Business Overview

-The Company manufactures digital vision, connected car, dimmable glass, premium audio, fire protection, medical devices, and consumer electronic technologies across multiple industries. For the automotive market, the Company focuses on automatic-dimming and non-automatic dimming rearview mirrors, mirror-integrated displays and electronics. Automotive rearview mirrors and electronics accounted for approximately 89% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

-In 2025, the Company continued to hold its position as the leading producer of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors in the world, holding approximately an 79% market share for the automotive market. Note that due to tariff and counter tariff actions, the Company’s export sales into China were negatively affected in 2025, resulting in a reduction in global market share after holding an 86% market share in 2024.

-The Company estimates that it has an annual production capacity of 42 to 45 million interior automatic-dimming mirror units and 19 to 22 million exterior mirror units. In 2025, the Company shipped 28.6 million interior automatic-dimming mirrors and 16.2 million exterior automatic-dimming mirrors.

-In December 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire VOXX International through an all-cash transaction. Under the agreement, the Company will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of VOXX common stock for USD 7.5 per share. VOXX generates most of its revenue from automotive OEM and aftermarket electronics, with support from its consumer electronics business. With the acquisition, the Company will gain access to VOXX’s EyeLock iris biometric authentication technology. The acquisition will also provide the Company with access to the Premium Audio Company, a premium audio solution provider for consumer technology that includes brands such as Klipsch, Onkyo, and Integra. The Company believes that its capabilities in high-volume manufacturing can help the Premium Audio Company continue expansion in consumer technology and connected home markets, while providing additional exposure from the automotive market. The Company completed the acquisition of VOXX International on April 1, 2025 for cash considerations totaling USD 148.3 million.

-With the acquisition of VOXX taking effect on April 1, 2025, the Company reorganized its internal operating structure into three reportable segments as follows:

Automotive Products: The segment focuses on the development and manufacturing of digital vision, connected car, and other automotive products and electronics. Its products include interior and exterior mirrors, with and without automatic-dimming capabilities and electronic features.
Premium Audio Products: The segment designs, manufactures and distributes high quality audio equipment such as loudspeakers, A/V receivers, theater systems, soundbars, and music streaming systems.
Other: The segment comprises multiple operating segments of Fire Protection, Dimmable Aircraft Windows, Nanofiber, Medical, Aftermarket Electronics, Consumer Electronics, and Biometrics.
