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 Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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

The Company has a $40 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Strattec Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., while its 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. The credit facilities are secured by U.S. cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets located in the U.S.

Interest on borrowings under the Strattec Credit Facility is based on the bank's prime rate or SOFR plus 1.85%. Interest on borrowings under the ADAC-Strattec Credit Facility is at varying rates based on the bank's prime rate plus a 2% interest rate margin or SOFR plus 3.10%. Both credit facilities 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 September 28, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Outstanding borrowings under the credit facilities were as follows (in thousands):

Average outstanding borrowings and the weighted average interest rate under each such credit facility were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

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 that was set to mature in August 2026. The Amended & Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $40 million revolving line of credit which matures October 2028. The refinancing was undertaken to extend the maturity profile. The new facility bears interest at a rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.50%. The previous Strattec Credit Facility was terminated upon the closing of the new agreement.

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 month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 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 September 28, 2025 (in thousands, except with respect to the average forward contractual exchange rate):

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

The Company's income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 were as follows (in thousands and percentage of Income before income taxes and non-controlling interest):

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 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.

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.

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 28, 2025 was consistent with the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally higher 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. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2024 was higher than the US federal statutory rate as a result of profits generated in foreign jurisdictions (Mexico) which has a higher statutory income tax rate.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal actions, administrative proceedings, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters related to alleged product defects and warranties, contract disputes, intellectual property, and employment issues. The Company recognizes accruals for such matters in accordance with U.S. GAAP when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
