Management also expects a return to profitability in fiscal 2027’s second half, but new program ramps remain uncertain and financing constraints continue to delay shipments.
Key Tronic Corporation expects labor cost reductions to save about $8 million annually, while management expects the electronics manufacturer to return to profitability in the second half of fiscal 2027.
The company also expects revenue growth, but the timing of program ramps remains uncertain. Key Tronic did not provide guidance for its fiscal second quarter.
New awards represent more than $60 million in potential annual revenue. Capital constraints limit how quickly Key Tronic can convert demand into shipments, and the company is pursuing additional financing.
The financing pressure previously delayed about $18 million in shipments during the first quarter. Tight credit and suppliers’ upfront-payment requirements contributed to those delays.
The profitability outlook falls in fiscal 2027’s second half. Program ramp timing and access to capital remain constraints on converting demand into revenue.
