Analyst · Bank of America
Thank you, Beth. Hello, everyone. I'd ask you to please refer to Slide 3. Net revenue for the second quarter was $4.4 billion, an increase of 4% on a year-over-year basis. GAAP operating income was $149 million or 3.4% of revenue. This compares to $150 million of GAAP operating income and revenues of $4.2 billion or 3.5% for the same period in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.43. Core operating income, excluding the amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation decreased 3% to $170 million, representing 3.9% of revenue. This compares to $176 million or 4.2% for the same period in the prior year. Core diluted earnings per share were $0.53. During the quarter, our diligence pertaining to the announced acquisition of Nypro, accelerated faster than planned. As such, our core operating income included $5 million of costs above our previous forecast. We anticipate the acquisition to close in our fourth fiscal quarter subject to Nypro, ESOP and shareholder votes and customary regulatory approvals. If you now please turn to Slide 4, for our discussion of our segment performance. In the second quarter, our Diversified Manufacturing Services segment grew 11% on a year-over-year basis, driven by another strong quarter in Specialized Services while offset by continued weakness in our Industrial & Clean Tech and Instrumentation sectors. Revenue for this segment is approximately $2.07 billion, representing 47% of total company revenue. Core operating income for the segment in the quarter was 5.4% of revenue. Core operating income as a percent of revenue was negatively impacted by 20 to 30 basis points as a result of the aforementioned Nypro-related acquisition costs. The Enterprise & Infrastructure segment increased 12% on a year-over-year basis. Revenue was approximately $1.36 billion, representing 31% of total company revenue in the quarter. Core operating income in the segment increased by 30 basis points on a sequential basis to 2.7% of revenue. We're pleased with this improvement in operating margin performance, a positive step towards our goal of achieving 3% operating margin by the end of the fiscal year. And finally, the High Velocity segment decreased 15% on a year-over-year basis, driven primarily by lower handset volumes. Revenue was $988 million, representing approximately 22% of total company revenue. Core operating income for this segment was 2.3% of revenue. I'd now ask you to refer to Slide 5. We ended the quarter with cash balances of approximately $1.06 billion. For the 6 months ended, cash flows from operations was $306 million. Turning to the quarter, our sales cycle expanded by 3 days, primarily as a result of inventory growth. During the second half of the fiscal year, inventory levels are expected to decline to those historical levels, thus positioning us to generate $1 billion of cash flow from operations in the fiscal year, as previously indicated. Our core EBITDA for the 6 months ended was approximately $551 million, representing 6.1% of revenue and our GAAP return on invested capital for the 6-month period was 19%. If you now please turn to Slide 6, and I'll review our updated capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the first half of fiscal '13 were approximately $360 million as expected. The majority of these investments are being focused towards our Diversified Manufacturing Services segment. Capital expenditures for the full fiscal year were previously expected to be $500 million. We now estimate these expenditures to be approximately $700 million. I'd like to take a moment to discuss these additional investments. $100 million will be associated with the addition of approximately 1 million square feet of manufacturing footprint and associated infrastructure in China; $50 million of associated IT and infrastructure, and I would like to remind you that last calendar year, we signed an agreement to establish a site in Chengdu, China. Part of these investments relate to bringing the first phase of this capacity online. And finally, $50 million, which will also be invested in ongoing expansion in Taiwan of infrastructure associated with capabilities such as automation, material sciences and research and development. These investments position us extremely well for continued growth and differentiation as we move into our fiscal year 2014. If you now please turn to Slides 8 and 9, I'll discuss our third quarter's guidance. As a result of continued macro weakness and multiple product transitions underway, we expect revenue and income guidance to be consistent with that of the second fiscal quarter guidance. In the third quarter, we expect revenue on a year-over-year basis to increase approximately 4% to be within the range of $4.3 billion to $4.5 billion. Core operating income is estimated to be in the range of $165 million to $185 million and core operating margin in the range of 3.8% to 4.1%. Our GAAP earnings per share are estimated to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.48 per diluted share and core earnings per share are estimated to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.58 per diluted share. This has been based upon a diluted share count of 208 million shares. Based on the current estimates of production, our tax rate on core operating income is expected to remain at 22% for the quarter and the fiscal year. Turning to our segments, and our year-on-year performance, both the Diversified Manufacturing Services segment and the Enterprise & Infrastructure segment are expected to be consistent while our High Velocity segment is expected to increase 13% on a year-over-year basis. Sequentially, our Diversified Manufacturing Services segment is anticipated to decline 10% as a result of current market conditions and multiple product transitions underway. We expect sequential growth to resume in our fourth fiscal quarter. Sequential growth in our High Velocity segment is being driven from a base of typical seasonal lows in printing and set-top boxes, along with the ramp of the new handset program. We are confident that our Diversified Manufacturing Services and High Velocity segments' core operating margins shall be in the long-term targeted ranges in the upcoming third quarter. As I previously noted, we are pleased with the progress we are making in the Enterprise & Infrastructure segment towards a 3% operating margin by the end of the fiscal year. I'd now like to hand the call over to Mark Mondello.
