Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 interestat 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 wereno 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.

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.

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 DatesNotional AmountAverage Forward Exchange RateFair Market Value

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

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

Three Months EndedSix Months Ended
December 28, 2025December 29, 2024December 28, 2025December 29, 2024
Income before income taxes and non-controlling interest$7,342$1,803$18,235$7,049
Income tax expense$1,699$405$4,055$1,903
Effective tax rate23.1%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.
