Full Year 2021 Highlights

Product revenues of $1,046.2 million increased 14.6% from $913.1 million in 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 12.2% year over year
Automotive revenues increased 15.5% year over year; excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, increased 13.0% year over year

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (see table herein) was $3.01. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior year was $2.29
Secured new automotive business awards totaling $1.6 billion

"I am pleased with the continued strong execution by the Gentherm team, especially in light of the significant and ongoing headwinds in the global supply chain. In Automotive, we secured $1.6 billion of new awards from automakers around the world in 2021 and outperformed light vehicle production in our key markets by 13 percentage points for the year, achieving the highest Automotive revenue in the history of the company. In Medical, we returned to double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter primarily as a result of strong demand for Blanketrol®," said Phil Eyler, Gentherm's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"More importantly, we delivered record adjusted EBITDA, cash flow from operations and free cash flow in 2021. While supply disruptions will remain challenging in the near term, the momentum in new awards, expanding demand for our new technologies, especially in the EV market, along with our continued focus on innovation and execution position us well to deliver significant long-term shareholder value."

2021 Fourth Quarter Financial Review

Product revenues of $248.2 million decreased $40.7 million, or 14.1%, in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues decreased 13.0% year over year.

Automotive revenue decreased 15.1% year over year. Revenue decreased in all product categories with the exception of Battery Performance Solutions and Other Automotive. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, organic Automotive revenue decreased 14.1% year over year. According to IHS Markit's mid-February 2022 report for the fourth quarter of 2021, actual light vehicle production decreased by 12.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 in the Company's key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

Gentherm Medical revenue increased 16.7% year over year, primarily as a result of higher Blanketrol® sales globally.

See the "Revenues by Product Category" table included below for additional detail.

Gross margin rate declined to 27.1% in the current-year period versus 32.1% in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of the negative impact from industry-wide supply chain disruptions, annual customer price reductions, lower Automotive revenue as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation. These were partially offset by cost recoveries from customers and supplier cost reductions.

Net research and development expenses of $18.8 million in the 2021 fourth quarter increased $1.9 million, or 11.4% over the prior-year period, as the company increased investments in ClimateSense^TM and Battery Performance Solutions and had lower R&D reimbursements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $26.5 million in the 2021 fourth quarter decreased $5.1 million, or 16.2%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower stock compensation costs.

Restructuring expenses of $0.2 million in the current-year period were $2.1 million lower than the prior-year period.

As described more fully in the "Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA" table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $30.9 million in the 2021 fourth quarter compared with $57.0 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of $26.0 million or 45.7%.

Income tax expense in the 2021 fourth quarter was $2.5 million, as compared with $6.7 million in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was 10.9% for the current-year quarter. This rate differed from the Federal statutory rate of 21%, primary due to the cumulative impact from several discrete items as well as lower taxes on foreign earnings.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.60 compared with $1.02 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding restructuring expenses, non-cash purchasing accounting impact, acquisition and divestiture expenses and unrealized currency loss (see table herein), was $0.61. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period was $1.16.

2021 Full Year Financial Review

For full-year 2021, the Company reported product revenues of $1,046.2 million, a 14.6% increase over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, the year-over-year increase was 12.2%.

In the Automotive segment, 2021 full-year revenue was $1,004.6 million, a 15.5% increase compared to the prior year. Revenue increased in all product categories except Electronics. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, organic Automotive revenue increased 13.0% year over year. According to IHS Markit's mid-February 2022 report for full-year 2021, actual light vehicle production increased 0.3% compared to full-year 2020 in the Company's key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and Korea.

The Medical segment revenue was $41.5 million for full-year 2021, a 3.7% decrease compared to the prior year. The year-over-year reduction was due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elective surgeries especially in the first half of 2021 as well as higher demand in the prior year to treat COVID patients.

Gross margin rate was 29.0% in 2021, a 40-basis point decrease from 2020, primarily as a result of the negative impact from industry-wide supply chain disruptions, annual customer price reductions and wage inflation. These were partially offset by higher labor productivity, cost recoveries from customers, favorable foreign currency translation and higher Automotive volume leverage.

Net research and development expenses of $75.2 million in 2021 increased 10.5% due to increased investments in ClimateSense^TM and battery performance solutions, partially offset by higher reimbursements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $109.6 million in 2021 increased $4.5 million, or 4.3%, versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher incentive compensation and the absence of temporary COVID-19 cost reduction measures that were taken by the Company in 2020.

As described more fully in the "Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA" table included below, the Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $157.0 million in 2021 compared with $139.9 million in the prior year, an increase of $17.0 million or 12.2%.

Income tax expense in 2021 was $20.4 million, as compared with $21.9 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 17.9% for 2021. This rate differed from the Federal statutory rate of 21%, primary due to the cumulative impact from tax credits and deductions related to R&D as well as favorable tax impact from stock compensation.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for full-year 2021 was $2.79, as compared with $1.81 for the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding non-cash purchase accounting impact, unrealized currency loss, restructuring expenses and other impacts (see table herein), was $3.01. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the prior year was $2.29.

Guidance

The Company is providing the following guidance for full-year 2022:

Product revenues between $1.12 billion and $1.22 billion, based on the current forecast of customer orders, supply chain constraints, estimated recovery of industry-wide semiconductor supply, light vehicle production in the Company's key markets growing at a high single-digit rate in 2022 versus 2021 and current foreign exchange rates
Adjusted EBITDA between 14% and 16% of product revenues
Full-year effective tax rate between 26% and 28%
Capital expenditures between $50 million and $60 million

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 Operating Expense, 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 and Revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects including transaction expenses, debt retirement expenses, impairment of assets held for sale, gain or loss on sale of business, restructuring expense, unrealized currency gain or loss and unrealized revaluation of derivatives. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as earnings adjusted by gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects including transaction expenses, debt retirement expenses, impairment of assets held for sale, gain or loss on sale of business, restructuring expense, unrealized currency gain or loss and unrealized revaluation of derivatives. 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 Revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency translation as revenue, less the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates.

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 17, 2022.

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. 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, 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. Such forward-looking non-GAAP measures may differ significantly from the corresponding GAAP measures, due to depreciation and amortization, tax expense, and/or interest expense, some or all of which management has not quantified for the future periods.
