KEY TRONIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS

FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2013

Maintaining Strong Operating Efficiencies; Strengthening Balance Sheet;

Continued New Customer Wins and Revenue Diversification

Spokane Valley, WA— April 30, 2013 — Key Tronic Corporation (Nasdaq: KTCC), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its results for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013.

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, Key Tronic reported total revenue of $84.3 million, compared to $95.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 2012. For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, total revenue was $276.4 million, up 11% from $249.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $2.9 million or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million or $0.32 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal year 2012. For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net income was $10.2 million or $0.94 per diluted share, up 30% from $7.8 million or $0.74 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal 2012.

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, gross margin was 9% and operating margin was 4%, compared to 9% and 5%, respectively, in the same period of fiscal year 2012.

“After strong year-over-year growth in the first half of fiscal 2013, our revenue in the third quarter was primarily impacted by the anticipated and previously disclosed slowdown from the large customer that began to reduce production levels in the second quarter,” said Craig Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although we saw a continued ramp up of our new programs in the third quarter, those increases did not yet offset the decreased demand from this one customer. At the same time, we maintained strong operating efficiencies and further strengthened our balance sheet. Over the last year we, paid off over $16.0 million of bank debt, bringing the debt balance to zero, and increased our cash balance by nearly $3.0 million.

“We continue to see a robust pipeline of potential new business and have further diversified our future revenue base during the third quarter by winning new customer programs involving RFID, industrial power, LED lighting and commercial washroom equipment. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we were generating revenue from 177 separate programs and had 56 distinct customers, up from 155 programs and 42 customers a year ago. While we expect our fourth quarter results to be similar to the third quarter, we currently anticipate renewed sequential growth during the coming fiscal year.”

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $83 million to $87 million, and earnings in the range of $0.21 to $0.27 per diluted share. The expected earnings range assumes an effective tax rate of 32%.
