KEY TRONIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2014

Continued New Customer Wins and Revenue Diversification;
Expecting Sequential Growth in Fourth Quarter
Spokane Valley, WA— April 29, 2014 — Key Tronic Corporation (Nasdaq: KTCC), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its results for the three months ended March 29, 2014. The Company's actual results were in line with its previous guidance.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $77.0 million, compared to $84.3 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2014, total revenue was $233.3 million, compared to $276.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1.4 million or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million or $0.26 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2013. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2014, net income was $6.2 million or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $10.2 million or $0.94 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2013.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, gross margin was 9% and operating margin was 3%, compared to 9% and 4%, respectively, in the same period of fiscal year 2013.
“During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, many of our new programs continued to ramp up,” said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect to see sequential growth during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, as growing revenue from new customers and new programs should offset and then exceed the demand reductions in recent periods by our two largest customers.”
“Overall, we continue to enjoy strong customer loyalty, with many of our customers rewarding us with nearly a decade or more of uninterrupted business. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we were generating revenue from 192 separate programs compared to 177 programs at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. At the same time, we continued to diversify our future revenue base during the third quarter by winning two new programs from new customers involving consumer products and fitness equipment.”
“Our pipeline of potential new business is also increasingly robust, involving programs with greater long-term revenue potential and higher quality requirements. Our increased competitiveness in the EMS marketplace is being driven by the growing recognition of the advantages of Mexico-based production for North America consumption over China-based production, as well as by the growing number of opportunities where we can capitalize on the continued expansion of our new sheet metal fabrications capabilities in concert with our plastic molding, printed circuit, and product assembly capabilities.”




Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $78 million to $85 million, and earnings in the range of $0.17 to $0.23 per diluted share. The expected earnings range assumes an effective tax rate of 32%.
