Previous report

We have continued to evaluate our global manufacturing footprint as part of our overall cost optimization and return to profitability strategy. In late July 2025, our Board approved a plan to shut down our Mexico manufacturing facility based upon strong productivity at our Vietnam factory and decreased demand in our home entertainment channel. We expect this shut down to be completed by the end of 2025 with additional shutdown-related expenses recorded throughout the remainder of the year.

Previous 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.

Previous report

Factory restructuring charges. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $0.8 million in expense, including severance and moving costs associated with the closure of our factory in Mexico. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $0.1 million in expense, which included severance and moving costs associated with the streamlining of our factory in Mexico.

Previous report

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

Previous report

Net sales in connected home were $95.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $73.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This growth is driven primarily by shipments to large climate control and home automation customers relating to projects won over the past couple of years.

Previous 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.

Previous report

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 report

Factory restructuring charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $0.8 million in expense, including severance and moving costs associated with the closure of our factory in Mexico. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $2.7 million in expense, which included severance and moving costs associated with the closure of our southern China factory and the streamlining of our factory in Mexico.

Previous report

Other income (expense), net. Other expense, net was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to other income, net of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was attributable to foreign currency losses arising from the persistent weakness of the U.S. Dollar in 2025.

Previous wording

We have been negatively impacted and we expect to continue to be negatively impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions, including new tariffs imposed or to be imposed on goods manufactured in Vietnam, Taiwan, the PRC, and Mexico, and reduced consumer spending on durable goods. Economic tensions and changes in international trade policies, including the recent widespread tariffs announced by the U.S. on its major trading partners, higher tariffs on imported goods, actions taken in response (such as retaliatory tariffs or other trade protectionist measures or the renegotiation of free trade agreements), could also further impact the global market for our products. The full impact of these governmental actions on macroeconomic conditions and on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict and may result in lower sales and/or cost increases, which would negatively impact our gross margins and overall financial results. Management will continue to seek ways to lessen the impact these pressures may have on our margins and financial results; however, these mitigation efforts may not be successful and these pressures may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Net sales in connected home were $29.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This growth is driven primarily by shipments to large climate control and home automation customers relating to projects won over the past couple of years.

Current wording

Net sales in connected home were $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $31.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease is driven primarily by reduced demand from our large climate control and home automation customers.

Previous 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.

Current wording

Net sales in home entertainment were $50.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $60.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $20.6 million compared to $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 28.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by an unfavorable change in sales mix, which reduced margin by 170 basis points, and additional tariff costs that could not be passed on to customers, which reduced margin by 110 basis points. These pressures were partially offset by realized procurement savings, which improved gross margin by approximately 70 basis points.

Previous wording

Research and development ("R&D") expenses. R&D expenses decreased to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 attributable to reductions in payroll and related personnel expenses following headcount optimization actions.

Current wording

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.

Current wording

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. SG&A expenses decreased to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

This increase was attributable to foreign currency losses arising from the persistent weakness of the U.S. Dollar in the third quarter of 2025.

Current wording

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.

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.
