Kimball Electronics reports Q1 EPS 43c, consensus 43c

Reports Q1 revenue $438.081M, consensus $452.2M. Richard Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am very pleased with our results for the first quarter, particularly in light of the current macro environment. Q1 was a strong start to the fiscal year with record first quarter sales and operating income, year-over-year margin expansion, and 13% growth in net income. While these results were in-line with our expectations, we have been evaluating the impact of recent short-term market disruptions, including the UAW strike, global economic conditions, and geopolitical events, and have updated our guidance for the full year of fiscal 2024 to reflect softening demand in the end market verticals we serve.”
