For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, Keytronic reported total revenue of $132.6 million, up 14% from $116.0 million in the same period of fiscal year 2020. For the full year of fiscal 2021, total revenue was $518.7 million, the highest annual revenue in the Company’s fifty-two year history, and up 15% from $449.5 million for fiscal year 2020.
