ARROW ELECTRONICS REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER NON-GAAP EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $1.43
-- Margins Expand Over Prior Year --
-- Cash Flow from Operations of $159 Million --
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- July 29, 2014 -- Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported second-quarter 2014 net income of $127.9 million, or $1.27 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $89.9 million, or $.86 per share on a diluted basis in the second quarter of 2013. Excluding certain items1 in the second quarters of both 2014 and 2013, net income would have been $144.3 million, or $1.43 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with net income of $124.0 million, or $1.19 per share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2013. Second-quarter sales of $5.68 billion increased 7 percent from sales of $5.31 billion in the prior year. Sales, as adjusted, increased 1 percent year over year.
“We delivered strong results in the second quarter as we continued to accomplish our strategic objectives. Earnings per share of $1.43 and sales of $5.7 billion were above the midpoints of our guidance. Global components, as well as the software and services portions of enterprise computing solutions, again delivered growth. Business conditions for the hardware portion of enterprise computing solutions improved from the first quarter as we anticipated,” said Michael J. Long, chairman, president, and chief executive officer.
Global components second-quarter sales of $3.57 billion increased 5 percent year over year. Sales in that segment, as adjusted, grew 2 percent year over year. Americas components sales increased 2 percent year over year. European components sales grew 9 percent year over year, or 3 percent as adjusted, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth for the region on an as-adjusted basis. Components sales in the Asia-Pacific region increased 5 percent year over year.
Global enterprise computing solutions second-quarter sales of $2.11 billion grew 10 percent year over year. Sales in that segment, as adjusted, declined 1 percent year over year. The Americas and Europe continued to experience growth in infrastructure, security and virtualization software product lines, offset by a decline in proprietary servers.
“With $159 million in cash flow from operations in the second quarter, we again meaningfully exceeded our cash flow target,” said Paul J. Reilly, executive vice president, finance and operations, and chief financial officer. “The highly effective management of our balance sheet and related strong cash flow provided us with the opportunity to both deploy capital toward our strategic initiatives and return approximately $50 million to shareholders through our stock repurchase program.”
SIX-MONTH RESULTS
Arrow’s net income for the first six months of 2014 was $235.0 million, or $2.33 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income of $167.8 million, or $1.58 per share on a diluted basis in the first six months of 2013. Excluding certain items1 in both the first six months of 2014 and 2013, net income would have been $268.3 million, or $2.66 per share on a diluted basis, in the first six months of 2014 compared with net income of $227.1 million, or $2.14 per share on a diluted basis, in the first six months of 2013. In the first six months of 2014, sales of $10.76 billion increased 6 percent from sales of $10.16 billion in the first six months of 2013.
1 A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures including sales, as adjusted, operating income, as adjusted, net income attributable to shareholders, as adjusted, and net income per share, as adjusted to GAAP financial measures is presented in the reconciliation tables included herein.
GUIDANCE
“As we look to the third quarter, we would expect market conditions for our global components and enterprise computing solutions businesses to remain consistent with the second quarter. We believe that total sales will be between $5.25 billion and $5.65 billion, with global components sales between $3.55 billion and $3.75 billion and global enterprise computing solutions sales between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion. As a result of this outlook, we expect earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding any charges to be in the range of $1.26 to $1.38 per share. Our guidance assumes an average tax rate in the range of 27 to 29 percent, and average diluted shares outstanding are expected to be 100 million,” said Mr. Reilly.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements that are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: industry conditions, the company's implementation of its new enterprise resource planning system, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the global components and global enterprise computing solutions markets, changes in relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, the effects of additional actions taken to become more efficient or lower costs, risks related to the integration of acquired businesses, changes in legal and regulatory matters, and the company’s ability to generate additional cash flow. Forward-looking statements are those statements, which are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by forward-looking words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions. Shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the forward-looking statements.
For a further discussion of factors to consider in connection with these forward-looking statements, investors should refer to Item 1A Risk Factors of the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2014, as well as the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the company also provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to sales, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share. The company provides sales on a non-GAAP basis adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies and the impact of acquisitions by adjusting the company's prior periods to include the sales of businesses acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented (referred to as "impact of acquisitions"). Operating income, net income attributable to shareholders, and net income per basic and diluted share are adjusted for certain charges, credits, gains, and losses that the company believes impact the comparability of its results of operations. These charges, credits, gains, and losses arise out of the company’s efficiency enhancement initiatives, acquisitions (including intangible assets amortization expense), prepayment of debt, and adjustments related to certain tax matters. A reconciliation of the company’s non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the tables 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 these items 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, sales, 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.
