Plantronics Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2011 Results
Record Fiscal Year Earnings Per Share and Cash Flow from Operations; 7,000,000 Share Repurchase Program Authorized
SANTA CRUZ, CA - May 3, 2011 - Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today announced fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 net revenues of $173.1 million, a 7% increase compared with net revenues of $162.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Net revenues were above the guidance range of $167 million - $172 million provided on February 1, 2011. Plantronics' GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.55 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared with $0.49 in the same quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 increased 15% to $0.61 from $0.53 in the same quarter of the prior year. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 includes stock-based compensation charges, purchase accounting amortization, including accelerated amortization due to the abandonment of an intangible asset, all net of associated tax impact, and a tax benefit from expiration of certain statutes of limitations.
Net revenues for fiscal year 2011 increased 11% to $683.6 million compared with $613.8 million for fiscal year 2010. Plantronics' GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 44% to $2.23 for fiscal year 2011 compared with $1.55 in fiscal year 2010. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for fiscal year 2011 increased by 32% to $2.44 compared with $1.85 in fiscal year 2010.
“Our financial performance in fiscal year 2011 was excellent. Highlights include record annual earnings per share and record generation of cash flow from operations, while we achieved gross and operating margins above our long-term objective,” stated Ken Kannappan, President & CEO. “As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, we believe that our best long-term revenue and profit opportunities are in front of us and that we are well positioned for them.”
“We generated approximately $72 million in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter and approximately $158 million for the fiscal year. We finished the year with a very strong financial position with $430 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We also had $39.3 million in long-term investments at the end of the fiscal year,” stated Barbara Scherer, SVP Finance and Administration & CFO.
Improved economic conditions and the trend toward Unified Communications (“UC”) drove an 18% increase in net revenues of Office and Contact Center (“OCC”) products in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. OCC net revenues were $132.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with $111.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Sales of UC products were $16.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared with $13.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Mobile net revenues were $28.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, a decrease of 22% from $35.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, due primarily to weak category spending.
GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $34.3 million, resulting in an operating margin of 19.8%, inclusive of a $5.1 million gain related to an agreement to dismiss litigation involving the alleged theft of our trade secrets by a competitor in exchange for a full release and settlement of the claims. This compares to GAAP operating income of $31.7 million and an operating margin of 19.5% in the same quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $39.9 million which resulted in a non-GAAP operating margin of 23.0% compared to previously provided guidance of $40 million to $42 million. In the prior year quarter, non-GAAP operating income was $35.8 million with a non-
GAAP operating margin of 22.1%.
Plantronics completed the sale of Altec Lansing, its Audio Entertainment Group (“AEG”) segment, effective as of December 1, 2009. All results of operations related to AEG (including the loss on the sale) were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Business Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations and many of these statements are forward-looking. Actual results are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from our expectations.
Plantronics' business is inherently difficult to forecast, particularly with continuing uncertainty in global economic conditions, and there can be no assurance that the incoming orders it expects to receive over the balance of the current quarter will materialize.
Plantronics has a “book and ship” business model whereby it ships most orders to customers within 48 hours of its receipt of those orders and, therefore, the level of backlog does not provide reliable visibility into potential future revenues.
Subject to the foregoing, we are currently expecting the following range of financial results for continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012:
• | Net revenues of $168 million - $173 million; |
• | Non-GAAP operating income of $34.0 million to $37.0 million; |
• | Assuming 49 million diluted average weighted shares outstanding: |
• | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.52 - $0.56; |
• | EPS cost of stock-based compensation to be approximately $0.06; and |
• | GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.46 to $0.50. |
Plantronics does not intend to update these targets during the quarter or to report on its progress toward these targets. Plantronics will not comment on these targets to analysts or investors except by its press release announcing its first quarter fiscal year 2012 results or by other public disclosure. Any other statements speculating on the progress of the first quarter fiscal year 2012 will not be based on internal information and should be assessed accordingly by investors.
“We are also updating our target business model,” said Barbara Scherer. “For a number of years, we have believed that the right target business model for us was an 18%-20% operating margin. We came out of the economic recession with a lean cost structure and have experienced a rebound of demand for our products as a result of stronger economic conditions as well as the strength of our portfolio and our total value proposition. We exceeded the 20% target in fiscal year 2011 even while investing significantly in UC opportunities, and our financial plan for fiscal year 2012 calls for a similar operating margin while continuing to invest for growth. We have updated our market and financial models and have concluded that a more appropriate target is a 20%-23% operating margin.” Please see our new Investor Relations Presentation available on our corporate website www.plantronics.com/ir.
Plantronics today announced in a separate press release that its Board of Directors has authorized a 7,000,000 share repurchase program.
Dividend Announcement
Plantronics also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend will be payable on June 10, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2011.
Conference Call Scheduled to Discuss Financial Results
Plantronics has scheduled a conference call to discuss fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 results. The conference call will take place today, May 3, 2011 at 2:00 PM (PDT). All interested investors and potential investors in Plantronics stock are invited to participate. To listen to the call, please dial in five to ten minutes prior to the scheduled starting time and refer to the "Plantronics Conference Call." Participants from North America should call (888) 301-8736 and other participants should call (706) 634-7260.
A replay of the call with the conference ID #52161408 will be available for 72 hours at (800) 642-1687 for callers from North America and at (706) 645-9291 for all other callers. The conference call will also be simultaneously web cast at www.plantronics.com under Investor Relations, and the web cast of the conference call will remain available on the Plantronics
website for 30 days.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Plantronics excludes non-recurring transactions and non-cash expenses and charges such as restructuring and other related charges, the release of tax reserves due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations, stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases, purchase accounting amortization and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets from non-GAAP income from continuing operations, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP effective tax rate on continuing operations. Plantronics excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because Plantronics does not believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results and are not considered by management as part of Plantronics' target operating model. Plantronics believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity, and helps investors compare actual results to its long-term target operating model goals. Plantronics believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, but non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, income from operations, net income or earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Safe Harbor
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements relating to (i) our best long-term revenue and profit opportunities are in front of us and that we are well positioned for them (ii) our estimates of GAAP and non-GAAP financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, including revenue, operating income and earnings per share; (iii) our estimated stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2012; (iv) our estimate of the diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, (v) trends and our predictions regarding ordering patterns for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, (vi) and our target market and financial model update of our operating margin from 18%-20% to 20%-23%, as well as other matters discussed in this press release that are not purely historical data. Plantronics does not assume any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new developments or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated are:
• | economic conditions in both the domestic and international markets; |
• | our ability to realize our UC plans and to achieve the financial results projected to arise from UC adoption could be adversely affected by the following factors: (i) as UC becomes more widely adopted, the risk that competitors will offer solutions that will effectively commoditize our headsets which, in turn, will reduce the sales prices for our headsets; (ii) UC solutions may not be adopted with the breadth and speed in the marketplace that we currently anticipate; (iii) the development of UC solutions is technically complex and this may delay or obstruct our ability to introduce solutions to the market on a timely basis and that are cost effective, feature rich, stable and attractive to our customers; (iv) as UC becomes more widely adopted we anticipate that competition for market share will increase, and some competitors may have superior technical and economic resources; and (v) our plans are dependent upon adoption of our UC solution by major platform providers such as Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Avaya, Inc., Alcatel-Lucent, and IBM, and we have a limited ability to influence such providers with respect to the functionality of their platforms, their rate of deployment, and their willingness to integrate their platforms with our solutions, and our support expenditures may substantially increase over time due to the complex nature of the platforms developed by the major UC providers as these platforms continue to evolve and become more commonly adopted; |
• | failure to match production to demand given long lead times and the difficulty of forecasting unit volumes and acquiring the component parts and materials to meet demand without having excess inventory or incurring cancellation charges; |
• | volatility in prices from our suppliers, including our manufacturers located in China, have and could negatively affect our profitability and/or market share; |
• | fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; |
• | the bankruptcy or financial weakness of distributors or key customers, or the bankruptcy of or reduction in capacity of our key suppliers; |
• | additional risk factors including: interruption in the supply of sole-sourced critical components, continuity of component supply at costs consistent with our plans, the inherent risks of our substantial foreign operations, and problems which might affect our manufacturing facilities in Mexico; and |
• | impairment losses on the carrying value of our intangible assets and goodwill could be recognized if it is determined the |
value is not recoverable which would adversely affect our financial results.
For more information concerning these and other possible risks, please refer to Plantronics' Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2010, quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as recent press releases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Plantronics uses non-GAAP measures of operating results from continuing operations, which are adjusted to exclude non-recurring and non-cash expenses and charges, such as restructuring and other related charges, stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases, purchase accounting amortization, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and tax benefits from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Plantronics does not believe these expenses and charges are reflective of ongoing operating results and are not part of our target operating model. We have presented non-GAAP statements that only show our results to the income from continuing operations after tax line. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Plantronics may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Plantronics uses non-GAAP measures of operating results from continuing operations, which are adjusted to exclude non-recurring and non-cash expenses and charges, such as restructuring and other related charges, stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases, purchase accounting amortization, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and tax benefits from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Plantronics does not believe these expenses and charges are reflective of ongoing operating results and are not part of our target operating model. We have presented non-GAAP statements that only show our results to the income from continuing operations after tax line. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Plantronics may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
