SUWANEE, Ga., Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ARRS) today announced preliminary and unaudited
financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2014.
Comparisons to prior periods may not be meaningful as a result
of the Company's acquisition of Motorola Home, which closed on
April 17, 2013.
Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights
- Revenues were $1,263.4
million
- Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.78 per diluted share which includes a
$0.12 per diluted share benefit
related to research & development tax credits
- GAAP net income was $1.29 per
diluted share
- The Company ended 2014 with $697.4
million of cash resources
- Order backlog was $631.0
million
- The Company's book-to-bill ratio was 1.03
- The Company recorded an additional $127
million of tax benefits related to the Motorola Home
acquisition
"2014 was an outstanding year for ARRIS. We grew our revenues to
over $5.3B, introduced several key
products, made significant market share gains, and achieved
important design wins scheduled for launch later in 2015. I
look forward to increasing momentum in 2015 as the year progresses
and the pending industry transactions are completed." said
Bob Stanzione, ARRIS Chairman and
CEO.
"We posted strong fourth quarter and 2014 results. We
generated significant cash flow in the year, reduced leverage under
our credit agreement to below 2x and enter 2015 with a strong
balance sheet." said David Potts,
ARRIS EVP & CFO. "With respect to the first quarter 2015,
we now project that revenues for the Company will be in the range
of $1,200 to $1,240 million, with
adjusted net income per diluted share in the range of $0.40 to $0.45 and GAAP net income per diluted
share in the range of $0.08 to
$0.13. Our business in the first quarter is being
impacted by anticipated reductions in volume, product mix, and
price reductions implemented at the beginning of the year."
Revenues in the fourth quarter 2014 were $1,263.4 million as compared to fourth quarter
2013 revenues of $1,199.1 million.
Third quarter 2014 revenues were $1,405.4
million.
For the full year 2014 and 2013, revenues were $5,322.9 million and $3,620.9 million, respectively. 2013
revenues include the revenues of Motorola Home following the
closing of the acquisition on April
17, 2013.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) in the fourth
quarter 2014 was $0.78 per diluted
share, compared to $0.54 per diluted
share for the fourth quarter 2013. Adjusted net income (a
non-GAAP measure) for the third quarter 2014 was $0.81 per diluted share. The
fourth quarter 2014 adjusted net income includes a $0.12 benefit related to the full year impact of
research & development tax credits resulting from Congress
passing legislation in December
2014.
Full year, adjusted net income was $2.76 per diluted share for 2014 as compared to
$1.66 per diluted share in 2013. 2013
excludes the adjusted net income of Motorola Home prior to
April 17, 2013. A
reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income per
diluted share 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 2014 was
$1.29 per diluted share, as compared
to fourth quarter 2013 GAAP net loss of $(0.02) per diluted share and third quarter 2014
GAAP net income of $0.37 per diluted
share. The fourth quarter 2014 GAAP net income includes a net
$0.85 benefit associated with certain
tax matters, in particular and as previously disclosed, the
recording of tax assets related to the Motorola Home
acquisition.
Full year, GAAP net income was $2.21 per diluted share in 2014 as compared to
GAAP net loss of $(0.37) per diluted
share in 2013. 2013 includes the net income of Motorola Home
following the closing of the acquisition on April 17, 2013.
Cash & Cash Equivalents - The Company ended the
fourth quarter 2014 with $697.4
million of cash resources, which includes $692.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments, and $4.9
million of long-term marketable securities, as compared to
$599.1 million, in the aggregate, at
the end of the third quarter 2014. The Company generated
$125.5 million of cash from operating
activities during the fourth quarter 2014, as compared to
$190.6 million generated during the
fourth quarter 2013. During the full year of 2014, the
Company generated $462.6 million of
cash from operating activities, which compares to $570.8 million generated during
2013.
Order backlog at the end of the fourth quarter 2014 was
$631.0 million as compared to
$538.6 million and $594.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter
2013 and the third quarter 2014, respectively. The Company's
book-to-bill ratio in the fourth quarter 2014 was 1.03 as compared
to the fourth quarter 2013 of 1.01 and the third quarter 2014 of
0.86.

Forward-looking statements:
Statements made in this press release, including those related
to:
- growth expectations and business prospects;
- revenues and net income for the first quarter 2015, and
beyond;
- expected sales levels and acceptance of new ARRIS products;
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 2015 as well as the
general outlook for 2015 and beyond are based on preliminary
estimates, assumptions and projections that management believes to
be reasonable at this time, but are beyond management's
control;
- ARRIS' 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 the Company
offers;
- the strengthening U.S. Dollar may adversely impact our
international customer's ability or willingness to purchase
products and the pricing of our products;
- labor disruptions at U.S. West Coast port facilities may delay
our ability to deliver products and recognize related revenue as
originally scheduled and may increase our shipping
costs;
- because the market in which ARRIS operates 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; and
- announced transactions within our customer base, including the
proposed acquisition of Time Warner by Comcast, the proposed
acquisition of DIRECTV by AT&T, and the proposed acquisition by
Frontier Communications of several properties owned by Verizon may
have an impact on customer's spending.
In addition to the factors set forth elsewhere in this release,
other factors that could cause results to differ from current
expectations include: the impact of rapidly changing
technologies; the impact of competition on product development and
pricing; the ability of ARRIS to react to changes in general
industry and market conditions including regulatory developments;
rights to intellectual property, 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 ARRIS' reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30,
2014. 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:
Acquisition Accounting Impacts Related to Deferred
Revenue: In connection with our acquisitions of Motorola
Home, business combination rules require us to account for the fair
values of arrangements for which acceptance has not been obtained,
and post contract support in our purchase accounting. The
non-GAAP adjustment to our sales and cost of sales is intended to
include the full amounts of such revenues. We believe the
adjustment to these revenues is useful as a measure of the ongoing
performance of our business. We have historically experienced
high renewal rates related to our support agreements and our
objective is to increase the renewal rates on acquired post
contract support agreements; however, we cannot be certain that our
customers will renew our contracts.
Reduction in Revenue Related to Comcast Investment in
ARRIS: In connection with our acquisition of Motorola Home,
Comcast was given an opportunity to invest in ARRIS. The
accounting guidance requires that we record the implied fair value
of benefit received by Comcast as a reduction in revenue. Until the
closing of the deal, changes in the value of the investment were
marked to market and flowed through other expense (income).
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 other expense (income).
Acquisition Accounting Impacts Related to Inventory: In
connection with our acquisition of Motorola Home, business
combinations rules require the inventory be recorded at fair value
on the opening balance sheet. This is different from
historical cost. Essentially we were required to write
the inventory up to end customer price less a reasonable margin as
a distributor. In addition, we have conformed other cost
basis inventory valuation policies during the period. We have
excluded the resulting adjustments in inventory and cost of goods
sold.
Product Rationalization: In conjunction with the
integration of Motorola Home, we have identified certain product
lines which overlap. In the second and fourth quarters of
2013, we made the decision to eliminate certain products. As
a result, we recorded expenses related to the elimination of
inventory and certain vendor liabilities. We believe it is
useful to understand the effects of this item on our total cost of
goods sold.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense: We have excluded the effect of
stock-based compensation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP
operating expenses and net income 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 options and restricted stock. 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.
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 measures. We will
incur significant expenses in connection with our recent
acquisition of Motorola Home, 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 expenses consist of employee severance, abandoned
facilities, and other exit costs. Additionally, we have excluded
the effect of a loss on the sale of a product line in calculating
our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. 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 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.
Non-Cash Interest on Convertible Debt: We have excluded the
effect of non-cash interest in calculating our non-GAAP operating
expenses and net income measures. We record the accretion of the
debt discount related to the equity component non-cash interest
expense. We believe it is useful to understand the component of
interest expense that will not be paid out in cash.
Credit Facility - Ticking Fees: In connection with our
acquisition of Motorola Home, 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 non-cash item in our other expense
(income).
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 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).
Mark To Market Fair Value Adjustment Related To Comcast
Investment in ARRIS: In connection with our acquisition of
Motorola Home, Comcast was given an opportunity to invest in
ARRIS. The accounting guidance requires we mark to market the
changes in the value of the investment and flow through other
expense (income). 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 other expense (income).
Impairment of Investment: 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).
Asset Held for Sale Impairment: In the second quarter of
2014, we entered into a contract to facilitate the sale of a
building at less than its carrying value. The asset has been
reclassified as held for sale and was measured at the lower of its
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We have
recorded an initial impairment charge to reduce the assets carrying
amount to its fair value less costs to sell in the period the
held for sale criteria were met. We have excluded the effect of the
asset held for sale impairment 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).
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.
