MOLEX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

Lisle, Illinois – August 7, 2013 — Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA), a global electronic components company, today reported results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Fourth Quarter Results

	Three Months Ended
	Jun 30,		Mar 31,		Jun 30,
USD millions, except per share data	2013		2013		2012
Net revenue	$	882.9	$	852.9	$	858.5
Net income		57.1		44.8		72.0
Earnings per share		0.32		0.25		0.40

Net revenue for the June 2013 quarter was $882.9 million, an increase of 3.5% from the March 2013 quarter and an increase of 2.8% from the June 2012 quarter. In local currencies, net revenue increased 5.1% compared with the March 2013 quarter and 4.7% compared with the June 2012 quarter. Orders for the June 2013 quarter were $880.0 million, a decrease of 3.2% and 2.3% from the March 2013 quarter and the June 2012 quarter, respectively.

Net income for the June 2013 quarter was $57.1 million or $0.32 per share, compared with $44.8 million, or $0.25 per share, for the March 2013 quarter and $72.0 million, or $0.40 per share, for the June 2012 quarter. Net income for the June 2013 quarter was impacted by additional tax expense of $1.7 million ($0.01 per share) reflecting a reduction in the future tax benefit of deferred tax assets in Korea due to a tax incentive granted to one of our plants. Net income for the March 2013 and June 2012 quarters also was impacted by costs related to unauthorized activities in Japan as outlined below.

“Revenue in all end markets grew sequentially, except for the mobile devices market which remained weak throughout the quarter. We expect tablet and mobile phone production to increase during the September quarter as our customers roll-out new products in time for the holidays,” stated Martin P. Slark, Chief Executive Officer. “We are also encouraged by an improving order rate in most end markets, signaling better growth in the second half of the year.”

Other financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2013:

• The book-to-bill ratio for the June quarter was 1 to 1 compared with 1.07 to 1 for the March 2013 quarter and 1.05 to 1 for the June 2012 quarter.

• Capital expenditures were $58.9 million or 6.7% of revenue.

Outlook

Based upon current order rates and customer backlog, the Company estimates net revenue in the range of $890 to $930 million for the September 2013 quarter. At this level of net revenue, the Company expects earnings per share in the range of $0.35 to $0.39, assuming constant foreign currency rates, unchanged commodity prices and an effective tax rate in the range of 30% to 32%.

Full Fiscal Year Results

	Twelve Months Ended
	Jun 30,		Jun 30,
USD millions, except per share data	2013		2012
Net revenue	$	3,620.4	$	3,489.2
Net income		243.6		281.4
Earnings per share		1.36		1.59

Net revenue for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was $3.6 billion, a 3.8% increase from the prior fiscal year. Net revenue in local currencies increased 5.4% from the prior fiscal year. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $243.6 million or $1.36 per share, compared with net income of $281.4 million or $1.59 per share in the prior fiscal year. These periods also include costs related to unauthorized activities in Japan as outlined below. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was 30.1%.

“Revenue for fiscal 2013 increased 3.8% despite a difficult economic environment, due to our diverse end-market and customer exposure, technology leadership and global reach,” commented Martin P. Slark. “Going forward, we expect these attributes to drive above market growth and earnings expansion. Cash flow was also very strong for the year, which allowed us to increase our dividend again.”

Japan Litigation Settlement

As previously announced on February 15, 2013, Molex and Mizuho Bank settled litigation regarding previously reported unauthorized loans. Net income in the March 2013 quarter was impacted by a pretax charge of $21.2 million ($13.5 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share) largely for interest expense and legal fees. Net income for the June 2012 quarter was impacted by a pretax charge of $3.1 million ($2.0 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share) largely for legal fees. For the full years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, net income was impacted by pretax charges of $25.4 million ($16.2 million after-tax, or $0.09 per share) and $11.3 million ($7.2 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share), respectively.
