provisional amounts; and 6) tracking measurement period adjustments.

Our acquisition of Dacheng became effective on July 13, 2022 and the acquisition of Alfmeier became effective on July 29, 2022. We are currently integrating policies, processes and operations for the combined companies and will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we develop and execute our integration plans. We will exclude the acquired operations of Dacheng and Alfmeier from our assessment of Gentherm’s internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2022 as permissible under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except as described above with regard to the acquisition and integration of Alfmeier and Dacheng, thereThere were no changes in ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
