SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended Mar. 25, 2011.  The company reported a net sales increase of 17 percent year-over-year, and 9 percent sequentially, to $3.5 billion.  Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (GAAP EPS) were $0.67 for the quarter, compared to $0.66 in the prior-year period.  Included in the GAAP EPS were $0.05 per share of ADC acquisition-related charges and $0.01 per share of restructuring and other credits.  This compares to $0.02 per share of restructuring and other charges and $0.04 per share of income related to tax items in the prior-year quarter.  Adjusted EPS were $0.71 in the quarter, up 11 percent compared to $0.64 in the prior-year quarter.  In the fiscal second quarter, the acquisition of ADC contributed $279 million of revenues and approximately $0.02 to adjusted EPS.

"Our second quarter overall was solid with double-digit sales and adjusted earnings growth versus the prior year and continued orders growth in most of our markets, especially automotive, industrial and telecom networks,” said TE Connectivity Chief Executive Officer Tom Lynch.  “In addition, the benefits of the ADC acquisition began to materialize during the quarter as sales and earnings were on track and we were awarded a $400 million contract to supply network connectivity products for the Australian government’s National Broadband Network.  

“Our company, like many others, is being impacted by the earthquake in Japan.  We feel fortunate that all 2,000 of our people there came through the earthquake safely and I want to thank them for their commitment to keeping our operations running and supporting our customers during these trying times,” Lynch continued.  “The situation is creating disruptions to some of our customers’ operations and we expect the majority of this impact to be in our third quarter.”  

UPDATED 2011 OUTLOOK

“Despite the negative impact from the earthquake in Japan, the strength in our automotive, network infrastructure and industrial markets, coupled with the contribution of the ADC acquisition, is driving strong year-over-year adjusted earnings growth of 16 to 21 percent,” Lynch said.  

For the third quarter, the company expects net sales of $3.50 to $3.65 billion, an increase of 13 to 18 percent over the prior-year period.  GAAP EPS are expected to be $0.65 to $0.71, including acquisition-related and restructuring charges of $0.03.  Adjusted EPS are expected to be $0.68 to $0.74, compared to adjusted EPS of $0.70 in the prior-year period.  Included in this guidance are approximately $320 million of sales and $0.05 of adjusted EPS related to the ADC acquisition, as well as a negative impact of $135 million of sales and $0.09 of EPS due to the Japan earthquake.

For the full fiscal year, which includes 53 weeks, the company expects sales of $14.0 to $14.3 billion, an increase of 16 to 18 percent over the prior year.  GAAP EPS are expected to be $2.73 to $2.85, including acquisition-related and restructuring charges of approximately $0.22 per share.  Adjusted EPS are expected to be $2.95 to $3.07, up 16 to 21 percent compared to adjusted EPS of $2.54 in the prior year.  This guidance includes approximately $1.0 billion of sales and $0.12 of adjusted EPS due to the ADC acquisition, $240 million of sales and $0.05 of EPS due to the impact of the additional week in the fiscal year 2011, as well as the negative impact of approximately $220 million of sales and $0.14 of EPS due to the Japan earthquake.

This outlook assumes current foreign exchange and commodity rates.

Sales grew 17 percent compared to the prior-year quarter and 9 percent sequentially.  Organically, sales increased 7 percent compared to the prior-year and 1 percent sequentially.  By segment, and on an organic basis, sales in the Transportation Solutions segment were up 14 percent compared to the prior year, primarily driven by continued growth in global automotive production and increased content.  Sales in the Communications and Industrial Solutions segment were up 3 percent compared to the prior year driven by the industrial market.  Sales were up 3 percent compared to the prior year in the Network Solutions segment driven by double-digit improvement in all end markets except our Subsea Communications business, which declined as expected.    

The adjusted operating margin was 12.9 percent in the quarter, down 100 basis points versus the prior year and 160 basis points sequentially primarily as a result of the acquisition of ADC.

CASH FLOW

Cash from continuing operations was $557 million during the quarter.  Free cash flow was $447 million.  The company now expects free cash flow in excess of $1.3 billion in fiscal 2011, excluding the estimated $105 million of cash expenditures related to the ADC acquisition.

ORDERS

Total company orders were $3.5 billion, an increase of 16 percent compared to the prior year and up 11 percent sequentially.  Orders were up 6 percent organically compared to the prior year and up 4 percent sequentially.  The book-to-bill ratio was 1.02 overall and 1.05, excluding the Subsea Communications business.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS

  • In April, the company’s Subsea Communications business finalized an agreement with the SJC consortium to participate in the construction of a major undersea communications network in Southeast Asia.  The value of the contract is estimated to be approximately $180 million.
  • In April, the company completed a $75 million sale of non-core patents acquired as part of ADC.
  • In March, the company’s shareholders approved a 12.5 percent increase in the dividend to $0.18 for the four fiscal quarters beginning with the June quarter of 2011.  Shareholders also approved the company’s name change to TE Connectivity Ltd.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

“Organic Sales Growth,” “Adjusted Operating Income,” “Adjusted Operating Margin,” “Adjusted Other Income, Net,” “Adjusted Income Tax Expense,” “Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” 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.  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 results.  See the accompanying tables to this release for the reconciliation presenting the components of Organic Sales Growth.

The company has presented its operating income before special items including charges or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, and acquisition related 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 or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, and acquisition related 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 its operating margin before special items including charges or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, and acquisition related charges (“Adjusted Operating Margin”).  The company presents Adjusted Operating Margin before special 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.

The company has presented other income, net before special items including tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items (“Adjusted Other Income, Net”).  The company presents Adjusted Other Income, Net as it believes that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to its results in accordance with GAAP.  The difference between Adjusted Other Income, Net and other income, net (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items.  The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease other income, net.  This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Other Income, Net in combination with other income, net (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts.

The company has presented income tax expense after adjusting for the tax effect of special items including charges related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, and certain significant special tax items (“Adjusted Income Tax Expense”).  The company presents Adjusted Income Tax Expense to provide investors further information regarding the tax effects of adjustments used in determining the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations (as defined below).  The difference between Adjusted Income Tax Expense and income tax expense (the most comparable GAAP measure) is the tax effect of adjusting items and certain significant special tax items.  The limitation of this measure is that it excludes the financial impact of items that would otherwise either increase or decrease income tax expense.  This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Income Tax Expense in combination with income tax expense (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts.

The company has presented income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. before special items including charges or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, certain significant special tax items, and, if applicable, related tax effects (“Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations”).  The company presents Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations as it believes that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to its results in accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations provides additional information regarding the company’s underlying operating results, trends and the comparability of these results between periods.  The difference between Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of the impact of charges or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, certain significant special tax items, and, if applicable, related tax effects.  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 results.  This limitation is best addressed by using Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations in combination with income from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease in reported amounts.

The company has presented diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. before special items, including charges or income related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring and other charges, acquisition related charges, tax sharing income related to certain proposed adjustments to prior period tax returns and other tax items, certain significant special tax items, and, if applicable, related tax effects (“Adjusted Earnings Per Share”).  The company presents Adjusted Earnings Per Share because it believes that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to its results in accordance with GAAP.  The company believes such a measure provides a picture of its results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of special items, which may recur, 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 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to TE Connectivity Ltd. (the most comparable GAAP measure) in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease on reported results.

“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 amount 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, and
  • cash impact of special 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 such future contributions.  In addition, the company’s forecast excludes the cash impact of special 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 results.

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 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 release for a cash flow statement presented in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation presenting the components of FCF.

Because the company does not predict the amount and timing of special items that might occur in the future, and its forecasts are developed at a level of detail different than that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures, the company does not provide reconciliations to GAAP of its forward-looking financial measures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainty and changes in circumstances, which may cause actual results, performance, financial condition or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance, financial condition or achievements.  All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. TE Connectivity has no intention and is under no obligation to update or alter (and expressly disclaims any such intention or obligation to do so) its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.  The forward-looking statements in this release include statements addressing our future financial condition and operating results.  Examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, among others, business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks, such as developments in the credit markets; conditions affecting demand for products, particularly the automotive industry and the telecommunications, computer and consumer electronics industries; future goodwill impairment; competition and pricing pressure; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, natural disasters; political, economic and military instability in countries in which the company operates; compliance with current and future environmental and other laws and regulations; the possible effects on us of changes in tax laws, tax treaties and other legislation; the risk that ADC will not be integrated successfully into TE Connectivity; and the risk that revenue opportunities, cost savings and other anticipated synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected.  More detailed information about these and other factors is set forth in TE Connectivity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept. 24, 2010 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended Dec. 24, 2010, as well as in TE Connectivity’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed by TE Connectivity with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
