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") is a cutting-edge technology leader delivering differentiated solutions for emission reduction and energy efficiency. We design, manufacture, and sell highly engineered turbocharging, air and fluid compression, and high-speed electric motor technologies to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and distributors within the mobility and industrial space. We have significant expertise in delivering products at scale for internal combustion engines using gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and hydrogen, as well as for zero emission technologies using hydrogen fuel cell systems, both for mobility and industrial use. As our customers continue to progress on electrification, we are applying our technological pillars to develop highly engineered E-Powertrain and E-Cooling compressor products to support their ambition. These products are key enablers for fuel economy, energy efficiency, thermal management, and compliance with emissions standards and overall greenhouse gas and other emission reduction targets.
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, 2023included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2024 (our "2023 Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2024and cash flows for the sixmonths ended June 30, 2024 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, such differences have been adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, 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. Actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.
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, 2023 included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
7
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update require companies with a single reportable segment to provide all existing segment disclosures, as well as requires incremental segment information to be disclosed. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 on a retrospective basis, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update increase the transparency around income tax information through improvements to disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.
There are no other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting pronouncements which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Note 4. Research, Development and 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:

(1) Engineering-related expenses include customer reimbursements of $16 million and $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $24 million and $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Certain engineering expenses related to long-term supply arrangements are capitalized when defined criteria, such as the existence of a contractual guarantee for reimbursement, are met. As of June 30, 2024and December 31, 2023, $22 millionand $12 million, respectively, of such contractually reimbursable costs were capitalized. These amounts are recorded within Other current assets in the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet.

Tax expense $ 23 $ 30 $ 38 $ 57
Effective tax rate 26.4 % 29.7 % 22.6 % 27.3 %
The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024and 2023were 26.4%and 29.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024and 2023were 22.6%and 27.3%, respectively.
The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024compared to the prior period is primarily related to lower U.S. taxes on international operations and lower non-deductible transaction costs, partially offset by tax related to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.
The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior period is primarily related to reversal of tax reserves, lower U.S. taxes on international operations, and lower non-deductible transaction costs, partially offset by tax related to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because of U.S. taxes on international operations, withholding taxes, and tax related to sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, partially offset by lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings, and global research and development benefits.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because of U.S. taxes on international operations, withholding taxes, and tax related to sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, partially offset by reversals of tax reserves, lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings, and global research and development benefits.

Note 14. Long-term Debt and Credit Agreements
Long Term Debt
Senior Notes
On May 21, 2024, Garrett Motion Holdings Inc. and Garrett LX I S.à.r.l. (the "Issuers"), wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, completed an offering of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Senior Notes"). The 2032 Senior Notes mature on May 31, 2032. The Company incurred $12 million of debt issuance costs, which have been capitalized and will be amortized on a straight-line basis.
The 2032 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the existing Credit Agreement (as defined below), subject to certain exceptions. The proceeds from the sale of the 2032 Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to repay approximately $800 million of term loan indebtedness, as described below, and to pay related fees and expenses.
Term Loans
On April 30, 2021,the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement")with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provided for the following long-term senior secured financing (collectively, the "Term Loan Facilities"):
2021 Dollar Term Facility: a seven-year secured first-lien U.S. Dollar term loan facility for $715 million;
2023 Dollar Term Facility: a five-year secured first-lien U.S. Dollar term loan facility for $500 million; and
Euro Term Facility: a seven-year secured first-lien Euro term loan facility for €450 million.
In the three months ended June 30, 2024, we made early debt repayments totaling $985 million on our Euro Term Facility and our 2023 Dollar Term Facility. Both term loans were fully repaid as of June 30, 2024. The early repayments resulted in incremental amortization of debt issuance costs of $27 million, included within Interest expense in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations.
On May 21, 2024, in addition to the above transactions, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Fourth Amendment") and Amendment No. 5 (the "Fifth Amendment" and, together with the Fourth Amendment, the "Amendments") to the Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendments, the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Fourth Amendment (i) removed the credit spread adjustment with respect to certain US dollar denominated term loan borrowings that are Term Benchmark Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and (ii) reduced the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) on certain US dollar denominated term loans to 2.75% for Term Benchmark Loans and 1.75% for ABR Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
The Fifth Amendment increased the amount of revolving loan commitments available to the Company under the Credit Agreement by $30 million ("Incremental Revolving Commitment") to an aggregate amount of $600 million, as discussed below. The Incremental Revolving Commitment has the same terms and is subject to the same conditions applicable to revolving loans generally under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The principal outstanding and carrying amounts of our long-term debt as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Revolving Facility and Letters of Credit
The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for a senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility providing for multi-currency revolving loans (the "Revolving Facility"). The Revolving Facility matures on April 30, 2028 and has a maximum borrowing amount available of $600 million.
Under the Revolving Facility, the Company may use up to $125 million for the issuance of letters of credit to its subsidiaries. Letters of credit are available for issuance under the Amended Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind, which issuances reduce availability under the Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility, no outstanding letters of credit, and available borrowing capacity of $600 million.
Separate from the Revolving Facility, the Company has a bilateral letter of credit facility in the amount of $15 million, which matures on April 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $12 million utilized and $3 million of remaining available capacity under such facility.
Minimum scheduled principal repayments of long-term debt as of June 30, 2024 are as follow:

Interest Rates and Fees
The 2032 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.75% per annum. Interest on the 2032 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 31 and November 30 of each year, commencing on November 30, 2024.
The 2021 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 SOFR rate ("SOFR") (which shall not be less than 0.50%), in each case, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.75% in the case of SOFR loans and 1.75% in the case of ABR loans.
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.
15
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.
Certain Covenants
2032 Senior Notes
The 2032 Senior Notes contain certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional debt, incur certain liens securing debt, pay certain dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, make certain asset sales, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in the 2032 Senior Notes indenture. Additionally, the indenture contains certain change of control provisions that, under certain conditions, would require the Company to make an offer to repurchase all of the outstanding 2032 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture also contains customary events of default.
Term Loans
The Amended 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 June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2032 Senior Notes indenture and Amended Credit Agreement.
Note 15. Equity
Preferred Stock
On April 12, 2023, the Company entered into separate definitive agreements with each of Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. to effect a series of integrated transactions (collectively, the "Transaction") designed to increase the attractiveness of the Company to investors, including by simplifying the Company's capital structure by converting all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into a single class of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions.
On June 6, 2023, the Company completed all steps of the Transaction and had no remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of that date. Please refer to Note 21, Equity, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock represents shares of the Company's Common Stock that have been issued and subsequently repurchased by the Company or withheld to satisfy withholding tax obligations in connection with equity award vestings, and that have not been retired or cancelled. The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of Equity (Deficit) on the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet. The Company accounts for the reissuance of treasury stock using the average cost method. The Company did not reissue or retire any shares of treasury stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 12, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a $350 million share repurchase program valid until December 31, 2024. The Company may repurchase shares from time to time under the program through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, and otherwise. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will depend on a variety of factors. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $174
16
million of Common Stock, and had $176 million remaining under the share repurchase program. The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock.
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, 2023 included in our 2023 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had contracts with aggregate gross notional amounts of $1,165 million and $1,171 million, respectively, to hedge 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Cash Flow Hedges
During 2023, the Company entered into float-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $200 million and maturities in July 2024 and October 2024. The Company also entered into a float-to-fixed cross-currency swap contract comprised of an amortizing swap with an aggregate notional amount of €280 million ($300 million) and notional exchanges in June 2026, June 2027, and June 2028. The interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts were early settled in 2024, resulting in net gains of $18 million recorded to Interest expense and a $4 million loss recorded to Non-operating expense in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations.
The Company also has outstanding forward currency exchange contracts with maturities up to 18 months and an aggregate notional amount of $392 million and $456 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These forward currency exchange contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate foreign currency
17
exposures primarily on our inventory purchases and manufacturing costs. The gains and losses on the forward currency exchange contracts are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and reclassified to Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations when the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings.
In order to mitigate foreign currency risk on its 2032 Senior Notes, the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of €507 million ($550 million) and notional exchanges in May 2027, May 2028, May 2029, and May 2030. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts are recognized in AOCI and reclassified to Non-operating (income) expense in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations, based upon changes in the spot rate remeasurement of the underlying debt. The net interest settlements on the cross-currency swap contracts are recorded in Interest expense in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.
All of the Company's cash flow hedges are assessed as highly effective. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $2 million, net of tax, and a gain of $2 million, net of tax, respectively, in Other comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $1 million, net of tax, and a loss of $1 million, net of tax, respectively, in Other comprehensive income.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company has designated float-to-float cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts of €858 million ($965 million) and €615 million ($715 million) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as net investment hedges of its Euro-denominated operations. In April 2024, the Company re-couponed the cross-currency swap contracts which have been designated as net investment hedges and received a cash settlement of $13 million. The fair values of the net investment hedges were netassets of $57 million and $37 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income include Changes in fair value of net investment hedges, net of tax, of a$8 million gain and a $3 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and of a $27 million gain and a $2 million loss for the sixmonths ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No ineffectiveness has been recorded on the net investment hedges.
Non-Designated Derivatives
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has outstanding float-to-fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of €450 million ($481 million) and €830 million ($917 million), respectively, and maturities of July 2024, October 2024, April 2025, April 2026, April 2027, and April 2028. Changes in the fair value of the undesignated interest rate swap contracts are recorded in Interest expense in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.
The Company also has outstanding forward currency exchange contracts with maturities generally up to 3 months and an aggregate notional amount of $773 million and $715 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments and are adjusted to fair value through Non-operating (income) expense in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.
Fair Value Measurement
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:

Note 18. Earnings Per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, basic earnings per share was calculated using the two-class method because our Series A Preferred Stock was considered a participating security prior to its conversion into Common Stock and cancellation pursuant to the Transaction. The two-class method requires an allocation of earnings to all securities that participate in dividends with common shares, which included our Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that each such 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.
Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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.
The details of the EPS calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies
Securities Litigation
In 2020, various securities class action complaints were 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 asserting claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for alleged securities fraud and control person liability. In March 2022, the trial court dismissed with prejudice the claims against certain of the defendants, and in March 2023, the trial court dismissed with prejudice all remaining claims. In April 2023, the plaintiffs appealed the trial court's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In April 2024, the Second Circuit affirmed dismissal of the claims, and the deadline for further appeals has passed.
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 June 30, 2024 was $36 million, including penalties and interest. 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
21
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 20. 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 2024. 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 2024, of which $3 million has been contributed as of June 30, 2024.
Net periodic benefit costs for our significant defined benefit plans include the following components:

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.

Note 21. Acquisitions and Divestitures
On April 3, 2024, the Company divested its equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture for approximately $58 million, subject to customary debt and working capital adjustments. We received cash consideration on the divestiture date of $46 million, with an additional $7 million to be received in two equal installments due twelve months and thirty-six months from the divestiture date. A pre-tax gain of $27 million was recognized related to this divestiture, including $5 million of cumulative translation losses reclassified from AOCI to Net income. Transaction fees of $1 million were incurred in connection with the divestiture and are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations.

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, 2023, included in our 2023 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 various risks and uncertainties. Please refer to the "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024.
Executive Summary
During the second quarter of 2024, the industry was impacted by challenging regional dynamics associated with some weak end markets. In response, we flexed our variable cost structure to successfully achieve efficiencies on productivity and drive operational performance. Our agility enabled us to achieve Net income of $64 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $150 million for the quarter.
We continue to have success across our turbocharging, hybrid and zero emission technology applications. In particular, during the quarter, we had an industrial win in power generation with our large size turbo. We also had our first awards for commercial vehicles with three proof of concept wins for our E-Powertrain. Our E-Cooling also had commercial vehicle success with 2 additional proof of concept awards.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased $65 million of Common Stock under our share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, we had $176 million of the authorized amount remaining under our share repurchase program.
As previously disclosed, on April 3, 2024, we divested our equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture for approximately $58 million, subject to customary debt and working capital adjustments. We received cash consideration on the divestiture date of $46 million, with an additional $7 million still to be received, and recognized a gain of $27 million related to this divestiture.
During the second quarter, we completed an offering of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.75% 2032 Senior Notes and made early debt repayments totaling $985 million on our Euro Term Facility and 2023 Dollar Term Facility, both of which were fully repaid as of June 30, 2024.

% change compared with prior period (12.0) % (8.9) %
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net sales compared to prior year decreased by $121 million or 12%, (including an unfavorable impact of $18 million or 2%) due to foreign currency translation driven by lower Euro-to-US dollar, Chinese yuan-to-US dollar, and Japanese yen-to-US dollar exchange rates. This decrease was mainly driven by demand softness in gasoline, diesel, and commercial vehicles applications, and commodity deflation impact on pricing net of inflation pass-through, partially offset by increased demand for replacement parts on aftermarket sales.
Gasoline product sales decreased by $80 million or 17% (including an unfavorable impact of $9 million or 2% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by soft demand in China and North America. The decrease was partially offset by program ramp-ups in Europe, Japan, and India.
Diesel product sales decreased by $40 million or 15% (including an unfavorable impact of $4 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by demand softness for passenger vehicles in Europe, partially offset by sustained demand for light commercial vehicles in China and North America.
Commercial vehicle sales decreased by $7 million or 4% (including an unfavorable impact of $4 million or 2% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by soft demand in the construction and agriculture industries due to high interest rates and lower crop prices. This decrease was partially offset by sustained demand in China, linked to ramp-up of compressed natural gas programs.
Aftermarket sales increased by $7 million or 6% (including a unfavorable impact of $1 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to favorable aftermarket conditions and demand for replacement parts in China, North America, and Europe, partially offset by softer sales in Australia.
25
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net sales compared to prior year decreased by $176 million or 9% (including an unfavorable impact of $26 million or 1%), due to foreign currency translation driven by lower Chinese yuan-to-US dollar and lower Japanese yen-to-US dollar exchange rates. This decrease was mainly driven by demand softness in gasoline, diesel, and commercial vehicle applications, and commodity deflation impact on pricing net of inflation pass-through, partially offset by increased demand for replacement parts on aftermarket sales and favorable product mix.
Gasoline product sales decreased by $95 million or 11% (including an unfavorable impact of $14 million or 2% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by soft demand in China and North America partially offset by program ramp-ups in Europe, Japan, and India.
Diesel product sales decreased by $61 million or 12% (including an unfavorable impact of $4 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by soft demand in Europe for passenger vehicles partially offset by sustained demand for light commercial vehicles in China and North America.
Commercial vehicle sales decreased by $29 million or 8% (including an unfavorable impact of $6 million or 2% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by soft demand in the construction and agriculture industries mainly in Europe due to high interest rates and lower crop prices. This decrease was partially offset by sustained demand in China, linked to the ramp-up of compressed natural gas programs.
Aftermarket sales increased by $9 million or 4% (including a unfavorable impact of $2 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to favorable aftermarket conditions and the continued high demand for replacement parts in Europe, China, and North America, partially offset by softer sales in Australia.

SG&A expenses also decreased due to $1 million of favorable foreign exchange impact.
SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $6 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $5 million of higher stock-based compensation expense, $2 million of higher bad debt expense, and $1 million of labor inflation impacts. These increases were partially offset by $2 million of lower professional service fees.

Interest expense $ 62 $ 29 $ 93 $ 56
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense increased by $33 million compared to the prior year. This was primarily driven by $27 million of accelerated debt issuance cost amortization and $3 million of higher interest expense due to a different notional amount of debt outstanding during the period and higher variable interest rates, partially offset by the spread reduction on the 2021 Dollar Term Facility. In addition, there were $25 million of marked-to-market remeasurement losses recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024 on our undesignated interest rate swap contracts, partially offset by $22 million of gains, including settlements of $18 million, on our interest derivatives in the current year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense increased by $37 million compared to the prior year. This was primarily driven by $27 million of accelerated debt issuance cost amortization, $12 million of interest expense on our 2023 Dollar Term Facility versus none in the first six months of 2023, as well as $7 million of interest expense related to our 2032 Senior Notes. These increases in interest expense were partially offset by $28 million of gains, including settlements of $18 million, on our interest derivatives in the current year. In addition, there were $24 million marked-to-market remeasurement losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024 on our undesignated interest rate swap contracts, in comparison to $5 million of marked-to-market remeasurement losses in the prior year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had non-operating income of $1 million versus non-operating expense of $8 million in the prior year. The increase in non-operating income was primarily driven by foreign exchange transactional gains, partially offset by $2 million of lower equity income due to sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had non-operating income of $6 million versus an expense of $5 million in the prior year.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior period is primarily related to lower U.S. taxes on international operations and lower non-deductible transaction costs, partially offset by tax related to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.
The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior period is primarily related to reversal of tax reserves, lower U.S. taxes on international operations, and lower non-deductible transaction costs, partially offset by tax related to the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

In January 2019, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") announced further work in continuation of its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project, focusing on two "pillars." Pillar One provides a framework for the reallocation of certain residual profits of multinational enterprises to market jurisdictions where goods or services are used or consumed. Pillar Two consists of two interrelated rules referred to as Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") Rules, which operate to impose a minimum tax rate of 15% calculated on a jurisdictional basis. On December 20, 2021, the OECD published GloBE model rules and released multiple rounds of commentary on those rules over the subsequent months. More than 135 OECD member countries have agreed to the key parameters of the model rules, which allow those OECD member countries to begin implementing the GloBE rules in a manner consistent with the agreement reached. The rules were adopted by a number of countries in 2023, with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023.
We do not expect that Pillar One will have an impact on our operations or effective tax rate. Based on currently enacted legislation, we do not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact to our 2024 effective tax rate. However, further enactment of legislation by countries in which we do business could have an impact on our 2024 effective tax rate.
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.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $7 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $17 million of decreased gross profit and $33 million of higher interest expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $27 million gain on the sale of equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, $9 million of higher non-operating income, and $7 million of lower tax expense.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $22 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $34 million of decreased gross profit, $37 million of higher interest expense, and $6 million of higher SG&A expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a $27 million gain on the sale of equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, $11 million of higher non-operating income, and $19 million of lower tax expense.
Non-GAAP Measures
It is management's intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to supplement the understanding of our business operations and performance, and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the most directly comparable GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, an analysis of the Company's operating results as reported under GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate performance on the basis of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define "EBITDA" as our net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of interest expense net of interest income, tax expense and depreciation. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA, plus the sum of stock compensation expense, repositioning costs, foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gains, discounting costs on factoring, gain on sale of equity investment, acquisition and divestiture expenses, other non-operating income, capital structure transformation expenses, debt refinancing and redemption costs, net reorganization items and loss on extinguishment of debt (if any).
29
Adjusted EBITDA now adjusts for acquisition and divestiture expenses, and debt refinancing and redemption costs, but no adjustments were made to the prior period as there were no similar adjustments in the prior periods. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation expenses and therefore more closely measure our operational performance; and
certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of our results.
In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.
The following table reconciles Net income under GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net income decreased by $7 millionversus the prior year as discussed above within Results of Operations forThree and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $20 millioncompared to the prior year, mainly due to soft demand across product lines except aftermarket, pricing net of inflation pass-through, and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. These decreases were partially offset by strong operational performance through productivity, net of labor inflation, as well as commodity, transportation, and energy deflation, and a slightly favorable product mix.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we saw soft demand for gasoline, diesel, and commercial vehicle applications, partially offset by favorable demand in aftermarket for replacement parts in North America, China, and Europe. Net sales also decreased due to pricing, net of inflation pass-through, driven by commodity deflation.
The increased productivity from our ability to flex our variable cost structure, while driving sustained fixed cost productivity was partially offset by year-over-year labor inflation and lower equity income following the sale of an equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture on April 3, 2024.
R&D expenses increased $2 million, reflecting our continued investment in new technologies and increased hiring to accelerate growth in the zero emission technologies.
Losses in foreign currency from translational, transactional, and hedging effects in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a lower Euro-to-US dollar, lower Chinese yuan-to-US dollar and lower Japanese yen-to-US dollar exchange rates versus the prior year period, accounted for a $7 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net income decreased by $22 millionversus the prior year as discussed above within Results of Operations forThree and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $37 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to soft demand across product lines except aftermarket, pricing net of inflation pass-through, and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts and unfavorable
31
product mix. These decreases were partially offset by strong operational performance through productivity, net of labor inflation, and repositioning costs, as well as commodity, transportation, and energy deflation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we saw demand softness for gasoline, diesel, and commercial vehicle applications, partially offset by favorable demand in aftermarket for replacement parts in North America, China, and Europe. Net sales also decreased due to pricing decreases, net of inflation pass-through, driven by commodity price decreases.
The increased productivity from our ability to flex our variable cost structure while driving sustained fixed cost productivity was partially offset by year-over-year labor inflation.
R&D expenses increased $4 million, reflecting our continued investment in new technologies, and increased hiring to accelerate growth in the zero emission technologies.
Losses in foreign currency from translational, transactional, and hedging effects in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a lower Chinese yuan-to-US dollar and lower Japanese yen-to-US dollar exchange rates and partially offset by higher Euro-to-US dollar exchange rates versus the prior year period, accounted for a $14 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

On May 21, 2024, our wholly owned subsidiaries, Garrett Motion Holdings Inc. and Garrett LX I S.a.r.l., completed an offering of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Senior Notes. The 2032 Senior Notes mature on May 31, 2032 and bear interest at a rate of 7.75% per annum. We incurred $12 million of debt issuance costs, which have been capitalized and will be amortized on a straight-line basis.
On May 21, 2024, we also entered into the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Credit Agreement, which (i) removed the credit spread adjustment with respect to certain US dollar denominated term loan borrowings that are Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) reduced the Applicable Rate on certain US dollar denominated term loans to 2.75% for Term Benchmark Loans and 1.75% for ABR Loans, and (iii) increased the maximum borrowings available under the Revolving Facility by $30 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repaid $500 million on our 2023 Dollar Term Facility, $485 million (€450 million) on our Euro Term Facility and $4 million on our 2021 Dollar Term Facility.
We employ several means to manage our liquidity, and our sources of financing include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, the 2032 Senior Notes, our Term Loan Facilities, and our Revolving Facility. We expect to continue investing in our facilities as we expand our manufacturing capacity for new product launches and invest in new technologies and strategic growth opportunities, in particular in the electrification of drivetrains. We believe the combination of expected cash flows, the term loan borrowings, the 2032 Senior Notes, and the Revolving Facility being committed until 2028, will provide us with adequate liquidity to support the Company's operations.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 13, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a $350 million share repurchase program valid until December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $174 million of Common
32
Stock, with $176 million remaining under the share repurchase program as of that date. The Company may repurchase shares from time to time under the program through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, and otherwise. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will depend on a variety of factors. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. For more information, see Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

$ (161) $ 231
Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $22 million in net income, excluding the effects of non-cash items, as well as $28 million of unfavorable impacts from changes in other assets and liabilities. These decreases were partially offset by $4 million of favorable impacts from working capital changes.
Cash flow from investing activities increased by $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the prior year, mainly due to $46 million of proceeds from the sale of equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture and a $12 million increase in proceeds on our cross currency swap contracts which have been designated as net investment hedges of our Euro-denominated operations. This was partially offset by $16 million of increased expenditures for property, plant and equipment.
Cash used for financing activities was $384 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with $2 million in the prior year. During 2024, we made an aggregate of $989 million in debt repayments on our term loan facilities. We also made payments of $173 million for Common Stock repurchases, $7 million for debt issuance costs and $9 million for other financing activities. These payments were partially offset by proceeds of $794 million, net of deferred financing costs, from the issuance of our 2032 Senior Notes.
In comparison, cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by payments of $605 million in aggregate to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock related to the Transaction, including conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and $42 million for dividends declared on our Series A Preferred Stock. We also made payments of $15 million for the repurchase of Common Stock under our share repurchase program and debt repayments of $4 million on our 2021 Dollar Term Facility. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of $667 million from the 2023 Dollar Term Facility net of debt financing costs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financial arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our financial statements. Our critical accounting policies are
33
summarized in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of our 2023 Form 10-K.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation statements regarding the following, are forward-looking statements: statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, expectations regarding the growth of the turbocharger and electric vehicle markets and other industry trends, the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources, anticipated impacts of changes in legislation and government policy relating to taxation or otherwise, anticipated sources and uses of cash, anticipated investments in our business, our business strategy, pending litigation, anticipated interest expense, and the plans and objectives of management for future operations and capital expenditures are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "intend," "target," "project," "contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including:
increases in the costs and availability of raw materials, components, energy and transportation and our ability to offset inflation;
sales to major customers as well as a network of independent dealers to manage the distribution of our products, and we could be adversely impacted by the loss of any of our such major customers or dealers, changes in their requirements for our products or changes in their financial condition.
the negotiating positions of our customers and our ability to negotiate favorable pricing terms;
risks associated with changes in the automotive industry and our inability, or a perception that we are unable, to respond appropriately to such changes, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted;
risks associated with any program launch difficulties and inaccuracies in estimates of volumes of awarded business;
changes in the automotive industry and economic or competitive conditions;
risks related to economic, political, regulatory and foreign exchange;
geopolitical conditions, catastrophic events and pandemics;
risks related to international operations and our investment in foreign markets;
risks of increased scrutiny from customers, investors, regulators and others regarding sustainability/ESG practices, as well as the climate-related risks we may face, each of which could expose us to liabilities, including reputational harm, impact demand for our products, lead to increased costs and have other adverse effects on our business, supply chain and results of operations;
34
risks associated with joint venture partnerships and joint development projects;
any failure to protect our intellectual property or allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property of others, and our ability to license necessary intellectual property from third parties;
work stoppages, other disruptions or the need to relocate any of our facilities;
inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel;
any failure to increase productivity or successfully execute repositioning projects or manage our workforce;
potential material losses and costs as a result of any warranty claims and product liability actions brought against us;
the commencement of any lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of our current and historical businesses, and the consequences thereof;
potential material environmental liabilities and hazards;
risks of changes in the effective tax rates;
the effects of any deterioration on industry, economic or financial conditions on our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms;
quality control and creditworthiness of the suppliers on which we rely;
risks for system or service failures, including cyber or other security incidents, each of which could disrupt business operations, result in loss of critical and confidential information and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations; and
the other factors described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our 2023 Form 10-K, as updated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2024, the net fair value of all financial instruments with exposure to currency risk was a $60 million asset. The potential loss or gain in fair value for such financial instruments from a hypothetical 10% adverse or favorable change in quoted currency exchange rates would be $198 million and $(194) million, respectively, at June 30, 2024 exchange rates. The model assumes a parallel shift in currency exchange rates; however, currency exchange rates rarely move in the same direction. The assumption that currency exchange rates change in a parallel fashion may overstate the impact of changing currency exchange rates on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
There have been no other material changes to the Company's quantitative and qualitative disclosures about interest rate or commodity price risks as disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, in our 2023Form 10-K.
35
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2024.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the operation of our businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, product safety, environmental, safety and health, intellectual property, employment, commercial and contractual matters and various other matters. Although the outcome of any such lawsuit, claim or proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty and some may be disposed of unfavorably to us, we do not currently believe that such lawsuits, claims or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We accrue for potential liabilities in a manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, we accrue for a liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable.
For additional information regarding our legal proceedings, see the discussion under Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risks described under "Risk Factors" in our 2023 Form 10-K. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in our 2023 Form 10-K. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this report.
