- Company continues to execute on its restructuring plan and strengthen its balance sheet, while pursuing strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive and consumer technologies for the global markets, as well as strategic joint ventures including biometrics, today announced its financial results for its Fiscal 2025 second quarter and six-months ended August 31, 2024.
"We made significant progress through the first half of the year in executing our plan to unlock value," stated Pat Lavelle, President and Chief Executive Officer of VOXX International Corporation. "We exited Fiscal 2024 coming off losses and had over $73 million in total debt which historically, is very high for us as we have always looked to maintain low leverage and financial flexibility. Thus, we embarked on an internal restructuring plan to right size our business and improve operational efficiencies, while lowering expenses and our working capital needs. We concurrently looked to monetize non-core assets and this past quarter, successfully sold our domestic accessories business and two non-core premium audio brands netting approximately $28 million in the transactions. We also divested our Florida real estate in the Fiscal 2025 third quarter, as we near completion of our OEM manufacturing transition to Mexico, which generated gross proceeds of $20 million. I'm pleased to report that as of today, our total debt is less than $20 million and our net debt stands at under $15 million, which is essentially our normal working capital needs at this time."
Lavelle continued, "We also embarked on a strategic alternatives process to explore all avenues that could generate better value for our shareholders given what we believe to be a significant disconnect in our asset value and stock price. This could mean a sale of our entire business, or additional business or asset divestitures as we still have significant value within our portfolio, as well as owned real estate. Irrespective of the outcome of the process, we are laser focused on getting VOXX back to profitability. Through restructuring programs, our OEM relocation, strong management of the supply chain, and all of our new programs and products, we believe we can do that this Fiscal year. We are aggressively taking actions and controlling what we can to offset anything the economy or business environment may throw at us. We're well on our way to achieving our goals provided sales materialize in the second half of the year as planned."
Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Comparisons
Net sales in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter ended August 31, 2024, were $92.5 million as compared to $113.6 million in the Fiscal 2024 second quarter ended August 31, 2023, a decrease of $21.2 million or 18.6%. For the same comparable periods:
- Automotive Electronics segment net sales were $26.4 million as compared to $35.4 million, a decrease of $9.0 million or 25.5%. OEM product sales were $11.0 million as compared to $16.3 million, with the decline primarily due to lower sales of OEM rear-seat entertainment and to a lesser extent, remote start products. Aftermarket product sales were $15.4 million as compared to $19.2 million with declines across several categories as the market continues to deal with inflated vehicle pricing and high interest rates, resulting in lower consumer spending on vehicles.
- Consumer Electronics segment net sales were $66.1 million as compared to $78.0 million, a decrease of $12.0 million or 15.4%. Premium audio product sales were $49.9 million as compared to $53.2 million. The decline in premium audio product sales was due primarily to fewer close-out sales in the prior year, and lower consumer spending amid economic and geopolitical concerns, among other factors. This was partially offset by sales from new products that were launched. Other consumer electronics ("CE") product sales were $16.1 million as compared to $24.8 million, with the decline primarily related to lower European accessory product sales which declined by approximately $8.2 million. Domestic accessory sales declined by $1.4 million due primarily to lower consumer spending and current economic concerns.
On March 1, 2024, the Company's majority owned subsidiary, EyeLock LLC, contributed assets, including inventory and intangible assets, to a newly formed joint venture, BioCenturion LLC. As of and for the three and six months ended August 31, 2024, the Company accounted for its investment in BioCenturion LLC as an equity method investment with (loss) income from its equity method investee recorded within Other (Expense) Income on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The gross margin in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter was 24.5% as compared to 25.2% in the Fiscal 2024 second quarter, a decline of 70 basis points. When comparing the Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 second quarters, the Company reported:
- Automotive Electronics segment gross margin of 23.6% as compared to 24.3%, down 70 basis points. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by lower sales of higher margin products, such as aftermarket security, aftermarket rear-seat entertainment, and collision avoidance. This was partially offset by the positive impact from the Company's OEM manufacturing relocation to Mexico, as well as product mix.
- Consumer Electronics segment gross margin of 25.1% as compared to 25.5%, down 40 basis points. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by the significant sales decline in the Company's European accessories business, as well as the decline in premium audio sales in Europe and Asia. This was partially offset by fewer low price, low margin close-out sales of older products compared to the prior year, as well as the positive impact from new premium audio product launches.
Total operating expenses in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter were $31.8 million as compared to $37.1 million in the comparable Fiscal 2024 period, a decline of $5.3 million or 14.3%. The year-over-year improvement was driven primarily by the positive impact from restructuring programs and other initiatives designed to lower costs and working capital needs. When comparing the Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 second quarters, the Company reported:
- Selling expenses of $7.8 million as compared to $10.0 million. The year-over-year improvement of $2.2 million or 21.7% was primarily driven by lower advertising and website expenses, as well as lower headcount related expenses, partially offset by an increase in payroll tax expenses as a result of Employee Reduction Credits received in the comparable prior year.
- General and administrative ("G&A") expenses of $15.8 million as compared to $17.3 million. The year-over-year improvement of $1.5 million or 8.5% was primarily driven by lower headcount related expenses, the absence of EyeLock LLC salaries and Mr. Kahli's executive salary, and a decline in depreciation and amortization expenses. Additionally, legal and professional fees declined as did occupancy costs. As an offset, the Company experienced higher taxes and licensing fees related to the implementation of its new ERP system, as well as higher payroll tax expenses.
- Engineering and technical support expenses of $6.1 million as compared to $7.9 million. The year-over-year improvement of $1.8 million or 22.4% was primarily due to a decline in research and development expense, as well as the positive impact from the formation of the BioCenturion LLC joint venture. Additionally, labor expense and related benefits declined as a direct result of the Company's restructuring programs and its use of outside labor compared to the prior year period.
- The Company incurred approximately $2.1 million of restructuring expenses as compared to $2.0 million, with restructuring costs primarily comprised of severance expense related to Companywide headcount reductions, including those related to the domestic accessories business, which was sold during the Fiscal 2025 second quarter. Restructuring expenses also included costs related to the relocation of the Company's OEM manufacturing operations to Mexico.
The Company reported an operating loss of $9.1 million in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter as compared to an operating loss of $8.5 million in the comparable year-ago period.
Total other income, net, in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter was $12.5 million as compared to total other expense, compared to tother other net expenses of $2.9 million comparable Fiscal 2024 period. In August 2024, the Company sold certain assets of two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, VOXX Accessories Corp. and Premium Audio Company, LLC., resulting in gains on the sale of these assets of $8.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Additionally:
- Interest and bank charges increased by $0.4 million principally due to higher borrowings on the Company's Domestic Credit Facility.
- Equity in income of equity investee declined by $1.0 million for the comparable periods. This historically included the Company's 50% ownership interests in ASA Electronics LLC and Subsidiaries ("ASA") and now includes its 50% ownership interests in BioCenturion LLC., as of March 1, 2024.
- In the Fiscal 2024 second quarter, the Company recorded $1.6 million of charges representing interest expense, legal fee reimbursements, and a settlement related to patent arbitration in connection with the final arbitration award due to Seaguard, which was paid in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.
- Lastly, other, net, improved by $4.8 million, principally as a result of net foreign currency gains and losses.
Net income attributable to VOXX International Corporation in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter was $2.4 million as compared to a net loss attributable to VOXX International Corporation of $11.1 million in the comparable Fiscal 2024 period. The Company reported basic and diluted income per common share attributable to VOXX International Corporation of $0.10 in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter as compared to a basic and diluted loss per common share attributable to VOXX International Corporation of $0.47, in the comparable Fiscal 2024 period.

Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 Six-Month Comparisons
Net sales in the Fiscal 2025 six-month period ended August 31, 2024, were $184.1 million as compared to $225.6 million in the Fiscal 2024 six-month period ended August 31, 2023, a decrease of $41.4 million or 18.4%.
- Automotive Electronics segment net sales in the Fiscal 2025 six-month period were $54.1 million as compared to $73.8 million in the comparable year-ago period, a decrease of $19.8 million or 26.8%. For the same comparable periods, OEM product sales were $23.9 million as compared to $36.5 million and aftermarket product sales were $30.2 million as compared to $37.3 million. The principal drivers of the year-over-year decline were a $13.5 million decrease in OEM rear-seat entertainment sales, a $1.8 million decrease in aftermarket security product sales, and a $1.6 million decrease in sales of satellite radio products, among other factors. This was partially offset by higher sales of OEM remote start products and OEM safety products, as well as higher sales of aftermarket accessories products.
- Consumer Electronics segment net sales in the Fiscal 2025 six-month period were $130.0 million as compared to $151.4 million in the comparable year-ago period, a decrease of $21.4 million or 14.1%. For the same comparable periods, Premium Audio product sales were $98.3 million as compared to $100.8 million and other consumer electronics product sales were $31.7 million as compared to $50.6 million. The decline in premium audio product sales was primarily due to the state of the international markets as sales declined $1.9 million in Europe and Asia. Domestic premium audio product sales grew modestly and sales from new products helped offset international weakness, as expected. Other CE product sales declined $10.8 million in Europe, primarily due to lower sales of balcony solar power products as sales have normalized post-launch. Domestic accessory sales declined by $7.4 million for the comparable periods. There were other offsetting factors when comparing the six-month periods.
The gross margin in the Fiscal 2025 six-month period was 26.1% as compared to 24.9% in the Fiscal 2024 six-month period, an increase of 120 basis points. For the same comparable periods, the Company reported:

- Consumer Electronics segment gross margin of 27.3% as compared to 25.5%. The year-over-year improvement of 180 basis points was primarily driven by fewer close out promotions in the Fiscal 2025 six-month period and improved margins from the launch of new premium audio products. This was partially offset by the decline in European accessory sales and lower premium audio product sales in Europe and Asia.
Total operating expenses in the Fiscal 2025 six-month period were $64.3 million as compared to $76.1 million in the comparable Fiscal 2024 period, an improvement of $11.8 million or 15.5%. For the same comparable periods:
- Selling expenses of $17.4 million declined by $3.7 million or 17.7%, primarily due to lower advertising and web expenses, trade show expenses, employee salaries and related benefits, and commissions, among other factors.
- General and administrative expenses of $32.2 million declined by $4.4 million or 12.1%, primarily due to lower salary and related benefit expense, the absence of EyeLock LLC and former President Beat Kahli's salaries, lower legal and professional fees, and lower depreciation and amortization, among other factors.
- Engineering and technical support expenses of $12.3 million declined by $3.9 million or 23.8%, primarily due to lower research and development expenses, as well as lower labor expenses and related benefits as a result of headcount reductions.
- Restructuring costs of $2.3 million increased by $0.3 million or 12.7%.

Restructuring expenses also included costs related to the relocation of the Company's OEM manufacturing operations to Mexico.

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures recognized by GAAP. EBITDA represents net loss attributable to VOXX International Corporation and Subsidiaries, computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense and bank charges, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, gains on the sale of certain assets and businesses, foreign currency gains and losses, restructuring expenses, certain non-routine legal fees, and awards. Depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and foreign currency gains and losses are non-cash items.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this press release and in our Form 10-Q because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA helps us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash impact on our current operating performance. In addition, the exclusion of certain costs or gains relating to certain events allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period-to-period. These non-GAAP measures, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be assessed in isolation from, are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.

拉維爾繼續表示，「我們還着手進行戰略替代計劃，探索一切可能爲股東創造更好價值的途徑，鑑於我們認爲資產價值和股價存在明顯背離。這可能意味着出售我們的整個業務，或者額外的業務或資產剝離，因爲我們的投資組合內部仍然有重要價值，以及所擁有的房地產。無論結果如何，我們都將專注於讓VOXX重新盈利。通過重組計劃、OEm搬遷、強大的供應鏈管理以及我們的所有新計劃和產品，我們相信我們可以在本財年實現這一目標。我們正在積極採取行動，控制我們能夠抵消的任何經濟或商業環境可能帶來的影響。只要銷售按計劃在年度下半年實現，我們就將順利實現目標。」
