Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Item 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Key Tronic Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Key Tronic Corporation (the “Company”) as of June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognized Over Time
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in Notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reported revenue of $387 million for the year ended June 27, 2026, of which $367 million related to revenue recognized over time. 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, intellectual property, 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
30
method is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation.
We identified the auditing of revenue recognized over time on contracts for manufacturing products, including the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation as a critical audit matter. Auditing management’s estimates used in the calculation of revenue recognized over time involved significant audit effort, as well as especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to auditing revenue recognized over time on contracts for manufacturing products, including the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation, included the following, among others:
▪ Evaluating the methodology of estimating costs incurred to date on in-process contracts, testing the completeness and accuracy of the system generated reports used to estimate costs incurred, and performing data validation procedures.
▪ Recalculating the expected costs on in-process contracts, testing a selection of contracts to source documents, and tracing in-process orders to subsequent sales and shipping documentation within a reasonable period after year-end.
▪ Identifying and testing significant assumptions used in the revenue calculation, including the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations.
▪ Comparing margins realized to trending historic margins and comparing total manufacturing services revenue recognized to an independent expectation of manufacturing services revenue.
▪ Performing cutoff procedures to test that revenue transactions were recorded in the appropriate period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. 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; Springdale, Arkansas; Corinth, Mississippi; and foreign manufacturing operations in Juarez, Mexico; and Da Nang, Vietnam. The Company also conducts procurement operations in Shanghai, China to support the manufacturing operations at its other facilities.
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 loss and net loss of $( 14.7 ) million and $( 47.8 ) million respectively, during the 12-month period ended June 27, 2026 and have positive working capital of $ 117.3 million as of June 27, 2026. 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 2026. Based on current projections, we anticipate generating cash from operations as revenue increases in the first half of fiscal year 2027.
As of June 27, 2026 and September 12, 2026, we had approximately $ 16.5 million and $ 16.9 million of gross borrowing capacity on our credit facility, respectively, which is further limited by certain covenant blocks in the loan agreement. The agreement 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.
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 number of performance-based restricted stock units expected to vest 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.
37
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 operations. 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 sales. 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.
38
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 sales. 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 27, 2026, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount of $ 10.7 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
39
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 sales.
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 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, reasonably approximate their fair value. The Company had an outstanding balance on its lines of credit of $ 75.8 million as of June 27, 2026, and $ 71.2 million as of June 28, 2025, with a carrying value that reasonably approximates the fair value. The Company had an outstanding balance on its foreign term loan of MXN 34.6 million ($ 2.0 million USD) as of June 27, 2026, and MXN 18.9 million ($ 1.0 million USD) as of June 28, 2025, with a carrying value that reasonably approximates the fair value. The domestic equipment term loans were $ 7.1 million as of June 27, 2026, and $ 9.0 million as of June 28, 2025, 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 sales, 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 accounted for prospectively as they occur.
Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On November 4, 2024 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.

(1) On December 3, 2024, the Company entered into an asset-based credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, certain domestic subsidiaries (as co-borrowers or guarantors), BMO Bank, N.A (the "Bank"), as administrative agent and swing line lender, BMO Capital Markets as arranger and book runner, and certain financial institutions, as lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") of up to $ 115 million, maturing on December 3, 2029.
Generally, under the Credit Agreement and at the Company’s option: (i) each SOFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (Term SOFR plus 0.10 %, subject to a floor of 0.00 %) plus an applicable margin of 2.50 % to 3.00 %, depending on the availability of borrowing amounts under the Credit Agreement; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan, Swing Line Loan or other Obligation shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (subject to a floor of 1.00 %) plus an applicable margin of 1.50 % to 2.00 %, depending on the availability of borrowing amounts under the Credit Agreement. As of June 27, 2026 the applicable margin was 2.75 % for SOFR Loans and 1.75 % for Base Rate Loans. If there is an event of default under the Credit Agreement, all loans and other obligations may bear interest at a rate of an additional 2.00 % on the otherwise applicable interest rates. In addition to the applicable interest rates, the Company is required to pay a fee of 0.2 % per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, monthly in arrears. Availability on the line of credit is generally determined based on eligible inventory and accounts receivable balances, certain machinery and equipment located in the US, and other covenant restrictions, including a $ 13 million availability block, which functions to reduce the Company's total availability.
On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into a first amendment and limited waiver to the Credit Agreement. The amendment waived an existing event of cross-default created by an event of default under the Term Loan as defined and discussed in footnote (2) below. The amendment also adds an additional reporting requirement.
Proceeds from the Credit Facility and the Term Loan discussed below were used to pay-off the Company's prior loan and security agreement, as amended, with Bank of America, N.A. in the amount of $ 99.7 million, as well as its outstanding equipment term loan, and financing costs related to the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan may also be used to pay-off certain other existing debt, to issue letters of credit, and for other business purposes, including working capital needs.
As of June 27, 2026, the Company had an outstanding balance under the asset-based revolving credit facility of $ 74.7 million, $ 0.7 million in outstanding letters of credit and $ 16.5 million of potential borrowing capacity, further limited by the availability block in the loan agreement.
As of June 28, 2025, the Company had an outstanding balance under the asset-based revolving credit facility of $ 67.9 million, $ 0.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and $ 25.0 million of potential borrowing capacity, further limited by the availability block in the loan agreement.
(2) On December 3, 2024, the Company entered into a $ 28 million term loan (the "Term Loan") credit agreement among the Company, certain domestic subsidiaries (as co-borrowers or guarantors), Callodine Commercial Finance, LLC (“Callodine”), as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions, as term loan lenders. The Term Loan requires quarterly repayments of principal in the amount of $ 0.75 million. The remainder will be payable at maturity which is the earlier of December 3, 2029 or the maturity of the Credit Agreement described above. The Term Loan bears interest at Adjusted Term SOFR (Term SOFR plus
42
0.15 %, subject to a floor of 3.50 %) plus an applicable margin of 7.00 %. If there is an event of default under the Term Loan, all loans and other obligations may bear interest at a rate of an additional 2.00 % on the otherwise applicable interest rate.
On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into a first amendment and limited waiver to the Term Loan. The amendment waived an existing event of default relating to non-compliance with minimum required earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments for the period ending March 29, 2025. The amendment permanently adds an additional reporting requirement, and requires minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments only if average daily availability for the applicable fiscal quarter is less than 12.5 % of the combined borrowing base.
(3) On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement in Mexican peso with Banorte Financial Group. The agreement provides for a three-year secured line of credit up to MXN 100 million, subject to the Company’s borrowing base, maturing on December 11, 2026. On October 2, 2025, the company refinanced its loan agreement with Banorte Financial Group. The refinanced agreement separated the existing MXN 100 million line of credit into two separate debt instruments. The first instrument allows for a line of credit of up to MXN 20 million, subject to the Company’s borrowing base, maturing on December 11, 2026. The second component is a MXN 40 million term loan, requiring monthly payments of MXN 678 thousand through maturity on September 7, 2030. No proceeds were received as a result of the refinanced agreement. The agreement is subject to certain financial covenants which are reviewed on an annual basis. During fiscal year 2026 it was determined that the Company was not in compliance with the debt coverage and leverage covenants for the local Mexico entity. The non-compliance was primarily due to a change in the methodology for calculating and remitting Income Tax (ISR). The Company was notified by the Banorte Financial Group that they have chosen to not exercise their right to accelerate the maturity of outstanding loans.
The credit facility bears interest at Iterbancario de Equilibrio Interest Rate plus 2.75 %, and as of June 27, 2026, was 9.5 %. As of June 27, 2026, the Company had an outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility of MXN 18 million ($ 1.0 million USD) and MXN 2 million ($ 0.1 million USD) was available for future borrowings.
(4) On September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a $ 1.1 million equipment financing agreement with Ameris Bank dba Balboa Capital ("Balboa Capital"). Combining with other equipment financing agreements entered in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, a total of $ 5.5 million relates to the Company’s existing manufacturing equipment that bears an interest rate range of 6 % - 8 % and matures in the first quarter of fiscal 2030. Under these loan agreements, equal monthly payments of $ 94,000 commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and will continue through the maturity of the equipment financing facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2030.
(5) On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a $ 6.0 million equipment financing facility related to the Company’s existing manufacturing equipment that bears interest at 5.52 % and matures on April 24, 2026. Under this loan agreement, equal monthly payments of $ 100,000 commenced on May 24, 2021 and continued through the maturity of the equipment financing facility on April 24, 2026.
(6) On May 1, 2025, the Company entered into a $ 4.0 million equipment financing facility related to new manufacturing equipment. On December 16, 2025, the equipment financing facility was amended and restated to reduce the financing proceeds to $ 0.7 million to be paid in equal quarterly payments of $ 69,022 The amended equipment financing facility bears interest at 13.6 % and will mature on December 16, 2028.
(7) On March 6, 2025, the Company entered into a $ 5.0 million equipment financing facility related to the Company’s existing manufacturing equipment that bears interest at 11.71 % and matures on June 30, 2028. Under this loan agreement, equal quarterly payments of $ 464,361 commenced on July 15, 2025 and will continue through the maturity of the equipment financing facility on June 30, 2028.

The Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including average and daily availability and, if triggered, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments and a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant will apply. The credit agreement requires the Company to grant certain inspection rights to Bank of Montreal, limit or restrict the Company’s cash management; limit or restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional liens, make acquisitions or investments, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions, or dispositions, pay dividends or other restricted payments, prepay certain indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, and use proceeds. As of June 27, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. As noted above in (3), the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants for the local Mexico entity. The Company was notified by the Banorte Financial Group that they have chosen to not exercise their right to accelerate the maturity of outstanding loans.

The Company has gross tax credit carryforwards of approximately $ 12.2 million at June 27, 2026 consisting of federal research and development (R&D) tax credits.
Management has reviewed all deferred tax assets for purposes of determining whether a valuation allowance may be required. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required if it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At June 27, 2026, the Company evaluated the realizability of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets by considering all available positive and negative evidence. The principal negative evidence included a significant cumulative loss in recent years in the U.S. tax-paying group, continued annual U.S. losses, and fiscal 2026 revenue and operating results below the levels reflected in prior forecasts. At earlier fiscal 2026 reporting dates, management concluded that this negative evidence was outweighed by the positive evidence then available, including scheduled reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the absence of a history of tax credit or operating loss carryforwards expiring unused, and forecasted future U.S. taxable income associated with anticipated program ramps and operating improvements. At March 28, 2026, the forecast continued to reflect a return to operating profitability during the fourth quarter and was supported by strong customer demand.
During the fourth quarter, actual U.S. operating results did not achieve the timing or magnitude contemplated in the March 28, 2026, realizability assessment. This additional actual-result evidence, considered together with previous forecast shortfalls and the significant cumulative U.S. loss position, reduced the weight that could be placed on projected future taxable income as positive evidence. Because future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences were insufficient to realize the net U.S. deferred tax assets and no carryback or qualifying tax-planning strategies were available, management concluded at June 27, 2026, that it was no longer more likely than not that the affected deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance of approximately $ 28.4 million against its net U.S. deferred tax assets, which increased income tax expense by approximately $ 28.4 million in the fourth quarter. The U.S. allowance, together with the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets in China, resulted in a total valuation allowance of approximately
$ 29.5 million at June 27, 2026.
On January 27, 2021, the Company received official notice from the Vietnamese tax authorities, confirming tax benefits awarded related to the Company’s principal product line in Vietnam (the “Tax Holiday”). Under the Tax Holiday, the tax rate applied to income derived from this product line will be zero percent for four years beginning with fiscal year 2021, then five
45
percent for nine years, then ten percent for one year (as opposed to the normal twenty percent Vietnamese statutory rate). For fiscal year 2026, the impact of the Vietnam Tax Holiday on the effective tax rate was $ 177,000 or 1.0 percentage points.
The Company continuously evaluates impact of tax law and regulatory changes. For fiscal year 2026, the Company evaluated the impact of enacted tax law changes, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) which was enacted on July 4, 2025, and reflected the effects of enacted changes in the measurement of current and deferred taxes as applicable. These tax law changes mitigate federal income taxes payable, but do not materially impact the Company’s overall tax position and effective tax rate.
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) mandated that, for tax years after fiscal year 2022, certain costs incurred for research and development (R&D) activities would no longer be allowed for immediate deduction but would be capitalized and amortized over 5 years (for R&D activities performed domestically) or 15 years (for R&D activities performed abroad). The Company began capitalizing and amortizing such costs in fiscal year 2023, resulting in an increase to income taxes payable that was largely offset by the utilization of R&D credit carryovers. The OBBBA eliminated the capitalization requirement, applicable to the Company beginning in 2026.
In future years, repatriations of cash will generally be tax-free in the U.S. However, withholding taxes in China may still apply to any such future repatriations. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, Management changed its indefinite investment assertions relating to the portion of accumulated earnings and profits in China that may be repatriated in the future and updated its deferred tax liability based on the withholding tax expected in connection with future repatriation. Accordingly, management estimates that future repatriations of cash from China may result in approximately $ 0.1 million of withholding tax. There would be no offsetting foreign tax credits in the U.S. and as such, this potential liability is a direct cost associated with actual repatriations. Withholding taxes will not apply to future repatriations from Mexico or Vietnam.
The Company expects to repatriate approximately $ 0.9 million from China, in the future. All other unremitted foreign earnings are expected to remain permanently reinvested for planned fixed assets purchases and improvements in foreign locations.

Uncertain Tax Positions:
The Company has R&D tax credits that approximate $ 12.2 million that have 20 -year carryforwards before expiring. The Company’s R&D tax credits expire in various fiscal years from 2033 to 2046.
As of June 27, 2026, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $ 3.1 million related to its gross R&D tax credits. The unrecognized tax benefits relate to certain R&D tax credits generated from 2005 to 2026.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Fiscal Year Ended

Ending balance $ 3,068 $ 2,963
The $ 3.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits at the end of fiscal year 2026, if recognized, would increase the deferred tax assets and corresponding valuation allowance, having no impact on the effective tax rate.
49
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in its income tax provision. The Company has not recognized any interest or penalties in the fiscal years presented in these financial statements. The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, Mexico, China and Vietnam. Certain years remain subject to examination but there are currently no ongoing exams in any taxing jurisdiction.
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by including both the weighted-average number of shares outstanding and any dilutive common share equivalents in the denominator. The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominator and the number of antidilutive common share awards that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. These antidilutive securities occur when equity awards outstanding have an option price greater than the average market price for the period:

7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS
The Company’s 2024 Incentive Plan provides for equity and liability awards to employees and non-employee directors with service and performance vesting conditions in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based or cash-based awards. At June 27, 2026, 1,135,150 shares were available for grant under the 2024 Incentive Plan. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite employee service period, which is generally the vesting period, and is recorded as employee compensation expense in cost of sales, research, development and engineering, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest.
Stock Appreciation Rights
In addition to service conditions, SARs contain a performance condition. The additional performance condition is based upon the achievement of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) goals relative to a peer group. All awards with performance conditions are evaluated quarterly to determine the likelihood that performance metrics will be achieved during the performance period. These awards are charged to compensation expense over the requisite service period based on the number of shares expected to vest. If the performance and service conditions are attained, then the SARs cliff vest after the completion of the three-year period from date of grant and expire five years from date of grant.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used by the Company for estimating the fair value of SARs. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly for the expected term and expected stock price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. There were no SARs granted during fiscal years ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. This forfeiture rate will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the amount estimated. No SARs expense was recognized during fiscal year ended June 27, 2026 and $( 141,000 ) was recognized during fiscal year ended June 28, 2025.
There were no SARs exercised during fiscal years ended June 27, 2026 or June 28, 2025.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants restricted stock units that have a performance condition and/or a service condition. Restricted stock units with only a service condition generally vest in equal annual installments over a maximum of three years . Certain restricted stock units are granted with a performance condition. The final number of shares issued will be determined annually based on the achievement of annual financial targets. Forfeitures for restricted stock units are accounted for prospectively as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock units is the market close price on the date of grant.
The following table is a summary of restricted stock unit activity:

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Other Matters
The Company is party to certain lawsuits or claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.
Warranties
The Company provides warranties on certain product sales. Allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from management's estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. As of June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, the reserve for warranty costs was approximately $ 25,279 and $ 26,047 respectively.
Leases
Please refer to Footnote “Leases” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for information regarding lease commitments.
Internal Investigation and SEC Settlement
During fiscal year 2021, the Company’s Audit Committee completed an internal investigation arising from a notification from an employee regarding certain alleged accounting irregularities. In January 2021, the Company determined that improper accounting resulted in an understatement of cost of goods sold and an overstatement of inventories. Subsequent to the matter identified in January 2021, additional inventory accounting errors unrelated to the investigation were also identified by management. The investigation did not result in a restatement of our previously filed financial statements.
On April 20, 2026, the Company, its CEO Brett R. Larsen, and employee, Nicholas S. Fasciana, settled books and records and internal controls charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), fully resolving the previously disclosed SEC inquiries, which related to the Company’s response to the employee’s notification and related earnings release disclosure. Under the terms of the SEC Order, each of the Company, Mr. Larsen, and Mr. Fasciana agreed to cease-and-desist from committing or causing any violations or any future violations of Sections 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, and Mr. Fasciana also agreed to cease-and-desist from committing or causing any violations or any future violations of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act. The Company was not required to pay any civil penalty or other payments in connection with the settlement.
Indemnification Rights
Under the Company’s bylaws, the Company’s directors and officers have certain rights to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The Company maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and officers and former directors in certain circumstances.
9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A significant portion of our operations are in foreign locations, which results in transactions occurring in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As a part of our risk management strategy, we use Mexican Peso forward contracts to hedge foreign currency fluctuations for a portion of our Mexican Peso denominated expenses. As of June 27, 2026, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with a total notional amount of $ 10.7 million. The maturity dates for these contracts extend through the third quarter of fiscal year 2027. For the three months ended June 27, 2026, the Company did not enter into any foreign currency forward contracts and settled $ 8.7 million of such contracts. During the same period of the previous year, the Company did no t enter into any foreign currency forward contracts and settled $ 8.0 million of such contracts.
52
During the twelve months ended June 27, 2026, the Company entered into $ 27.0 million of foreign currency forward contracts and settled $ 29.1 million of such contracts. During the same period of the previous year, the Company entered into $ 29.0 million of foreign currency forward contracts and settled $ 28.6 million of such contracts.
Changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recognized as a component of OCI and will be recognized in cost of sales when the hedged item affects earnings. The amount of net gains expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is $ 238,000 .

As of June 27, 2026, the Company does not have any foreign exchange contracts with credit-risk-related contingent features. The Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates from our lines of credit and foreign currency risk resulting from our China and Vietnam operations. The Company does not currently manage these risk exposures by using derivative instruments.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company has adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for assets and liabilities being measured and reported at fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There are three levels of fair value hierarchy inputs used to value assets and liabilities which include: Level 1 – inputs are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. There have been no changes in the fair value methodologies used at June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, and current liabilities are reflected on the balance sheets at June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 and reasonably approximate their fair value.
The Company’s long-term debt, which is measured at amortized cost, primarily consists of an asset-based revolving credit facility, term loans, and equipment loans. The asset-based revolving credit facility and Callodine term loan borrowings bear interest at Adjusted SOFR per the loan agreements. Each of these rates is a variable floating rate dependent upon current market conditions and the Company’s current average availability as discussed along with the interest rates for all long-term debt agreements in Footnote “Long-Term Debt” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
53
As a result of the determinable market rates for our asset-based revolving credit facility and equipment loans, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Further, the carrying value of each of these instruments reasonably approximates their fair value as of June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE DISCLOSURES
Operating segments are defined in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. As of June 27, 2026, the Company operates and internally manages a single operating segment, Electronics Manufacturing Services, as this is the only discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. This segment provides integrated electronic and mechanical engineering, assembly, sourcing and procurement, logistics, and new product testing for our customers. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance and determines resource allocation for the Company’s single reportable segment based on consolidated net income/loss and total assets/liabilities. The accounting policies of the single reportable segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Significant segment measures include gross profit which is primarily composed of materials spend and labor costs, which are further presented below.

12. REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
The Company specializes in services ranging from product manufacturing to engineering and tooling services. 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.
56
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.
The Company’s typical payment terms are 30 to 45 days and its sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers.
The Company generally provides a warranty for workmanship on its manufacturing contracts. Although we offer warranties on our products, our warranties are considered to be assurance-type in nature and do not cover anything beyond ensuring that the product is functioning as intended. Based on the guidance in ASC 606, assurance-type warranties do not represent separate performance obligations; therefore, the primary performance obligation in the majority of our contracts is the delivery of a specific good through the purchase order submitted by our customer.
The Company elected to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations as they are part of contracts that that have expected durations of one year or less.
The Company has elected to expense costs to obtain contracts as incurred as these costs are immaterial to the financial statements.
During fiscal 2026 and 2025, no revenues were recognized from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods.
Contract Balances
A contract asset is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue, but has not issued an invoice for payment. Contract assets are classified separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and transferred to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional.
The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s contract assets during the twelve months ended June 27, 2026 (in thousands):

The Company also has long term contract assets of approximately $ 4.7 million at June 27, 2026, and $ 10.4 million at June 28, 2025, classified under Other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. No revenue was recognized, and approximately $ 0.8 million was collected or invoiced related to these balances during the period. The remaining decrease relates to a provision for credit losses that was booked during 2026. The remaining performance obligations related to these amounts are tied to the manufacturing of electronic products.

13. LEASES
The Company has several commitments under operating and financing leases for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, office buildings, and equipment with initial terms that expire at various dates during the next 1 year to 10 years.
The Company has some leases that include an extension clause. Management has considered the likelihood of exercising each extension option included and estimated the duration of the extension option, for those leases management determined to be reasonably certain, in calculating the lease term for measurement of the right of use asset and liability.
For operating leases, management assumed a discount rate of 4.0 % to 9.5 % . The weighted average discount rate is disclosed in the tables below.
