SUWANEE, Ga., Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS International
plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) today announced preliminary and unaudited
financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016.
Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights
- GAAP revenues were $1.759
billion
- Adjusted revenues (a non-GAAP measure) were $1.775 billion
- GAAP net income was $0.45 per
diluted share
- Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.79 per diluted share
- End-of-quarter cash resources were $1.107 billion
- Cash from operating activities was $40.0
million
- Order backlog was $1.106
billion
- Book-to-bill ratio was 1.04
On January 4, 2016, the Company
completed its combination with Pace plc and, as a result,
comparisons to prior year periods are materially affected and the
results include several restructuring and acquisition related
items.
"We ended the year with a strong fourth quarter, delivering
results ahead of both our quarterly and annual guidance," said
Bruce McClelland, ARRIS CEO. "I'm
proud of the work the ARRIS team has done in 2016, completing the
integration of Pace and strengthening our relationship with
customers. With respect to the first quarter 2017, we are
estimating revenues in the range of $1.435
billion to $1.485 billion and adjusted revenues in the range
of $1.440 billion to $1.490 billion.
We expect GAAP net loss per diluted share in the range of
$(0.13) to $(0.09) and adjusted net
income per diluted share in the range of $0.36 to $0.40. With regards to the
remainder of 2017, we expect the year to follow a similar trend to
2016. Guidance does not include the pending acquisition
of the Ruckus Wireless and ICX Switch business announced today."
ARRIS will host its 2017 Investor Day on Thursday, March 23 at The Westin New York at
Times Square. Registration for the event can be
found at the Company's website: www.arris.com in the Investor
Relations section.
GAAP revenues in the fourth quarter 2016 of $1.759 billion were up $657 million, or 60%, as compared to fourth
quarter 2015 revenues of $1.102
billion. Fourth quarter 2016 revenues were up
$34 million, or 2%, as compared to
third quarter 2016 revenues of $1.725
billion. Full year 2016 revenues were $6.829 billion, up $2.031
billion, or 42%, as compared to the full year 2015 revenues
of $4.798 billion. GAAP
revenues include a $16 million
reduction for the fourth quarter 2016 and a $30 million reduction for the full year ended
December 31, 2016 as a result of the
accounting for our customer warrant programs.
Adjusted revenues (a non-GAAP measure) in the fourth
quarter 2016 were $1.775 billion as
compared to $1.102 billion for the
fourth quarter 2015, and the third quarter 2016 revenue of
$1.735 billion. Year to date,
adjusted revenues were $6.859 billion
for 2016 as compared to 2015 adjusted revenues of $4.798 billion. As noted above, the
adjustments to revenues solely relate to the accounting for our
customer warrant programs.
A reconciliation of adjusted revenue to GAAP revenue is attached
to this release and also can be found on the Company's website
(www.arris.com).
GAAP net income in the fourth quarter 2016 was

to GAAP net income of $0.20 per
diluted share in the fourth quarter 2015 and a GAAP net income of
$0.25 per diluted share in the third
quarter 2016.
Full year 2016 GAAP net income was $0.09 per diluted share for 2016, as compared to
2015 GAAP net income of $0.62 per
diluted share.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) in the fourth
quarter 2016 was $0.79 per diluted
share, as compared to $0.62 per
diluted share for the fourth quarter 2015, and third quarter 2016
adjusted net income of $0.77 per
diluted share.
Adjusted net income was $2.86 per
diluted share for 2016 as compared to 2015 adjusted net income of
$2.16 per diluted share.
A reconciliation of adjusted net income per diluted share to
GAAP net income per diluted share is attached to this release and

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release, including those related
to:
- revenues and net income for the first quarter 2017 and
beyond;
- integration of the acquired Pace business;
- expected sales levels and acceptance of new ARRIS
products;
- expectations for the Ruckus Wireless and ICX Switch Business
acquisition; and
- the general market outlook and industry trends
are forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in these statements. Among
other things,
- projected results for the first quarter 2017 as well as the
general outlook for 2017 are based on preliminary estimates,
assumptions and projections that management believes to be
reasonable at this time, but are beyond management's control;
- the proposed acquisition of the Ruckus Wireless and ICX Switch
business may not be completed as a result of failure to obtain
regulatory approvals or other reasons;
- the anticipated benefits from the acquisition may not be
realized;
- we may encounter significant transaction costs and unknown
liabilities in connection with the acquisition;
- volatility in the currency fluctuation may adversely impact our
international customer's ability or willingness to purchase
products and the pricing of our products;
- impacts of the recent U.K. referendum to leave the European
Union, and the timing with respect to the same, remain largely
unknown and could have an adverse impact on our results of
operations;
- regulatory changes, including those related to tax and the FCC,
could have an adverse impact on our operations and results of
operations;
- the outstanding warrants held by customers will result in
fluctuations in our GAAP revenues and GAAP net income per diluted
share as a result of the required accounting adjustments;
- our customers operate in a capital intensive consumer-based
industry, and volatility in the capital markets or changes in
customer spending may adversely impact their ability or
willingness to purchase the products that we offer; and
- because the market in which we operate is volatile, actions
taken and contemplated may not achieve the desired impact relative
to changing market conditions and the success of these strategies
will be dependent on the effective implementation of those plans
while minimizing organizational disruption.
In addition to the factors set forth elsewhere in this release,
other factors that could cause results to differ from current
expectations include: rights to intellectual property,
including related litigation; the impact of rapidly changing
technologies; market trends and the adoption of industry
standards. These factors are not intended to be an
all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties that may affect
the Company's business. Additional information regarding these and
other factors can be found in the Company's reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2016. In providing forward-looking
statements, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to
update publicly or otherwise these statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to GAAP to Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or referred to
herein as "reported"). However, management believes that certain
non-GAAP financial measures provide management and other users with
additional meaningful financial information that should be
considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Our management
regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures
internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make
operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the factors
management uses in planning for and forecasting future
periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in
addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company's reported
results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP
financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following
items, as well as the related income tax effects:
Reduction in Revenue Related to Warrants: We entered into
agreements with customers for the issuance of warrants to purchase
up to 14.0 million of ARRIS' ordinary shares. Vesting of the
warrants is subject to certain purchase volume commitments, and
therefore the accounting guidance requires that we record the
change in the fair value of warrants as a reduction in revenue.
Until final vesting, changes in the fair value of the
warrants will be marked to market and any adjustment recorded in
revenue. We have excluded the effect of the implied fair
value in calculating our non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it
is useful to understand the effects of these items on our total
revenues and gross margin.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense: We have excluded the effect of
stock-based compensation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP
operating expenses and net income (loss) measures. Although
stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our
employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance
excluding stock-based compensation expenses. We record non-cash
compensation expense related to grants of restricted stock units.
Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the
non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur
in future periods.
Acquisition Accounting Impacts Related to Inventory
Valuation: In connection with the accounting related to our
acquisitions, business combinations rules require the inventory be
recorded at fair value on the opening balance
sheet. This is different from historical
cost. Essentially we are required to write the inventory
up to end customer price less a reasonable margin as a
distributor. We have excluded the resulting adjustments in
inventory and cost of goods sold as the historic and forward gross
margin trends will differ as a result of the adjustments. We
believe it is useful to understand the effects of this on cost of
goods sold and margin.
Integration, Acquisition, Restructuring and Other Costs:
We have excluded the effect of acquisition, integration, and other
expenses and the effect of restructuring expenses in calculating
our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income (loss) measures. We
incurred expenses in connection with the ActiveVideo and the Pace
acquisitions, which we generally would not otherwise incur in the
periods presented as part of our continuing operations. Acquisition
and integration expenses consist of transaction costs, costs for
transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs, and
integration related outside services. Restructuring consists of
employee severance and abandoned facilities. We believe it is
useful to understand the effects of these items on our total
operating expenses.
Amortization of Intangible Assets: We have excluded the effect
of amortization of intangible assets in calculating our non-GAAP
operating expenses and net income (loss) measures. Amortization of
intangible assets is non-cash, and is inconsistent in amount and
frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of
our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible
assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods
presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as
well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future
periods.
Noncontrolling Interest share of Non-GAAP Adjustments: The
joint venture formed with Charter for the acquisition of
ActiveVideo is accounted for by ARRIS under the consolidation
method. As a result, the consolidated statement of operations
include the revenues, expenses, and gains and losses of the
noncontrolling interest. The amount of net income (loss)
related to the noncontrolling interest are reported and presented
separately in the consolidated statement of operations. We
have excluded the noncontrolling share of any non-GAAP adjusted
measures recorded by the joint venture, as we believe it is useful
to understand the effect of excluding this item when evaluating our
ongoing performance.
Impairment of Investments: We have excluded the effect of an
other-than-temporary impairment of a cost method investment in
calculating our non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is
useful to understand the effect of this non-cash item in our other
expense (income).
Debt Amendment Fees: In 2015, the Company amended its credit
agreement. This debt modification allowed us to improve the
terms and conditions of the credit agreement, extend the maturities
of certain loan facilities, increase the amount of the revolving
credit facility, and add a new term A-1 loan facility.
We have excluded the effect of the associated fees in
calculating our non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is
useful to understand the effect of this item in our other expense
(income).
Credit Facility - Ticking Fees: In connection with our
acquisition of Pace, the cash portion of the consideration was
funded through debt financing commitments. A ticking fee is a
fee paid to our banks to compensate for the time lag between the
commitment allocation on a loan and the actual funding. We have
excluded the effect of the ticking fee in calculating our non-GAAP
financial measures. We believe it is useful to understand the
effect of this item in our other expense (income).
Foreign Exchange Contract (Gains) Losses Related to Cash
Consideration of Pace Acquisition: In the second quarter of 2015,
the Company announced its intent to acquire Pace plc in exchange
for stock and cash. We subsequently entered into foreign
exchange forward contracts in order to hedge the foreign currency
risk associated with the cash consideration of the Pace
acquisition. These foreign exchange forward contracts were
not designated as hedges, and accordingly, all changes in the fair
value of these instruments are recognized as a loss (gain) on
foreign currency in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. We believe it is useful to understand the effect
of this on our other expense (income).
Remeasurement of Deferred Tax Liability Related to Acquired
Intangible Assets: In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company
recorded a foreign currency remeasurement gain related to a
deferred income tax liability, in the United Kingdom, arising from the assignment of
intangibles acquired in the Pace acquisition. This deferred
income tax liability is denominated in GBP. The foreign
currency remeasurement gain derives from the remeasurement of the
GBP deferred income tax liability to the USD, since the date of the
acquisition. We have excluded the impact of this gain in the
calculation of our non-GAAP measures. We believe it is useful
to understand the effects of this item on our total other expense
(income).
Adjustment to Liability Related to Foreign Tax Credit
Benefits: In connection with our acquisition of Motorola
Home, we have obtained certain foreign tax credit benefits for
which we have recorded a liability to Google resulting from certain
provisions in the acquisition agreement. The expense and
subsequent adjustments related to this liability has been recorded
as part of other expense (income). We have excluded the
effect of the expense in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial
measures. We believe it is useful to understand the effects
of this item on our total other expense (income).
France R&D Tax Credit: France R&D tax credits were
recorded as an other asset on the date of our acquisition of Pace,
as Pace France, a subsidiary of Pace, had a history of losses and
did not expect to utilize their R&D Tax Credits against a
future France income tax liability
but rather expected to use the credits to offset non-income taxes.
In the third quarter of 2016, our restructuring in France required a reclassification of the
R&D tax credits from other assets to deferred tax assets prior
to the utilization of the tax credits. This impact of the
reclassification was a charge to other expense with an offsetting
tax benefit. However, during the fourth quarter of 2016, the
Company determined that the original classification within income
taxes was more appropriate and therefore the reclassification from
the third quarter of 2016 reversed. We have excluded the
effect of the other expense and tax benefit in the calculation of
our non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to
understand the effects of this event on our total other expense
(income) and income tax.
Loss on Sale of Building: In the first quarter of 2015,
the Company sold land and a building that qualified for
sale-leaseback accounting and was classified as an operating
lease. A loss has been recorded on the sale. We have
excluded the effect of the loss on sale of property in calculating
our non-GAAP financial measures. We believe it is useful to
understand the effect of excluding this item when evaluating our
ongoing performance.
Foreign Withholding Tax: In connection with our
acquisition of Pace, ARRIS US Holdings, Inc. transferred shares of
its subsidiary ARRIS Financing II Sarl to ARRIS International
plc. Under U.S. tax law, based on the best available
information, we believe the transfer constituted a deemed
distribution from ARRIS U.S. Holdings Inc. to ARRIS International
plc that is treated as a dividend for U.S. tax purposes. A
deemed dividend of this type is subject to U.S. withholding
tax to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and
profits (as computed for tax purposes) ("E&P") of ARRIS U.S.
Holdings Inc., which include the E&P of the former ARRIS Group,
Inc. and subsidiaries through December
31, 2016. Accordingly, ARRIS U.S. Holdings Inc.
remitted U.S. withholding tax in the amount of $55 million based upon its estimated E&P of
$1.1 billion and the U.S. dividend
withholding tax rate of 5 percent (as provided in Article 10
(Dividends) of the United Kingdom-United States Tax Treaty).
We have excluded the withholding tax in calculating our non-GAAP
financial measures.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit): We have excluded the tax effect of
the non-GAAP items mentioned above. Additionally, we have
excluded the effects of certain tax adjustments related to tax and
legal restructuring, state valuation allowances, research and
development tax credits and provision to return differences.
