Overview

Gentherm Incorporated is a global market leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies. Our automotive products include Climate Control Seats (CCS®), Climate Control Interiors (CCI™), Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions, Valve Systems, and Climate and Comfort Electronics. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities. Our medical products include patient temperature management systems that can be found in hospitals throughout the world.

Our Automotive sales are driven by the number of light vehicles produced by the OEMs primarily in our key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and South Korea, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive light vehicles, our product content per vehicle, and other factors that may limit or otherwise impact production by us, our supply chain and our customers. Historically, new vehicle demand and product content (i.e. vehicle features) have been driven by macroeconomic and other factors, such as interest rates, automotive manufacturer and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends and government incentives. Vehicle content has also been driven by trends in consumer preferences. We believe our diversified OEM customer base and geographic revenue base, along with our flexible cost structure, have well positioned us to withstand the impact of industry downturns and benefit from industry upturns in the ordinary course. Our industry is increasingly

progressing towards a focus on human comfort, health and wellness, which is evidenced by increasing adoption rates for comfort products. Gentherm is an independent partner that can cooperate with any combination of the vehicle OEMs and seat manufacturers globally, to create innovative and unique configurations that adapt to industry trends.

IME Acquisition

On July 1, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Innovative Medical Equipment, LLC (“IME”). IME, headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio, is a provider of the ThermaZone® thermal therapy device. ThermaZone is a non-opioid thermal therapy solution designed to support pain management and recovery through controlled hot-and-cold therapy. The Company acquired all of the membership interests in IME for $34.0 million, net of cash and debt, and subject to customary adjustments related to IME’s net working capital as of the closing date. The purchase price may be increased after closing by up to $1.0 million upon the achievement of a specified performance milestone. The transaction was funded through a combination of the Company’s existing cash balances and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below.

Modine Transaction

On January 29, 2026, the Company, entered into definitive agreements to combine the Performance Technologies business (“Performance Technologies”) of Modine Manufacturing Company, a Wisconsin corporation (“Modine”), with Gentherm (the “Modine Transaction”). The Modine Transaction is structured as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, where a wholly owned subsidiary of Modine (“SpinCo”), owning Performance Technologies, will be spun off to Modine shareholders (the “Distribution”) and simultaneously merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The transaction was valued at approximately $1,000.0 million as of the date of signing, based on specified assumptions. Shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the Merger are expected to own approximately 60.0% of the combined company and Modine shareholders are expected to own approximately 40.0% of the combined company, on a fully diluted basis, without taking into account any overlapping shareholder ownership and subject to adjustment.

Prior to and as a condition of, the Distribution, Modine will receive a cash distribution from SpinCo of $210.0 million subject to adjustment for cash, working capital and indebtedness of SpinCo, and subject to decrease if additional shares of Common Stock will be issued to Modine shareholders to support the intended tax-free treatment of the Distribution to Modine shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “SpinCo Cash Distribution”).

The transaction is expected to close by early fourth quarter of 2026, subject to various closing conditions, including specified approvals by the Company’s shareholders, a customary IRS tax ruling and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The Merger Agreement contains specified termination rights for the Company and Modine, including a right allowing the Company or Modine to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to March 31, 2027 (which date may be extended to June 30, 2027 in the event that required regulatory approvals have not been received). Additionally, the Merger Agreement requires the Company to pay Modine a termination fee of $45.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company, SpinCo and a financial institution executed a 364-day bridge loan facility commitment letter, pursuant to which such financial institution committed (i) to provide bridge financing of $290.0 million to fund dividends, fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“Bridge Facility”) and (ii) to the Company a backstop of the Company’s credit agreement (“Backstop Commitment”).

On February 24, 2026, the Company amended its credit agreement to permit the Modine Transaction, which terminated the Backstop Commitment. On June 29, 2026, SpinCo replaced the Bridge Facility with permanent financing by entering into a credit agreement, providing for a delayed-draw term loan facility with aggregate commitments of up to $250.0 million (the "Senior Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are expected to be funded on the closing date of the Modine Transaction and used to fund the SpinCo Cash Distribution and to pay certain other amounts required under the Merger Agreement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $2.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of fees associated with the Bridge Facility, Backstop Commitment and Senior Credit Facility. Such fees are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Tariffs and Global Trade Environment

Since March 2025, the U.S. government has periodically announced additional significant tariffs on various goods imported to the U.S. and other countries have periodically announced reciprocal tariffs on goods imported to such countries, including goods used by or manufactured by us. There has been significant uncertainty resulting from the implementation, termination and/or conditional pause of these additional tariffs. In February 2026, the Supreme Court of the U.S. issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). During the second quarter of 2026, we submitted claims for refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid. Refunds received through June 30, 2026 were not material. The U.S. presidential administration subsequently invoked additional tariffs under other laws resulting in a rapidly changing tariff environment. At this time we cannot reasonably estimate the total financial impact of this ruling. Further, it is reasonably possible that new or additional tariffs will be periodically announced in the future given the current global trade environment. We continue to monitor and evaluate the direct and indirect impacts of these tariffs and heightened global trade disputes. Ou

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, our consolidated financial statements (and notes related thereto) and other more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. Further, you should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of this Annual Report.

Modine Transaction

On January 29, 2026, the Company entered into definitive agreements with Modine, SpinCo and Merger Sub with respect to a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, and pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of such definitive agreements, (i) Modine will transfer (or cause to be transferred) and SpinCo will accept and assume (or cause to be accepted and assumed) all of the rights, titles and interests to and under certain assets and liabilities relating to Performance Technologies, (ii) Modine will execute the Spin-Off and make the Distribution of SpinCo Common Stock to its shareholders and (iii) following the Distribution, Merger Sub will be merged with and into SpinCo. The Modine Transaction was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Modine and the Company.

Upon completion of the Merger, SpinCo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the Merger will own approximately 60.0% and former SpinCo shareholders as of the Distribution will own approximately 40.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

The definitive agreements entered into in connection with the Modine Transaction include (i) Merger Agreement, including the forms of specified ancillary agreements to be entered into as of closing, and (ii) the Separation Agreement.

Prior to and as a condition of, the Distribution, SpinCo will make a cash payment to Modine of $210 million (the “SpinCo Cash Distribution”), subject to adjustment for cash, working capital and indebtedness of SpinCo and subject to decrease if additional shares of Common Stock will be issued to Modine shareholders to support the intended tax-free treatment of the Distribution to Modine’s shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

On January 29, 2026, SpinCo and the Company executed a 364-day bridge loan facility commitment letter with a financial institution, pursuant to which such financial institution committed to provide up to $790 million in aggregate (collectively, the “Bridge Facilities”) to SpinCo and the Company. The commitment letter provides funding for the SpinCo Cash Distribution. The commitment

letter also provides funding to the Company to backstop capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) while the Company seeks lender consent for the Modine Transaction, to pay a special dividend to the Company’s shareholders, if necessary to support the intended tax-free treatment of the Distribution to Modine shareholders, and to pay fees and expenses of the Modine Transaction. The Bridge Facility is expected to be replaced with permanent financing. If the Modine Transaction is consummated, any indebtedness incurred by SpinCo under the Bridge Facility or the permanent financing will become indebtedness of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Modine Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to various closing conditions, including specified approvals by the Company’s shareholders, completion of financing for SpinCo, a customary IRS tax ruling, receipt of required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Tariffs and Global Trade Environment

Since March 2025, the U.S. government has periodically announced additional significant tariffs on various goods imported to the U.S. and other countries have periodically announced reciprocal tariffs on goods imported to such countries, including goods used by or manufactured by us. There has been significant uncertainty resulting from the implementation, termination and/or conditional pause of these additional tariffs, as well as related litigation challenging the legality of some tariffs. Further, it is reasonably possible that new or additional tariffs will be periodically announced in the future given the current global trade environment. We continue to monitor and evaluate the direct and indirect impacts of these tariffs and heightened global trade disputes. Our business model of regionally-focused manufacturing and delivery limits the global impact of certain trade restrictions and tariffs. Further, the majority of our supply components are not currently subject to the additional tariffs or are compliant with exceptions, and we believe that we can generally mitigate the direct impact of any such tariffs currently in effect by directly or indirectly passing the additional costs through to customers. We are taking and will continue to take additional actions to mitigate any direct and indirect impacts.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the additional tariffs did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. However, these matters are changing rapidly and there is significant uncertainty as to how long and to what degree that Gentherm and the automotive industry will be impacted by these or other additional tariffs, the adverse global trade environment and the resulting economic uncertainty.

Global Conditions

The global automotive light vehicle industry is impacted by a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions. At times in recent years, the global economy has experienced significant volatility, inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, which have a widespread adverse effect on the global automotive industry. These macroeconomic conditions have resulted in fluctuating demand and production disruptions, facility closures, labor shortages, work stoppages, and increased prices of inputs to our products. Although some supply chain conditions have steadily improved and certain inflationary pressures have moderated, rising costs of materials, labor, equipment and other inputs used to manufacture and sell our products, including freight and logistics costs, have impacted, and may in the future impact, operating costs and operating results. We continue to employ measures to mitigate the impact of cost increases through identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies where possible. However, we have been unable to fully mitigate or pass through the increases in our operating costs, which may continue in the future.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to the translation and remeasurement of the results of certain international operations into U.S. dollars as part of the consolidation process. Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can create volatility in the results of operations and may adversely affect our financial condition.

We have a global manufacturing footprint that enables us to serve our customers in the regions they operate and shift production between regions to remain competitive. There have been various ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such as the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and heightened tensions in the Red Sea and in the South China Sea. These conflicts have interrupted ocean freight shipping and if prolonged or intensified, could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial results. Further, it is reasonably possible that certain political pressures, such as changes to international trade agreements, increases in tariffs, import quotas or other trade restrictions or actions, including export controls and other retaliatory responses to such actions, could continue to affect the operations of our OEM customers, resulting in reduced automotive production in certain regions or shifts in the

mix of production to higher cost regions. See “—Tariffs and Global Trade Environment” above for further information on the impact of tariffs and the global trade environment in 2025. We, like other manufacturers, have a high proportion of fixed structural costs, and therefore relatively small changes in industry vehicle production can have a substantial effect on our financial results.

Light Vehicle Production Volumes

Our sales are driven by the number of vehicles produced by the automotive manufacturers, which is ultimately dependent on consumer demand for automotive vehicles, and our content per vehicle, and other factors that may limit or otherwise impact production by us, our supply chain and our customers. According to the forecasting firm S&P Global Mobility (February 2026 release), global light vehicle production in 2025 in the Company’s key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and South Korea, as compared to 2024, are shown below (in millions of units):
