GTX’s Q1 Highlights
In the first quarter of 2025, GTX’s adjusted EPS of 30 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents and increased from 28 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The company reported net sales of $878 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $843 million. The top line, however, fell 4% year over year.
Things to Note Ahead of GTX’s Q2 Results
Garrett has been experiencing growing demand for turbocharged range-extended EVs and plug-in hybrids. It has secured three new contracts in China and North America in this segment. The company has been also gaining new commercial vehicle program wins in Europe and China.
In the first quarter of 2025, Garrett improved its adjusted EBIT margin to 14.9%, up from 13.2% in the same period of 2024. This margin growth indicates the ongoing benefits of the strategic cost-saving measures implemented in 2024.
However, the company expects capital expenditure in 2025 to be 2.8% of sales, up from 2.6% of sales in 2024. While rising capital expenditure bodes well for the company’s long-term prospects, this is likely to hurt its cash flow in the near term.
Increased demand and new program wins, along with expanding EBIT margin, are likely to have boosted the company’s performance in the second quarter. Rising capex is likely to have hurt its cash flows.
