Donald D. Charron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “After three consecutive quarters of double-digit growth, we experienced some softness in our fourth quarterOverall, our book of business is relatively stable and we continue to work closely with our customers to understand their expected demand going forward.  We have set a mid-range goal of achieving $1 billion in annual sales in fiscal year 2018.  Our new business opportunities pipeline remains healthy and we will continue to work diligently to achieve that goal.”

Mr. Charron continued, “We were very pleased with our fiscal year 2015 results.  We grew our sales by over 10%, setting a new annual sales record while exceeding our operating income goal of 4%.  Our functional teams substantially completed the spin-off related actions necessary to physically separate the information technology systems and office facilities from Kimball International six months ahead of the original schedule.  Our operations teams remain focused on disciplined execution and, after our first eight months as a standalone public company, we continue to have good momentum going into fiscal year 2016.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Highlights:
Net sales increased 1% from the prior year fourth quarter.
Sales related to the exit of JCI were down $16.8 million compared to the same quarter last year.
Spin-off expenses in the current year fourth quarter were insignificant. Prior year fourth quarter spin-off costs were $1.4 million.
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 were $16.8 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2015 were $65.2 million.
Days sales outstanding, calculated as the average of monthly trade accounts and notes receivable divided by one day’s average net sales, was 61.6 days for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 56.0 days for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Fiscal Year 2015 Highlights:
Net sales increased 10% from the prior fiscal year.
Sales related to the exit of JCI were down $57.6 million compared to the prior year.
Spin-off expenses totaled $2.6 million and $2.2 million in fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The prior fiscal year comparison includes $5.7 million of pre-tax income resulting from settlement proceeds related to two antitrust class action lawsuits of which the Company was a member.
Cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2015 were $28.1 million.
Capital expenditures were $36.9 million in fiscal year 2015 compared to $20.8 million in fiscal year 2014.






Kimball Electronics’ financial statements for fiscal year 2015 include an allocation of costs incurred by its former parent company through October 31, 2014, the completion date of the spin-off. As a result, the full year financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the complete future cost structure or expected future financial results of Kimball Electronics as an independent company.

Outlook
The China automotive market is expecting to slow as evidenced by the recent lowering of the forecasted growth rate for auto sales in calendar year 2015 by China's Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
Given the slowing China automotive market, incremental costs related to the Romania greenfield start-up, and the ramp up of a significant new product introduction, management is maintaining its operating income goal of 4% for fiscal year 2016.
Capital expenditures, including capital related to the Romania greenfield start-up, for fiscal year 2016 are expected to be slightly higher than fiscal year 2015.
A new mid-range goal of $1 billion in net sales by fiscal year 2018 has been set by Management.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained within this release are considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to fully realize the expected benefits of the completed spin-off, the global economic conditions, significant volume reductions from key contract customers, loss of key customers or suppliers, financial stability of key customers and suppliers, availability or cost of raw materials, and increased competitive pricing pressures reflecting excess industry capacities. Additional cautionary statements regarding other risk factors that could have an effect on the future performance of the Company are contained in the Company’s Registration Statement filed on Form 10, as amended, and declared effective on October 7, 2014 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States in the statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, or statement of equity of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein include adjustments for spin-off expenses, settlement proceeds from lawsuits, and restructuring charges. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial highlights table below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand how its core operations performed without the effects of the spin-off expenses, lawsuit income, and costs incurred in executing its restructuring plans. Excluding these amounts allows investors to meaningfully trend, analyze, and benchmark the performance of the Company’s core operations. Many of the Company’s internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these charges to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics.
