“Garrett delivered solid Q3 financial results through productivity gains and operational excellence which successfully offset headwinds from currency and product mix. We also introduced our largest turbo yet, the GT80, enabling us to better serve our industrial and off-highway customers, and reflecting our strategy of continuing investment in our industrial turbo business. Further momentum continues to build across our differentiated zero emission vehicle products; we received two new pre-development awards in E-Cooling. Additionally, we repaid $200 million of debt and repurchased $161 million of our stock in line with our capital allocation priorities," said Olivier Rabiller, Garrett President and CEO.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $960 million, representing an increase of 2% (including a favorable impact of $21 million or 3% due to foreign currency translation) compared with $945 million in the third quarter of 2022. This increase was driven by foreign currency translational impacts and ramp up of new products in small gasoline engines applications. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable product mix from demand softness for diesel and commercial vehicle applications due to global macroeconomic conditions.
Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 2023 was $784 million compared with $767 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by $12 million of higher sales volumes, $5 million of unfavorable product mix and $2 million of Research and Development ("R&D") costs reflecting Garrett's continued investment in new technologies and headcount increase year-over-year. Cost of goods sold further increased by $10 million due to foreign currency impacts from transactional, translational and hedging effects, offset by a decrease of $12 million due to the Company's continued focus on productivity, net of labor inflation and repositioning costs.
Gross profit totaled $176 million for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $178 million in the third quarter of 2022, with a gross profit percentage for the third quarter of 2023 of 18.3% as compared to 18.8% in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by $23 million of unfavorable product mix, $5 million of pricing net of inflation recoveries from customer pass-through agreements, and $2 million R&D costs as discussed above. These decreases were partially offset by $12 million of higher productivity net of labor inflation and repositioning costs, and higher sales volumes of $5 million.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2023 increased to $59 million from $57 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase compared with the prior year was mainly due to $2 million in legal and advisory fees related to Garrett's capital structure transformation transactions and $1 million of labor inflation.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2023 was $50 million as compared to $18 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by $25 million of higher interest expense from our new $700 million term loan B (the "2023 Dollar Term Facility") and increased market interest rates, and $10 million of debt issuance cost amortization primarily due to the $200 million early repayment of the 2023 Dollar Term Facility.
Non-operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $4 million as compared to $29 million in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to a decrease of interest income recognized in the prior year for unrealized marked-to-market gains on the Company's interest rate swaps.
Tax expense for the third quarter of 2023 was $13 million as compared to $26 million in the third quarter of 2022, driven by lower income before taxes and a lower effective tax rate. The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily related to an increase in global R&D benefits, lower taxes on non-U.S. earnings partially offset by nondeductible expenses and prior year non-recurring decrease in withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.
Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $57 million as compared to $105 million in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to $32 million of higher interest expense as discussed above and $25 million of lower non-operating income, partially offset by $13 million of lower tax expense.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $74 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $61 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to favorable changes in working capital of $17 million, and other accrued assets and liabilities of $5 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $9 million in net income excluding non-cash charges.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $152 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $146 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly due to higher volume, improved productivity, as well as favorable foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by unfavorable product mix and inflation pass-through net of pricing.
Adjusted free cash flow, which excludes capital structure transformation expenses, cash paid for repositioning and factoring costs, was $57 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $120 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in adjusted free cash flow was primarily due to a $69 million usage of working capital (net of factoring) and higher cash paid on interest, driven by the 2023 Dollar Term Facility and increased interest rates. This was partially offset by lower payments for capital expenditures and taxes, as well as favorable impacts from other assets and liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30 2023, Garrett had $732 million in available liquidity, including $162 million in cash and cash equivalents and $570 million of undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, Garrett had $1,048 million in available liquidity, including $478 million in cash and cash equivalents and $570 million undrawn commitments under its revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2023, total principal amount of debt outstanding amounted to $1,677 million, down from $1,891 million as of June 30, 2023, primarily due to the $200 million early debt repayment during the third quarter of 2023.
During the third quarter of 2023, we repurchased $161 million of common stock under our authorized share repurchase program and we had remaining repurchase capacity of $72 million as of September 30, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, our repurchases of common stock were $17 million and we had remaining repurchase capacity of $233 million as of June 30, 2023.

We define “EBITDA” as our net income 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 net reorganization items, stock compensation expense, repositioning costs, discounting costs on factoring, other non-operating income and capital structure transformation expenses. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation expenses and therefore more closely measure our operational performance; and
- 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.
In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align performance measurement with operational performance.
(2) The Company applied ASC 852 for periods subsequent to September 20, 2020, the date the Company and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, to distinguish transactions and events that were directly associated with the Company’s reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses and gains incurred related to these transactions and events were recorded within Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.
(3) Stock compensation expense includes only non-cash expenses.
(4) Repositioning costs includes severance costs related to restructuring projects to improve future productivity.
(5) Reflects the non-service component of net periodic pension costs and other income that are non-recurring or not considered directly related to the Company's operations.
(6) Includes the loss on remeasurement of the agreements to repurchase shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock from certain of the Company's investors in connection with the Company's capital structure transformation transactions, well as third-party legal and advisory fees that are directly attributable to such transactions.
(7) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
