Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of all domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related note disclosures. While efforts are made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management’s knowledge of current events, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting	Segment Information: Kimball Electronics has business units located in the United States, China, Mexico, Poland, Romania, and Thailand, and each of these business units qualify as operating segments. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria under the current accounting guidance for segment reporting. As of June 30, 2026, all of our operating segments provide contract manufacturing services, including engineering and supply chain support, for the production of electronic assemblies and other products including precision molded plastics and drug delivery devices. Our contract manufacturing services support primarily automotive, medical, and industrial applications, to the specifications and designs of our customers. The nature of the products, the production process, the type of customers, and the methods used to distribute the products have similar characteristics across all our operating segments. Each of our operating segments service customers in multiple markets, and many of our customers’ programs are manufactured and serviced by multiple operating segments. We leverage global processes such as component procurement and customer pricing that provide commonality and consistency among the various regions in which we operate. All of our operating segments have similar long-term economic characteristics, and as such, have been aggregated into one reportable segment. See Note 17 - Segment Reporting for more information.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue in accordance with the standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments. Our revenue from contracts with customers is generated primarily from manufacturing services provided for the production of electronic assemblies, components, medical devices, medical disposables, and precision molded plastics built to customers’ specifications. Our customer agreements are generally not for a definitive term but continue for the relevant product’s life cycle. Typically, our customer agreements do not commit the customer to purchase our services until a purchase order or a contractually binding forecast is provided, which are generally short term in nature. Customer purchase orders and contractually binding forecasts primarily have a single performance obligation. Generally, the prices stated in the customer purchase orders or committed to in contractually binding forecasts are agreed upon prices for the manufactured product and do not vary over the term of the order or the contractually binding forecast period, and therefore, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. In limited circumstances, we may enter into a contract which contains minimum quantity thresholds to cover our capital costs, and we may offer our customer a rebate for specific volume thresholds or other incentives; in these cases, the rebates or incentives are accounted for as variable consideration. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time as manufacturing services are performed as we manufacture a product to customer specifications with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The remaining revenue for manufacturing services is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, typically either upon shipment or delivery of the product dependent on the terms of the contract, and the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. We generally recognize revenue over time using costs based input methods, in which judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including anticipated margins to estimate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Costs used as a basis for estimating anticipated margins include material, direct and indirect labor, and appropriate applied overheads. Anticipated margins are determined based on historical or quoted customer pricing. Costs based input methods are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts and progress toward satisfying our performance obligations for manufacturing services and for which we believe we are entitled to payment for performance completed to date. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues or costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated services and products. Accordingly, we record customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classify such costs as a component of cost of sales. We recognize sales net of applicable sales or value add taxes. Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of net revenue. Direct incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are capitalized as a contract asset only if they are material, expected to be recovered, and are not accounted for in accordance with other guidance. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense in the period incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank accounts and money market funds. Bank accounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and money market funds are stated at fair value.
Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable	Trade Accounts Receivable: The Company’s trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to estimate expected credit losses. Management believes that historical loss information generally provides a basis for its assessment of expected credit losses. Trade accounts receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. In the ordinary course of business, customers periodically negotiate extended payment terms on trade accounts receivable. Customary terms require payment within 30 to 45 days, with any terms beyond 45 days being considered extended payment terms.
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Transfers of Financial Assets, Policy	We participate in our customers’ supply chain financing arrangements for certain of our accounts receivable in order to extend terms for the customer without negatively impacting our cash flow. These arrangements in all cases do not contain recourse provisions which would obligate us in the event of our customers’ failure to pay. Receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of Kimball Electronics and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and we have surrendered control over the transferred receivables. During fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, we sold $315.8 million, $338.4 million, and $410.0 million of accounts receivable under these arrangements, respectively. Factoring fees were $2.7 million, $2.3 million, and $3.4 million during fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Factoring fees are recorded in Non-operating income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Prior to fiscal year 2025, factoring fees were recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses. We are also a party to receivables purchase agreements (“RPA’s”) with third-party banking institutions for the sale of trade receivables generated from sales to certain customers, subject to acceptance by, and a funding commitment from, the banks that are a party to the RPA’s. Receivables sold pursuant to the RPA’s are serviced by us. Under the RPA’s, we sell our entire interest in certain receivables at the invoice amount less a discount. Upon sale, these receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and cash received is presented as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We are required to remit amounts collected as a servicer under the RPA’s timely to the financial institution that purchased the receivables. Our risks with respect to receivables we service include commercial disputes regarding such receivables and, under one of the RPA’s, no greater than 5% of sold and outstanding receivables in the event of customer insolvency.
Bankers Acceptance Drafts Policy	In limited circumstances, our China operation may receive banker’s acceptance drafts from customers as payment on account. The banker’s acceptance drafts are non-interest bearing and primarily mature within six months from the origination date. The Company has the ability to sell the drafts at a discount or transfer the drafts in settlement of current accounts payable prior to the scheduled maturity date.
Inventories	Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. Inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, design changes, or cessation of product lines. Evaluation of both excess inventory and obsolescence also considers whether customer agreements specify customer obligation to pay for such inventory.
Property, Equipment, and Depreciation	Property, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for most assets and units of production method for certain fully dedicated machinery and equipment. Generally, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and expenses for maintenance and repairs are included in both Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal. In fiscal year 2024, we recognized $17.0 million of impairment with the decision to divest of GES. In addition, on November 4, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to cease operations at our Tampa facility, which concluded with the assets being held for sale at the end of the fiscal year. No impairment was recorded on the Tampa assets as we deemed them recoverable.
Goodwill	Goodwill: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, goodwill is assessed or tested at the reporting unit level. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its estimated fair value. See Note 7 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for more information on Goodwill. To test GES, our automation, test, and measurement business unit, for goodwill impairment in fiscal year 2024, we used a combination of the Income Approach and the Market Approach. The discounted cash flow method (Income Approach) uses forecasted information based on management’s strategic plans and projections. Discount rates are developed using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) methodology. The WACC represents the blended average required rate of return for equity and debt capital based on observed market return data and company specific risk factors. In the Market Approach, fair value is determined using transactional evidence for similar publicly traded equity.
Other Intangible Assets	Other Intangible Assets: Other Intangible Assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment, and their remaining useful lives evaluated for revision, when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. Internal-use software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method. During the software application development stage, capitalized costs include external consulting costs, cost of software licenses, and could include internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Leases	Leases: The Company leases certain office facilities, manufacturing facilities, warehouse facilities, and equipment under operating leases, in addition to land on which certain office and manufacturing facilities reside. These operating leases expire from fiscal year 2027 to 2056. The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception. Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our estimated incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. See Note 21 - Leases for more information on leases.
Research and Development	Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred and are included in Cost of Sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Insurance and Self-insurance	Insurance and Self-insurance: We are self-insured up to certain limits for general liability, workers’ compensation, and certain domestic employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental, with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Approximately 14% of the workforce is covered under self-insured medical and short-term disability plans. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $2.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The remainder of our workforce not covered by self-insured plans have medical and disability coverage through either our external plans or government plans. Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, recorded in Other Assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment.
Income Tax Uncertainties	We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for Income Taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 12 - Income Taxes for more information.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk: We have business and credit risks associated with our customers. The Company monitors credit quality and associated risks of receivables on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions.
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk	Off-Balance Sheet Risk: Off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit entered into in the normal course of business as described in Note 8 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.
Non-operating Income and Expense	Non-operating Income and Expense: Non-operating income (expense), net includes the impact of such items as foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) investments, government subsidies, credit facility fees, factoring fees, bank charges, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. Prior to fiscal year 2025, factoring fees were recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. The gain (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in Selling and Administrative Expense.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation: The Company uses the U.S. dollar and Euro as its functional currencies. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into functional currencies at end-of-period exchange rates, except for nonmonetary assets and equity, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rate during the fiscal year, except for expenses related to nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement are reported in Non-operating income or expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For business units whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, the translation of functional currency statements to U.S. dollar statements uses end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, weighted average exchange rates for revenue and expenses, and historical rates for equity. The resulting currency translation adjustment is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), as a component of Share Owners’ Equity
Derivatives, Reporting of Derivative Activity	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Hedge accounting is utilized when a derivative is expected to be highly effective upon execution and continues to be highly effective over the duration of the hedge transaction. Hedge accounting permits gains and losses on derivative instruments to be deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. For transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than functional currencies, we use forward purchases to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows and foreign exchange contracts to hedge intercompany balances and other balance sheet positions. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 15 - Derivative Instruments for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 11 - Stock Compensation Plans, the Company maintains the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, which allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, or performance shares and performance units for grant to officers and other key employees, and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. The Company also maintains the Kimball Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock Compensation Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”), which allows Non-Employee Directors to elect to defer all, or a portion of, their retainer fees in stock. We recognize the cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method on a majority of our transactions. The estimated fair value of outstanding performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the award for which performance targets have been established and is expected to vest. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures by reversing the compensation costs at the time a forfeiture occurs.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards: Adopted in Fiscal Year 2026: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard for the year ended June 30, 2026. See Note 12 - Income Taxes for more information. Not Yet Adopted: In December 2025, FASB issued guidance on Interim Reporting, intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance on Accounting for Internal-Use Software, intended to modernize the accounting for software costs and changing the requirements for capitalization of software costs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period, and the guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified transition approach. We will adopt this guidance prospectively on July 1, 2026, and the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance on Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, requiring more disclosure about the types of expenses presented in our expense captions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation:

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of all domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related note disclosures. While efforts are made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management’s knowledge of current events, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

Segment Information:

Kimball Electronics has business units located in the United States, China, Mexico, Poland, Romania, and Thailand, and each of these business units qualify as operating segments.

Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria under the current accounting guidance for segment reporting. As of June 30, 2026, all of our operating segments provide contract manufacturing services, including engineering and supply chain support, for the production of electronic assemblies and other products including precision molded plastics and drug delivery devices. Our contract manufacturing services support primarily automotive, medical, and industrial applications, to the specifications and designs of our customers. The nature of the products, the production process, the type of customers, and the methods used to distribute the products have similar characteristics across all our operating segments. Each of our operating segments service customers in multiple markets, and many of our customers’ programs are manufactured and serviced by multiple operating segments. We leverage global processes such as component procurement and customer pricing that provide commonality and consistency among the various regions in which we operate. All of our operating segments have similar long-term economic characteristics, and as such, have been aggregated into one reportable segment. See Note 17 - Segment Reporting for more information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition:

We recognize revenue in accordance with the standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments. Our revenue from contracts with customers is generated primarily from manufacturing services provided for the production of electronic assemblies, components, medical devices, medical disposables, and precision molded plastics built to customers’ specifications. Our customer agreements are generally not for a definitive term but continue for the relevant product’s life cycle.

The remaining revenue for manufacturing services is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, typically either upon shipment or delivery of the product dependent on the terms of the contract, and the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. We generally recognize revenue over time using costs based input methods, in which judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including anticipated margins to estimate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Costs used as a basis for estimating anticipated margins include material, direct and indirect labor, and appropriate applied overheads. Anticipated margins are determined based on historical or quoted customer pricing.

Accordingly, we record customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classify such costs as a component of cost of sales. We recognize sales net of applicable sales or value add taxes. Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of net revenue.

Direct incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are capitalized as a contract asset only if they are material, expected to be recovered, and are not accounted for in accordance with other guidance. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense in the period incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank accounts and money market funds. Bank accounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and money market funds are stated at fair value.

Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade Accounts Receivable:

The Company’s trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to estimate expected credit losses. Management believes that historical loss information generally provides a basis for its assessment of expected credit losses.

In the ordinary course of business, customers periodically negotiate extended payment terms on trade accounts receivable. Customary terms require payment within 30 to 45 days, with any terms beyond 45 days being considered extended payment terms.

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Transfers of Financial Assets, Policy

We participate in our customers’ supply chain financing arrangements for certain of our accounts receivable in order to extend terms for the customer without negatively impacting our cash flow. These arrangements in all cases do not contain recourse provisions which would obligate us in the event of our customers’ failure to pay. Receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of Kimball Electronics and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and we have surrendered control over the transferred receivables. During fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, we sold $315.8 million, $338.4 million, and $410.0 million of accounts receivable under these arrangements, respectively. Factoring fees were $2.7 million, $2.3 million, and $3.4 million during fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Factoring fees are recorded in Non-operating income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Prior to fiscal year 2025, factoring fees were recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses.

We are also a party to receivables purchase agreements (“RPA’s”) with third-party banking institutions for the sale of trade receivables generated from sales to certain customers, subject to acceptance by, and a funding commitment from, the banks that are a party to the RPA’s. Receivables sold pursuant to the RPA’s are serviced by us.

Under the RPA’s, we sell our entire interest in certain receivables at the invoice amount less a discount. Upon sale, these receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and cash received is presented as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We are required to remit amounts collected as a servicer under the RPA’s timely to the financial institution that purchased the receivables. Our risks with respect to receivables we service include

commercial disputes regarding such receivables and, under one of the RPA’s, no greater than 5% of sold and outstanding receivables in the event of customer insolvency.

Bankers Acceptance Drafts Policy

In limited circumstances, our China operation may receive banker’s acceptance drafts from customers as payment on account. The banker’s acceptance drafts are non-interest bearing and primarily mature within six months from the origination date. The Company has the ability to sell the drafts at a discount or transfer the drafts in settlement of current accounts payable prior to the scheduled maturity date.

Inventories

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. Inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, design changes, or cessation of product lines. Evaluation of both excess inventory and obsolescence also considers whether customer agreements specify customer obligation to pay for such inventory.

Property, Equipment, and Depreciation

Property, Equipment, and Depreciation:

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for most assets and units of production method for certain fully dedicated machinery and equipment. Generally, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and expenses for maintenance and repairs are included in both Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal. In fiscal year 2024, we recognized $17.0 million of impairment with the decision to divest of GES. In addition, on November 4, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to cease operations at our Tampa facility, which concluded with the assets being held for sale at the end of the fiscal year. No impairment was recorded on the Tampa assets as we deemed them recoverable.

Goodwill

Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, goodwill is assessed or tested at the reporting unit level. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its estimated fair value. See Note 7 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for more information on Goodwill.

To test GES, our automation, test, and measurement business unit, for goodwill impairment in fiscal year 2024, we used a combination of the Income Approach and the Market Approach. The discounted cash flow method (Income Approach) uses forecasted information based on management’s strategic plans and projections. Discount rates are developed using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) methodology. The WACC represents the blended average required rate of return for equity and debt capital based on observed market return data and company specific risk factors. In the Market Approach, fair value is determined using transactional evidence for similar publicly traded equity.

Other Intangible Assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment, and their remaining useful lives evaluated for revision, when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. Internal-use software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method. During the software application development stage, capitalized costs include external consulting costs, cost of software licenses, and could include internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

The Company leases certain office facilities, manufacturing facilities, warehouse facilities, and equipment under operating leases, in addition to land on which certain office and manufacturing facilities reside. These operating leases expire from fiscal year 2027 to 2056. The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception. Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our estimated incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. See Note 21 - Leases for more information on leases.

Research and Development

Research and Development:

The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred and are included in Cost of Sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Insurance and Self-insurance

Insurance and Self-insurance:

We are self-insured up to certain limits for general liability, workers’ compensation, and certain domestic employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental, with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Approximately 14% of the workforce is covered under self-insured medical and short-term disability plans. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $2.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

The remainder of our workforce not covered by self-insured plans have medical and disability coverage through either our external plans or government plans. Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, recorded in Other Assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences

between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment.

Income Tax Uncertainties

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for Income Taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 12 - Income Taxes for more information.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk:

We have business and credit risks associated with our customers. The Company monitors credit quality and associated risks of receivables on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions.

Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

Off-Balance Sheet Risk:

Off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit entered into in the normal course of business as described in Note 8 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

Non-operating Income and Expense

Non-operating Income and Expense:

Non-operating income (expense), net includes the impact of such items as foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) investments, government subsidies, credit facility fees, factoring fees, bank charges, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. Prior to fiscal year 2025, factoring fees were recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. The gain (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in Selling and Administrative Expense.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation:

The Company uses the U.S. dollar and Euro as its functional currencies. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into functional currencies at end-of-period exchange rates, except for nonmonetary assets and equity, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rate during the fiscal year, except for expenses related to nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement are reported in Non-operating income or expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

For business units whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, the translation of functional currency statements to U.S. dollar statements uses end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, weighted average exchange rates for revenue and expenses, and historical rates for equity. The resulting currency translation adjustment is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), as a component of Share Owners’ Equity

Derivatives, Reporting of Derivative Activity

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Hedge accounting is utilized when a derivative is expected to be highly effective upon execution and continues to be highly effective over the duration of the hedge transaction. Hedge accounting permits gains and losses on derivative instruments to be deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. For transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than functional currencies, we use forward purchases to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows and foreign exchange contracts to hedge intercompany balances and other balance sheet positions. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 15 - Derivative Instruments for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation:

As described in Note 11 - Stock Compensation Plans, the Company maintains the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, which allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, or performance shares and performance units for grant to officers and other key employees, and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. The Company also maintains the Kimball Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock Compensation Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”), which allows Non-Employee Directors to elect to defer all, or a portion of, their retainer fees in stock. We recognize the cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method on a majority of our transactions. The estimated fair value of outstanding performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the award for which performance targets have been established and is expected to vest. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures by reversing the compensation costs at the time a forfeiture occurs.
