Exhibit 99.1
KIMBALL ELECTRONICS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2015 RESULTS
JASPER, IN (November 19, 2014) - Kimball Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KE), a leading global electronic manufacturing services provider for high-quality, durable goods electronics, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2015 which ended September 30, 2014.
Donald D. Charron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Double-digit growth in all four end market verticals helped us set a new quarterly sales record in the first quarter of the new fiscal year. Strong growth with existing customers as well as sales from new program wins helped us overcome the previously announced decline in sales to JCI (Johnson Controls, Inc.). We have one more quarter before the JCI build out is substantially complete. We are very pleased with the focused effort of our team to fill the hole created by the loss of the JCI business."
Mr. Charron concluded, "Our new business opportunities pipeline is healthy and we have good momentum as we become a separate, stand-alone publicly traded company from the recently completed spin-off from Kimball International."
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Highlights:
• | Net sales of $203.8 million increased 16% from the prior year first quarter. Sales related to the exit of JCI were down $11.3 million compared to the same quarter last year. |
• | Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 1.7 percentage points from the prior year first quarter. |
• | The prior year first quarter includes $5.0 million of pre-tax income resulting from settlement proceeds related to two antitrust class action lawsuits of which the Company was a member. |
• | Spin-off costs totaled $1.0 million in the current year first quarter. |
• | Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP), excluding spin-off costs, of $8.8 million (4.3% of net sales) increased 87% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 adjusted operating income, which excludes the lawsuit income and restructuring costs. |
• | Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $6.4 million compares to adjusted net income of $4.8 million in the prior year first quarter. |
• | Adjusted earnings per basic and diluted share (non-GAAP) of $0.22 compares to adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.16 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. |
• | Cash flows used for operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 was $4.5 million. |
• | Days sales outstanding, calculated as accounts receivable divided by one day's average net sales, was 57.4 days at September 30, 2014 compared to 56.6 days at September 30, 2013. |

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained within this release are considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to fully realize the expected benefits of the completed spin-off, the global economic conditions, significant volume reductions from key contract customers, loss of key customers or suppliers, financial stability of key customers and suppliers, availability or cost of raw materials, and increased competitive pricing pressures reflecting excess industry capacities. Additional cautionary statements regarding other risk factors that could have an effect on the future performance of the Company are contained in the Company's Registration Statement filed on Form 10, as amended, and declared effective on October 7, 2014 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States in the statement of income, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, or statement of equity of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis used within this release include 1) operating income excluding spin-off expenses, settlement proceeds from lawsuits and restructuring charges, 2) net income excluding spin-off expenses, settlement proceeds from lawsuits and restructuring charges, and 3) earnings per basic and diluted share excluding spin-off expenses, settlement proceeds from lawsuits and restructuring charges. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the Financial Highlights table below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand how its core operations performed without the effects of the spin-off expenses, lawsuit income, and costs incurred in executing its restructuring plans. Excluding these amounts allows investors to meaningfully trend, analyze, and benchmark the performance of the Company's core operations. Many of the Company's internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these charges to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics.
