Strattec Expands Gross Margin in Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter
fiscal 2025 gross margin was 15.0%, a 280 basis point improvement year-over-year
on sales of $565.1 million
for the full year
MILWAUKEE, WI, August 14, 2025 – Strattec Security Corporation (Nasdaq: STRT) (“Company” or “Strattec”), a leading provider of smart vehicle access, security and authorization solutions for the global automotive industry, reported financial results for its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ended June 29, 2025.
Jennifer Slater, President and CEO of Strattec, said, “Fiscal 2025 has been a year of significant change and advancement for Strattec. We delivered measurably improved results with stronger margins and cash flow. We executed over $8 million in new annualized pricing, restructured our operations to take out $5 million in costs and drove significant improvement in our working capital velocity and cash flow focus. We also initiated actions to mitigate the impact of incremental tariffs, which are now estimated to be a
$5 million to $7 million increase in costs prior to mitigation efforts. This first year as CEO of Strattec has been very busy and challenging, but the advancements we are making are the result of the dedication and contribution of every member of the team. While still early in our business transformation, I am encouraged by the progress we have made over the last twelve months.”
“Looking forward, we are excited about our longer-term future but recognize in the near term we face market uncertainty. North American automotive production estimates have recently been revised downward, coupled with a lull in the launch cycle of new vehicles by our key customers. In the near term, we will continue to stabilize our business operations, deepen and expand our customer relationships, enhance our product roadmaps and improve our competitive position, as we transform Strattec to be a more dynamic and innovative enterprise,” she concluded.
