LITTELFUSE REPORTSSECOND QUARTER RESULTS
CHICAGO, July 30, 2014–Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) today reported sales and earnings for the second quarter of 2014 and announced a 14% increase in the quarterly cash dividend.
Second Quarter Highlights
| ● | Sales for the second quarter of 2014 were $220.9 million, an 18% increase compared to the prior-year quarter. This strong sales performance was due to double-digit organic growth for both automotive and electronics as well as the Hamlin and SymCom acquisitions, partially offset by continued weakness in the electrical business. Excluding acquisitions, sales increased 7% compared to the prior year. |
| ● | On a GAAP basis, second quarter 2014 earnings were $1.08 per diluted share. This included $3.6 million of special operating items including severance charges resulting from restructuring at the Hamlin-Mexico plant and purchase accounting charges related to the SymCom acquisition. In addition, there was a non-operating foreign exchange loss of $2.4 million due primarily to balance sheet revaluation in the Philippines. Excluding these special items, earnings for the second quarter of 2014 were $1.26 per diluted share. |
| ● | Earnings for the second quarter of 2014 were negatively impacted by higher scrap and obsolete inventory charges of approximately $1.9 million and a $2.3 million increase in stock compensation expense compared to the first quarter of 2014. The additional scrap and obsolete inventory charges were primarily the result of quality and performance issues at one of our North American plants as well as the downturn in the company’s mining business. The increase in stock compensation expense in the second quarter relates to technical accounting issues and will return to more normal levels in the third quarter. |
| ● | Sales trends by business unit were as follows: |
| o | Electronics sales increased 20% year over year due to strong growth across all product lines and the addition of the Hamlin electronic sensor business. Excluding acquisitions, electronics sales increased 13% compared to the prior year. |
-more-
| o | Automotive sales increased 27% year over year reflecting continued strong growth for passenger car fuses and Accel sensors, solid performance for commercial vehicle products and the acquisition of Hamlin. Excluding acquisitions, automotive sales increased 15% compared to the prior year. |
| o | Electrical sales declined 9% year over year due to the sharp decline in the mining market and a weak quarter for electrical fuses, partially offset by the acquisition of SymCom. Excluding acquisitions, electrical sales declined 26% compared to the prior year. |
| ● | The electronics book-to-bill ratio for the second quarter of 2014 was 1.08. |
| ● | Cash provided by operating activities was $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $23.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2014 were $6.7 million compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. |
| ● | The company repurchased 161,751 shares of its common stock in the second quarter of 2014 at an average price of $88.30. The company has 838,249 shares left on its current share repurchase authorization which is effective through April 30, 2015. |
| ● | In the second quarter, the company restructured its labor contracts at the Hamlin-Mexico plant. This resulted in a one-time charge of $2.0 million for severance, as employees had to be terminated and re-hired under a new contract. This is expected to result in savings of approximately $1.5 million annually beginning in the third quarter. |
“The positive top-line trends in our automotive and electronics businesses continued through the second quarter,” said Gordon Hunter, Chief Executive Officer. “On the other hand, the electrical segment had its challenges as weakness in the mining sector continues, and electrical fuse sales declined in the second quarter after six consecutive quarters of growth.”
“Despite achieving our sales forecast for the second quarter, we did not see the expected margin improvement,” said Phil Franklin, Chief Financial Officer. “Improved electronics margins were offset by margin declines in automotive and electrical. However, several of the factors that depressed margins in the second quarter have either been corrected or are believed to be non-recurring, and therefore margins are expected to improve significantly in the third quarter.”
Outlook
| ● | Sales for the third quarter of 2014 are expected to be in the range of $215 to $225 million which represents 9% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. |
| ● | Operating margin for the third quarter (excluding special items) is expected to improve by 150 to 200 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2014 due primarily to lower stock compensation expense and reduced scrap and obsolete inventory charges. |
-more-
| ● | Earnings for the third quarter of 2014 are expected to be in the range of $1.29 to $1.43 per diluted share. |
| ● | Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $35 million for the year. |
Dividend
The Board has approved a 14% increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.22 to $0.25. This dividend is payable on September 4, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2014.
“Since the dividend was initiated in 2010, we have increased it at a compound annual growth rate of 14%,” said Franklin.
