Equity Method Investments And Joint Ventures [Abstract]

EQUITY EARNINGS OF JOINT VENTURES

As discussed above under the note Investment in Joint Ventures and Majority Owned Subsidiaries, we hold a one-third ownership interest in VAST LLC, for which we exercise significant influence but do not control and VAST LLC is not a variable interest entity of STRATTEC. Our investment in VAST LLC is accounted for using the equity method. The results of the VAST LLC foreign subsidiaries and joint venture are reported on a one-month lag basis.

During the quarter ended March 27, 2022, VAST China experienced a fire at their Taicang facility. As a result, certain door handle and painting operations were subsequently transferred to their new Jingzhou facility and to another supplier. The transfer of production negatively impacted VAST China’s profitability for the six month period ended July 3, 2022.

The following are summarized statements of operations and summarized balance sheet data for VAST LLC (thousands of dollars):
