Company Reaffirms Guidance With Supply Chain Disruptions Shifting More Shippable Backlog to Second Half of Fiscal 2022

JASPER, Ind., Sept. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kimball Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KE) today announced the company will be attending the Sidoti Fall 2021 Virtual Investor Conference. Donald D. Charron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jana Croom, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, will participate in a fireside chat on Thursday, September 23, 2021 at 10:00 AM ET. A webcast of the fireside chat will be available on the company website, on the Events & Presentations tab in the Investor Relations section, at https://investors.kimballelectronics.com/events-presentations. If you are unable to attend the live webcast, an archive will be available in this same location on the company website.

In advance of the conference, the company reaffirms its guidance for the full year fiscal 2022, with supply chain disruptions shifting more shippable backlog to the second half of the fiscal year.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Mr. Charron stated, “As highlighted in our earnings release in August, we expect two very different halves to fiscal 2022 as a result of the global materials shortage. The supply chain disruption in July and August was more pronounced than our original estimates, partly due to rising COVID-19 infections in Malaysia that slowed output at parts factories. This compounded an already severe global shortage of semiconductors and is shifting out our shippable backlog as customer demand far exceeds parts availability.”

Mr. Charron continued, “Our teams have been working closely with our suppliers and customers to address the challenges of the shortage. As previously stated, the environment is very dynamic based on COVID-19, logistic issues, and capacity constraints. Our customer demand for the remainder of our fiscal year is at record levels, however, the short term and longer term visibility of electronic components is still very dynamic.”
