Release Date: October 22, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. - Gentherm Inc (NASDAQ:THRM) secured $555 million in automotive new business awards in Q3, bringing year-to-date total to over $1.6 billion, on track for at least $2 billion for the fourth consecutive year. - Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue grew 8.8% year-over-year, outpacing light vehicle production by 12 percentage points, with strong outperformance across all regions, led by China where domestic OEM sales exceeded global OEM sales for the first time. - The Modine acquisition closed on October 1, diversifying the business into power generation, commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty equipment, with a clear path to $3.5 billion revenue and $500 million adjusted EBITDA by 2030. - Gentherm Inc (NASDAQ:THRM) launched its first Puls.A massage system in automotive and received FDA clearance for ThermAffyx, with initial sales in Q3, while also acquiring Innovative Medical Equipment to expand patient thermal management portfolio. - The company repurchased approximately 2 million shares for $60 million since October 1, with $340 million remaining on authorization, and expects to remain active in Q4 given undervalued stock price. - Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 11.1% from 12.7% year-over-year, due to net material cost inflation, higher freight costs, and foreign exchange headwinds, particularly the Mexican peso. - Adjusted diluted earnings per share fell to $0.33 from $0.73 year-over-year, primarily due to a higher tax rate from M&A expense timing and treatment. - Gentherm Inc (NASDAQ:THRM) faces margin pressures from material cost inflation and freight, with no formal recovery mechanisms with customers, leading to lag in passing through costs. - Modine's Q4 contribution is expected at ~10% EBITDA margin, lower than the 11% at acquisition, partly due to cost pressures and conservatism, with recovery timing uncertain. - Inflation and recovery lag are expected to continue into 2027, and revenue synergies from the Modine combination will not meaningfully flow through until 2029-2030, with the bulk in 2030. Q: Gross margins were down year over year due to inflation and higher freight costs. What was the impact from price cost, what are you doing to recover it, and what is the typical lag before improvement? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said about one-third of the year-over-year gross margin decline was related to material inflation that has not been recovered, noting Gentherm has no formal recovery mechanisms with customers and each case is a negotiation. He said freight inflation accelerated in Q3 and is harder to pass through, creating a longer lag than anticipated. CEO Bill Presley added that the company is focused on what it can control, including higher capacity utilization and direct labor efficiency, lower scrap as a percentage of sales, and removal of spans and layers, while holding structured commercial conversations with customers. Q: How aggressive can Gentherm be with share repurchases in the fourth quarter, and over what time frame do you expect to use the authorization? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said buyback activity will depend on share price but that he sees severe dislocation in the stock relative to the company's future outlook. Gentherm has already repurchased $60 million of shares since October 1 and has $340 million remaining on its authorization, with 8 million shares remaining under the 10-million-share, two-year limit. He said he expects to repurchase at least as much in the fourth quarter as it has quarter-to-date, with the opportunity to do more. Q: The fourth-quarter Modine contribution implies roughly 10% EBITDA margins, below the ~11% at the time of the acquisition. Is that seasonality or cost pressure, and how should we think about it going forward? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said Gentherm expects the Modine business to perform at a higher level going forward and that the current view may include some conservatism given the company has only owned the business for about three weeks. He noted Modine faces cost pressures but has escalators in its contracts that provide a more mechanical recovery mechanism, albeit with a timing lag. Q: Can you give preliminary color on 2027, including key puts and takes for legacy Gentherm and Modine? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said Gentherm remains confident in the $1.7 billion revenue outlook for the legacy business in 2027, supported by launches including Puls.A, medical products and the IME acquisition, plus continued strength in Lumbar and Massage. On the Modine side, he expects power generation growth to pick up and sees early signs of commercial vehicle recovery. Overall, Gentherm expects a strong growth profile against a relatively flat automotive market. Q: On margins, are the inflation recovery lag and footprint action benefits on track? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said the inflation recovery lag appears likely to continue into 2027, while benefits from footprint actions in the legacy Gentherm business should be visible in 2027, with those actions largely complete in the fourth quarter. He also cited continued productivity and efficiency efforts and the early-stage 80/20 mindset, with teams mobilized to find margin opportunities and reallocate resources, which could benefit 2026 or 2027. Q: SG&A was up significantly year over year. What drove the increase? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard attributed the increase to transaction-related costs, additional depreciation from systems put in place, higher personnel costs in the quarter, and costs related to the acquisition of Innovative Medical Equipment. Q: Where does the home and office business stand today in terms of size, and how is the path to a $100 million business by 2028 progressing? A: CEO Bill Presley said Gentherm has strong visibility to $30 million in annualized revenue by 2028 based on awards to date with OEMs, supported by a pipeline that underpins the $100 million target. He noted the venture began in mid-2025 and the team has built a significant pipeline, including a differentiated commercial model signed with a furniture component distributor in the quarter that allows Gentherm to serve smaller customers it might not otherwise reach. Q: On power generation growth, what opportunities do you see, including backup power and data centers? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said much of Modine's power generation work supports diesel generation for after-meter power, largely for data centers, and the business has been building a backlog for months with capacity now in place to execute. He said there are also opportunities inside the data center, such as energy storage and plate heat exchanger technology, and broader applications outside traditional markets including medical products and industrial HVAC. Q: Light vehicle expectations moved lower in Q3, yet you reiterated the higher end of legacy Gentherm guidance. Where are the opportunities and changes in end-market expectations? A: CEO Bill Presley said demand for Gentherm's products remains strong in all regions despite lower industry volumes, with no regional dependency. He highlighted China, where Q3 marked the first quarter in company history that sales to domestic OEMs outpaced sales to global OEMs in China, a result of the company's local-market strategy, and said Gentherm expects the automotive segment to continue growing with no weakness in demand. Q: When should revenue synergies from the Modine combination begin to drive growth? A: CEO Bill Presley said revenue synergies will be back-end loaded, with green shoots in 2028, meaningful revenue flow starting in 2029 and the bulk hitting in 2030. He said the India win reinforced the thesis that local footprint and presence open up that market, and that the combined teams are aggressively pursuing joint product development for markets neither company serves separately today. Q: Is the restructuring and footprint consolidation program on schedule, and what savings are expected in 2027? A: CFO Jonathan Douyard said North American facilities in Mexico are largely consolidated with some cleanup in the fourth quarter, and the European footprint consolidation, including closing the Czech Republic site, is on track to be completed this quarter, leaving the company relatively clean entering January. He did not provide a specific 2027 savings number but said footprint actions are a key driver toward returning the legacy Gentherm business to 15% margins and should produce a step-function change in 2027.

After the prepared remarks, we'd be pleased to take your questions. Now I'd like to turn the call over to Bill. William Presley: Thank you, Greg. Good morning, everyone. Let's begin on Slide 3. When John and I joined Gentherm in January of 2025, we made it an imperative to diversify the business and to capitalize on Gentherm's capabilities to further expand into new markets. October 1 marked a defining milestone in Gentherm's evolution. We have emerged as a fundamentally different company, a global leader in innovative thermal and precision flow management technologies with a more diversified portfolio, incremental secular growth drivers, enhanced margin expansion opportunities and stronger cash generation. There are 3 key takeaways I want to highlight. First, our expanded end market exposure creates a more resilient business. We retain our leadership position in automotive while adding meaningful exposure to attractive growth markets, including power generation, commercial vehicles and heavy-duty equipment. The broader exposure provides greater diversification, expands our addressable markets and creates additional avenues for sustainable, profitable growth. Second, the combination creates complementary thermal and precision flow management platforms. Modine's mission-critical heat exchanger technologies optimize equipment performance across multiple industries. By combining heat exchangers, valves, fans and our complementary thermal management expertise, we can develop integrated solutions for emerging applications that expand beyond the products we offer today as individual businesses. As an example, in a liquid cooled energy storage system, the battery coolant loop passes through a plate heat exchanger to transfer heat to the external environment. Fans blow air over the exchangers to dissipate heat, while valves adjust coolant flow to the exchanger and control system pressure. This integrated setup ensures the energy storage system stays within a safe operating temperature window, maximizing life cycle and efficiency. We are not simply adding products and markets. We are expanding our ability to solve more complex customer problems and capture a broader range of growth opportunities. Third, we have a clear path to delivering a significant strategic and financial value. We have the capabilities, commercial opportunities and operational improvement levers to build a business generating more than $3.5 billion in revenue and over $500 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2030 with more than $1 billion in adjusted unlevered free cash flow over the next 4 years. We remain confident in delivering $25 million in cost synergies as previously communicated. However, we are most excited about the significant commercial opportunities ahead of us. As stated in the past, India represents an attractive growth opportunity for Gentherm with annual production of nearly 5 million light vehicles and more than 20 million 2-wheelers. Over the past year, Gentherm has engaged heavily with customers to enter the region, and we have received consistent feedback. Gentherm needs a footprint in India. Modine's established presence in the country has already unlocked a new Gentherm business award for air moving devices representing approximately $25 million in lifetime revenue with one of India's major light vehicle manufacturers and shipments are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027. This early proof point reinforces our thesis that establishing a local presence creates greater commercial access in India, where demand for climate-controlled seating is growing and the addressable market for valves is significant. We are also adopting some of the operating disciplines that have delivered results at Modine. The Modine team has used the 80/20 philosophy to drive meaningful operational and financial improvements. We are in the early stages of deploying that approach across Gentherm with a focus on prioritization and financial returns. I will close by emphasizing one point. Gentherm is proud of its heritage and confident in the future of its automotive business. However, we have proven we are more than automotive with recent launches in home and office, and medical. We are not just an automotive seat component supplier looking for adjacent markets. Together with Modine, we are a fundamentally different company with a more diversified business, a stronger platform for growth and clear opportunities to create significant long-term shareholder value. Please turn to Slide 4 for an update on our business and several key performance highlights. Let me start with the operating environment. Industry light vehicle production volumes were down year-over-year, but demand for our products remained relatively stable throughout the quarter. At the same time, macroeconomic and geopolitical developments continue to drive increased uncertainty and volatility. We are also managing additional margin pressures from material cost inflation, including freight. Our teams are addressing these headwinds through disciplined commercial actions and focused operational execution. We remain committed to protecting profitability while positioning the business for sustainable growth. Our core automotive business continues to deliver growth over market across all regions and product categories, reinforcing our confidence in the business and the strength of our customer relationships. We secured $555 million in automotive new business awards during the quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to more than $1.6 billion. We remain on track to secure at least $2 billion in awards for the fourth consecutive year. This continued commercial momentum reflects the value our technology portfolio delivers to the OEMs. We also reached an important product milestone with the launch of our first ever Puls.A massage system in the automotive market. This technology delivers an enhanced massage experience, and we see meaningful opportunities to extend its reach beyond automotive. Customer interest in the home and office market remains encouraging. During the quarter, we signed an agreement with a furniture component distributor that expands our access to customers through a differentiated commercial model. This approach allows us to reach additional customers more efficiently and convert opportunities that may not have been previously serviceable. Wins like this reinforce our confidence in the opportunity to build a $100 million home and office business by 2028. Turning to Medical. We made important progress on both product innovation and commercial expansion. Following FDA clearance, we successfully launched the ThermAffyx patient safety system with initial sales beginning in the third quarter. This is another demonstration of our ability to leverage proven automotive technologies and intellectual property and apply them in new markets. We've also completed the strategic acquisition of Innovative Medical Equipment, the provider of the ThermaZone thermal therapy device. This acquisition expands our patient thermal management portfolio and extends our commercial reach into the Veterans Administration health care system. IME is performing well, and the Gentherm team is focused on opening channels to cross-sell our complementary thermal management solutions across the combined customer base. Together, the ThermAffyx launch and the IME acquisition directly advanced 2 of our key medical priorities, refreshing and expanding our product portfolio and broadening our commercial channels. Both actions demonstrate how we are translating our strategy into tangible outcomes. Stepping back, the message is straightforward. Our teams are delivering across the priorities that matter most. We are securing profitable new business to grow above market in automotive, expanding into new markets, refreshing our product portfolio, broadening our commercial reach and improving operational execution. With that, I'll turn the call over to John. Jonathan Douyard: Thanks, Bill. Please turn to Slide 5. Our third quarter highlights reflect both short- and long-term commercial progress. Overall, automotive new business awards were $555 million. In addition, revenue of $405 million was up 4.7% compared to the same period last year or 4.4% when excluding foreign currency translation. Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenue increased 8.8% year-over-year or 8.5% ex-FX, outpacing actual light vehicle production in our key markets by 12 percentage points. This growth included strong outperformance across all regions, led again by China, where our sales to domestic OEMs exceeded our sales to global OEMs for the first time, a key indicator that our intentional focus to better represent the local market is gaining traction. From a product perspective, Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions delivered another strong quarter of revenue growth at more than 25% year-over-year. These results included the initial Puls.A revenue, as Bill noted earlier. Turning to profitability. We delivered $45 million of adjusted EBITDA or 11.1% of sales compared to 12.7% in the third quarter of last year. Strong operating leverage was offset by headwinds related to net material costs, inflation and foreign exchange. FX was primarily impacted by the year-over-year movement in the Mexican peso. On a GAAP basis, diluted losses per share were $0.08 in the third quarter. This was impacted by approximately $0.37 per share related to merger and restructuring expenses. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.33 compared to $0.73 per share in the third quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a higher tax rate driven by the timing and treatment of M&A expenses. These impacts are more normalized on a year-to-date basis, where adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.90 compared to $1.78 per share in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was approximately $59 million compared to $72 million in the prior year. We ended Q3 with net leverage of 0.4 turns and liquidity of $494 million. Following the closing of the Modine transaction on October 1 and the payment of the $63.5 million special dividend, we estimate that pro forma net leverage post synergies was 0.8 turns below our prior estimate of 1 turn. We previously indicated our intent to repurchase shares once the Modine transaction was closed. Since October 1, we have repurchased approximately 2 million shares for a total of $60 million. With $340 million remaining on our authorization and the current trading levels of Gentherm stock, we expect to remain active throughout the fourth quarter. As Bill indicated earlier, Gentherm is a different company post transaction with a strong growth outlook, and we believe the future of this business is currently underappreciated. Please turn to Slide 6. Before discussing our guidance, I want to echo Bill's comments regarding our combination with Modine Performance Technologies. Having now worked with the Modine team for over a year and worked closely over the last few weeks, our appreciation of the business' potential has grown and our confidence in the value of this transaction has only increased. The team is engaged and energized and most significantly, excited about the growth opportunities ahead in both their traditional and nontraditional markets. The integration is progressing well, and we are focused on delivering our synergy target and accelerating commercial opportunities. We continue to believe our combined business has a compelling outlook with a strong balance sheet, multiple growth engines and a clear path to margin expansion. As an update to our prior communication, while we cannot yet comment on Modine's most recent quarter performance, we have updated our view of the combined company's trailing 12-month pro forma financials through June 30, 2026. This update results in revenue of $2.7 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $346 million, which is up $20 million with improvements seen in both businesses when compared to the prior pro forma period. Turning to 2026. We have updated our full year guidance to reflect the expected fourth quarter financial contribution from Modine, which includes approximately $275 million of revenue, approximately $28 million of adjusted EBITDA and approximately $15 million to $20 million of free cash flow. As a result, we now expect the midpoint guidance for the full year to be as follows: revenue of $1.875 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $220 million and free cash flow of approximately $110 million with assumed CapEx of $55 million. This update reflects limited changes to Gentherm's prior full year guidance that was communicated in July. We continue to expect that the legacy Gentherm business will grow mid- to high single digits for the year, with revenue trending towards the higher end of the previous range, while we expect EBITDA to remain near the midpoint given the impact of increased inflation, which has accelerated since our July earnings call. As previously noted, we expect margins to be sequentially higher in the fourth quarter compared to Q3. We look forward to providing a more comprehensive outlook on 2027 in our February earnings call and remain excited about the financial profile of the combined company. We have a high level of visibility to growth, driven by strong automotive and adjacent market launch activity in the legacy Gentherm business as well as several exciting growth opportunities within Modine, including strong activity in power generation and early signs of recovery in commercial vehicles. Our view on the new Gentherm is increasingly positive, and we will see our strategic progress translate into improved financial performance as we move forward. I'll now hand it back to Bill for some closing remarks. William Presley: Thanks, John. Our achievements year-to-date demonstrate we are on the right track, and we remain focused on finishing the year strong. Our business is growing. We're expanding our technologies into new markets and the improvements we are making to our operating system are positioning us for margin expansion. With the strength of our existing business and our transformational combination with Modine Performance Technologies, we are building a fundamentally stronger company that can deliver long-term value for our shareholders. With that, I will turn the call back to the operator to begin the Q&A session. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Our first question is from Nathan Jones with Stifel. Nathan Jones: I guess I'll start with some of the price/cost stuff. Gross margins were down year-over-year, not surprising given all of the inflation and higher freight costs. I know you also attributed part of that to FX. Can you maybe just talk about what the impact was from price cost, what you're doing to recover that and pass it through to customers? And what's a typical lag when you expect to see that, kind of, dynamic improve? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I think -- I mean, when you look at it overall, the year-over-year drop, I would say about 1/3 of it is related to sort of, material inflation and ability to recover. We -- we don't have formal mechanisms from a recovery perspective with our customers. And so each one is a negotiation as we've talked about before. I think if we looked at this earlier in the year, there were certainly some commodity impacts, the impact of oil on transportation and those types of things. I think what we saw accelerate in Q3 is really on the freight side, which is typically a more difficult conversation with the customer. It takes a little bit longer to materialize. And so there's maybe a bit more of a lag than what we would have anticipated and also some increased inflation there. But the teams are doing a good job working with the customer base to push it through, but we continue to experience the impact. William Presley: Yes. And I would just say, Nathan, the mindset here is we know inflation is a challenge, but we're not going to be a victim of inflation. We're attacking what we can control. So if you look deep into our fundamentals, the capacity utilization, the direct labor efficiency in the plants is up. Cost of nonconformance as a percentage of sales, like scrap, is down. And that doesn't happen by accident. That's the team focused on gaps to standards. We've removed spans and layers earlier in '26. As you know, we're now working through a standard plant structure to be completed by the end of the year. So where we can offset, where we cannot offset, to John's point, we're having structured commercial conversations with the customer, but it starts with building credibility with the customer by attacking the things that you can control and the self-help. Nathan Jones: Okay. I'm going to ask one on the share repurchase. I think you said about $340 million on the authorization there. And John mentioned a plan to be active during the fourth quarter. Obviously, the share price has come down here, a lot of good opportunities ahead. How aggressive can you be -- will you be in the fourth quarter with that? And kind of, over what time frame do you expect to exercise that authorization? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I mean, obviously, dependent on share price. I think as we look at it today, we think there's pretty severe dislocation in what the future outlook of the company is. We did $60 million in the fourth quarter already. As we noted, there's $340 million open on the authorization. The other limitation we have under the RMT is 10 million shares over a 2-year period of time. So there's 8 million shares remaining on that. We would -- I would expect that we will do at least what we did quarter-to-date, again, in the fourth quarter with the opportunity to do more than that. Nathan Jones: I'll get back in the queue. William Presley: Thanks, Nathan. Operator: Our next question is from Rajat Gupta with JPMorgan. Rajat Gupta: I just had a clarification around, like, just the fourth quarter Modine contribution. The $28 million EBITDA, $275 million revenue, it seems like around 10% EBITDA margins, which is a little lower than at the time of the acquisition, where I think it was tracking at 11%. I'm curious if that is just seasonality? Or is it, like, similar cost pressures that you're seeing on the Modine side, which can recover over time? Just any thoughts on that would be helpful. And I have a quick follow-up. Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I mean, I think the -- certainly, we expect more on that business going forward. Obviously, we've owned them now for about 3 weeks. And so there may be a sense of conservatism in there as well. But when you look at that business, they are certainly experiencing cost pressures. They do have escalators in their contracts. So there is more of a mechanical mechanism to recover that, which creates a bit of a timing lag. And obviously, we've seen prices continue to increase throughout the year. So there's an element of that. But overall, we think the business will operate at a higher level than that going forward. We're just early on in the acquisition. And so that's the current view. Rajat Gupta: Understood. And then any preliminary color you can give us on 2027 puts and takes? Any key moving pieces either product-wise or regionally just given all the cross currents in Europe and China, any initial color on just growth of market would be helpful. Maybe separating legacy Gentherm and Modine performance would be helpful as well. Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I think what we put out on the legacy Gentherm business, we put out a $1.7 billion revenue number for 2027. We're still very confident in what that looks like. And I think it will be a continued trend with what you're seeing, right? We've had a number of key launches. We talked about Puls.A entering the market today. We've got some medical launches and some favorability from the small acquisition we did there. And then the Lumbar and Massage products continue to operate well. I think on the Modine side, there's been some anticipation of power generation growth in that business and what they've been preparing for. We really start to see that pick up as well. So that will be a nice addition. We're also seeing early signs of commercial vehicle recoveries through indications from our customers. And so there are some nice tailwinds from that perspective. Overall, from an automotive market standpoint, we're still not anticipating growth. And so we think as we look at the year, we've got a strong growth profile and what's overall a relatively flat market. Rajat Gupta: And on the margin side, anything to call out there? Obviously, some of the inflation and recoveries are not entirely in your control, but just from a cost standpoint and footprint action benefit standpoint, are those on track? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. Completely fair. I think inflation, the recovery lag that will continue -- it appears like it will continue into '27. We do see the benefit from footprint actions in the legacy Gentherm business, the benefit of that in '27. So we are largely through those actions here in the fourth quarter. So we would anticipate an increase from that perspective. And beyond that, we're really looking to -- Bill talked about some of the operational items that we're really driving the teams on, and we look to continue to see productivity and efficiency out of the business. The one other piece I would point to, Bill made the comment in his prepared remarks, is just on the 80/20 mindset in general. We are early stages within the Gentherm business, but we do have teams together who are mobilized on specifically looking for margin opportunities and efficiency to ultimately reallocate resources to drive growth in the company. We may see some of that benefit as we get into 2026 and 2027 as well. So a lot going on, but we think there's a lot of positive momentum in the company. Rajat Gupta: Understood. Great. Thanks for all the color and good luck. Operator: Our next question is from Justin Ages with CJS Securities. Justin Ages: Hi, morning all. William Presley: Hey, Justin. Justin Ages: As I look at comparison to last year, SG&A was up pretty significantly. And I know you talked about some of the cost pressures, but maybe you could give us a little more detail on that, please? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I mean, I think if you're looking at -- you've got a couple of drivers in there. There's a lot of transaction-related costs, but to the extent that you're looking at an adjusted number, you do have an increase in -- related to the acquisition of IME. You'll see some additional depreciation in there as well from some of the systems that we put in place. There has been an increase in personnel costs as well in the quarter. So those, I would say, are the big drivers. Justin Ages: Okay. That's helpful. And then you mentioned good outlook remains on home and office getting to that $100 million business in 2028. Can you give us any more color on where the business kind of sits today in terms of size? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I would say based on awards to date with the OEMs, and it's a different model, obviously, than light vehicles, Justin, we have very strong visibility to $30 million in annualized revenue by 2028 with a pipeline that supports the $100 million target that we've been putting out there. So I would say 12 months in, right? I mean, we started this venture kind of in the middle of last year. The team has built a significant pipeline with significant engagement. As mentioned, we signed a differentiated commercial model with a component distributor during the quarter. So that allows us to service smaller customers that we might not otherwise service just due to scale. Justin Ages: That's helpful. All right. I appreciate the answers. Thank you. Jonathan Douyard: Thanks, Justin. William Presley: All right. Thank you. Thanks, Justin. Operator: Our next question is from Ryan Sigdahl with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Ryan Sigdahl: I want to start with, Jon, something you said of anticipation of some big things coming from power generation growth and preparing for that. Maybe more specifically, I know backup power and data centers, if that's what you're referring to, what you see in the pipeline is inside the data center, an opportunity, and then other industries. Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I think on the power generation side, a lot of what they're doing is supporting diesel generation, which is after meter power. A lot of that is going into the data center. And so the business has been building up a backlog associated with that now for a number of months. We've been working on capacity, and that's really in place to execute at this point. I think when we look at opportunities inside the data center, I mean, Bill gave an example early on that could certainly be applied from an energy storage perspective or even a heat exchanger plate technology that could be inside the data center. I think as we look at the business, there continues to be a view of broad application of Modine's products outside of their traditional markets. We alluded to it in the call. But even things like the medical industry and medical products have heat exchangers. If you look at what we're working with the team on now is things in, like, industrial HVAC potentially, which is not a place they played historically. So there's really broad opportunities for their products, and we're going to take a pretty broad view on how we go after the markets there. Ryan Sigdahl: Helpful. Light vehicle expectations moved a little lower in Q3. Good to hear you guys reiterate higher end of guidance for legacy Gentherm. But maybe talk through end markets specifically where there is opportunity where maybe there are changes in expectations from an industry standpoint? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. I think, Ryan, as you said, the industry moved down, the demand for our products remains strong. It actually remains strong in all regions. So we don't see any regional dependency on the demand for our products. I would say China continues to be strong for us. Third quarter was the first quarter in the history of the company that our domestic sales outpaced our global sales. So we officially sold more to Chinese OEMs in China than we did to the global customers over there, which has been part of our strategy. So we expect that to continue strong. We expect the automotive segment to continue to grow, and we see no weakness there from a demand standpoint. Ryan Sigdahl: Great. Congrats on closing the merger and kudos on having the buyback in place to execute. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Our next question is from Nathan Jones with Stifel. Nathan Jones: I'll do another couple. On the revenue synergy front, those are typically longer dated. It takes longer to get the awards. It takes longer to engineer the products, it takes longer for them to generate revenue. I know you talked about the one in India starting 4Q '27. When should we start to think about revenue synergy generation as a driver of growth? How do you see that progressing towards the longer-term goal? William Presley: Yes. I think, Nathan, you're right. It's going to be very hockey stick, right? It's going to have a very pronounced tail end. So I mean, I think appreciably, we'll start seeing some revenue flow through in '29. We'll start seeing green shoots of that in '28, but the bulk of that will hit in 2030. As you highlight, the win that we had in India really reinforced our thesis that having footprint and presence there would open up that market, and that's a market that we're excited about. And I would say there's a very aggressive hunger between the teams working together on product development. And you heard John allude to some of the things that they're working through that would put us together into markets that we're not in today separately. Nathan Jones: And the other one I wanted to ask about was the restructuring program, footprint consolidation stuff that you guys have been doing over the last year, 1.5 years. I think that was supposed to be complete by the end of 2026. Can you talk about -- is it on schedule and what the expected savings are in 2027? Jonathan Douyard: Yes. We talked -- as you look at North America, we've largely consolidated our facilities in Mexico at this point. So there's some cleanup in the fourth quarter. When you look at our European footprint consolidation, closing of the Czech Republic, that is on track to be completed this quarter as well. And so we should be relatively clean as we get into January of next year. We haven't put out a '27 number necessarily on that. We did talk about it as being a key driver for us as we look to get back to the 15% margin in the legacy Gentherm business. And so we should see a step function change as we get into '27.

Tap here. - Management noted that about one-third of the year-over-year margin drop is related to material inflation and recovery timing. - Unlike some competitors, Gentherm lacks formal mechanical recovery mechanisms, requiring individual negotiations that result in a lag, particularly for freight costs. - The company is prioritizing 'self-help' through plant efficiency and scrap reduction to build credibility during these customer negotiations. - The projected 10% EBITDA margin for Modine in Q4 is slightly lower than previous levels due to a mix of early-ownership conservatism and timing lags in contract escalators. - Management expects the Modine business to operate at higher margin levels going forward as price escalators catch up with inflation. - Growth in the power generation segment is being driven by diesel generation for 'after-meter' power in data centers. - Management sees potential to apply Modine's plate heat exchanger technology directly inside data centers and within industrial HVAC markets where they haven't historically competed. - Restructuring actions, including the closure of the Czech Republic facility and Mexico consolidations, are on track to be completed by the end of 2026. - These actions are expected to drive a 'step function change' in margins for the legacy Gentherm business starting in January 2027.

MarketBeat
- Interested in Gentherm Inc? Here are five stocks we like better. - Third-quarter revenue rose 4.7% to $405 million, led by strong automotive climate and comfort sales and more than 25% growth in lumbar and massage products. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 11.1% due to material and freight inflation, foreign-exchange effects and a higher tax rate. - Gentherm secured $555 million in automotive awards during the quarter, pushing year-to-date awards above $1.6 billion and keeping the company on track for at least $2 billion for a fourth consecutive year. It also advanced growth initiatives in home and office, medical and India. - Following the Modine combination, Gentherm expects the combined company to reach more than $3.5 billion in revenue and $500 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2030. For 2026, it forecasts midpoint revenue of $1.875 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $220 million and approximately $110 million in free cash flow, including Modine's expected fourth-quarter contribution. - Modine's $4B AI Coup Freezes Out the Competition Gentherm (NASDAQ:THRM) reported third-quarter revenue growth and continued automotive commercial momentum while outlining its strategy following the October 1 closing of its combination with Modine Performance Technologies. President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Presley said the transaction broadens Gentherm's end-market exposure beyond automotive into power generation, commercial vehicles and heavy-duty equipment. The company aims to combine Modine's heat exchangers, valves and fans with Gentherm's thermal-management technologies to address applications including energy-storage systems. → Aurora Rejects Curaleaf's Higher Bid, But the Takeover Fight Isn't Over "We have emerged as a fundamentally different company," Presley said, describing a more diversified portfolio, additional secular growth drivers, margin-expansion opportunities and stronger cash generation.

Automotive climate and comfort solutions revenue rose 8.8%, or 8.5% excluding currency effects, outperforming light-vehicle production in the company's key markets by 12 percentage points. → Could Quantinuum's Breakthrough Make Its Sell-Off a Bargain? Chief Financial Officer Jon Douyard said China was a notable contributor, as sales to domestic Chinese original equipment manufacturers exceeded sales to global OEMs in the country for the first time. Lumbar and massage comfort solutions revenue grew more than 25% year over year, including initial revenue from the company's Puls.A Massage system. Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $45 million, or 11.1% of sales, compared with 12.7% of sales in the prior-year period. Gentherm said operating leverage was offset by net material-cost inflation, freight costs and foreign-exchange effects, particularly movements in the Mexican peso. - GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.08, including about $0.37 per share of merger and restructuring expenses. - Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.33, compared with $0.73 a year earlier. The company attributed the decline primarily to a higher tax rate associated with the timing and treatment of M&A expenses. - Year-to-date adjusted diluted EPS was $1.90, compared with $1.78 in the prior-year period. - Adjusted free cash flow was about $59 million, compared with $72 million a year earlier. - Gentherm ended the quarter with net leverage of 0.4 turns and liquidity of $494 million. → IonQ's Bold Expansion Could Leave Shareholders Paying the Price Douyard said roughly one-third of the year-over-year gross-margin decline was tied to material inflation that the company had not yet recovered from customers. Gentherm does not have formal cost-recovery mechanisms with its customers, meaning price adjustments are negotiated individually, he said. Freight inflation accelerated during the third quarter and can take longer to address commercially. The company secured $555 million in automotive new-business awards during the quarter, bringing its year-to-date total above $1.6 billion. Gentherm said it remains on track to achieve at least $2 billion in awards for the fourth consecutive year. Presley said industry light-vehicle production declined year over year, but demand for Gentherm products remained relatively stable. The company said it continued to grow above market across regions and product categories. In India, Modine's existing local presence helped Gentherm win an air-moving-device program with a major Indian light-vehicle manufacturer. The award represents about $25 million in lifetime revenue, with shipments expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027. Presley said the award supports the company's view that a local footprint can expand commercial access in India. Gentherm also said it is pursuing non-automotive growth. In home and office, the company signed an agreement with a furniture-component distributor intended to broaden access to customers through a different commercial model. The company said it has visibility to $30 million of annualized home-and-office revenue by 2028 based on OEM awards, with a pipeline supporting its $100 million target for that business. In medical, Gentherm began initial third-quarter sales of its ThermAffyx Patient Safety System following FDA clearance. The company also completed its acquisition of Innovative Medical Equipment, which provides the ThermaZone thermal therapy device and expands Gentherm's access to the Veterans Administration Healthcare System. Gentherm said the combination with Modine creates a path toward more than $3.5 billion in revenue and over $500 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2030, along with more than $1 billion in adjusted unlevered free cash flow over the next four years. The company reaffirmed its target of $25 million in cost synergies. On a trailing-12-month pro forma basis through June 30, 2026, the combined company had revenue of $2.7 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $346 million, an increase of $40 million from the prior pro forma period, according to Gentherm. For 2026, the company updated its guidance to include an expected fourth-quarter contribution from Modine of about $275 million in revenue, $28 million in adjusted EBITDA and $15 million to $20 million in free cash flow. Gentherm now expects full-year midpoint revenue of $1.875 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $220 million and free cash flow of about $110 million, assuming $55 million in capital expenditures. Management said legacy Gentherm revenue is expected to grow at a mid- to high-single-digit rate for the year, toward the higher end of its prior range, while EBITDA is expected near the midpoint due to increased inflation. The company expects fourth-quarter margins to improve sequentially from the third quarter. Looking ahead, Douyard said Gentherm remains confident in its previously stated $1.7 billion 2027 revenue outlook for the legacy business. He cited automotive product launches, continued strength in lumbar and massage products, medical activity, potential power-generation growth at Modine and early signs of a commercial-vehicle recovery. Gentherm also repurchased approximately 2 million shares for $60 million after the Modine transaction closed. With $340 million remaining under its authorization, Douyard said the company expects to remain active in the fourth quarter, subject to share-price conditions.

Modine Stock In Focus Ahead Of Earnings Report With Strong Growth Expectations

Seize Modine Manufacturing's climate pivot as a jumping-off point to review other potential breakouts with resilient fundamentals in our hand picked 21 high quality undiscovered gems. To own Modine Manufacturing, you need to believe the slimmed down climate and data center business can turn strong demand into healthier, more stable earnings despite recent volatility.

The recent name change proposal to Modexus Solutions and completion of the Performance Technologies separation do not alter that operational test in a material way.

Guidance The Company updated its full year 2026 guidance to reflect the expected contribution from Modine Performance Technologies in the fourth quarter¹. | As of July 2026 | As of October 2026 Product Revenues | $1.55B – $1.65B | $1.825B – $1.925B Adjusted EBITDA | $185M – $200M | $210M – $230M Adjusted Free Cash Flow | $85M – $100M | $100M – $120M | | ¹2026 guidance based on tariffs currently in effect as of today, our current forecast of customer demand and expectations of near-term conditions, light vehicle production in our relevant markets decreasing at a low single digit rate for full year 2026 versus 2025, and a EUR to USD exchange rate of $1.15/Euro. Capital Allocation Update - On July 1, acquired Innovative Medical Equipment, LLC, provider of the ThermaZone® thermal therapy device, expanding thermal management product portfolio and providing strong cross-selling opportunities by leveraging complementary customer bases across additional healthcare channels. - On October 1, completed combination with Modine's Performance Technologies business. - On October 7, returned $63.5 million to shareholders through a special cash dividend of $2.07 per share as part of the Modine transaction. - In July, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program of up to $400 million of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock.

As of today, the program has approximately $340 million of stock repurchase authorization remaining. - Third quarter ended with net leverage of ~0.4x and liquidity of $494.2 million.

In addition, with reasonable frequency, we have entered into business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and other significant transactions. Such forward-looking statements do not include the potential impact of any such transactions that may be completed after the date hereof, each of which may present material risks to the Company's future business and financial results. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its strategies or expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"); Adjusted EBITDA margin; Adjusted net income; Adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted earnings per share" or "Adjusted EPS"); Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate; net capital expenditures ("net CAPEX"); Net Debt; Liquidity; Net Leverage Ratio ("Net Leverage"); revenue, segment revenue and product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses; Adjusted operating expenses; Pro Forma Revenue; Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA; and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The Company defines Adjusted net income as earnings adjusted by restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted net income divided by the Company's weighted average shares outstanding. The Company defines Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow as Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities for the current period, less that of the immediately preceding period. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities plus Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment less Purchases of property and equipment. The Company defines net CAPEX as Purchases of property and equipment less Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, excluding cash restructuring expenses, net and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations, less net CAPEX. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. 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 Liquidity as the sum of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Company's revolving line of credit. The Company defines Net Leverage as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters. The Company defines revenue, segment revenue or product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses as such revenue, excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excluding the other items specified. The Company defines Adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding related non-cash stock based compensation, restructuring expenses, net, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

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 defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA divided by Pro Forma Revenue. 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.

FY2026 Q3 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 71 paragraphs
Operator

Greetings. Welcome to the Gentherm third quarter 2026 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. Please note this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Gregory Blanchette, Senior Director in Investor Relations. Thank you, Greg. You may begin.

Gregory Blanchette

Thank you, and good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us today. Gentherm's earnings results were released earlier this morning, and a copy of the release is available at gentherm.com. Additionally, a webcast replay of today's call will be available later today on the investor relations section of Gentherm's website. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and actual results may differ materially. We undertake no obligation to update them except as required by law. Please see Gentherm's earnings release and its SEC filings, including the latest 10-K, and subsequent reports for discussions of our risk factors and other significant assumptions, risks, and uncertainties underlying such forward-looking statements. During the call, we will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G.

Gregory Blanchette

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are included in our earnings release and investor presentation. On the call with me today are Bill Presley, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jon Douyard, Chief Financial Officer. During their comments, they will be referring to a presentation deck that we made available on the investor section of Gentherm's website. After the prepared remarks, we would be pleased to take your questions. Now I would like to turn the call over to Bill.

Bill Presley

Thank you, Greg. Good morning, everyone. Let's begin on slide three. When Jon and I joined Gentherm in January of 2025, we made it an imperative to diversify the business and to capitalize on Gentherm's capabilities to further expand into new markets. October 1st marked a defining milestone in Gentherm's evolution. We have emerged as a fundamentally different company, a global leader in innovative thermal and precision flow management technologies with a more diversified portfolio, incremental secular growth drivers, enhanced margin expansion opportunities, and stronger cash generation. There are three key takeaways I want to highlight. First, our expanded end market exposure creates a more resilient business. We retain our leadership position in automotive while adding meaningful exposure to attractive growth markets, including power generation, commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty equipment. The broader exposure provides greater diversification, expands our addressable markets, and creates additional avenues for sustainable profitable growth.

Bill Presley

Second, the combination creates complementary thermal and precision flow management platforms. Modine's mission-critical heat exchanger technologies optimize equipment performance across multiple industries. By combining heat exchangers, valves, fans, and our complementary thermal management expertise, we can develop integrated solutions for emerging applications and expand beyond the products we offer today as individual businesses. As an example, in a liquid-cooled energy storage system, the battery coolant loop passes through a plate heat exchanger to transfer heat to the external environment. Fans blow air over the exchangers to dissipate heat, while valves adjust coolant flow to the exchanger and control system pressure. This integrated setup ensures the energy storage system stays within its safe operating temperature window, maximizing life cycle and efficiency. We are not simply adding products and markets. We are expanding our ability to solve more complex customer problems and capture a broader range of growth opportunities.

Bill Presley

Third, we have a clear path to delivering a significant strategic and financial value. We have the capabilities, commercial opportunities, and operational improvement levers to build a business generating more than $3.5 billion in revenue and over $500 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2030, with more than $1 billion in adjusted unlevered free cash flow over the next four years. We remain confident in delivering $25 million in cost synergies as previously communicated. However, we are most excited about the significant commercial opportunities ahead of us. As stated in the past, India represents an attractive growth opportunity for Gentherm, with annual production of nearly 5 million light vehicles and more than 20 million two-wheelers. Over the past year, Gentherm has engaged heavily with customers to enter the region, and we have received consistent feedback. Gentherm needs a footprint in India.

Bill Presley

Modine's established presence in the country has already unlocked a new Gentherm business award for air-moving devices representing approximately $25 million in lifetime revenue with one of India's major light vehicle manufacturers, and shipments are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2027. This early proof point reinforces our thesis that establishing a local presence creates greater commercial access in India, where demand for climate-controlled seating is growing and the addressable market for valves is significant. We are also adopting some of the operating disciplines that have delivered results at Modine. The Modine team has used the 80/20 philosophy to drive meaningful operational and financial improvements. We're in the early stages of deploying that approach across Gentherm with a focus on prioritization and financial returns. I will close by emphasizing one point. Gentherm is proud of its heritage and confident in the future of its automotive business.

Bill Presley

However, we have proven we are more than automotive with recent launches in home and office and medical. We are not just an automotive seat component supplier looking for adjacent markets. Together with Modine, we are a fundamentally different company with a more diversified business, a stronger platform for growth, and clear opportunities to create significant long-term shareholder value. Please turn to slide four for an update on our business and several key performance highlights. Let me start with the operating environment. Industry light vehicle production volumes were down year-over-year, but demand for our products remained relatively stable throughout the quarter. At the same time, macroeconomic and geopolitical developments continued to drive increased uncertainty and volatility. We are also managing additional margin pressures from material cost inflation, including freight. Our teams are addressing these headwinds through disciplined commercial actions and focused operational execution.

Bill Presley

We remain committed to protecting profitability while positioning the business for sustainable growth. Our core automotive business continues to deliver growth over market across all regions and product categories, reinforcing our confidence in the business and the strength of our customer relationships. We secured $555 million in automotive new business awards during the quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to more than $1.6 billion. We remain on track to secure at least $2 billion in awards for the fourth consecutive year. This continued commercial momentum reflects the value our technology portfolio delivers to the OEMs. We also reached an important product milestone with the launch of our first-ever Puls.A Massage system in the automotive market. This technology delivers an enhanced massage experience, and we see meaningful opportunities to extend its reach beyond automotive. Customer interest in the home and office market remains encouraging.

Bill Presley

During the quarter, we signed an agreement with a furniture component distributor that expands our access to customers through a differentiated commercial model. This approach allows us to reach additional customers more efficiently and convert opportunities that may not have been previously serviceable. Wins like this reinforce our confidence in the opportunity to build a $100 million home and office business by 2028. Turning to medical, we made important progress on both product innovation and commercial expansion. Following FDA clearance, we successfully launched the ThermAffyx Patient Safety System, with initial sales beginning in the third quarter. This is another demonstration of our ability to leverage proven automotive technologies and intellectual property and apply them in new markets. We've also completed the strategic acquisition of Innovative Medical Equipment, the provider of the ThermaZone thermal therapy device.

Bill Presley

This acquisition expands our patient thermal management portfolio and extends our commercial reach into the Veterans Administration Healthcare System. IME is performing well, and the Gentherm team is focused on opening channels to cross-sell our complementary thermal management solutions across the combined customer base. Together, the ThermAffyx launch and the IME acquisition directly advance two of our key medical priorities, refreshing and expanding our product portfolio and broadening our commercial channels. Both actions demonstrate how we are translating our strategy into tangible outcomes. Stepping back, the message is straightforward. Our teams are delivering across the priorities that matter most. We are securing profitable new business to grow above market and automotive, expanding into new markets, refreshing our product portfolio, broadening our commercial reach, and improving operational execution. With that, I'll turn the call over to Jon.

Jon Douyard

Thanks, Bill. Please turn to slide five. Our third quarter highlights reflect both short and long-term commercial progress. Overall automotive new business awards were $555 million. In addition, revenue of $405 million was up 4.7% compared to the same period last year, or 4.4% when excluding foreign currency translation. Automotive climate and comfort solutions revenue increased 8.8% year-over-year or 8.5% at ex-FX, outpacing actual light vehicle production in our key markets by 12 percentage points. This growth included strong outperformance across all regions, led again by China, where our sales to domestic OEMs exceeded our sales to global OEMs for the first time. A key indicator that our intentional focus to better represent the local market is gaining traction. From a product perspective, lumbar and massage comfort solutions delivered another strong quarter of revenue growth at more than 25% year-over-year.

Jon Douyard

These results included the initial Puls.A revenue, as Bill noted earlier. Turning to profitability, we delivered $45 million of adjusted EBITDA, or 11.1% of sales, compared to 12.7% in the third quarter of last year. Strong operating leverage was offset by headwinds related to net material costs, inflation, and foreign exchange. FX was primarily impacted by the year-over-year movement in the Mexican peso. On a GAAP basis, diluted losses per share were $0.08 in the third quarter. This was impacted by approximately $0.37 per share related to merger and restructuring expenses. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.33, compared to $0.73 per share in the third quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a higher tax rate driven by the timing and treatment of M&A expenses.

Jon Douyard

These impacts are more normalized on a year-to-date basis, where adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.90 compared to $1.78 per share in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was approximately $59 million, compared to $72 million in the prior year. We ended Q3 with net leverage of 0.4 turns and liquidity of $494 million. Following the closing of the Modine transaction on October 1 and the payment of the $63.5 million special dividend, we estimate that pro forma net leverage post synergies was 0.8 turns, below our prior estimate of 1 turn. We previously indicated our intent to repurchase shares once the Modine transaction was closed. Since October 1, we have repurchased approximately 2 million shares for a total of $60 million.

Jon Douyard

With $340 million remaining on our authorization and the current trading levels of Gentherm stock, we expect to remain active throughout the fourth quarter. As Bill indicated earlier, Gentherm is a different company post-transaction with a strong growth outlook, and we believe the future of this business is currently underappreciated. Please turn to slide six. Before discussing our guidance, I want to echo Bill's comments regarding our combination with Modine Performance Technologies. Having now worked with the Modine team for over a year and worked closely over the last few weeks, our appreciation of the business's potential has grown, and our confidence in the value of this transaction has only increased. The team is engaged and energized, and most significantly, excited about the growth opportunities ahead in both their traditional and non-traditional markets.

Jon Douyard

The integration is progressing well, and we are focused on delivering our synergy target and accelerating commercial opportunities. We continue to believe our combined business has a compelling outlook with a strong balance sheet, multiple growth engines, and a clear path to margin expansion. As an update to our prior communication, while we cannot yet comment on Modine's most recent quarter performance, we have updated our view of the combined company's trailing 12 month pro forma financials through June 30 of 2026. This update results in revenue of $2.7 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $346 million, which is up $40 million with improvements seen in both businesses when compared to the prior pro forma period.

Jon Douyard

Turning to 2026, we have updated our full year guidance to reflect the expected fourth quarter financial contribution from Modine, which includes approximately $275 million of revenue, approximately $28 million of adjusted EBITDA, and approximately $15 million-$20 million of free cash flow. As a result, we now expect the midpoint guidance for the full year to be as follows: revenue of $1.875 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $220 million, and free cash flow of approximately $110 million, with assumed CapEx of $55 million. This update reflects limited changes to Gentherm's prior full year guidance that was communicated in July. We continue to expect that the legacy Gentherm business will grow mid to high single digits for the year, with revenue trending towards the higher end of the previous range.

Jon Douyard

While we expect EBITDA to remain near the midpoint given the impact of increased inflation, which has accelerated since our July earnings call. As previously noted, we expect margins to be sequentially higher in the fourth quarter compared to Q3. We look forward to providing a more comprehensive outlook on 2027 in our February earnings call and remain excited about the financial profile of the combined company. We have a high level of visibility to growth driven by strong automotive and adjacent market launch activity in the legacy Gentherm business, as well as several exciting growth opportunities within Modine, including strong activity in power generation and early signs of recovery in commercial vehicles. Our view on the new Gentherm is increasingly positive, and we will see our strategic progress translate into improved financial performance as we move forward. I will now hand it back to Bill for some closing remarks.

Bill Presley

Thanks, Jon. Our achievements year-to-date demonstrate we are on the right track, and we remain focused on finishing the year strong. Our business is growing, we are expanding our technologies into new markets, and the improvements we are making to our operating system are positioning us for margin expansion. With the strength of our existing business and our transformational combination with Modine Performance Technologies, we are building a fundamentally stronger company that can deliver long-term value for our shareholders. With that, I will turn the call back to the operator to begin the Q&A session.

Operator

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment, please, while we poll for questions. Our first question is from Nathan Jones with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Nathan Jones

Good morning, everyone.

Jon Douyard

Good morning.

Bill Presley

Good morning, Nathan.

Nathan Jones

I guess I will start with some of the price cost stuff. Gross margins were down year-over-year, not surprising given all of the inflation and higher freight costs. I know you also attributed part of that to FX. Can you maybe just talk about what the impact was from price cost, what you are doing to recover that and pass it through to customers, and what is a typical lag when you expect to see that kind of dynamic improve?

Jon Douyard

I think when you look at it overall, the year-over-year drop, I would say about a third of it is related to material inflation and inability to recover. We do not have formal mechanisms from a recovery perspective with our customers, and so each one is a negotiation, as we have talked about before. I think as we looked at this earlier in the year, there was certainly some commodity impacts, the impact of oil on transportation, those types of things. I think what we saw accelerate in Q3 is really on the freight side, which is typically a more difficult conversation with the customer. It takes a little bit longer to materialize. And so there is maybe a bit more of a lag than what we would have anticipated and also some increased inflation there.

Jon Douyard

But the teams are doing a good job working with the customer base to push it through. But we continue to experience the impact.

Bill Presley

Yeah, and I would just say, Nathan, the mindset here is we know inflation's a challenge, but we're not going to be a victim of inflation. We're attacking what we can control. So if you look deep into our fundamentals, the capacity utilization, the direct labor efficiency in the plants is up. Cost of non-conformance as a percentage of sales, like scrap, is down. And that doesn't happen by accident. That's the team focused on gaps to standards. We've removed spans and layers earlier in 2026, as you know. We're now working through a standard plant structure to be completed by the end of the year. So where we can offset, where we cannot offset, to Jon's point, we're having structured commercial conversations with the customer. But it starts with building credibility with the customer by attacking the things that you can control and the self-help.

Nathan Jones

Okay. I'm going to ask one on the share repurchase. I think you said about $340 million on the authorization there, and Jon mentioned a plan to be active during the fourth quarter. Obviously, the share price has come down here. A lot of good opportunities ahead. How aggressive can you be, will you be in the fourth quarter with that, and over what timeframe do you expect to exercise that authorization? Thanks.

Jon Douyard

Yeah. Obviously dependent on share price. I think as we look at it today, we think there's pretty severe dislocation in what the future outlook of the company is. We did $60 million in the fourth quarter already. As we noted, there's $340 million open on the authorization. The other limitation we have under the RMT is 10 million shares over a two year period of time. So there's 8 million shares remaining on that. I would expect that we'll do at least what we did quarter-to-date, again, in the fourth quarter, with the opportunity to do more than that.

Nathan Jones

Great. Thanks. I'll get back in the queue.

Jon Douyard

Thanks, Nathan.

Operator

Our next question is from Rajat Gupta with JPMorgan. Please proceed with your question.

Rajat Gupta

Great. Thanks for taking the question. Just had a clarification around just the fourth quarter Modine contribution. The $28 million EBITDA and $275 million revenue seems like around 10% EBITDA margins, which is a little lower than at the time of the acquisition, where I think it was tracking at 11%. I'm curious if that is just seasonality, or is it similar cost pressures that you're seeing on the Modine side, which can recover over time? Just any thoughts on that would be helpful. And I have a quick follow-up.

Jon Douyard

I think certainly we expect more on that business going forward. Obviously, we've owned them now for about three weeks. There may be a sense of conservatism in there as well. When you look at that business, they are certainly experiencing cost pressures. They do have escalators in their contracts, so there is more of a mechanical mechanism to recover that, which creates a bit of a timing lag. We've seen prices continue to increase throughout the year, so there's an element of that. But overall, we think the business will operate at a higher level than that going forward. We're just early on in the acquisition, so that's the current view.

Rajat Gupta

Understood. Any preliminary color you can give us on 2027, puts and takes, any key moving pieces, either product-wise or regionally? Just given all the cross-currents in Europe and China, any initial color on just growth over market would be helpful. Maybe separating legacy Gentherm and Modine Performance would be helpful as well. Thanks.

Jon Douyard

I think on the legacy Gentherm business, we put out a $1.7 billion revenue number for 2027. We're still very confident in what that looks like, and I think it will be continued trends with what you're seeing, right? We've had a number of key launches. We talked about Puls.A entering the market today. We've got some medical launches and some favorability from the small acquisition we did there. The lumbar and massage products continue to operate well. I think on the Modine side, there's been some anticipation of power generation growth in that business and what they've been preparing for. We really started to see that pick up as well. So that'll be a nice addition. We're also seeing early signs of commercial vehicle recoveries through indications from our customers, so there are some nice tailwinds from that perspective.

Jon Douyard

Overall, from an automotive market standpoint, we're still not anticipating growth. We think as we look at the year, we've got a strong growth profile in what's overall a relatively flat market.

Rajat Gupta

And on the margin side, anything to call out there? Obviously, some of the inflation and recoveries are not entirely in our control, but just from a cost standpoint and footprint action benefit standpoint

Jon Douyard

Yeah. I think it

Rajat Gupta

Are those on track? Yeah.

Jon Douyard

Yeah, completely fair. I think, inflation, the recovery lag, that will continue. It appears like it will continue into 2027. We do see the benefit from footprint actions in the legacy Gentherm business, the benefit of that in 2027. So, we are largely through those actions here in the fourth quarter. So we would anticipate an increase from that perspective. And beyond that, we are really looking to Bill talked about some of the operational items that we are really driving the teams on, and we look to continue to see productivity and efficiency out of the business. The one other piece I would point to, Bill made the comment in his prepared remarks, is just on 80/20 mindset in general.

Jon Douyard

We are early stages within the Gentherm business, but we do have teams together who are mobilized on specifically looking for margin opportunities and efficiency to ultimately reallocate resources and drive growth in the company. We may see some of that benefit as we get into 2027 as well. A lot going on, but we think there's a lot of positive momentum in the company.

Rajat Gupta

Understood. Great. Thanks for all the color, and good luck.

Rajat Gupta

Thank you. Thanks, Bill.

Operator

Our next question is from Justin Ages with CJS Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Justin Ages

Hi. Morning, all.

Jon Douyard

Hey, Justin.

Justin Ages

As I look at comparison to last year, SG&A was up pretty significantly. I know you talked about some of the cost pressures, but maybe you could give us a little more detail on that, please.

Jon Douyard

Yeah. I think if you are looking at it, you have a couple of drivers in there. There is a lot of transaction-related costs. To the extent that you are looking at an adjusted number, you do have an increase related to the acquisition of IME. You will see some additional depreciation in there as well from some of the systems that we put in place. There has been an increase in personnel cost as well in the quarter. Those, I would say, are the big drivers.

Justin Ages

Okay. That is helpful. Thank you. You mentioned good outlook remains on home and office, getting to that $100 million business in 2028. Can you give us any more color on where the business sits today in terms of size?

Jon Douyard

Yeah. I would say based on awards to date with the OEMs, and it is a different model, obviously, than light vehicles, Justin, we have very strong visibility to $30 million in annualized revenue by 2028 with a pipeline that supports the $100 million target that we have been putting out there. I would say 12 months in, right? We started this venture in the middle of last year. The team has built a significant pipeline with significant engagement. As mentioned, we signed a differentiated commercial model with a component distributor during the quarter. That allows us to service smaller customers that we might not otherwise service just due to scale.

Justin Ages

That is helpful. All right. I appreciate the answers. Thank you.

Jon Douyard

Thanks, Justin.

Operator

Our next question is from Ryan Sigdahl with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please proceed with your question.

Ryan Sigdahl

Hey, good morning, Bill, Jon, Greg.

Jon Douyard

Hey, Ryan.

Ryan Sigdahl

Want to start with Jon, something you said of anticipation of some big things coming from power generation growth and preparing for that. Maybe more specifically, I know backup power and data centers, if that's what you're referring to, what you see in the pipeline is inside the data center an opportunity and then other industries.

Jon Douyard

Yeah. I think on the power generation side, a lot of what they're doing is supporting diesel generation, which is behind-the-meter power. A lot of that is going into the data center. The business has been building up a backlog associated with that now for a number of months, has been working on capacity, and that's really in place to execute at this point. I think when we look at opportunities inside the data center, Bill gave an example early on that could certainly be applied from an energy storage perspective or even a heat exchanger plate technology that could be inside the data center. I think as we look at the business, there continues to be a view of broad application of Modine's products outside of their traditional markets. We alluded to it in the call.

Jon Douyard

But even things like the medical industry and medical products have heat exchangers. If you look at what we're working with the team on now is things in industrial HVAC potentially, which is not a place they've played historically. There's really broad opportunities for their products, and we're going to take a pretty broad view on how we go after the markets there.

Ryan Sigdahl

Helpful. Light vehicle expectations have moved a little lower in Q3. Good to hear you guys reiterate higher end of guidance for legacy Gentherm, but maybe talk through end markets specifically where there is opportunity, where maybe there are changes in expectations from an industry standpoint.

Bill Presley

Yeah. I think, Ryan, as you said, the industry moved down. The demand for our products remains strong. It actually remains strong in all regions, so we do not see any regional dependency on the demand for our products. I would say China continues to be strong for us. Third quarter was the first quarter in the history of the company that our domestic sales outpaced our global sales. So we officially sold more to Chinese OEMs in China than we did to the global customers over there, which has been part of our strategy. So, we expect that to continue strong. We expect the automotive segment to continue to grow, and we see no weakness there from a demand standpoint.

Ryan Sigdahl

Great. Congrats on closing the merger and kudos on having the buyback in place to execute. Nice job, guys.

Bill Presley

Thanks, Ryan.

Operator

Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Our next question is from Nathan Jones with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Nathan Jones

Hey, guys. I'll do another couple. On the revenue synergy front, those are typically longer dated. It takes longer to get the awards. It takes longer to engineer the products. It takes longer for them to generate revenue. I know you talked about the one in India starting Q4 2027. When should we start to think about revenue synergy generation as a driver of growth? How do you see that progressing towards the longer term goal?

Bill Presley

Yeah, I think, Nathan, you're right. It's going to be very hockey stick, right? It's going to have a very pronounced tail end. So, I think appreciably, we'll start seeing some revenue flow through in 2029. We'll start seeing green shoots of that in 2028, but the bulk of that will hit in 2030. As you highlight, the win that we had in India really reinforced our thesis that having footprint and presence there would open up that market, and that's a market that we're excited about. I would say there's a very aggressive hunger between the teams working together on product development. You heard Jon allude to some of the things that they're working through that would put us together into markets that we're not in today separately.

Nathan Jones

The other one I wanted to ask about was the restructuring program, footprint consolidation stuff that you guys have been doing over the last year and a half. I think that was supposed to be complete by the end of 2026. Can you talk about is it on schedule and what the expected savings are in 2027? Thank you.

Bill Presley

Yeah. As you look at North America, we've largely consolidated our facilities in Mexico at this point, so there's some cleanup in the fourth quarter. When you look at our European footprint consolidation closing of the Czech Republic, that is on track to be completed this quarter as well. We should be relatively clean as we get into January of next year. We haven't put out a 2027 number necessarily. On that we did talk about it as being a key driver for us as we look to get back to the 15% margin in the legacy Gentherm business. We should see a step function change as we get into 2027.

Nathan Jones

Thanks for taking the questions.

Bill Presley

Thanks, Nathan.
