1.b. Last Insights on KOSS

Koss Corporation's recent performance was negatively impacted by tariff headwinds and weak U.S. demand, leading to a wider year-over-year loss in Q4. The company's results were partially offset by stronger export and direct-to-consumer sales. Newly imposed tariffs exacerbated the challenges. Additionally, the company's fourth quarter and full year results, ended June 30, 2025, reflected these difficulties. The earnings release highlighted the struggles, with a focus on mitigating the effects of tariffs and weak demand.
