Gentex Corp Believes That Revenue Remains Difficult To Forecast For Remainder Of Year And Beyond; Says Co Has Been Likewise Affected By Industry-Wide Parts Shortages And Global Supply Constraints And Labor Shortages, As Well As UAW Strikes

- SEC Form 10 Filing

 

 

Automotive revenues represent approximately 97% - 99% of the Company's total revenue, consisting of interior and exterior electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and automotive electronics.

 

Even as the Company engages with automotive customers regarding the inflationary aspects of the business, it continues to experience pricing pressure from such customers and competitors, in addition to raw material cost increases, labor cost increases, and logistics costs, which will continue to cause downward pressure on its sales and profit margins. The Company works continuously to offset these supply chain issues and inflationary pressures with engineering and purchasing cost reductions, productivity improvements, increases in unit sales volume, and negotiations with customers to reduce the impact of the inflationary pressures, but there is no assurance the Company will be able to do so in the future.

 

Because the Company sells its products throughout the world, and automotive manufacturing is highly dependent on economic conditions, the Company can be affected by uncertain economic conditions that can reduce demand for its products, including the current inflationary environment. The Company has been likewise affected by industry-wide parts shortages and global supply constraints and labor shortages, as well as the UAW strikes.

 

The Company believes that its patents and trade secrets provide it with a competitive advantage in dimmable devices, electronics, and other features that it offers for the automotive, aerospace, and medical industry. Claims of patent infringement can be costly and time-consuming to address. To that end, the Company obtains intellectual property rights in the ordinary course of business to strengthen its intellectual property portfolio and to minimize the risk of infringement.

 

The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have not been recorded in its consolidated financial statements.
