Reports Q4 revenue $945M vs. $898M last year. “Garrett delivered great performance in 2023, with a strong fourth quarter close achieving full-year performance above midpoint guidance across all financial metrics with record Net sales, a strong Net income and record Adjusted EBITDA,” said Garrett President and CEO, Olivier Rabiller. “We accomplished this while simplifying our capital structure, de-levering, and executing share repurchases, demonstrating our ability to generate and deploy cash in a wise and impactful way for our shareholders. Importantly, we have strengthened our leadership position. During 2023, Garrett expanded its turbo offerings in hybrid and alternative fuel applications, winning two additional high-volume applications for electric compressors and launching our first Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine application for commercial vehicles. At the same time, we are building momentum with our zero emission technologies through differentiated breakthrough solutions for electric vehicles in high-speed powertrain, game changing centrifugal E-Cooling compressors, and the broadest range of fuel cell compressors in the industry. We remain committed to our target of $1 billion of revenue from zero emission technologies by 2030. Looking ahead to 2024, we expect a flat to down environment for the industry and to deliver financial performance in line with 2023 all while growing our funding for innovation and zero emissions products. This reaffirms Garrett’s commitment to perform in stable and challenging times. Additionally, today we are announcing the authorization of a new share repurchase program of $350 million for 2024 supported by our continued strong cash flow generation.”
