Gable Vice President and Chief Financial Officer EX-99.1 CHARTER 3 exhibit0704991.txt 8-K FIRST QUARTER FY 05 1 Greenville, South Carolina (July 19, 2004) - KEMET Corporation NYSE:KEM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Net sales for the quarter were $122.4 million and net income before special charges was $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Comparisons to prior periods are as follows:
Quarter Ended - --------------- Jun 2004 Mar 2004 Jun 2003 - -------- - -------- - -------- (In Millions, Except Per Share Data) Net Sales $ 122.4 $ 117.1 $ 105.4 Before special charges (non-GAAP) Net income (loss) 0.7 (2.1) (3.6) Net income (loss) per diluted share 0.01 (0.02) (0.04) Special after-tax charges (2.6) (50.0) - Special after-tax charges per diluted share (0.03) (0.58) - After special charges (GAAP) Net income (loss) (1.9) (52.1) (3.6) Net income (loss) per diluted share $ (0.02) $ (0.60) $ (0.04)
"Reflecting the continuing improvement in the electronics industry, June 2004 quarter net sales increased 16% and total unit shipments increased 54% compared to the June 2003 quarter," stated Dr. Jeffrey Graves, Chief Executive Officer. "KEMET's capacity utilization is approximately 82%, and we believe industry wide capacity utilization is higher. Mix adjusted average selling prices were basically flat in the June 2004 quarter. "KEMET's net sales were up 4.5% and total unit shipments were up 2.5% sequentially in the June 2004 quarter. The strongest growth was in Asia and Europe, especially in distribution in those markets. Our expectation in the coming quarter is that, based on the assumption of continued economic growth, unit shipment growth will continue in line with recent quarters and pricing will be consistent with the June quarter. 2 "Currently, 90% of our production workforce is in low cost locations in the world. We now estimate that virtually all of our commodity production should be in low cost regions by mid 2005. With a strong innovation pipeline, an experienced management team, and a strong balance sheet, I remain confident in KEMET's future." As of June 30, 2004, KEMET had $253 million in cash and short and long-term investments in marketable securities, $100 million in long- term debt, and $683 million in stockholders' equity.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Current global economic conditions make it particularly difficult at present to predict product demand and other related matters. Sales of surface-mount capacitors were 81%, and sales of leaded parts were 19% of total sales for the June 2004 quarter. By region, 45% percent of total sales for the June 2004 quarter were to customers in North America, 31% were to Asia, 23% were to Europe, and 1% to the rest of the world. By channel, 56% percent of total sales for the June 2004 quarter were to distribution customers, 23% were to Electronic Manufacturing Services customers, and 21% were to Original Equipment Manufacturing customers. Average selling prices for the June 2004 quarter, adjusted for changes in product mix, were basically flat compared to average selling prices for the March 2004 quarter. 3 On July 2, 2003, KEMET announced the reorganization of its operations around the world resulting in the location of virtually all of commodity production in low cost regions to be completed by mid 2005. KEMET estimates it will incur special charges of approximately $35 million over the period of the reorganization related to movement of manufacturing operations. When the reorganization is complete, the company estimates this will yield an approximate one-year payback based on unit volumes at the time of the announcement, and a $50-60 million savings with volume recovery by fiscal 2006 if unit growth continues as it has in recent quarters. Various parts of KEMET's announced move of production have occurred in accordance with the anticipated time line. Charges related to movement of manufacturing operations in the June 2004, March 2004, December 2003, and September 2003 quarters were $3 million, $3 million, $10 million and $12 million, respectively. The balance of the $35 million is expected to be realized ratably over the next five quarters. The timing of the special charges is dependent on the timing of operational decisions, some of which have not been finalized, and on operational activities yet to occur. Summary of special charges in the June 2004 quarter:
(In Millions) Manufacturing relocation $ 2.6 Income tax benefit - - -------------- Special charges net of taxes $ 2.6 ==============
4 For fiscal 2005, KEMET anticipates maintaining our investments in key customer relationships through our direct sales and customer service professionals, as well as our investments in research and development, to maintain our competitive position in the capacitor industry.

5 Cash and long and short-term investments in marketable securities during the June 2004 quarter decreased $18 million to $253 million from $271 million at March 31, 2004. Approximately $11 of this is related to increases in inventory, and most of the rest is related to capital expenditures during the quarter. There was a $2.3 million charge, reported in other (income) expense related to marking an interest rate swap contract to market, reflecting recent increases in interest rates.
