Gentherm Reports 2026 First Quarter Results

Revenue Growth of 7.2% (ex-FX) Year-over-Year Delivered Record Quarterly Revenue of $394 Million

Expanded Gross Margin versus Prior Year as Operational Initiatives Gain Traction

Announced Transformational Combination with Modine Performance Technologies; On Track to Close in 2026

NOVI, Michigan, April 23, 2026 -- Gentherm (NASDAQ:THRM), a global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Our team executed well in the first quarter. We started seeing the tangible results from our efforts to establish a more robust operating system which drove improved performance on stronger volumes. We also continued progressing our organic growth initiatives in both home and office, and medical markets," said Bill Presley, the Company's President and CEO. "This quarter also marked a strategic inflection point for Gentherm. Our announced combination with Modine Performance Technologies creates a stronger enterprise, with an expanded product portfolio, broader end market exposure, and clear value creation opportunities."

First Quarter Highlights

Announced planned combination with Modine Performance Technologies, establishing a leader in thermal and precision flow management solutions across attractive end markets. The transaction remains on track to close by the end of the year.
Delivered first home and office solutions to KUKA Home in Asia, extending scalable technology platforms into new markets.
Submitted a 510(k) Class II premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ThermAffyx™ Patient Safety System, an integrated patient warming and securement system leveraging automotive technology. Revenue is expected in the third quarter of 2026.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Secured Automotive New Business Awards totaling $395 million in the quarter.
Product revenues of $393.7 million increased 11.3% from $353.9 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues increased 7.2%, with Automotive increasing 7.7% and Medical decreasing 6.3%.
Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue increased 13.6% year over year, or 9.8% excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, outperforming S&P Global's mid-April light vehicle production report in our relevant markets by 14 percentage points.
Gross margin was 24.7%, compared to 24.4% in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by operating leverage and net material performance, partially offset by annual price reductions and higher labor costs.
Net income (loss) was $4.2 million, compared to $(0.1) million in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $49.3 million, or 12.5% of revenue, compared to $39.3 million, or 11.1% of revenue, in the prior year.
GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share was $0.14, compared to $(0.00) in the prior year.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.84,compared to $0.51 in the prior year.
Cash flow from operations was $(5.0) million, compared to $(13.3) million in the prior year.
First quarter ended with net leverage of ~0.2x and liquidity of $455.5 million.

Presley concluded, "While we navigate any potential near-team volatility, we are strategically repositioning the company, and I remain confident we have the right plan established to drive improved performance over the long-term."

The Company defines Pro Forma revenue as Gentherm's product revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), plus Modine Performance Technologies' Net sales for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), as reported by Modine Manufacturing Company, adjusted to reflect the latest business structure. The Company defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Gentherm's Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), plus Modine Performance Technologies' Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), as reported by Modine Manufacturing Company, adjusted to reflect the latest business structure and go-forward operational alignment.

The Company's reconciliations are included in this release or can be found in the supplemental materials for this reporting period on the Company's website.

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate, Net Debt, Net Leverage

and liquidity 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 (loss) 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, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate, Adjusted EPS, Pro Forma Revenue, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin. 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.
