Based on the updated light vehicle production forecast and actual results for the first nine months of 2025, reduced demand in the China market stemming from recently implemented counter-tariffs, and the expected incremental sales contribution from the VOXX acquisition, the Company is making certain changes to its full-year 2025 guidance. The updated guidance reflects the anticipated impact of all known tariffs effective as of October 23, 2025.

Closing Remarks
“The third quarter is best summarized as a continuation of the underlying economic environment of the last year and a half. Light vehicle production levels in our primary markets have improved versus previous forecasts, but any progress is in contrast to the declining production levels experienced over the past few years. Additionally, the previous two quarters were impacted by mix weakness in Europe, Japan and Korea, as well as continued headwinds in China due to the ongoing tariff environment.
While core Gentex revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was lower compared to both the second quarter of 2025 and the same quarter last year, our strong business discipline and operational focus enabled us to deliver another meaningful improvement in gross margin. The Company’s focus on business discipline, expense management, and operational improvements has helped improve margins despite incremental tariff headwinds that were not reimbursed during the quarter. As we move into the fourth quarter, our teams will be focused on bringing the same type of improvements to the VOXX organization to ensure the combined organization is structured to support sustainable profitability and create shareholder value,” concluded Downing.
