Wisconsin-based locking system manufacturer Strattec Security Corp. reported US$ 108.4 million in net sales during fiscal fourth quarter and year ending July 2, 2017. The result was flat, if compared to the US$ 108.3 million from fourth fiscal year of 2016.
Net income was US$ 1.8 million in fourth fiscal quarter, more than triple if compared to US$ 584,000 in the prior year quarter.
Gross profit margins were 13.5% in the current year quarter compared to 14.0% in the prior year quarter. The slight decrease in gross profit margin in part attributed to startup costs associated with the new Leon, Mexico facility, said the company in its report.Â
