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, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023 (our “2022 Form 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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 March 31, 2023. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, 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, 2022 included in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted 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 Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2023. See Note 10, Supplier Financing for disclosure related to the Company's supplier financing program obligations.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers

Disaggregated Revenue

Net sales by region (determined based on country of shipment) and channel are as follows:

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:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Research and development costs		$	40	$	36
Engineering-related expenses (1)		(1)		6
		$	39	$	42

(1) Engineering-related expenses include customer reimbursements of $11 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 5. Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Tax expense		$	27		$	37
Effective tax rate		25.0		%	29.6		%

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 25.0% and 29.6%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior period is primarily related to a decrease in tax reserve true ups and additional global research and development benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because of U.S. taxes on international operations and withholding taxes, partially offset by lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings and global research and development benefits.

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.

Note 6. Accounts, Notes and Other Receivables—Net


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

	$	888	$	803

Trade receivables include $66 million and $46 million of unbilled customer contract asset balances as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of customer contracts to which they relate. See Note 3, Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers.

Notes receivable is related to guaranteed bank notes without recourse that the Company receives in settlement of accounts receivables, primarily in the Asia Pacific region. See Note 7, Factoring and Notes Receivable for further information.

Note 7. Factoring and Notes Receivable

The Company enters into arrangements with financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivables. The receivables are sold without recourse and the Company accounts for these arrangements as true sales. The Company also receives guaranteed bank notes without recourse, in settlement of accounts receivables, primarily in the Asia Pacific region. The Company can hold the bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third-party financial institutions in exchange for cash. Bank notes sold to third-party financial institutions without recourse are likewise accounted for as true sales.

The Company also enters into arrangements with banking institutions to issue bankers acceptance drafts in settlement of accounts payables, primarily in the Asia Pacific region. The bankers acceptance drafts, or guaranteed bank notes, have a contractual maturity of six months or less, and may be held by suppliers until maturity, transferred to their suppliers, or discounted with financial institutions in exchange for cash.

Credit Facilities

On April 30, 2021, 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 Term 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”).

Following amendments to the Credit Agreement in 2022, the maximum amount of borrowings available under the Revolving Facility is $475 million, and 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 Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind, which issuances reduce availability under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility matures on April 30, 2026, with certain extension rights at the discretion of each lender. As of March 31, 2023 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 March 31, 2023, 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 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 March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Note 15. Series A Preferred Stock

On March 8, 2023, 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 March 22, 2023, a total of 245,045,431 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding, resulting in an aggregate dividend amount of $42 million. Cash was transferred on March 29, 2023 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 April 3, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, the remaining unpaid cumulative dividends not yet declared on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of that date was $169 million.

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, 2022 included in our 2022 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had contracts with aggregate gross notional amounts of $2,734 million and $2,621 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


					Fair Value
	Notional Amounts				Assets					Liabilities
	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022			March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

(a) Recorded within Other current assets

(b) Recorded within Other assets

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of €960 million, with maturities of April 2023, April 2024, April 2025, April 2026, April 2027 and April 2028. 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 March 31, 2023, 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 $60 million at March 31, 2023. Our Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income include Changes in fair value of net investment hedges, net of tax, of $(5) million and $13 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 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 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:


	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(Dollars in millions)
Term Loan Facilities	$	1,164	$	1,168	$	1,156	$	1,151

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 17. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income by component are set forth below:

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. 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022

Note 19. Related Party Transactions

We lease certain facilities and receive property maintenance services from Honeywell, which was the owner of our Series B Preferred Stock that was fully redeemed by the Company on June 28, 2022, is a holder of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. We also contract with Honeywell for the occasional purchase of certain goods and services. Lease and service agreements were made at commercial terms prevalent in the market at the time they were executed.

Related to the agreements with Honeywell, our Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023 and our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 includes liabilities of $9 million and $10 million, respectively. Liability balances are primarily related to lease contracts of $7 million and $7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies

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. On March 31, 2023, the action was dismissed with prejudice and the plaintiffs have 30 days to file an appeal.

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 March 31, 2023 was $35 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 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.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Warranty and product performance guarantees at beginning of period		$	28	$	32
Accruals for warranties/guarantees issued during the year		3		3
Settlement of warranty/guarantee claims		(3)		(3)


Warranty and product performance guarantees at end of period		$	28	$	32

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 2023. 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 2023, of which $1 million has been contributed as of March 31, 2023.

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		U.S. Plans	Non-U.S. Plan
			2023		2022		2023		2022
			(Dollars in millions)
Service cost			$	—	$	—	$	1	$	2
Interest cost			2		1		1		—
Expected return on plan assets			(2)		(2)		(2)		(2)
Amortization of prior service (credit)			—		—		—		—
			$	—	$	(1)	$	—	$	—

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 22. Subsequent Events

On April 12, 2023, the Company entered into separate definitive agreements (the “Agreements”) with each of Centerbridge Partners, L.P. (“Centerbridge”) and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) to effect a series of integrated transactions designed to increase the attractiveness of the Company to investors, including by simplifying the Company’s capital stock by converting all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into a single class of Common Stock, on or about July 3, 2023, subject to certain conditions.

Pursuant to the Agreements and subject to the completion of the debt financing described below, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock will convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a manner similar to the conversion procedures of an Automatic Conversion Event set forth in the existing Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock. The conversion will occur pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock, which has been approved by the Board of Directors and consented to by Centerbridge and Oaktree as the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Company will repurchase approximately $280 million and $290 million of Series A Preferred Stock from Centerbridge and Oaktree, respectively, for a total of $570 million, at a cash price of $8.10 per share which will be adjusted to equal the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the fifteen trading days following the announcement of the transactions, subject to a minimum price of $7.875 per share and a maximum price of $8.50 per share.

In addition, all holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive an amount equal to:

•$0.17 per share, representing the preference dividends that will accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock from April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023; plus

•Approximately $0.6835 per share, representing other accrued and unpaid preference dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock; and

•$0.144375 per share, representing the preference dividends that would have accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023.

Other than the preference dividend that would have accrued through September 30, 2023, which will be paid in cash, these amounts may be paid to all holders in cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock, at the election of the Company, and any stock issued will be valued at the adjusted purchase price paid to Centerbridge and Oaktree.

The repurchases will be funded with approximately $700 million of new debt, which is expected to be in the form of a new term loan B under the Company’s existing credit agreement, subject to certain modifications related to the transaction, and is expected to be consummated in Q2 2023.

The repurchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock from Centerbridge and Oaktree pursuant to the Agreements is subject to the completion of the debt financing, the effectiveness of the amended and restated Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock, and certain other customary conditions. The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock

into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the amended and restated Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to the completion of the repurchases of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock from Centerbridge and Oaktree.

The Company has also announced an increase in its share repurchase authorization to $250 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in open market transactions, privately negotiated purchases and other transactions from time to time.

As part of the Agreements, Centerbridge and Oaktree have also agreed with the Company to certain changes to their governance rights under the Company’s governance documents, including a reduction of their existing board nomination rights, as well as lock-up restrictions on their equity securities of the Company for up to twelve months, and certain limits on their ability to purchase additional equity securities of the Company and to voting limitations, in each case for a period of up to eighteen months.

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, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023 (our “2022 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 2022 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 months ended March 31, 2023.

Executive Summary

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net sales were $970 million, an increase compared to prior year of $69 million or 8%, including an unfavorable impact of $47 million or 5% due to foreign currency translation driven by lower Euro-to-US dollar exchange rates. This increase was driven by higher volumes as the industry recovers and the semiconductor shortages experienced in the prior year abate, as well as share of demand gains from new product ramp-ups and launches, and inflation recoveries net of pricing across all product lines.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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 69% 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 88% of our revenues while our aftermarket and other products contributed 12% of our revenues. Approximately 51% of our revenues came from sales to customers located in Europe, 29% from sales to customers located in Asia, 18% from sales to customers in North America, and 2% from sales to customers in other international markets.

On March 8, 2023, we declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per share on our Series A Preferred Stock, payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 22, 2023. On March 29, 2023, we transferred the aggregate dividend amount of $42 million to the transfer agent, for the settlement of the dividend to the shareholders of record, which occurred on April 3, 2023.

On April 12, 2023, we entered into separate transaction agreements with Centerbridge and Oaktree (collectively, the "Transaction Agreements") to effect a series of integrated transactions designed to increase the attractiveness of the Company to investors, including by simplifying our capital structure through a conversion of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on or about July 3, 2023. The transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements include, among other things, the cash repurchase of approximately $570 million of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, comprised of approximately $280 million of shares from Centerbridge and approximately $290 million of shares from Oaktree, subject to the successful completion by the Company of a debt financing of approximately $700 million, which the Company currently intends to be in the form of a new $700 million term loan B. The Board of Directors has also approved, and each of Centerbridge and Oaktree have consented to, an amendment and restatement of the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive accrued and unpaid dividends on their shares until conversion, as well as certain other dividends and amounts payable in respect of their shares, including an additional amount that represents the dividends that would have accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock through September 30, 2023. As part of the Agreements, Centerbridge and Oaktree have also agreed with the Company to certain changes to their governance rights under the Company’s governance documents, including a reduction of their existing board nomination rights, as well as lock-up restrictions on their equity securities of the Company for up to twelve months, and certain limits on their ability to purchase additional equity securities of the Company and to voting limitations, in each case for a period of up to eighteen months. The foregoing description of the transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Agreements, which are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On April 12, 2023, the Board of Directors also authorized an increase in our share repurchase program, from $100 million to an aggregate amount of $250 million available as of April 12, 2023.

Net Sales


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Net sales		$	970		$	901
% change compared with prior period		7.7		%

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net sales increased compared to prior year by $69 million or 8%, including an unfavorable impact of $47 million or 5% due to foreign currency translation driven by lower Euro-to-US dollar exchange rates. This increase was driven by volume upside as the industry recovers and the semiconductor shortages experienced in the prior year abate, as well as share of demand gains from new product ramp-ups and launches, and inflation recoveries net of pricing across all product lines.

Gasoline product sales increased by $40 million or 11% (including an unfavorable impact of $21 million or 6% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by industry recovery including reduced semiconductor shortages versus prior year, as well as new product launches in Europe, Asia and North America.

Diesel product sales increased by $8 million or 3% (including an unfavorable impact of $13 million or 5% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by industry recovery in Europe, Korea and North America, balanced by soft light commercial vehicle demand in China affected by ripple effects from the end of their zero COVID policy.

Commercial vehicle sales increased by $17 million or 10% (including an unfavorable impact of $9 million or 5% 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 products combined with the ramp up to peak volumes on new programs.

Aftermarket sales improved by $5 million or 5% (including an unfavorable impact of $3 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to strong demand in Europe and Asia Pacific related to favorable aftermarket conditions such as continued high demand for replacement parts, recovery in China from the end of their zero COVID policy, as well as growth through new product introductions, favorable pricing impacts and improved shipment performance.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Cost of Goods Sold / Gross Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023	$	781	781	$	189

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cost of goods sold increased by $55 million, primarily driven by our higher sales volumes and product mix, which contributed to increases of $41 million and $34 million, respectively. Cost of goods sold further increased due to $26 million of inflation on commodities, energy and transportation, as well as a $3 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, net of labor inflation, contributed to a decrease in cost of goods sold of $13 million. Foreign currency impacts from transactional, translational and hedging effects also contributed to decreases of $36 million.

Gross profit increased by $14 million, mainly driven by the higher sales volumes of $18 million and $23 million of inflation recoveries from customer pass-through agreements net of pricing reductions. Furthermore, gross profit increased $8 million from higher productivity net of labor inflation and $4 million of favorable product mix. These increases were partially offset by $26 million inflation on commodities, energy costs and transportation, as discussed above, and $3 million of higher R&D costs. Foreign currency impacts from transactional, translational and hedging effects also contributed to decreases of $10 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Selling, general and administrative expense		$	56		$	53
% of sales		5.8		%	5.9		%

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $3 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $3 million of lower incentive compensation expense in 2022 and $2 million of consultant fees related to our capital structure transformation, partially offset by $2 million of favorable impacts from foreign exchange rates.

Interest Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Interest expense		$	28	$	23

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest expense increased by $5 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to $7 million of interest expense recorded from unrealized marked-to-market losses on our interest rate swaps.

Non-operating income


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
			(Dollars in millions)
Non-operating income			$	(4)		$	(28)

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, non-operating income decreased by $24 million from $28 million in the prior year period, primarily related to $27 million of interest income recorded in 2022 from unrealized marked-to-market gains on our interest rate swaps.

Tax Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Tax expense		$	27		$	37
Effective tax rate		25.0		%	29.6		%

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior period is primarily related to a decrease in tax reserve true ups and additional global research and development benefits.

Net Income


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
		(Dollars in millions)
Net income		$	81		$	88
Net income margin		8.4		%	9.8		%

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $7 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $24 million of lower non-operating income and $5 million of higher interest expense, partially offset by $14 million increase in gross profit and $10 million of lower tax expense, as discussed in the above sections.

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 or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)		$	168	$	146

(1)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 net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA, plus the sum of net reorganization items, stock compensation expense, repositioning costs, discounting costs on factoring, other non-operating income and capital structure transformation costs. 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.

(2)The Company applied ASC 852 for periods subsequent to September 20, 2020, the date the Company and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, to distinguish transactions and events that were directly associated with the Company’s reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses and gains incurred related to these transactions and events were recorded within Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.

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

(4)Repositioning costs includes severance costs related to restructuring projects to improve future productivity.

(5)Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension costs and other income that are non-recurring or not considered directly related to the Company's operations.

(6)Reflects the third-party incremental costs that are directly attributable to the transformation of the Company's capital structure through the partial redemption and subsequent conversion of remaining outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into a single class of common stock.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net income decreased by $7 million versus the prior year as discussed above within the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 section.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $22 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to volume increases, increased productivity and inflation pass-through net of pricing. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by inflation on commodities, energy and transportation, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we saw strong customer demand increases in all verticals, in a less disruptive environment, as the industry recovers and the semiconductor shortages experienced in the prior year abate, as well as favorable impacts from new product launches in gasoline. We also saw ramp up to peak volumes on programs in commercial vehicles and favorable aftermarket conditions such as continued high demand for replacement parts, recovery in China from the end of their zero COVID policy, as well as growth through new product introductions, favorable pricing impacts and improved shipment performance.

We maintained our focus on productivity in the current year as rising commodity prices led to higher raw material costs, particularly for nickel, aluminum and steel alloys. We recovered a majority of the increases from our customer pass-through agreements, especially for nickel, and continue to negotiate with our customers for further pass-through while actively managing our supply base and cost recovery mechanisms to minimize the impact of materials cost inflation. The increased productivity was partially offset by year-over-year labor inflation and increases in our SG&A expenses due primarily to lower incentive compensation expense in the prior year.

R&D expenses increased $3 million which reflects our shift in investment in new technologies, increased hiring to accelerate growth in the new technologies and year-over-year labor inflation.

Losses in foreign currency from translational, transactional and hedging effects in the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by a lower Euro-to-US dollar exchange rate versus the prior-year period, also accounted for a $6 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We employ several means to manage our liquidity, and our sources of financing include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, our Term Loan Facilities, and Revolving Facility.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company reported a cash and cash equivalents position of $291 million (not including $1 million in restricted cash as of March 31, 2023) as compared to $246 million as of December 31, 2022 (not including $2 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2022). The Company had no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and available borrowing capacity of $475 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, the Company had $1,193 million of principal outstanding on its Term Loan Facilities and had utilized $12 million of the bilateral letter of credit facilities with $3 million of remaining available capacity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repaid $2 million on our Dollar Facility. Additionally, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by a committee of disinterested directors of the Board out of funds legally available for such dividend, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 11% on the stated amount per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share. These dividends accumulate whether or not declared. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per share on our Series A Preferred Stock for a total aggregate dividend of $42 million. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate accumulated undeclared and unpaid dividend was approximately $169 million.

As disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K, we expect to continue investing in our facilities as we expand our manufacturing capacity for new product launches and invest in strategic growth opportunities, in particular in the electrification of drivetrains. We believe the combination of expected cash flows, the term loan borrowings, and the Revolving Facility being committed until 2026, will provide us with adequate liquidity to support the Company's operations.

Following the definitive agreements entered into with Centerbridge and Oaktree to simplify the Company’s capital stock by converting all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into a single class of Common Stock as previously discussed, we furthermore expect to enter into a new term loan B under our existing Credit Facilities for approximately $700 million in Q2 2023. We further expect to utilize the borrowings from the new term loan B to fund the repurchases of Series A Preferred Stock from Centerbridge and Oaktree, as well as cash payment of some or all of the preference dividends due to holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 16, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program for one year, providing for the purchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The share repurchase program was subsequently extended until November 15, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had repurchased $26 million of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, with $74 million remaining under the share repurchase program.

On April 12, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of $250 million available as of that date. For more information, see Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Cash Flow Summary for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	44	$	(144)

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $31 million in net income excluding non-cash charges and favorable impacts

from other assets and liabilities of $26 million, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from changes in working capital of $38 million.

Cash used for investing activities decreased by $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus the prior year due to decreased expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

Cash used for financing activities decreased by $152 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the prior year. The change was driven by $186 million paid in the prior year period for the final early redemption of our Series B Preferred Stock (exclusive of $11 million attributable to interest and included in cash from operating activities). Additionally, in the prior year period, there were payments of $2 million for repurchases of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program, and $6 million incurred as debt financing costs, mainly on our Revolving Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $42 million of cash was transferred to the transfer agent for settlement of our Series A Preferred Stock dividend declared on March 8, 2023.

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 March 31, 2023.

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 March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no conversions of our Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock.

On November 16, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program for one year, providing for the purchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The validity of the share repurchase program was subsequently extended until November 15, 2023. On April 12, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of $250 million as of that date.

The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and additional information regarding our share repurchase program:
