SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Strattec Security Corporation ("Strattec," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our"), statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, income, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations. The use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "should," "project" or "plan" or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The Company’s operations and financial performance are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including:

an uncertain economic environment and inflationary conditions coupled with the cyclical nature of the automotive industry may adversely affect global vehicle production and demand for our products;
we operate in a highly competitive market and technological developments within our sphere of offerings are rapidly evolving;
changes in customer purchasing actions, warranty provisions and product recall policies could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;
work stoppages within our operations or at the location of our key customers as a result of labor disputes could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition;
labor cost inflation or unionization efforts in Mexico, coupled with a shortage of skilled laborers in the United States, could increase our manufacturing expenses and impact production efficiency;
changes in tariffs or international trade policies could adversely affect our results, particularly with respect to goods imported into the United States or produced under U.S. trade agreements such as the USMCA;
delays and restrictions impacting the import of goods and components stemming from heightened security procedures or changes in policies implemented by the U.S. or Mexican governments related to U.S.-Mexico border crossings could have a negative effect on our business;
an increase in the volume and scope of product returns or customer cost reimbursement actions could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition;
our ability to manage changes in the costs of operations, warranty claims, adverse business and operational issues could be affected by a material global supply chain and logistics disruption;
future shortages in the supply of semiconductor chips and other matters adversely impacting the timing, availability and costs of material component parts and raw materials for the production of our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;
macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including regional conflicts, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;
interruptions to our information security management systems and cybersecurity incidents could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition; and
other matters including, but not limited to, the factors listed in the “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 25, 2025 (the "Annual Report").

 

Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made herein are only made as of the date of this Form 10-Q and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of June 29, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 28, 2026. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of all wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as the results of a majority owned joint venture.

NOTE 2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For the Company, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (fiscal 2026). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 will not affect the Company’s financial position or its results of operations but will result in additional disclosures for the fiscal 2026 annual period and for interim periods thereafter.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (fiscal 2028) and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (fiscal 2029). The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will not affect the Company’s financial position or its results of operations but will result in additional disclosures for the fiscal 2028 annual period and for interim periods thereafter.

 

NOTE 3. WARRANTY

The Company generally offers its customers an assurance warranty on products sold, although warranty periods may vary by product type and application. The Company has a warranty reserve related to known and potential exposure to warranty claims in the event products fail to perform as expected and in the event the Company may be required to participate in the repair costs incurred by customers for such products. The estimation of the warranty reserve involves judgment and assumptions and is based on an analysis of historical warranty data as well as current trends and information. Changes in the warranty reserve were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4. CREDIT FACILITIES

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with BMO Harris N.A. ("Amended & Restated Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $40 million revolving line of credit maturing October 2028. The facility bears interest at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate or SOFR plus 1.50%. There were no outstanding borrowings on the facility during the nine months ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025. The credit facility is secured by U.S. cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets located in the U.S. and contains a restrictive financial covenant that requires a minimum net worth level.

The Company's joint venture, ADAC-Strattec LLC, previously had an $18 million secured revolving credit facility (the “ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., under which the Company was a guarantor. Interest on borrowings under the ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility were at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate plus 2% or SOFR plus 3.10%. On April 30, 2026, the joint venture entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement with BMO Harris N.A. (the "Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility"), which provides for a $10 million asset-based revolving line of credit, subject to a borrowing base, maturing October 2028. The Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility bears interest at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate plus 1.00% or SOFR plus 1.75%. The Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility replaces the previous joint venture facility, which was terminated upon the closing of the agreement. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the joint venture's assets and contains restrictive financial covenants that require a minimum net worth level and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

As of March 29, 2026, the Company and the joint venture were in compliance with all financial covenants.

NOTE 5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

A portion of the Company's manufacturing costs are incurred in Mexican pesos, which causes earnings and cash flows to fluctuate with changes in the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate. During the three and nine month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, the Company entered into contracts with a creditworthy counterparty that provide for monthly Mexican peso currency forward contracts for a portion of peso denominated operating costs. The following table quantifies the outstanding forward contracts as of March 29, 2026 (in thousands, except with respect to the average forward exchange rate):

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions, primarily Mexico. The Company's income tax positions are based on interpretations of income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Interim income tax expense is determined based on an estimate of the overall annual effective income tax rate which can vary due to the relationship of foreign and domestic earnings, state taxes and available deductions, credits and discrete items. The effective tax rate for each period presented differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by the recognition of U.S. research and development tax credits and discrete income tax benefits associated with share-based payments.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted. There are multiple business tax provisions for which further guidance from the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service is needed. The Company is currently reviewing and evaluating the impact of the guidance provided to date that could affect our income tax payable and deferred tax liability, including changes related to bonus depreciation and the expensing of research and development expenditures, among other topics.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal actions, administrative proceedings, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters related to alleged product defects and warranties, contract disputes, intellectual property, and employment issues. The Company recognizes accruals for such matters in accordance with U.S. GAAP when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

Business Overview

Strattec is a global automotive access company that designs and delivers safe, secure, and highly engineered access solutions for the automotive and mobility industries. Built on generations of access and security engineering expertise, Strattec partners closely with OEMs to create differentiated, system‑level access experiences for end consumers. Strattec’s portfolio spans the access journey from Permission, enabling secure vehicle entry through advanced mechanical and electronic systems; to Motion, delivering effortless, reliable powered access that enhances everyday usability; and through to Hold, providing precision‑engineered latching solutions that give drivers confidence through proven strength, safety, and durability trusted by OEMs worldwide. As access becomes increasingly intelligent, connected, and central to vehicle experience, Strattec’s strategy is to expand its market share, further diversify its customers and geographic reach while becoming the most trusted access partner to drive long‑term growth across global automotive and mobility markets.

Our strategic priority is to execute a business transformation to strengthen the Company’s profitability and deliver sustainable sales growth. We expect to improve our business with upgraded systems and processes, modernization of our support functions and a focus on productivity and efficiencies in our manufacturing operations. We believe this will result in an optimized cost structure and consistent cash generation through improved working capital velocity and efficient asset utilization. In the short term, cash generated from our operations will be reinvested in our business to fund our transformational efforts and growth initiatives. To drive organic growth, we will leverage our technical engineering expertise, market-leading positions and strong customer relationships to generate innovative solutions and capture more content on current platforms, win new platforms with current customers, gain new customers both domestically and abroad and build opportunities in the broader transportation industry.

Volatility in the North American automotive industry is driven by supply chain disruptions, global inflation, thinning labor availability, rising global commodity costs and a changing global trade and geopolitical climate. These macro conditions, coupled with changes in production volumes by OEMs in response to new vehicle consumer demand, impact our sales and profitability levels. An evolving tariff landscape, combined with heightened geopolitical instability in certain global regions has further disrupted supply chains and has added complexity to production and cost planning across the industry. Lower near term North American light vehicle production estimates, which are subject to change, reflect these dynamics in addition to continued industry-wide supply chain disruptions and availability of raw materials including rare earth minerals. As we look forward and navigate these macroeconomic challenges and fluctuating OEM production volumes, we are focused on executing new initiatives to improve our cost structure, continuing to mitigate the impact of incremental tariff costs, driving cash flow through improved working capital utilization and securing new platforms to solidify future sales growth.

Third quarter fiscal 2026 sales were $137.6 million, representing a decrease of $6.5 million or 4.5%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower OEM production volumes and the cancellation of certain customer programs. Third quarter North American automotive industry production declined 2.7% as OEMs managed supply chain challenges and dealer inventory levels. In addition, certain customer programs were cancelled or significantly reduced as OEMs adjusted electric vehicle (“EV”) production plans and product portfolios, which resulted in a $3.5 million reduction in year-over-year third quarter sales. Partially offsetting these volume declines was $1.3 million of pricing, including $0.6 million of US tariff cost recoveries.

Gross profit was $22.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $23.1 million in the comparable prior year quarter. Despite lower volumes and the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $2.5m, gross margin improved from 16.0% in the prior year to 16.5% in the current year. The improvement primarily reflects the benefits of cost reduction initiatives (including $1.7 million of savings from restructuring actions), productivity improvements of $1.6 million, net pricing realization of $1.0 million and $0.3 million of lower tariff costs. Third quarter fiscal 2026 gross profit also benefited from a $0.6 million recovery of previously expensed costs associated with OEM cancelled EV programs.

Selling, administrative, and engineering expenses were $17.6 million, a $1.6 million increase year-over-year. Increased costs in the current quarter were the result of incremental employee costs of $1.0 million, as higher benefit costs were partially offset by lower bonus provisions and timing of outside service spend. The current quarter also includes $0.7 million of incremental business transformation costs and a $0.7 million recovery associated with customer program cancellations.

Interest income increased $0.4 million due to increased levels of cash and cash equivalents, which are invested in overnight money market funds. Interest expense decreased $0.2 million, the result of a continued reduction in the average amounts outstanding under revolving credit agreements.

Other income (expense) was $0.7 million of expense in the current period. Changes in other income (expense) reflect foreign currency transaction gains and losses, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts, and non-service post-employment costs.

The effective income tax rate was 25.1% and 22.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for each period presented differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by the recognition of U.S. research and development tax credits and discrete income tax benefits associated with share-based payments. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased primarily due to a shift in the geographic mix of earnings toward higher-tax jurisdictions.

Year-to-date net sales totaled $427.6 million, representing an increase of $14.5 million, or 4%, compared to the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in net sales was primarily driven by $9.5 million of pricing (including $2.6 million of customer recoveries for tariffs), and a $5 million increase in shipment volumes. Sales volumes reflected a $4.6 million increase on existing platforms and $3.8 million of net new program launches, which were partially offset as sales associated with cancelled EV programs declined $3.4 million compared to the prior‑year period.

Year-to-date gross profit was $71.7 million, compared with $59.2 million in the comparable prior year period. Despite unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $4.6 million and incremental tariff costs of $1.9 million, gross profit margin improved year-over-year from 14.3% to 16.8%, a 240 basis point improvement. Material costs increased $4.9 million on higher production levels while labor and overhead costs decreased $2.9 million. Lower year-over-year conversion costs on higher sales reflect our focused efforts to manage our cost structure, which includes a $4.6 million labor cost benefit from completed restructuring actions.

Selling, administrative, and engineering expenses were 12.0% of sales for the nine months ended March 29, 2026, compared with 10.9% in the prior year period. Year-to-date expenses were $51.4 million, a $6.5 million increase year-over-year. The increase in costs reflects $3.0 million associated with headcount additions and higher incentive compensation costs $0.5 million, $2.5 million of business transformation costs ($0.5 million in the prior year period), and efforts to improve our cost structure including restructuring and voluntary retirement costs of $1.7 million ($1.1 million in the prior year period). These increases were partially offset by reduced executive transition costs of $1.4 million.

Interest income increased $1.4 million due to increased levels of cash and cash equivalents, which are invested in overnight money market funds. Interest expense decreased $0.5 million, the result of a continued reduction in the average amounts outstanding under revolving credit agreements.

Other income (expense) was $0.7 million of income in the current period. Changes in other income (expense) reflect foreign currency transaction gains and losses, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts, and non-service post-employment costs.

The effective income tax rate was 22.9% and 24.0% for the year-to-date period of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in the effective rate between period was primarily impacted by earnings mix and the foreign tax rate differential.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 29, 2026, we had $107.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $5.3 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Excess cash is held in money market funds. The following table summarizes our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):

Cash flow from operations was $36.7 million, a decrease of $4.8 million compared with the prior year. Current year-to-date cash from operations reflects improved cash earnings, while the prior year period benefited from a $17 million reduction in operating assets and liability, including the benefit of extending vendor accounts payable. Cash used in investing activities, which includes capital expenditures to support customer programs and modernization of equipment was $5.7 million year-to-date compared with $4.2 million in the prior year period. Current year cash used in financing activities resulted from the repayment of $7.0 million under the joint venture revolving credit agreement and the payment of $1.4 million for taxes withheld related to the vesting of share-based awards.

At March 29, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the $40.0 million Amended & Restated Credit Agreement and $1.0 million was outstanding under the $18.0 million joint venture revolving credit agreement.

On April 30, 2026, ADAC-Strattec LLC entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement with BMO Harris N.A. (the "Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility"), which provides for a $10 million asset-based revolving line of credit, subject to a borrowing base, maturing October 2028. The Amended & Restated JV Credit Facility replaces the previous $18.0 million joint venture facility, which was terminated upon the closing of the agreement.

We believe that the revolving credit lines, combined with our existing cash and anticipated operating cash flows will be adequate to meet operating, debt service and capital expenditure funding requirements. In the short-term., cash generated from operations will be reinvested in our business to fund our transformational efforts and growth initiatives.

Primary Working Capital Management

We use primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC %) as a key metric of working capital management. We define this metric as the sum of net accounts receivable and net inventory less accounts payable, divided by the past three months sales annualized. The following table shows a comparison of primary working capital (dollars in millions):

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching a level of reasonable assurance. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
