REPORTS
FISCAL SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Milwaukee,
Wisconsin - January 18, 2007 -- STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (NASDAQ:STRT)
today reported operating results for the fiscal second quarter ended December
31, 2006.
Net
sales
for the Company’s second quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $37.9 million,
compared to net sales of $43.3 million for the second quarter ended January
1,
2006. Net income for the period was $1.1 million, compared to $2.7 million
in
the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the period were $.31
compared to $.71 in the prior year quarter.
The
significant change in sales and profitability for the second quarter compared
to
last year is a continuation of the trend that impacted our first quarter
operating results. First, the Company’s largest customers continued to reduce
their production schedules during the second quarter to match the unusually
low
sales demand for their products. Correspondingly, our overall sales volume
for
these customers was down 20% during the current quarter compared to the prior
year. This sales decline had a minimal impact on our manufacturing efficiencies
as we were able to effectively manage our operational costs at the lower
production volume. The largest contributor to the second quarter’s lower
profitability was the cost of the primary raw materials (zinc and brass) used
in
our products which continued to escalate during the quarter and were
approximately 107% higher than the prior year quarter, negatively impacting
our
gross profit margins by 6.3%. In addition, during the current quarter, the
Company recorded a $366,000 ($231,000 after tax) charge to cover severance
and
separation costs related to the move of our service products assembly operation
from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to our Juarez, Mexico facilities. The impact of this
move is expected to reduce annual operating costs by approximately $1.5
million.
For
the
six months ended December 31, 2006, net sales were $76.0 million compared to
net
sales of $88.1 million in the prior year period. Net income was $1.8 million
compared to net income of $4.4 million in the prior year period and diluted
earnings per share were $.51 compared to $1.17. In comparing results for the
current six months and the prior year six months it should be noted that the
prior year operating results included a $3.2 million ($2.02 million after tax)
charge to increase the Company’s reserve for uncollectible trade accounts
receivable related to the filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection by Delphi
Corporation. This reduced the prior year six months earnings per share by
$.54.
Overall
sales to STRATTEC’s largest customers decreased in the current quarter compared
to the prior year quarter levels. Sales to DaimlerChrysler Corporation increased
during the current quarter to $14.3 million compared to $13.1 million due to
additional vehicle content. Sales to Ford Motor Company were $4.3 million
compared to $6.8 million due to lower levels of vehicle production and
pre-programmed price reductions. Sales to General Motors Corporation were $7.4
million compared to $7.9 million due to a combination of price reductions and
lower levels of production. Sales to Delphi Corporation were $4.2 million
compared to $7.1 million due to a combination of lower levels of production
and
reduced component content. Sales to Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America,
Inc. were $560,000 compared to $1.3 million due to discontinued models and
lower
vehicle production volumes.
Gross
profit margins were 13.3 % in the current quarter compared to 19.7 % in the
prior year quarter. As stated earlier, the decrease in gross profit margin
was
primarily attributed to higher purchased material costs for zinc and brass
that
reduced gross profit margins by $2.4 million or approximately 6.3 % from the
prior year quarter. The remaining decrease was attributed to lower production
and the impact of the charge for severance and separation costs related to
the
move of service product assembly, offset by other favorable
variances.
Operating
expenses were $4.9 million in the current quarter, compared to $5.5 million
in
the prior year quarter.
The
provision for income taxes in the current quarter includes a State refund claim
recovery that positively impacted earnings per share by $.09. The prior year
tax
provision included a favorable foreign tax adjustment that positively impacted
earnings per share by $.08.
During
the current quarter, the Company contributed $1.5 million to its Pension Fund
and repurchased 17,000 STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION shares under the Company’s
stock repurchase program at a cost of $596,000.
