Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter of 2026 were $930 million, representing an increase of 3% (including an unfavorable impact of $3 million or 0.3% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $902 million in the third quarter of 2025. Gasoline decrease was primarily driven by demand softness in China, partially offset by program ramp-ups in Europe, Japan, Korea and India. Diesel increase was primarily driven by strong demand for light commercial vehicles and pickup trucks in Europe, North and South America and India. Commercial vehicle and industrial increases were primarily driven by strong demand in North America and China for industrial and off-highway applications combined with higher on-highway demand in Japan, Korea and India. Aftermarket increase was primarily driven by higher demand for replacement parts in North America off-highway and industrial and stronger demand for passenger vehicles replacement parts in Europe.

Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2026 increased to $724 million from $716 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by $39 million related to product mix, $18 million of commodity, transportation and energy inflation, $6 million of higher RD&E costs and $5 million of foreign currency impact. This increase was partially offset by $24 million of higher productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs, $19 million of lower import tariffs and $17 million from lower sales volumes.

Gross profit totaled $206 million for the third quarter of 2026 as compared to $186 million in the third quarter of 2025, with a gross profit percentage for the third quarter of 2026 of 22.2% as compared to 20.6% in the third quarter of 2025. This increase in gross profit was driven by $21 million of favorable product mix, $20 million of higher productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs, $18 million of price net of inflation pass-through and $1 million of import tariffs. These increases were partially offset by $18 million of commodity, transportation and energy inflation, $8 million from lower sales volumes, $8 million of foreign currency impact and $6 million of higher RD&E costs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2026 increased to $58 million from $57 million in the third quarter of 2025. This increase was driven by $3 million of higher personnel costs, partially offset by $2 million of lower professional services and patent costs.

Other expense in the third quarter of 2026 was consistent with the third quarter of 2025.

Interest expense in the third quarter of 2026 was $27 million as compared to $29 million in the third quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense due to a different notional amount of debt outstanding during the period.

Non-operating expense (income) for the third quarter of 2026 was expense of $1 million as compared to income of $3 million in the third quarter of 2025, with the change in non-operating expense driven by the finalization of a tax indemnification obligation.

Tax expense for the third quarter of 2026 was $22 million as compared to $25 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily because of a decrease in U.S. taxes on international operations during 2026, the global mix of earnings from year-to-year, a one-time benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets in China during 2025, and deductions related to employee share-based compensation during 2026.

Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $97 million as compared to $77 million in the third quarter of 2025 primarily driven by $20 million of increased gross profit, $3 million of lower tax expense, and $2 million of lower interest expense, partially offset by $4 million of higher non-operating expense (income) and $1 million of higher SG&A expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $135 million in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to $100 million in the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $35 million. The increase was primarily driven by $28 million of higher net income net of non-cash charges and $15 million of favorable impacts from changes in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by $8 million from unfavorable working capital changes.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBIT increased to $152 million in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to $133 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase of $19 million was driven by $21 million of favorable product mix impact, $19 million pricing net of inflation pass-through and $18 million higher productivity, SG&A net. This increase was partially offset by $18 million commodity, transportation and energy inflation, $8 million of lower sales volume, $7 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact and $6 million higher RD&E costs.

Adjusted free cash flow was $136 million in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to $107 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $19 million higher Adjusted EBIT, $8 million lower cash taxes, $5 million lower cash interest and $3 million favorable impact from working capital (net of factoring), partially offset by $5 million higher capital expenditures.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2026, Garrett had $841 million in available liquidity, including $211 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $630 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.

2027 Share Repurchase Program

The new share repurchase program will commence on January 1, 2027, following the scheduled expiration of Garrett’s current share repurchase program on December 31, 2026.

Under the share repurchase plan, there is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase, and the Company may suspend or terminate the repurchase plan at any time.



Forward-Looking Statements

This communication and related comments by management may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements represent our current judgment about possible future activities, events, or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future. In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future performance, events, or results, and actual performance, events, or results may differ materially from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, many of which are described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including risks related to the automotive industry, the competitive landscape and our ability to compete, and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, among others. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication includes the following non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”): Constant currency sales growth, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted free cash flow. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and analysis of ongoing operating trends and are important indicators of operating performance because they exclude the effects of certain non-operating items, therefore making them more closely reflect our operational performance. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related GAAP measure, are set forth below. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related GAAP measures. For additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.​

Adjusted EBITDA margin (7)     19.7 %     18.2 %     19.0 %     17.7 %

(1) We evaluate performance on the basis of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. We define “EBIT” as our net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of (i) interest expense net of interest income and (ii) tax expense. We define Adjusted EBIT as EBIT, plus the sum of (i) repositioning costs, (ii) foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gain/loss, (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, and (vii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, if any. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBIT, plus the sum of (i) repositioning costs, (ii) foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gain/loss, (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, and (vii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, if any, plus (viii) depreciation and (ix) stock compensation expense. We believe that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:

  • Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing activities by eliminating the effects of interest;

  • certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of our results; and

  • Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of investing activities by eliminating the effects of depreciation.

  In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.

(2) Reflects interest income of $1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $1 million and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(3) Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension income and, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, includes $4 million payable to the Company’s former parent pursuant to an indemnity agreement established in connection with the Company’s spin-off. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the amount also includes a $5 million gain related to the resolution of certain environmental liabilities not directly related to the Company’s operations.

(4) Reflects third-party costs directly attributable to the refinancing of our credit facilities and any amendments thereto.

(5) Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.

(6) Adjusted EBIT margin represents Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net sales.

(7) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as cash flow provided from operating activities less capital expenditures and additionally adjusted for other discretionary items including cash flow impacts for capital structure transformation expenses, acquisition and divestiture expenses, debt refinancing costs, and factoring and guaranteed bank notes activity.
