NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1 – The Company and Subsequent Events

Gentherm Incorporated is a global technology and industry leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of innovative thermal management technologies. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” used herein refer to Gentherm Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies in order to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities and to identify future climatic comfort product opportunities in both automotive and other markets. We concentrate our research on the development of new technologies that will improve overall product effectiveness and customer satisfaction. We also focus on developing new design applications from our existing technologies to create new products and market opportunities for thermal comfort solutions.

Buyout of Joint Venture Partner

On February 12, 2014 we acquired all of the previously unowned shares in our North American electronics manufacturing joint venture which had previously been accounted for under the equity method. The purchase was accounted for using the acquisition method and resulted in a gain of $785.

Global Thermoelectric

On April 1, 2014, we acquired all of the stock of privately-held Global Thermoelectric Inc. (“GTE”), in an all-cash transaction. GTE is the global market leader and developer of thermoelectric generators. GTE’s world headquarters and manufacturing operations are located in Alberta, Canada. See Note 3, “Global Thermoelectric Acquisition” for additional information regarding GTE.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date that our consolidated financial statements are issued. No events have taken place that meet the definition of a subsequent event requiring adjustments to or disclosures in this filing.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been included. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 was developed to enable financial statement users to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update’s core principal is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies are to use a five-step contract review model to ensure revenue gets recognized, measured and disclosed in accordance with this principal.

ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented or to disclose the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. Gentherm is developing a plan to complete the five-step contract review process for all existing contracts with customers. We are still in the process of determining the impact the implementation of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements – Continued

Share-Based Payments

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This update provides guidance on the treatment of awards containing performance targets that affect vesting and that could be achieved after an employee’s requisite service period. The update states that these types of performance targets should be treated as a performance condition and, therefore, not reflected in estimating the fair value of the award at the grant date. Compensation cost shall be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service period has been rendered. Should the probability of achievement occur before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost shall be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total compensation cost reflects the number of awards expected to vest and shall be adjusted to reflect when those awards ultimately vest.

ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Gentherm has not assigned specific performance targets to share-based awards that are currently outstanding and, therefore, it is unlikely this update will materially impact the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 – Global Thermoelectric Acquisition

GTE develops, manufactures and sells thermoelectric and non-thermoelectric systems and related products. The principal application for these technologies include natural gas well and pipeline protection systems and remote power generation for instrumentation, automation and telecommunication systems.

Results of operations for GTE are included in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements beginning April 1, 2014. GTE contributed $8,174 in product revenues and an operating loss of $42 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.

Purchase Price Allocation

The purchase price of approximately $34,163, net of cash acquired of $3,061, has been allocated to the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 1, 2014. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary. The Company is in the process of obtaining additional information required to finalize the valuation. An appraisal will be completed to assist management in determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than the preliminary allocation recorded. The purchase price allocation is expected to be finalized by December 31, 2014. The preliminary allocation as of April 1, 2014 was as follows:

Accounts receivable	$
Inventory	6,487
Deferred income tax assets, net	3,499
Order backlog	815
Prepaid expenses and other assets	258
Property and equipment	716
Customer relationships	5,524

Trade name	725
Goodwill	6,601
Assumed liabilities	(6,530	)
Net assets acquired	31,102
Cash acquired	3,061
Purchase price	$ 34,163

The gross contractual amount due of accounts receivable is $10,306 of which $106 is expected to be uncollectible.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

The unaudited pro forma combined historical results for the amounts of GTE’s revenue and earnings that would have been included in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of income had the acquisition date been January 1, 2014 or January 1, 2013 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, — 2013	Six Months Ended June 30, — 2014	2013
Product revenues	$ 170,846	$ 413,131	$ 325,084
Net income	4,533	34,880	11,824

The pro forma information includes adjustments for the effect of the amortization of intangible assets recognized in the acquisition. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Goodwill

We recorded goodwill of approximately $6,601 arising from the acquisition. It is estimated that none of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible Assets

In conjunction with the acquisition, intangible assets of $9,871 were recorded. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of these assets at the time of the acquisition is preliminary and will be determined with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm. As part of the estimated valuation, an estimated useful life for the assets was determined.

Intangible assets, net consisted of the following (balances are higher as of June 30, 2014 than as of April 1, 2014, the acquisition date, due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates totaling $362):

	June 30, 2014 — Gross Value	Accumulated Amortization		Net Value	Useful Life
Customer relationships	$ 5,727	$ (119	)	$ 5,608	12 yrs

Trade name	751	(54	)	697	3.5 yrs
Total	$ 10,233	$ (668	)	$ 9,565

Amortization expense of $649 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 respectively, was recorded as follows:

Note 4 – Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share give effect to all potential common shares outstanding during a period that do not have an anti-dilutive impact to the calculation. In computing the diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the conversion of Common Stock equivalents.

The following summarizes the common shares included in the basic and diluted shares, as disclosed on the face of the consolidated condensed statements of income:

2014	2013	2014	2013
Weighted average number of shares for calculation of basic EPS – Common Stock	35,360,957	32,658,311	35,213,135	33,698,083
Stock option under the 2006, 2011 and 2013 Equity Incentive Plans	732,643	508,917	628,093	445,175
Weighted average number of shares for calculation of diluted EPS	36,093,600	33,167,228	35,841,228	34,143,258

The accompanying table represents Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of certain stock options and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that have been excluded from the diluted earnings calculation because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no issued and outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

2014	2013	2014	2013
Stock options outstanding under the 2006, 2011 and 2013 Equity Incentive Plans	—	58,000	—	58,000

Note 5 – Segment Reporting

As part of the initiative to integrate the operations of historical Gentherm and W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG (“W.E.T.”) (now known as Gentherm GmbH), changes were made during the first quarter of 2014 to Gentherm’s structure of internal organization. Gentherm no longer treats the operations of historical Gentherm and W.E.T. as separate segments.

As discussed in Note 3, Gentherm acquired GTE on April 1, 2014. The acquisition enhances key elements of the Company’s business strategy by expanding the breadth of products derived from core thermal technologies as well as the markets in which they are applied. The chief operating decision maker evaluates Company resources and analyzes the operational performance of GTE separate from the automotive segment. The Company evaluated the significance of the GTE acquisition and determined it did not meet the thresholds to be presented in a separate and distinct segment. Therefore, the combined results of GTE and the advanced research and product development division (formally known as the Advanced Technology segment) represent a reporting segment for the Company. These changes to the internal organization structure are reflected in the financial information used by our chief operating decision maker to allocate Company resources and assess operating performance.

Corporate reconciling items include certain selling, general and administrative costs previously reflected in the W.E.T. segment.

Management evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based primarily on operating income or loss.

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

Note 7 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Our hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. We record the ineffective portion of hedging instruments, if any, to other income (expense) in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Though we continuously monitor the hedging program, derivative positions and hedging strategies, foreign currency forward exchange agreements have not always been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement

The Company bases fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We have adopted a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Except for derivative instruments, pension liabilities and pension plan assets, the Company has no financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value at June 30, 2014 and 2013. The carrying amounts of financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value because interest charged on the loan balance is variable. See Note 7, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for information regarding the fair value of derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Certain Company assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not realize any changes to the fair value of these assets due to events that negatively impacted their recoverability.

General

Gentherm is a global technology and industry leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of innovative thermal management technologies and cable systems. We operate in locations aligned with our major customers’ product strategies in order to provide locally enhanced design, integration and production capabilities and identify future climatic comfort product opportunities in both automotive and other markets. We concentrate our research on the development of new technologies that will improve overall product effectiveness and customer satisfaction. New design applications of our existing technologies help us to create new product and market opportunities for thermal comfort solutions.

We operate as a Tier II supplier to the auto industry. Inherent in this market are costs and commitments well in advance of the receipt of orders (and resulting revenues) from customers. This is due in part to automotive manufacturers requiring the design, coordination and testing of proposed new components and systems. Revenues from these expenditures may not be realized for two to three years as the manufacturers tend to group new components and enhancements into annual or every two to three year vehicle model introductions. These customers in turn sell our product, as a component of an entire seat or seating system, to automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

On April 1, 2014, we acquired all of the stock of privately-held Global Thermoelectric Inc. Global Thermoelectric is a global market leader and developer of thermoelectric generators. The principal application for Global Thermoelectric’s products include natural gas well and pipeline protection systems and remote power generation for instrumentation, automation and telecommunication systems.

As part of the initiative to integrate the operations of historical Gentherm and W.E.T., changes were made to Gentherm’s structure of internal organization. The financial information used by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources reflects the changes brought about through this initiative. See Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements included herein for a further description of our reportable segments, including segment information about the reported product revenues and operating income of the Company for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

We internally manufacture a large portion of our products at our production facilities. Other products we sell are manufactured by third parties. Our primary manufacturing locations are in Mexico, China and the Ukraine, all countries that have historically experienced a heightened degree of political, civil and labor uncertainty. Recent demonstrations and related violence in the Ukraine in particular highlight this risk to our manufacturing process. Although our manufacturing facility in the Ukraine is located in the far eastern part of the country and approximately 700 miles by road from Kiev, and approximately the same distance from the activities along the border of Ukraine and Russia, we cannot be certain that similar demonstrations, unrest and international tensions will not affect our facility. Furthermore, most of our products manufactured in the Ukraine are shipped across the border from the Ukraine to Hungary for further delivery to our customers. If that border crossing were to be closed for any reason, we would essentially experience a loss of the use of our Ukraine facility, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Approximately 24% of our revenues are derived from products manufactured at our Ukraine facility.

Second Quarter 2014 Compared with Second Quarter 2013

Product Revenues . Product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (“Second Quarter 2014”) were $206,182,000 compared with product revenues of $160,520,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 (“Second Quarter 2013”), an increase of $45,662,000, or 28%. Higher revenue was primarily driven by continued strong shipments of climate controlled seat systems (“CCS”) and due to the revenue from Global Thermoelectric Inc., which was acquired on April 1, 2014, totaling $8,174,000. CCS revenue increased by $23,200,000, or 37%, to approximately $85,200,000, during the Second Quarter 2014. This increase was partially the result of new program launches since Second Quarter 2013 and by strong production volumes and sales of the vehicles equipped with CCS systems, particularly vehicles in the luxury segment of the automotive market. Additionally, certain vehicles that have been redesigned since the Second Quarter 2013 are experiencing very strong production and sales levels, including the General Motors full size SUV platform (“K2XX”) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Our seat heater revenue also increased by approximately $11,100,000, or 16%, to approximately $81,700,000. This reflected market penetration on certain vehicle programs and also the strong production volumes on General Motors’ K2XX platform. We also have significant growth in our heated steering wheel heater product which showed an increase of $2,600,000, or 40%, to approximately $8,900,000. Our European based sales were significantly higher than the prior year as local economies and car sales in that region continue to improve. Foreign currency translation of our Euro denominated product revenue for Second Quarter 2014, which was €39,248,000 versus €35,454,000 during Second Quarter 2013, increased our product revenues by approximately $2,600,000 or 1.3%. The average US Dollar/Euro exchange rate for Second Quarter 2014 was 1.3715 versus 1.3056 for Second Quarter 2013.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $145,425,000 in Second Quarter 2014 from $120,368,000 in Second Quarter 2013. This increase of $25,057,000, or 21%, is due to increased sales volume, including that of Global Thermoelectric Inc., partially offset by higher gross margin percentages. A favorable change in product mix, greater coverage of fixed costs at the higher volume levels, favorable contribution from our new electronics manufacturing facility in China and foreign currency impact on production expenses in the Mexican Peso (“MXN”) and Ukraine Hryvna (“UAH”) increased historical gross profit percentage during Second Quarter 2014 to 29.5% compared with 25.0% during Second Quarter 2013. The favorable product mix is primarily attributable to the greater sales growth in CCS products on which we have historically had better margin performance. The new electronics manufacturing facility launched during the second quarter of 2013. This new facility has since been in the process of increasing production volumes by producing existing component products that had formerly been produced by outside suppliers. The Second Quarter 2014 is the second reporting period where the savings from insourcing were larger than the additional overhead costs of the facility. We expect to capture further margin improvements as this manufacturing facility continues to increase production volumes. Our manufacturing plants are located in Ukraine, Mexico and China. As a result, our production labor costs are incurred in the local currency of each of those countries. During the Second Quarter 2014, MXN and UAH decreased in value to the USD by 4.2% and 45%, respectively.

Net Research and Development Expenses. Net research and development expenses were $14,550,000 during Second Quarter 2014 compared to $12,403,000 in Second Quarter 2013, an increase of $2,147,000, or 17%. This increase is primarily driven by additional resources, including personnel, focused on application engineering for new production programs of existing products, development of new products and a program to develop the next generation of seat comfort products. New product development includes automotive heated and cool storage devices, automotive interior thermal management devices, medical thermal management devices, battery thermal management devices and other potential products. Net research and development expenses also increased by $270,000 due to the acquisition of Global Thermoelectric Inc.

We classify development and prototype costs and related reimbursements as research and development. This is consistent with accounting standards applied in the automotive industry. Depreciation costs for tooling are included in cost of sales.

Acquisition Transaction Expenses. During the Second Quarter 2013, we incurred $422,000 in fees, legal and other expenses associated with the acquisition of W.E.T. shares. During the Second Quarter 2014, we did not incur any such expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $21,972,000 in Second Quarter 2014 from $18,908,000 in Second Quarter 2013, an increase of $3,064,000, or 16.2%. This increase in expenses is due to increased management incentive compensation costs, higher general legal, audit and travel costs, as well as wages and benefits costs resulting from new employee hiring and merit increases. The amount also includes the selling, general and administrative expenses of Global Thermoelectric Inc. totaling $2,149,000 since it was acquired on April 1, 2014. The additional employees are primarily related to establishing a new electronics production facility in Shenzhen, China, and increasing sales and marketing efforts aimed at supporting our current product development strategy.

Income Tax Expense. During Second Quarter 2014, we recorded an income tax expense of $6,502,000 representing an effective tax rate of 28% on earnings before income tax of $22,925,000. This amount included unfavorable adjustments relating to previously unrecognized tax expenses offset partially by a shift in the mix of income by legal jurisdiction favoring lower statutory tax rate locations. Our estimated tax rate without these adjustments is 25.8% based upon a forecast of our full year results. During the Second Quarter 2013, we recorded an income tax expense of $1,948,000 representing an effective tax rate of 26% on earnings before income tax of $7,476,000. The effective tax rates for Second Quarter 2014 and Second Quarter 2013 were lower than the US Federal rate of 34% primarily due to the impact of lower statutory rates for our subsidiaries operating in foreign jurisdictions.

First Half 2014 Compared with First Half 2013

Product Revenues . Product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (“First Half 2014”) were $400,120,000 compared with product revenues of $308,610,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (“First Half 2013”), an increase of $91,510,000, or 30%. Higher revenue was primarily driven by continued strong shipments of CCS and due to the revenue from Global Thermoelectric Inc., which was acquired on April 1, 2014, totaling $8,174,000. CCS revenue increased by $49,200,000, or 42%, to approximately $167,200,000, during the First Half 2014. This increase was partially the result of new program launches since First Half 2013 and by strong production volumes and sales of the vehicles equipped with CCS systems, particularly vehicles in the luxury segment of the automotive market. Additionally, certain vehicles that have been redesigned since the First Half 2013 are experiencing very strong production and sales levels, including the General Motors K2XX platform and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The increase was also attributable to improvement in sales to our Japan based customers which had recovered from weaker sales during First Half 2013. Our seat heater revenue also increased by approximately $26,600,000, or 19%, to approximately $162,100,000. This reflected market penetration on certain vehicle programs and also the strong production volumes on General Motors’ K2XX platform. We also have significant growth in our heated steering wheel heater product which showed an increase of $5,800,000, or 48%, to approximately $17,700,000. Our European based sales were significantly higher than the prior year as local economies and car sales in that region continue to improve. Foreign currency translation of our Euro denominated product revenue for First Half 2014, which was €78,314,000 versus €70,420,000 during First Half 2013, increased our product revenues by approximately $4,500,000 or 1.1%. The average US Dollar/Euro exchange rate for First Half 2014 was 1.3709 versus 1.3133 for First Half 2013.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $282,338,000 in First Half 2014 from $229,407,000 in First Half 2013. This increase of $52,931,000, or 23%, is due to increased sales volume, including that of Global Thermoelectric Inc., partially offset by higher gross margin percentages. A favorable change in product mix, greater coverage of fixed costs at the higher volume levels, favorable contribution from our new electronics manufacturing facility in China and foreign currency impact on production expenses in the Mexican Peso (“MXN”) and Ukraine Hryvna (“UAH”) increased historical gross profit percentage during First Half 2014 to 29.4% compared with 25.7% during First Half 2013. The favorable product mix is primarily attributable to the greater sales growth in CCS products on which we have historically had better margin performance. We launched our new electronics manufacturing facility during the second quarter of 2013. This new facility has since been in the process of increasing production volumes by producing existing component products that had formerly been produced by outside suppliers. The Second Quarter 2014 is the second reporting period where the savings from insourcing were larger than the additional overhead costs of the facility. We expect to capture further margin improvements as this manufacturing facility continues to increase production volumes. Our manufacturing plants are located in Ukraine, Mexico and China. As a result, our production labor costs are incurred in the local currency of each of those countries. During the First Half 2014, MXN and UAH decreased in value to the USD by 4.4% and 29%, respectively.

Net Research and Development Expenses. Net research and development expenses were $27,595,000 during First Half 2014 compared to $24,244,000 in First Half 2013, an increase of $3,351,000, or 14%. This increase is primarily driven by additional resources, including personnel, focused on application engineering for new production programs of existing products, development of new products and a program to develop the next generation of seat comfort products. New product development includes automotive heated and cool storage devices, automotive interior thermal management devices, medical thermal management devices, battery thermal management devices and other potential products. Net research and development expenses also increased by $270,000 due to the acquisition of Global Thermoelectric Inc.

Acquisition Transaction Expenses. During First Half 2014, we incurred $1,075,000 in fees and expenses associated with the acquisition of Global Thermoelectric Inc. which was completed on April 1, 2014. During the First Half 2013, we incurred $1,585,000 in fees, legal and other expenses associated with the acquisition of W.E.T. shares. These fees included payments totaling $750,000 to the holders of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock who waived certain equity offering participation rights allowing for the partial funding of the acquisition of W.E.T. shares with Gentherm common stock.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $40,061,000 in First Half 2014 from $35,164,000 in First Half 2013, an increase of $4,897,000, or 14%. This increase in expenses is due to increased management incentive compensation costs, higher general legal, audit and travel costs, as well as wages and benefits costs resulting from new employee hiring and merit increases. The amount also includes the selling, general and administrative expenses of Global Thermoelectric Inc. totaling $2,149,000 since it was acquired on April 1, 2014. The additional employees are primarily related to establishing a new electronics production facility in Shenzhen, China, and increasing sales and marketing efforts aimed at supporting our current product development strategy.

Income Tax Expense. During First Half 2014, we recorded an income tax expense of $12,804,000 representing an effective tax rate of 28% on earnings before income tax of $45,806,000. This amount included unfavorable adjustments relating to previously unrecognized tax expenses offset partially by a shift in the mix of income by legal jurisdiction favoring lower statutory tax rate locations. Our estimated tax rate without these adjustments is 25.8% based upon a forecast of our full year results. During the Second Half 2013, we recorded an income tax expense of $2,743,000 representing an effective tax rate of 15% on earnings before income tax of $18,180,000. This amount included a one-time benefit resulting from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (“the Act”) which was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Act restored the research and development credit and certain exemption under the foreign income tax rules, retroactively to the beginning of 2012. As a result, we recognized approximately $1,300,000 in benefits associated with our 2012 tax year during First Half 2013. Had the Act been adopted during 2012, the benefit would have been recorded during that year and Second Quarter 2013 effective tax rate would have been 22%. The effective tax rates for First Half 2014 and First Half 2013 were lower than the US Federal rate of 34% primarily due to the impact of lower statutory rates for our subsidiaries operating in foreign jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded its financial needs primarily through cash flows from operating activities and equity and debt financings. Based on its current operating plan, management believes cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014, together with cash flows from operating activities, are sufficient to meet operating and capital expenditure needs, and to service debt, for the foreseeable future. However, if cash flows from operations decline, we may need to obtain alternative sources of capital and reduce or delay capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments, all of which could impede the implementation of our business strategy and materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, it is likely that we will need to complete one or more equity or debt financings if we consummate any significant acquisitions. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available at all or on reasonable terms, which could materially and adversely affect our future operations and business strategy.

On June 3, 2014 we received a commitment for a proposed refinancing of the Bank of America credit facilities which would increase our revolving line of credit availability and extend the maturity to 2019. We expect to complete this refinancing during the third quarter of 2014.

The following table represents our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments which are available for our business operations:

	June 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$ 43,154	$ 54,885

We manage our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in order to fund operating requirements and preserve liquidity to take advantage of future business opportunities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $11,731,000 in First Half 2014. Cash provided by operating activities during First Half 2014 was $24,366,000 and was attributable to net income of $33,002,000, plus non-cash adjustments. Non-cash adjustments included depreciation and amortization of $15,391,000, stock compensation of $2,225,000 and other items. Offsetting these positive operating activities was the net increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $19,207,000, including working capital items and gains on the revaluation of derivatives of $217,000.

As of June 30, 2014, working capital was $140,900,000 as compared to $116,786,000 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $24,114,000, or 20.6%. This increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Global Thermoelectric Inc. of $14,679,000, increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets and a decrease in accounts payable of $17,456,000, 6,959,000 and $1,312,000, respectively. These increases to working capital were partially offset by decreases in inventory, deferred income tax assets and the current portion of long-term debt of $5,024,000, $6,309,000 and $1,920,000, respectively, and an increase accrued liabilities of $1,496,000. Accounts receivable increased primarily as a result of increases in product revenues and timing differences between when sales in 2014 were realized compared with sales realized during 2013. Gentherm had proportionally more sales in the June 2014 compared with December 2013. Working Capital was also affected by changes in currency exchange rates.

Cash used in investing activities was $47,184,000 during First Half 2014, reflecting the purchases of Global Thermoelectric and the remaining equity in a joint venture totaling $31,739,000 and purchases of property, plant and equipment totaling $15,489,000. Purchases of property and equipment for the period are primarily related to expansion of production capacity, as well as replacement of existing equipment. During the Second Quarter of 2014, we entered into an agreement to purchase an unoccupied industrial property in Vietnam for purposes of expanding our Asia manufacturing capacity with a new production facility. We expect to begin construction of the new facility during the fourth quarter of 2014 and begin production during 2015. The new facility is estimated to cost between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000.

Cash provided by financing activities was $8,546,000 during First Half 2014, reflecting borrowings against our US Revolving Note of $13,455,000 and proceeds from the exercise of common stock options of $3,406,000. These amounts were partially offset by repayments on our outstanding term notes totaling $12,470,000.

Gentherm, Inc. and our subsidiaries have outstanding credit agreements with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America. See Note 6 “Debt” to the consolidated condensed financial statements included herein for a further description of our credit agreements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt obligations and foreign currency contracts. We have in the past, and may in the future, place our investments in bank certificates of deposits, debt instruments of the U.S. government, and in high-quality corporate issuers.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and short term interest rates. Market risks for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our debt obligations under our Bank of America credit facilities. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from suppliers not denominated in the functional currency of an individual location, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness and include exposures to the European Euro, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, Ukrainian Hryvnia, Mexican Peso, and Korean Won. The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from this risk by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Our hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. We record the ineffective portion of hedging instruments, if any, to other income (expense) in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Though we continuously monitor the hedging program, derivative positions and hedging strategies, foreign currency forward exchange agreements have not always been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

In March 2008, W.E.T. entered into a 10 year currency related interest rate swap (“CRS”) having a notional value of €10,000,000 or $13,692,000 as of June 30, 2014, in order to offset the interest rate risk associated with a debt financing which was repaid prior our acquisition of W.E.T. Under this agreement, W.E.T. received interest equal to the then six-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), 0.30% at June 30, 2014, plus 1.40% and pays interest equal to the six-month EURIBOR when the exchange rate between the European Euro (“EUR”) and the Swiss Franc (“CHF”), which was 1.22 at June 30, 2014, equals or exceeds 1.46 EUR to the CHF or pays interest equal to the six-month EURIBOR plus a premium when this exchange rate is less than 1.46. The premium is calculated as [(1.46 – current EUR/CHF rate)/current EUR/CHF rate] x 100.

In 2011, W.E.T. brought a lawsuit against UniCredit Bank AG (“UniCredit”), a past financial advisor, stemming from the recommendation to invest in the aforementioned CRS. On March 25, 2013, the Munich District Court in Munich, Germany ruled in favor of W.E.T., asserting that UniCredit violated its duty to properly advise W.E.T. with respect to the initial negative market value of the CRS and UniCredit’s inherent conflict of interest in recommending that W.E.T. invest in CRS. The Munich District Court ruled that UniCredit must (1) pay €144,000 to W.E.T. and (2) bear the costs of all future obligations under the CRS, which were €7,974,000 or $10,918,000 as of June 30, 2014, plus additional accrued liabilities for past due payments under the CRS of approximately €6,015,000 or $8,236,000 as of June 30, 2014. UniCredit has appealed the decision and such appeal is pending. As a result of the pending appeal, the Company cannot be certain that any portion of the award by the Munich District Court will be realized by W.E.T. See Note 7 “Derivative Financial Instruments” to the consolidated condensed financial statements included herein for information about our future obligations under the CRS as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has entered into offsetting derivative contracts designed to limit the market risk of payments due under the CRS through the end of the CRS agreement, in 2018.

Information related to the fair values of all derivative instruments in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 is set forth in Note 8 to the consolidated condensed financial statements included herein.
