Gentex, Parent of Klipsch & Onkyo, Reports Fiscal 2025 2nd Quarter Results

by Leave a Comment

Gentex automotive mirrors

Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX) has reported its financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the 90-day period that ended on June 30, 2025. For the most part, results looked better than initially expected, although much of the upside improvement in revenues was largely thanks to the acquisition of VOXX Int’l, the company that owns audio brands Onkyo, Integra, and Klipsch as well as other automotive electronics brands. That acquisition closed on April 1, the first day of the second quarter.

However, the profit contribution of VOXX was a different story.

Something tells me these companies – Harman International Industries, Inc. and Voxx International Corp/Klipsch Group, Inc. aren’t going to be friends…or even friendly. I have learned that Harman has filed a significant 13-count patent infringement lawsuit against Voxx/Klipsch for copying its patented JBL PartyBox line in the creation of the Klipsch Gig XXL party speaker line.

Harman says Voxx/Klipsch continued its allegedly unlawful actions even after being notified of the infringement by Harman back in the fall of 2023.

Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX), the new owner of Voxx, Premium Audio Company, Onkyo, Integra, and Klipsch reported the financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025 – the period that ended on March 31, 2025. Note that these results do not include the Voxx et. al. acquisition in its numbers, as that merger did not close until April 1, 2025. Gentex reported declines in sales, gross profit dollars, income from operations, and net income.

And all that happened before the new tariffs launched by the Trump administration took effect in full force.

Onkyo, Integra, and Klipsch Owner Stops Bleeding in Profits But Not Sales

Voxx International Corporation (Nasdaq: VOXX) announced the financial results for its second quarter and first half of Fiscal 2025 on Thursday after the close of markets. The company, which is in the middle of a major transformation of its business, hailed the results in which it has dramatically cut the level of its total and net debt, and finished with a small net income after several quarters of net losses.

A couple of interesting announcements this week from Premium Audio Company (PAC), the Voxx Int’l subsidiary that markets the company’s premier audio brands such as Klipsch, Onkyo, Integra, Jamo, Pioneer, Elite, and more. First up, Rob Standley gets a big promotion to President of Technology and Product, a big step up. Second, and I would say counter-intuitively, the company says it’s lowering prices on many of its “most popular and best-selling audio solutions.”
