Current report

•Net sales decreased 11.3% to $90.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $102.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

•Our gross margin percentage decreased to 27.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

•Income tax expense was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

In October 2025, we announced a short-term furlough program affecting approximately 4.3% of our workforce. This action is taken in response to cost containment efforts, and was designed to align labor costs with current business activity levels during the year-end holiday season, while preserving long-term employment relationships. The furloughs are temporary in nature, with affected employees returning to work after 80 hours. During the furlough period, the Company will continue to provide certain benefits to affected employees, including healthcare coverage. The anticipated impact of this furlough program is expected to modestly reduce labor-related expenses and support ongoing cost management objectives.

Current report

Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $25.1 million compared to $30.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 27.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decline in gross margin primarily reflects a one-time impairment charge of approximately $1.2 million related to machinery and equipment that will no longer be utilized following the planned closure of our Mexico facility by the end of 2025. This charge reduced the gross margin rate by approximately 130 basis points. In addition, higher tariff costs and unfavorable sales mix together contributed to an additional 270 basis point decline in gross margin during the period. These pressures were partially offset by realized procurement savings, which improved gross margin by approximately 80 basis points. We also benefited from favorable foreign exchange movements driven by a weaker U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound and a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to Vietnamese Dong, resulting in an additional 80 basis points of margin improvement.

Current report

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 versus Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

Current report

Net sales in home entertainment were $184.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $210.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease primarily reflects lower demand for subscription broadcasting products in Europe and Latin America, particularly basic remote control models at lower price points and limited to no advanced features. In addition, reduced demand for televisions among certain consumer electronics customers contributed to a corresponding decline in remote control sales within this channel.

Current report

SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses decreased to $65.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $68.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease reflects lower volume-driven expenses of $1.3 million, consistent with the decline in sales volume. In addition, ongoing cost-reduction initiatives, including organizational rightsizing, resulted in savings from headcount reductions. People-related expenses decreased by $3.3 million, complemented by an additional $1.9 million reduction in other discretionary spending. These reductions were partially offset by one-time charges incurred during the period, including $1.3 million related to the abandonment of office space in Carlsbad, California, $2.3 million of severance costs associated with our global reduction in force and $0.6 million related to additional director compensation.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Previous report

Net sales in home entertainment were $124.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $134.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The sales decrease in the home entertainment channel is due primarily to lower demand for subscription broadcasting and consumer electronic products. Sales in the Latin American market have declined because we typically sell remote controls with basic features in this market, resulting in us having to compete on price with low-cost providers. In addition, certain customers in the consumer electronics industry experienced lower demand for televisions, resulting in a decrease in remote control sales in this market.

Previous report

Gross profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $55.3 million compared to $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 29.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. A stronger U.S. Dollar versus the functional currencies at our manufacturing facilities in Vietnam and Mexico coupled by a weaker U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro and British Pound resulted in a 90 basis point improvement to our gross margin rate. Unfavorable sales mix, offset partially by additional operational efficiencies at our Vietnam facility, resulted in a 30 basis point reduction in our gross margin rate.

Previous report

SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses decreased to $43.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $45.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by our continued cost control efforts including a reduction in headcount and related expenses as well as a decrease in professional services costs.

Previous wording

Net sales in home entertainment were $63.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $67.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The sales decrease in the home entertainment channel is due to lower demand for subscription broadcasting products in Latin America, specifically basic remote controls with low price points. In addition, certain customers in the consumer electronics industry experienced lower demand for televisions, resulting in a decrease in remote control sales in this market.

Current wording

Net sales in home entertainment were $60.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $75.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in sales within the home entertainment channel was primarily driven by lower demand for subscription broadcasting products in Europe and Latin America, particularly for basic remote controls with lower price points and limited or no advanced features. In addition, several customers in the consumer electronics industry experienced reduced demand for televisions, which led to a corresponding decline in remote control sales in this channel. The retail market also remains weak, reflecting elevated inventory levels and soft sell-through performance.

Previous wording

Research and development ("R&D") expenses. R&D expenses decreased to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to headcount reductions.

Current wording

Research and development ("R&D") expenses.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. SG&A expenses decreased to $22.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $22.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease reflects lower volume-driven expenses of $0.9 million, consistent with the decline in sales volume. In addition, ongoing cost-reduction initiatives, including organizational rightsizing, resulted in savings from headcount reductions. People-related expenses decreased by $1.8 million, complemented by an additional $1.0 million reduction in other discretionary spending. These savings were largely offset by one-time charges incurred during the period, including $1.3 million related to the abandonment of office space in Carlsbad, California and $1.7 million of severance costs associated with our global reduction in force.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 29.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 28.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. A stronger U.S. Dollar versus the functional currencies at our manufacturing facilities in Vietnam and Mexico coupled by a weaker U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro and British Pound resulted in a 100 basis point improvement to our gross margin rate. Operational efficiencies, primarily in our Vietnam facility, offset partially by unfavorable sales mix, yielded an additional 20 basis points of rate improvement.

Current wording

Gross profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $80.4 million compared to $82.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 29.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decline in gross margin primarily reflects a one-time impairment charge of approximately $1.2 million related to machinery and equipment that will no longer be utilized following the planned closure of our Mexico facility by the end of 2025. This charge reduced the gross margin rate by approximately 40 basis points. In addition, an unfavorable sales mix contributed an additional 80 basis point decline in gross margin during the period. These pressures were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange impacts driven by a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to the Mexican Peso and Vietnamese Dong and a weaker U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound, which together provided approximately 90 basis points of margin improvement.

Previous wording

We expect to renew our China Credit Line prior to its expiration; however, no assurance can be given that future financing will be available or, if available, that we will be offered terms satisfactory to us.

Previous wording

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net loss was $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net loss of $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Depreciation and amortization was $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting from fewer purchases of property, plant and equipment over recent years, commensurate with production volume declines. Inventories decreased by $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an increase of $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in inventories is primarily the result of improved inventory management. A decrease in accounts receivable and contract assets caused mainly by a decrease in sales outstanding resulted in cash inflows of $23.3 million and $13.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Days sales outstanding were 75 days at June 30, 2025 compared to 91 days at June 30, 2024. A decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities caused mainly by a decrease in inventory purchases and timing of payments throughout the quarter resulted in cash outflows of $15.4 million and $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. A decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets caused mainly by the release of the deposit associated with our litigation with Tongshun Company resulted in cash inflows of $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to cash outflows of $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current wording

Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $8.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The improvement in operating cash flows primarily reflects changes in working capital, particularly in accounts receivable and contract assets, as well as improved inventory management. Net loss was $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net loss of $19.5 million in the prior-year period. Depreciation and amortization expense was $11.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $13.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to lower capital expenditures in recent years, consistent with the decline in production volumes. Inventories decreased by $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to an increase of $0.5 million during the same period in 2024, reflecting improved inventory management practices. A decrease in accounts receivable and contract assets, mainly due to lower sales outstanding, resulted in cash inflows of $38.9 million in 2025 compared to $5.4 million in 2024. Days sales outstanding improved to 72 days at September 30, 2025, from 91 days at September 30, 2024. A decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily driven by lower inventory purchases and timing of payments, resulted in cash outflows of $22.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.1 million in the prior-year period. Additionally, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, primarily related to the release of a deposit associated with our litigation with Tongshun Company, generated cash inflows of $5.7 million in 2025 compared to $0.8 million in 2024.
