(1) The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this press release exclude certain amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP results exclude after-tax intangibles amortization, results from divestitures, restructuring and other charges. The Company recorded intangible amortization expense of $14.6 million and $29.3 million during the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and $8.7 million and $17.3 million during the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The Company also recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $50.3 million and $83.0 million during the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and $33.5 million and $57.1 million during the three- and six-month periods ended September 2004, respectively, which were primarily related to the closures and consolidations of various manufacturing facilities. The Company also recorded a $15.0 million bad debt reserve in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 associated with accounts receivable from Delphi, who recently filed for bankruptcy. The divestiture of the Semiconductor and Network Services operations resulted in a pre-tax gain of $70.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The tax impacts related to all of these items and other non-operational tax adjustments amounted to $94.5 million and $88.1 million of tax expense during the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and a tax benefit of $36.3 million and $64.6 million during the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The reconciliation of non-GAAP results to GAAP results is illustrated in Schedules I and II attached to this press release.
Second Quarter 2006 Results
Net sales for the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $3.9 billion compared to $4.1 billion in the year ago quarter.
Excluding intangibles amortization, restructuring and other charges, net income for the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased 3% to $101.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $98.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. After-tax amortization, restructuring and other charges amounted to $103.8 million in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to $5.9 million in the year ago quarter, resulting in a GAAP net loss of $2.4 million, or nil earnings per diluted share in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to net income of $92.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the year ago quarter.
Return on Invested Tangible Capital (“ROITC”) increased to 27% in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 24% in the year ago quarter. The Company’s cash conversion cycle decreased to 16 days in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 20 days in the previous sequential quarter. Excluding intangibles amortization, restructuring and other charges, operating margin increased 20 basis points to 3.4% in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 3.2% in the year ago quarter, representing the 8th consecutive quarter of year-over-year operating margin improvement.
The Company ended the quarter with a record high $1.2 billion in cash, up from $830 million at the end of the previous sequential quarter. Total debt has decreased by $197 million since the end of the previous sequential quarter. Net debt amounted to $439 million at the end of the September 2005 quarter and has been reduced by $517 million since the end of the previous sequential quarter. Free cash flow, which is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, generated $327 million in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005, which closely approximated the $339 million used to fund acquisitions during the quarter. The previously announced divestitures of the Network Services and Semiconductor divisions generated $519 million, which closely approximated the $197 million reduction in debt and the $320 million increase in cash in the second quarter ended September 30, 2005.
With regard to the September quarter operating results, Michael E. Marks, Chief Executive of Flextronics stated, “We are extremely pleased with our working capital management and cash flows for the quarter. To this end, we are pleased that we were able to reduce our cash conversion cycle to 16 days from 20 days in the previous quarter. Our cash also increased by $320 million and our debt decreased by $197 million from the end of the previous quarter while our cash flow from operations of $381 million was sufficient to fund our capital expansion and acquisition activity during the quarter. We were also able to increase operating margins for the eighth consecutive quarter on a year-over-year basis.”
As previously announced, Flextronics merged its Network Services division with Telavie, a company wholly-owned by Altor 2003 Fund, a Nordic private equity firm. Flextronics received an upfront cash payment along with deferred and contingent payments, and has retained a 30% ownership stake in the merged company. Flextronics has also sold its semiconductor division to AMIS Holdings, the parent company of AMI Semiconductor. Both divestitures closed during the September 2005 quarter. Flextronics received cash payments of $519 million in the quarter for these divestitures which resulted in a pretax gain of $71 million. In connection with these
divestitures, the Company recognized a non-cash tax expense of $99 million associated with the utilization of deferred tax assets, resulting in an after-tax non-cash loss of $28 million.
Marks concluded by saying, “Our year-over-year revenue comparisons are adversely impacted by the divestitures of our Network Services and Semiconductor divisions along with the impact from two European OEM customers divesting their cell phone businesses during the past year. We expect the December 2005 quarter revenue comparison to be the last quarter adversely impacted by these customer actions.”
Guidance
Management provided guidance for quarterly earnings per diluted share (excluding amortization, restructuring and other charges) of $0.18 to $0.20 on revenues of $4.0 billion to $4.2 billion for the December 2005 quarter. The Company also provided guidance for its March 2006 quarter of earnings per diluted share (excluding amortization, restructuring and other items) of $0.16 to $0.18 on revenues of $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion. Quarterly GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be lower than the guidance provided herein by approximately $0.03 per diluted share reflecting quarterly amortization expense. The timing and amount of restructuring and other charges cannot be estimated.
