Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2023 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

(2)Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company will likely include additional disclosures when this ASU is adopted by the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expects to adopt the ASU for the year ending December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Under this ASU, public benefit entities must annually “(1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate).” This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for the Company in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. This ASU will result in additional disclosures being included in the consolidated financial statements once adopted.

(3)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company recorded Goodwill of: $307.4 million as part of the HomeLink®acquisition in 2013; $3.7 million as part of the acquisition of Vaporsens, Inc. ("Vaporsens") in 2020; $0.2 million as part of the acquisition of Air-Craftglass Production BV ("Air-Craftglass") in 2020; $1.0 million as a part of the acquisition of Argil, Inc. ("Argil") in 2020; $2.0 million as part of the acquisition of Guardian Optical Technologies ("Guardian") in 2021; and $26.7 million as part of the acquisition of eSight in the fourth quarter of 2023. The carrying value of Goodwill as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $340.1 million, as set forth in the table below:

Carrying Amount
Balance as of December 31, 2023$340,105,631
Acquisitions—
Divestitures—
Impairments—
Other—
Balance as of June 30, 2024$340,105,631

In addition to annual impairment testing, which is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value of goodwill or other intangible assets thus resulting in the need for interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. No such events or circumstances that might negatively impact the key assumptions were observed in the second quarter of 2024 and, as such, nothing indicated the need for interim impairment testing.

The Company also acquired In-Process Research & Development ("In-Process R & D") as part of the acquisitions of: Vaporsens; Air-Craftglass; Argil; and Guardian, each of which has been previously disclosed.

The patents and intangible assets and related change in carrying values are set forth in the tables below:

Amortization expense on patents and intangible assets was approximately $4.4 million and $8.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to approximately $5.2 million and $10.5 million for the same periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company estimates amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2024 to be approximately $18 million, for the year ending December 31, 2025 to be approximately $15 million, and for each of the years ending December 31, 2026, December 31, 2027, and December 31, 2028 to be approximately $3 million.

(4)Investments

Available for sale securities

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, and for its non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases, require estimates of fair-market value. This standard also expanded financial statement disclosure requirements with respect to a company’s use of fair-value measurements, including the effect of such measurements on earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The Company determines the fair value of its government securities, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds by utilizing monthly valuation statements that are provided by its broker. The broker determines the investment valuation by utilizing the bid price in the market and also refers to third party sources to validate valuations, and as such are classified as Level 2 assets.

The Company's certificates of deposit are classified as available for sale and are considered as Level 1 assets. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

On October 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire up to 3,137,500 shares of VOXX International Corporation ("VOXX") Class A Common Stock. The Company agreed to purchase the shares intwo tranches: (1) on October 6, 2023, the Company purchased 1,568,750 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10 per share, and (2) on January 5, 2024, the Company purchased 1,568,750 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10 per share. The VOXX shares held by the Company are publicly traded and have a readily determinable fair market value and are considered Level 1 assets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company holds a total of 3,311,308 shares of VOXX. The investment is accounted for in accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, with changes in fair value recorded in Investment income, net in consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $16.6 million and $23.8 million, respectively, of mark to market adjustments in investment income.

Technology Investments

The Company also periodically makes strategic investments in the non-marketable debt or equity securities of non-consolidated third parties ("Technology Investments"). Such Technology Investments totaled approximately $146.2 million as of June 30, 2024, of which $142.7 million and $3.5 million are recorded in long-term investments and short-term investments, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet, and $128.0 million as of December 31, 2023, of which $124.6 million and $3.4 million are recorded in long-term investments and short-term investments, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. Depending on the form of investment, and the degree of influence the Company has over the investee, the Company primarily accounts for the Technology Investments in accordance with ASC 321, Investments- Equity Securities or ASC 323 –Investments – Equity Method and Joint Venture. The Company accounts for equity securities in non-controlled affiliates through which the Company exercises significant influence but do not have control over the investee under the equity method, with the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of non-controlled affiliates recognized within Other (loss) income, net in the Company's consolidated statement of income. All other Technology Investments that the Company holds are primarily accounted for under the measurement alternative of ASC 321. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The Company utilized the guidance provided by ASC 326 to determine whether any of the available-for-sale debt securities held by the Company were impaired. No investments were considered to be impaired during the periods presented. The Company has the intention and current ability to hold its debt investments until any amortized cost basis has been recovered.

(6)Earnings Per Share

The Company has unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends, which are considered participating securities under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company allocates earnings to participating securities and computes earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, net income is allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted average shares outstanding for the period. For a period of net loss, net loss is not allocated to participating securities.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share under the two-class method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

(7)Stock-Based Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2024, the Company hadtwo equity incentive plans, which include the Gentex Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 Omnibus Plan"), and an employee stock purchase plan. Those plans and any prior material amendments thereto have previously been approved by shareholders.

The 2019 Omnibus Plan provides for the potential awards to: i) employees; and ii) non-employee directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, which potential awards may be stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, performance share awards and performance units, and other awards that are stock-based, cash-based or a combination of both. The 2019 Omnibus Plan replaced the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan, Second Restricted Stock Plan, and Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Plans"), which were also approved by shareholders. Any existing awards previously granted under the Prior Plans remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and are governed by the Prior Plans as applicable.

Readers should refer to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023, for additional information related to the Prior Plans.

The Company recognized total compensation expense for share-based payments of $10,964,419 and $21,451,680 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense for share-based payments of $9,744,670 and $18,264,205 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. A portion of the compensation cost for share based payment awards is capitalized as part of inventory.

2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to attract and retain employees, officers, and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and to motivate and provide such persons incentives and rewards for performance. Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Omnibus Plan, each type of award counts against the available shares based on a predetermined conversion rate (shown in the table below). As of June 30, 2024,10,767,342 share awards have been made under the Plan, resulting in 28,493,236 shares granted of the 45,000,000 total shares available to be issued under the Plan. The shares issued are presented net of shares from canceled/expired options and shares.

Employee Stock Options

Under the 2019 Omnibus Plan and the Employee Stock Option Plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on the date of grant. The options vest afterone tofive years and expire after five toten years. As of June 30, 2024, there was $6,433,486 of unearned compensation cost associated with stock options granted under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Option Plan, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2024202320242023
Dividend Yield (1)1.62%1.75%1.63%1.76%

Weighted-avg. grant date fair value$8.49$7.38$8.78$7.11
  1. Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant.

  2. Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant.

  3. Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant.

  4. Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.

Restricted Shares

Restricted shares awarded under the 2019 Omnibus Plan and the Second Restricted Stock Plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership, except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The restriction period is determined by the Compensation Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, but may not exceedten years under the terms of such plans. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $51,380,007 associated with the restricted stock grants issued under the 2019 Omnibus Plan and the Second Restricted Stock Plan. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable restriction periods. Compensation expense from restricted stock grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $6,883,839 and $13,571,180, respectively.

Performance shares awarded under the 2019 Omnibus Plan are considered performance condition awards as attainment is based on the Company's performance relative to pre-established metrics. The fair value of such performance share awards was determined using the Company's average closing stock price on the twenty days preceding the date of grant. The expected attainment of the metrics for these awards is then analyzed each reporting period, and the related expense is adjusted based on expected attainment, if the then expected attainment differs from previous expectations. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in expected attainment is recognized in the period of change.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $18,244,290 associated with these performance share grants. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable performance periods. Compensation expense related to these performance share grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2,023,635 and $3,796,264, respectively. Compensation expense related to these performance share grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,635,022 and $2,137,228, respectively.

As part of its objective of attracting and retaining management to fulfill the Company's strategic goals, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved on February 16, 2023, a retention grant of performance share awards ("PSAs"). In addition to the retention of management, the PSAs have been granted to further align management goals with those of the Company's shareholders. For that reason, the PSAs have been granted with performance criteria and will be based upon achievement of the Company's relative total shareholder return ("TSR") over afour year period (2023-2026), against a predetermined peer group. The grant date fair value of PSAs with TSR targets was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation expense related to these retention grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $445,793 and $888,639, respectively. Compensation expense related to these retention grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $516,493 and $641,218, respectively.
