The risks most specific to Strattec Security
- Business Risks
Loss of Significant Customers, Vehicle Content, Vehicle Models and Market Share
General Motors, Ford and Stellantis represented 64% of fiscal 2025 sales, creating substantial exposure to lost customers, vehicle models or content.
- Operational Risks
Shortages, Increases in Costs, or Other Restrictions on the Availability of Raw Materials or Components Supply
Shortages affecting STRATTEC, its suppliers or customers could halt production, while reliance on fewer suppliers increases component availability risk.
- Operational Risks
During recent fiscal years, we have experienced higher costs on raw materials and purchased components, as well as freight costs. The continuation or renewal of these cost increases could have a material adverse effect on our future revenue, financial results, financial condition and cash flows
Higher raw-material, purchased-component and freight costs could continue, with supplier consolidation increasing dependence on fewer sources.
- Financial Risks
Program Volume and Pricing Fluctuations
STRATTEC may spend on vehicle programs based on forecast volumes but recover less if actual model production is lower.
- Financial Risks
Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations
Manufacturing costs incurred in Mexican pesos expose profitability, cash flows and financial position to U.S. dollar/Mexican peso movements.
- Operational Risks
Disruptions Due to Work Stoppages and Other Labor Matters
Customer or supplier labor stoppages could slow or close vehicle assembly plants and reduce demand for STRATTEC products.
- Financial Risks
Financial Distress of Automotive Supply Base
Financially distressed automotive suppliers could fail, requiring STRATTEC to provide assistance or other measures to preserve uninterrupted production.
- Legal and Regulatory Risks
Environmental, Safety and Other Regulations
Manufacturing and assembly operations must comply with environmental, safety and other requirements governing materials handling and disposal.
