GENTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2018 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
(2) Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal Year 2019
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases, which provides guidance for lease accounting. The new guidance contained in the ASU stipulates that lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. Treatment in the consolidated statements of income will be similar to the historical treatment of operating and capital leases. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet or consolidated income statement. Disclosures are now required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrument s. The standard requires a change in the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an incurred loss method to an expected loss method, thereby eliminating the requirement that a credit loss be considered probable to impact the valuation of a financial asset measured on an amortized cost basis. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast that affects the collectability of the related financial asset. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(3) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company recorded Goodwill of $307.4 million as part of the HomeLink® acquisition. The carrying value of Goodwill as of both December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was $307.4 million.
In addition to annual impairment testing, which is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value thus resulting in the need for interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general

industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. No such events or circumstances in the most recently completed quarter indicated the need for interim impairment testing.

Amortization expense on patents and intangible assets was approximately $5.6 million and $11.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to approximately $5.6 million and $11.3 million for the same periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, the Company continues to estimate amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021 to be approximately $22 million annually, approximately $21 million for 2022, and approximately $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(4) Investments
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, and for its non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value

determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases, require estimates of fair-market value. This standard also expanded financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair-value measurements, including the effect of such measurement on earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
The Company determines the fair value of its government securities, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds by utilizing monthly valuation statements that are provided by its broker. The broker determines the investment valuation by utilizing the bid price in the market and also refers to third party sources to validate valuations, and as such are classified as Level 2 assets.
The Company's certificates of deposit have remaining maturities of less than one year and are considered as Level 1 assets. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Company will also periodically make technology investments in certain non-consolidated third-parties. These equity investments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, and where the Company has not identified any observable events that would cause adjustment of the valuation to date, such equity investments are held at cost. These technology investments totaled $7.6 million and $3.85 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These investments are classified within Long-Term Investments in the consolidated balance sheet.
Assets or liabilities that have recurring fair value measurements are shown below as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(6) Earnings Per Share
The Company has unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends, which are considered participating securities under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company allocates earnings to participating securities and computes earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, net income is allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted average shares outstanding for the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share under the two-class method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had two equity incentive plans, which include the Gentex Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2019 Omnibus Plan"), and an employee stock purchase plan. Those plans and any prior material amendments thereto have previously been approved by shareholders.
In February 2019, the Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved the 2019 Omnibus Plan, which was then approved by shareholders in May 2019. The 2019 Omnibus Plan provides for the potential awards to: i) employees; and ii) non-employee directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, which awards may be stock options, both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards and performance units, and other awards that are stock-based, cash-based or a combination of both. Upon shareholder approval, the 2019 Omnibus Plan replaced the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan, Second Restricted Stock Plan, and Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Plans"), which Prior Plans were also approved by shareholders. Any existing awards previously granted under the Prior Plans, including those made to non-officers in the first quarter of 2019, remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and are governed by the Prior Plans as applicable.
Readers should refer to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018, for additional information related to the Prior Plans.
The Company recognized compensation expense for share-based payments of $5,200,045 and $9,986,839 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $4,465,634 and $8,366,949 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Compensation cost for share based payment awards capitalized as part of inventory as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $319,080 and $242,673, respectively.
2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders during the second quarter (thereby replacing the Prior Plans) and covers 45,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to motivate and provide such persons incentives and rewards for performance.
Employee Stock Options
The 2019 Omnibus Plan replaced the Company's shareholder approved Employee Stock Option Plan.
Under the 2019 Omnibus Plan and the Employee Stock Option Plan, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on the date of grant. The options vest after one to five years, and expire after five to ten years. As of June 30, 2019, there was $7,397,810 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |  |
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Dividend Yield (1) | 2.03 | % |  | 1.99 | % |  | 2.03 | % |  | 2.09 | %
Expected volatility (2) | 23.71 | % |  | 23.27 | % |  | 23.64 | % |  | 26.68 | %
Risk-free interest rate (3) | 1.76 | % |  | 2.73 | % |  | 2.00 | % |  | 2.83 | %
Expected term of options (years) (4) | 4.17 |  | 4.19 |  | 4.18 |  | 4.60
Weighted-avg. grant date fair value | $4.23 |  | $4.28 |  | $3.96 |  | $5.03

1.Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant.
2.Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant.
3.Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant.
4.Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.
Restricted Shares
The 2019 Omnibus Plan replaced the Company's shareholder approved Second Restricted Stock Plan.
Restricted shares awarded under the 2019 Omnibus Plan and the Second Restricted Stock Plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The restriction period is determined by the Compensation Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, but may not exceed ten years under the terms of such plans. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $43,851,893 associated with the restricted stock grants issued under the 2019 Omnibus Plan and the prior plan. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable restriction periods. Amortization expense from restricted stock grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3,274,411 and $6,046,175, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,189,938 and $3,832,998, respectively.
Performance Shares
Performance shares awarded under the 2019 Omnibus Plan are considered performance condition awards as attainment is based on the Company's performance relative to pre-established metrics. The fair value of such performance share awards was determined using the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant. The expected attainment of the metrics for these awards is then analyzed each reporting period, and the related expense is adjusted based on expected attainment, if the then expected attainment differs from previous expectations. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in expected attainment is recognized in the period of change.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had unearned stock-based compensation of $2,726,924 associated with these performance share grants. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable performance periods. Amortization expense from performance share grants in the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $257,756. No amortization expense for performance share grants was incurred in 2018.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan covering 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the plan, the Company sells shares at 85% of the stock’s market price at date of purchase. Under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, the 15% discounted value is recognized as compensation expense. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has issued 1,063,052 shares under this plan.

(10) Equity
The decrease in common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to the repurchases of 7.8 million shares, partially offset by the issuance of 3.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The total net decrease was 4.5 million shares.
The Company announced a $0.005 (1/2 cent) per share increase in its quarterly cash dividend rate during the first quarter of 2019. As such, the Company recorded a cash dividend of $0.115 during the second quarter of 2019 as compared to a cash dividend of $0.110 per share during the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter 2019 dividend of $29.3 million was declared on June 11, 2019, and was paid on July 24, 2019.
(11) Contingencies
The Company is periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to product liability, intellectual property, safety and health, employment, regulatory, and other matters. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable. The Company does not believe, however, that at the current time any of these matters constitute material pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or future results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
(12) Segment Reporting
The Company's automotive segment develops and manufactures digital vision and connected car products and electronics, including: automatic-dimming rearview mirrors with and without electronic features; non-auto dimming rearview mirrors with and without electronic features; and other electronics.

(13) Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 16.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 15.5% for the same period in 2018. Generally, effective tax rates for these periods differ from statutory federal income tax rates, due to provisions for state and local income taxes, permanent tax differences, and the foreign-derived intangible income tax deduction. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the current year.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
SECOND QUARTER 2019 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2018
Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $13.7 million or 3% when compared with the second quarter of 2018.
Automotive net sales for the second quarter of 2019 increased 3% to $456.6 million, compared with automotive net sales of $444.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by a 2% quarter over quarter increase in automotive mirror unit shipments. The 2% increase in automotive mirror unit shipments in the second quarter of 2019 to 10.8 million units compared with 10.6 million units in the second quarter of 2018, was primarily due to an increase of 39% for North American unit shipments of the Company's exterior auto-dimming mirrors on a quarter over quarter basis, as opposed to international mirror unit shipments, which were down 2% on a quarter over quarter basis.
The below table represents the Company's auto-dimming mirror unit shipments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 (in thousands).

Other net sales were $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 13%, compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2018. This increase is in large part attributable to a 16% quarter over quarter improvement in variable dimmable aircraft windows sales, which increased from $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. Fire protection sales increased by 10% in the second quarter of 2019 to $6.4 million, compared to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2018.
Cost of Goods Sold. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 62.3% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 62.0% in the second quarter of 2018. The quarter over quarter net decrease in the gross profit margin was primarily the result of annual customer price reductions and tariffs enacted in the second half of calendar year 2018, which was partially offset by improvements in product mix related to certain advance feature products as well as purchasing cost reductions. On a quarter over quarter basis, annual customer price reductions had a negative impact of approximately 150 - 200 basis points and the above-referenced enacted tariffs had a negative impact of approximately 50 - 100 basis points. Purchasing cost reductions had a positive impact of approximately 100 -150 basis points, and product mix improvements independently had a positive impact of approximately 50 -100 basis points on a quarter over quarter basis.

The Company has 26,041,610 shares remaining under the plan as of June 30, 2019, as is further detailed in Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
BUSINESS UPDATE
The Company's overall revenue growth during the second quarter of 2019 out-paced word-wide light vehicle production growth by approximately eleven percent (11%) in large part due to the many different product launches that have been executed in 2018 and year to date in 2019. The Company's unit and revenue growth continue to be driven by the Company's electrochromic technology, the success of the Full Display Mirror®, as well as other electronic features, such as the Integrated Toll Module and HomeLink®.
Interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors and advanced electronic features were launched on 33 new vehicle models during the second quarter of 2019. The launches were led by increased launch levels in HomeLink® and Full Display Mirror®.
PRODUCT UPDATE
The Full Display Mirror® began production in the fourth quarter of 2015. Current automotive design trends are yielding vehicles with small rear windows that are often further obstructed by headrests, passengers, and roof support pillars which can significantly hinder the mirror’s rearward view. The Company's Full Display Mirror® is an intelligent rear vision system that uses a custom, internally or externally mounted video camera and mirror-integrated video display to optimize a vehicle driver’s rearward view. This rear vision system consists of a hybrid Full Display Mirror® that offers bi-modal functionality. In mirror mode, the product functions as an auto-dimming rearview mirror which means that during nighttime driving, digital light sensors talk to one another via a microprocessor to automatically darken the mirror when glare is detected. With the flip of a switch, the mirror enters display mode, and a clear, bright display appears through the mirror’s reflective surface, providing a wide, unobstructed rearward view. The bi-modality of the Full Display Mirror® is essential, because in the event of any failure of the camera or display, the product is able to function as a mirror, which meets long-standing safety requirements in the automotive industry. In addition, the driver has the ability to switch between modes to accommodate usage preferences for various weather conditions, lighting conditions, and driving tasks.
As of the second quarter of 2019, the Company is shipping production Full Display Mirrors® to five OEMs, which are General Motors, Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, and Jaguar Land Rover. The launches for Jaguar Land Rover are the first launches with a European based OEM and include product shipments that will be used for global applications on these vehicles. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company launched four additional nameplates, which means the Company is currently shipping on 30 vehicle nameplates for Full Display Mirror®. The Company continues to see interest from other automotive OEMs and is negotiating with other OEMs on an on-going basis. The Company remains confident that on-going discussions with certain other OEMs, in the future, may cause such OEM's to consider adding the Full Display Mirror® into their product roadmap for future vehicles.

In 2017, the Company introduced a new three-camera rear vision system that streams rear video in multiple composite views to its Full Display Mirror®. The Company believes it is the industry’s first practical and comprehensive rear vision solution designed to meet automaker, driver, safety and regulatory requirements. The Company's rear vision system, known generally as a camera monitoring system ("CMS"), uses three cameras to provide a comprehensive view of the sides and rear of the vehicle. The side-view cameras are discretely housed in downsized, automatic-dimming exterior mirrors. Their video feeds are combined with that of a roof-mounted camera and stitched together into multiple composite views, which are streamed to the driver using the Full Display Mirror®. The system’s modular nature lets the automaker customize functionality while offering it as an affordable, optional feature thereby enhancing safety by allowing the system to fail safe. During any failures due to weather conditions or otherwise that disrupt the digital view, drivers can still safely use the interior and exterior mirrors. The system also supports user preference by permitting drivers to use standard mirror views, camera views, or both. Downsized exterior mirrors provide automakers with significant weight savings and fuel efficiency improvements. To further enhance safety, the Company's CMS solution can also work in conjunction with a vehicle’s side blind zone warning system. When a trailing vehicle enters a side blind zone, a warning indicator illuminates in both the interior and exterior mirrors while the corresponding side-view video feed appears in the display until the vehicle passes.
On March 31, 2014, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") to allow automakers to use cameras as an option to replace conventional rearview mirrors within the United States, however, no final rule or legislation has been made in response to this petition. At the annual SAE Government-Industry Meeting in January 2017, NHTSA requested that SAE develop Recommended Procedures for test protocols and performance criteria for CMS that would replace mirror systems on light vehicles in the U.S. market. SAE assigned the task to the Driver Vision Committee, and the SAE Driver Vision Committee created a CMS Task Force to draft the Recommended Procedures. In the second half of 2018, the Office of Management and Budget published its regulatory and deregulatory agenda, which included a reference to a prerule stage for NHTSA related to amending the rear visibility standard to allow the option for camera-monitor systems to replace mirrors. Also, NHTSA published a report dated October 2018 related to camera monitoring systems for outside mirror replacements.
In July 2016, a revision to UN-ECE Regulation 46 was published with an effective date of June 18, 2016, which allows for CMS to replace mirrors in Japan and European countries. As of January 2017, CMS are also permitted as an alternative to replace mirrors in the Korean market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company continues to believe rearview mirrors provide a robust, simple and cost effective means to view the surrounding areas of a vehicle and remain the primary safety function for rear vision. Cameras when used as the primary rear vision delivery mechanism have some inherent limitations such as: electrical failure; cameras being blocked or obstructed; depth perception challenges; and viewing angles of the camera. Nonetheless, the Company continues designing and manufacturing not only rearview mirrors, but CMOS imagers and video displays as well. The Company believes that combining video displays with mirrors may well provide a more robust product by addressing all driving conditions in a single solution that can be controlled by the driver. As noted, the Company is currently in production with a rear vision camera system that streams rear video to a rearview-mirror-integrated display using the Company's Full Display Mirror®. The Company's CMS solution uses three cameras to provide a comprehensive view of the sides and rear of the vehicle. The Company also continues to develop in the areas of imager performance, camera dynamic range, lens design, image processing from the camera to the display, and camera lens cleaning. The Company acknowledges that as such technology evolves over time, such as cameras replacing mirrors and/or autonomous driving, there could be increased competition.
The Company's HomeLink® products are the auto industry's most widely used and trusted car-to-home communication system, with an estimated 50 million units on the road. The system consists of two or three in-vehicle buttons that can be programmed to operate garage doors, security gates, home lighting, and other radio-frequency-controlled devices. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company demonstrated the next generation of HomeLink®, commonly referred to as HomeLink ConnectTM which uses both RF and wireless cloud-based connectivity to deliver complete vehicle-to-home automation. With the HomeLink ConnectTM, a HomeLink® button press communicates with the HomeLink ConnectTM app on the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy. The app contains predefined, user-programmed actions, from single device operations to entire home automation scenes. The app, in turn, communicates to the home’s smart hub over the cloud server network and activates the appropriate devices, including security systems, door
26

locks, thermostats, lighting, and other home automation devices, providing comprehensive vehicle-to-home automation. The ability to prepare the home for arrival or departure can occur with one button press. For the automaker, it allows them to offer a customizable, yet proven solution without the engineering effort or security concerns associated with integrating the software into the vehicle’s computer network. The Company also continues to work on providing HomeLink® applications for alternative automobile and vehicle types which include but are not limited to motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, tractors, combines, lawn mowers, loaders, bulldozers, road-graders, backhoes and golf carts. The Company further continues to work with compatibility partners for HomeLink® applications in new markets like China. The unique attributes of the China market allow for potential new use cases of these products and offer what the Company believes to be a real opportunity for growth of the HomeLink® brand and products. In 2017, the Company began its first volume production shipments of HomeLink® units on vehicles for the China market.
In January 2016, the Company announced a partnership with TransCore to provide automobile manufacturers with a vehicle-integrated tolling solution that enables motorists to drive on all U.S. toll roads without a traditional toll tag on the windshield. Currently more than 75 percent of new car registrations are in states with toll roads with over 50 million drivers accessing these roads each year. The Company signed an exclusive agreement, in the ordinary course of business, to integrate TransCore's toll module technology into the Company's rearview mirrors. In January 2017, the Company signed an extension of its agreement in the ordinary course of business, which enables the Company to offer the Integrated Toll Module system in Canada and Mexico. The interior mirror is the optimal location for a vehicle-integrated toll transponder and it eliminates the need to affix multiple toll tags to the windshield and helps automakers seamlessly integrate toll collection into the car. Since the Integrated Toll Module® or ITM® enables travel across almost all United States toll roads, and others in North America, motorists would no longer need multiple toll tags for different regions of the country or to manage multiple toll accounts. The Company's vehicle-integrated solution simplifies and expedites local, regional, and national travel. ITM® provides transportation agencies with an interoperability solution without costly infrastructure changes to the thousands of miles of toll lanes throughout the country. The Company believes that this product could potentially represent another growth opportunity over the next several years. The Company has its first OEM award of ITM® with Audi. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company began its first volume shipments of the ITM® product to Audi. During the second quarter of 2019, the first consumers began registering their ITM® systems online to activate the device and began using the system for normal tolling use. The Company will monitor and assess feedback from consumers, dealers, and the OEM in order to help others understand the use case and acceptance of this product. Over the next 18 months, the Company expects further ITM® nameplate launches with Audi, as well as the initial launch of ITM® at two additional OEMs. These OEM launches are targeted to begin production shipments in the 2020 or 2021 time periods.
Further, the Company has previously announced an embedded biometric solution for vehicles that leverages iris scanning technology to create a secure environment in the vehicle. There are many use cases for authentication, which range from vehicle security to start functionality to personalization of mirrors, music, seat location and temperature, to the ability to control transactions not only for the ITM® system, but also the ride sharing car of the future. The Company believes iris recognition is among the most secure forms of biometric identification, with a false acceptance rate as low as one in 10 million, far superior to facial, voice, and other biometric systems. The Company's future plans include integrating biometric authentication with HomeLink® and HomeLink ConnectTM. The biometric system will allow HomeLink® to provide added security and convenience for multiple drivers by activating the unique home automation presets of different authorized users. The Company announced in January 2018 that it completed an exclusive licensing agreement, in the ordinary course of business, with Fingerprint Cards AB to deploy its ActiveIRIS® iris-scanning biometric technology in automotive applications.
In January 2018, the Company also announced that an agreement had been signed, in the ordinary course of business, to participate in a round of financing with Yonomi, the Company's partner in home automation technology. The Company is working with Yonomi as a home automation aggregation partner and the Company has developed an app and cloud infrastructure known as HomeLink ConnectTM. As discussed above, HomeLink ConnectTM is the home automation app that pairs with the vehicle and allows drivers to operate home automation devices from the vehicle's center console display. Drivers of HomeLink ConnectTM compatible vehicles will be able to download and configure the app to control many available home automation devices and create entire home automation settings.

SmartBeam® is the Company's proprietary high beam control system integrated into its auto-dimming mirror. SmartBeam® Generation 4, which was developed using the fourth generation of the Company's custom designed CMOS imager, has an advanced feature set made possible by the high dynamic range of the imager including: high beam assist; dynamic forward lighting with high beams constantly on; LED matrix beam; and a variety of specific detection applications including tunnel, fog and road type as well as certain lane tracking features to assist with lighting control. The Company has the ability to package the control electronics inside of its interior rearview mirrors with a self-calibrating camera attached to the mirror mount with optimal mechanical packaging which also provides for ease of service. In addition, the Company has long been integrating its camera products to optimize performance by fusing with other systems on the vehicle, including radar, navigation, steering and related modules provided by other suppliers. This enables the Company to provide its customers with a highly customizable solution that meets their unique needs and specifications.
The European New Car Assessment Program ("Euro NCAP") provides an incentive for automobiles sold in Europe to apply safety technologies that include driver assist features such as lane detection, vehicle detection, and pedestrian detection as standard equipment. Euro NCAP compliant driver assist systems are also capable of including high beam assist as a function. The increased application of Euro NCAP on European vehicles could potentially replace the Company's SmartBeam® application on these vehicles.
On December 8, 2015 NHTSA proposed changes to the NHTSA's 5-Star Safety Ratings for new vehicles (also known as the New Car Assessment Program or NCAP) and initiated a comment period. The proposed changes will, for the first time, encompass assessment of crash-avoidance technologies, which includes lower beam headlamp performance, semi-automatic headlamp switching, and blind spot detection. NHTSA initially intended to implement the enhancements in NCAP in 2018 beginning with model year 2019 vehicles. The NCAP implementation has been delayed, and on August 5, 2018, NHTSA published a notice seeking public comment on NCAP with a deadline of October 1, 2018 for the submission of written comments. The Company believes that its SmartBeam® technology will qualify with the semi-automatic headlamp NCAP rating system, and that its SmartBeam® technology and exterior mirrors with blind spot alert lighting can be included in a system that qualifies with the lower beam headlamp performance and blind spot detection NCAP rating system, respectively.
On October 12, 2018, NHTSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") for amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard ("FMVSS") No. 108: Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment, and initiated a comment period. The NPRM proposes amendments that would permit the certification of adaptive driving beam headlighting systems, if the manufacturer chooses to equip vehicles with these systems. NHTSA proposes to establish appropriate performance requirements to ensure the safe introduction of adaptive driving beam headlighting systems if equipped on newly manufactured vehicles. The Company believes that its dynamic SmartBeam® lighting control system (dynamic forward lighting or DFL), which has been sold in markets outside of North America for several years, will meet the requirements of the new FMVSS 108 standards, if amended. The Company's SmartBeam® application has and will continue to be affected by increased competition by suppliers of multi-function driver assist camera products, which are able to achieve some of the same functionality as SmartBeam® but at a lower cost, due to other suppliers leveraging similar hardware costs, but offering products with multiple software features.
The Company previously announced that it is providing variably dimmable windows for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner series of aircraft. The Company continues to work with other aircraft manufacturers that have an interest in this technology regarding potential additional programs. In January 2019, the Company announced that its latest generation of dimmable aircraft windows will be offered as optional content on the new Boeing 777X.

Automotive revenues represent approximately 97% - 98% of the Company's total revenue, consisting of interior and exterior electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and automotive electronics.
The Company does continue to experience pricing pressure from its automotive customers and competitors, which will continue to cause downward pressure on its sales and profit margins. The Company works continuously to offset these price reductions with engineering and purchasing cost reductions,
28

productivity improvements, and increases in unit sales volume, 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.
The Company believes that its patents and trade secrets provide it with a competitive advantage in dimmable devices and other electronic features that it offers in vehicles and the aerospace 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.

Based on the aforementioned light vehicle product forecasts, as well as the estimated option rates for its products on prospective vehicle models and anticipated product mix, the Company currently estimates that top line revenue for calendar year 2019 will be between $1.87 and $1.90 billion.
The Company continues to see order rates and booked business that allow for these estimates despite period-over-period year declines in light vehicle production in its primary markets. Nevertheless, ongoing uncertainties remain including: light vehicle production levels; impacts of already in place and potential additional future tariffs; impacts of regulation changes; automotive plant shutdowns; supplier part shortages; sales rates in Europe, Asia and North America; OEM strategies and cost pressures; customer inventory management and the impact of potential automotive customer (including their Tier 1 suppliers) and supplier bankruptcies; work stoppages, strikes, etc., all of which could disrupt shipments to these customers and make forecasting difficult.
Based on actual results for the first six months of 2019, currently forecasted revenues for the remainder of 2019, anticipated product mix and anticipated tariff costs, the Company now estimates that the gross profit margin will be between 36.5% and 37.5% for calendar year 2019.
The Company continues to estimate that its operating expenses, which include E, R & D expenses and S, G & A expenses, are expected to be approximately $195 - $200 million for calendar year 2019, primarily due to staffing costs, professional fees and travel expenses, which continue to support growth and the development of new business and technology advances.
In light of on-going demand for the Company's auto-dimming mirrors and electronics, and based on actual spending levels through the first six months of 2019, the Company continues to anticipate that 2019 capital expenditures will be approximately $90 - $100 million, the majority of which will be equipment purchases. Capital expenditures in the calendar year 2019 are currently anticipated to be financed from current cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows from operating activities.
Based on actual results for the first six months of 2019, and expected projects in the third quarter, the Company now estimates that depreciation and amortization expense for calendar year 2019 will be approximately $100 - $110 million.
The Company now estimates its effective annual tax rate for calendar year 2019 to be in the range of 16.0% to 17.0%.
In accordance with the previously announced share repurchase plan, the Company intends to continue to repurchase additional shares of its common stock in 2019, but share repurchases may vary from time to time and will take into account macroeconomic events, market trends, and other factors the Company

deems appropriate (including the market price of the stock, anti-dilutive effect of repurchases, and available cash).
Finally, based on available light vehicle production forecasts and current forecasted product mix, the Company is making no changes to its previously announced revenue estimates for calendar year 2020, which continues to be estimated to be over and above the foregoing 2019 revenue estimates in the range of 3% to 8%.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements contained in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and/or on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company’s estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company has identified critical accounting policies used in determining estimates and assumptions in the amounts reported in its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is subject to market risk exposures of varying correlations and volatilities, including foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Fluctuating interest rates could negatively impact the Company's financial performance due to realized losses on the sale of fixed income investments and/or recognized losses due to other-than-temporary impairment adjustment on available for sale securities (mark-to-market adjustments). During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there are no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, except as set forth in Item 2.
The Company has some assets, liabilities and operations outside the United States, including euro-denominated accounts, which currently are not significant overall to the Company as a whole. Because the Company sells its automotive mirrors throughout the world, and automotive manufacturing is highly dependent on general economic conditions, the Company could be affected by uncertain economic conditions in foreign markets that can reduce demand for its products.
Item 4. Controls And Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision of, and with the participation of management, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2019, and have concluded that as of that date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
