Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ending JUNE 28, 2025 (Form 10-K)
| MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Key Tronic is a leading contract manufacturer offering value-added design and manufacturing services from its facilities in the United States, Mexico, China, and Vietnam. The Company provides its customers full engineering services, materials management, worldwide manufacturing facilities, assembly services, in-house testing, and worldwide distribution. Its customers include some of the world's leading original equipment manufacturers. Our combined capabilities and vertical integration are proving to be a desirable offering to our expanded customer base.
Our domestic and international production capability provides our customers with benefits of improved supply-chain management, reduced inventories, lower transportation costs, and reduced product fulfillment time. We continue to make investments in all of our operating facilities to give us the production capacity, capabilities and logistical advantages to continue to win new business. The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included herein and with Part II Item 1A, Risk Factors included as part of this filing.
Our mission is to provide our customers with superior manufacturing and engineering services at the lowest total cost for the highest quality products, and create long-term mutually beneficial business relationships by employing our "Trust, Commitment, Results" philosophy.
Executive Summary
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we continued to win new programs in pest control, personal protection, air purification, automotive, medical technology and utilities inspection equipment. We also announced a new manufacturing services contract with a large data processing OEM that will consign its material and components for new production in our Corinth, Mississippi manufacturing facility. We have never had a consigned program at this scale, which has the potential to ramp significantly during fiscal year 2026 and is estimated to eventually exceed $20 million in annual revenue.
We reported net sales of $467.9 million for fiscal year 2025, down 17.5 percent from $566.9 million for fiscal year 2024. The revenue in fiscal year 2025 was adversely impacted by the continued worldwide economic disruptions caused by the recent escalation and fluctuations in global tariffs, which caused business paralysis throughout much of the year and ultimately led to delays in new programs originally scheduled to ramp in the year. In addition, approximately $48 million of this decrease related to a reduction in scrap and component sales in fiscal year 2025, as certain large programs went end of life in 2024 and their final shipments of product, inventory, and any scrap were recorded at that time.
Key Tronic expects long-term growth and profitability despite revenue trends in fiscal year 2025. In order to better align costs with current customer demand and boost automation, the Company cut approximately 300 more jobs during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, for a total net headcount reduction during fiscal year 2025 of approximately 600. These measures have improved competitiveness for new program bids, which have increased recently. To support its near-shoring and tariff mitigation strategies, Key Tronic is also expanding its manufacturing footprint, with a new US facility and added capacity in Vietnam.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we believe ongoing tariff-related concerns, global logistics problems, China-US political tensions and continued supply-chain concerns will continue to drive the favorable trend of contract manufacturing returning to North America, as well as to our expanding Vietnam facilities. We continue to see improvement across the metrics associated with business development, including an increase in the number of active quotes with prospective customers.
We aim to diversify our customer base by adding additional programs and customers. Our current customer relationships involve a variety of products including sheet metal fabrication, medical devices and components, water purification products, data processing equipment, utilities inspection, consumer security products, aerospace and defense products, recreational and outdoor equipment, and plastics.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 7.8 percent in fiscal year 2025, up from 7.0 percent in 2024. During fiscal year 2025, the increase in gross margin is largely related to operational efficiencies gained from the reductions in workforce offset by the expenses incurred for the related severance. The level of gross margin is also impacted by product mix, timing of the startup of new programs, facility utilization, and pricing within the electronics industry and material costs, which can fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales for fiscal year 2025 was 0.1 percent compared to 1.2 percent for fiscal year 2024. In addition to the factors discussed above, this decrease is primarily related to approximately $1.8 million in adjustments for estimated collections from customers during 2025.
The net loss for fiscal year 2025 was $(8.3) million or $(0.77) per share, compared to a net loss of $(2.8) million or $(0.26) per share for fiscal year 2024. The net loss in 2025 is primarily related to reductions in demand, severance expenses incurred, and adjustments for estimated collections from customers.
We maintained a strong balance sheet with a current ratio of 2.5 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.90. Total cash provided by operating activities as defined on our cash flow statement was $18.9 million during fiscal year 2025, as we have continued to focus on optimizing inventory balances and reducing the days to collect accounts receivable. We believe we maintain sufficient liquidity for our expected future operations, dependent upon executing projected cash flows from operations and potentially adding additional credit capacities through refinancing current credit agreements or pursuing additional debt structures.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased $99.1 million from the prior fiscal year. Approximately $48 million of this decrease related to a reduction in scrap and component sales in fiscal year 2025, as certain large programs went end of life in 2024 and their final shipments of product, inventory, and any scrap were recorded at that time. Additionally, worldwide economic disruptions caused by the recent escalation and fluctuations in global tariffs led to disruptions throughout the year and ultimately led to delays in new programs originally scheduled to ramp in the year.
The following table shows the revenue by industry sectors as a percentage of revenue for fiscal years 2025 and 2024:

We provide services to customers in a number of industries and produce a variety of products for our customers in each industry. Key Tronic does not target any particular industry, but rather seeks to find programs that strategically fit our vertical manufacturing capabilities. As a result, we expect to continue to see a change in the industry concentrations of our revenue over time.
Sales to foreign locations represented 21.2 percent and 22.5 percent of our total net sales in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cost of Sales
Total cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 92.2 percent in fiscal year 2025 and 93.0 percent in fiscal year 2024.
We record our inventories at net realizable value based on specific identification of inventory against current demand and recent usage. We also consider our customers' ability to pay for inventory and whether or not there is a lead-time assurance agreement for a specific program. The amounts charged to expense for these inventories were approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We provide warranties on certain products we sell and estimate warranty costs based on historical experience and anticipated product returns. Warranty expense is related to workmanship claims. The amounts charged to expense are determined based on an estimate of warranty exposure. The net warranty expense was approximately $0.0 million and $0.3 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 7.8 percent in fiscal year 2025 and 7.0 percent in fiscal year 2024. During fiscal year 2025, the increase in gross margin was primarily driven by cost reductions and strategic headcount reductions implemented in prior quarters, partially offset by the related severance expenses.
Changes in gross profit margins reflect the impact of a number of factors that can vary from period to period, including product mix, start-up costs and efficiencies associated with new programs, product life cycles, sales volumes, capacity utilization of our resources, management of inventories, component pricing and shortages, end market demand for customers' products, fluctuations in and timing of customer orders, and competition within the contract manufacturing industry. These and other factors can cause variations in operating results. There can be no assurance that gross margins will not decrease in future periods.
Research, Development and Engineering
Research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E) consist principally of employee related costs, third-party development costs, program materials, depreciation, and allocated information technology and facilities costs. Total RD&E expenses were $9.2 million and $8.3 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total RD&E expenses as a percent of net sales was 2.0 percent in fiscal year 2025 and 1.5 percent in fiscal year 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) consist principally of salaries and benefits, advertising and marketing programs, sales commissions, travel expenses, provision for credit losses, facilities costs, and professional services. Total SG&A expenses were $26.7 million and $25.2 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales were 5.7 percent and 4.4 percent in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase is largely attributable to approximately $1.8 million in adjustments for estimated collections from customers.
Interest Expense
We had net interest expense of $12.5 million and $11.9 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase is largely attributable to the write-off in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 of approximately $1.0 million of unamortized loan fees related to refinancing our debt, partially offset by a reduction in maturing equipment leases and a lower average revolving credit loan balance.
Income Tax Provision
We had income tax benefits of approximately $3.6 million during fiscal year 2025 and $2.4 million during fiscal year 2024. The income tax benefit recognized during both fiscal years 2025 and 2024 was primarily a function of U.S. and foreign taxes recognized at statutory rates, the net benefit associated with federal research and development tax credits, and the change in deferred tax liability related to future distributions from China in fiscal year 2025.
We continually review our requirements for liquidity domestically to fund current operations, revenue growth, and potential future acquisitions. We anticipate repatriating a portion of our unremitted foreign earnings. The estimated taxes associated with these expected repatriations are included in the income tax calculation. For further information on taxes, please review Footnote "Income Taxes" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, diluted. Beginning with the full year of fiscal year 2024, we provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide greater transparency related to our core operations and represent supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. We exclude (or include) certain items in our non-GAAP financial measures as we believe the net result is a measure of our core business. We believe this facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain income and expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP performance measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed below should be read in conjunction with the remainder of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from those reported by other companies. See the table below for reconciliations of adjusted net loss to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which are GAAP net loss and the computation of adjusted net loss per share, diluted.

International Subsidiaries
We offer customers a complete global manufacturing solution. Our facilities provide our customers the opportunity to have their products manufactured in the facility that best serves specific cost, product manufacturing, and distribution needs. The locations of our active foreign subsidiaries are as follows:
•Key Tronic Juarez, SA de CV owns five facilities and leases three facilities in Juarez, Mexico. These facilities include an SMT facility, an assembly and molding facility, a sheet metal fabrication facility, and assembly and warehouse facilities. This subsidiary primarily supports our U.S. operations.
•Key Tronic Computer Peripherals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. leases one facility with SMT, assembly, global purchasing, and warehouse capabilities in Shanghai, China, which began operations in 1999. Its primary function is to provide contract manufacturing services.
•Key Tronic Vietnam leases one facility in Da Nang, Vietnam. This facility includes SMT, assembly, and warehouse capabilities. Its primary function is to provide contract manufacturing services for export.
Foreign sales (based on shipping instructions) from our worldwide operations, including domestic exports, were $99.3 million and $127.6 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Products and manufacturing services provided by our subsidiary operations are often shipped to customers directly by the parent company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended June 29, 2024 with the Fiscal Year Ended July 1, 2023
To review the results of operations comparison of the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024 with the fiscal year ended July 1, 2023 please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed October 15, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission or follow the link below.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2025 was $18.9 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13.8 million in fiscal year 2024. The additional cash provided in fiscal year 2025 was due to a focus on collecting accounts receivable faster and working down inventory balances to be in line with current revenue levels.
The $18.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal year 2025 is primarily related to $8.3 million of net loss adjusted for $9.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $32.4 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $7.7 million decrease in inventory, a $3.8 million decrease in contract assets, and a $1.6 million increase in accrued compensation and vacation partially offset by a $15.7 million decrease in accounts payable, a $10.5 million increase in other assets and a $3.6 million decrease in other liabilities.
The $13.8 million of net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal year 2024 was primarily related to $2.8 million of net loss adjusted for $11.0 million of depreciation and amortization, an $15.8 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $32.5 million decrease in inventory, an $8.7 million decrease in contract assets partially offset by a $36.5 million decrease in accounts payable, a $2.9 million decrease in accrued compensation and vacation, and an $8.1 million decrease in other liabilities.
Accounts receivable fluctuates based on the timing of shipments, terms offered, and collections. We purchase inventory based on customer forecasts and orders. When those forecasts and orders change, the amount of inventory may also fluctuate. Accounts payable fluctuates with changes in inventory levels, volume of inventory purchases, negotiated supplier terms, and taking advantage of early pay discounts.
Investing Cash Flow
Cash flows used in investing activities were $4.2 million for fiscal year 2025 and $2.1 million in fiscal year 2024. Our primary use of cash in investing activities during fiscal years 2025 and 2024 was purchasing equipment to support production for new programs. During fiscal year 2024, there was a source of cash provided by investing activities from insurance claims paid for replacing equipment and facility repairs in our Arkansas facility related to a lightning strike and water damage.
Leases are often utilized when potential technical obsolescence and funding requirement advantages outweigh the benefits of equipment ownership. Capital expenditures and periodic lease payments are expected to be financed with internally generated funds as well as our revolving line of credit facility and equipment term loan.
Financing Cash Flow
Cash flows used in financing activities were $18.1 million in fiscal year 2025 and $10.5 million in fiscal year 2024. Our primary financing activities during both fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024 were borrowings and repayments under our asset-based revolving line of credit facility with Bank of Montreal, our Prior Credit Facility with Bank of America, and term loans. In fiscal year 2025, there was a significantly higher percentage of repayments against the borrowings on the revolving line of credit.
Our cash requirements are affected by the level of current operations and new programs. We believe that projected cash from operations, funds available under the revolving credit facility and potential additional debt capacity will be sufficient to meet our working and fixed capital requirements for at least twelve months beyond issuance of our financial statements, and our current asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility does not mature until December 3, 2025. The Company further notes projected cash from operations is projected to improve in the coming quarters as supply chain availability will boost additional inventory turns and existing inventory is consumed by fulfilling customer backlog. As of June 28, 2025, we had approximately $1.4 million of cash held by foreign subsidiaries. If cash is to be repatriated in the future from these foreign subsidiaries, the Company would be subject to certain withholding taxes in the foreign jurisdictions. The total amount of tax payments required for the amount of foreign subsidiary cash on hand as of June 28, 2025 would approximate $14,000.
The Company also has approximately $26.4 million of foreign earnings that have not been repatriated to the U.S. of that amount, the Company estimates that $2.9 million is to be repatriated in the future, requiring foreign withholding taxes of $0.3 million that is currently accrued in our deferred tax liabilities. The remaining $23.5 million is considered to be permanently reinvested in Mexico and Vietnam. If these amounts were required to be repatriated, it would result in no foreign withholding taxes payable.
We have accrued withholding taxes for expected future repatriation of foreign earnings as discussed in Note 5 "Income Taxes" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts which obligate us to make payments in the future. We have certain contractual obligations that extend beyond fiscal year 2025 under lease obligations and debt arrangements.
As of June 28, 2025, we had open purchase order commitments for materials and other supplies. Actual needs under these blanket purchase orders fluctuate with our manufacturing levels and as such cannot be broken out between fiscal years. In addition, we have contracts with many of our customers that minimize our exposure to losses for material purchased within lead-times necessary to meet customer forecasts. Purchase orders generally can be cancelled without penalty within specified ranges that are determined in negotiations with our suppliers. These agreements depend in part on the type of materials purchased as well as the circumstances surrounding any requested cancellations. We do not use off-balance sheet financing techniques other than traditional operating leases, and we have not guaranteed the obligations of any entity that is not one of our wholly owned subsidiaries.
For a summary of our lease obligations as of June 28, 2025, please refer to Note 13 "Leases" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
For a summary of our long-term debt obligations as of June 28, 2025, please refer to Note 4 "Long-Term Debt" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 "Significant Accounting Policies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to our consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The most significant areas involving management judgments are described below. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates.
Revenue
The Company specializes in services ranging from product manufacturing to engineering and tooling services. The first step in its process for revenue recognition is to identify the contract with a customer. A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. A contract can be written, oral, or implied. The Company generally enters into manufacturing service agreements ("MSA") with its customers that outlines the terms of the business relationship between the customer and the Company. This includes matters such as warranty, indemnification, transfer of title and risk of loss, liability for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing, payment terms, etc. The Company will also bid on a program-by-program basis for customers in which an executed MSA may not be in place. In these instances, as well as when we have an MSA in place, we receive customer purchase orders for specific quantities and timing of products. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the MSA and the purchase order. The transaction price is fixed and set forth in each purchase order. In the Company's normal course of business, there are no variable pricing components, or material amounts refunded to customers in the form of refunds or rebates.
The Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time (shipment) or over time (as we manufacture the product). The Company is first required to evaluate whether its contracts meet the criteria for 'over-time' or 'point-in-time' recognition. The Company has determined that for the majority of its contracts the Company is manufacturing products for which there is no alternative use due to the unique nature of the customer-specific product, IP and other contract restrictions. Further, the Company has an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit for performance completed to date with respect to these contracts. As a result, revenue is recognized under these contracts 'over-time' based on the input cost-to-cost method as it better depicts the transfer of control. This input method is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For all other contracts that do not meet these criteria, such as manufacturing contracts for which the terms do not provide an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred control of the related manufactured products which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from engineering services is recognized over time as costs related to the services are incurred, which approximates proportional performance of the service. This method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Revenue from scrap and excess inventory sales is recognized at the point-in-time of scrap at the customers direction, or, if applicable, shipment of the material to the customer.
Inactive, Obsolete, and Surplus Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory valuation is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. We write down inventories that we deem inactive, obsolete, or surplus to net realizable value. The write down is calculated based upon the demand for the products that we produce to value this related inventory at net realizable value. Demand is determined by expected sales, customer purchase orders, or customer forecasts. If expected sales do not materialize, excess inventory would be the result and a write down of that inventory against earnings would occur. In the case where we have purchased material based upon a customer's forecast or purchase orders, we are usually covered by lead-time assurance agreements or purchase orders with each customer. These contracts state that the financial liability for material purchased within agreed upon lead-time and based upon the customer's forecasts, lies with the customer. If we purchase material outside the lead-time assurance agreement and the customer's forecasts do not materialize or if we have no lead-time assurance agreement for a specific program, we would have the financial liability and may have to charge inactive, obsolete or surplus inventory against earnings. We also write down inventory values related to specific customers covered by lead-time assurance agreements when those customers are experiencing financial difficulties or reimbursement is not reasonably assured.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We value our accounts receivable net of an allowance for credit losses. As of June 28, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was approximately $3.5 million. As of June 29, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was approximately $2.9 million. This allowance is based on estimates of the portion of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future, and the increase during fiscal year 2025 relates to ongoing revisions to this estimated amount. The estimates used are based on specific identification of potentially uncollectible accounts as well as a general calculation based on the company's collection history. Such accounts are identified using publicly available information in conjunction with evaluations of current payment activity. However, if any of our customers were to develop unexpected and immediate financial problems that would prevent payment of open invoices, we could incur additional and possibly material expenses that would negatively impact earnings.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes and a provisional estimate for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We do not record foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that are deemed to be permanently reinvested. Certain income and expenses are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. The deferred income taxes are classified as long-term assets or liabilities. The most significant areas involving management judgments include deferred income tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and research and development tax credits. Our estimates of the realization of the deferred tax assets related to our tax credits are based upon our estimates of future taxable income which may change.
