KEY TRONIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2014

Continued New Customer Wins and Revenue Diversification
Spokane Valley, WA— January 28, 2014 — Key Tronic Corporation (Nasdaq: KTCC), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its results for the three months ended December 28, 2013.The Company's actual results were in line with its previous guidance.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $78.3 million, compared to $94.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013. For the first six months of fiscal year 2014, total revenue was $156.2 million, compared to $192.1 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $3.1 million or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $3.6 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2013. Results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 include a one-time tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million or $0.13 per diluted share due to changes in Mexico’s tax laws enacted in December of 2013. For the first six months of fiscal year 2014, net income was $4.8 million or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $7.3 million or $0.67 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2013.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, gross margin was 9% and operating margin was 3%, compared to 10% and 6%, respectively, in the same period of fiscal year 2013.
“During the second quarter and moving into the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, many new programs continue to ramp up, despite greater than anticipated reductions in orders from some of our large, longstanding customers,” said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We currently expect to see sequential growth either during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 or the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, as growing revenue from several new customers should offset and then exceed the revenue reductions in recent periods by certain large customers.”
“At the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we were generating revenue from 190 separate programs and had 57 distinct customers, up from 169 programs and 52 customers a year ago. Furthermore, we continued to diversify our future revenue base during the second quarter by winning two new programs from new customers involving consumer dental hygiene products and consumer home products. The pipeline of potential new business remains very robust and we’re investing in the expansion of our new sheet metal fabrication business to capitalize on a growing number of opportunities related to this capability.”




Business Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $73 million to $78 million, and earnings in the range of $0.13 to $0.18 per diluted share. The expected earnings range assumes an effective tax rate of 32%.
