Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 9, 2026
- As new customer programs ramp, we expect that concentration of our top three customers to decrease overtime.
- Net sales to our largest customers may vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the size and timing of customer program commencement, forecasts, delays, and design modifications.
- While management expects continued global economic uncertainty and ongoing volatility related to trade policies, the Company is increasingly encouraged by improving demand trends and growth in its production backlog, which reflect customers' adaptation to the current operating environment.
- We expect this will allow us to mitigate tariff implications and optimize pricing for our customers.
- We believe we maintain sufficient liquidity for our expected future operations and as of September 26, 2026, had $79.2 million in borrowings under our asset-based revolving credit facility with $14.4 million remaining available (further limited by the availability block in the loan agreement) and $1.6 million of cash on hand.
- The provisions are established for inventory that we have determined customers are not contractually responsible for and also inventory that we believe customers will be unable to purchase.
- We expect backlog to increase in the coming periods due to recent sizable program wins.
- We purchase inventory based on customer forecasts and orders, and when those forecasts and orders change, the amount of inventory may also fluctuate.
- Capital expenditures and periodic lease payments are expected to be financed with internally generated funds as well as our revolving line of credit facility and equipment term loans.
- We have accrued withholding taxes for expected future repatriation of foreign earnings as discussed in Note 5 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
- This could result in manufacturing delays to our existing or expected demand, or an inability to meet obligations as they become due.
- Unfavorable economic conditions could also affect the demand for our customers’ products by triggering a reduction or delaying orders as well as a decline in forecasts which could adversely affect our sales in future periods.
