Kimball Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KE) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 with net sales totaling $425.0 million and a net loss of $6.1 million, or $0.24 per share. This result includes the impairment of the Automation, Test & Measurement business, which the Company expects to divest, along with restructuring expense, partially offset by the recovery of a legal settlement. A detailed reconciliation is provided later in this release.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Richard D. Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “As we anticipated, the operating environment has remained challenged for the EMS industry, and our sales in the third quarter declined as expected. During this period of end market softness, we have focused on ‘controlling what we can control,’ proactively aligning our cost structure with short-term demand trends, maintaining competitiveness with stable operating margins, and focusing on working capital improvements.”

Mr. Phillips continued, “We’re taking meaningful steps to sharpen our strategic focus and further position the Company for profitable growth, and stronger performance moving forward. With the expected divestiture of the Automation, Test & Measurement business, our team can increase focus and support on our core EMS operations. While we suspect the macro headwinds will persist in fiscal 2025, we’re continuing to make investments in long-term growth opportunities supported by a robust funnel for new business in the next 18-24 months, while deploying a capital allocation strategy that balances growth, lasting customer relationships, and returning cash to Share Owners with opportunistic share repurchases.”

The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $65.2 million and borrowings outstanding on credit facilities of $319.6 million, including $235.0 million classified as long term, and $117.4 million of borrowing capacity available. Capital expenditures were $13.4 million in Q3.
