Exhibit 99.1
VOXX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On August 31, 2017, Voxx International Corporation ("Voxx" or "the Company") closed the previously announced sale of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries ("Hirschmann") pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2017 (the "Sale and Purchase Agreement") with a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd (the "Purchaser"). The consideration received by the Company was approximately 149.0 million Euro, or $170.0 based on the terms of the sale and forward contracts at an average U.S. dollar exchange rate of approximately 1.14. The purchase price, at the exchange rate on the date of closing approximated $177.0 and is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to Voxx's Form 10-Q for the Company's second fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2017.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented to comply with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and follow prescribed SEC regulations. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to present what the Company’s results would have been had the disposition actually occurred on the dates indicated or to project what the Company’s results of operations or financial position would be for any future period. The prescribed regulations limit pro forma adjustments to those that are directly attributable to the disposition, that are factually supportable and with respect to the pro forma statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), that are expected to have a continuing impact. Consequently, the Company was not permitted within the consolidated financial statements to allocate to the disposed operations any indirect corporate overhead or costs, such as administrative corporate functions or any other costs that were shared with the retained business of the Company. As a result, such costs are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments and are included in the retained business of the Company. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) do not include costs associated with selling Hirschmann. The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared for informational purposes and to assist in the analysis of the Company’s sale of Hirschmann to the Purchaser. This information should be read together with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended May 31, 2017 and the years ended February 28, 2017, February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, assume the sale occurred on March 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2017, assumes the sale occurred on May 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the circumstances. Hirschmann's historical operation, for current and prior periods, including the gain on sale, will be presented as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017.

1.
Description of Transaction

On August 31, 2017, VOXX International Corporation ("Voxx" or "the Company") closed the previously announced sale of Hirschmann Car Communications GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries ("Hirschmann") pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2017 (the "Sale and Purchase Agreement") with a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd. The proceeds received by the Company were approximately 149.0 million Euro, or $177.0, based on the exchange rate at August 31, 2017 before the effect of forward contracts used to hedge the transaction which are not included in the pro forma adjustments below. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based upon the final working capital.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments

a.) These adjustments reflect proceeds of 149.0 million Euro or $177.0 (in cash, based on the exchange rate at August 31, 2017) from the sale, net of preliminary working capital adjustments, derecognition of the related assets and liabilities of Hirschmann, and the related after-tax estimated gain on sale. The estimated gain on sale is taxed using a statutory tax rate of 37%, which includes federal and state income taxes. The amount of estimated taxes payable on the gain may differ from the taxes payable computed using the statutory rate of 37%, as the taxes payable may be offset by certain net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The estimated gain on sale has not been included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as it is considered to be non-recurring in nature. The actual gain may differ materially from the amount reflected in this proforma based on the carrying values of Hirschmann's net assets as of the date of closing, final working capital adjustments and other factors.
b.) This adjustment includes the expectation of non-recurring costs in connection with the sale. These amounts are for investment advisory, consulting and legal fees.
c.) These adjustments represent the estimated income tax effects of proforma adjustments, which are calculated using the jurisdictional statutory rates in effect for the periods presented based on the Company's tax position in each year.
d.) These adjustments eliminate the historical revenue and operating expenses directly attributable to the Hirschmann operation. Not included in the pro forma results are anticipated savings due to costs that may be reduced or eliminated.

For Immediate Release

VOXX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION COMPLETES ITS SALE OF HIRSCHMANN CAR COMMUNICATION TO
TE CONNECTIVITY AND RECEIVES APPROXIMATELY $170.0 MILLION

HAUPPAUGE, NY - August 31, 2017- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), today announced that it has closed on its previously announced sale of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries (collectively, “Hirschmann”) to a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL). The Company received approximately 149.0 million Euro or $170.0 million upon closing based on the terms of the sale and forward contracts at an average U.S. dollar exchange rate of approximately 1.14. There may be additional proceeds received by VOXX, which will be based upon final working capital adjustments to be calculated within 75 days.

Pat Lavelle, President and CEO of VOXX International Corporation stated, “With this transaction closed, we are now in position to pay down our debt in full, which will save us more than $6.0 million in interest payments annually, while providing us with cash on hand and full access to our banking facilities to support our business and pursue a targeted M&A strategy. We are looking to grow organically within each of our segments and inorganically, through complementary acquisitions or ventures that will strengthen our offering, customer reach and financials. Our focus will predominantly be in the domestic markets, where we can leverage our distribution into the retail and automotive sectors and we intend to stay within our current areas of expertise. Over the next year, we will look for synergies and areas to lower our fixed expenses given lower sales volumes related to the Hirschmann sale, while at the same time, ensuring we have the foundation to support accretive acquisitions. We are exploring all avenues that we believe will lead to great value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

John Shalam, Founder and Chairman of VOXX International Corporation added, “I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the team at Hirschmann, and wish them nothing but continued success in the years ahead. They have enjoyed decades of growth due to their commitment to innovation, and by partnering with their customers to continuously deliver the best antenna and tuner technologies in the industry. Their passion to be at the forefront will only be intensified with TE Connectivity by their side. For VOXX, this is a transformative event as it enables us to strengthen our balance sheet and gives us added flexibility to pursue investments in our current business, and in future technologies and companies we believe will add value. We have significant assets within our portfolio, such as EyeLock, Klipsch, Jamo, Acoustic Research, RCA, 808 Audio and more, as well as new contracts for rear-seat infotainment with some of the largest Automotive OEMs in the world, such as General Motors and Ford. While it will take us time to realign our business and drive savings, we are focused on generating consistent cash flow and profitability in the years ahead.”

As noted in the Company’s press release issued on June 26, 2017, VOXX International Corporation will continue to operate in the Automotive industry and will retain its ongoing OEM business that is not part of this transaction through VOXXHirschmann Corporation. The Company will also continue its Automotive Aftermarket business through its proprietary brands and 3rd-party distribution agreements. The continuing operations include the Company's market-leading rear-seat infotainment solutions, car security and remote start systems, remote start modules, app-based vehicle security solutions, keyless entry products and its newest innovation, the eFob, satellite radio products, and telematics, among others. Business lines that will be sold as part of this agreement include Hirschmann's antenna, smart antenna, multi-digital tuner and commercial asset tracking business, which incorporates various technologies and product lines. Under the terms of the agreement, VOXX International will phase out the VOXXHirschmann name over a period of two years.

Wells Fargo Securities is acting as exclusive financial advisor to VOXX International on the transaction.
