Fourth Quarter Results
Three Months Ended
Jun. 30, Mar. 31, Jun. 30,
USD millions, except per share data 2012 2012 2011
Net revenue $ 858.5 $ 837.1 $ 913.7
Net income 72.0 64.9 77.3
Earnings per share 0.40 0.36 0.44
Net revenue for the June 2012 quarter was $858.5 million, a 2.6%
increase from the March 2012 quarter and 6.0% decrease from the
June 2011 quarter. In local currencies, net revenue increased 3.3%
compared with the March 2012 quarter and decreased 4.4% compared
with the June 2011 quarter. Orders for the June 2012 quarter were
$901.0 million, an increase of 3.3% from the March 2012 quarter,
resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.05 to 1.0 for the June 2012
quarter.
Net income for the June 2012 quarter was $72.0 million or $0.40
per share, compared with $64.9 million, or $0.36 per share, for the
March 2012 quarter and $77.3 million, or $0.44 per share, for the
June 2011 quarter.
"We are encouraged with our margin performance in the June
quarter even though revenue was below our expectations. More
importantly, bookings have now increased sequentially in Q3 and Q4
and new product design activity remains extremely strong,"
commented Martin P. Slark, Chief Executive Officer. "At this time
of global economic uncertainty, we have several new product
introductions scheduled for the September quarter that, coupled
with the pre-Christmas build, are expected to drive revenue growth
at a rate in excess of the connector industry."
Other financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30,
2012:
-- Gross profit margin was 30.0%, compared with 30.5% in the March 2012
quarter and 30.8% in the June 2011 quarter. The March 2012
quarter
benefitted from favorable product mix, while the June 2011
quarter was
achieved with higher revenue and lower commodity costs.
-- SG&A expense was $161.6 million, compared with $163.9 million in the
March 2012 quarter and $167.9 million in the June 2011 quarter.
SG&A
expense included an insurance reimbursement of $6.0 million
($0.02 per
share) related to losses incurred as a result of the March
2011
earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
-- Backlog was $416.4 million, an increase of $39.5 million or 10.5% from
the March 2012 quarter. This increase is a direct result of
orders for
new products that will launch in the September 2012 quarter.
-- Capital expenditures were $77.7 million or 9.0% of revenue, including
significant investments for new product introductions.
-- The effective tax rate of 24.3% included a one-time benefit of $6.1
million ($0.03 per share) due to the recognition of foreign
tax
credits and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to
the
repatriation of foreign earnings. Excluding the one-time
benefit, the
effective tax rate was 30.8%.
Full Fiscal Year Results
Twelve Months Ended
Jun. 30, Jun. 30,
USD millions, except per share data 2012 2011
Net revenue $ 3,489.2 $ 3,587.3
Net income 281.4 298.8
Earnings per share 1.59 1.70
Net revenue for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was
$3.5 billion, a 2.7% decrease from the prior fiscal year. Net
revenue in local currencies decreased 4.3% from the prior fiscal
year. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $281.4
million or $1.59 per share, compared with net income of $298.8
million or $1.70 per share in the prior fiscal year. The effective
tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was 29.7%.
"Despite the challenging economic environment, we are pleased
with our overall operating performance during fiscal 2012. We
worked hard to overcome disruptions from the earthquake and tsunami
in Japan and the floods in Thailand. We were also very successful
in fulfilling customer requirements in a record setting first
quarter, which was followed by a significant slowdown in overall
demand in the second quarter," commented Martin P. Slark. "For the
full year we increased our gross margin while significantly
improving our quality and delivery metrics, introduced many new
products and generated record cash flow which allowed us to
increase our dividend by 10%."
Outlook
Based upon current order rates, customer backlog and scheduled
new product launches, the Company estimates revenue in a range of
$900 to $940 million for the September 2012 quarter. At this level
of revenue, the Company expects earnings per share in a range of
$0.37 to $0.41 assuming constant foreign currency rates, unchanged
commodity prices and an effective tax rate in the range of 30% to
32%.
