NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

Garrett Motion Inc., (the “Company” or “Garrett”) designs, manufactures and sells highly engineered turbocharger and electric-boosting technologies for light and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the global vehicle independent aftermarket, as well as automotive software solutions. These OEMs in turn ship to consumers globally. We are a global technology leader with significant expertise in delivering products across gasoline, diesel, natural gas and electric (hybrid and fuel cell) power trains. These products are key enablers for fuel economy and emission standards compliance.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022 (our “2021 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year. All amounts presented are in millions, except per share amounts.

We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention: the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. For differences in actual closing dates that are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results have been adjusted for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.

We evaluate segment reporting in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We concluded that Garrett operates in a single operating segment and a single reportable segment based on the operating results available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is our Chief Executive Officer, to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM makes operational performance assessments and resource allocation decisions on a consolidated basis, inclusive of all of the Company’s products across channels and geographies.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including considerations for the impact of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business due to various global macroeconomic, operational and supply-chain risks as a result of COVID-19. Actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

On September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) were jointly administered under the caption “In re: Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.” On April 20, 2021, the Debtors filed the Revised Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order among other things, confirming the Plan. On April 30, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Company emerged from bankruptcy (“Emergence”).

Emergence from Chapter 11

Upon Emergence or shortly thereafter, amounts recorded as liabilities subject to compromise were either settled, or such amounts have been reinstated to current or non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet, based upon management’s judgment as to the timing for settlement of such claims.

Reorganization items, net represent amounts incurred after the Petition Date as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases and are comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in millions)
Gain on settlement of Honeywell claims(1)	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	(502)
Advisor fees	—		(8)		—		172
Bid termination and expense reimbursement	—		—		—		79

Debtor in Possession ("DIP") financing fees	—		—		—		1
Other	—		(1)		2		15
Total reorganization items, net	$	—	$	(9)	$	2	$	(130)

(1) The gain on settlement of Honeywell claims of $502 million is comprised of the pre-emergence Honeywell claims of $1,459 million, less the $375 million payment to Honeywell, less the Series B Preferred Stock issued to Honeywell which was recorded at $577 million, less a currency translation adjustment of $5 million.

(2) Includes $15 million in connection with a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court against the trustee of the indenture governing the Company's previously-issued 5.125% senior notes due 2026, and $13 million related to post-petition interest thereon. The obligations of the Debtors under the indenture were canceled at Emergence.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update ("ASU") 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The amendments in this update increase the transparency surrounding government assistance by requiring disclosure of 1) the types of assistance received, 2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and 3) the effect of the assistance on the entity’s financial statements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements; however, the Company expects to increase its disclosures with respect to government assistance beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Purchase Obligations. The amendment in this update requires companies to disclose key terms of supplier financing programs used in connection with the purchase of goods and services, along with information about their obligations under these programs including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective on a prospective basis for

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.

Note 4. Research, Development & Engineering

Garrett conducts research, development and engineering (“RD&E”) activities, which consist primarily of the development of new products and product applications. RD&E costs are charged to expense as incurred unless the Company has a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the customer. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross RD&E expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Such costs are included in Cost of goods sold as follows:

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related to lower nondeductible expenses in addition to a decrease in withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is higher than the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related to the nontaxable gain recognized in 2021 on the settlement of the Honeywell claims partially offset by nondeductible expenses recorded in the prior period and a decrease in withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a decrease in the withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax reserves, partially offset by lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings and the previously mentioned decrease in withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

The effective tax rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to changes in the Company’s global mix of earnings, the resolution of income tax audits, changes in tax laws (including updated guidance on U.S. tax reform), deductions related to employee share-based payments, internal restructurings, and pension mark-to-market adjustments.

Credit Facilities

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") providing for senior secured financing, consisting of a seven-year secured first-lien U.S. Dollar term loan facility initially in the amount of $715 million (the “Dollar Term Facility”), a seven-year secured first-lien Euro term loan facility initially in the amount of €450 million (the “Euro Term Facility,” and together with the Dollar Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”); and a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility initially in the amount of $300 million providing for multi-currency revolving loans, (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”). On January 11, 2022 and March 22, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement, increasing the maximum amount of borrowings available under the Revolving Facility from $300 million to approximately $475 million. The maturity date of the Revolving Facility remains unchanged at April 30, 2026, with certain extension rights at the discretion of each lender.

Under the first amendment, London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") was replaced as an available rate at which borrowings under the Revolving Facility could accrue with, for loans borrowed in U.S. Dollars, the daily overnight secured financing rate (“SOFR”) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and for loans borrowed in Australian Dollars, the average bid reference rate administered by ASX Benchmarks Pty Limited. The Term Loan Facilities under the Credit Agreement continue to be able to accrue interest under the LIBOR, but will switch to an alternative benchmark rate upon the cessation of LIBOR after June 30, 2023. The Euro Facilities under the Credit Agreement continue to accrue interest under the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”).

The second amendment also removed the requirement that payments made in cash for the benefit of holders of shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") on or before December 31, 2022 be made on a ratable basis to the holders of the Common Stock, and made additional clarifying amendments to certain provisions.

The amendments to our Credit Agreement as described above were accounted under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments as a debt modification that did not result in an extinguishment or have a material impact on our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Under the Revolving Facility, the Company may use up to $125 million for the issuance of letters of credit to the Swiss Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Letters of credit are available for issuance under the Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind, which issuances reduce availability under the Revolving Facility. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had no loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility, no outstanding letters of credit, and available borrowing capacity of approximately $475 million.

Separate from the Revolving Facility, the Company has a bilateral letter of credit facility, which also matures on April 30, 2026. On September 14, 2022, the Company amended the bilateral letter of credit agreement to reduce the available capacity from $35 million to $15 million. The maturity date and other terms of the amended agreement remained the same. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $12 million utilized and $3 million of remaining available capacity under such facility.

Interest Rate and Fees

The Dollar Term Facility is subject to an interest rate, at our option, of either (a) an alternate base rate (“ABR”) (which shall not be less than 1.50%) or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which shall not be less than 0.50%), in

each case, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of ABR loans. The Euro Term Facility is subject to an interest rate equal to an adjusted EURIBOR rate (which shall not be less than zero) plus an applicable margin equal to 3.50%. Interest payments with respect to the Dollar and Euro Term Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for ABR loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR and EURIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months.

The Revolving Facility is subject to an interest rate comprised of an applicable benchmark rate as provided under the Credit Agreement (which shall not be less than 1.00% if such benchmark is the ABR rate and not less than 0.00% in the case of other applicable benchmark rates) that is selected based on the currency in which borrowings are outstanding thereunder, in each case, plus an applicable margin, that may vary based on our leverage ratio.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility, we are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during such quarter, which is determined by our leverage ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum.

Prepayments

The Credit Agreement also contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions in the event that we incur certain types of indebtedness, receive net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property or, starting with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022, have excess cash flow (calculated on an annual basis with the required prepayment equal to 50%, 25% or 0% of such excess cash flow, subject to compliance with certain leverage ratios), in each case subject to terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind.

Certain Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type. The Revolving Facility also contains a financial covenant requiring the maintenance of a consolidated total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.7 times as of the end of each fiscal quarter if, on the last day of any such fiscal quarter, the aggregate amount of loans and letters of credit (excluding backstopped or cash collateralized letters of credit and other letters of credit with an aggregate face amount not exceeding $30 million) outstanding under the Revolving Facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate commitments in effect thereunder on such date.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Credit Agreement also contained certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends on or to redeem or otherwise acquire for cash the Series A Preferred Stock unless a ratable payment (on an as-converted basis) was made to holders of our common equity and such payments would otherwise be permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement. These restrictions were removed as part of the credit amendments noted above.

The Company's ability to pay cash dividends on shares of Common Stock is also subject to conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Certificate of Designations") as described in Note 21, Equity, of the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Form 10-K. On March 3, 2022, the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations were further amended to (i) expand the scope of permitted Distributions on Dividend Junior Stock (each as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) to include purchases by the Company of shares of Dividend Junior Stock in individually negotiated transactions, (ii) remove the requirement that dividends or Distributions on Dividend Junior Stock must occur on or prior to December 31, 2022, and (iii) expressly permit the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for cash by the Company of shares of Dividend Junior Stock without requiring ratable participation by holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

Note 14. Series A Preferred Stock

On September 8, 2022, the Disinterested Directors Committee of the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per share on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. As of the record date of September 23, 2022, a total of 245,413,317 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding, resulting in an aggregate dividend amount of $42 million. Cash was transferred on September 28, 2022, to the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $42 million for the settlement of the dividend which occurred on October 3, 2022. As of September 30,

2022, a dividend payable of $42 million was recorded within Accrued liabilities, and the cash held by the transfer agent was recorded within Other Current Assets.

As of September 30, 2022, the remaining unpaid cumulative dividends not yet declared on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of that date was $172 million.

Note 15. Mandatorily Redeemable Series B Preferred Stock

On June 28, 2022, the Company completed the early redemption of its remaining outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. Under this final early redemption, the Company redeemed 271,628,259 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate price of $212 million. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5 million within the Condensed Interim Statement of Operations related to the early redemption.

Note 16. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

Our credit, market and foreign currency risk management policies are described in Note 19, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had contracts with aggregate gross notional amounts of $2,451 million and $2,788 million, respectively, to hedge interest rates and foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, Swiss Franc, British Pound, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, New Romanian Leu, Czech Koruna, Australian Dollar and Korean Won.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB’s accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


					Fair Value
	Notional Amounts				Assets					Liabilities
	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021			September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

(a) Recorded within Other current assets

(b) Recorded within Other assets

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of €830 million, with maturities of April 2023, April 2024, April 2025, April 2026 and April 2027. The Company uses interest rate swaps specifically to mitigate variable interest risk exposure on its long-term debt portfolio and has not designated them as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

The cross-currency swaps have been designated as net investment hedges of its Euro-denominated operations. As of September 30, 2022, an aggregate notional amount of €606 million was designated as net investment hedges of the Company’s investment in Euro-denominated operations. The cross-currency swaps’ fair values were net assets of $131 million at September 30, 2022. Our Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income include Changes in fair value of net investment hedges, net of tax, of $45 million and $87 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, related to these net investment hedges. No ineffectiveness has been recorded on the net investment hedges.

The Company's forward currency exchange contracts under our cash flow hedging program are assessed as highly effective and are designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings.

The foreign currency exchange, interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts are valued using market observable inputs. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. The assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the cross-currency swap are considered Level 2 inputs, which are based upon market-observable interest rate curves, cross-currency basis curves, credit default swap curves, and foreign exchange rates.

The carrying value of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, Account receivables and Notes and Other receivables contained in the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet approximates fair value.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were not carried at fair value:


	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(Dollars in millions)
Term Loan Facilities	$	1,115	$	1,071	$	1,188	$	1,227

The Company determined the fair value of certain of its long-term debt and related current maturities utilizing transactions in the listed markets for similar liabilities. As such, the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities is considered Level 2.

Note 18. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method pursuant to the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock on the Effective Date. Our Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security because holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will also be entitled to such dividends paid to holders of Common Stock to the same extent on an as-converted basis. The two-class method requires an allocation of earnings to all securities that participate in dividends with common shares, such as our Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that each security may share in the entity’s earnings. Basic earnings per share are then calculated by dividing undistributed earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Series A Preferred Stock is not included in the computation of basic earnings per share in periods in which we have a net loss, as the Series A Preferred Stock is not contractually obligated to share in our net losses.

Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class or if-converted methods. The two-class method uses net income available to common shareholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The if-converted method uses net income and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. As previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 have been restated in the table below as compared to the previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the corresponding period to correct for the calculation using the two-class and if-converted methods.

The details of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Securities Litigation

On September 25, 2020, a putative securities class action complaint was filed against Garrett Motion Inc. and certain current and former Garrett officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case bears the caption: Steven Husson, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Garrett Motion Inc., Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-07992-JPC (SDNY) (the “Husson Action”). The Husson Action asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for securities fraud and control person liability. On September 28, 2020, the plaintiff sought to voluntarily dismiss his claim against Garrett Motion Inc. in light of the Company’s bankruptcy; this request was granted.

On October 5, 2020, another putative securities class action complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. This case bears the caption: The Gabelli Asset Fund, The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Value 25 Fund Inc., The Gabelli Equity Trust Inc., SM Investors LP and SM Investors II LP, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, v. Su Ping Lu, Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, Craig Balis, Thierry Mabru, Russell James, Carlos M. Cardoso, Maura J. Clark, Courtney M. Enghauser, Susan L. Main, Carsten Reinhardt, and Scott A. Tozier, Case No. 1:20-cv-08296-JPC (SDNY) (the “Gabelli Action”). The Gabelli Action also asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

On November 5, 2020, another putative securities class action complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. This case bears the caption: Joseph Froehlich, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Olivier Rabiller, Allesandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-09279-JPC (SDNY) (the “Froehlich Action”). The Froehlich Action also asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

The actions were assigned to Judge John P. Cronan. On November 24, 2020, competing motions were filed seeking the appointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel and the consolidation of the Husson, Gabelli, and Froehlich Actions.

On December 8, 2020, counsel for the plaintiffs in the Gabelli Action — the Entwistle & Cappucci law firm — filed an unopposed stipulation and proposed order that would (1) appoint the plaintiffs in the Gabelli Action — the “Gabelli Entities” — the lead plaintiffs; (2) would appoint Entwistle & Cappucci as lead counsel for the plaintiff class; and (3) consolidate the Gabelli Action, the Husson Action, and the Froehlich Action (the “Consolidated D&O Action”). On January 21, 2021, the Court granted the motion to consolidate the actions and granted the Gabelli Entities’ motions for appointment as lead plaintiff and for selection of lead counsel. On February 25, 2021, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint.

The Company’s insurer, AIG, has accepted the defense, subject to the customary reservation of rights.

The Company agreed with the Gabelli Entities and their lead counsel to permit a class claim to be recognized in the bankruptcy court and to have securities claims against the Company to be litigated in the district court alongside the Consolidated D&O Action. The Gabelli Entities have agreed that any recoveries against Garrett Motion Inc. on account of securities claims litigated through the class claim are limited to available insurance policy proceeds. On July 2, 2021, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving the joint request from the Company and the Gabelli Entities to handle the securities claims against Garrett Motion Inc. in this manner.

The Gabelli Entities were authorized, and on July 22, 2021 filed a second amended complaint to add claims against Garrett Motion Inc. On August 11, 2021, Garrett Motion Inc., Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, Russell James, Carlos Cardoso, Maura Clark, Courtney Enghauser, Susan Main, Carsten Reinhardt, and Scott

Tozier filed a motion to dismiss with respect to claims asserted against them. On the same day, Su Ping Lu, who is represented separately, filed a motion to dismiss with respect to the claims asserted against her. Lead plaintiffs’ opposition to the motions to dismiss was filed on October 26, 2021, and the defendant's reply briefs were filed on or before December 8, 2021. On March 31, 2022, the judge dismissed the complaints entirely - Su Ping Lu's motion to dismiss was granted with prejudice while the court granted the plaintiffs 30 days to file a third amended complaint against the Company and the other defendants.

On May 2, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”) against all of the foregoing Defendants apart from Alessandro Gili and Su Ping Lu. On June 24, 2022, defendants moved to dismiss the TAC in its entirety, with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed their opposition on August 16, 2022, and defendants filed their reply brief on September 23, 2022. On September 22, 2022, the action was reassigned from Judge John P. Cronan to Judge Jennifer L. Rochon, who was recently appointed.

Brazilian Tax Matter

In September 2020, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an infraction notice against Garrett Motion Industria Automotiva Brasil Ltda, challenging the use of certain tax credits (“Befiex Credits”) between January 2017 and February 2020. The infraction notice results in a loss contingency that may or may not ultimately be incurred by the Company. The estimated total amount of the contingency as of September 30, 2022 was $31 million, including penalties and interest. The Company appealed the infraction notice on October 23, 2020. In March 2021, in response to our request, the Brazilian Tax Authorities reconsidered their position for a portion of the $31 million mentioned above and allowed Garrett Motion Brazil the right to offset Federal Tax with the Befiex Credits. The letter does not qualify as a formal decision and requires formal recognition from the Judge and from the Federal Judgement Office in charge of the disputes. In August 2021, the $31 million claim was however suspended until Garrett Motion Brazil receives a final judicial decision. The Company believes, based on management’s assessment and the advice of external legal counsel, that it has meritorious arguments in connection with the infraction notice and any liability for the infraction notice is currently not probable. Accordingly, no accrual is required at this time.

Warranties and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties and product performance guarantees. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties and performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical experience at the time of sale to the customer. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes to the obligations become reasonably estimable. Product warranties and product performance guarantees are included in Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities. The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded obligations for product warranties and product performance guarantees.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to other lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual property and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurring and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

Note 21. Pension Benefits

We sponsor several funded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Significant plans outside the U.S. are in Switzerland and Ireland. Other pension plans outside the U.S. are not material to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate.

Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. We are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. pension plan in 2022. We expect to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $7 million to our non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards in 2022, of which $5 million has been contributed as of September 30, 2022.

Net periodic benefit costs for our significant defined benefit plans include the following components:


	Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
	U.S. Plans				Non-U.S. Plan				U.S. Plans				Non-U.S. Plan
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in millions)

	$	(1)	$	(2)	$	—	$	1	$	(1)	$	(4)	$	1	$	3

For both our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, we estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit (income) cost by utilizing a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these cost components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the pension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows. This approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows and their corresponding spot rates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, which we refer to as our “MD&A,” should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022 (our “2021 Form 10-K”). Some of the information contained in this MD&A or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2021 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in, or implied, by these forward-looking statements.

The following MD&A is intended to help you understand the results of operations and financial condition of Garrett Motion Inc., for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Executive Summary

Our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $945 million, representing an increase of $106 million or 13% (including an unfavorable impact of $105 million or 12% due to foreign currency translation) compared to the prior year. The increase in our sales, net of the impacts of foreign currency translation, was driven by higher volumes as markets partially recover from the semiconductor shortages in the prior year, and successful inflation pass through to customers net of pricing across all product lines. We also saw new product launches on gasoline and continued ramp up on programs in commercial vehicles.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our light vehicle product sales (which comprise diesel and gasoline products, including products for passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, and other products) accounted for approximately 68% of our revenues. Commercial vehicle product sales (products for on- and off-highway trucks, construction, agriculture and power-generation machines) accounted for 19% of our revenues. Our OEM sales contributed approximately 87% of our revenues while our aftermarket and other products contributed 13% of our revenues. Approximately 45% of our revenues came from sales to customers located in Europe, 33% from sales to customers located in Asia, 20% from sales to customers in North America, and 2% from sales to customers in other international markets.

On September 8, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per share on its Series A Preferred Stock, payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 23, 2022. On September 28, 2022, the Company transferred the aggregate dividend amount of $42 million to the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, for the settlement of the dividend to the shareholders of record, which occurred on October 3, 2022.

Macroeconomic disruptions

The automotive industry continues to be impacted by uncertainty due to worldwide semiconductor shortages, the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental responses to the pandemic including the lockdown measures in China, and geopolitical tensions in particular from the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The semiconductor shortage is expected to continue into 2023 although to a lesser extent compared to the previous year, and production levels may be reduced further should COVID-related lockdown measures persist or extend. The evolution of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the consequent energy shortage in Europe, especially during the winter season, may further expose supply related challenges for the automotive industry while adding inflationary pressure and triggering recessionary scenarios. The Company continues to review production levels at OEM plants and closely monitor supply-chain disruptions related to logistics and component shortages in order to minimize the impact of the bottleneck in supply and mitigate any potential disruption in production. Additionally, we implemented new procedures in 2021 for the monitoring of supplier risks and we believe we have substantially addressed such risks with manageable economic impacts including use of premium freight or adjusted payment terms that are limited in time. However, it is possible that additional supply chain constraints may appear for the industry as the global supply chain restarts. Finally, we have prepared contingency plans for multiple scenarios that we believe will allow us to react swiftly to changes in customer demand while protecting Garrett’s long-term growth potential.

Trends

The turbocharger industry is expected to increase from approximately 45 million units in 2022 to approximately 46 million units by 2026, according to IHS for light vehicles and Knibb, Gormezano and Partners ("KGP") for commercial vehicles on-highway and off-highway. The turbocharger industry growth is mainly driven by an expected increase in the

penetration of hybrid vehicles, from 14 million hybrid cars globally in 2022 to an anticipated 29 million hybrid cars globally in 2026.

In the short to medium term, we continue to believe that turbocharger demand will grow as turbochargers remain one of the most cost-efficient levers to improve the fuel efficiency of conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles as well as hybrid vehicles. In addition, fuel cell vehicles also require a high-performance electric boosting system. In the commercial vehicle industry, we expect a slower transition to battery electric vehicles ("BEV"), due to specific mission profile and associated range and charging time constraints, which translates into more resilient turbocharger demand, as most on-highway commercial vehicles are turbocharged. In addition, low or zero emission alternative fuels for internal combustion engines ("ICE"), like natural gas or hydrogen, are expected to gain momentum in coming years, supporting continued turbocharger demand. We expect growth in the turbocharger industry in all regions, with special mention for high-growth regions in Asia, where rising income levels continue to drive long-term automotive and vehicle component demand. While these positive factors do not isolate the turbocharger industry from fluctuations in global vehicle production volumes, such factors may mitigate the negative impact of macroeconomic cycles.

The global turbocharger industry is traditionally subject to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. Given the recent macroeconomic disruptions including the geopolitical tensions from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, we expect to see continued commodity cost volatility which could have an impact on future earnings. Accordingly, we continue to seek to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures by negotiating commodity cost contract escalation or pass-through agreements with customers and cost reductions with suppliers. Our sales predictability in the short term might also be impacted by sudden changes in customer demand, driven by our OEM customers’ supply-chain management.

The following tables show our revenues by geographic region and product line for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

% change compared with prior period	12.6		%			(2.4)		%

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net sales increased compared to prior year by $106 million or 13%, including an unfavorable impact of $105 million or 12% due to foreign currency translation driven by lower Euro-to-US dollar exchange rates. This increase is driven by higher volumes as markets recover from the semiconductor shortages experienced in the prior year, and $43 million of inflation recoveries net of pricing across all product lines.

Gasoline product sales increased by $69 million or 21% (including an unfavorable impact of $42 million or 13% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by favorable impacts from new product launches in North America which delivered incremental sales year over year, and market recovery in Europe and North America from the prior year's semiconductor shortages.

Diesel product sales increased by $13 million or 6% (including an unfavorable impact of $35 million or 15% due to foreign currency translation). This increase was mainly due to a market recovery in Europe, following the semiconductor shortages faced in the prior year.

Commercial vehicle sales increased by $16 million or 10% (including an unfavorable impact of $17 million or 10% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by strong demand in Europe, Japan and North America in a less disruptive environment for both on and off-highway combined with ramp up to peak volumes of new program while facing headwind in China due to lower local demand, following the implementation of heightened China 6a emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks on July 1, 2021.

Aftermarket sales improved by $8 million or 7% (including an unfavorable impact of $9 million or 9% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to strong demand in North America and Europe related to favorable aftermarket conditions such as increased off-highway demand for new and service parts, as well as growth through new product introductions, favorable pricing impacts and improved shipment performance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net sales decreased compared to prior year by $66 million or 2%. This decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable impact of $215 million or 7% due to foreign currency translation driven by a lower Euro-to-US dollar exchange rate, and overall lower volumes for the year. These decreases were partially offset by $101 million of improved mix and $69 million of inflation recoveries net of pricing across all product lines.

Gasoline product sales increased by $43 million or 4% (including an unfavorable impact of $80 million or 8% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by new product launches in North America which delivered incremental sales year over year, partially offset by lower Euro-to-dollar exchange rates and lower sales in China due to the increased COVID-related lockdown measures implemented by the Chinese government in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Diesel product sales decreased by $94 million or 11% (including an unfavorable impact of $77 million or 9% due to foreign currency translation). This decrease was mainly due to the global semiconductor shortage and other supply shortage at customers due to the ongoing geopolitical crisis and pandemic related disruptions, accentuated by the impact of higher sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to recovery in customer demand following pandemic-related disruptions in 2020.

Commercial vehicle sales decreased by $39 million or 7% (including an unfavorable impact of $35 million or 6% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by low demand in China in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, after a strong pre-buy effect in the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially compensated by strong demand in the rest of the world despite a complex supply environment and new launches ramping up.

Aftermarket sales improved by $28 million or 9% (including an unfavorable impact of $18 million or 6% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to strong demand in North America and Europe related to favorable aftermarket conditions such as increased off-highway demand for new and service parts, increased revenues from our Performance and Motorsport Turbo business, new distributor openings, as well as growth through new product introductions and favorable pricing impacts.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, cost of goods sold increased by $91 million, primarily driven by our higher sales volumes and an unfavorable product mix, which contributed to increases of $84 million and $34 million, respectively. Cost of goods sold further increased due to $52 million of inflation on commodities, transportation and energy costs, as well as $7 million increase in Research and development ("R&D") costs which reflects our shift in investment in new technologies and headcount increase year-over-year. Our continued focus on productivity contributed to a decrease in

cost of goods sold of $14 million, net of $1 million of higher premium freight costs driven by supply chain disruptions, transportation constraints and volume volatility. Foreign currency impacts also contributed to decreases of $72 million.

Gross profit increased by $15 million, mainly driven by the higher sales volumes of $37 million and $43 million of inflation recoveries from customer pass-through agreements net of pricing reductions. Furthermore, gross profit increased $22 million from higher productivity and $6 million of favorable product mix. These increases were partially offset by $52 million inflation on commodities, transportation and energy costs, as well as higher premium freight costs, as discussed above, and $7 million of higher R&D costs.

For nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of goods sold decreased by $36 million, primarily driven by our lower sales volumes and foreign currency impacts which contributed to decreases of $23 million and $150 million, respectively. Our continued focus on productivity also contributed to a decrease in cost of goods sold of $60 million, net of $8 million of higher premium freight costs driven by supply chain disruptions, transportation constraints and volume volatility. These decreases were partially offset by $101 million of inflation on commodities, transportation and energy costs, as well as $81 million due to an unfavorable product mix. R&D expenses also increased by $15 million which reflects our shift in investment in new technologies and headcount increase year-over-year.

Gross profit decreased by $30 million, mainly driven by the lower sales volumes, inflation on commodities, transportation and energy costs, as well as higher premium freight costs as discussed above. Higher R&D costs and $64 million of unfavorable foreign currency translational, transactional and hedging effects also reduced our gross profit. These decreases were partially offset by $71 million of higher productivity and $69 million of inflation recoveries from customer pass-through agreements net of pricing reductions.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $3 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $6 million of favorable impacts from foreign exchange rates and $3 million of lower professional services costs, partially offset by $4 million of increased bad debt expense and $1 million of higher travel expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, SG&A decreased by $2 million versus the prior year. This decrease was driven by $13 million benefit from favorable foreign exchange rates compared to the prior year and $7 million of lower employee-related costs which reflect not only lower expected employee incentive payout, but also $2 million of one-time cash continuity awards that were recognized in 2021. These decreases were partially offset by $6 million of higher professional services costs, $3 million from increased travel expenses and $9 million of higher bad debt expenses due primarily to a non-recurring bad debt recovery recognized during the first quarter of 2021.
