KEY TRONIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Year-to-Date Revenue Up 33% and Net Income Up 86%

Spokane Valley, WA— May 1, 2012 — Key Tronic Corporation (Nasdaq: KTCC), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $95.5 million, up 51% from $63.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012, total revenue was $249.7 million, up 33% from $187.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $3.4 million or $0.32 per diluted share, up from $0.7 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal 2011. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012, net income was $7.8 million or $0.74 per diluted share, up 86% from $4.2 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal 2011.

“We’re very pleased with our strong growth in revenue and earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, driven primarily by the rapid production ramp up for new customer programs,” said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer, “During the quarter, we achieved record quarterly revenue and continued to increase our operating efficiencies. Our gross margin and operating margin were approximately 9% and 5%, respectively. We also continued to diversify our future revenue base by winning new programs involving transportation management, medical and consumer electronic devices.

“In coming periods, we expect to continue capturing market share, driven by our unique combination of world-class engineering and global logistics, and by growing recognition of the cost and logistical advantages of our expanding production capabilities in Mexico. As we grow our business, we remain focused on maintaining outstanding customer service, carefully managing our operating expenses and maximizing our return on invested capital.”


Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $93 million to $98 million, and earnings in the range of $0.31 to $0.37 per diluted share, excluding any tax benefits that may be recognized in the period. The expected earnings range assumes an effective tax rate of 30%.
