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.
