CEO Comments
Daniel Bernstein, President and CEO, said, "Good execution from each of our three business units led to substantial growth for Bel in 2018, enabling us to grow our top-line by $56 million and increase our Adjusted EBITDA by over $9 million for the year.
Increased demand for our MagJack® products in support of a key program at one of the world's leading networking equipment providers led to a $24 million increase in sales for our Magnetics Solutions group over 2017 levels. Our Connectivity Solutions group sales were up $16 million from 2017, largely driven by participation in key military programs in encryption and communication applications, coupled with higher demand for our products within commercial aerospace applications. Our Power Solutions and Protection group saw its first year of growth since 2015, as success with our higher-powered AC/DC products in datacenter applications and our 48v power products with telecom customers contributed to a sales increase of $16 million from 2017. Each of our product groups continued to benefit from the commitment we've made to grow our distribution business; our revenue growth reflects a $15 million increase through this channel in 2018. Almost a third of our sales are generated through our distribution partners, and we expect this to remain a key channel for marketing our products going forward."
"We are also pleased to report that the first phase of our ERP system implementation is now complete, as our Bel Power Solutions business went live on the new system in early January 2019 without any notable issues. The other phases of the project will largely leverage Bel's trained internal resources which should result in lower ERP implementation costs going forward, including the elimination of redundant systems. We continue to manage and optimize our operating expenses in order to mitigate the ongoing minimum wage rate increases in the countries in which we operate and the general uncertainty within our industry surrounding tariffs and trade policy. The positive business trends noted along with our recent bookings and year-end backlog level are encouraging indicators for further growth as we head into 2019," concluded Mr. Bernstein.
Financial Summary
All comparative percentages are on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted.
Fourth Quarter 2018 Results
Net Sales
Net sales were $142.7 million, up 19% from last year's fourth quarter.
| · | By geographic segment: Asia was up by 23.2%, Europe sales were higher by 21.7% and North America was up by 15.4%. |
| · | By product group: Magnetic Solutions sales were up by 26.2%, Power Solutions and Protection sales grew by 21.1% and Connectivity Solutions sales were up by 10.4%. |
On a consolidated basis, sales increased by $22.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin increased to 21.3%, from 18.5% in the fourth quarter of 2017, as incremental sales in 2018 led to improved fixed cost absorption, offset in part by higher labor costs during the year. In addition, our gross profit margin during the fourth quarter of 2017 had been impacted by inventory-related charges totaling $2.0 million in connection with maintaining our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses were $22.2 million, up from $21.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in SG&A expenses during the 2018 period primarily related to a $0.9 million reduction in cash surrender value of our company-owned life insurance policies as a result of the declining stock market environment throughout the quarter. We also incurred higher legal and professional fees in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period of 2017.
Operating Income
Operating income was $8.0 million, up from $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, with an operating margin (operating income as a percentage of net sales) of 5.6% compared to 0.8% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to $19.2 million in the same period of 2017. The provision for income taxes during the fourth quarter of 2018 was unfavorably impacted by taxes on foreign earnings (GILTI tax), partially offset by a decrease in the U.S. tax rate from 35% to 21% in 2018. The provision for income taxes in the 2017 period included an $18 million impact from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which was enacted on December 22, 2017. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 37.2% during the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a not meaningful percentage during the same quarter last year.
Net Earnings (Loss)
The above factors resulted in net earnings of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared with a net loss of $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Full Year December 31, 2018 Results
Net Sales
Net sales were $548.2 million, up 11.5% from 2017.
| · | By geographic segment, Europe was up by 14.3%, Asia was higher by 11.6% and North America was up by 10.5%. |
| · | By product group, Magnetic Solutions sales were up by 15.2%, Connectivity Solutions sales were 9.6% higher and Power Solutions and Protection sales were up by 9.9%. |
On a consolidated basis, sales increased by $56.6 million in 2018 compared to 2017, despite a $5.5 million decline in sales related to the sale of our NPS product line within the Power Solutions Business.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin decreased to 20.0%, from 20.8% in 2017, primarily due to an unfavorable fluctuation in the Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. Dollar earlier in 2018. The above-mentioned minimum wage increases in the PRC and an increase in material costs due to supply constraints also had an unfavorable impact on our gross profit margin during the 2018 period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses were $79.9 million, down from $84.7 million in 2017. The reduction in SG&A expenses primarily related to a $5.4 million favorable swing in foreign exchange rates (a gain of $2.6 million in 2018 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $2.8 million in 2017) and a $1.5 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense. These declines were offset by $2.7 million of higher fringe benefit expense in the 2018 period.
Operating Income
Operating income was $29.6 million, up from $17.4 million in 2017, with an operating margin of 5.4% compared to 3.5% in 2017.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $2.9 million in 2018 as compared with $21.5 million during 2017. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 12.3% in 2018, compared to 223.4% in 2017. In addition to the factors noted above for the fourth quarter, the effective tax rate for the 2017 period also included U.S. and foreign taxes accrued for gains recognized on a Bel Fuse legal entity restructuring transaction.
Net Earnings (Loss)
The above factors resulted in net earnings of $20.7 million in 2018 as compared with a net loss of $11.9 million in 2017.
Balance Sheet Data
As of December 31, 2018, working capital was $184.5 million, including $53.9 million of cash and cash equivalents with a current ratio of 2.7-to-1. In comparison, as of December 31, 2017, working capital was $178.8 million, including $69.4 million of cash and cash equivalents with a current ratio of 3.0-to-1. Total debt at December 31, 2018 was $114.2 million as compared to $122.7 million at December 31, 2017, reflecting a decline of $8.5 million primarily due to debt repayments made during 2018.

Actual results could differ materially from Bel's projections. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements are: the market concerns facing our customers; the continuing viability of sectors that rely on our products; the effects of business and economic conditions; difficulties associated with integrating recently acquired companies; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties; product development, commercialization or technological difficulties; the regulatory and trade environment; risks associated with foreign currencies; uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; the market's acceptance of the Company's new products and competitive responses to those new products; the impact of changes to U.S. trade and tariff policies; and the risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP measures identified in this press release as well as in the supplementary information to this press release (Non-GAAP net earnings, Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, and the reader should also consider, income from operations, net earnings, earnings per share and other measures of performance as defined by GAAP as indicators of our performance or profitability. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled captions of other companies due to differences in the method of calculation. We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain unusual or special items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We may use Non-GAAP financial measures to determine performance-based compensation and management believes that this information may be useful to investors.
