Summary · why it matters

Kimball Electronics reported fourth-quarter net sales of $371.6 million, a 5% sequential increase, and issued fiscal 2027 guidance calling for net sales of $1.535 billion to $1.56 billion, a 7% to 9% increase over fiscal 2026. That guidance splits into 3% to 5% organic growth and roughly $60 million in sales from the newly acquired Helvoet Polymer Technologies business, with Medical expected to grow at a strong single-digit to modest double-digit pace and supply upward of a third of total sales. The outlook follows a full fiscal year in which net sales fell 4% to $1.431 billion, with automotive, still the largest vertical at 46% of quarterly sales, down 7% for the year. Cash generation was the bright spot: $42.4 million in quarterly operating cash flow, a tenth straight positive quarter, total debt down to $116.6 million, the lowest in more than four years, and Cash Conversion Days of 82, the best in 17 quarters. Adjusted operating income margin was 4.9% for the quarter versus 5.2% a year earlier, adjusted diluted earnings per share swung to a loss of $0.01 from positive $0.34, and fiscal 2027 margin guidance of 4.4% to 4.7% is flat to lower than fiscal 2026's 4.6% even as capital expenditures are planned at $50 million to $60 million.
