Just added KTCC 3.60 -.79 on these earnings: Key Tronic Corporation Announces First Quarter Results
Tuesday November 1, 4:01 pm ET
Strong Year-over-Year Earnings Improvement

For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $44.3 million, compared to $48.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was $702,000 or $0.07 per diluted share, up 166% from $266,000 or $0.03 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

"We anticipated a decline in our revenue in the first quarter based upon forecasts from existing customers and new programs have not ramped up rapidly enough to offset the decline," said Jack Oehlke, President and Chief Executive Officer. "At the same time, our improved production efficiencies have resulted in solid margins and increased year-over-year operating income and earnings. We also strengthened our balance sheet by reducing current liabilities as a result of reducing accounts payable and paying off the remaining portion of the longstanding litigation settlement."

"In the second quarter, we continue to pursue new programs and stay focused on improving operating efficiencies, controlling costs and maintaining profitability. We remain a strong competitor for winning new EMS business and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the long-term opportunities ahead."

In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company expects revenue in the range of $42 million to $46 million and earnings between $0.06 and $0.10 per share.
