Arrow Electronics Achieves Record First Quarter Sales
-- Earnings Significantly Exceed Expectations --
-- Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share of $.76 --
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2010--Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported first quarter 2010 net income of $87.0 million ($.72 and $.71 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $4.24 billion, compared with net income of $26.7 million ($.22 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) on sales of $3.42 billion in the first quarter of 2009.
The company's results for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 include a number of items outlined below that impact their comparability. A complete reconciliation of these items is provided under the heading “Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information.” Excluding those items, on a non-GAAP basis, net income for the quarter ended April 3, 2010 would have been $92.6 million ($.77 and $.76 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) and net income for the quarter ended April 4, 2009 would have been $42.8 million ($.36 per share on both a basic and diluted basis).
“The positive momentum we built during the fourth quarter of 2009 has accelerated into 2010 driving us to a first quarter record level of sales. Our very strong results exceeded our expectations for both sales and earnings per share,” said Michael J. Long, chairman, president, and chief executive officer. “Operating income and return on invested capital almost doubled year over year, while our return on invested capital reached 12.1%.”
“The results this quarter demonstrate the significant operating leverage we have in the business, as operating income growth substantially outpaced sales growth on both a year-over-year and sequential basis,” said Paul J. Reilly, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We have seen a continuation of the improvement in gross margin in our components business, which experienced its second consecutive sequential increase in gross margin and the first year-over-year increase in more than 2 years.”
Global components sales of $3.13 billion increased 33 percent year over year. “We experienced excellent growth across all of our components regions, which resulted in significant year-over-year increases in sales, profitability, and returns. Asia Pacific saw its first $1 billion quarter, which is a milestone achievement for the team, as growth continues to be extremely robust in this region,” Mr. Long said.
Global enterprise computing solutions (“ECS”) sales of $1.11 billion increased 3 percent year over year, marking the first year-over-year increase in sales since the fourth quarter of 2008. “Storage, software, and services again grew at a healthy double-digit rate year over year as customers moved forward with improving their capabilities on existing server infrastructure. We saw strong performance in our solutions segments of virtualization, security, and networking, while industry standard servers also posted year-over-year growth,” said Mr. Long. “We continued to see weakness in the higher margin proprietary server segment, particularly in North America, resulting in a year-over-year decline in sales in this product set,” Mr. Long added.
The company's results for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 include the items outlined below that impact their comparability:
- restructuring, integration, and other charges of $7.4 million ($5.5 million net of related taxes or $.05 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) in 2010 and $24.0 million ($16.1 million net of related taxes or $.13 per share on a both basic and diluted basis) in 2009.
GUIDANCE
“Looking ahead, we believe that total second quarter sales will be between $4.3 and $4.6 billion, with global components sales between $3.2 and $3.3 billion and global enterprise computing solutions sales between $1.1 and $1.3 billion. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding any charges, are expected to be in the range of $.78 to $.86,” said Mr. Reilly.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share, each as adjusted for certain charges, credits and losses that the company believes impact the comparability of its results of operations. These charges, credits and losses arise primarily out of the company’s efficiency enhancement initiatives. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the table below.
The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company’s operating performance and underlying trends in the company’s business because management considers the charges, credits and losses referred to above to be outside the company’s core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company’s financial and operating performance. In addition, the company’s Board of Directors may use this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.
The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or alternative to, operating income, net income and net income per basic and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
