Here is what Alluvial Capital Management has to say about Garrett Motion Inc. in its Q4 2021 investor letter:
“Garrett Motion is also feeling the effects of the troubles with global supply chains. Difficulties in sourcing semiconductors have led many large automotive manufacturers to slow production, which in turn delays orders for Garrett Motion’s turbochargers. Still, the environment has not prevented Garrett Motion from making progress on improving its balance sheet and beginning to return capital. In November, the company announced a plan to repurchase $100 million in common and preferred stock. Then in December, Garrett Motion announced it would accelerate the planned redemption of its Series B preferred stock held by Honeywell. By this time next year, Garrett Motion will have meaningfully reduced its liabilities and bought in quite a bit of stock at a very attractive price. As supply chains normalize, the company’s earnings and cash flow will benefit, giving the company the ability to return more capital to shareholders and invest in the transition to products for electric vehicles.”
