Anaren Reports 4th Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anaren, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANEN) today reported net sales for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter ended June 30, 2013 of $42.3 million, up 10.9% from $38.2 million for the fourth quarter of last year.

GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.4 million, up 15.2% from $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of last year. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.25, up 25% from diluted earnings per share of $0.20 for the fourth quarter of last year.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, excluding non-cash equity based compensation and intangible asset amortization, was $0.30 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, up 15.4% compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.26 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Both GAAP and Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 were reduced by a one-time unfavorable adjustment of approximately $0.4 million, net of tax, or $(0.03) per diluted share resulting from an accrued charge for possible losses related to a bankruptcy filing (Chapter 11) by a current vendor.

GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.1 million, or 9.8% of net sales, up 15.7% from $3.6 million, or 9.4% of net sales for the fourth quarter of last year. Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, which excludes non-cash equity based compensation and intangible asset amortization, was $5.2 million, or 12.2% of net sales, up 6.5% from $4.9 million, or 12.7% of net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Both GAAP and non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 were reduced by the one-time unfavorable adjustment of approximately $0.6 million, or 1.4% of net sales, resulting from the previously mentioned vendor bankruptcy filing.

Income taxes for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 were $0.9 million, representing an effective tax rate of 20.2% compared to income tax expense of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, representing an effective tax rate of 22.6%. The projected effective tax rate for fiscal 2014, absent one-time events, is expected to be 27%.

Lawrence A. Sala, Anaren's Chairman, President and CEO said, "The growth in net sales for the quarter was driven by both the Space & Defense and Wireless Groups. The Space & Defense Group business is benefiting from a growing percentage of Space related business and increasing demand for radar related technology. Wireless demand improved during the quarter and customer forecasts indicate strengthening worldwide demand for cellular infrastructure equipment. For the year, GAAP net income increased 75% on 7.5% growth in net sales and we believe that we are well positioned for continued growth and improved profitability in fiscal 2014."

Net sales for the year ended June 30, 2013, were $158.4 million, up 7.5% compared to net sales of $147.3 million for last year. GAAP net income for fiscal 2013 was $15.1 million, up 75% compared to $8.6 million for fiscal 2012. On a per share basis, GAAP diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2013 was $1.13, up 92% from diluted earnings per share of $0.59 for last year.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which excludes non-cash equity based compensation and intangible amortization, was $1.36 for fiscal 2013, up 68% compared to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.81 for fiscal 2012.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company generated $10.9 million in operating cash flow compared to $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Additionally, during the quarter the Company expended $1.5 million for capital additions and had non-operating cash receipts of $1.4 million from the exercise of stock options. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company did not purchased any additional treasury shares under the current buyback authorization. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities were $53.6 million at June 30, 2013, up $10.9 million from March 31, 2013 and at June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding debt.

Wireless Group

Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were $12.8 million, down 4.3% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, and up 6.7% sequentially, due primarily to rising infrastructure component customer demand. Demand from Wireless infrastructure customers has increased in recent quarters and current forecasts indicate increased demand levels for fiscal 2014.

New product investments for the quarter continued to be focused on expansion of the wireless infrastructure components and low power wireless Anaren Integrated Radio (AIR) module product lines. The Company continues to see an increasing number of AIR related design wins and new customers transitioning to volume production.

Customers that generated greater than 10% of Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were Arrow Electronics, Richardson and Huawei.

Space & Defense Group

Space & Defense Group net sales for the quarter were $29.6 million, up 19.1% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The sales increase was highlighted by rising Low-temperature Co-fired Ceramic ("LTCC") product sales generated by our Salem Ceramics subsidiary. The Group also experienced continued improvement in operational execution, despite a less favorable product mix during the current quarter which resulted in higher profitability for the Group compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

New orders for the quarter totaled $28.2 million which were driven by numerous space, radar and electronic warfare applications. Space & Defense Group order backlog at June 30, 2013 was approximately $96.3 million.  

Customers that generated greater than 10% of Space & Defense Group net sales for the quarter were Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, Anaren's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures including: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These non-GAAP measures are each adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain non-cash items including equity based compensation and intangible asset amortization.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to help understand and compare business trends among reporting periods on a consistent basis. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measurements are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we anticipate comparable sales for the Wireless Group and lower sales for the Space & Defense Group compared to the fourth quarter levels as Space & Defense Group LTCC product sales are anticipated to decline due to a one quarter gap in production on a new multi-year program. As a result, we expect net sales to be in the range of $38 to $42 million. We expect GAAP net earnings to be in the range of $0.25 - $0.31 per diluted share for the first quarter.

Non-GAAP net earnings, which are inclusive of approximately $0.05 -$0.06 per diluted share related to expected equity based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles assets, are expected to be in the range of $0.30 - $0.36 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
