Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 12 | Marine MEG turbo launch | Positive | -1.0% | Announced first commercial application of MEG turbo platform with Weichai. |
| Feb 02 | HVAC tech launch | Positive | +1.1% | Unveiled oil-free centrifugal compressor portfolio targeting HVAC energy savings. |
| Feb 02 | Trane collaboration | Positive | +1.1% | Announced strategic collaboration with Trane for ultra-efficient HVAC systems. |
| Jan 30 | Ferrari F1 partnership | Positive | -1.1% | Renewed technical partnership to supply next-gen turbo for Ferrari F1 power unit. |

Recent product and partnership announcements often saw mixed or modest price reactions, with both aligned and divergent moves versus generally positive news.
Over the past month, Garrett has highlighted multiple technology and partnership milestones, including marine MEG turbo applications on Feb 12, 2026, HVAC compressor innovations and a Trane collaboration on Feb 2, 2026, and a renewed Scuderia Ferrari HP partnership on Jan 30, 2026. An earlier notice on Jan 16, 2026 set expectations for the Q4 2025 results call. Today’s full-year 2025 results and 2026 outlook update build on this trajectory of product expansion and strategic collaborations.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is down -6.5% following this news. A negative reaction despite Garrett’s 2025 growth in net sales to $3,584 million and Adjusted EBIT of $510 million would fit a pattern where positive announcements sometimes met with selling. Investors may focus on margin trends, cash flow versus expectations, or the 2026 guidance ranges. Past news flow shows both aligned and divergent reactions, so sharp downside could reflect sentiment or positioning rather than a simple read-through on fundamentals.

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 gains (loss), (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, (vii) capital structure transformation expenses, (viii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 gains (loss), (iii) discounting costs on factoring, (iv) gain on sale of equity investment, (v) acquisition and divestiture expenses, (vi) other non-operating income, (vii) capital structure transformation expenses, (viii) debt refinancing and redemption costs, and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt, if any, plus (x) depreciation and (xi) 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 EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.
(2) Reflects interest income of
(3) Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension costs and other income that are not considered directly related to the Company's operations.
(4) Reflects the 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.
