THIRD QUARTER 2013 RECORD RESULTS
REPORTED BY AMPHENOL CORPORATION
Wallingford, Connecticut. October 17, 2013. Amphenol Corporation (NYSE-APH) reported today third quarter 2013 record diluted earnings per share excluding one-time items of $.98 compared to diluted earnings per share of $.90 for the comparable 2012 period. On an as reported basis, diluted earnings per share was $.99. Such per share amount for the 2013 quarter includes a charge for acquisition-related transaction costs of $2.5 million ($2.1 million after tax), or $.01 per share, as well as a benefit of $3.6 million, or $.02 per share, relating to a reduction in tax expense due primarily to the completion of prior year audits. Sales for the third quarter 2013 were a record $1.153 billion compared to $1.103 billion for the 2012 period. Currency translation had the effect of increasing sales by approximately $7.9 million in the third quarter 2013 compared to the 2012 period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, diluted earnings per share was $2.88 on an as reported basis and $2.80 excluding one-time items, compared to $2.53 for the comparable 2012 period. The 2013 period includes one-time items totaling $.08, including the $.01 net benefit in the third quarter described above and a $.07 one-time tax benefit recorded in the first quarter. The income tax benefit in the first quarter related primarily to the delay by the U. S. government in the reinstatement of certain federal income tax provisions for the year 2012 relating primarily to research and development credits and certain U.S. taxes on foreign income. Such tax provisions were reinstated on January 2, 2013 with retroactive effect to 2012. Under U.S. GAAP, the related benefit to the Company of $11 million, or $.07 per share, relating to the 2012 tax year was recorded as a one-time benefit in the first quarter of 2013 at the date of reinstatement. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $3.369 billion compared to $3.146 billion for the 2012 period. Currency translation had the effect of increasing sales by approximately $7.9 million for the nine month 2013 period compared to the 2012 period.
Amphenol President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Adam Norwitt, stated “We are pleased to report record third quarter sales of $1.153 billion and EPS, excluding one-time items, of $.98, up 5% and 9% over the comparable 2012 quarter. The sales growth over last year was driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in the commercial aerospace, automotive, broadband, industrial and information technology and data communications markets, which was partially offset by a decrease in sales to the mobile device market. For the nine months of 2013, sales were up 7% over last year with good contributions from most of our served markets. Our strong growth is further confirmation of the significant
benefits of the Company’s technology leadership and diversification. In addition, it is extremely rewarding that the Company’s unique entrepreneurial culture continues to drive an unwavering focus on profitability, resulting in an operating margin improvement of 20 basis points over the prior year quarter to 19.7%, before one-time items, driving strong 9% EPS growth and record EPS, before one-time items, of $.98 in the quarter. These results are a direct result of our management team’s ability to react quickly in a dynamic environment, especially given the continuing high levels of uncertainty in most of the world’s economies. I am very proud of our organization as we continue to execute well.”
“Our ongoing strategy of market and geographic diversification combined with our strong commitment to developing enabling technologies for our customers in all markets, both through organic product development and through our acquisition program, continues to expand the Company’s growth opportunities. Consistent with that strategy, in October, the Company completed the acquisition of Ionix Aerospace Ltd, a U.K.-based high technology cable assembly company focused primarily on the commercial aerospace market with annual sales of approximately $35 million. This acquisition expands the Company’s presence in a very important and growing technology area. In addition to our successful acquisition program, the Company continues to deploy its financial strength in a variety of ways to increase shareholder value, including, in this quarter, the purchase of 1.5 million shares of the Company’s stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan.”
“There remains a great deal of volatility in the global economy and, in particular, growing levels of uncertainty driven by increasing political and fiscal constraints both in the U.S. and abroad. Accordingly, and assuming current currency exchange rates, we expect fourth quarter 2013 revenues in the range of $1.146 billion to $1.171 billion and diluted EPS in the range of $.96 to $.99. For the year 2013, we now expect to achieve revenues and diluted EPS in the range of $4.515 billion to $4.540 billion and $3.76 to $3.79 (excluding one-time items), respectively, an increase of 5% to 6% over 2012 revenues and 8% to 9% over 2012 diluted EPS (excluding one-time items). This compares to prior full year 2013 guidance for revenues and diluted EPS in the range of $4.490 billion to $4.540 billion and $3.73 to $3.79 (excluding one-time items), respectively. Despite the many uncertainties in the global economy, we believe we can perform well in the dynamic electronics marketplace due to our leading technology, increasing positions with our customers in diverse markets, worldwide presence, lean cost structure, and agile, experienced and entrepreneurial management team.”
“The electronics revolution continues to accelerate, with new applications and higher performance requirements driving increased demand for our leading interconnect technologies in all of our end markets. This creates a significant, long-term growth opportunity for Amphenol. Importantly, our ongoing actions to enhance our competitive advantages and build sustained financial strength have created a solid base for future performance. I am confident in the ability of our outstanding management team to dynamically adjust to the constantly changing market environment, to continue to generate strong profitability and to further capitalize on the many opportunities to expand our market position.”
