STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION
REPORTS FISCAL THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Milwaukee, Wisconsin – April 21, 2011 -- STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (NASDAQ:STRT) today reported operating results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 27, 2011.
Net sales for the Company’s third quarter ended March 27, 2011 were $65.7 million, compared to net sales of $52.9 million for the third quarter ended March 28, 2010. The higher net sales for the current quarter can be primarily attributed to increased customer production volumes. Higher content on certain new products also contributed to the net sales improvement.
Net income for the period was $55,000, compared to a net income of $781,000 in the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the period were $.02 compared to diluted earnings per share of $.24 in the prior year quarter. The lower net income for the current quarter was primarily due to a combination of STRATTEC’s share of the cost associated with a customer’s specific warranty claim, and an adjustment for customer price concessions. These two items resulted in a pre-tax provision of $1.8 million during the current quarter and reduced diluted earnings per share by $.33.
For the nine months ended March 27, 2011, net sales were $186.7 million compared to net sales of $146.6 million in the prior year period. Net income was $2.7 million compared to net income of $2.6 million in the prior year period and diluted earnings per share were $.82 compared to diluted earnings per share of $.78 in the prior year period.
The year-over-year net sales increase for the current quarter reflected increased sales to STRATTEC’s largest customers. Sales to Chrysler Group LLC were $21.6 million in the current quarter compared to $17.0 million in the prior year quarter. Sales to General Motors Company were $14.8 million compared to $13.5 million. Included in the prior year quarter sales to General Motors were $1.7 million of sales to Nexteer Automotive, formerly a unit of General Motors. Sales to Ford Motor Company were $7.0 million compared to $4.5 million. Sales to Hyundai/Kia were $4.0 million compared to $2.8 million.
Gross profit margins were 13.9 percent in the current quarter compared to 16.8 percent in the prior year quarter. The lower gross profit margin in the current year quarter was primarily the result of the $1.8 million pre-tax provision related to the two issues mentioned previously. Also 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. Collectively, these items reduced the current quarter gross profit margin by 4 percentage points.
Operating expenses were $8.0 million in the current quarter, compared to $7.6 million in the prior year quarter.
2
During the current quarter the Company contributed $1.5 million to its Defined Benefit Pension Trust.
