REPORTS FISCAL SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Milwaukee, Wisconsin - January 13, 2005 -- STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (NASDAQ:STRT) today reported operating results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 26, 2004.
Net sales for the Company's second quarter ended December 26, 2004 were $48.4 million, compared to net sales of $50.0 million for the second quarter ended December 28, 2003. Net income for the period was $4.4 million, compared to $4.6 million in the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the period were $1.15 compared to $1.21 in the prior year quarter.
For the six months ended December 26, 2004, net sales were $93.0 million compared to net sales of $94.4 million in the prior year period. Net income was $8.1 million compared to net income of $8.2 million in the prior year period and diluted earnings per share were $2.09 compared to $2.15.
Overall sales to STRATTECs largest customers decreased in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter levels. Sales to DaimlerChrysler Corporation increased significantly during the current quarter to $12.8 million compared to $9.5 million due to a more favorable vehicle content mix. Sales to Delphi Corporation were flat at $8.0 million. Sales to General Motors Corporation were $10.8 million compared to $14.0 million due to a combination of price reductions, discontinued models and lower levels of production on certain vehicles. Sales to Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America, Inc. were $1.0 million compared to $2.1 million due to lower vehicle production volumes. Sales to Ford Motor Company decreased slightly at $8.5 million compared to $9.0 million due to pre-programmed price reductions. Th
e Ford Motor Company sales in the current quarter do not reflect approximately $600,000 of new lockset content relating to the Ford Mustang. This vehicle content is sold directly to Ford's joint venture partner AutoAlliance.
Gross profit margins were 23.6 percent in the current quarter compared to 24.2 percent in the prior year quarter. The gross profit margin decline during the current quarter was attributed primarily to product sales mix, lower production volumes, and higher purchased material costs for brass and zinc.
Operating expenses were $4.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $5.0 million in the prior year quarter.
During the quarter, the Company contributed $3.0 million to its Pension Fund and repurchased 12,500 STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION shares under the Companys stock repurchase program at a cost of $787,000.
STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION designs, develops, manufactures and markets mechanical locks, electro-mechanical locks and related access control products for North American and other global automotive manufacturers.
