Analysis

The stock surged +25.0% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with Garrett’s pattern of rewarding solid earnings and outlook raises. Q1 2026 delivered net sales of $985M, net income of $95M and $49M in adjusted free cash flow, while lifting 2026 net sales guidance to $3.6–$3.9B. Past earnings with upgraded outlooks also saw gains, but prior volatility around guidance changes suggests moves can retrace if execution or market conditions weaken.

Recent Company History

Across the last four earnings events from Jul 2024 to Jul 2025, Garrett mixed periods of revenue pressure with margin resilience and consistent capital returns. The company twice raised or reaffirmed full‑year outlooks while expanding adjusted profitability and executing sizeable share repurchases and dividends. Occasional guidance reductions in 2024 led to negative price reactions, but strong 2025 quarters with upgraded outlooks and electrification wins were rewarded with solid gains, framing today’s raised 2026 outlook in a continuing pattern.

Key Terms

adjusted ebit, adjusted ebitda, adjusted free cash flow, non-gaap financial measures, +4 more
8 terms
adjusted ebit financial
"Adjusted EBIT* totaled $151 million; Adjusted EBIT margin* of 15.3%"
Adjusted EBIT is a company’s operating profit before interest and taxes, but cleaned up by removing one-time or unusual items that can obscure ongoing performance. Investors use it like a tidied-up report card — it aims to show the underlying profitability of the business by excluding irregular gains, losses, or costs so comparisons across periods or companies are clearer and more meaningful for valuing operational strength.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA* | | 183 | | 159"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
adjusted free cash flow financial
"Adjusted free cash flow* totaled $49 million"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
non-gaap financial measures financial
"This communication includes the following non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
cash flow hedges financial
"Changes in fair value of effective cash flow hedges, net of tax"
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label companies use when they enter financial contracts—like currency or interest-rate agreements—to protect expected future cash payments or receipts from unpredictable moves. For investors, it signals that the company is trying to smooth out future cash variability (think of locking in a price to avoid surprises), which can reduce reported profit swings but also means the company has exposure to derivative instruments and their associated risks.
net investment hedges financial
"Changes in fair value of net investment hedges, net of tax"
A net investment hedge is a financial step a company takes to protect the reported value of its ownership in foreign subsidiaries from swings in exchange rates. By using derivatives or foreign‑currency borrowings to offset translation gains or losses, the company reduces how much its balance sheet and reported equity jump around when currencies move — like locking a price tag on a foreign store so its value in the home currency stays steadier for investors.
restricted stock units financial
"partial vesting of previously granted restricted stock units."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
long-term incentive plan financial
"under the company’s 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan in lieu of cash compensation"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $985 million, representing an increase of 12% (including a favorable impact of $58 million or 6% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $878 million in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was driven by higher demand across all verticals. The increase in gasoline and diesel was driven by new application launches and program ramp-ups, while the increase in commercial vehicles/industrial was primarily driven by growth in all key regions, as well as continued industrial growth. Additionally, strong demand for Aftermarket sales drove a favorable product mix. Recoveries of import tariffs and favorable foreign currency impacts also contributed to increased Net sales.

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2026 increased to $789 million from $699 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by $42 million from higher sales volumes, $40 million from foreign currency impacts, $7 million of lower productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs, $6 million from import tariffs and $4 million of unfavorable product mix. These increases were partially offset by $7 million of lower RD&E costs and $2 million from commodity, transportation and energy deflation.

Gross profit totaled $196 million for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $179 million in the first quarter of 2025, with a gross profit percentage for the first quarter of 2026 of 19.9% as compared to 20.4% in the first quarter of 2025. This increase in gross profit was driven by $19 million from higher sales volumes, $18 million from favorable foreign currency impacts, $7 million of lower RD&E costs, $4 million of favorable product mix and $2 million from commodity, transportation and energy deflation. These benefits were partially offset by $21 million of lower productivity net of labor deflation and repositioning costs, $11 million of pricing net of inflation pass-through and $1 million of import tariffs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2026 decreased to $58 million from $59 million in the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was driven by $3 million of lower professional services, $2 million of bad debt recovery and $1 million of lower personnel costs, partially offset by $5 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts.

Other expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $1 million as compared to $7 million in the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by professional fees incurred in the prior year related to the refinancing of our term loan and revolving credit facility.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $27 million as compared to $29 million in the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to $3 million in lower interest expense due to a different notional amount of debt outstanding during the period.

Non-operating income for the first quarter of 2026 was $8 million as compared to $1 million in the first quarter of 2025, with the increase driven by the resolution of certain environmental liabilities and foreign exchange transactional gains.

Tax expense for the first quarter of 2026 of $23 million was consistent with the first quarter of 2025, despite higher earnings in the first quarter of 2026, primarily because of a decrease in U.S. taxes on international operations, the global mix of earnings, and deductions related to employee share-based compensation.

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $95 million as compared to $62 million in the first quarter of 2025 primarily driven by $17 million of increased gross profit, $7 million of higher non-operating income, $6 million of lower other expense, net, $2 million of lower interest expense and $1 million of lower SG&A expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $98 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $56 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $42 million. The increase was primarily driven by $21 million of higher net income net of non-cash charges, $18 million of favorable impacts from working capital changes and $3 million of favorable impacts from changes in other assets and liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBIT increased to $151 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $131 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase of $20 million was driven by $19 million from higher volumes, $13 million of favorable foreign currency impacts, $7 million of lower RD&E costs, $4 million of favorable product mix impacts and $2 million of commodity, transportation and energy deflation. These increases were partially offset by $14 million of lower productivity and $11 million of pricing net of inflation pass-through.

Adjusted free cash flow was $49 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $36 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $20 million of higher Adjusted EBIT partially offset by $5 million of unfavorable impacts from working capital changes (net of factoring), $3 million of higher capital expenditures and $3 million of higher cash interest.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication and related comments by management may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements represent our current judgment about possible future activities, events, or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future. In making these statement, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future performance, events, or results, and actual performance, events, or results may differ materially from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, many of which are described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including risks related to the automotive industry, the competitive landscape and our ability to compete, and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, among others. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statement, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication includes the following non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”): Constant currency sales growth, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted free cash flow. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and analysis of ongoing operating trends and are important indicators of operating performance because they exclude the effects of certain non-operating items, therefore making them more closely reflect our operational performance. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related GAAP measure, are set forth in the Appendix to this presentation. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related GAAP measures. For additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.​

(1)    We evaluate performance on the basis of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. We define “EBIT” as our net income calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of (i) interest expense net of interest income and (ii) tax expense. We define Adjusted EBIT as EBIT, plus the sum of (i) repositioning costs, (ii) foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gain/loss, (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, and (vii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, if any. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBIT, plus the sum of (i) repositioning costs, (ii) foreign exchange (gain) loss on debt net of related hedging gain/loss, (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, and (vii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, if any, plus (viii) depreciation and (ix) stock compensation expense. We believe that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:

  • Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing activities by eliminating the effects of interest;
  • certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of our results; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of investing activities by eliminating the effects of depreciation.

In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.

(2)    Reflects interest income of $1 million and $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(3)         Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension income and, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, also includes $5 million related to the resolution of certain environmental liabilities not directly related to the Company's operations.

(4) Reflects third-party costs directly attributable to the refinancing of our credit facilities and any amendments.

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

(6)    Adjusted EBIT margin represents Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net sales.

(7)    Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
