“We are now clearly seeing the results of the transformation we have engineered at HARMAN,” said Paliwal. “We are improving profitability across all of our divisions. Our $13 billion in awarded business gives us excellent confidence in our revenue stream going forward. We are very excited about our recent interactions with stakeholders on several continents marking a new era of collaboration unsurpassed in HARMAN’s history.”

Summary of Continuing Operations

Gross margin increased to 28.1 percent for the second quarter ended December 31, 2010, an improvement of 1.0 percentage point. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis increased to 28.3 percent for the second quarter, an improvement of 0.9 percentage points. SG&A expense as a percentage of sales on a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter declined by 1.3 percentage points to 20.7 percent. The Company’s improved operating margin was primarily driven by lower engineering costs, higher sales, and improved productivity. HARMAN is near completion of its $400 million STEP Change cost-savings program and has achieved $393 million in permanent savings through December 31, 2010, compared to a target of $348 million.

Strategic Initiatives

During the Second Quarter, HARMAN embarked on one of its most progressive private – public partnerships in China. The Company broke ground in the northern city of Dandong for a new R&D and manufacturing complex. With continued support from the local government, this 430,000 square foot facility will serve the automotive, professional and consumer divisions by summer 2011. Once completed, this facility will become HARMAN’s largest site worldwide, complementing existing Chinese operations in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Suzhou. The aggressive build-up of HARMAN’s automotive capability in China positions the Company well to serve the world’s largest automotive market, expected to reach more than 30 million vehicles by 2015.

Global Footprint Optimization

In addition to steps taken in China to position HARMAN for the future, the Company continues to take decisive action to balance its global footprint in mature and emerging markets, including planned expansions of its presence in Hungary and Mexico. The Company also made the decision to close its Washington, Missouri manufacturing facility by 2012, and shift some production to HARMAN’s Franklin, Kentucky plant making it the flagship for automotive manufacturing in North America.

Leadership in Connectivity and Driver Safety

HARMAN made its presence known at CES with news of its partnership with Sierra Wireless to bring 4G/LTE broadband connectivity to the car. This collaboration underlines HARMAN’s commitment to lead the automotive industry in innovations that address the growing demand for in-vehicle mobile broadband applications. The Company also announced that its cloud-based Aha Radio™ platform was chosen by another industry player to safely connect drivers to the world around them with on-demand, interactive, personalized radio and social media content —making HARMAN’s platform the base for future connectivity.

HARMAN unveiled its scalable, multimedia system in cooperation with leading automaker Toyota. The Toyota Entune™ multimedia system was debuted at CES and will be first offered on select Toyota vehicles beginning later in 2011. The new system complements HARMAN’s long-standing relationship in providing premium audio systems from its JBL brand to Toyota.

Finally, the Company revealed details of its collaboration with Nuance to pioneer solutions that leverage innovative text-to-speech and speech-to-text technologies that enable safer in-car SMS text and email messaging. The Company is striving to bring the best advances in connectivity and multimedia features into the car for its OEM customers, while ensuring drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Net sales in the second quarter were $664 million, a decrease of 1 percent, primarily based on unfavorable foreign currency translation and the exit of the PND business. Sales increased by 5 percent in local currency in comparison to the same period last year. When adjusted for the exit of the PND business, automotive sales grew 6 percent (12% in local currency). Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter decreased slightly to 25.2 percent from 25.4 percent. SG&A expense on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter was $107 million compared to $130 million in the prior year. The improvement was primarily driven by lower engineering expense and positive currency translation.

Automotive Division Highlights

HARMAN announced during the quarter that it was awarded a $1.2 billion contract by the Volkswagen Group to provide next-generation scalable infotainment systems for the Premium-High category. This competitive win extends the Company’s VW Group customer base beyond Audi and Porsche to include Bentley, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen. The new multimedia-driven system will offer a sophisticated set of features including dynamic navigation, brilliant graphics, Internet access, and wireless connectivity. Additionally, HARMAN delivered the first integrated navigation and infotainment systems for BMW in India.

Continuing its track record of successful project releases, the Company launched Harman Kardon and JBL premium audio systems in the new Mercedes CLS and Peugeot 508, respectively. The Company also launched Harman Kardon branded audio in the new MINI Countryman.

Net sales in the second quarter were $139 million, an increase of 10 percent, or 16 percent in local currency. This growth was driven by our successful penetration in the Asian and Latin American markets and was aided by our recent acquisition of Selenium in Brazil. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter increased to 30.1 percent, an increase of 2.3 percentage points. SG&A expense on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter was $31 million compared to $26 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to expanded sales channels and increased marketing activities.

Consumer Division Highlights

Consumer and automotive electronics are converging, and during CES, Audi delivered a keynote speech signaling that global automotive players are influencing the direction of consumer electronics innovation. HARMAN met with major automotive customers, retail trade partners and numerous technology partners at CES to leverage its unique position as a leader in both of these markets.

In the US, the Company continued aggressive marketing with 250 unique stories generating 725 million consumer impressions, including featuring our new AKG Quincy Jones Signature headphones on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and achieving top Consumer Reports ratings for our AKG noise cancelling headphones.

In Europe, the Company launched a new series of lifestyle products, the Harman/Kardon BDS System with Blu-ray Disc™, generating an immediate market response. In Germany in particular, the Company took 4 market share points in the Audio Home Systems category and reached 10% market share in the category.

In the emerging markets of Brazil, India, and China, the Consumer Division grew by 4 times over the same period last year. In China, the Company achieved record high growth rates aided in part by the entry of European retailer MediaMarkt and by opening the Company’s first flagship store in Shanghai. HARMAN multimedia products now also have broader reach across China, thanks to a new relationship with China’s leading consumer electronics distributor, Digital China, which also represents brands such as Apple. As part of the Company’s online strategy, HARMAN products are now featured on one of China’s most popular on-line shopping sites. The Company also made inroads in major hotel channels with some of its consumer multimedia devices with wins at the JW Marriott Hotel in Shanghai and the Resort Hotel in Beijing.
