Our bookings remained solid, and our EV activity rebounded from our previous quarter.”

Segment Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Comparing the Automotive segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2024,
- Net sales were
$134.8 million , down from$158.3 million . Net sales decreased by$23.5 million or14.8% mainly due to lower volume in Asia. In Asia, the lower sales were mainly related to a previously disclosed EV lighting program roll-off. The lower sales were partially offset by higher volume in Europe driven by program ramp ups. Also contributing to the net sales decline was unfavorable foreign currency translation of$0.9 million . - Loss from operations was
$5.7 million , or4.2% of net sales, compared to$2.8 million or1.8% of net sales in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the lower sales volume. The loss was also driven by higher costs due to automotive program launches.
Comparing the Industrial segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2024,
- Net sales were
$111.5 million , down from$115.4 million . Net sales decreased by$3.9 million or3.4% driven mainly by lower demand for lighting products in the commercial vehicle and off-road equipment markets, which was partially offset by higher sales of power distribution products for electric vehicles and data centers. Also contributing to the net sales decline was unfavorable foreign currency translation of$0.7 million . - Income from operations was
$16.9 million , down from$24.2 million . Income from operations was15.2% of net sales, down from21.0% primarily due to legal fees related to Hetronic litigation with a former distributor and the lower net sales.
Comparing the Interface segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2024,
- Net sales were
$12.2 million , down from$15.2 million . The decrease was mainly due to lower volume of touch panels for appliances and transceivers for servers. - Income from operations was
$1.9 million , down from$2.9 million . Income from operations was15.6% of net sales, down from19.1% . Both decreases were mainly due to lower sales volume.
Guidance
For fiscal 2025, the company affirmed its expectation for net sales to be similar to fiscal 2024 and adjusted pre-tax income to be approaching breakeven. The company reiterated that adjusted pre-tax income for the second half of fiscal 2025 is expected to be significantly stronger than the first half. For fiscal 2026, the company affirmed its expectation for net sales to be greater than fiscal 2025 and pre-tax income to be positive and notably greater than fiscal 2025.
The guidance is subject to change due to a variety of factors including the successful launch of multiple new programs, the ultimate take rates on new EV programs, success and timing of cost recovery actions, inflation, global economic instability, supply chain disruptions, transformation and restructuring efforts, potential impairments and any acquisitions or divestitures.
