Gentex Q1 net sales fall 2% to $576.8 million; cuts 2025 revenue guidance
Gentex reported first-quarter 2025 net sales of $576.8 million, down 2% from $590.2 million a year earlier, and net income of $94.9 million, down from $108.2 million. The company cut its 2025 revenue guidance for its primary markets and withdrew its 2026 revenue guidance, citing tariffs and a halt to production for the China market, which lowers the outlook for shareholders.
