The purchase price allocation above is preliminary. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired were estimated with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert. The Company is in the process of refining the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including net working capital and intangible assets, and expects to finalize the purchase price allocation no later than one year after the acquisition date, which is July 1, 2026, in accordance with applicable guidance. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in significant changes in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value. The Company recorded net measurement period adjustments increasing goodwill $0.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, relating primarily to revised fair value estimates of developed technology and deferred tax assets. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies from the integration of the acquired business. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the BioConnect acquisition has been allocated to the Company's biometrics business. None of the goodwill from the BioConnect acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
Net sales attributable to BioConnect in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $2.4 million. Net income attributable to BioConnect for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $0.4 million. There were no acquisition costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or March 31, 2025, related to this acquisition.
VOXX International Corporation
On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its acquisition of VOXX pursuant to the previously announced Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of VOXX common stock not already owned by the Company for a purchase price of $7.50 per share, resulting in VOXX becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Gentex as of the Closing Date. Cash consideration totaling $148.3 million was paid by the Company on the Closing Date, using cash on hand. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805, and accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows for VOXX have been included in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the Closing Date.
Prior to obtaining a controlling interest in VOXX, the Company owned 6,463,808 shares of VOXX Class A Common Stock, or approximately 29%, and accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting, as the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over VOXX. The acquisition transaction was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages, or a step-acquisition, pursuant to ASC 805 and, as such, the Company was required to remeasure its preexisting equity interest in VOXX immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition to its estimated fair value of $48.5 million using the $7.50 per share acquisition price to determine the fair value of the equity investment. The Company previously recorded changes in fair value of the equity method investment in Investment (loss) income, net, each reporting period, and recorded a gain of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to VOXX. As a result, the fair value of the investment on the Closing Date was equal to the fair value of the investment on March 31, 2025, the date immediately prior to the acquisition, and no additional gain or loss was recorded on the Closing Date.
VOXX is a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive OEM and aftermarket electronics, and consumer technologies for the global markets, as well as premium audio solutions through world-renowned brands such as Klipsch®, Onkyo®, and Integra®. The merger also included EyeLock LLC ("EyeLock®"), a majority-owned subsidiary of VOXX, which holds iris biometric technology through its 50% ownership interest in the BioCenturion joint venture. This additional interest in BioCenturion was acquired by the Company in a separate transaction as discussed below. The acquisition of VOXX is a strategic addition to the Company's portfolio of products, as VOXX's product lines will both complement the Company's existing businesses and help the Company continue to expand in the consumer technology and connected home space. The Company has also gained all access to the EyeLock® iris biometric technology, which will provide further product applications in the Gentex automotive, aerospace, and medical markets.
The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the Closing Date. The fair value of the Class A Common Stock acquired through this step acquisition is included in the totals presented below:

Net assets acquired, excluding cash$187,658,422 $— $187,658,422 
The fair values of the assets acquired were estimated with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert. The Company recorded net measurement period adjustments totaling $16.5 million during 2025, and during the first quarter of 2026, relating primarily to the revised fair value estimates of liabilities for certain legal and contractual contingencies, employee compensation, royalties payable, and income taxes. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition was attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies, and expanded market opportunities, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the VOXX acquisition has been allocated to the Company's Premium Audio Products business. $2.9 million of the goodwill recognized in the
VOXX acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
Net sales attributable to VOXX in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $88.6 million. The net income attributable to VOXX for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $879,467 in acquisition costs related to the VOXX acquisition, which has been expensed as incurred in the "Selling, general & administrative" section of its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. No additional acquisition costs were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, related to this acquisition. VOXX's results of operations are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company within the Automotive, Premium Audio, Aftermarket, Consumer Electronics, and Biometrics operating segments. The Aftermarket, Consumer Electronics, and Biometrics operating segments are presented within the Company's Other reportable segment.
The non-controlling interests included in the net assets acquired in the transaction were comprised of a redeemable non-controlling interest in VOXX's Onkyo subsidiary, and a non-redeemable non-controlling interest in its EyeLock® subsidiary. In conjunction with VOXX's acquisition of Onkyo, a joint venture was formed between VOXX's wholly-owned Premium Audio Company ("PAC") subsidiary and its partner Sharp Corporation ("Sharp"). PAC owns 77.2% of the joint venture and has an 85.1% voting interest and Sharp owns 22.8% of the joint venture and has a 14.9% voting interest. The joint venture agreement between PAC and Sharp contains a put/call option, whereby Sharp has the right to put its interest in the joint venture back to VOXX and VOXX has the right to call Sharp’s ownership interest in the joint venture at any time after the approval of Onkyo’s annual financial statements for the year ending February 28, 2025, at a purchase price based on a formula as defined in the joint venture agreement.
The Onkyo non-controlling interest has been classified as redeemable non-controlling interest outside of equity on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as the exercise of the put option is not within VOXX’s control. The following table provides the rollforward of the redeemable non-controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

As of April 1, 2025, the net assets acquired in the VOXX transaction also included VOXX's non-redeemable non-controlling interest in its EyeLock® subsidiary. On August 18, 2025, the Company acquired the remaining equity interests in EyeLock® from its minority owners for cash consideration totaling $0.1 million.
In November 2024, the Company, in the ordinary course of business, acquired GalvanEyes LLC ("GalvanEyes"), which is the managing partner and 50% owner of the BioCenturion joint venture with Eyelock®. In conjunction with the acquisition of VOXX on April 1, 2025, the Company acquired VOXX's interest in BioCenturion through its majority ownership of Eyelock for cash consideration of $4.1 million.
