Organic Net Sales Decline 6.3%; Organic Net Income Slides 21%

Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX) reported its financial results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, and for the first time, these results betray an impact from the Trump administration’s tariff program as well as slowing global economic activity. The company is also still struggling to more fully integrate Voxx International, acquired back in April 2025, into its operations and forward planning.

Organic results – which take Voxx out of the 2025 numbers for an apples-to-apples comparison with Fiscal 2024 results – showed a notable decline in net sales and a troubling double-digit decline in net income. Read on to see what the company said about these results…and to get my take.

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.

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.
