    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Methode Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:MEI), a leading global supplier of custom-engineered solutions for power distribution, user interface, lighting, and sensor applications, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended May 2, 2026.

    "Fiscal 2026 marked a year of meaningful progress in Methode’s transformation as we continued to execute on the commitments we made to our employees, customers, and shareholders," said Jon DeGaynor, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Despite a challenging operating environment, we improved profitability, generated positive free cash flow, strengthened our balance sheet, simplified our portfolio, and continued investing in our people and capabilities. The actions we have taken over the last two years to strengthen operational discipline, upgrade talent, and optimize our portfolio are delivering results and enhancing the company's long-term earnings power. We are also increasing our exposure to attractive growth opportunities in data centers, vehicle electrification, and other power solutions markets where our engineering expertise provides a meaningful competitive advantage.

    Mr. DeGaynor continued, "As we enter fiscal 2027, our priorities remain clear: deliver for our customers, continue improving operational performance, maintain disciplined capital allocation, and create long-term shareholder value. We believe Methode enters the year with a more focused portfolio, a stronger operating model, deeper customer relationships, and growing participation in attractive industrial growth markets, including data center power infrastructure. As a result, we are increasingly well positioned to drive sustainable profitable growth, margin expansion, and cash generation over the long term."

    Consolidated Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2026 Financial Results

    Methode's net sales were $298.1 million, compared to $257.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by Automotive segment customer recoveries, higher Industrial segment volume and mix and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by lower Interface segment sales due to program roll-offs and the impact of the sale of the dataMate business.

    Gross profit was $72.2 million, up from $19.6 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting customer recoveries in the Automotive segment and operational efficiencies in the Automotive and Industrial segments.

    Income from operations was $10.9 million, compared to a loss from operations of $23.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $15.6 million, compared to an adjusted loss from operations of $21.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025.

    Income tax expense was $12.3 million, compared to a benefit of $2.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $4.8 million higher tax expense associated with non-deductible items and $3.4 million related to additional foreign taxes in fiscal 2026, absent a non-recurring benefit recorded in fiscal 2025 related to unrecognized tax benefits of $3.9 million due to lapsing of statutes of limitations.  

     

    Net income was $0.4 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $28.3 million or $0.80 per diluted share in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $10.4 million or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted loss of $27.4 million or $0.77 per diluted share in the same quarter of fiscal 2025.

    EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization of Intangibles), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $33.3 million or 11.2% of net sales, compared to a loss of $8.9 million or 3.5% of net sales in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $26.9 million, or 9.0% of net sales, compared to a loss of $7.1 million, or 2.8% of net sales, in the same quarter of fiscal 2025.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million, compared to $35.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant, and equipment, was an outflow of $0.9 million, compared to an inflow of $26.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025.

    Segment Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2026 Financial Results

    Comparing the Automotive segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2025:

    • Net sales were $144.9 million, up from $112.9 million. Net sales increased $32.0 million or 28.3% largely due to customer recoveries. Foreign exchange increased net sales by $5.2 million.
    • Income from operations was $6.0 million, or 4.1% of Automotive segment net sales, compared to a loss of $33.7 million in the prior year. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to customer recoveries and improved operating performance.

    Comparing the Industrial segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2025:

    • Net sales were $151.4 million, up from $132.6 million. Net sales increased $18.8 million or 14.2%, due to higher sales volumes for lighting products for off-road equipment markets and power products, partially offset by lower sales volumes for lighting products for commercial vehicles. Foreign currency translation increased net sales by $6.1 million.
    • Income from operations was $33.6 million, or 22.2% of Industrial segment net sales, compared to $26.2 million. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes and mix, improved operating performance, and foreign exchange.

    Comparing the Interface segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2025:

    • Net sales were $1.8 million, down from $11.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes of touch panels for appliances following the completion of a major customer program, as well as the sale of the dataMate business during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
    • Loss from operations was $0.4 million, or 22.2% of Interface segment net sales, compared to income from operations of $1.5 million.

      The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes and product mix.

    Consolidated Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

    Net sales in fiscal 2026 were $1,019.2 million, compared to $1,048.1 million in fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by program roll-offs in the Automotive segment and portfolio refinements in the Interface segment, as well as one fewer week in the fiscal year, partially offset by customer recoveries in the Automotive segment and higher sales in the Industrial segment. Foreign exchange had a favorable impact on net sales of $36.3 million.

    Gross profit was $202.2 million, up from $163.4 million in fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting customer recoveries in the Automotive segment, operational efficiencies in the Automotive and Industrial segments, and Industrial segment product mix.

    Income from operations was $8.8 million, compared to a loss of $23.9 million in fiscal 2025. Adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $16.6 million, as compared to a loss of $12.5 million in fiscal 2025.

    Income tax expense was $25.0 million, compared to $12.5 million in fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $4.8 million higher tax expense associated with non-deductible items and $3.4 million related to additional foreign taxes in fiscal 2026, absent a non-recurring benefit recorded in fiscal 2025 related to unrecognized tax benefits of $3.9 million due to lapsing of statutes of limitations. 

    Net loss was $35.7 million or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $62.6 million or $1.77 per diluted share in fiscal 2025. Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $37.5 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $39.7 million or $1.12 per diluted share in fiscal 2025.

    EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization of Intangibles), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $71.4 million, or 7.0% of net sales, compared to $30.4 million or 2.9% of net sales, in fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $68.2 million, compared to $42.5 million in fiscal 2025.

    Debt totaled $325.0 million at the end of fiscal 2026, up from $317.6 million at the end of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by foreign currency translation. Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $185.4 million, down from $214.0 million at fiscal year-end 2025.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.0 million, compared to $26.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was an inflow of $15.6 million, compared to an outflow of $15.2 million in fiscal 2025.



    Guidance

    Methode enters fiscal 2027 from a position of increasing strength. As the Company builds on a stronger operating foundation, management expects profitable growth in fiscal 2027, with profitability improving at a faster rate than revenue as operational improvements, cost actions, and business mix benefits continue to take hold. The Company's fiscal 2027 guidance reflects its current expectations based on available market information, including third-party industry forecasts, customer demand projections, current U.S. tariff policies, and bank forecast currency.

    For fiscal 2027, the Company expects net sales to be in the range of $1,025 million to $1,075 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $72 million to $82 million. The company expects free cash flow to be comparable to FY 2026.

    Fiscal 2027$ Millions
    Net sales$1,025-1,075
    Interest expense$20-22
    Tax expense$24-26
    D&A$58-62
    Adjusted EBITDA$72-82
    Capital expenditures$25-30



    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. In reliance on the safe harbor provided under Section 10(e) of Regulation S-K, the company has not quantitatively reconciled from net income/loss (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDA presented in the fiscal 2027 guidance as the company is unable to quantify certain amounts included in net income due to the inherent uncertainty regarding such variables which may be significant.

    Conference Call

    The company will conduct a conference call and webcast tomorrow, June 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time to review financial and operational highlights led by its President and Chief Executive Officer, Jon DeGaynor, and Chief Financial Officer, Laura Kowalchik.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement the company's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Methode uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share, Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (Loss), Adjusted Income (Loss) from Operations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
