STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION

REPORTS FISCAL 2020 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR OPERATING RESULTS

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – August 6, 2020 -- STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (NASDAQ:STRT) today reported operating results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 28, 2020. The fourth quarter operating results were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 virus which is further described in this press release.

Net sales for the Company’s fourth quarter ended June 28, 2020 were $42.1 million, compared to net sales of $128.7 million for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2019.  Net loss for the current year quarterly period was $10.5 million, compared to a net loss of $62,000 in the prior year fourth quarter.  Diluted loss per share for the current year quarterly period was $2.80 compared to diluted loss per share of $0.02 in the prior year quarter.


Both the current and prior fiscal year fourth quarters had certain items that negatively impacted our operating results. The higher net loss for the current year was primarily attributed to our customers shutting down their assembly plant operations during April and May relating to the COVID-19 pandemic that reduced our net sales in the fiscal 2020 fourth quarter by approximately $72 million. In addition, during our current year fourth quarter, STRATTEC incurred an impairment charge related to its one-third ownership interest in Vehicle Access Systems Technology LLC (“VAST LLC”) related to VAST LLC’s joint venture investment in India, Minda VAST Access Systems.  STRATTEC’s one third share of the $2 million non-cash impairment charge related to this joint venture in India amounted to $667,000 on a pre-tax basis or $510,000 on an after tax basis.  STRATTEC’s share of the impairment charge reduced its diluted earnings per share in the current year fourth quarter by $0.14.

Additionally, the prior year fourth quarter was impacted by a $4,195,000 non-cash compensation charge which was partially offset by a pension settlement recovery of $556,000. The two items net of tax, decreased net income by $2,784,000 and diluted earnings per share by $0.75.

Full Year GAAP Earnings

For the year ended June 28, 2020, the Company’s net sales were $385.3 million compared to net sales of $487.0 million in the prior year period. During the current fiscal year the impact of a UAW strike at General Motors Company during the first six months of the 2020 fiscal year reduced our net sales by approximately $10.0 million and the COVID-19 pandemic also reduced our net sales by approximately $78.0 million during the last six months of fiscal year 2020.  Net loss during the current year was $7.6 million compared to a net loss of $17.0 million in the prior year period.  Diluted loss per share was $2.04 for the year ended June 28, 2020 compared to diluted loss per share of $4.63 during the prior year ended June 30, 2019.


Full Year Non-GAAP Earnings

During the fiscal year ended June 28, 2020, a pre-tax non-cash compensation expense charge of $4.8 million reduced the Company’s diluted earnings per share by $0.99 or $3.7 million, on an after tax basis.  Additionally, as noted above, STRATTEC’s share of the VAST LLC non-cash impairment charge of $667,000 ($510,000 after tax) reduced the Company’s diluted earnings per share by $0.14. Without these two non-cash charges, adjusted diluted loss per share for the current year ended June 28, 2020 would have been $0.91.$X.XX.

During the prior year ended June 30, 2019, the Company completed a substantial portion of terminating the STRATTEC Pension Plan that was previously frozen on December 31, 2009.  As a result of those actions, a non-cash pre-tax pension settlement charge of $31.9 million and a non-cash compensation charge of $4.2 million were recorded that on a combined basis reduced diluted earnings per share by $7.47 or $27.6 million, on an after tax basis. Without these pension settlement and compensation charges and a favorable tax adjustment ($0.10 per share) related to “Tax Reform 2017” , adjusted diluted earnings per share for the prior year ended June 30, 2019 would have been $2.74.

For further information on adjusted or non-GAAP numbers included in this release, see the Non-GAAP to GAAP reconciliation tables, along with the explanatory note following the table, included later on in this release.

Net sales to each of our customers or customer groups in the current year quarter and prior year quarter were as follows (in thousands):

During the latter part of March 2020 our OEM customers started reducing production schedules and then fully closed their assembly plants in April and May 2020 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  The impact of these reductions reduced our net sales in the current year quarter by approximately $72.0 million dollars.  Sales to all customer groups in the current year quarter in comparison to the prior year quarter were significantly lower due to the COVID-19 virus.

Gross profit margins were negative 18.5 percent in the current year quarter compared to 11.0 percent (or adjusted 13.0 percent) in the prior year quarter.  The decrease in gross profit margin in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily attributed to temporarily shutting down our operations both at our Milwaukee and Mexico production facilities due to the COVID-19 virus that reduced net sales by approximately $72 million in our fiscal 2020 fourth quarter in comparison to the prior year quarter.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative expenses overall were lower in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in overall operating expense spending in the current year quarter was primarily due to lower outside expenditures on new product development costs, a ten percent reduction in the salaried work force, temporary reduction in hours worked, and reductions in various other operating costs, many of which were implemented as cost saving measures to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our reduced sales levels.

The lower profitability at our VAST LLC operations during the current quarter related primarily to our one third share of the  impairment charge or $667,000 relating to our Minda VAST Access Systems joint venture previously discussed. In addition, our VAST China and Minda VAST Access Systems Operations were impacted by the COVID -19 virus with lower sales and profitability during the current quarter in comparison to the prior year quarter.


Frank Krejci, President & CEO commented: “ Despite the unusual challenges of this last quarter and entire fiscal year, I am pleased with the team efforts and improvements made in cost efficiencies both before and during the dramatic impact of  COVID shutdown.

In response to the COVID pandemic, our Mexican operations were completely shut down by the Mexican government in April and May and substantially reduced our operating capacity in June and through today.  We reacted quickly at the beginning of the current quarter by temporarily laying off our Milwaukee and Mexico plant workforce. In addition, our U.S. salaried workforce was permanently reduced by 10% and the remaining salaried workforce taking temporary wage reductions of 10% with greater reductions by the executive team. We also reduced our capital spending and temporarily suspended our quarterly cash dividend to preserve cash. While working remotely, our team was able to keep our new customer projects on track in order to meet their timing for new product launches primarily in September and later during the year.

Our new products are often used on Truck and SUV vehicle segments that are currently growing faster than the overall market.  In addition, newly launched business often reflects higher content per vehicle.  During the quarter, we intentionally built inventory when possible as we anticipated facing the welcomed challenges of meeting strong customer orders during the months of July and August 2020 resulting from product mix and customers replenishing dealer inventories.

Over the year, we have significantly reduced risk for these uncertain times by strengthening our balance sheet. Debt has been reduced to a very manageable level. We also no longer carry financial risk of the pension plan liabilities by completing the full Plan termination during fiscal year 2020”.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (referred to as Non-GAAP), specifically “adjusted net (loss) income,” “adjusted gross (loss) profit,” “adjusted engineering, selling & administrative expenses,” “adjusted operating (loss) income” and “adjusted diluted loss per share.”  “Adjusted net (loss) income” is defined as net (loss) income attributable to STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION shareholders excluding both the pension settlement charges and the compensation expense charges and the VAST, LLC impairment charge, in each case net of tax (i.e., on an after tax basis), and excluding a favorable tax adjustment relating to “Tax Reform 2017”.  “Adjusted diluted loss per share” is defined as “Adjusted net (loss) income” divided by average diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.  “Adjusted gross (loss) profit” is defined as gross (loss) profit excluding the compensation expense charges, all on a pre-tax basis. “Adjusted engineering, selling & administrative expenses” is defined as engineering, selling & administrative expenses excluding the compensation expense charges, all on a pre-tax basis.  “Adjusted operating (loss) income” is defined as operating (loss) income excluding the compensation expense charges, all on a pre-tax basis. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide additional information for evaluating STRATTEC’s performance and are important measures by which STRATTEC’s management is able to assess the profitability and liquidity of STRATTEC’s business. These Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. These Non-GAAP measures may be different than Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
