KEY TRONIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2016

Continued New Customer Wins and Revenue Diversification;
Expecting Sequential Increase in Earnings in Second Quarter

Spokane Valley, WA— October 27, 2015 — Key Tronic Corporation (Nasdaq: KTCC), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its results for the three months ended September 26, 2015.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $126.2 million, up 46% from $86.3 million in the same period of fiscal year 2015. Results for the first quarters of fiscal years 2016 and 2015 included approximately $35 million and $11 million, respectively, in revenue from the acquisition of Ayrshire.
As previously announced, the Company had approximately $2.0 million of unanticipated expenses and erosion of gross margin related to a single longstanding customer that requested a significant and immediate increase in production volumes for a new program at the start of the quarter and then later abruptly cancelled those orders.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, gross margin was 7.1% and operating margin was 1.4%, compared to 4.9% and (2.0)%, respectively, in the same period of fiscal year 2015. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $0.8 million or $0.07 per share, up from $(1.5) million or $(0.14) per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.
“While the sudden and unanticipated impact from the unusual volatility in demand of a certain customer in the first quarter was disappointing, our new programs continue to ramp and we continue to diversify our customer base,” said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, our top five customers represented 47% of our total revenue compared to 50% a year ago and 64% two years ago. We also continued to see a healthy pipeline of potential new business, winning new programs involving telecommunications and security equipment.”
“In the second and third quarters, we expect the decline from the same longstanding customer to continue to impact our growth. By the fourth quarter, we expect the lost revenue from this program to be more than offset by new revenue from the continued ramp of new programs. At the same time, we anticipate increased operating efficiencies and profitability in coming periods.”







Business Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $115 million to $120 million, and earnings in the range of $0.08 to $0.13 per diluted share. These expected results assume an effective tax rate of 35%.
