HARMAN Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Results

STAMFORD, CT, May 1, 2014 – Harman International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE: HAR), the leading global infotainment and audio group, today announced results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Net sales for the third quarter were $1.404 billion, an increase of 32 percent compared to the same period last year, as all three of the Company’s divisions reported increased sales. Infotainment net sales were up due to higher automotive production and take rates. Lifestyle growth was driven by one large order from a mobile telecommunications customer and accelerated sales of new products launched earlier in the year in the home and multimedia business, and an increase in automotive production in the car audio business. Professional net sales increased as a result of the expansion of the Company’s product portfolio into lighting.

On a GAAP basis, third quarter operating income was $101 million, compared to $38 million in the same period last year, and earnings per diluted share were $1.05 for the quarter compared to $0.50. Excluding restructuring and non-recurring charges, third quarter non-GAAP operating income was $108 million, compared to $66 million in the same period last year. On the same non-GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $1.12 for the quarter compared to $0.79 in the same period last year.

“We are extremely pleased that, for the third consecutive quarter, all three of our divisions reported double-digit top-line growth, facilitating a 42 percent improvement in EBITDA,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO. “In our automotive businesses, we are capitalizing on robust demand for an embedded connected car experience and a more favorable production environment. There is pent up demand, particularly in Europe, which we expect will stabilize in the coming quarters. In our other businesses, we continue to gain traction with our award-winning innovative products and the expansion of our distribution channels globally. As a result of our continued success and the current positive trends in automotive industry, we have increased our revenue and EPS forecast for a second time this year.”

Summary of Operations – Gross Margin and SG&A

Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 43 basis points to 26.1 percent. The improvement was primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume on fixed production costs and favorable product mix in the Infotainment Division, partially offset by lower gross margin in the Lifestyle Division due to a change in product mix.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, SG&A and Other expense as a percentage of net sales decreased 103 basis points to 18.4 percent on a non-GAAP basis. The improvement was primarily related to operating leverage from higher sales.

Fiscal 2014 Outlook

HARMAN today raised its financial outlook for fiscal 2014. The Company now forecasts global revenue of ~$5.275 billion, non-GAAP EBITDA of ~$550 million and earnings per share of ~$4.36.

APPENDIX

Infotainment Division

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $736 million, an increase of 29 percent compared to the prior year, or 26 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in sales was due to higher automotive production, the expansion of the Company’s recent production launches across car lines, and higher take rates.

On a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin increased 244 basis points to 21.7 percent compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of improved leverage on fixed production costs, benefits from footprint migration restructuring initiatives, and an increased mix of scalable infotainment systems. SG&A spending decreased 45 basis points to 13.1 percent of net sales primarily due to improved operating leverage on higher sales.

Infotainment Division Highlights

During the quarter, HARMAN expanded recent platform launches across additional car lines, secured new business awards, and successfully commenced production on new programs globally.

BMW expanded the NBT infotainment system across additional car lines. In addition, Daimler extended the NTG5 infotainment solution previously launched in the Mercedes S-Class flagship vehicle into their C- and V-Class vehicles.

Lifestyle Division

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $468 million, an increase of 43 percent compared to same period in the prior year. The growth in the home and multimedia business was primarily due to one large order from a mobile telecommunications customer and accelerated sales of new products launched earlier in the year.

On a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin decreased by 238 basis points to 27.9 percent compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a higher proportion of revenue coming from the home and multimedia business versus the higher margin car audio business. SG&A expense as a percentage of sales decreased by 197 basis points to 16.6 percent primarily due to improved operating leverage.

Lifestyle Division Highlights

The Lifestyle Division continued to gain momentum with its award-winning home and multimedia and car audio solutions. During the quarter, HARMAN entered into an agreement with Softbank (Japan), including its subsidiaries Sprint (U.S.A.), Trikomsel (Indonesia), and Brightstar (worldwide).
