BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On October 1, 2018, Garrett Motion Inc. became an independent publicly-traded company through a pro rata distribution (the “Distribution”) by Honeywell International Inc. (“Parent” or “Honeywell”) of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Garrett to Honeywell’s stockholders (the “Spin-Off”). Each Honeywell stockholder of record received one share of Garrett common stock for every 10 shares of Honeywell common stock held on the record date. Approximately 74 million shares of Garrett common stock were distributed on October 1, 2018 to Honeywell stockholders. In connection with the Spin-Off, Garrett´s common stock began trading “regular-way” under the ticker symbol “GTX” on the New York Stock Exchange on October 1, 2018.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Garrett,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to (i) Honeywell’s Transportation Systems Business (the “Transportation Systems Business” or the “Business”) prior to the Spin-Off and (ii) Garrett Motion Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off, as applicable.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains financial information presented on a carve-out basis which was derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Honeywell. The accompanying Combined Interim Financial Statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Transportation Systems Business as they were historically managed in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the historical combined financial information may not be indicative of our future performance and does not necessarily reflect what our combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the Business operated as a separate, publicly traded company during the periods presented, particularly because of changes that we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, in the future as a result of our separation from Honeywell, including changes in the financing, cash management, operations, cost structure and personnel needs of our business.

CAUTIONARY 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 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, including without limitation statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, expectations regarding the growth of the turbocharger market, the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, anticipated sources and uses of cash, our business strategy, anticipated payments under our agreements with Honeywell, 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 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 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:

1.

2.

our ability to develop new technologies and products, and the development of either effective alternative turbochargers or new replacement technologies;

1

3.

failure to protect our intellectual property or allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property of others; our ability to license necessary intellectual property from third parties;



4.

volume of products we produce and market demand for such products and prices we charge and the margins we realize from our sales of our products;

7.

loss of or a significant reduction in purchases by our largest customers, material nonpayment or nonperformance by any our key customers, and difficulty collecting receivables;

8.

inaccuracies in estimates of volumes of award business;

9.

work stoppages, other disruptions or the need to relocate any of our facilities;

10.

supplier dependency;

11.

failure to meet our minimum delivery requirements under our supply agreements;

12.

failure to increase productivity or successfully execute repositioning projects or manage our workforce;

13.

potential material environmental liabilities and hazards; natural disasters and physical impacts of climate change;

14.

technical difficulties or failures, including cybersecurity risks;

15.

potential material litigation matters, including labour disputes;

16.

changes in legislation or government regulations or policies;

17.

risks related to international operations and our investment in foreign markets;

18.

risks related to our agreements with Honeywell, such as the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement and Tax Matters Agreement;

19.

the terms of our indebtedness; our ability to access capital markets;

20.

unforeseen adverse tax effects;

21.

costs related to operating as a standalone public company and failure to achieve benefits expected from the Spin-Off;

22.

inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; and

23.

the other factors described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2018.

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report 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.

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 aftermarket.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 diesel propulsion systems and hybridelectric (hybrid and fuel cell powertrains.

On October 1, 2018, the Company became an independent publicly-traded company through a pro rata distribution by Honeywell International Inc. (“Parent” or “Honeywell”) of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Garrett to Honeywell’s stockholders (the “Spin-Off”).   Each Honeywell stockholder of record received one share of Garrett common stockcell) power trains. These products are key enablers for every 10 shares of Honeywell common stock held on the record date. Approximately 74 million shares of Garrett common stock were distributed on October 1, 2018 to Honeywell stockholders. In connection with the Spin-Off, Garrett´s common stock began trading “regular-way” under the ticker symbol “GTX” on the New York Stock Exchange on October 1, 2018.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Garrett,” “we,” “us,” “our,”fuel economy and “the Company” refer to (i) Honeywell’s Transportation Systems Business (the “Transportation Systems Business” or the “Business”) prior to the Spin-Off and (ii) Garrett Motion Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off, as applicable.

emission standards compliance.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Combinedunaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were derived fromhave been prepared in accordance with the consolidated financial statementsrules and accounting records of Honeywell. These Combined Interim Financial Statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flowsregulations of the former Transportation Systems Business as they were historically managed in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Asbestos-related expenses, net of probable insurance recoveries,Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, presented within Other expense, net in the Combined Statements of Operations. Honeywell is subject to certain asbestos-related and environmental-related liabilities, primarily related to its legacy Bendix business. In conjunction with the Spin-Off, certain operations that were part of the Bendix business, along with the ownership of the Bendix trademark, as well as certain operations that were part of other legacy elements of the Business, were transferred to us. These Combined Interim Financial Statements, prepared for the period during which the Business was still a part of Honeywell, reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending and future asbestos-related and environmental liabilities related to these businesses, calculated as if we were responsible for 100% of the Bendix asbestos-liability payments. However, we note that this recognition model in the accompanying Combined Interim Financial Statements will differ from the recognition model to be presented in future financial statements as a standalone company which will reflect the terms of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement”) with Honeywell entered into on September 12, 2018, under which we are required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. For additional information, see Note 14 Subsequent Events.

The Combined Interim Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain allnecessary for fair presentation of the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operationsthe interim period, they do not include all of the information and cash flowsfootnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods.complete financial statements. The Combinedunaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited annual CombinedConsolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 of the Transportation Systems Business2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10,10-K, as amended and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 5, 2018February 14, 2023 (our “Form 10”“2022 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20182023 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20182023 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 in order to minimize the potentially

8


disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event thatFor differences in actual closing dates that are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing datessuch differences have been adjusted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and2022. Our actual closing date for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were September 29, 2018 and2022 was October 1, 2022. There was no difference in actual closing date for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

2023.
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.
Capital Structure Transformation Transaction
On April 12, 2023, the Company entered into the Transaction (as defined in Note 15 below) to increase the attractiveness of the Company to investors, including simplifying the Company’s capital stock by converting all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into a single class of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions.
In the Transaction, the Company repurchased and aggregate of 69,707,719 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the C&O Investors (as defined below), and converted all remaining outstanding 175,337,712 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. The total amounts paid to holders of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Transaction included aggregate cash payments of $605 million and the issuance of an

additional 25,577,517 shares of Common Stock in settlement of accumulated and unpaid preference dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock through June 30, 2023. The Transaction was financed through a new Term Loan B for an aggregate principal amount of $700 million under the framework of the Company's existing credit agreement. See Note 15, Series A Preferred Stock.
The Company recorded the following amounts in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements related to the repurchase and conversion of its Series A Preferred Stock:

See Note 14, Long-term Debt and Credit Agreement for discussion on the new Term Loan B and Note 15, Series A Preferred Stock for further discussion of the Transaction.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the BusinessCompany are set forth in Note 23 to the audited annual CombinedConsolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 of the Transportation Systems Business2022 included in our 2022 Form 10. We include herein certain updates10-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 policies.

Sales Recognition—On January 1, 2018, weobligations. The Company adopted the FASB´s updatednew guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results2023. See Note 10, Supplier Financing for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting.

Product sales are recognized when we transfer control of the promised goods to our customer, which is based on shipping terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods.

In the sale of products in the OEM channel, the transaction price for these goods is equaldisclosure related to the agreed price of each unit and represents the standalone selling price for the unit.

In the sale of products in the aftermarket channel, the terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, discounts and bonuses. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount we will receive from customers and reduce revenues recognized accordingly. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

Pension Benefits—On January 1, 2018, we retrospectively adopted the new accounting guidance contained in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-07 which amends the presentation of net periodic pension costs. That guidance requires that we disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit costs and report those costs in the same line item or items in the Combined Statement of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component.

Following the adoption of this guidance, we continue to record the service cost component of Pension ongoing (income) expense in Cost of goods sold. The remaining components of net benefit costs within Pension ongoing (income) expense, primarily interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are now recorded in Non-operating (income) expense. We will continue to recognize net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year (MTM Adjustment). The MTM Adjustment will also be reported in Non-operating (income) expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments— On September 27,2018, we early adopted the new accounting guidance contained in ASU 2017-12 on a modified retrospective approach. The new standard is intended to improve and simplify rules relating to hedge accounting, including the elimination of periodic hedge ineffectiveness, recognition of components excluded from hedge effectiveness assessment, the ability to elect to perform subsequent effectiveness assessments qualitatively, and other provisions designed to provide more transparency around the economics of a company’s hedging strategy.

On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap contract to hedge the foreign currency exposure from foreign currency-denominated debt as described in Note 10, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures. The contract is designated as a fair value hedge for accounting purposes. On adoption of ASU 2017-12, the Company has elected to account for the portion of the change in fair value of the cross-currency swap attributable to the cross-currency basis spread separately within Currency basis reserve as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”).

In relation to the Company’s foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts (foreign currency exchange contracts), adoption of ASU 2017-12 had no impact on Garrett Motion Inc.’s combined balance sheets or results of operations. Such contracts will continue to be accounted for in the same manner as outlined in Note 2 to the audited annual Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 of the Transportation Systems Business included in our Form 10.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsWe consider the applicability and impact of all recent accounting standards updates (“ASU’s”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). ASU’s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have immaterial impact on the combined financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for leases which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases that will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the requirements of the new standard effective January 1, 2019. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating our lease portfolio to assess the impact to the Combined Interim Financial Statements as well as planning for adoption and implementation of this standard, which includes assessing the impact on information systems and internal controls.

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that allows for an entity to elect to reclassify the income tax effects on items within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from U.S. tax reform to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Combined Interim Financial Statements and whether we will make the allowed election.

Note 3. Related Party Transactions with Honeywell

The Combined Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and accounting records of Honeywell.

Prior to the Spin-Off, Honeywell provided certain services, such as legal, accounting, information technology, human resources and other infrastructure support, on behalf of the Business. The cost of these services has been allocated to the Business on the basis of the proportion of revenues. The Business and Honeywell consider the allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the benefits received by the Business. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, Garrett was allocated $26 million and $87 million, and $31 million and $92 million, respectively, of general corporate expenses incurred by Honeywell, and such amounts are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations. As certain expenses reflected in the Combined Interim Financial Statements include allocations of corporate expenses from Honeywell, these statements could differ from those that would have been prepared had Garrett operated on a stand-alone basis.

Honeywell uses a centralized approach for the purpose of cash management andCompany's supplier financing of its operations. Prior to the Spin-Off, the Business’ cash was historically transferred to Honeywell daily, and Honeywell funded its operating and investing activities as needed. The Company has operated a centralized non-interest-bearing cash pool in U.S. and regional interest-bearing cash pools outside of U.S. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had non-interest-bearing cash pooling balances of $0 million and $51 million, respectively, which are presented in Invested deficit within the Combined Balance Sheets.

The Company received interest income for related party notes receivables of $0 million and $1 million, and $0 million and $0 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additionally, the Company incurred interest expense for related party notes payable of $0 million and $1 million, and $2 million and $5 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 4.3. Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers

The Company generates revenue through the sale of products to customers in the OEM and aftermarket channels. OEM and aftermarket contracts generally include scheduling agreements that stipulate the pricing and delivery terms that identify the quantity and timing of the product to be transferred.

11


Revenue recognition will be generally consistent with the previous standard, with the exception of how we account for payments made to customers in conjunction with future business. Historically these payments were recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time the payments were made. Under ASC 606, these payments result in deferred reductions to revenue that are subsequently recognized when the products are delivered to the customer. The Company evaluates the amounts capitalized each period end for recoverability and expenses any amounts that are no longer expected to be recovered over the term of the business arrangement. These payments are recorded in Other current assets and Other assets in our Combined Balance Sheet. Upon adoption the cumulative impact of this change is as follows:

Under the modified retrospective method of adoption, we are required to disclose the impact to revenues had we continued to follow our accounting policies under the previous revenue recognition guidance. We estimate the impact to revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was a decrease of $1 million and $4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, deferred payments to customers recorded in Other current assets and Other assets in our Combined Balance Sheet were $9 million and $45 million, respectively. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a summary of our significant policies for revenue recognition.

We recognize virtually all of our revenues arising from performance obligations at a point in time. Less than 1% of our revenue is satisfied over time.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in unbilled receivables (contract assets) and billed accounts receivable, reported in Accounts, notes and other receivables – net, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities), reported in Accrued Liabilities, on the Combined Balance Sheet. Contract assets arise when the timing of cash collected from customers differs from the timing of revenue recognition. Contract assets are recognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized once invoiced in accordance with the terms of the contract. Contract liabilities are recorded in scenarios where we enter into arrangements where customers are contractually obligated to remit cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations and recognizing revenue. Contract liabilities are generally derecognized when revenue is recognized.

These assets and liabilities are reported on the Combined Balance Sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer,


Note 4. Research, Development & Engineering
Garrett conducts research, development and is defined as the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For product sales, typically each product sold to a customer represents a distinct performance obligation.

Virtually all of our performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the natureengineering (“RD&E”) activities, which consist primarily of the distinct goods, services or bundledevelopment of new products and product applications. RD&E costs are charged to expense as incurred unless the Company has a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the customer. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross RD&E expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Such costs are included in Cost of goods sold as follows:

The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. All performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within one year, with substantially all performance obligations being satisfied within a month.

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment, with cash advances (contract liabilities) and unbilled receivables (contract assets) being settled within 3 months. For some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment.

We have applied the practical expedient to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected term of one year or less.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate decreased$6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to tax benefits from an internal restructuring of Garrett’s business in advance of the Spin-Off that resulted in an $8702023 and 2022, respectively, and $34 million reduction in tax expense and increased tax benefits attributable to currency impacts for withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings, partially offset by adjustments to the provisional tax amount related to U.S. tax reform.

The effective tax rate decreased$15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to tax benefits from an internal restructuring of Garrett’s business in advance of the Spin-Off that resulted in an $880 million reduction in tax expense2023 and increased tax benefits attributable to currency impacts for withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings, partially offset by adjustments to the provisional tax amount related to U.S. tax reform.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is lower than the effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily related to an increase in global research and development benefits, lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings partially offset by nondeductible expenses, and a prior year non-recurring decrease in withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20182023 is higher than the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily related to a prior year non-recurring decrease in withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and nondeductible expenses, partially offset by increase in global research and development benefit and lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits from an internal restructuring of Garrett’s business in advance of the Spin-Off that resulted in an $870 million and $880 million reduction in tax expense, respectively and tax benefits related to a decrease in the currency impacts on withholding

nondeductible transaction costs.


The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% from non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates, partially offset by non-deductible expenses. In addition, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 was further reduced as a result of the resolution of tax matters with certain jurisdictions.

On December 22, 2017,higher than the U.S. government enactedfederal statutory rate of 21% primarily related to nondeductible expenses and tax legislation that included changes to the taxation of foreign earningsreserves, partially offset by implementing a dividend exemption system, expansion of the current anti-deferral rules, a minimum taxlower taxes on low-taxed foreignnon-U.S. earnings and new measures to deter base erosion. The tax legislation also included a permanent reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21%, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, expensing of capital investment,global research and limitation of the deduction for interest expense. Furthermore, as part of the transition to the new tax system, a one-time transition tax was imposed on a U.S. shareholder’s historical undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates.

As described in our Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, we reasonably estimated certain effects of the tax legislation and, therefore, recorded provisional amounts, including the deemed repatriation transition tax and withholding taxes on undistributed earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment to the provisional tax amount related to the deemed repatriation transition tax and taxes on undistributed earnings of $13 million and $(8) million, respectively. This adjustment results in a net increase of $5 million to the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of 1.7%. The Company has not finalized the accounting for the tax effects of the tax legislation as we are continuing to gather additional information and expect to complete our accounting within the prescribed measurement period.

Credit Facilities
On September 27, 2018, weApril 30, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, by and among us, Garrett LX I S.à r.l., Garrett LX II S.à r.l. (“Lux Guarantor”), Garrett LX III S.à r.l. (“Lux Borrower”), Garrett Borrowing LLC (in such capacity,credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “US Co-Borrower”"Credit Agreement"), and Honeywell Technologies Sàrl (“Swiss Borrower” and, together with Lux Borrower and US Co-Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides providing for senior secured financing, of approximately the Euro equivalent of $1,254 million, consisting of (i) a seven-year senior secured first-lien U.S. Dollar term B loan facility which consistsinitially in the amount of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425$715 million (the “Term B“2021 Dollar Term Facility”), (ii) five-year seniora seven-year secured first-lien Euro term A loan facility initially in an aggregate principalthe amount of €330€450 million (the “Term A“Euro Term Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) and (iii) a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility initially in an aggregate principalthe amount of €430

$300 million with revolvingproviding for multi-currency revolving loans to Swiss Borrower, to be made available in a number of currencies including Australian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, U.S. Dollars and Yen (the “Revolving Facility”). The maximum amount of borrowings available under the Revolving Facility was increased to $475 million in 2022.

On April 27, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Third Amendment") to the Credit Agreement, which provided for additional financing consisting of a five-year secured first-lien U.S. Dollar term loan facility initially in the amount of $700 million (the “2023 Dollar Term Facility”, together with the 2021 Dollar Term Facility and Euro Term Facility, the "Term Loan Facilities", and together with the Term Loan Facilities,Revolving Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”"Credit Facilities"). EachThe full amount of the 2023 Dollar Term Facility was drawn on June 6, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), and the proceeds were primarily used to finance the repurchases of the Series A Preferred Stock as part of the Transaction, and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Third Amendment.
The 2023 Dollar Term Facility will mature on April 30, 2028. Prior to maturity, the 2023 Dollar Term Facility will be repaid quarterly in an amount equal to, during the first two years occurring after the Closing Date, 7.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount, and thereafter, 10.00% per annum. The Term Borrowers may also prepay the 2023 Dollar Term Facility at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, subject to certain exceptions (including for (i) customary breakage and redeployment costs in the case of prepayment of term benchmark rate loans and (ii) 2023 Dollar Term Facility repricing events occurring during the period from the Closing Date to the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date).
The Third Amendment also provided for (i) an increase in the maximum borrowing amount under the Revolving Facility by $95 million (the “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) to an aggregate amount of $570 million; and (ii) an extension of the maturity date for the Revolving Facility by two years from April 30, 2026 to April 30, 2028 (or January 30, 2028 if any of the currently outstanding term loans or term loans under the 2023 Dollar Term A Facility maturing as of April 30, 2028 remain outstanding as of such date). The Incremental Revolving Commitment has the same terms and is generally subject to the same conditions applicable to the existing revolving facility under the Credit Agreement, except for fees paid in connection with the arrangement of the increased amount.
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 Credit Agreement on terms and conditions customary for financings of this kind, which issuances reduce availability under the Revolving Facility. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility, no outstanding letters of credit, and available borrowing capacity of approximately $570 million.
Separate from the Revolving Facility, the Company has a bilateral letter of credit facility in the amount of $15 million, which matures five years afteron April 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2023, the effective dateCompany had $12 million utilized and $3 million of remaining available capacity under such facility.

Note 18. Earnings Per Share
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as well as the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method as our Series A Preferred Stock, which was converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Transaction, was considered a participating security. 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 was 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 was not contractually obligated to share in our net losses.
Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 as well as the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Asbestos Matters

Honeywell is

Securities Litigation
On September 25, 2020, a defendant in asbestos related personal injury actions mainly related to its legacy Bendix Friction Materials (“Bendix”) business. The Bendix business, manufactured automotive brake parts that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed brake replacements. In conjunction withputative securities class action complaint was filed against Garrett’s separation from Honeywell, Motion Inc. and certain operations that were part of the Bendix business, along with the ownership of the Bendix trademark, was transferred to Garrett.

As discussed in Note 1, these Combined Interim Financial Statements, prepared for the period during which the Business was still a part of Honeywell, reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pendingcurrent and future asbestos-relatedformer Garrett officers and environmental liabilities related to these businesses, calculated as if we were responsible for 100% of the Bendix asbestos-liability payments. However, we note that this recognition model in the Combined Interim Financial Statements will differ from the recognition model to be presented in future financials as a standalone company which will reflect the terms of the Indemnification and Reimbursement

Agreement with Honeywell signed on September 12, 2018, under which we are required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix businessdirectors in the United States as well as certain environmental-related liability paymentsDistrict Court for the Southern District of New York.

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.

Asbestos balances

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. The plaintiffs filed an appeal and the defendants' opposition is due on October 31, 2023.
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
23



estimated total amount of the contingency as of September 30, 2023 was $37 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 the following balance sheet accounts:

It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix-related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future.

Our Combined Interim Financial Statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pendingOther Commitments and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. We have valued pending and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims using average resolution values for the previous five years. We update the resolution values used to estimate the cost of pending and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims during the fourth quarter each year.

Such estimated cost of unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims is based on historic claims filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and resolution values in the tort system for the previous five years. Asbestos costs and insurance recoveries are recorded in Other expense, net.

Our insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of pending and unasserted Bendix asbestos claims reflects coverage which is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Based on our ongoing analysis of the probable insurance recovery, insurance receivables are recorded in the Combined Interim Financial Statements simultaneous with the recording of the estimated liability for the underlying asbestos claims. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers.

Other Matters

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 occurrenceoccurring 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. To date, no such matters are material to the Combined Statements of Operations.

Note 13.21. Pension Benefits

Prior to the completion of the Spin-Off, certain Garrett employees participated in

We sponsor several funded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Significant plans (the “Shared Plans”) sponsored by Honeywell which includes participants of other Honeywell subsidiariesoutside the U.S. are in Switzerland and operations. We accounted for our participation in the Shared Plans as multiemployer benefit plans. Accordingly, we did not record an asset or liability to recognize the funded status of the Shared Plans. The related pension expense was based on annual service cost of active Garrett participants and reported within Cost of goods sold in the Combined Statements of Operations. The pension expense specifically identified for the active Garrett participants in the Shared Plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1 million and $5 million, and $1 million and $5 million, respectively.

20


Additionally, we sponsored a funded defined benefit pension plan covering the majority of our employees and retirees in Ireland (the “Ireland Plan”).Ireland. Other pension plans sponsored byoutside the Company outside of IrelandU.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 $6 million has been contributed as of September 30, 2023.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through November 6, 2018, the date the Combined Interim Financial Statements were available to be issued.

On October 1, 2018, the Company became an independent publicly-traded company throughinterest cost components of net periodic benefit (income) cost by utilizing a pro rata distribution by Honeywell of 100% of the outstanding shares of Garrett to Honeywell’s stockholders. For additional details, refer to Note 1 Background and Basis of Presentation.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we also entered into an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell on September 12, 2018. As of the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, we are obligated to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix businessfull yield curve approach in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of this Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we are responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an amount equal to the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate determined by Honeywell as of a date within two business days prior to the date of the Distribution (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalent of $175 million in respect of such liabilities arising in any given calendar year.  The payments that we are required to make to Honeywell pursuant to the terms of this agreement will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

On September 12, 2018, we also entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Honeywell (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Honeywell and us after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax contests). The Tax Matters Agreement generally provides that, following the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, we are responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for all taxes, including income taxes, sales taxes, VAT and payroll taxes, relating to Garrett for all periods, including periods prior to the completion date of the Spin-Off. Among other items, as a result of the mandatory transition tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, one of our subsidiaries is required to make payments to a subsidiary of Honeywell in the amount representing the net tax liability of Honeywell under the mandatory transition tax attributable to us, as determined by Honeywell. We currently estimate that our aggregate payments to Honeywell with respect to the mandatory transition tax will be $240 million. Under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, we are required to pay this amount in Euros, without interest, in five annual installments, each equal to 8% of the aggregate amount, followed by three additional annual installments equal to 15%, 20% and 25% of the aggregate amount, respectively. In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides that we are required to indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law. Further, the Tax Matters Agreement also imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries (including restrictions on share issuances, redemptions or repurchases, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions) that are designed to address compliance with Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are intended to preserve the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off.

We also entered into several additional agreements with Honeywell that govern the future relationship between us and Honeywell and impose certain obligations on us following the Spin-Off, and which may cause us to incur new costs, including the following:

a Separation and Distribution Agreement;

a Transition Services Agreement;

an Employee Matters Agreement;

an Intellectual Property Agreement; and

a Trademark License Agreement.

A description of eachestimation of these agreements is includedcost components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 1, 2018.

On October 19, 2018, Honeywell disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the “Honeywell Form 10-Q”) that the Division of Enforcement of the SEC has opened an investigation into Honeywell’s prior accounting for liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. In addition, Honeywell noted that it revised certain previously-issued financial statements to correct the time period associated with the determination of appropriate accruals for legacy Bendix asbestos-related liability for unasserted claims. Our restated carve-out financial statements included in our Form 10 already contemplate these revisions, consistent with Honeywell’s previous disclosure in its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 23, 2018. The Indemnificationpension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows. This approach provides a more precise measurement of service and Reimbursement Agreement has not been amendedinterest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows and otherwise remains unchanged.

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 CombinedConsolidated Interim Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the audited annual CombinedConsolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 of the Transportation Systems Business of Honeywell International Inc.2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10,10-K, as amended and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2018February 14, 2023 (our “Form 10”“2022 Form 10-K”). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysisMD&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 Registration Statement2022 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10,10-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 the readeryou understand the results of operations and financial condition of Garrett Motion Inc., for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Unless2023.
Executive Summary
For the context otherwise requires, referencesthree months ended September 30, 2023, net sales were $960 million, an increase compared to “Garrett,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” refer to (i) Honeywell’s Transportation Systems Business (the “Transportation Systems Business”prior year of $15 million or the “Business”) prior to our spin-off2%, including a favorable impact of $21 million or 3% from Honeywell International Inc. (the “Spin-Off”) and (ii) Garrett Motion Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off, as applicable.

Overview and Business Trends

Garrett designs, manufactures and sells highly engineered turbocharger and electric-boosting technologiesforeign currency translation. The increase was driven by ramp up of new products in small gasoline engine applications, offset by unfavorable product mix dynamics from demand softness for lightdiesel and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and theapplications due to global macro economic conditions.

Light vehicle and independent aftermarket. These OEMs in turn ship to consumers globally. We are a global technology leader with significant expertise in delivering products across gasoline,product sales (which were comprised of diesel and electric (hybrid and fuel cell) powertrains. Thesegasoline products, are key enablersincluding products for fuel economy and emission standards compliance.

Market penetration of vehicles with a turbocharger is expected to increase from approximately 47% in 2017 to approximately 59% by 2022, according to IHS Markit (“IHS”)passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, and other industry sources, which we believe will allowproducts) accounted for approximately 70% of our business to grow at a faster rate than overall automobile production. The turbocharger market volume growth was particularly strong in Chinarevenues. Commercial vehicle product sales (products for on- and off- highway trucks, construction, agriculture and power-generation machines) accounted for 16% of our revenues, while aftermarket and other high-growth regions.

The growth trajectory for turbochargers is expectedproducts contributed 14% of our revenues. Approximately 45% of our revenues came from sales to continue, ascustomers located in Europe, 32% from sales to customers located in Asia, 21% from sales to customers in North America, and 2% from sales to customers in other international markets.

For the technology is onethree months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $161 million of Common Stock in connection with our share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2023, we had $72 million of the most cost-effective solutions for OEMs to address strict constraints for vehicle fuel efficiency and emissions standards. As a result, OEMs are increasing their adoptionauthorized repurchase value remaining under our share repurchase program.
On July 31, 2023, we made an early debt repayment in the amount of turbocharger technologies across gasoline and diesel engines as well as hybrid-electric and fuel cell vehicles. In recent years, we have also seen a shift in demand from diesel engines to gasoline engines.

In particular, the commercial vehicle OEM market and light vehicle gasoline markets in China and other high-growth regions have increased due to favorable economic conditions and rising income levels which have led to an increase in automotive and vehicle content demand. While we have recently observed a slowdown in China, we continue to expect an increase in future vehicle production utilizing turbocharger technologies as vehicle ownership remains well below ownership levels in developed markets.

Results of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Garrett to Honeywell’s stockholders. Each Honeywell stockholder of record received one share of Garrett common stock for every 10 shares of Honeywell common stock held on the record date. Approximately 74 million shares of Garrett common stock were distributed on October 1, 2018 to Honeywell stockholders. In connection with the separation, Garrett´s common stock began trading “regular-way” under the ticker symbol “GTX” on the New York Stock Exchange on October 1, 2018.

In connection with the separation, we entered into several agreements with Honeywell that govern the future relationship between us and Honeywell and impose certain obligations on us following the Spin-Off and which may cause us to incur new costs, including the following:

o

a Separation and Distribution Agreement;

o

a Transition Services Agreement;

o

an Employee Matters Agreement;

o

an Intellectual Property Agreement; and

o

a Trademark License Agreement.

A description of each of these agreements is included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 1, 2018.

In addition, we entered into an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement”) and a Tax Matters Agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) with Honeywell on September 12, 2018, each of which is described in this MD&A.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying historical Combined Interim Financial Statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Honeywell. These Combined Interim Financial Statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Business as they were historically managed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the historical combined financial information may not be indicative of our future performance and does not necessarily reflect what our combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the Business operated as a separate, publicly traded company during the periods presented, particularly because of changes that we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, in the future as a result of our separation from Honeywell, including changes in the financing, cash management, operations, cost structure and personnel needs of our business.

The Combined Interim Financial Statements include certain assets and liabilities that were held at the Honeywell corporate level prior to the Spin-Off but are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to the Business. Additionally, prior to the Spin-Off, Honeywell provided certain services, such as legal, accounting, information technology, human resources and other infrastructure support, on behalf of the Business. The cost of these services has been allocated to the Business on the basis of the proportion of revenues. We consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the benefits received by the Business. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Business had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. We consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefits received by the Business during the periods presented.

Subsequent to the completion of the Spin-Off, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, expenditures consisting of employee-related costs, costs to start up certain stand-alone functions and information technology systems, and other one-time transaction related costs. Recurring stand-alone costs include establishing the internal audit, treasury, investor relations, tax and corporate secretary functions as well as the annual expenses associated with running an independent publicly traded company including listing fees, compensation of non-employee directors, related board of director fees and other fees and expenses related to insurance, legal and external audit. Recurring stand-alone costs that differ from historical allocations may have an impact on profitability and operating cash flows but we believe the impact will not be significant. As a stand-alone public company, we do not expect our recurring stand-alone corporate costs to be materially higher than the expenses historically allocated to us from Honeywell.


Asbestos-Related and Environmental Liabilities

Our asbestos-related and environmental expenses, net of probable insurance recoveries, are reported within Other expense, net in our Combined Statement of Operations. Honeywell is subject to certain asbestos-related and environmental-related liabilities, primarily related to its legacy Bendix business. In conjunction with the Spin-Off, certain operations that were part of the Bendix business, along with the ownership of the Bendix trademark, as well as certain operations that were part of other legacy elements of the Business, were transferred to us. Our Combined Interim Financial Statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending and future asbestos-related and environmental liabilities related to these businesses, calculated as if we were responsible for 100% of the Bendix asbestos-liability payments. See Asbestos Matters in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Combined Interim Financial Statements for additional information. In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, under which we are required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of this Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we are responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an amount equal to the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate determined by Honeywell as of a date within two business days prior to the date of the Distribution (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) (the “Distribution Date Currency Exchange Rate”) equivalent of $175 million in respect of such liabilities arising in any given calendar year.  The payments that we are required to make to Honeywell pursuant to the terms of this agreement will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 (the “Honeywell Form 10-Q”) that2023, net sales increased compared to prior year by $15 million or 2%, including a favorable impact of $21 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation driven by higher Euro-to-US dollar exchange rates and partially offset by lower Chinese yuan-to-US dollar exchange rates. The increase was driven by ramp up of new products in small gasoline engine applications, offset by unfavorable product mix from demand softness for diesel and commercial vehicle applications due to global macro economic conditions.
Gasoline product sales increased by $40 million or 10% (including a favorable impact of $3 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to strong performance in Asia and North America related to product ramp-ups.
Diesel product sales decreased by $9 million or 4% (including a favorable impact of $12 million or 5% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by demand softness in India and China, due to program phase out and the Divisionnegative impact of Enforcementmacro economic dynamics, respectively.
Commercial vehicle sales decreased by $22 million or 13% (including a favorable impact of $2 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by demand softness influenced by the Securitiesglobal economic environment combined with inventory build-up by some customers during prior quarters.
Aftermarket sales improved by $3 million or 3% (including a favorable impact of $3 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation), primarily due to favorable aftermarket conditions and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has opened an investigation into Honeywell’s prior accountingdemand for liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. In addition, Honeywell noted that it revised certain previously-issued financial statements to correctreplacement parts in Europe and Asia Pacific, offset by softer sales in North America and Brazil.

Our restated carve-out financial statements included in our Form 10 already contemplate these revisions, consistent with Honeywell’s previous disclosure in its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 23, 2018. These revisions are also contemplated in our Combined Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

This increase was driven by higher volumes as markets recovered from the semiconductor shortages experienced in the prior year coupled with strong demand for new product launches and otherwise remains unchanged.

Priorramp ups, and inflation recoveries net of pricing across all product lines.

Gasoline product sales increased by $190 million or 17% (including an unfavorable impact of $25 million or 2% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by the industry recovery from prior year’s global semiconductor shortages and COVID-related lockdown measures in China combined with new product launches and ramp ups across all regions.
Diesel product sales increased by $22 million or 3% (including a favorable impact of $1 million or 0% due to foreign currency translation), driven by performance in Europe where diesel is essential to meet fleet CO2 regulations targets coupled with light commercial vehicle sales on incumbent platforms.
Commercial vehicle sales increased by $9 million or 2% (including an unfavorable impact of $8 million or 1% due to foreign currency translation), primarily driven by performance in North America and Europe on new product launches and combined with favorable global product mix dynamics.
Aftermarket sales improved by $14 million or 4%, primarily on strong demand in Europe and Asia Pacific related to favorable aftermarket conditions including the continued high demand for replacement parts. Recovery in China from the end of the Chinese government's zero COVID-19 policy as well as new product introductions and favorable pricing impact also contributed to the filinggrowth.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

The effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to tax benefits from an internal restructuring of Garrett’s business in advance of the Spin-Off that resulted in an $870 million reduction in tax expense and increased tax benefits attributable to currency impacts for withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings, partially offset by adjustments to the provisional tax amount related to U.S. tax reform.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

The effective tax rate decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to tax benefits from an internal restructuring of Garrett’s business in advance of the Spin-Off that resulted in an $880 million reduction in tax expense and increased tax benefits attributable to currency impacts for withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings, partially offset by adjustments to the provisional tax amount related to U.S. tax reform.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the resolution of tax matters with certain jurisdictions and non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted tax reform that instituted fundamental changes to the taxation of multinational corporations. As a result of the tax reform, we recorded a provisional tax charge at December 31, 2017 of $354 million2022 primarily related to the mandatory transition tax and $980 million related to taxes on undistributed foreign earnings that are no longer intended to be permanently reinvested. We recorded a provisional amount because certain information related to the computation of earnings and profits, distributable reserves, and foreign exchange gains and losses is not readily available; some of the testing dates to determine taxable amounts have not yet occurred; and there is limited information from federal and state taxing authorities regarding the application and interpretation of the recently enacted legislation. In accordance with current SEC guidance, we will report the impact of final provisional amountsprior year non-recurring decrease in the reporting period in which the accounting is completed, which will not exceed one year from the date of enactment of tax reform.

As described in our Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, we reasonably estimated certain effects of the tax legislation and, therefore, recorded provisional amounts, including the deemed repatriation transition tax and withholding taxes on undistributed earnings. Forearnings and nondeductible expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded an adjustment to the provisional tax amount related to the deemed repatriation transition taxprior year partially offset by increase in global research and development benefit and lower taxes on undistributed earningsnon-U.S. earnings.

In December 2022, the European Union reached an agreement to adopt the Minimum Tax Directive under Pillar Two. The agreement affirms that all Member States must transpose the Directive by December 31, 2023. The rules will therefore first be applicable for fiscal years starting on or after December 31, 2023. We will continue to monitor the implementation of $13 million and $(8) million, respectively. This adjustment resultsPillar Two in a net increase of $5 million to the countries in which we operate, as it is possible that such changes could materially impact our effective tax rate, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of 1.7%. We have not finalized the accounting for thecorporate tax effects of theliabilities and cash tax legislation as we are continuing to gather additional information and expect to complete our accounting within the prescribed measurement period.

Non-GAAP Measures

It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhancesupplement the understanding of our GAAP financial information,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 correspondingmost 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.

We evaluate performance on the basis of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define “EBITDA” as our net income (loss) 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 non-operating (income) expense, other expenses, net (which primarily consists of asbestos and environmental expenses), stock compensation expense, repositioning charges and foreign transaction losses (gains) on hedging instruments. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:

On a going forward basis, pursuant to the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we expect to be responsible for 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments primarily related to Honeywell’s legacy Bendix friction materials business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The amounts payable by us in respect of such liabilities arising in a given calendar year will be subject to a cap of $175 million.

Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment is calculated by subtracting Expenditures for property, plant and equipment from Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities. We believe it is a more conservative measure of cash flow because purchases of fixed assets are necessary for ongoing operations. We believe it is important to view Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment as a complement to our Combined statements of cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical Liquidity

Historically, we have generated positive cash flows from operations.

Honeywell Central Treasury Function

As partcertain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the Parent, weUnited States Code, to distinguish transactions and events that were dependent upon Honeywell for all of its working capital and financing requirements. Honeywell uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The majoritydirectly associated with the Company’s reorganization from the ongoing operations of the Business’s cash was transferredbusiness. Accordingly, certain expenses and gains incurred related to Honeywell dailythese transactions and Honeywell funded its operatingevents were recorded within Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.

Cash transfers toAgreements as well as third-party legal and from Honeywell’s cash management accountsadvisory fees that are reflected within Invested deficit.

We operated a centralized non-interest-bearing cash pool in U.S. and regional interest-bearing cash pools outside of the U.S. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had non-interest-bearing cash pooling balances of $0 million and $51 million, respectively, which are presented in Invested deficit within the Combined Balance Sheets. As part of the preparation for the Spin-Off, we delinked from U.S. and regional cash pools operated by Honeywell, which resulted in a significant decrease in Due from related parties and Due to related parties balances as of September 30, 2018.

All intracompany transactions have been eliminated. All significant transactions between the Business and Honeywell have been included in our Combined Interim Financial Statements and were settled for cash prior to the Spin-Off, with the exception of certain related party notes which were forgiven. The transactions that were expected to be settled for cash prior to the Spin-Off are reflected in the Combined Balance Sheets as Due from related parties or Due to related parties. In the Combined Statements of Cash Flows, the cash flows related to related party notes receivables presented in the Combined Balance Sheets in Due from related parties are reflected as investing activities since these balances represent amounts loaned to Parent. The cash flows related to related party notes payables presented in the Combined Balances in Due to related parties are reflected as financing activities since these balances represent amounts financed by Parent. For the related party notes, which were expected to be forgiven, the total net effect of the settlement of these transactions is reflected in the Combined Balance Sheets as Invested deficit and in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as financing activities.

The cash and cash equivalents held by Honeywell at the corporate level were not specifically identifiable to the Business and therefore were not allocated for any of the periods presented. Honeywell third-party debt and the related interest expense have not been allocated for any of the periods presented as Honeywell’s borrowings were not directly attributable to the Business.

We received interest income for related party notes receivables of $0 million and $1 million, and $0 and $0Transaction.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income decreased by $48 million versus the prior year as discussed above within the Results of Operations for Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 section.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $6 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to increased volume and productivity, and favorable foreign exchange impacts. These increases in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by unfavorable product mix and pricing net of inflation pass-through.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we saw product ramp-ups of new small engine applications in gasoline, offset by demand softening in diesel and commercial vehicle applications influenced by global macro economic dynamics which resulted in an unfavorable product mix.
The increased productivity combined with fixed cost savings was partially offset by year-over-year labor inflation.
R&D expenses increased $2 million which reflects continued investments in new technologies, increased hiring to accelerate growth in the new technologies and year-over-year labor inflation.

Gains in foreign currency from translational, transactional and hedging effects in the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by a higher Euro-to-US dollar exchange rate versus the prior-year period, also accounted for an $8 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Senior Credit Facilities

On September 27, 2018,2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement, by and among us, Garrett LX I S.à r.l., Garrett LX II S.à r.l. (“Lux Guarantor”), Garrett LX III S.à r.l. (“Lux Borrower”), Garrett Borrowing LLC (in such capacity, the “US Co-Borrower”), and Honeywell Technologies Sàrl (“Swiss Borrower” and, together with Lux Borrower and US Co-Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of approximately the Euro equivalent of $1,254 million, consisting of (i) a seven-year senior secured first-lien term B loan facility, which consists of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425 million (the “Term B Facility”), (ii) five-year senior secured first-lien term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €330 million (the “Term A Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) and (iii) a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of €430 million with revolving loans to Swiss Borrower, to be made availablesaw customer demand increases across all product lines, in a number of currenciesless disruptive supply chain environment, as the industry recovered from the semiconductor shortages experienced in the prior year. Favorable impact from new product launches in gasoline, volume ramp-ups in commercial vehicles, and favorable aftermarket conditions including Australian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, U.S. Dollarshigh demand for replacement parts, also contributed to Adjusted EBITDA during the period.

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 Yen (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). Eachsteel alloys. We recovered a majority of the Revolving Facilityincreases 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 Term A Facility matures five years after the effective dateimpact of the Credit Agreement,materials cost inflation. The increased productivity was partially offset by year-over-year labor inflation and increases in each case with certain extension rightsour SG&A expenses from higher incentive compensation expense.
R&D expenses increased $12 million reflecting continued investment in new technologies, including hiring, and year-over-year labor inflation.
Gains in foreign currency from translational, transactional and hedging effects in the discretion of each lender. The Term B Facility matures seven years after the effective date of the Credit Agreement, with certain extension rightsnine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by lower Euro-to-US dollar exchange rates, also accounted for a $6 million increase in the discretion of each lender.

The Senior Credit Facilities are subjectAdjusted EBITDA.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
We employ several means to an interest rate, atmanage our option, of either (a) base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1% per annum (“ABR”), (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero), or (c) an adjusted EURIBOR rate (“EURIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero), in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the U.S. Dollar tranche of the Term B Facility is currently 2.50% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.50% per annum (for ABR loans) while that for the euro tranche of the Term B Facility is currently 2.75% per annum (for EURIBOR loans). The applicable margin for each of the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility varies based on our leverage ratio. Accordingly, the interest rates for the Senior Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, LIBOR, EURIBOR or future changes in our leverage ratio. Interest payments with respect to the Term Loan 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.

We are obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the Term Loan Facilities according to the amortization provisions in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are prepayable at our option without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in connection with any repricing transaction with respect to the Term B Facility in the first six months after the effective date of the Credit Agreement. We may request to extend the maturity date of all or a portion of the Senior Credit Facilities subject to certain conditions customary for financings of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions in the event that we incur certain types of indebtedness or receive net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, in each case subject to terms and conditions customary for financings of this type.

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type that, among other things, limit ourliquidity, and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to disposesources of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to enter into restrictive agreements, to make certain investments, loans, advances, guaranteesfinancing include cash flows from operations, cash and acquisitions, to prepay certain indebtedness and to pay dividends, to make other distributions or redemptions/ repurchases, in respect of thecash equivalents, our and our subsidiaries’ equity interests, to engage in transactions with affiliates, amend certain material documents or to permit the International Financial Reporting Standards equity amount of Lux Borrower to decrease below a certain amount. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a consolidated total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.25 to 1.00 (with step-downs to (i) 4.00 to 1.00 in approximately 2019, (ii) 3.75 to 1.00 in approximately 2020 and (iii) 3.50 to 1.00 in approximately 2021), and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.75 to 1.00

Senior Notes

On September 27, 2018, we completed the offering of €350 million (approximately $400 million) in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed annual interest rate of 5.125% and mature on October 15, 2026.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 27, 2018 (the “Indenture”), which, among other things and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, limits our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain disqualified equity interests and preferred shares, (ii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock and make other restricted payments, (iii) make investments, (iv) consummate certain asset sales or transfers, (v) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (vi) grant or assume certain liens on assets to secure debt unless the


notes are secured equally and ratably (vii) restrict dividends and other payments by certain of their subsidiaries and (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our or our restricted subsidiaries’ assets.

Use of Proceeds from Senior Credit Facilities and Senior Notes

In connection with the consummation of the Spin-Off, Lux Borrower used all of the net proceeds of the Term B Facility to make three unsecured intercompany loans to Swiss Borrower. In addition, the subsidiary that issued the Senior Notes used all of the net proceeds of the Senior Notes to make a secured intercompany loan to Swiss Borrower. Swiss Borrower used the proceeds of the intercompany loans, as well as the net proceeds of the Term A Facility, which equal, in the aggregate, the Euro-equivalent of approximately $1.621 billion, to repay certain Euro-denominated intercompany notes to Honeywell or a subsidiary of Honeywell. We used a portion of the gross proceeds from the Term Loan Facilities, and Revolving Facility.

On April 27, 2023, the Senior Notes offeringCompany entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which provided for additional financing of $700 million through the 2023 Dollar Term Facility and an increase of $95 million in maximum borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. The proceeds from the 2023 Dollar Term Facility were primarily used to finance the repurchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the C&O Investors as part of the Transaction, and pay fees costs and expenses incurred in connection with the entry intoThird Amendment. The 2023 Dollar Term Facility matures on April 30, 2028. Prior to maturity, the Senior Credit Facilities and2023 Dollar Term Facility will be repaid quarterly in an amount equal to, during the consummationfirst two years occurring after the Closing Date, 7.50% per annum of the Senior Notes offering.

Future Liquidity

On a recurring basis, our primary future cash needs will be centered on operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, asbestosaggregate principal amount, and environmental compliance costs, and interest payments. Our ability to fund these needs will depend, in part,thereafter, 10.00% per annum. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repaid $200 million on our ability to generate or raise cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory2023 Dollar Term Facility and other factors that are beyond our control.

Following the separation from our Parent, our capital structure and sources of liquidity will change from its historical capital structure because we will no longer participate in Parent’s centralized cash management program. Our ability to fund our operating needs will depend$5 million on our future ability to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations and raise cash in2021 Dollar Term Facility.

As previously disclosed, the capital markets. Based upon our history of generating strong cash flows, we believe will be able to meet our short-term liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. We believe we will meet known or reasonably likely future cash requirements, through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances and available borrowings through our debt agreements. We expect that our primary cash requirements in 2018 will primarily be to fund capital expenditures and to meet our obligation under the debt instruments and the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement described below, as well as the Tax Matters Agreement. If these sources of liquidity need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed through the issuance of debt or equity securities; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms in the future.

Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement

On September 12, 2018, weCompany entered into the IndemnificationAgreements with the C&O Investors to repurchase certain shares and Reimbursement Agreement, under which we are required to make certain payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elementsconvert all remaining Series A Preferred Stock. As part of the Business,Transaction, all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we are responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap ofC&O Investors, received an amount equal to the Distribution Date Currency Exchange Rate (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalentAccumulated Dividends and Additional Amounts outstanding at repurchase or conversion date (each as defined in Note 15, Series A Preferred Stock of $175 million (exclusivethe Notes to the

Share Repurchase Program
On November 16, 2021, the Board of operations, regardlessDirectors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program for one year, providing for the purchase of whether we experience a decline in net sales. See “We are subject to risks associated withshares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. On November 2, 2022, the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, pursuant to which we are required to make substantial cash payments to Honeywell, measured in substantial part by reference to estimates by HoneywellBoard of certain of its liabilities.” In addition,Directors authorized the payments that we are required to make to Honeywell pursuant to the termsextension of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement provides that we are required to indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law.

The Tax Matters Agreement also imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries (including restrictions on share issuances, redemptions or repurchases, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions) that are designed to address compliance with Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are intended to preserve the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off.

Capital Expenditures

We believe our capital spending in recent years has been sufficient to maintain efficient production capacity, to implement important product and process redesigns and to expand capacity to meet increased demand. Productivity projects have freed up capacity in our manufacturing facilities and are expected to continue to do so. We expect to continue investing to expand and modernize our existing facilities and invest in our facilities to create capacity for new product development.

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 CombinedConsolidated 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 summarized in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Registration Statement on2022 Form 10. As of September 30, 2018, there were no significant changes to any of our critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2018, we adopted new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under that guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance.

See Note 4, Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Combined Interim Financial Statements for further details.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted a new accounting standard that resulted in the components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost other than service costs to no longer be presented in Cost of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses, but to instead be presented within Non-operating (income) expense.  

On September 27,2018, we early adopted the new accounting guidance contained in Accounting Standards Update 2017-12 on a modified retrospective approach. The new standard is intended to improve and simplify rules relating to hedge accounting, including the elimination of periodic hedge ineffectiveness, recognition of components excluded from hedge effectiveness assessment, the ability to elect to perform subsequent effectiveness assessments qualitatively, and other provisions designed to provide more transparency around the economics of a company’s hedging strategy.

Item 3. Quantitative and QualitativeQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates. These exposures may impact future earnings and/or operating cash flows. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and transactions arising from international trade.

As part of Honeywell´s centralized treasury function, the primary objective was to preserve the U.S. Dollar value of foreign currency denominated cash flows and earnings. The historical treasury strategies implemented by Honeywell’s centralized treasury function may differ from our future treasury strategies as a standalone company.

We hedge currency exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign currency exchange forward contracts (foreign currency exchange contracts). We hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Prior to conversion into U.S. dollars, these assets and liabilities are remeasured at spot exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. The effects of changes in spot rates are recognized in earnings and included in Non-operating (income) expense. Open foreign currency exchange contracts (excluding the below cross-currency swap) mature in the next two months.  At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had contracts with notional amounts of $812 million and $928 million, respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, New Romanian Leu, Australian Dollars and Korean Won.

On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into a floating-floating cross-currency swap contract to hedge the foreign currency exposure from foreign currency-denominated debt. The contract is designated as a foreign currency fair value hedge for accounting purposes and will mature on September 27, 2025. Accordingly, the gain or loss on this derivative instrument is recognized in earnings and included in Non-operating (income) expense. The change in fair value of the cross-currency swap attributable to the cross-currency basis spread are excluded from the fair value hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded separately within Currency Basis Reserve as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, gains recorded in Non-operating (income) expense, under the cross-currency swap contract were $13 million. Gains and losses attributable to the cross-currency basis spread of $3 million were deferred to Other Comprehensive Income for the period ended September 30, 2018. The balance of the cross-currency basis spread of $3 million is included in the carrying value of the cross-currency swap contract of $10 million - the application of fair value hedge accounting had no effect on the carrying value of the hedged liability.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,2023, the net fair value of all financial instruments with exposure to currency risk was approximately a $11$77 million asset and a $37 million liability, respectively.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 approximately $(54)$141 million and $66$(150) million, respectively, at September 30, 2018 and $(121) million and $65 million at December 31, 2017.2023 exchange rates. The model assumes a parallel shift in currency exchange rates; however, currency
37



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.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure

There have been no other material changes to risk based on changesthe Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about interest rate or commodity price risks as disclosed in interest rates relates primarily to our Credit Agreement. We have not used derivative financial instrumentsPart II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, in our investment portfolio. The Credit Agreement bears interest at floating rates. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt assuming all other factors remain constant, but do impact future earnings and cash flows. Accordingly, we may be exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Had our borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2018 been outstanding for the whole of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, a 25 basis point increase (decrease) in interest rates would have increased (decreased) our interest expense by $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to the amount of interest that would have been incurred in such period based on the rates of interest in effect at September 30, 2018. For additional information regarding our Credit Agreement, see Note 9 Long-term Debt and Credit Agreements of the notes to the Combined Interim Financial Statements.

Commodity Price Risk

While we are exposed to commodity price risk, we pass through abnormal changes in component and raw material costs to our customers based on the contractual terms of our arrangements. In limited situations, we may not be fully compensated for such changes in costs.

2022 Form 10-K.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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.

As previously disclosed in our Registration Statement on Form 10, first filed with the SEC on August 23, 2018, in connection with preparing for the Spin-Off from Honeywell, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified in August 2018 related to the estimation in the liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. Our financial statements in periods prior to the Spin-Off were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Honeywell. In the course of preparing for the Spin-Off, Honeywell reassessed its accounting for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims to reflect the epidemiological projections through 2059 in its measurement of such liability. This matter also affected our financial statements included in the Form 10. As a result, our financial statements included in the Form 10 were restated as described in Note 1, and a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified related to a deficiency of internal controls for the estimation of probable and reasonably estimable liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectivenessconducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, (asas such term is defined in Rulesunder Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)promulgated under the Exchange Act) and, as a result of the foregoing,Act. Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

We note that, during the period covered by this evaluation, the Company was still a part of Honeywell. For periods beginning on and after October 1, 2018 (the effective date of the Spin-Off from Honeywell), the Company’s combined financial statements will no longer reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending and future asbestos-related and environmental liabilities. Instead, the combined financial statements for such periods will reflect the impact of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell, under which we are required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of this Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we are responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an amount equal to the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate determined by Honeywelllevel as of a date within two business days prior to the date of the Distribution (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalent of $175 million in respect of such liabilities arising in any given calendar year.  See Note 1 Background and Basis of Presentation.

September 30, 2023.

There were no changes in the Company’sour 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 September 30, 20182023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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.

Additionally, in connection with

For additional information regarding our entry intolegal proceedings, see Note 20, Commitments and Contingenciesof the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, we will be required to make payments to Honeywell for a certain amount of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily relatedNotes to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities.
