KEY TRONIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR END 2014
Continued New Customer Wins and Revenue Diversification;
Extending Capabilities and Customer Base with Acquisitions;
Return to Sequential Growth Expected in First Quarter of Fiscal 2015
Spokane Valley, WA— August 19, 2014 — Key Tronic Corporation (Nasdaq: KTCC), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its results for the three months and full year ended June 28, 2014. The results were in line with previously announced preliminary results.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $72.1 million, compared to $84.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013. For the full year of fiscal year 2014, total revenue was $305.4 million, compared to $361.0 million for fiscal year 2013.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2013. For the full year of fiscal year 2014, net income was $7.6 million or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $12.6 million or $1.12 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2013.
For the fourth 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. For the full year of fiscal year 2014, gross margin was 9% and operating margin was 3%, compared to 10% and 5%, respectively, for fiscal year 2013.
In addition, Key Tronic recently announced that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire CDR Manufacturing, Inc. (dba Ayrshire Electronics) for $46.9 million in cash. CDR has annual revenue of approximately $120 million and provides printed circuit board assembly and other EMS services to a diversified customer base, including a number of large multi-national companies. The acquisition, if consummated, is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings.
“While fiscal 2014 was a challenging year with respect to our total revenue, we continued to make significant progress in ramping up our new programs, expanding our customer base and extending our capabilities,” said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout the year, our revenue was impacted by slowdowns and delays from certain longstanding customers. At the same time, we saw the continued ramp up of our new programs, while maintaining operating efficiencies and a strong balance sheet.
“We continue to see a robust pipeline of potential new business and have further diversified our future revenue base during the fourth quarter by winning new customer programs involving healthcare, fitness, HVAC, and gaming products. At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we were generating revenue from 196 separate programs and had 59 distinct customers, up from 183 programs and 56 customers a year ago. Our recent acquisition and successful integration of Sabre Manufacturing has also generated strong interest in our expanded capabilities across our combined customer base.
“Moving into the first quarter of fiscal 2015, our new customer programs continue to steadily ramp up and we expect to see renewed sequential growth. Furthermore, our planned acquisition of CDR Manufacturing, if consummated, will represent a major step forward for Key Tronic, significantly growing our revenue and extending our capabilities and customer base worldwide.”


  




Business Outlook
Excluding the potential impact of the planned acquisition of CDR manufacturing in fiscal year 2015, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $76 million to $82 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, and earnings in the range of $0.13 to $0.20 per diluted share. The expected earnings range assumes an effective tax rate of 32%.
