STAMFORD, CT, November 2, 2012 – Harman International Industries, Incorporated, the leading global audio and infotainment group (NYSE: HAR), today announced results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Net sales for the first quarter were $998 million, a decrease of 5 percent compared to the same period last year. In local currency, net sales increased by 2 percent. The Company noted that the year-ago quarter benefitted from an estimated $75 million in additional infotainment sales as vehicle production surged to fulfill pent-up demand and one time competitive replacement following interruptions associated with the tsunami in Japan.

First quarter operating income was $79 million, compared to $74 million in the same period last year. Excluding restructuring charges, operating profit in the first quarter grew by 4 percent to $79 million, compared to $76 million in the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $0.79 for the quarter compared to $0.67 in the same period last year. Excluding restructuring charges, earnings per diluted share were $0.79 compared to $0.69 in the same period last year.

Dinesh C. Paliwal, HARMAN’s Chairman, President and CEO, commented, “We delivered another strong quarter with growth in local currency, even against last year’s abnormally strong first quarter. Our success continues to be underlined by our launch of several award winning new products and our competitive wins in car audio business from BMW, Ford and Volvo. Despite economic uncertainty and a weak European automotive sector, we have the largest backlog of awarded business in our history. We are proud that relentless execution and continued cost focus has allowed us to post our 12th consecutive quarter of top and bottom line growth. We are also pleased to see our solid track record reflected by our credit rating upgrade to investment grade. We are confident that our excellent liquidity profile will enable us to continue to utilize a variety of initiatives to deploy capital, invest in growth and generate strong returns for our shareholders.”

Net sales in the first quarter were $561 million, a decrease of 7 percent, or an increase of 2 percent in local currency. Prior year sales were exceptionally robust due to approximately $30 million in one-time competitive replacement business and $45 million in additional sales to fulfill pent-up demand following the tsunami in Japan. Continued revenue growth in BRIC countries was led China, up 27 percent. On a non-GAAP basis gross margin decreased 121 basis points to 22.9 percent of sales, primarily due to the impact of the higher margin competitive substitution business booked in the prior year.

On a non-GAAP basis SG&A and Other expense decreased 116 basis points to 14.9 percent of sales.

Lifestyle Division Highlights

In the first quarter, Harman extended its global leadership in automotive audio with $800 million of new competitive awards from major automakers including BMW, Ford and Volvo. Customers in all major markets continue to acknowledge our technological leadership, strong brand portfolio, and best-in-class global footprint.

Expanding our existing audio business with BMW, Harman was selected for new cross-car line ultra-premium level audio systems worldwide, and Volvo Car Corporation signed a letter of intent with Harman to provide ultra-premium branded audio across multiple vehicle platforms. This is HARMAN’s first branded audio award with Volvo and marks the beginning of a new strategic relationship. In North America, Ford Motor Company chose Harman as its branded audio partner for select future programs. This newly established partnership is the result of a common focus on technical innovation and a shared vision to create an unmatched ownership experience.

In Italy, the Fiat Group has also awarded HARMAN a second luxury branded audio contract for its famed Maserati sports car line, in addition to the JBL sound system recently launched on the Fiat Abarth 500 special edition. These two awards, in the luxury flagship Maserati brand and the sporty Abarth brand, show the breadth of the HARMAN portfolio and our ability to satisfy customer needs in all product segments.

Across Asia, HARMAN secured eight new program awards with six different OEMs. In China, HARMAN was awarded the first ever branded audio business with JAC, a major domestic automaker, as well as additional programs with current customers BAIC and Geely. In Japan, our long-term relationships with Subaru (with the Harman/Kardon brand) and Lexus (with the Mark Levinson brand) continue, as HARMAN has been nominated for two replacement platforms with each company. In Korea, the Company continues to expand its portfolio of business with Kia by securing HARMAN’s first branded audio award in the small C-segment SUV platform.

Also during the first quarter, HARMAN launched 56 new consumer audio products at the IFA show in Berlin. At this show, the Harman/Kardon SB30 sound bar was awarded a prestigious EISA award. As a long-time Apple technology partner, HARMAN was selected to participate in the iPhone5 launch showcasing JBL docking stations featuring new 8-pin Lightning connectors. The Company also collaborated with Nokia to launch JBL PowerUp, the first co-branded wireless charging/docking speakers for the Nokia Windows 8 smartphones.

Net sales in the first quarter were $144 million, a decrease of 3 percent, or flat in local currency. On a non-GAAP basis gross margin increased 132 basis points to 38.5 percent of sales. The primary reason for the gross margin improvement was neodymium cost mitigation, new product introductions at price premium and productivity gains. On a non-GAAP basis SG&A and Other expense decreased 145 basis points to 24.7 percent of sales, primarily as a result of productivity improvements within R&D expense.

Professional Division Highlights

In the first quarter, HARMAN equipment was installed in over 13 major venues including the Oakland Arena, Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota, and Houston’s 16,800-seat Lakewood Church. Harman received major contracts for equipment sales to outfit two new FIFA Official Stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

During the quarter, the Company introduced new category-leading signal processing, mixing console, installation loudspeakers and software user interface products. HARMAN’s new integrated audio and visual information delivery solution called IDX is being adopted by a growing number of airport and transit facilities, and the IDX installation at Colombia’s Bogota International Airport was completed.

The increase in first quarter SG&A expense compared to the prior year is primarily due to stock compensation forfeitures recorded in the prior year and investments in global brand marketing.

Harman International has provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures in the table above to provide the users of the financial statements with a better understanding of the Company’s performance. Because changes in currency exchange rates affect our reported financial results, we show the rates of change both including and excluding the effect of these changes in exchange rates. We encourage readers of our financial statements to evaluate our financial performance excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This measurement should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
