Kimball Electronics, Inc. reiterated sales guidance for second half and fiscal year 2022. For the period, the company expects net sales in the range of $1.4 to $1.5 billion, an 8% to 16% increase year-over-year. Operating income is estimated to be 3.75% - 4.25% of net sales, compared to the original guidance of 4.5% to 5.0% of net sales.

The second half of fiscal 2022 is expected to ramp up significantly throughout the period, with a very strong finish to the fiscal year and operating income above that range, as the backlog of open orders is worked down.
