Business Overview

-The Company develops and manufactures sensors, sensor solutions, electrical protection components and systems, controllers, and software for a various of markets, including the automotive sector.

-Approximately 56% of the Company's net sales in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was derived from the automotive market.

-The Company organizes its operations into two business segments: Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. The Performance Sensing segment is a leading supplier of sensors, high-voltage solutions, and other components for automotive and heavy vehicle and off-road (HVOR) applications, including tire pressure monitoring, thermal management, electrical protection, regenerative braking, powertrain, and exhaust management. This segment accounted for approximately 70% of the Company’s net sales in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

-In the three months ending March 31, 2024, the Company realigned its business by combining the Automotive and HVOR businesses to enhance its core capabilities and product focus. This combined business remained in the Performance Sensing segment. The Company also moved the Insights business out of the Performance Sensing segment to a new operating segment. In addition, the Company moved certain shorter-cycle businesses from the Performance Sensing segment to the Sensing Solutions segment.
