Q4 FY26 earnings call · Aug 26, 2026
Q4 FY26

TL;DR. Stratec posted fiscal 2026 revenue of $579.4 million with full-year gross margin expanding 150 bps to 16.5%, but guided to a softer fiscal 2027 with North American production down about 2% and top-three customers down about 6%, pressuring margins against foreign-exchange headwinds, while initiating a new $40 million share repurchase authorization.

Bullish
  • + Full-year adjusted EBITDA rose 15.3% to $50.5 million and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 100 bps to 8.7%
  • + Generated $46.3 million of operating cash flow and ended the year with $108.2 million in cash and no debt
  • + Board authorized a new $40 million share repurchase program; $7.4 million was repurchased in Q4 under the prior authorization
  • + Cumulative restructuring actions since fiscal 2025 have delivered $9.5 million of savings, with automation and pricing initiatives continuing
Bearish
  • Fiscal 2027 outlook calls for North American production down ~2% and top-three customers down ~6%, pressuring sales
  • Q4 gross margin contracted 110 bps to 15.6% on FX, lower tooling gains and higher cost of quality
  • SAE expense ratio rose to 11.9% of sales for the year (from 10.9%) on transformation and investment spend, with management flagging near-term run-rate above the 10–11% target
