Sales grow 9 percent, 8 percent organically, with profits setting a second quarter record; Company raises full-year guidance for sales and earnings

Apr 26, 2017

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter that ended March 31, 2017.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales were $3.2 billion, up 9 percent overall and 8 percent organically, from second quarter of 2016;
  • Orders were $3.4 billion, up 20 percent organically from the prior year, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04;
  • Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.13, up 7 percent from second quarter 2016;
  • Adjusted earnings per share were $1.19, up 32 percent over the same period in 2016;
  • Cash flow from continuing operating activities was $521 million, with free cash flow of $387 million, and $234 million returned to shareholders.

Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter, the company reported net sales of $3.2 billion, with organic sales growth of 8 percent year-over-year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations (GAAP EPS) were $1.13 and adjusted EPS were $1.19, both record second quarter results for the company. Cash flow from continuing operating activities was $521 million, and free cash flow was $387 million. The company returned $234 million to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases. Orders for the quarter totaled $3.4 billion, up 20 percent organically from the prior year.  Excluding the company's SubCom business, which saw significant year-over-year order growth in the quarter due to program timing, second quarter orders grew 15 percent organically over 2016.

"We are very pleased with our strong second quarter performance, which reflects broad strength across all businesses and regions, continued progress on our strategic priorities, and execution by our teams around the world." said TE Connectivity Chief Executive Officer Terrence Curtin. "Our results – including organic sales growth of 8 percent and record earnings – were above our prior guidance and driven by adjusted operating margin expansion in our Industrial and Communications segments.

"We are raising our full-year guidance due to our strong performance and expected organic growth across all of our segments. For the full fiscal year, we expect organic sales growth of 6 percent and adjusted earnings per share of $4.62 at the midpoint, a 17 percent increase over last year. This guidance reflects the benefits of our global market leadership, a portfolio focused on harsh environment applications and confidence in our teams as they execute against our business model."

2017 Outlook

For the fiscal third quarter of 2017, the company expects net sales of $3.2 billion to $3.3 billion, reflecting an increase of 4 percent on an as reported basis and 5 percent organically, year over year at the midpoint. GAAP EPS are expected to be $1.08 to $1.12, including net restructuring, acquisition-related and other charges of $0.06. TE expects adjusted EPS of $1.14 to $1.18 which represents a 7 percent improvement at the mid-point versus the third quarter of 2016.

For the full year, the company expects net sales of $12.6 to $12.8 billion, reflecting 6 percent growth at the mid-point versus the prior year, excluding the additional week in fiscal year 2016. GAAP EPS are expected to be $4.39 to $4.47 including net restructuring, acquisition-related and other charges of $0.33 and a tax related benefit of $0.14. TE expects adjusted EPS of $4.58 to $4.66, reflecting 17 percent growth at the mid-point compared to 2016, when excluding the additional week.

Non-GAAP Measures

We present non-GAAP performance and liquidity measures as we believe it is appropriate for investors to consider adjusted financial measures in addition to results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information and should not be considered replacements for results in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and in its decision making processes related to the operations of our company. We believe these measures provide meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance the understanding of our operating performance, ability to generate cash, and the trends of our business. Additionally, we believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operations. The primary limitation of these measures is that they exclude the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease our reported results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in order to better understand the amounts, character, and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

The following provides additional information regarding our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Organic Net Sales Growth – represents net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the preceding twelve months, if any. Organic Net Sales Growth is a useful measure of our performance because it excludes items that are not completely under management's control, such as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and items that do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
  • Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin – represent operating income and operating margin, respectively, (the most comparable GAAP financial measures) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, and other income or charges, if any. We utilize these measures to assess segment level operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and market conditions. Adjusted Operating Income is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
  • Adjusted Other Income, Net – represents net other income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other items, if any.
  • Adjusted Income Tax Expense – represents income tax expense (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any.
  • Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations – represents income from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects.
  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share – represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) before special items including restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, other income or charges, and certain significant tax items, if any, and, if applicable, the related tax effects. This measure is a significant component in our incentive compensation plans.
  • Net Sales Excluding the Impact of the Additional Week, Net Sales Growth Excluding the Impact of the Additional Week, Organic Net Sales Growth Excluding the Impact of the Additional Week, Adjusted Operating Income Excluding the Impact of the Additional Week, Adjusted Operating Margin Excluding the Impact of the Additional Week, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Excluding the Impact of the Additional Week – represent certain GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of the additional week in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year for fiscal years which are 53 weeks in length. The impact of the additional week is estimated using an average weekly sales figure for the last month of the fiscal year.
  • Free Cash Flow (FCF) – is a useful measure of our ability to generate cash. The difference between net cash provided by continuing operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) and Free Cash Flow consists mainly of significant cash outflows and inflows that we believe are useful to identify. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated from our operations.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by continuing operating activities excluding voluntary pension contributions and the cash impact of special items, if any, minus net capital expenditures. Voluntary pension contributions are excluded from the GAAP financial measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. Certain special items, including net payments related to pre-separation tax matters and cash paid (collected) pursuant to collateral requirements related to cross currency swaps, are also excluded by management in evaluating Free Cash Flow. Net capital expenditures consist of capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. These items are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments.

In the calculation of Free Cash Flow, we subtract certain cash items that are ultimately within management's and the Board of Directors' discretion to direct and may imply that there is less or more cash available for our programs than the most comparable GAAP financial measure indicates. It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for future discretionary expenditures, as our definition of Free Cash Flow does not consider certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt payments. In addition, we may have other discretionary expenditures, such as discretionary dividends, share repurchases, and business acquisitions, that are not considered in the calculation of Free Cash Flow.
