“Garrett delivered a solid first quarter of $915 million of net sales, a 16.5% adjusted EBITDA margin and $68 million of adjusted free cash flow. These results once again demonstrate our ability to generate operational efficiency by leveraging our flexible cost structure,” said Garrett President and CEO, Olivier Rabiller. “This robust execution allowed us to again return value to shareholders and execute on our capital allocation priorities. In the quarter we repurchased $109 million of common stock and on April 10th, we made an early debt repayment of $100 million.”

“Our differentiated technologies continue to build momentum in both turbo and zero emission applications. This quarter, we continued to see increased customer interest for larger turbos which resulted in two new series production awards in power generation. Our high speed, best in class traction motor is currently undergoing vehicle testing with a leading global OEM and we also added two new series production awards for our high-speed fuel cell compressor applications. This progress highlights Garrett’s ability to provide innovative and differentiated solutions to address our customers’ unmet needs.”

Results of Operations

Net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were $915 million, representing a decrease of 6% (including an unfavorable impact of $8 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $970 million in the first quarter of 2023. This decrease was mainly driven by demand softness in gasoline, diesel and commercial vehicles as compared to the first quarter of 2023. Net sales further declined due to pricing decreases, net of inflation pass-through, driven by commodity deflation. This decrease was partially offset by favorable demand for aftermarket replacement parts in North America, China and Brazil.

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2024 decreased to $743 million from $781 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by $29 million of lower sales volumes, $17 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation and $10 million of productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs. These decreases were partially offset by $16 million from unfavorable product mix and $2 million of higher research and development (“R&D”) costs, reflecting Garrett’s continued investment in new technologies.

Gross profit totaled $172 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $189 million in the first quarter of 2023, with a gross profit percentage for the first quarter of 2024 of 18.9% as compared to 19.5% in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by $16 million from lower pricing net of inflation recovery, $12 million from lower sales and $11 million from unfavorable product mix. Gross profit further decreased by $8 million due to foreign currency impacts. These decreases were partially offset by $17 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation and $15 million of higher productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2024 increased to $64 million from $56 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase compared with the prior year was mainly driven by $4 million of higher stock-based compensation expense. SG&A expenses also increased due to $2 million of additional professional services costs, $1 million of labor inflation impact and $1 million of unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 2024 was $31 million as compared to $27 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $18 million of higher interest expense from our $700 million term loan B (the “2023 Dollar Term Facility”) and increased market interest rates, partially offset by $6 million of higher gains on interest derivatives in the current year and $7 million from marked-to market remeasurement losses in the prior year on our interest rate swap contracts.

Non-operating income for the first quarter of 2024 was $5 million as compared to $3 million in the first quarter of 2023, with the increase primarily driven by foreign exchange transactional gains.

Tax expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $15 million as compared to $27 million in the first quarter of 2023, mainly driven by the reversal of tax reserves and lower U.S. taxes on international operations, partially offset by increased withholding taxes.

Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $66 million as compared to $81 million in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to $17 million of lower gross profit, $8 million of higher SG&A expenses and $4 million of higher interest expense, partially offset by $12 million of lower tax expense, as discussed above.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $84 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $92 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease of $31 million in net income excluding non-cash charges, and $11 million from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $35 million from changes in working capital (net of factoring).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $151 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $168 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to demand softness across gasoline, diesel and commercial vehicles, unfavorable mix, lower pricing net of inflation pass-through and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. These decreases were partially offset by strong operational performance through productivity, net of labor inflation and repositioning costs, and commodity, transportation and energy deflation.

Adjusted free cash flow, which excludes capital structure transformation expenses, cash paid for repositioning and factoring costs, was $68 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $88 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by $24 million of additional capital expenditures compared to prior year, $17 million of lower Adjusted EBITDA and $17 million of higher cash paid for interest. These decreases were partially offset by $35 million of lower working capital usage (net of factoring) versus prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 December 31, 2023, Garrett had $829 million in available liquidity, including $259 million in cash and cash equivalents and $570 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.

As of March 31, 2024, total principal amount of debt outstanding amounted to $1,683 million, down from $1,696 million as of December 31, 2023, due to repayments made on the 2021 Dollar Term Facility and foreign exchange impact.

During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased $109 million of common stock under our authorized share repurchase program.
