In 2020, Voxx International Corporation announced the change of name Klipsch Holding, LLC, which became Premium Audio Company, LLC. Premium Audio Company, LLC consists of two subsidiaries: Klipsch Group, Inc (brands: Klipsch, Jamo, Energy, ProMedia) and 11 Trading Company, LLC.[2]

In May 2021, Voxx International and Sharp Corporation began negotiations with Onkyo to purchase its home audiovisual division.[3] Voxx's subsidiary Premium Audio Company (PAC) entered a joint venture with Sharp to acquire the business, which includes the Onkyo and Integra brands, for $30.8 million. PAC would own 75% of the joint venture and Sharp 25%. PAC would manage all product development, engineering, sales, marketing, and distribution while Sharp would be responsible for manufacturing and supply chain management of Onkyo products. The acquisition was completed in September 2021.[4][5]

Restatements

On March 14, 2003, Audiovox said it planned to restate results for the first three quarters of fiscal 2002, following a review of the effect of the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force regulations on its statements. The restatement would lower revenue by about $462,000, and increase income by $36,000.[8] On April 15, 2003, Audiovox announced to restate results for fiscal years 2000, 2001, and the first three quarters of fiscal 2002.
