PEMBROKE, Bermuda, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tyco Electronics Ltd. today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 27, 2009. The company reported net sales of $2.5 billion for the fiscal second quarter, a decrease of 33 percent compared to the prior-year period. Excluding currency effects, the organic sales decline was 28 percent. The GAAP loss per share from continuing operations was $7.08 for the quarter, compared to diluted EPS of $0.62 in the prior-year period. Included in the loss per share from continuing operations were $7.22 per share of charges -- comprised of $6.60 per share of goodwill impairment charges, $0.33 per share of restructuring charges and $0.29 per share of charges related to the company's remaining portion of Tyco International pre-separation securities litigation charges. This compares to $0.05 per share of charges in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations were $0.14 in the quarter, including the benefits of a more favorable tax rate versus the company's prior guidance. Adjusted EPS declined 79 percent from last year's adjusted EPS of $0.67.

"As expected, business conditions were weak across most of our end markets," said Tyco Electronics Chief Executive Officer Tom Lynch. "Despite these challenging conditions, we continued to execute on our strategy to focus on our core connectivity business, improve our cost structure, and position the company for accelerated growth when markets recover. We had strong cash flow during the quarter, generating more than $380 million of free cash flow, driven primarily by working capital reductions and lower capital spending. In addition, we announced last week that we entered into an agreement with Harris Corporation to sell our Wireless Systems business for $675 million and this substantially completes the divestiture program we initiated at separation."

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 fiscal quarter ended Mar. 28, 2008 unless otherwise indicated.

    Adjusted Operating Margin          3.1%         14.0%

The GAAP operating loss was $3.8 billion, compared to $501 million of income in the prior-year period. Included in the current quarter operating loss were goodwill impairment charges of $3.5 billion, restructuring charges of $196 million and pre-separation litigation charges of $135 million. Included in prior-year operating income were $26 million of restructuring costs, pre-separation litigation charges of $23 million, and a $36 million pre-tax gain on the sale of real estate. Excluding these items in both periods, adjusted operating income was $76 million compared to $514 million a year ago, a decrease of 85 percent. The adjusted operating margin was 3.1 percent, compared to 14.0 percent a year ago -- reflecting a 33 percent decline in sales, primarily in the company's Electronic Components, Networks Solutions and Specialty Products segments.

CASH FLOW

Cash from continuing operations was $424 million during the quarter, which included a $283 million reduction of primary working capital. Free cash flow was $382 million, compared to $349 million in the prior year period. The increase in free cash flow was driven by primary working capital reductions, as well as a 39 percent decline in capital expenditures versus the prior year.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS

  • The company reported a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.5 billion. This charge is the result of significant sales and earnings declines in the company's Electronic Components and Specialty Products segments.
  • The company reported $135 million of charges related to its remaining portion (31 percent) of pre-separation Tyco International securities litigation. The charges include the settlement of two cases in the quarter, as well as establishment of a reserve for the remaining securities litigation under the parties' separation and distribution agreement.
  • On April 16, 2009, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Wireless Systems business to Harris Corporation for $675 million in cash. The company will report the results of the Wireless Systems business as a discontinued operation beginning with its fiscal third quarter, ending June 26, 2009. The transaction, subject to customary regulatory approvals, is expected to close during the summer.
  • In January, the company's Board of Directors approved a proposed change of the company's place of incorporation from Bermuda to Switzerland. Shareholders will be asked to approve the proposal at a Special General Meeting of Shareholders on June 22, 2009. If approved, the company would implement the change as soon as practicable.
  • Beginning with the current quarter, the company is reporting its Specialty Products group as an additional segment. This new segment consists of four businesses previously reported in the Electronic Components segment: Aerospace, Defense and Marine; Medical Products; Touch Systems; and Circuit Protection. A reclassification of prior period results was included in an 8-K filed on April 27, 2009.

ORDERS

Total company orders declined 42 percent compared to the prior year. On an organic basis, excluding the effects of currency translation, orders declined 38 percent and the book-to-bill ratio was 0.90. Excluding the company's Undersea Telecommunications and Wireless Systems segments, which are project-oriented businesses with uneven order patterns, orders declined 44 percent overall and 39 percent organically in the quarter, and the book-to-bill ratio was 0.95.

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2009 OUTLOOK

For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and excluding the results of the company's Wireless Systems segment which will be reported as a discontinued operation, the company expects sales of $2.35 billion to $2.45 billion, a decline of 35 to 38 percent below prior-year sales of $3.8 billion, with an organic sales decline of 30 to 33 percent. The company expects income from operations of $0 to $30 million, which includes restructuring charges of approximately $40 million. Adjusted operating income is expected to be $40 million to $70 million. GAAP loss per share from continuing operations is expected to be $0.00 to $0.05, including restructuring charges of approximately $0.06 per share. Adjusted EPS from continuing operations are expected to be $0.01 to $0.06, compared to adjusted EPS of $0.63 in the prior-year period. This outlook assumes current foreign exchange rates. Amounts for the prior year period are estimated assuming the Wireless Systems segment is reported as a discontinued operation.

Lynch said, "Our outlook assumes a slight sequential improvement in sales. We expect our sales to consumer-related end markets, including automotive, to increase about 10 percent sequentially. This will be mostly offset by declines in the industrial markets we serve. The sequential decline in adjusted operating income is due to our continued inventory reduction efforts, which will more than offset the savings from our cost reduction programs. We expect that the impact of inventory reductions on our profitability will be substantially reduced by the end of the third quarter."

On an organic basis, the company experienced declines across all end-markets, including automotive (-49 percent), computer (-37 percent), communications (-29 percent) and industrial (-37 percent) markets. On a regional basis, Europe declined 43 percent, North America declined 36 percent, and Asia declined 42 percent.

Operating income decreased by $4.0 billion and adjusted operating income decreased by $373 million. The adjusted operating margin decreased primarily due to the sales declines and the negative impact of lower production to reduce inventory, partially offset by the company's cost reduction activities.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

"Organic Sales Growth," "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted Operating Margin," "Adjusted Income Tax Benefit (Expense)," "Adjusted (Loss) 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. 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 charges related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring charges, impairment charges 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 settlements and reserves, restructuring charges, impairment charges 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 its operating margin before unusual items including charges related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring charges 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.

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

The company has presented (loss) income from continuing operations before unusual items including charges related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring charges, impairment charges, tax sharing income related to the adoption of FIN 48, other income or charges and, if applicable, related tax effects ("Adjusted (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations"). The company presents Adjusted (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations as we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted (Loss) 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 (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations and (loss) income from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP measure) consists of the impact of charges related to litigation settlements and reserves, restructuring charges, impairment charges, other income or charges and 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 (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations in combination with (loss) income from continuing operations (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 adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is earnings per share from continuing operations before unusual items, including charges related to legal settlements and reserves, restructuring charges, impairment charges, tax sharing income related to the adoption of FIN 48 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.

"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, and
  • 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.
