On a GAAP basis, revenues for the quarter totaled $487.7 million, down $19.8 million, or 3.9%, compared to $507.5 million in the first quarter 2013. Gross profit margin in the first quarter was 36.0%, increasing 300 basis points from 33.0% in the year-ago period.

John Stroup, President and CEO of Belden Inc., said, “Despite a reduction in revenue, due to difficult prior year comparisons and unforeseen adjustments in channel inventory, I’m pleased with gross margin expansion of 160 basis points. I’m especially proud of the results of our Broadcast platform that benefitted from leverage on strong growth.”
Outlook
“We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of Grass Valley, and we have incorporated the expected financial benefits into our Q2 and full year outlook. The benefits of our Lean Enterprise initiative are also included in our updated guidance. Shorter lead times allow our channel partners to operate effectively with reduced inventory levels. Additionally, we’ve identified opportunities to improve our SG&A cost structure, and we intend to execute this plan quickly. This will have a favorable impact to our results in the second half of 2014, continuing through 2015,” said Mr. Stroup.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited)
We define free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposal of tangible assets and non-recurring tax payments related to divestitures and settlement of a tax sharing agreement. We believe free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases. We use free cash flow, as defined, as one financial measure to monitor and evaluate performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only in conjunction with financial measures reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our definition of free cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited)
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we provide non-GAAP operating results adjusted for certain items, including: purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value; revenue and cost of sales deferrals for acquired product lines subject to software revenue recognition accounting requirements; severance and other costs related to productivity improvement programs; amortization of intangible assets; and other costs. We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Forward Looking Statements
This release contains forward looking statements including our expectations for the second quarter and full-year 2014. Forward looking statements also include any other statements regarding future revenues, costs and expenses, operating income, earnings per share, margins, cash flows, dividends, and capital expenditures. These forward looking statements are based on forecasts and projections about the markets and industries served by the Company and about general economic conditions. They reflect management’s current beliefs and expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these expectations for a number of reasons including: changes in the global economy may impact the Company’s results; turbulence in financial markets may increase the Company’s borrowing costs; the Company relies on key distributors in marketing products; the Company’s ability to execute and realize the expected benefits from strategic initiatives (including revenue growth, cost control, and productivity improvement programs); changes in the level of economic activity in the Company’s major geographic markets; difficulties in realigning manufacturing capacity and capabilities among the Company’s global manufacturing facilities; the competitiveness of the global broadcast, enterprise, and industrial markets; variability in the Company’s quarterly and annual effective tax rates; changes in accounting rules and interpretation of these rules which may affect the Company’s reported earnings; changes in currency exchange rates and political and economic uncertainties in the countries where the Company conducts business; demand for the Company’s products; the cost and availability of materials including copper, plastic compounds derived from fossil fuels, electronic components, and other materials; energy costs; the Company’s ability to achieve acquisition performance expectations and to integrate acquired businesses successfully; the ability of the Company to develop and introduce new products; the Company having to recognize charges that would reduce income as a result of impairing goodwill and other intangible assets; security risks and the potential for business interruption from operating in volatile countries; disruptions or failures of the Company’s (or the Company’s suppliers or customers) systems or operations in the event of a major earthquake, weather event, cyber-attack, terrorist attack, or other catastrophic event that could cause delays in completing sales, providing services, or performing other mission-critical functions; and other factors.
