We intend for the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.
Macroeconomic Conditions
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.
Manufacturing Footprint
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 material shutdown-related expenses recorded throughout the remainder of the year.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be significant and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
An accounting estimate is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably may have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may materially impact the financial statements. We do not believe that there have been any significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our reported results of operations expressed as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated.
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% |
| Cost of sales | 70.1 | 71.3 | 70.9 | 71.5 |

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $97.7 million compared to $90.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales by channel were as follows:
(In thousands)
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Connected home | $34,099 | $23,291 |
| Home entertainment | 63,566 | 67,161 |
| Total net sales | $97,665 | $90,452 |
Net sales in connected home were $34.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $23.3 million for the three months ended June 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.
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.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $29.2 million compared to $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. 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.
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.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. SG&A expenses decreased slightly to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Factory restructuring charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $1.6 million in expense, which included severance and moving costs associated with the streamlining of our factory in Mexico.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest expense, net decreased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of a lower average loan balance and lower interest rates.
Other income (expense), net. Other expense, net was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This was due to an increase in foreign currency losses resulting from the significant weakening of the U.S. Dollar in the second quarter of 2025.
Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, relative to a pre-tax loss of $1.1 million, compared to income tax expense of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, relative to a pre-tax loss of $5.4 million. Consistent with 2024, we expect the U.S. to be in a pre-tax loss position without benefit for the full year 2025, resulting in an elevated effective tax rate.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $190.0 million compared to $182.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales by channel were as follows:
(In thousands)
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Connected home | $65,828 | $47,462 |
| Home entertainment | 124,163 | 134,890 |
| Total net sales | $189,991 | $182,352 |
Net sales in connected home were $65.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $47.5 million for the six months ended June 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.
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.
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.
R&D expenses. R&D expenses decreased to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to headcount reductions.
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.
Factory restructuring charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $2.6 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.
Interest income (expense), net. Interest expense, net decreased to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of a lower average loan balance and lower interest rates.
Other income (expense), net. Other expense, net was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was due to an increase in foreign currency losses resulting from the significant weakening of the U.S. Dollar in the second quarter of 2025.
Provision for income taxes. Income tax expense was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, relative to a pre-tax loss of $5.2 million, compared to income tax expense of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, relative to a pre-tax loss of $13.3 million. Consistent with 2024, we expect the U.S. to be in a pre-tax loss position without benefit for the full year 2025, resulting in an elevated effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Cash
Historically, we have utilized cash provided from operations as our primary source of liquidity, as internally generated cash flows have typically been sufficient to support our business operations, capital expenditures and discretionary share repurchases. When needed, we have utilized our revolving lines of credit to fund operations, share repurchases and acquisitions. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize both cash flows from operations and our revolving lines of credit to support ongoing business operations, capital expenditures, discretionary share repurchases and potential acquisitions. We believe our current cash balances, anticipated cash flow to be generated from operations and available borrowing resources will be sufficient to cover expected cash outlays for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter; however, because our cash is located in various jurisdictions throughout the world, we may at times need to increase borrowing from our revolving lines of credit or take on additional debt until we are able to transfer cash among our various entities.
Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks discussed under "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."
(In thousands)
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $34,261 | $26,783 |
| Available borrowing resources | $34,600 | $32,300 |
Cash and cash equivalents – On June 30, 2025, we had $1.9 million, $13.4 million, $4.1 million, $7.6 million and $7.3 million of cash and cash equivalents in North America, the PRC, Asia (excluding the PRC), Europe, and South America, respectively. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions we believe are high quality.
Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. The majority of our cash is held outside of the United States and may be repatriated to the United States but, under current law, may be subject to federal and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. Additionally, repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws.
Available Borrowing Resources – Our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Second Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association provides for a revolving line of credit ("U.S. Credit Line") that expires on April 30, 2026. We expect to renew the U.S. 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.
The U.S. Credit Line has a maximum availability up to $75.0 million, subject to meeting certain financial conditions, including an accounts receivable coverage ratio ("AR Ratio"). This AR Ratio is calculated monthly and adjusts the current U.S. Credit Line total availability. At June 30, 2025, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $53.6 million based upon the AR Ratio. At July 15, 2025, the U.S. Credit Line total availability was $57.1 million based upon the AR Ratio.
The U.S. Credit Line may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. Amounts available for borrowing under the U.S. Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were none at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had an outstanding balance of $19.0 million on our U.S. Credit Line and $34.6 million of availability.
Our subsidiary, Gemstar Technology (Yangzhou) Co. Ltd. ("GTY"), has a Line of Credit Agreement ("Line of Credit Agreement") with the Bank of China, which provides for a revolving line of credit ("China Credit Line" and, together with the U.S. Credit Line, "Credit Lines"). As a continuation of the agreement, on July 30, 2025, we executed an amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, which extends the term of the China Credit Line to July 16, 2026. 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.
At June 30, 2025, the China Credit Line had a maximum availability up to RMB 80.0 million (approximately $11.2 million), subject to meeting certain financial conditions. At July 30, 2025, as part of the executed amendment, the China Credit Line maximum availability increased to RMB 130.0 million (approximately $18.1 million).
The China Credit Line may be used for working capital purposes. Amounts available for borrowing under the China Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were none at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had an outstanding balance of RMB 80.0 million (approximately $11.2 million) on our China Credit Line and no remaining availability.
See Note 8 contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information regarding our Credit Lines.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our cash flows were as follows:
(In thousands)
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Increase (Decrease) | Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash provided by (used for) operating activities | $17,705 | $15,030 | $2,675 |
| Cash provided by (used for) investing activities | (3,989) | 1,015 | (5,004) |
| Cash provided by (used for) financing activities | (7,748) | 8,093 | (15,841) |
| Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents | 1,510 | 2,963 | (1,453) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $7,478 | $27,101 | $(19,623) |
| June 30, 2025 | Increase (Decrease) | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $34,261 | $7,478 | $26,783 |
| Working capital | $87,061 | $2,858 | $84,203 |
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.
Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.0 million, of which $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $1.5 million was used for the purchase of Blue Chip Swap securities, capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively. Offsetting these amounts was $2.3 million received upon the sale of Blue Chip Swap securities. Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $5.0 million, of which $2.7 million and $2.3 million was used for capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively.
Future cash flows used for investing activities are largely dependent on the timing and amount of capital expenditures and the development of patents, respectively. We estimate that we will incur between $5.0 million and $7.0 million during the remainder of 2025.
Net cash used for financing activities was $7.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $15.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The primary financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were borrowings and repayments on our Credit Lines and repurchases of shares of our common stock. Net repayments on our Credit Lines were $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $14.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 101,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $0.7 million compared to our repurchase of 195,000 shares at a cost of $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Future cash flows used for financing activities are affected by our financing needs, which are largely dependent on the level of cash provided by or used in operations and the level of cash used in investing activities. Additionally, potential future repurchases of shares of our common stock will impact our cash flows used for financing activities. See Note 13 contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information regarding our share repurchase programs.

As filed, 5,562 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
We are exposed to various market risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of these risks and the use of financial instruments to mitigate our risk exposure.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our debt. From time to time, we borrow amounts on our Credit Lines for working capital and other liquidity needs. Under the Second Amended Credit Agreement, we pay interest on outstanding borrowings on our U.S. Credit Line based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement. Under our Line of Credit Agreement, we pay interest on outstanding borrowings on our China Credit Line based on the one-year rate from the National Interbank Funding Center, less a 0.1% margin. Accordingly, changes in interest rates would impact our results of operations in future periods. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have an approximately $0.2 million annual impact on net income based on our outstanding Credit Lines balance at June 30, 2025.
We cannot make any assurances that we will not need to borrow additional amounts in the future or that funds from the existing Credit Lines will continue to be available to us or that other funds will be extended to us under comparable terms or at all. If funding is not available to us at a time when we need to borrow, we would have to use our cash reserves, including potentially repatriating cash from foreign jurisdictions, which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
At June 30, 2025, we had wholly-owned subsidiaries in Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, the PRC, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom and Vietnam. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases, operating expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The most significant foreign currencies to our operations are the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Vietnamese Dong, Indian Rupee, Hong Kong Dollar, Brazilian Real, Japanese Yen and Korean Won. Our most significant foreign currency exposure is to the Chinese Yuan Renminbi as this is the functional currency of our PRC-based factory where the majority of our products originate. If the Chinese Yuan Renminbi were to strengthen against the U.S. Dollar, our manufacturing costs would increase. We are generally a net payor of the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Mexican Peso, Vietnamese Dong, Indian Rupee, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen and Korean Won and therefore benefit from a stronger U.S. Dollar and are adversely affected by a weaker U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. For the Euro, British Pound and Brazilian Real, we are generally a net receiver of the foreign currency and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. Dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. Even where we are a net receiver, a weaker U.S. Dollar may adversely affect certain expense figures taken alone.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted income and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The terms of these foreign currency exchange agreements normally last less than nine months. We recognize the gains and losses on these foreign currency contracts in the same period as the remeasurement losses and gains of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures.
It is difficult to estimate the impact of fluctuations on reported income, as it depends on the opening and closing rates, the average net balance sheet positions held in a foreign currency and the amount of income generated in local currency. We routinely forecast what these balance sheet positions and income generated in local currency may be and we take steps to minimize exposure as we deem appropriate. Alternatively, we may choose not to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our foreign currency exposures, primarily if such exposure acts as a natural foreign currency hedge for other offsetting amounts denominated in the same currency or the currency is difficult or too expensive to hedge. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an approximate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currency with all other variables held constant. The analysis includes all of our foreign currency contracts offset by the underlying exposures. Based on our overall foreign currency rate exposure at June 30, 2025, we believe that movements in foreign currency rates may have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. We estimate that if the exchange rates for the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Indian Rupee, Hong Kong Dollar, Brazilian Real, Japanese Yen, Korean Won and Vietnamese Dong relative to the U.S. Dollar fluctuate 10% from June 30, 2025, net income in the third quarter of 2025 would fluctuate by approximately $3.5 million.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 2,260 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(d) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") defines "disclosure controls and procedures" to mean controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The definition further states that disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Risk factors
As filed, 407 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report, the risk factors discussed in "Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors" of the 2024 Form 10-K and in the periodic reports we have filed since then. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere.
