- Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA decreased in Q3 fiscal 2024 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2023.
- The company's loss from operations was $3.0 million, a significant decrease from the income in the same quarter of fiscal 2023.
The financial results reported by Methode Electronics indicate a significant downturn in their fiscal third quarter performance, with a net loss of $11.6 million compared to a net income of $19.9 million in the prior year. A critical factor contributing to this loss appears to be operational inefficiencies within the Automotive segment, which have led to increased costs and reduced profitability. The reported net sales decrease of 15.5% (excluding acquisitions and currency translation) is a substantial contraction, signaling potential issues in demand and execution.
Investors should note the sales decline in the Automotive segment, particularly due to program roll-offs and weak demand in electric vehicle (EV) and e-bike markets. This could raise concerns about the company's ability to adapt to shifting market dynamics. The purchase of 130,592 shares for $3.0 million indicates a share buyback strategy, which might be viewed as management's confidence in the intrinsic value of the company or an attempt to support the stock price. However, the suspension of forward-looking guidance may increase investor uncertainty about the company's future performance.
Methode Electronics' exposure to the automotive industry, particularly the electric and hybrid vehicle markets, is both an opportunity and a risk. The reported 19% of net sales from EV applications implies the company's strategic positioning in a growing industry. However, the decrease in sales from the previous year suggests that the company is not fully capitalizing on the sector's growth, possibly due to competitive pressures or internal challenges.
The company's efforts to restore profitability by reducing hard costs and disposing of non-critical assets could improve the financial standing in the short term. However, the success of these measures in the long term will likely depend on the company's ability to address the underlying operational inefficiencies and adapt to market changes. The mention of a 'thorough review of the entire portfolio' suggests a strategic pivot that may be necessary to align with market trends and customer needs.
The reported operational inefficiencies in Methode Electronics' Automotive segment are a significant concern. These inefficiencies, which include inventory adjustments, scrap expenses and higher labor and freight costs, have directly impacted the bottom line. It is imperative for the company to implement process improvements and cost optimization strategies. The CEO's focus on reducing inventory and increasing free cash flow is a step in the right direction, as it could help in stabilizing the company's financials and preparing for a more efficient operational model.
Operational challenges highlighted in the report, such as program launch delays, are often symptomatic of deeper issues within production and supply chain processes. Addressing these will be critical for Methode to improve margins and regain profitability. The company's ability to navigate these operational headwinds while maintaining quality and customer satisfaction will be key to its recovery and future success.

Management Comments
President and Chief Executive Officer Avi Avula said, “Our sales in the quarter were impacted by auto program roll-offs and persistent demand weakness in the e-bike and data center markets. While EV activity was a stable percentage of our sales, they were down from the previous year on a dollar basis. The lower sales volume and the impact from our ongoing operational inefficiencies in the Automotive segment, which were a combination of lingering challenges from the first half of the fiscal year and costs from program launch delays, drove the net loss in the quarter. Despite these challenges, we returned to positive free cash flow in the quarter.”
Mr. Avula added, “Given ongoing operational inefficiencies, the looming market headwinds in EV, and my recent appointment as CEO, we have suspended guidance. Right now, my primary goal is to restore profitability, starting with an intensive review of and quick actions to reduce hard costs, including items like headcount and various discretionary expenses, and to dispose of non-critical assets. We will also work to reduce working capital, particularly inventory, and increase free cash flow. This will be closely followed by an expeditious, but thorough review of the entire portfolio. We plan to share an update on our business review when we report fiscal fourth quarter results in June. We expect to resume guidance in the near future.”
Mr. Avula concluded, “While I have been at Methode only a month, I am very excited and energized by the potential of the business. Our company foundation is strong with a rich legacy of innovation, close customer relationships, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. I look forward to building on that foundation and charting a course towards even greater success for the organization.”

Segment Fiscal Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Comparing the Automotive segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2023,
- Net sales were
$139.7 million , down from$176.5 million . Net sales decreased by$36.8 million or20.8% mainly due to lower volume in North America and Asia primarily related to program roll-offs and EV demand weakness and in Europe related to lower sensor sales resulting from an overstocked e-bike market. Partially offsetting the decline was a favorable foreign currency translation of$1.1 million . - Loss from operations was
$11.0 million , down from income from operations of$18.7 million . Loss from operations was a negative7.9% of net sales, down from a positive10.6% primarily due to lower sales volume and costs resulting from the operational inefficiencies, mainly in North America, that occurred in the first and second fiscal quarters and continued in the third fiscal quarter. These inefficiencies resulted in inventory adjustments, scrap expenses, and higher labor and freight costs.
Comparing the Industrial segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2023,
- Net sales were
$107.1 million , up from$91.0 million . The acquisition of the Nordic Lights business contributed$21.2 million and favorable foreign currency translation contributed$0.4 million to the sales increase.

$18.9 million , down from$22.3 million . The acquisition of the Nordic Lights business contributed$1.6 million . Income from operations was17.6% of net sales, down from24.5% mainly due to product sales mix.
Comparing the Interface segment’s quarter to the same quarter of fiscal 2023,
- Net sales were
$12.7 million , up from$12.0 million . The increase was mainly due to higher volume of appliance products. - Income from operations was
$1.5 million , up from$1.0 million . Income from operations was11.8% of net sales, up from8.3% . Both increases were mainly due to the higher sales volume.
