Analysis · KTCC · Manufacturing
A sharp sequential revenue rebound to $102.0M was overshadowed by a $28.4M non-cash deferred tax asset write-down and an $8.4M write-off of distressed customer receivables, driving a GAAP net loss of $(34.3)M. Adjusted net loss was only $(2.9)M, and the company completed its China manufacturing wind-down while securing over $60M in new program awards. The decision to withhold Q1 FY27 guidance adds uncertainty, but management expects a return to profitability in fiscal 2027.
