**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we operate in a highly competitive market and technological developments within our sphere of offerings are rapidly evolving;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in customer purchasing actions, warranty provisions and product recall policies could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including regional conflicts, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•interruptions to our information security management systems and cybersecurity incidents could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•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.

**STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

Strattec Security Corporation (the "Company" or "Strattec"), headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a leading global manufacturer and provider of highly engineered advanced automotive access and security products and solutions. Products include power access solutions, locks & locksets, keys & fobs, engineered latches, vehicle start systems, door handles, and other vehicle access products. Power access solutions provide the motion control for power liftgates, sliding power doors and power tailgates. While the Company serves major automotive OEMs globally, the majority of sales are to the three largest automobile original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in North America.

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 six months ended December 28, 2025 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**

On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement with BMO Harris N.A. ("Amended & Restated Credit Agreement"), to replace the existing $40 million Strattec Credit Facility. The Amended & Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $40 million revolving line of credit which matures October 2028. The new facility bears interest at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate or SOFR plus 1.50%. The previous Strattec Credit Facility was terminated upon the closing of the new agreement. There were no outstanding borrowings on either facility during the six months ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

The Company's joint venture has an $18 million secured revolving credit facility (the "ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility") with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which the Company guarantees. The ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility matures in August 2026. Interest on borrowings under the ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility is at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate plus 2% or SOFR plus 3.10%.

The credit facilities are secured by U.S. cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets located in the U.S. and contain a restrictive financial covenant that requires the applicable borrower to maintain a minimum net worth level. The ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility includes an additional restrictive financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Outstanding borrowings under the ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility were as follows (in thousands):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted average interest rate | 7.1% | 8.2% |

**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 six month periods ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, 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 December 28, 2025 (in thousands, except with respect to the average forward exchange rate):

| Effective tax rate | 23.1% | 22.5% | 22.2% | 27.0% |

---

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 7. RESTRUCTURING**

In an effort to optimize its cost structure, the Company implemented a one-time voluntary retirement program during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The total expected cost of this action is $2.2 million, of which $1.7 million was recognized in the the three months ended December 28, 2025. This cost included $1.3 million of separation payments and $0.4 million for the acceleration of share-based awards. The remaining $0.5 million of cost is expected to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2026. Restructuring costs were $0.3 million in the three months ended December 29, 2024. All accrued retirement payments will be paid in the next twelve months. Voluntary retirement expense is reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as part of Selling, Administrative, and Engineering Expenses.

The Company recognizes accruals for such matters in accordance with U.S. GAAP when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**OPERATIONS**

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

**Business Overview**

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. Lower near term North American light vehicle production estimates, which are subject to change, are a result of recent industry-wide supply chain disruptions, tariff uncertainties, 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.

------

Second quarter fiscal 2026 net sales totaled $137.5 million, representing an increase of $7.6 million, or 6%, compared with the prior year second quarter. The year-over-year increase in net sales was primarily driven by $4.4 million of pricing (including $1.4 million of customer recoveries for tariffs), $3.0 million of favorable mix and content per vehicle and $2.4 million in net new program launches, partially offset by $2.3 million lower market demand.

Gross profit was $22.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $17.2 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross profit margin improved year-over-year from 13.2% to 16.5%, a 330 basis point improvement, as a result of enhanced leverage of our fixed cost structure from increased production volumes combined with a $3.0 million benefit from pricing. Improved year-over-year conversion costs reflect $2.3 million in labor cost savings (including benefits from previously completed restructuring actions) and $0.5 million lower royalty expense on reduced aftermarket demand. Offsetting headwinds included unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $1.6 million, $1.2 million of higher Mexico labor costs and incremental tariff costs of $0.9 million.

Selling, administrative, and engineering expenses were 13.0% of sales for the three months ended December 28, 2025, compared with 11.6% in the prior year period. Fiscal 2026 second quarter expenses were $17.9 million, a $2.8 million increase year-over-year. The current year quarter included a $1.7 million charge related to a voluntary retirement program while the prior year included a $0.2 million restructuring charge. Additional costs in the current quarter were the result of investments in the business including incremental employee costs of $0.7 million, timing of outside service spend and $0.7 million of business transformation costs. The second quarter last year also included $1.1 million of executive transition costs, compared to $0.1 million in the current year.

Interest income increased $0.5 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 the continued paydown of amounts outstanding under revolving credit agreements.

Other income (expense) was $1.7 million of income in the current period compared to $0.5 million of expense in the prior year. Changes in other income (expense), reflect foreign currency transaction gains and losses, changes in the fair value of peso forward contracts and non-service post-employment costs.

The effective income tax rate was 23.1% and 22.4% for the second 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.

Year-to-date net sales totaled $289.9 million, representing an increase of $21.0 million, or 8%, in the comparable prior year period. The year-over-year increase in net sales was primarily driven by $8.3 million of pricing (including $1.9 million of customer recoveries for tariffs), $5.6 million of higher demand, $4.4 million in net new program launches and $2.6 million of favorable mix and content per vehicle.

Year-to-date gross profit was $49.1 million, compared with $36.1 million in the comparable prior year period. Despite unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $2.1 million and incremental tariff costs of $1.9 million, gross profit margin improved year-over-year from 13.4% to 16.9%, a 350 basis point improvement. Material costs increased $9.7 million on higher production levels while labor and overhead costs decreased $1.8 million. Lower year-over-year conversion costs on higher sales reflect our focused efforts to manage our cost structure, which includes a $3.0 million labor cost benefit from completed restructuring actions. Annual merit increases of $2.3 million and incremental freight & logistics costs of $0.4 million (due to supply chain disruptions) were offset by reduced aftermarket royalty costs on reduced demand and a $0.5 million lower provision for annual bonuses.

Selling, administrative, and engineering expenses were 11.6% of sales for the six months ended December 28, 2025, compared with 10.7% in the prior year period. Year-to-date expenses were $33.7 million, a $4.9 million increase year-over-year. The increase in costs reflects efforts to improve our cost structure including one-time restructuring and voluntary retirement costs of $1.3 million ($0.3 million in the prior year period) and $1.0 million of business transformation costs ($0.2 million in the prior year period). Higher incentive compensation cost of $0.7 million and $1.6 million associated with headcount additions were partially offset by reduced executive transition costs of $1.6 million.

Interest income increased $1.0 million due to increased levels of cash and cash equivalents, which are invested in overnight money market funds. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, the result of the repayment of amounts outstanding under revolving credit agreements.

Other income (expense) was $1.4 million of income in the current period compared to $0.4 million of expense in the prior year. Changes in other income (expense), reflect foreign currency transaction gains and losses, changes in the fair value of peso forward contracts and non-service post-employment costs.

------

The effective income tax rate was 22.2% and 27.0% for the year-to-date period of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the prior year period was impacted by the foreign tax rate differential and a limitation on the utilization of our foreign tax credits on non-deductible items.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

At December 28, 2025, we had $99.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $3.6 million was held by our 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):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Six Months Ended** | **Six Months Ended** |
|  | **December 28, 2025** | **December 29, 2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash provided by operating activities | $25.2 | $20.8 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash used in investing activities | (3.9) | (3.0) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash used in financing activities | (6.8) |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effect of exchange rate changes on cash |  | (0.6) |
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $14.5 | $17.2 |

---

Cash flow from operations was $25.2 million, and increase of $4.4 million compared with the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities for the year-to-date period of fiscal 2026 reflects cash earnings against flat operating assets and liabilities. Year-to-date cash flow from operations in both periods reflects the payment of annual short-term incentive compensation earned in the prior year and a replenishment of our inventory balance partially offset by the collection of receivables. Cash used in investing activities, which includes capital expenditures to support customer programs and modernization of equipment was $3.9 million year-to-date compared with $3.0 million in the prior year period. Current year net cash used in financing activities resulted from the repayment of $5.5 million under the joint venture revolving credit agreement during fiscal 2026 and the payment of $1.3 million for taxes withheld related to the vesting of share-based awards.

At December 28, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the $40.0 million Amended & Restated Credit Agreement and $2.5 million was outstanding under the $18.0 million joint venture revolving credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit facilities at December 28, 2025.

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 both the short term and beyond.

*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):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 28, 2025** | **PWC %** | **June 29, 2025** | **PWC %** |
| Accounts Receivable, net | $89 | 16% | $102 | 17% |
| Inventory, net | 72 | 13% | 65 | 11% |
| Accounts payable | (60) | (11%) | (66) | (11%) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net primary working capital | $101 | 18% | $101 | 17% |

---

Primary working capital levels at December 28, 2025 were consistent with the beginning of the fiscal year, as we increased inventory levels $7.2 million to improve customer deliveries, which was offset by reduced accounts receivable of $12.9 million on sequentially lower sales and a $6.3 million reduction in accounts payable due to timing of inventory purchases and payments.

Not applicable.

**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.
