| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $579.4M | +2.5% | +10.3% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $20.6M | +10.2% | +19.8% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +16.5% | +10.0% | -5.4% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +4.6% | +13.5% | +28.9% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +3.6% | +7.5% | +8.6% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $39.0M | -39.6% | -15.0% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +6.7% | -41.1% | -22.9% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 0.0% | -100.0% | -100.0% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 2.90x | +19.2% | +10.4% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $387.5M | -1.0% | -3.0% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 5.00 vs 6.19 | -19.2% | 0.95 vs 1.36 | -30.1% |

Operator: Greetings. Welcome to Strattec's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded. At this time, I'll turn the conference over to Deborah Pawlowski, Investor Relations for Strattec. Thank you. You may begin. Deborah Pawlowski: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us for Strattec's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. Joining me on the call today are Jennifer Slater, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and Matthew Pauli, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Jen and Matt will review our fourth quarter and full year financial results, the progress we are making on our transformation and our outlook for fiscal 2027. You can find a copy of the news release and the slides that accompany our conversation today on the Investor Relations section of the company's website. If you are reviewing those slides, please turn to Slide 2 for the safe harbor statement. As you are aware, we may make forward-looking statements during the formal discussion and during Q&A. These statements apply to future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties as well as other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is stated on today's call. These risks and uncertainties and other factors are discussed in the earnings release and in other documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find these documents on our website as well. I also want to point out that during today's call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe are useful in evaluating our performance. You should not consider this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for the results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We provided reconciliations of non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables accompanying the earnings release and in the supplemental slides. So with that, I'll turn the call over to Jen, who will begin with Slide 3. Jennifer Slater: Thank you, Deb, and good morning, everyone. Fiscal '26 was a year of progress as we continue to reshape Strattec into a more resilient, higher-performing business. We delivered record annual revenue of $579.4 million, expanded full year gross margin by 150 basis points to 16.5%, generated $46.3 million in operating cash flow and ended the year with $108.2 million of cash and no debt. In the fourth quarter, sales of $151.8 million were better than expected and essentially flat with the prior year period. These results were achieved in a dynamic automotive environment. Throughout the year, we managed fluctuating North American production levels, the evolving tariff environment, foreign exchange headwinds and customer cancellations of certain EV programs. We believe that our fiscal '26 results are an affirmation that the transformation is …
