Key Tronic Corporation, a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), has announced its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $118.5 million, up 2% from $116.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2016. For the first six months of fiscal year 2017, total revenue was $235.7 million, compared to $242.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2016.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 was $1.5 million or $0.14 per share, compared to $1.8 million or $0.16 per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. For the first six months of fiscal year 2017, net income was $3.3 million or $0.30 per share, up 27% from $2.6 million or $0.23 per share for the same period of fiscal year 2016.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, gross margin was 8.1% and operating margin was 2.1%, compared to 7.8% and 2.1%, respectively, in the same period of fiscal 2016.
"During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, our new programs continued to ramp, more than offsetting a modest slowdown in demand from a few longstanding customers, which is consistent with EMS industry-wide experience," said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. "At the same time, we captured significant new business from other EMS competitors, including established programs that will begin generating revenue before the end of fiscal 2017."
"We recently won new programs involving inventory automation systems and commercial lighting. Moving into the third quarter, we continue to see a robust pipeline of potential new business and our new programs continue to ramp, effectively offsetting softening sales demand in some current programs. In preparation for future growth, we continue to invest in expanding our SMT, sheet metal and plastic molding capabilities."
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $115 million to $120 million, and earnings in the range of $0.11 to $0.16 per diluted share. These expected results assume an effective tax rate of 20% in the quarter.

Defense Speak Interpreted: If CHIPS Cuts Back, What Happens to Electronics Packaging Funds?
09/02/2025 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedIn my May column, I examined the topic of the CHIPS Act and its current status as a U.S. government program. I found that CHIPS activities continue, but some corporations have delayed or canceled them because of budget cuts or corporation-specific problems. However, CHIPS integrated circuits—mostly administered by the Department of Commerce—don’t fully drive the electronics interconnection activity being funded by the government. Let’s cover the progress/status of other programs:
