REPORTS FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Milwaukee, Wisconsin – August 9, 2011 -- STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (NASDAQ:STRT) today reported operating results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended July 3, 2011.
Fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and full year net sales and income significantly improved over fiscal 2010, continuing the positive trend which began early in the Company’s prior fiscal year. The Company’s fiscal 2011 net sales reached a record high, exceeding the previous record by approximately 16%.
Net sales for the fourth quarter ended July 3, 2011 were $74.2 million, compared to net sales of $61.4 million for the fourth quarter ended June 27, 2010. The 2011 fiscal fourth quarter was 14 weeks while 2010’s fourth quarter was the typical 13 weeks. The impact of the additional week of customer shipments during the current year quarter increased sales by approximately $4.5 million. Net income was $2.7 million during the current quarter, compared to $853,000 in the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter were $.81 compared to $.26 in the prior year quarter.
Sales to STRATTEC’s largest customers overall increased in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter levels. Sales to Chrysler Group LLC were $22.1 million in the current quarter compared to $21.9 million in the prior year quarter. Sales to General Motors Company were $17.6 million in the current quarter compared to $16.0 million in the prior year quarter. Included in the prior quarter sales to General Motors were $1.9 million of sales to Nexteer Automotive, formerly a unit of General Motors. Sales to Ford Motor Company were $8.3 million in the current quarter compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter. Sales to Hyundai/Kia were $4.0 million in the current quarter compared to $3.1 million in the prior year quarter.
Gross profit margins were 17.4 percent in the current quarter compared to 15.9 percent in the prior year quarter. The higher gross profit margin in the current year quarter was primarily the result of a combination of higher content on certain new products we supply and higher customer vehicle production volumes which increased overhead absorption of STRATTEC’s manufacturing costs. Also favorably impacting the current quarter were lower expense provisions for the Company’s incentive bonus plans as compared to the prior year quarter. Items negatively impacting the current quarter were higher purchased raw material costs for zinc and brass along with an unfavorable Mexico Peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate affecting the Company’s operations in Mexico, which items collectively reduced the current quarter gross profit margin by 1.7 percentage points.
2
Operating expenses were $9.0 million in the current quarter, compared to $8.7 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to the extra week of expense offset by lower expense provisions under the Company's incentive bonus plans incurred in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010.
The provision for income taxes in both the current and previous year quarters included a favorable adjustment primarily relating to foreign taxes.
For the fiscal year ended July 3, 2011, net sales were $260.9 million compared to net sales of $208.0 million in the prior year period. Net income was $5.4 million compared to net income of $3.4 million in the prior year period and diluted earnings per share for the current year were $1.63 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.04 in the prior year.
