SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Key Tronic Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) is engaged in contract manufacturing for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Company’s headquarters are located in Spokane Valley, Washington with manufacturing operations in Oakdale, Minnesota; Fayetteville, Arkansas; Corinth, Mississippi; and foreign manufacturing operations in Juarez, Mexico; Shanghai, China; and Da Nang, Vietnam.
Liquidity
Historically, due to the timing between the procurement of raw materials, production cycle and payment from our customers, we have financed operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. We generated operating income and net loss of $0.6 million and $(8.3) million respectively, during the 12-month period ended June 28, 2025 and have positive working capital of $142.2 million as of June 28, 2025. Due to the timing between the procurement of raw materials, production cycle and payment from our customers, we have relied on borrowings on our credit facilities to fund operations during fiscal year 2025. Based on current projections, we anticipate generating cash from operations as revenue increases in the first half of fiscal year 2026.
As of June 28, 2025, we have $25.0 million of additional borrowing capacity on our credit facility, which matures on December 3, 2029. If we are unable to meet projected operating results or extend our borrowing capacity, we may need to delay the purchase of raw materials or require our customers to fund inventory raw material costs ahead of production. Other options to increase our liquidity include factoring receivables or leveraging foreign owned assets for additional borrowing capacity. We believe that projected cash from operations, funds available under our asset-based revolving credit facility and additional financing options will be sufficient to meet our working and fixed capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period reclassifications were made to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income, comprehensive loss, cash flows, total assets, or shareholders' equity as previously reported.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States, Mexico, China and Vietnam. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates include the allowance for credit losses, calculating inventory impairments related to obsolete and non-saleable inventories to value at net realizable value, deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, impairment of long-lived assets, medical self-funded insurance liability, long-term incentive compensation accrual, the provision for warranty costs, and the fair value of stock appreciation rights granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plan. Due to uncertainties with respect to the assumptions and estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company may have cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits from time to time.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable, contract assets, and other recoverable costs and records an allowance for credit losses, which reduces these assets to an amount that management reasonably estimates will be collected. A specific allowance is recorded against receivables considered to be impaired based on the Company’s knowledge of the financial condition of the customer, and a general allowance is calculated and applied to remaining assets based on the Company's historical collection experience. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company considers several factors including the aging of the receivables, the current business environment and historical experience. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory valuation is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Customer orders are based upon forecasted quantities of product manufactured for shipment over defined periods. Raw material inventories are purchased to fulfill these customer requirements. Within these arrangements, customer demands for products frequently change, sometimes creating excess and obsolete inventories. The Company regularly reviews raw material inventories by customer for both excess and obsolete quantities. Wherever possible, the Company attempts to recover its full cost of excess and obsolete inventories from customers or, in some cases, through other markets. When it is determined that the Company’s carrying cost of such excess and obsolete inventories cannot be recovered in full, a charge is taken against income for the difference between the carrying cost and the estimated realizable amount. We also reserve for inventory related to specific customers covered by lead-time assurance agreements when those customers are experiencing financial difficulties or reimbursement is not reasonably assured.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using straight-line methods over the expected useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Leases
Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease assets also include any lease prepayments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of income. For further information, please refer to Footnote “Leases” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company, using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, reviews assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of its assets might not be recoverable. Impaired assets are reported at the lower of cost or fair value.
Accrued Warranty
An accrual is made for expected warranty costs, with the related expense recognized in cost of goods sold. Management reviews the adequacy of this accrual quarterly based on historical analyses and anticipated product returns.
Self-funded Insurance
The Company self-funds its domestic employee health plans. The Company contracts with a separate administrative service company to supervise and administer the programs and act as its representative. The Company reduces its risk under this self-funded platform by purchasing stop-loss insurance coverage for high dollar individual claims. In addition, if the aggregate annual claims amount to more than 125 percent of expected claims for the plan year this insurance will also pay those claims amounts exceeding that level.
The Company estimates its exposure for claims incurred but not paid at the end of each reporting period and uses historical claims data supplied by the Company’s broker to estimate its self-funded insurance liability. This liability is subject to a total limitation that varies based on employee enrollment and factors that are established at each annual contract renewal. Actual claims experience may differ from the Company’s estimates. Costs related to the administration of the plan and related claims are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The first step in its process for revenue recognition is to identify the contract with a customer. A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. A contract can be written, oral, or implied. The Company generally enters into manufacturing service agreements (“MSA”) with its customers that outlines the terms of the business relationship between the customer and the Company. This includes matters such as warranty, indemnification, transfer of title and risk of loss, liability for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing, payment terms, etc. The Company will also bid on a program-by-program basis for customers in which an executed MSA may not be in place. In these instances, as well as when we have an MSA in place, we receive customer purchase orders for specific quantities and timing of products. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the MSA and the purchase order. The transaction price is fixed and set forth in each purchase order. In the Company's normal course of business, there are no variable pricing components, or material amounts refunded to customers in the form of refunds or rebates.
The Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time (shipment) or over time (as we manufacture the product). The Company is first required to evaluate whether its contracts meet the criteria for 'over-time' or 'point-in-time' recognition. The Company has determined that for the majority of its contracts the Company is manufacturing products for which there is no alternative use due to the unique nature of the customer-specific product, IP and other contract restrictions. The Company has an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit for performance completed to date with respect to these contracts. As a result, revenue is recognized under these contracts 'over-time' based on the input cost-to-cost method as it better depicts the transfer of control. This input method is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For all other contracts that do not meet these criteria, such as manufacturing contracts for which the terms do not provide an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred control of the related manufactured products which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from engineering services is recognized over time as costs related to the services are incurred, which approximates proportional performance of the service. This method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Revenue from scrap and excess inventory sales is recognized at the point-in-time of scrap at the customers direction, or, if applicable, shipment of the material to the customer.
Shipping and Handling Fees
The Company classifies costs associated with shipping and handling fees as a component of cost of goods sold. Customer billings related to shipping and handling fees are reported as revenue.
Research, Development and Engineering
Research, development and engineering expenses include unreimbursed contract manufacturing costs as well as design and engineering costs associated with the production of contract manufacturing programs. Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences and benefits attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

We utilize a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments based on new assessments and changes in estimates and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax provision. The tax years 2005 through the present remain open to examination by the major U.S. taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. For further discussions, please refer to Footnote “Income Taxes” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company has previously entered into foreign currency forward contracts and an interest rate swap which are accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The derivative’s effectiveness represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount of $12.9 million.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the combination of other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The computation assumes the proceeds from the exercise of stock options were used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per
common share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of common stock equivalent shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in Mexico, China and Vietnam is the U.S. dollar. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses for local currency denominated assets and liabilities are included in cost of goods sold.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, current liabilities, and non-current operating lease liability are reflected on the balance sheets at June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, reasonably approximate their fair value. The Company had an outstanding balance on its lines of credit of $71.2 million as of June 28, 2025, and $112.6 million as of June 29, 2024, with a carrying value that reasonably approximates the fair value. The Company had an outstanding balance on its foreign term loan of MXN18.9 million ($1.0 million USD) as of June 28, 2025, and MXN40.5 million ($2.2 million USD) as of June 29, 2024, with a carrying value that reasonably approximates the fair value. The domestic equipment term loans were $9.0 million as of June 28, 2025, and $5.8 million as of June 29, 2024, with a carrying value that reasonably approximates the fair value.
Share-based Compensation
The Company’s incentive plan may provide for equity awards to employees in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite employee service period, which is generally the vesting period, and is included in cost of goods sold, research, development and engineering, and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations.
