Product revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased by $14.0 million, or 3.8%, as compared with the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues decreased 3.3% year over year.
Automotive revenues decreased 4.3% year over year. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, phasing out the non-automotive and contract manufacturing electronics business as well as one-time benefits from recoveries in the prior year, Automotive revenues decreased 1.8% year over year. Revenues from Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions increased 1.7% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior-year period.
According to S&P Global Mobility's mid-February report, actual light vehicle production increased by 0.4% in the fourth quarter when compared with the same quarter of 2023 in the Company's key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan, and South Korea.
Gentherm Medical revenue increased 8.4% year over year. Adjusting for the impact of foreign currency translation, Medical revenues increased 8.9%.
Gross margin rate decreased to 24.4% in the current-year period, as compared with 26.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease from the prior-year period was driven by product mix, higher freight costs, the impact of foreign exchange, and the costs related to our new plants opening in Monterrey, Mexico and Tangier, Morocco.
Net research and development expenses of $21.1 million in the quarter decreased slightly compared to the prior-year period primarily as a result of lower third-party spend.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $38.6 million in the quarter decreased $3.3 million versus the prior-year period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower compensation expenses, partially offset by leadership transition expenses in 2024.
Restructuring expenses, net of $0.7 million in the current-year period, decreased $0.6 million, versus the prior-year period primarily as a result of higher costs associated with footprint optimization in the prior-year.
The Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $41.4 million in the quarter compared with $49.0 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of $7.6 million or 15.6%.
Income tax expense in the quarter was $20.8 million, as compared with income tax gain of $0.9 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by one-time tax settlements relating to prior period tax audits.
GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.49 compared with $0.56 for the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.29 compared with $0.90 for the prior-year period.

For full year 2024, the Company reported product revenues of $1,456.1 million, a 0.9% decrease over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, product revenues decreased 0.4% year over year.
In the Automotive segment, 2024 full-year revenue was $1,406.3 million, a 1.2% decrease compared to the prior year. Revenue increases in the Lumbar and Massage Comfort Solutions and Steering Wheel Heater product categories were offset by decreases in the Climate Control Seat and Seat Heater categories and automotive revenue not related to Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions. Adjusting for foreign currency translation Automotive revenue decreased 0.7% year over year. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, phasing out the non-automotive and contract manufacturing electronics business as well as one-time benefits from recoveries in the prior year, Automotive revenue increased 0.8% year over year.
According to S&P Global Mobility's mid-February 2025 report, actual light vehicle production decreased 1.0% for the full year 2024 compared to full year 2023 in the Company's key markets of North America, Europe, China, Japan and South Korea.
Medical segment revenue was $49.8 million for full year 2024, an 8.1% increase compared to the prior year. Adjusting for foreign currency translation, Medical revenues increased 8.2%.
Gross margin rate was 25.2% in 2024, a 130 basis point increase from 2023, primarily as a result of strong material performance, productivity, and the impact of our previously announced exit of the non-automotive electronics business, partially offset by annual price reductions, wage inflation, and the costs related to our new plants opening in Monterrey, Mexico and Tangier, Morocco.
Net research and development expenses of $88.7 million in 2024 decreased 6.0% primarily as a result of lower project spend and a reduction in resources allocated to the battery performance solutions product category.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $155.1 million in 2024 decreased $0.5 million, or 0.3%, versus the prior year period. The year over year decrease was primarily driven by acquisition and integration expenses in the prior year and lower compensation expenses, partially offset by leadership transition costs and increased investment in information technology in 2024.
The Company incurred $13.1 million in restructuring expenses, net in 2024, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period primarily as a result of manufacturing footprint optimization and reductions to the global salaried workforce. The Company recorded impairment of goodwill charges of $19.5 million in 2023 related to the Medical segment.
The Company recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $182.9 million in 2024 compared with $180.6 million in the prior year, an increase of $2.3 million or 1.3%.
Income tax expense in 2024 was $37.3 million, as compared with $14.6 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 36.5% for 2024. This rate differed from the Federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to unfavorable geographic mix of earnings as well as the impact of one-time tax settlements relating to prior period tax audits. Excluding the impact of prior period tax audits, the effective tax rate was 26.9%. GAAP diluted earnings per share for full year 2024 was $2.06 as compared with $1.22 for the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for full year 2024 was $2.33 as compared with $2.59 for the prior year.

In addition, with reasonable frequency, we have entered into business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and other significant transactions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP throughout this release, the Company has provided here or elsewhere information regarding: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"); Adjusted EBITDA margin; adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted earnings per share" or "Adjusted EPS"); free cash flow; Net Debt, net leverage ratio ("net leverage"), revenue, segment revenue and product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses; Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenues; and adjusted operating expenses, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as earnings adjusted by restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities less Purchases of property and equipment. The Company defines Net Debt as the principal amount of all Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) less cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines net leverage as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters. The Company defines revenue, segment revenue or product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses as such revenue, excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excluding the other items specified in the reconciliation tables herein. The Company defines Automotive Climate and Comfort Solutions revenues as Automotive revenue excluding specified product revenues and the impact of non-automotive electronics and contract manufacturing electronics revenues. The Company defines adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding related non-cash stock based compensation, restructuring expenses, net, and other losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.
The Company's reconciliations are included in this release or can be found in the supplemental materials furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company's Form 8-K dated February 19, 2025.
In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Free Cash Flow and Net Debt as supplemental measures of its liquidity and the other non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its operating performance. Management provides such non-GAAP financial measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors in properly assessing the Company's performance on a period-over-period basis by excluding matters not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating or liquidity results and therefore enhance the comparability of the Company's results and provide additional information for analyzing trends in the business. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur revenues, expenses, and cash and non-cash obligations that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There also can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material. Other companies in our industry may define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do and those calculations may not be comparable to our metrics. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss), revenue or other consolidated income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP measures referenced in this release and other public communications may include estimates of future Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EPS. The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to taxes and non-recurring items, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
