PEMBROKE, Bermuda, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tyco Electronics Ltd. (NYSE: TEL)(BSX: TEL) today reported net sales of $3.7 billion for the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 28, 2007, an increase of 19 percent over the prior- year period. Excluding currency effects, organic sales growth was 12 percent. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were $1.75 for the quarter, compared to $0.48 in the prior-year period. Included in EPS from continuing operations was $1.15 of income related to the company's tax- sharing agreement from adoption of a new accounting standard, as well as $0.03 per share of charges related to restructuring. This compares to $0.02 per share of charges in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.63 in the quarter, an increase of 26 percent over last year's adjusted EPS of $0.50.

"We had a very good start to the fiscal year," said Tyco Electronics Chief Executive Officer Tom Lynch. "We continued to benefit from the diversity of our business and the strength of our international markets, where we generate more than two-thirds of our sales. Our Undersea Telecommunications business also had another strong quarter. Our adjusted operating margin of 13.6 percent improved by half a point compared to last year's first quarter. We also had strong cash flow in the quarter and used excess cash to repurchase more than 7 million of the company's common shares."

Organic Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Margin and Free Cash Flow are all non-GAAP financial measures and are described at the end of this press release. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures, see the attached tables. All dollar amounts are pre-tax and stated in millions. All comparisons are to the quarter ended Dec. 29, 2006 unless otherwise indicated.

  Adjusted Operating Margin         13.6%         13.1%

GAAP operating income was $478 million, compared to $394 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 21 percent. The operating margin on a GAAP basis was 13.0 percent, compared to 12.7 percent in the prior-year period. Included in operating income were restructuring costs of $21 million in the current quarter, as well as $12 million of restructuring costs and other items in the prior-year quarter. Excluding these items in both periods, adjusted operating income was $499 million compared to $406 million a year ago, an increase of 23 percent. The adjusted operating margin was 13.6 percent, compared to 13.1 percent a year ago, primarily reflecting the benefit of higher sales volumes in the Network Solutions and Undersea Telecommunications segments.

CASH FLOW

Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $392 million in the quarter, an increase of 84 percent over the prior-year quarter. The increase was largely due to improved working capital performance and higher income levels compared to the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow was $267 million.

  OTHER ITEMS
  -- During the quarter, the company repurchased 7.1 million shares for $259
     million.  This is part of a previously-authorized $750 million share
     repurchase program that is expected to be completed during fiscal 2008.

  -- Effective at the beginning of this quarter, the company adopted
     Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No.
     ("FIN") 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -- an
     interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.  This resulted in an increase
     to the company's contingent tax liabilities, an increase in deferred
     tax assets and a corresponding decrease to Shareholders' Equity.
     Additionally, the company recorded Other Income of $572 million related
     to certain incremental tax liabilities recorded upon adoption of FIN 48
     for which Tyco International and Covidien are responsible pursuant to
     the tax-sharing agreement.  The net impact of these items was a
     reduction in Shareholders' Equity of $63 million.

  -- The company closed the sale of its Power Systems business for $102
     million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $56 million, which is included
     in Income from Discontinued Operations.

  ORDERS

Total company orders grew 17 percent organically in the quarter compared to the prior year, and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.17. Excluding the company's Undersea Telecommunications and Wireless Systems segments, which are project-oriented businesses with uneven order patterns, orders grew 9 percent organically in the quarter and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.04.

COMPANY INCREASES FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

For the full fiscal year 2008, the company now expects adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $2.45 to $2.55, compared to $2.18 in the prior year -- an increase of 12 to 17 percent. This compares to the company's prior outlook of $2.40 to $2.50 per share. The increase reflects the first quarter results and a stronger outlook for the Undersea Telecommunications segment, partially offset by $0.05 per share of net incremental expense due to the adoption of FIN 48. The company continues to expect restructuring-related costs of approximately $130 million ($0.17 per share) for the full year. The company expects full-year sales growth of 11 to 13 percent with organic sales growth of 7 to 9 percent. This outlook excludes the one-time $1.15 EPS benefit related to the company's tax sharing agreement from the adoption of FIN 48. This outlook assumes stable foreign exchange rates and raw material prices for the remainder of the fiscal year.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the company expects sales growth of 10 to 12 percent over prior-year sales of $3.3 billion, with organic sales growth of 5 to 7 percent. The company further expects diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.57 to $0.59, which includes restructuring costs of approximately $0.03 per share. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations are expected to be $0.60 to $0.62, compared to prior-year adjusted EPS of $0.61. This outlook assumes a 37 percent tax rate and Other Income of approximately $23 million, compared to a 25 percent tax rate and no Other Income in last year's second quarter. The combination of a higher tax rate, partially offset by higher Other Income, adversely affects the year over year comparison by approximately $0.07 per share.

"With our strong first quarter and the continued strength of our Undersea Telecommunications business, we are increasing our EPS outlook for the full year," said Lynch. "Our order rates have remained solid across most of our businesses and this is offsetting continued weakness in our U.S. components business. We believe the diversity of our business and our broad geographic reach will help us to perform well in this uncertain economic environment."

SEGMENT RESULTS

Tyco Electronics is comprised of four reporting segments: Electronic Components, Network Solutions, Undersea Telecommunications and Wireless Systems.

  Adjusted Operating
   Margin                    13.9%      14.1%

Sales in the segment grew 10 percent year over year, or 5 percent organically. On an organic basis, growth was driven by strength in the communications (+22 percent), industrial (+10 percent), aerospace and defense (+9 percent) and automotive (+8 percent) markets. This growth was partially offset by a 5 percent decline in the computer market, driven by the strategic decision to exit certain low-margin business, and a 4 percent decline in our appliance market. On a geographic basis, segment sales grew 9 percent organically in Asia, 4 percent in Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), and declined 1 percent in the Americas.

Operating income increased by $25 million and adjusted operating income grew $30 million, due to higher sales levels. The adjusted operating margin decreased by 20 basis points due to low productivity in the company's U.S. automotive business. Restructuring-related costs in the quarter were $15 million, compared to $8 million in the prior-year quarter.

Network Solutions

The Network Solutions segment is one of the world's largest suppliers of infrastructure components and systems for the communication service provider, building networks and energy markets.

  Adjusted Operating
   Margin                    14.5%      12.8%

Segment sales grew 22 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, or 12 percent organically. On an organic basis, sales to the communication service provider market increased 22 percent, due to increased spending levels at certain carriers. Sales to the building networks market grew 10 percent, reflecting strong demand for faster and more secure networks particularly in EMEA and Asia. Sales to the energy market grew 8 percent, reflecting solid growth in both EMEA and Asia.

Operating income increased by $15 million and adjusted operating income increased by $20 million. The increase in the adjusted operating margin primarily relates to the higher volumes, as well as a higher-margin sales mix. Restructuring-related costs in the quarter were $5 million, compared to no costs in the prior-year quarter.

Undersea Telecommunications

The company's Undersea Telecommunications segment is a world leader in developing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining the world's most advanced fiber optic undersea networks.

  Adjusted Operating
   Margin                    14.0%         0%

Sales in the segment grew 311 percent organically versus the prior year, primarily related to the construction of several large projects in emerging markets. Adjusted operating income increased $44 million, driven by higher volumes and improved operating leverage. Restructuring-related costs in both the current and prior-year quarters were $1 million.

Wireless Systems

The Wireless Systems segment is a leading innovator of wireless technology for critical communications, radar and defense applications.

  Adjusted Operating
   Margin                     6.7%       7.2%

Sales in the segment were essentially flat year over year. Modest growth in the wireless networks business was offset by declines in the aerospace and defense and commercial products businesses. Operating income was flat versus last year. There were no restructuring-related costs in the current quarter, compared to costs of $1 million in the prior-year quarter.

  NON-GAAP MEASURES

"Organic Sales Growth," "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted Earnings Per Share," "Adjusted Operating Margin," and "Free Cash Flow" (FCF) are non- GAAP measures and should not be considered replacements for GAAP results.

"Organic Sales Growth" is a useful measure used by the company to measure the underlying results and trends in the business. The difference between reported net sales growth (the most comparable GAAP measure) and Organic Sales Growth (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact from foreign currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Organic Sales Growth is a useful measure of the company's performance because it excludes items that: i) are not completely under management's control, such as the impact of foreign currency exchange; or ii) do not reflect the underlying growth of the company, such as acquisition and divestiture activity. It is also a component of the company's compensation programs. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on the company's sales. This limitation is best addressed by using organic sales growth in combination with the GAAP numbers. See the accompanying tables to this press release for the reconciliation presenting the components of Organic Sales Growth.

The company has presented its operating income before unusual items including costs related to the separation, legal settlements, restructuring costs and other income or charges ("Adjusted Operating Income"). The company utilizes Adjusted Operating Income to assess segment level core operating performance and to provide insight to management in evaluating segment operating plan execution and underlying market conditions. It is also a significant component in the company's incentive compensation plans. Adjusted Operating Income is a useful measure for investors because it better reflects the company's underlying operating results, trends and the comparability of these results between periods. The difference between Adjusted Operating Income and operating income (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of the impact of charges related to litigation settlement costs, separation-related costs and restructuring costs and other income or charges that may mask the underlying operating results and/or business trends. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease the company's reported operating income. This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Operating Income in combination with operating income (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease on reported results.

The company has presented adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is earnings per share from continuing operations before unusual items, including costs related to the separation, legal settlements, restructuring costs, loss on retirement of debt and other income or charges ("Adjusted Earnings Per Share"). The company presents Adjusted Earnings Per Share because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of unusual items, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby making comparisons between periods more difficult. This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Earnings Per Share in combination with earnings per share (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease on reported results.

The company has presented its operating margin before unusual items including costs related to the separation, legal settlements, restructuring costs and other income or charges ("Adjusted Operating Margin"). The company presents and forecasts its Adjusted Operating Margin before unusual items to give investors a perspective on the underlying business results. Because the company cannot predict the amount and timing of such items and the associated charges or gains that will be recorded in the company's financial statements, it is difficult to include the impact of those items in the forecast.

"Free Cash Flow" (FCF) is a useful measure of the company's cash generation which is free from any significant existing obligation. The difference between cash flows from operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) and FCF (the non-GAAP measure) consists mainly of significant cash outflows that the company believes are useful to identify. FCF permits management and investors to gain insight into the number that management employs to measure cash that is free from any significant existing obligation. The difference reflects the impact from:

  -- net capital expenditures,
  -- voluntary pension contributions,
  -- cash impact of unusual items

Net capital expenditures are subtracted because they represent long-term commitments. Voluntary pension contributions are subtracted from the GAAP measure because this activity is driven by economic financing decisions rather than operating activity. The company forecasts its cash flow results excluding any voluntary pension contributions because it has not yet made a determination about the amount and timing of any future such contributions. In addition, the company's forecast excludes the cash impact of unusual items because the company cannot predict the amount and timing of such items.

The limitation associated with using FCF is that it subtracts cash items that are ultimately within management's and the Board of Directors' discretion to direct and that therefore may imply that there is less or more cash that is available for the company's programs than the most comparable GAAP measure. This limitation is best addressed by using FCF in combination with the GAAP cash flow numbers.

FCF as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The measure should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to read the company's financial statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the accompanying tables to this press release that show all the elements of the GAAP measures of Cash Flows from Operating Activities, Cash Flows from Investing Activities, Cash Flows from Financing Activities and a reconciliation of the company's total cash and cash equivalents for the period. See the accompanying tables to this press release for a cash flow statement presented in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation presenting the components of FCF.
