CDW Reports Second Quarter Results for 2011

Company Achieves Record Quarterly Net Sales, Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 1, 2011--CDW Corporation:

Second quarter 2011 highlights:

  • Net sales of $2.412 billion, up 8.5 percent year-over-year
  • Gross profit margin of 16.7 percent, up 50 basis points year-over-year
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $187.5 million, up 17.9 percent year-over-year
  • Reduced 2014-2015 aggregate debt maturities from $1.7 billion to $0.6 billion

CDW Corporation, a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to business, government, education and healthcare, today announced second quarter 2011 results.

“Business momentum continued in the second quarter as CDW achieved all-time quarterly highs for net sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA,” said John A. Edwardson, chairman and chief executive officer. “CDW delivered outstanding financial results driven by the strength of our customer value proposition and our coworkers. High single digit sales growth coupled with gross profit margin expansion of 50 basis points and disciplined cost management drove year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth of 17.9 percent.”

“While the macro-economic environment continues to be mixed, CDW delivered solid revenue growth driven by strength in our medium/large, small business and healthcare channels,” continued Thomas E. Richards, president and chief operating officer. “Our public segment returned to growth in the second quarter as the year-over-year performance improved for our government and education channels compared to the first quarter of 2011. Our priorities for the second half of 2011 are to profitably grow faster than the market while continuing to invest in selling resources and service delivery capabilities.”

Second Quarter of 2011 Highlights:

Total net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $2.412 billion compared to $2.223 billion in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 8.5 percent. Average daily sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $37.7 million compared to $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing an 8.5 percent increase. There were 64 selling days in both the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.

  • Total Corporate segment net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $1.338 billion compared to $1.193 billion in the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 12.1 percent. Average daily sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $20.9 million compared to $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing a 12.1 percent increase. Sales growth in the Corporate segment was driven by strong performance in both the Medium/Large and Small Business sales channels.
  • Total Public segment net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $951 million compared to $931 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 2.2 percent. Average daily sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $14.9 million compared to $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 2.2 percent. The Public segment was led by continued strong performance in our Healthcare sales channel.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 was $401.8 million compared to $359.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 11.7 percent. Gross profit margin was 16.7 percent in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 16.2 percent in the same period of 2010, as the year-over-year gross margin percent improved for the fifth consecutive quarter. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to price/mix, driven by a higher mix of commission revenue and net service contract revenue, along with favorable price/mix changes across the remaining product categories. Increased vendor funding as a percentage of net sales also had a favorable impact on gross profit margin.

Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $273.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $264.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 3.5 percent. The increase in total selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2011 was primarily due to increased sales and other variable compensation costs consistent with higher sales and gross profit, along with increased advertising expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $187.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $159.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 17.9 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.8 percent in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 7.2 percent in the second quarter of 2010.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased $1.078 billion of existing 11%/11.5% Senior Notes due 2015 at 109% of par, funded with the issuance of $1.175 billion of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2019. This reduced our 2014-2015 aggregate debt maturities from $1.7 billion to $0.6 billion and provides the Company with additional financial flexibility. We also refinanced our existing $800 million ABL revolving credit facility, scheduled to mature in October 2012, with a new, $900 million facility that will mature in 2016. In connection with these transactions, the Company recorded a loss on long-term debt extinguishments of $115.7 million, resulting in a net loss of $34.8 million in the second quarter of 2011.


First Six Months of 2011 Highlights:

Total net sales in the first six months of 2011 were $4.542 billion compared to $4.157 billion in the first six months of 2010, an increase of 9.2 percent.

Average daily sales in the first six months of 2011 were $20.5 million compared to $18.2 million in the first six months of 2010, representing a 12.4 percent increase. Sales growth in the Corporate segment was driven by strong performance in both the Medium/Large and Small Business sales channels.
  • Total Public segment net sales in the first six months of 2011 were $1.675 billion compared to $1.651 billion in the first six months of 2010, representing an increase of 1.4 percent. Average daily sales in the first six months of 2011 were $13.1 million compared to $13.0 million in the first six months of 2010, representing an increase of 0.7 percent. The Public segment was led by continued strong performance in our Healthcare sales channel.

Gross profit for the first six months of 2011 was $753.3 million compared to $665.7 million in the first six months of 2010, representing an increase of 13.2 percent. Gross profit margin was 16.6 percent in the first six months of 2011 compared to 16.0 percent in the same period of 2010. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to price/mix, driven by a higher mix of commission revenue and net service contract revenue, along with favorable price/mix changes across the remaining product categories. Increased vendor funding as a percentage of net sales also had a favorable impact on gross profit margin.

Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $533.4 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $498.8 million in the first six months of 2010, representing an increase of 6.9 percent. The increase in total selling and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2011 was primarily due to increased sales and other variable compensation costs consistent with higher sales and gross profit, along with increased advertising expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $343.0 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $292.3 million in the first six months of 2010, representing an increase of 17.3 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.6 percent in the first six months of 2011 compared to 7.0 percent in the first six months of 2010.

The Company completed several debt refinancing transactions during the first six months of 2011, including a first quarter Term Loan amendment and the Senior Notes repurchase/issuance and ABL revolving credit facility refinancing in the second quarter. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded a loss on long-term debt extinguishments of $118.9 million, resulting in a net loss of $39.0 million in the first six months of 2011.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

(dollars in millions)

(unaudited)

 

We have included reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure defined in our credit agreements, means EBITDA adjusted for certain items which are described in the table below. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide helpful information with respect to our operating performance and cash flows including our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA also provides helpful information as it is the primary measure used in certain financial covenants contained in our credit agreements.
