STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Basis of Financial Statements

STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION designs, develops, manufactures and markets automotive access control products including mechanical locks and keys, electronically enhanced locks and keys, passive entry passive start systems (PEPS), steering column and instrument panel ignition lock housings, latches, power sliding door systems, power tailgate systems, power lift gate systems, power deck lid systems, door handles and related products for primarily North American automotive customers. We also supply global automotive manufacturers through a unique strategic relationship with WITTE Automotive (“WITTE”) of Velbert, Germany, and ADAC Automotive (“ADAC”) of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Under this relationship, STRATTEC, WITTE and ADAC market the products of each company to global customers under the “VAST Automotive Group” brand name (as more fully described herein). STRATTEC products are shipped to customer locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Korea, China and India, and we, along with our VAST LLC partners, provide full service and aftermarket support for each VAST Automotive Group partner’s products.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated results of STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION, its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, STRATTEC de Mexico, and its majority owned subsidiaries, ADAC-STRATTEC, LLC and STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC. STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. STRATTEC de Mexico is located in Juarez, Mexico. ADAC-STRATTEC, LLC and STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC have operations in El Paso, Texas and Juarez and Leon, Mexico. Equity investments in Vehicle Access Systems Technology LLC (“VAST LLC”), for which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not variable interest entities of STRATTEC, are accounted for using the equity method. VAST LLC consists primarily of four wholly owned subsidiaries in China, one wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil and one joint venture entity in India. The results of the VAST LLC foreign subsidiaries and joint venture are reported on a one-month lag basis. We have only one reporting segment.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, which have been derived from our audited financial statements, and the related unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION 2022 Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2022.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

  In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China. The coronavirus subsequently spread, and infections occurred in multiple countries around the world, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the global spread of the disease, the severity of illnesses it causes and its effects on society. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, and in certain cases, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes or from participating in large group gatherings. Accordingly, the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as the recent conflict in the Ukraine, has severely restricted the level of economic activity in many countries, and continues to adversely impact global economic activity, including with respect to customer purchasing actions and supply chain continuity and disruption, and in particular the supply of semiconductor chips, transponders and related components to the automotive industry.

STRATTEC’s operating performance is subject to global economic conditions, inflationary pressures and levels of consumer spending specifically within the automotive industry and its operating performance has been impacted by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, all as described above. During the period from late March 2020 through mid-June 2020, the majority of our OEM customer assembly plant operations were completely closed including most of the supply chain. Additionally, during most of this same period, STRATTEC’s Mexico facilities were closed as a result of the Mexican government’s shutdown of non-essential businesses. Re-opening of our OEM customer facilities and our Mexico facilities began in June 2020, and the automotive industry continued to ramp-up throughout our fiscal year ended June 27, 2021. Nonetheless, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal 2021, our net sales were negatively impacted by a global semiconductor chip shortage (especially as it relates to the automotive industry), which shortage continued into our fiscal 2022. Although semiconductor chip availability improved during the first quarter of our fiscal 2023 relative to our fiscal 2022, negative impacts of the shortage continue to affect STRATTEC.

6


 

Additionally, inflationary pressures resulted in increased raw material and purchased part costs as well as increased wage rates in Mexico beginning in calendar 2021. Such increases negatively impacted our operating results in our fiscal 2022 and continued in the first quarter of our fiscal 2023.

 

Each of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Ukraine conflict and the resulting inflationary pressures in the U.S. and global economy continue to adversely impact our operating results due mostly to the supply chain continuity and disruption issues noted above, and in particular related to the supply of semiconductor chips, transponders and related components to our customers in the automotive industry.  The extent of such impacts, including related to their duration and intensity, depends upon any continued spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the length of the Ukraine conflict, and related regulatory or operating restraints, which may be precautionary, imposed by local governments and the private sector and by any continuing inflationary pressures in the U.S. and global economies. All of these events may continue to impact the supply chain and our operations, including impacting our customers, workforce and suppliers, any of which may continue to disrupt and limit sourcing of semiconductor chips, transponders and other critical supply chain components needed by us and our customers to meet expected production schedules.  Moreover, these events may continue to create added inflationary pressures on our operations, including related to wages and the prices of raw materials and purchased parts.  All of these foregoing matters, including their scope and duration are uncertain and cannot be predicted as to timing and cost impacts.  These changing conditions may also affect the estimates and assumptions made by our management in our financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, our long-lived asset valuations, equity investment valuation, assessment of our annual effective tax rate, valuation of deferred income taxes, assessment of excess and obsolete inventory reserves, and assessment of collectability of trade receivables.

 

 

New Accounting Standard

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial instruments – Credit Losses. This update revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, the update was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial instruments – Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, and Leases. This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of our fiscal 2024. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Subsequent Event

Subsequent to October 2, 2022, we received notice that a product we shipped failed to perform as the customer expected. While it is probable we will incur warranty costs related to this matter, it is not possible to reasonably estimate those costs based on limited information available, including uncertainty as to STRATTEC’s responsibility in the matter, as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. We have a warranty liability recorded related to our known and potential exposure to warranty claims in the event our products fail to perform as expected. As additional information related to this matter becomes available, we may need to record additional warranty provisions.

 

 

Derivative Instruments

We own and operate manufacturing operations in Mexico. As a result, a portion of our manufacturing costs are incurred in Mexican pesos, which causes our earnings and cash flows to fluctuate due to changes in the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate. We have contracts with Bank of Montreal that provide for monthly Mexican peso currency forward contracts for a portion of our estimated peso denominated operating costs. Our objective in entering into currency forward contracts from time to time is to minimize our earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. The Mexican peso forward contracts are not used for speculative purposes and are not designated as hedges. As a result, all currency forward contracts are recognized in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value and changes in the fair value are reported in current earnings as part of Other (Expense) Income, net.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings under our credit facilities approximated book value as of October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid for a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Investment in Joint Ventures and Majority Owned Subsidiaries

We participate in certain Alliance Agreements with WITTE Automotive (“WITTE”) and ADAC Automotive (“ADAC”). WITTE, of Velbert, Germany, is a privately held automotive supplier. WITTE designs, manufactures and markets automotive components, including locks and keys, hood latches, rear compartment latches, seat back latches, door handles and specialty fasteners. WITTE’s primary market for these products has been Europe. ADAC, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a privately held automotive supplier and manufactures engineered products, including door handles and other automotive trim parts, utilizing plastic injection molding, automated painting and various assembly processes.  

The Alliance Agreements include a set of cross-licensing agreements for the manufacture, distribution and sale of WITTE products by STRATTEC and ADAC in North America, and the manufacture, distribution and sale of STRATTEC and ADAC products by WITTE in Europe. Additionally, a joint venture company, Vehicle Access Systems Technology LLC (“VAST LLC”), in which WITTE, STRATTEC and ADAC each hold a one-third interest, exists to seek opportunities to manufacture and sell each company’s products in areas of the world outside of North America and Europe. As a result of these relationships, the entities involved purchase products from each other on an as needed basis to use as components in end products assembled and sold in their respective home markets. STRATTEC currently purchases such component parts from WITTE.

Leases

We have an operating lease for our El Paso, Texas finished goods and service parts distribution warehouse that has a current lease term through October 2023. This lease includes renewal terms that can extend the lease term for five additional years. For purposes of calculating operating lease obligations, we included the option to extend the lease as it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option. The lease does not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

As the lease does not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of our lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is an entity-specific rate which represents the rate of interest we would pay to borrow over a similar term with similar payments.

Credit Facilities

STRATTEC has a $40 million secured revolving credit facility (the “STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ADAC-STRATTEC LLC has a $25 million secured revolving credit facility (the “ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is guaranteed by STRATTEC. The credit facilities both expire August 1, 2024. Borrowings under either credit facility are secured by our U.S. cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets. Interest on borrowings under both credit facilities were at varying rates based, at our option, on LIBOR plus 1.25 percent or the bank’s prime rate. 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 October 2, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants required by these credit facilities.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, alleged breaches of contracts, product warranties, intellectual property matters and employment related matters. It is our opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to warranty matters, although we cannot ensure that future costs of warranty claims by customers will not be material, we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover potential warranty settlements.

In 1995, we recorded a provision for estimated costs to remediate an environmental contamination site at our Milwaukee facility. The facility was contaminated by a solvent spill, which occurred in 1985, from a former above ground solvent storage tank located on the east side of the facility. The reserve was originally established based on third party estimates to adequately cover the cost for active remediation of the contamination. Due to changing technology and related costs associated with active remediation of the contamination, in fiscal years 2010, 2016, and 2021, we obtained updated third party estimates of projected costs to adequately cover the cost for active remediation of this contamination and adjusted the reserve as needed. We monitor and evaluate the site with the use of groundwater monitoring wells. An environmental consultant samples these wells one or two times a year to determine the status of the contamination and the potential for remediation of the contamination by natural attenuation, the dissipation of the contamination over time to concentrations below applicable standards. If such sampling evidences a sufficient degree of and trend toward natural attenuation of the contamination at the site, we may be able to obtain a closure letter from the regulatory authorities resolving the issue without the need for active remediation. If a sufficient degree and trend toward natural attenuation is not evidenced by sampling, a more active form of remediation beyond natural attenuation may be required. The sampling has not yet satisfied all of the requirements for closure by natural attenuation. As a result, sampling continues and the reserve remains at an amount to reflect our estimated cost of active remediation. The reserve is not measured on a discounted basis. We believe, based on findings-to-date and known environmental regulations, that the environmental reserve of $1.4 million at October 2, 2022 is adequate.

Other (Expense) Income, net

Net other (expense) income included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss primarily included foreign currency transaction gains and losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on our Mexican peso currency forward contracts, net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, other than the service cost component, related to our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and postretirement plans and Rabbi Trust gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulted from activity associated with foreign denominated assets held by our Mexican subsidiaries. We entered into the Mexican Peso currency forward contracts described above to minimize earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. Unrealized gains and losses on the peso forward contracts recognized as a result of mark-to-market adjustments as of October 2, 2022 may or may not be realized in future periods, depending on the actual Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rates experienced during the balance of the contract period. The Rabbi Trust assets fund our Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The investments held in this Trust are considered trading securities.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 37.5% and 14.3% for the three months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively. The current year effective tax rate prior to a favorable discrete benefit related to stock-based compensation was 14.8%. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the application of the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) tax provisions, our available R&D tax credit and the non-controlling interest portion of our pre-tax income. The non-controlling interest portion impacts the effective tax rate as ADAC-STRATTEC LLC and STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC entities are taxed as partnerships for U.S. tax purposes.

 

 

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the applicable period using the treasury stock method. Potential dilutive common shares include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards.

A reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted per-share computations follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock-based Compensation

We maintain an omnibus stock incentive plan. This plan provides for the granting of stock options, shares of restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. As of October 2, 2022, the Board of Directors had designated 2 million shares of common stock available for the grant of awards under the plan. Remaining shares available to be granted under the plan as of October 2, 2022 were 129,884. Awards that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares become available for re-issuance under the plan. We issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

Nonqualified and incentive stock options and shares of restricted stock have been granted to our officers, outside directors and specified associates under our stock incentive plan. Stock options granted under the plan may not be issued with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Stock options become exercisable as determined at the date of grant by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The options expire 10 years after the grant date unless an earlier expiration date is set at the time of grant. The options vest 1 to 4 years after the date of grant as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares of restricted stock granted under the plan are subject to vesting criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time the shares are granted and have a minimum vesting period of one year from the date of grant. Unvested restricted shares granted have voting rights, regardless of whether the shares are vested or unvested, but only have the right to receive cash dividends after such shares become vested. Restricted stock grants vest 1 to 3 years after the date of grant as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of each restricted stock grant was based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. The resulting compensation cost for fixed awards with graded vesting schedules is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award.

As of October 2, 2022, all compensation cost related to outstanding stock options granted under our omnibus stock incentive plan has been recognized. As of October 2, 2022, there was approximately $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants outstanding under the plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.1 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures of awards granted under our omnibus stock incentive plan.

 

 

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

We have a noncontributory Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which is a nonqualified defined benefit plan. The SERP is funded through a Rabbi Trust with TMI Trust Company. Under the SERP, as amended December 31, 2013, participants received an accrued lump-sum benefit as of December 31, 2013, which was credited to each participant’s account. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, each eligible participant receives a supplemental retirement benefit equal to the foregoing lump sum benefit, plus an annual benefit accrual equal to 8 percent of the participant’s base salary and cash bonus, plus annual credited interest on the participant’s account balance. All then current participants as of December 31, 2013 are fully vested in their account balances with any new individuals participating in the SERP effective on or after January 1, 2014 being subject to a five year vesting period. The SERP, which is considered a nonqualified defined benefit plan under applicable rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Code, will continue to be funded through use of a Rabbi Trust to hold investment assets to be used in part to fund any future required lump sum benefit payments to participants. The Rabbi Trust assets had a value of $2.9 million at October 2, 2022 and $3.3 million at July 3, 2022. At both October 2, 2022 and July 3, 2022, $863,000 of the Rabbi Trust asset balance was included in Other Current Assets and the remaining balance was included in Other Long-Term Assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for all U.S. associates hired prior to June 1, 2001. The expected cost of retiree health care benefits is recognized during the years the associates who are covered under the plan render service. Effective January 1, 2010, an amendment to the postretirement health care plan limited the benefit for future eligible retirees to $4,000 per plan year and the benefit is further subject to a maximum five year coverage period based on the associate’s retirement date and age. The postretirement health care plan is unfunded.

Item 2

STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and its 2022 Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2022. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to quarters and years refer to fiscal quarters and fiscal years.

Outlook

Refer to discussion of Risks and Uncertainties included in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 6 of this Form 10-Q.

 

Starting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 2020, the automotive industry has experienced significant volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in periods of shutdowns as well as a subsequent demand-led production recovery. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we were impacted by supply chain shortages in the automotive supply chain of critical electronic component parts, primarily semiconductor chips, and certain raw materials which impacted the production schedules for our customers and, therefore, our production levels. These shortages continued throughout our fiscal 2022, which resulted in some of our customers temporarily closing several of their assembly plants or reducing their production schedules in North America.

 

While supply chain shortages improved in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 relative to the prior year quarter, they continued to constrain a return to production levels commensurate with the existing consumer demand in the market, resulting in a continuation of low dealer inventories in North America. The sales outlook from our customers over the next few quarters continues to project growth as we expect our customers to seek to restock dealer inventories. However, this stronger sales outlook is contingent on both the improvement of the supply chain part shortages referenced above, which continue to be at risk of negative impact by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any potential worsening of the North American and overall global economy due to higher inflation and interest rates and the economic implications from the conflict in the Ukraine and other international political unrest.

Overall, the quarter-over-quarter sales increase was due to improved global semiconductor chip availability in the current year quarter relative to the prior year quarter. The following items specifically impacted sales to the above noted customer groups between quarters:

 

-

Sales to General Motors Company, Ford Motor Company and Stellantis were positively impacted in the current year quarter due to higher vehicle production volumes resulting from improved global semiconductor chip availability relative to the prior year quarter.  Specifically, sales growth to General Motors Company and Ford Motor Company in the current

18


 

 

year quarter was attributed to higher production volumes of the GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado and Ford F-150 family of pickup trucks for which we supply a wide range of components.  

 

-

Sales to Tier 1 Customers improved in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to higher vehicle production volumes relating to the semiconductor chip availability referenced above.

 

-

Sales to Commercial and Other OEM Customers, which are comprised of aftermarket products and vehicle access control products, such as latches, fobs, driver controls and door handles, declined in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter due to continued semiconductor chip availability issues for aftermarket keys.  The increases in availability of semiconductor chips were allocated toward the production of components for production vehicles ahead of aftermarket products and therefore, sales to aftermarket customers continued to be negatively impacted in the current year quarter by the global semiconductor chip shortage.

 

-

Sales to Hyundai / Kia decreased quarter-over-quarter due to lower levels of production of the Kia Carnival, for which we supply components, in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.

The direct material cost increase between quarters was due to increased sales volumes between quarters, as discussed above, higher costs for raw material and purchased components in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, and a change in product mix between quarters. The current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter included reduced services sales and increased latch sales, which service products have lower purchased material content and latch products have higher purchased material contents in comparison to our other products. Additionally, our increased sales dollars between quarters outpaced our increased labor and overhead costs between quarters, as discussed below. This, along with the product mix change and higher costs for raw material and purchased components in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, resulted in an increase in our direct material costs as a percentage of cost of goods sold between quarters and a decrease in our labor and overhead costs as a percentage of cost of goods sold between quarters.

 

Labor and overhead costs increased $3.8 million between quarters. The variable portion of our labor and overhead costs increased in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter as a result of the production volume increase between quarters to support the increased sales volumes. This impact was partially offset by production efficiencies that controlled headcount and overtime costs at our Milwaukee and Mexico facilities. Labor and overhead costs were further impacted by the following:

Cost Increase:

 

-

Mexico wages and benefits increased $1.4 million in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter as a result of a January 1, 2022 government mandated minimum wage increase.

Cost Decreases:

 

-

Royalty costs paid on sales of certain aftermarket products decreased $450,000 in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter due to lower volumes stemming from the current semiconductor chip shortage.

 

-

Prior year quarter costs included lump sum bonuses totaling $100,000 paid to our Milwaukee represented hourly workers upon the ratification of a new four-year labor contract, which contract is effective through November 1, 2025.

Gross profit dollars in the current year quarter were consistent with the prior year quarter as the increase in sales between quarters was offset by an increase in cost of goods sold between quarters, as discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased between quarterly periods. The decrease was the result of higher costs for direct materials and purchased parts, a product mix change involving service products and latch products that reduced margins between quarters, and increases in Mexico wages resulting from a January 1, 2022 government mandated minimum wage increase. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by production efficiencies at our Milwaukee and Mexico facilities, a reduction in royalty costs and the impact of prior year quarter bonuses paid for the ratification of a new labor contract, all as discussed above.

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the current year quarter and prior year quarter were as follows:

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the current year quarter increased in comparison to the prior year quarter due to higher outside expenditures on new product development costs associated with utilizing third party vendors for a portion of our development work as well as an increase in engineering costs related to our ADAC-STRATTEC LLC door handle and exterior trim products. These expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales due to the increase in sales between quarters as previously discussed.

Loss from operations was $204,000 in the current year quarter compared to income from operations of $428,000 in the prior year quarter due to consistent gross profit margin dollars with an increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses between quarters, all as discussed above.

The equity earnings of joint ventures was $527,000 in the current year quarter compared to equity loss of joint ventures of $251,000 in the prior year quarter. Improved profitability from our VAST LLC joint venture resulted from increased net sales and increased profitability in VAST China’s operations between quarters. VAST China’s profitability in the prior year quarter was negatively impacted by the current global semiconductor chip shortage described above. We currently believe a presence in the China market is a key component of our global strategy. We anticipate that it will contribute to our overall long-term market and financial strength as the China market continues to expand and as it seeks to rebound from the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain shortages of critical electronic component parts. Due to our limited amount of business in both India and Brazil as well as the impact of COVID-19 and the global semiconductor chip shortage described above, our VAST LLC joint venture in India continues to have break-even operating results and our VAST LLC joint venture in Brazil continues to report losses.

Foreign currency transaction losses and gains resulted from activity associated with foreign denominated assets held by our Mexican subsidiaries.

 

-

The Rabbi Trust assets fund our amended and restated supplemental executive retirement plan. The investments held in the Trust are considered trading securities.

 

-

We entered into the Mexican peso currency forward contracts during fiscal 2023 and 2022 to minimize earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. Unrealized gains and losses on the peso forward contracts recognized as a result of mark-to-market adjustments as of October 2, 2022 may or may not be realized in future periods, depending on actual Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rates experienced during the balance of the contract period.

 

-

Pension and postretirement plan costs include the components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component.

 

Our effective tax rate was 37.5% and 14.3% for the three months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively. The current year effective tax rate prior to a favorable discrete benefit related to stock-based compensation was 14.8%. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the application of the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) tax provisions, our available R&D tax credit and the non-controlling interest portion of our pre-tax income. The non-controlling interest portion impacts the effective tax rate as ADAC-STRATTEC LLC and STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC entities are taxed as partnerships for U.S. tax purposes.

Set forth below is a summary of the items impacting the change in our working capital requirements between year to date periods:

 

-

The change in accounts receivable balances reflected a decrease in such balances in the prior year quarter. This prior year decrease was the result of reduced sales in the prior year quarter stemming from the global semiconductor chip shortage.

 

-

The change in inventory levels reflected a decrease in inventory balances during the current year quarter and an increase in inventory balances during the prior year quarter. The current year quarter decrease was due to a reduction in finished goods inventory to align with historical customer production patterns. The prior year quarter increase was due to an inventory build-up during our fiscal 2022 first quarter while our OEM customers experienced assembly plant shut-downs and reduced production schedules due to certain part shortages, including semiconductor chips.

 

-

The change in other assets in both the current year quarter and the prior year quarter is primarily the result of the change in customer tooling balances. Customer tooling balance changes result from the timing of tooling development spending required to meet customer production requirements and the timing of related customer billings for tooling cost reimbursement.

21


 

 

-

The change in accounts payable and accrued liability balances was due to a decrease in the balances in the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter decrease resulted from the payment of fiscal 2021 accrued bonuses during August 2021, which payment totaled $6.6 million, and an increase in accounts payable balances during the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter accounts payable balance increase was due to accounts payable balances being significantly reduced as of June 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 and lower production levels stemming from that impact. Accounts payable balances increased during our fiscal 2021 first quarter as our business ramped-up to support increased OEM production schedules as customer plants reopened. Accounts payable balances for each quarter reflected the timing of purchases and payments with our vendors based on normal, established payment terms.

Net cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures made in support of requirements for new product programs and the upgrade and replacement of existing equipment of $4.7 million during the current year quarter and $2.8 million during the prior year quarter.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the current year quarter of $1.5 million included increased borrowings under our credit facilities of $5.0 million and $126,000 received for the exercise of stock options under our stock incentive plan and purchases under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $3.0 million of repayments of borrowings under our credit facilities and $600,000 of dividend payments to non-controlling interests in our subsidiaries. Net cash provided by financing activities during the prior year quarter of $5.0 million included increased borrowings under our credit facilities of $7.0 million and $619,000 received for the exercise of stock options under our stock incentive plan and purchases under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $2.0 million of repayments of borrowings under our credit facilities and $600,000 of dividend payments to non-controlling interests in our subsidiaries.

VAST LLC Cash Requirements

We currently anticipate that VAST China has adequate debt facilities in place over the remainder of our 2023 fiscal year to cover the future operating and capital requirements of its business. During the three month periods ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, no capital contributions were made to VAST LLC by any of the members. Due to economic conditions in Brazil, we anticipate Sistema de Acesso Veicular Ltda may require an additional capital contribution of approximately $300,000 collectively by all VAST LLC partners to fund operations during our fiscal year 2023. STRATTEC’s portion of these capital contributions is anticipated to be $100,000. During the three months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, VAST LLC made no capital contributions to Minda-VAST Access Systems. We currently anticipate no required future capital contributions to Minda-VAST Access Systems over the remainder of our 2023 fiscal year.

Future Capital Expenditures

We anticipate capital expenditures will be approximately $13.0 million in total in fiscal 2023, of which $4.7 million has been made through October 2, 2022, in support of requirements for new product programs and the upgrade and replacement of existing equipment.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program to buy back outstanding shares of our common stock. Shares authorized for buy back under the program totaled 3,839,395 at October 2, 2022. A total of 3,655,322 shares have been repurchased over the life of the program through October 2, 2022, at a cost of approximately $136.4 million. No shares were repurchased during the three month periods ended October 2, 2022 or September 26, 2021. Additional repurchases may occur from time to time and are expected to continue to be funded by cash flow from operations and current cash balances. Based on the current economic environment and our preference to conserve cash for other uses, we anticipate modest or no stock repurchase activity for the remainder of fiscal year 2023.

Credit Facilities

STRATTEC has a $40 million secured revolving credit facility (the “STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ADAC-STRATTEC LLC has a $25 million secured revolving credit facility (the “ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is guaranteed by STRATTEC. The credit facilities both expire August 1, 2024. Borrowings under either credit facility are secured by our U.S. cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets located in the U.S. Interest on borrowings under both credit facilities were at varying rates based, at our option, on the LIBOR plus 1.25 percent or the bank’s prime rate. 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 October 2, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants required by these credit facilities. Outstanding borrowings under the STRATTEC Credit Facility totaled $1 million at October 2, 2022. There were no outstanding borrowings under the STRATTEC Credit Facility at July 3, 2022. The average outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rate on the STRATTEC Credit Facility loans were approximately $3.0 million and 3.8 percent, respectively, during the three months ended October 2, 2022. Outstanding borrowings under the ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility totaled $12 million at October 2, 2022 and $11 million at July 3, 2022. The average outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rate on the ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility loans were approximately $11.4 million and 3.5 percent, respectively, during the three months ended October 2, 2022.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching a level of reasonable assurance. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
