Avnet Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results

 

Phoenix, August 10, 2016 - Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:AVT) today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 ended July 2, 2016.

 

Q4 Fiscal 2016 Results

·

Sales of $6.2 billion, down 8% year over year and consistent with outlook

·

Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.86; diluted earnings per share of $0.75

·

Repurchased $46.8 million in stock, paid $21.6 million in dividends

·

Announced cash offer to acquire Premier Farnell plc

 

In the June quarter, our Technology Solutions (TS) group delivered seasonal sequential growth while Electronics Marketing (EM) sequential growth was below our normal seasonal range. Even with the year-over-year decline in revenue, our gross profit margin increased and our Avnet Advantage program resulted in $70 million of annual expense reduction exiting fiscal 2016,” said Bill Amelio, interim CEO of Avnet. “Moving forward, we are defining a clear strategy that leverages our strengths, and we are focusing on accelerating growth, taking cost out of the business and delivering services that will add value for our partners.”

 

Amelio further added, “We have also increased the pace of some of our strategic investments as we focus on building and enhancing our global capabilities. Our recent offer to acquire Premier Farnell is one example of how we aim to strengthen our digital footprint worldwide. With disciplined execution against our priorities, we can drive sustained growth over time.”

Year-over-year sales growth rate excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A discussion on the impact of foreign currency on the Company’s results of operations, the definition of organic sales and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information is attached as exhibit 99.2 (“Exhibit 99.2”) to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on August 10, 2016.

 


 

 

·

The year-over-year decline in adjusted operating income was driven by the decline in revenue and increased expenses related to the ERP implementation in the Americas region at Electronics Marketing

 

Cash Flow and Returns to Shareholders

·

Cash used for operations was $72.8 million in the June quarter

·

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter was $1.03 billion; net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $1.46 billion

·

During the June quarter, the Company repurchased 1.2 million shares at a cost of $46.8 million, and entering fiscal 2017 the Company had $174.9 million remaining under the current repurchase authorization

·

The Company paid a dividend of $0.17 per share or $21.6 million during the quarter

 

“We used cash this quarter as EM built inventory in support of the ERP implementation in the Americas and our accounts payable declined as our fiscal calendar ended after the calendar quarter,” said Kevin Moriarty, CFO of Avnet. “Our balance sheet remains strong as we have over $1 billion of cash on hand and approximately $1.2 billion of available liquidity under our credit facility and accounts receivable securitization program. 

 

Moriarty added, “With dedicated financing already committed for the Premier Farnell offer, we are well positioned to complete the acquisition and make investments that will transform our business to satisfy the needs of our customers and suppliers around the world.”

·

Working capital (defined as receivables plus inventories less accounts payables) increased 17.1% from the year ago quarter driven by an increase in inventory to support the ERP implementation in the Americas region at EM and a decrease in accounts payable driven by our fiscal calendar, which ended after the calendar quarter in fiscal 2016 as opposed to before the calendar quarter in fiscal 2015

Outlook for First Quarter of Fiscal 2017 Ending on October 1, 2016

 

·

Avnet sales are expected to be in the range of $5.8 billion to  $6.4 billion

·

EM sales are expected to be in the range of $3.9 billion to $4.2 billion and TS sales are expected to be in the range of $1.9 billion to $2.2 billion.

·

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.84 to $0.94 per share

·

The guidance assumes 130 million average diluted shares outstanding and an adjusted tax rate of 26% to 30%

 

The above guidance excludes any acquisitions, the amortization of intangibles,  any potential restructuring, integration and other expenses and certain income tax adjustments. In addition, the above guidance assumes that the average U.S. Dollar to Euro currency exchange rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is $1.11 to 1.00. This compares with an average exchange rate of $1.11 to 1.00 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and $1.13 to 1.00 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

 

In alignment with Avnet’s goal to build a global embedded solutions business, Avnet transferred a portion of its embedded computing solutions business to EM Americas from TS Americas at the beginning of fiscal 2017. As a result of this transfer, approximately $450 million of annual revenue that had been previously reported in TS will be included within EM beginning in fiscal 2017. Therefore, the above guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 takes into account the transfer from TS to EM of approximately $100 million. When adjusted for this transfer and the impact of foreign currency, the midpoint of guidance for EM and TS would represent sequential growth rates of +1% and -5%, respectively, as compared with a normal seasonal range of -2% to +2% for EM and -10% to -5% for TS.

 

Refer to Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2016, for a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance.
