Almelo, the Netherlands – April 29, 2014 - Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. (NYSE: ST) (the “Company”) announces results of its operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Highlights of the First Quarter ended March 31, 2014
Net revenue for the first quarter 2014 was $551.6 million, an increase of $81.2 million, or 17.3%, from Net revenue for the first quarter 2013 of $470.4 million.
Net income for the first quarter 2014 was $68.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share including acquisition integration costs of $2.7 million. This compares to Net income of $34.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013.
Adjusted net income1 for the first quarter 2014 was $98.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, which was 17.8% of Net revenue. This compares to Adjusted net income1 for the first quarter 2013 of $86.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, which was 18.4% of Net revenue.
"We are off to a good start in 2014 as the team's execution drove better-than-expected net revenue growth and solid earnings performance," said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “For the balance of the year we believe Sensata can achieve double-digit Net revenue growth.”
The Company spent $36.2 million, or 6.5% of Net revenue, on research, development and engineering related costs in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 22.3% over the first quarter of
1
2013 to fund growth initiatives. These costs reside in both the Cost of revenue and the Research and development lines of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s ending cash balance at March 31, 2014 was $334.1 million. During the first quarter, the Company generated cash of $105.4 million from operations, used cash of $83.2 million in investing activities and used cash of $6.1 million in financing activities.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $8.1 million for the first quarter 2014. Approximately $7.5 million of the provision, or 5.9% of Adjusted EBIT, related to taxes that are payable in cash and approximately $0.6 million related to deferred income tax expense and other income tax expense.
The Company’s total indebtedness at March 31, 2014 was $1.7 billion. The Company’s Net debt2 was $1.4 billion resulting in a Net leverage ratio2 of 2.5X. Standard and Poor's recently upgraded its corporate rating on the Company and the ratings on the Company's outstanding bond issues to BB+ and the rating on the Company's outstanding term loan to BBB.
In February 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $250.0 million share buyback program. During the first quarter, we repurchased 0.3 million ordinary shares under this and its predecessor program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.3 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted net income as follows: net income before costs associated with debt refinancing and other financing activities, unrealized (gain)/loss on other hedges and (gain)/loss on currency remeasurement on debt, depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory, deferred income tax and other tax expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, restructuring and special charges, and other costs. The Company believes Adjusted net income provides investors with helpful information with respect to the performance of the Company’s operations and management uses Adjusted net income to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted net income is not a measure of liquidity. See the tables below which reconcile Net income to Adjusted net income and Projected GAAP earnings per share to Projected Adjusted net income per share.
The following unaudited table reconciles the Company’s Net income to Adjusted net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company’s definition of Adjusted net income includes the current tax expense (benefit) that will be payable (realized) on the Company’s income tax return and excludes deferred income tax and other tax expense. As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense as an adjustment to compute Adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items would not change Adjusted net income for each period presented. The theoretical current income tax expense/(benefit)associated with the reconciling items above would be as follows: Amortization and depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory: $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; Restructuring and special charges: $0.0 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
