Note A - Description of the Business

SigmaTron International, Inc., its subsidiaries, foreign enterprises and international procurement office (collectively, the “Company”) operates as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”). The EMS Segment includes printed circuit board assemblies, electro-mechanical subassemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the EMS Segment also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and distribution services; (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies and (7) compliance reporting. Until the sale described below, effective April 1, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary, Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”), operated in a second reportable segment, as a provider of products to the pet technology (“Pet Tech”) market. The Pet Tech reportable segment offered electronic products such as the Freedom Smart Dog Collar™, a wireless geo-mapped fence and wellness system, along with apparel and accessories.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company exited its active involvement in the Pet Tech business conducted by Wagz through the sale by the Company of the majority ownership interest in Wagz, effective as of April 1, 2023. The Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) by and among the Company, Wagz, Vynetic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), and Terry B. Anderton, co-founder of Wagz and principal of Buyer (“Anderton”), pursuant to which the Company sold to Buyer 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Wagz for the purchase price of one dollar. Under the SPA, the Company also agreed to provide a $900,000 working capital term loan (the “Wagz Loan”) to Wagz during the month of April 2023. The Company agreed to work with Wagz as an EMS provider pursuant to a manufacturing agreement, but the Company did not commit to extending any further financial support beyond the Wagz Loan. On April 28, 2023, the sale of the majority ownership interest in Wagz pursuant to the SPA was consummated effective as of April 1, 2023, and as a result, as of the closing, the Company holds a minority 19% ownership of Wagz common stock and Buyer holds a majority 81% of Wagz common stock. However, the Company determined that due to financial uncertainty of Wagz after the Company’s sale, the Wagz Loan was uncollectable and the 19% ownership interest was fully reserved, in each case as of April 30, 2023.

Notes Payable – Secured lenders

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “JPM Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Lender” or “JPM”), pursuant to which Lender provided the Company with a secured credit facility consisting of a revolving loan facility and a term loan facility (collectively, the “Facility”).

On July 18, 2022, SigmaTron, Wagz and Lender amended and restated the JPM Agreement by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as so amended and restated, the “JPM Credit Agreement”). Wagz and its property were released from the JPM Credit Agreement, effective April 1, 2023, pursuant to the JPM Waiver (as defined below) effective as of April 1, 2023. The Facility, as amended, allows the Company to borrow on a revolving basis up to the lesser of (i) $70,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to a percentage of the eligible receivable borrowing base plus a percentage of the inventory borrowing base minus any reserves established by Lender (the “Revolving Commitment”). The maturity date of the Facility is July 18, 2027. Deferred financing costs of $177,119 and $332,139 were capitalized during the six month period ended October 31, 2023 and during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, respectively, which are amortized over the term of the JPM Credit Agreement. As of October 31, 2023, there was $39,907,771 outstanding and $13,403,925 of unused availability under the revolving loan facility compared to an outstanding balance of $51,134,699 and $11,539,183 of unused availability at April 30, 2023. As of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, the unamortized amount offset against outstanding debt was $659,532 and $572,191, respectively.

Under the JPM Credit Agreement, a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) financial covenant of 1.10x is applicable only during an FCCR trigger period which occurs when (a) commencing on the Effective Date (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement) and ending when the Term Loan Obligations (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement) have been paid in full and (b) following the payment in full of the Term Loan Obligations, (i) an event of default (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, and Lender has elected to impose a FCCR trigger period upon notice to the Company or (ii) availability falls below the greater of (y) 10% of the Revolving Commitment and (z) the outstanding principal amount of the term loans. In addition, prior to the amendment to the JPM Credit Agreement pursuant to the JPM Waiver (as discussed below under “Waiver, Consent and Amendment to Credit Agreements”), the JPM Credit Agreement imposed a financial covenant that required the Company to maintain a leverage ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA (each as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement) for any twelve month period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter through the maturity of the revolving Facility not to exceed a certain amount, which ratio (a) ranged from 5.00-to-1 for fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on January 31, 2023 to 3.00-to-1 for the fiscal quarter ending on July 31, 2026 (if the Term Loan Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement) as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter is less than or equal to 1.50-to-1) and (b) ranged from 5.50-to-1 for the fiscal quarter ending on January 31, 2023 to 4.00-to-1 for the fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on July 31, 2026 (if the Term Loan Borrowing Base Coverage Ratio as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter is greater than 1.50-to-1).

In addition, the JPM Credit Agreement imposes a cash dominion period if there is an event of default or if availability is less than 10% of the Revolving Commitment, and such requirement continues until there is no event of default and availability is greater than 10% of the Revolving Commitment, in each case for 30 consecutive days. Based on this criteria, the total debt balances for the Facility were required to be classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 2023.

In connection with the entry into the JPM Credit Agreement, Lender and TCW Asset Management Company LLC, as administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below), entered into the Intercreditor Agreement, dated July 18, 2022, and acknowledged by SigmaTron and Wagz (the “ICA”), to set forth and govern the lenders’ respective lien priorities, rights and remedies under the JPM Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement.

On March 2, 2023, the Company received notices of default from both JPM and TCW. The Notices indicated the occurrence of certain events of default under the JPM Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement (together with the JPM Credit Agreement the “Credit Agreements”). In addition, the Company received a delinquency notification letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq for failing to timely file the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023. This notification also constituted a default under the Credit Agreements. The Nasdaq delinquency was remedied on May 19, 2023.

The JPM Notice indicated that the Lender was informed of the occurrence of events of defaults and the continuation thereof under the JPM Credit Agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to maintain a FCCR for the twelve month period ended January 31, 2023 of at least 1.10x as required under the JPM Credit Agreement (the “JPM Covenant Defaults”).

The TCW Notice indicated that Agent and TCW Lenders were informed of the occurrence of events of default and the continuation thereof under the Term Loan Agreement (described below) as a result of the Company permitting the Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the twelve month period ended on January 31, 2023 to be greater than 5.00:1.00 in violation of the Term Loan Agreement and the Company’s failure to maintain FCCR as required under the JPM Credit Agreement (the “TCW Covenant Defaults” and together with the JPM Covenant Defaults, the “Defaults”).

As a result of the Defaults, the Company was not in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Agreements as of January 31, 2023. Due to the Notices received on March 2, 2023, from each of JPM and TCW, the total debt balances for both the Facility and the TCW Term Loan had been classified as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2023.

Furthermore, the JPM Waiver modified the definition of Applicable Margin from a fixed amount equal to 2.00% to an amount that varies from 2.00% (for revolver availability greater than or equal to $20.0 million), to 2.50% (for revolver availability greater than or equal to $10.0 million), to 3.00% (for revolver availability less than $10.0 million), and fixed the Applicable Margin at 3.00% for six months starting April 1, 2023.

Note F - Income Tax

The income tax expense was $343,666 for the three month period ended October 31, 2023 compared to an income tax expense of $1,743,554 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 92.40% and 35.88% for the quarters ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the three month period ended October 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the previous year is due to decreased taxable earnings in the current quarter compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase in effective tax rate is due to variations in income earned by jurisdiction and as compared to the previous quarter in the current fiscal year.

The income tax expense was $189,531 for the six month period ended October 31, 2023 compared to an income tax expense of $2,751,850 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 39.49% and 30.61% for the six month period ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the six month period ended October 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the previous year is due to decreased taxable earnings in the current year compared to the previous year. The increase in effective tax rate for the six month period ended October 31, 2023 is due primarily to variations in income earned by jurisdiction.

SigmaTron and Wagz filed or are expected to file U.S. tax returns on a consolidated basis for periods during which Wagz was wholly owned. Therefore, a valuation allowance was established on the group’s U.S. deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2022. After the sale of the majority ownership interest in Wagz, SigmaTron expects to file on a standalone basis and utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets with the exception of the capital loss on sale, its investment in subsidiary, and certain foreign tax credits. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $7,215,769 on its U.S. capital loss, its investment in subsidiary, and foreign tax credit carryforwards. The Company has also established a valuation allowance of $439,511 on NOLs attributable to its Vietnam subsidiary as of October 31, 2023. Based on historical losses and forecasted future earnings, the Company has determined that the tax benefit from such assets are more likely than not to be realized. The Company’s valuation allowance was $7,655,280 and $7,703,517 as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company has not changed its plans to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The cumulative amount of unremitted earnings for which U.S. income taxes have not been recorded is $14,561,000 as of October 31, 2023.

Note G - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims or investigations that are incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. In future periods, the Company could be subjected to cash cost or non-cash charges to earnings if any of these matters is resolved on unfavorable terms. However, although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including management’s assessment of the merits of any particular claim, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings or claims will have any material adverse impact on its future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note H - Significant Accounting Policies

Management Estimates and Uncertainties - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for credit losses, excess and obsolete reserves for inventory, deferred income, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance for deferred taxes and valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

The potential impact of future disruptions and continued economic uncertainty over public health crises, including COVID-19 and variants, and the global supply chain may have a significant adverse impact on the timing of delivery of customer orders and the levels of future customer orders. It is possible that these potential adverse impacts may result in the recognition of material impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets or other related charges in future periods.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for credit losses of $28,492 and $100,000 as of October 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, respectively. The Company believes that its allowance for credit losses is adequate and represents its best estimate as of October 31, 2023. The Company continues to closely monitor customer liquidity along with industry and economic conditions, which may result in changes to its estimate.

The following table presents the Company’s accounts receivable balance at the end of each period indicated:

During the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2023, no material revenues were recognized from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods and no amounts were allocated to performance obligations that remain unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at October 31, 2023. The Company is electing not to disclose the amount of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations with a duration of one year or less. The Company had no material remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of October 31, 2023, with an expected duration of greater than one year.

Contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer. As products are delivered and control transfers, the Company recognizes the deferred revenue in net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the deferred revenue associated with payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer reported as deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amounts recognized through net sales for each period presented.

Income Tax - The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates by management are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense assessment.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results and changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment and estimates by management about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income and/or loss. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized. SigmaTron and Wagz filed or are expected to file U.S. tax returns on a consolidated basis for periods during which Wagz was wholly

owned. Therefore, a valuation allowance was established on the group’s U.S. deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2022. After the sale of Wagz, SigmaTron expects to file on a standalone basis and utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets with the exception of the capital loss on sale and certain foreign tax credits. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $7,215,769 on its U.S. capital loss, its investment in subsidiary, and foreign tax credit carryforwards and a valuation allowance of $439,511 on certain foreign loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2023.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360: Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, machinery and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. If events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Company first performs an impairment review based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of its assets and liabilities. This analysis requires management judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines, and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment, if any, for the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset group and its carrying value. The Company further conducts annual reviews of its long-lived asset groups for possible impairment.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives. The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives annually, or more frequently if triggering events occur, based on the estimated fair value of the related reporting unit or intangible asset. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. When performing its annual impairment assessment as of April 30, the Company evaluates the goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units for potential impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the relevant reporting unit to the carrying value. The Company uses various Level 2 and Level 3 valuation techniques to determine the fair value of its reporting units, including discounting estimated future cash flows based on a cash flow forecast prepared by the relevant reporting unit and market multiples of relevant public companies. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a goodwill impairment loss is recorded for the difference.

New Accounting Standards:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13, as amended by ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05, that introduces a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2016- 13 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and the guidance is to be applied using the modified-retrospective approach. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter ended July 31, 2023 and it had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for a period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Regulators and market participants in various jurisdictions have undertaken efforts to eliminate certain reference rates and introduce new reference rates that are based on a larger and more liquid population of observable transactions. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. In January 2021, the FASB issued clarification on the scope of relief related to the reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB extended the period of time entities can use the reference rate reform relief guidance by two years which defers the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU in fiscal 2023 and it had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note I – Leases

The Company leases office and storage space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 5 years. At contract inception, the Company reviews the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to determine if the contract is or contains a lease. The Company follows the guidance in Topic 842 to evaluate whether the contract has an identified asset; if the Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the underlying asset. When determining if a contract has an identified asset, the Company considers both explicit and implicit assets, and whether the supplier has the right to substitute the asset. When determining if the Company has the right to direct the use of an underlying asset, the Company considers if it has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use and if it controls the decision-making rights over the asset.

The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company exercises judgment to determine the term of those leases when extension or termination options are present and includes such options in the calculation of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options.

The Company has elected to include both lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease payments. Payments made to a lessor for items such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, or other costs commonly referred to as executory costs, are also included in lease payments if they are fixed. The fixed portion of these payments are included in the calculation of the lease liability, while any variable portion would be recognized as variable lease expenses, when incurred. Variable payments made to third parties for these, or similar costs, such as utilities, are not included in the calculation of lease payments.

At commencement, lease-related assets and liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company exercises judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available when the lease commences to measure the present value of future payments.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease cost includes amortization, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the leased asset, and interest expense, which is recognized following an effective interest rate method.

Operating leases are included in other assets, current operating lease obligations, and operating lease obligations (less current portion) on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment and current and long-term portion of finance lease obligations on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet with expense recognized as incurred.

Note J – Disposition

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company exited its active involvement in the Pet Tech business that is conducted by Wagz through the sale of the majority ownership interest in Wagz, effective as of April 1, 2023. The Company entered into the SPA with Wagz, Buyer and Anderton, pursuant to which the Company sold to Buyer 81% of Wagz common stock for the purchase price of one dollar. Under the SPA, the Company also agreed to provide a Wagz Loan to Wagz during the month of April 2023. The Company agreed to work with Wagz as an EMS provider pursuant to a manufacturing agreement, but the Company did not commit to extending any further financial support beyond the Wagz Loan. On April 28, 2023, the sale of the majority interest in Wagz pursuant to the SPA was consummated with effect as of April 1, 2023, and as a result, as of the closing, the Company holds a minority 19% ownership of Wagz common stock and Buyer holds a majority 81% of Wagz common stock. However, the Company determined that due to financial uncertainty of Wagz after the Company’s sale, the Wagz Loan was uncollectable and the 19% ownership interest was fully reserved, in each case as of April 30, 2023.

Overview:

The Company currently operates in one reportable segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”). The EMS Segment includes printed circuit board assemblies, electro-mechanical subassemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products.

Prior to the sale described below, which was effective April 1, 2023, the Company also operated in a second reportable segment as a provider of products to the pet technology (“Pet Tech”) market. The majority ownership interest in the Pet Tech Segment was sold effective as of April 1, 2023. The Pet Tech Segment offered electronic products such as the Freedom Smart Dog Collar™, a wireless, geo-mapped fence, and wellness system, and apparel and accessories.

Except as otherwise noted, the description of the Company’s business below reflects its continuing operations. Refer to Note M - Discontinued Operations, to the consolidated financial statements for activity associated with discontinued operations.

The Company provides manufacturing and assembly services ranging from the assembly of individual components to the assembly and testing of box-build electronic products. The Company has the ability to produce assemblies requiring mechanical as well as electronic capabilities. The products assembled by the Company are then incorporated into finished products sold in various industries, particularly industrial electronics, consumer electronics and medical/life sciences. In some instances, the Company manufactures and assembles the completed finished product for its customers.

In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and distribution services; (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies and (7) compliance reporting. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single-source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

Sales can be an unreliable indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (turnkey versus consignment) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to

SigmaTron International, Inc.

October 31, 2023

consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross margin levels. Consignment orders accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s revenues for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022.

The Company’s international footprint provides our customers with flexibility within the Company to manufacture in China, Mexico, Vietnam or the U.S. We believe this strategy will continue to serve the Company well as its customers continuously evaluate their supply chain strategies.

The Company reported a pre-tax profit from continuing operations for the three months ended October 31, 2023 of $371,928. Pre-tax profit from continuing operations for the three months ended October 31, 2022 was $4,858,965. The Company recorded revenue of $98,691,684 and $108,221,067 in the three month periods ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company reported a pre-tax profit from continuing operations for the six months ended October 31, 2023 of $479,892. Pre-tax profit from continuing operations for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was $8,988,601. The Company recorded revenue of $196,822,040 and $213,411,047 in the six month periods ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively.

The impact of inflation and the continuing global supply chain disruptions in the electronic component marketplace have continued to be challenging. The Company has certain customers that have lowered their demand, while others remain strong. The Company expects this uncertainty to remain short term as it expects customer requirements to pick up by fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company has seen modest improvements to the supply chain challenges that it has experienced over the last 18 months. The Company expects these challenges to continue to improve for the six months remaining of fiscal 2024, based on what is known at this time.

The Company began its Pet Technology operations after the December 2021 acquisition of Wagz. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company exited its active involvement in the Pet Tech business that is conducted by Wagz through the sale by the Company of the majority ownership interest in Wagz, effective as of April 1, 2023.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased $9,529,383, or 8.8%, to $98,691,684 for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to $108,221,067 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times leading up to the current fiscal quarter, which has negatively affected customer demand in the consumer electronics and certain industrial electronics markets, but has not had the same effect in the medical/life science market. As a result, the Company’s sales decreased for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, in the consumer electronics and industrial electronics markets, partially offset with an increase in net sales in the medical/life science market, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Costs of products sold

Cost of products sold decreased $5,911,059, or 6.2%, to $89,003,929 (90.2% of net sales) for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to $94,914,988 (87.7% of net sales) for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of products sold as a percentage of sales is primarily due to higher labor costs and other fixed manufacturing costs, primarily due to continued

inflationary pressures, for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, than in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin was 9.8% of net sales, for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to 12.3% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross margins as a percentage of sales is primarily due to higher labor and other fixed manufacturing costs during the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $107,537, or 1.7% to $6,613,634 (6.7% of net sales) for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to $6,506,097 (6.0% of net sales) for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in selling and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in accounting fees, partially offset with a decrease in bonus expense.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, increased to $2,708,696 for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to $1,976,831 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase relates to increased interest rates for the three month period ended October 31, 2023.

Income tax benefit/expense

Income tax expense decreased $1,399,888 to an income tax expense of $343,666 for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to an income tax expense of $1,743,554 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate increased to 92.40% for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to 35.88% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in income tax expense for the three month period ended October 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the previous year is due to decreased taxable earnings in the current quarter compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase in effective tax rate is due to variations in income earned by jurisdiction and as compared to the previous quarter in the current fiscal year.

Net income from continuing operations

Net income decreased $3,087,149, to $28,262 for the three month period ended October 31, 2023, compared to $3,115,411 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decreased net income primarily relates to lower sales and higher interest expense due to increased interest rates, partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense.

Net loss from discontinued operations

Net loss from discontinued operations was $2,243,539 for the three month period ended October 31, 2022. The net loss from discontinued operations consisted of operational losses from the Pet Tech Segment.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican, Vietnamese and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan IPO. The Company provides funding in U.S. Dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Dong, Renminbi, and New Taiwan dollars. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuations for the six month period ended October 31, 2023, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of $461,859 compared to net foreign currency losses of $797,459 for the same period in the prior year.

SigmaTron International, Inc.

October 31, 2023

The Company anticipates that its credit facilities, expected future cash flow from operations and leasing resources are adequate to meet its working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures for the next 12 months. However, in the event customers delay orders or future payments are not made timely, the Company desires to expand its operations, its business grows more rapidly than expected, or the current economic climate deteriorates, additional financing resources may be necessary. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist.

The impact of inflation and the continuing global supply chain disruptions in the electronic component marketplace have continued to be challenging. The Company has certain customers that have lowered their demand, while others remain strong. The Company expects this uncertainty to remain short term as it expects customer requirements to pick up by third quarter for fiscal 2024. The Company has seen modest improvements to the supply chain challenges that it has experienced over the last 18 months. The Company expects these challenges to continue to improve for fiscal 2024, based on what is known at this time.
