Second-Quarter 2011 CFO Commentary
As reflected in our earnings release, there are a number of items that impact the comparability of our results with those in the trailing quarter and the second quarter of last year. Any discussion of our results will exclude these items to give you a better sense of our operating results. As always, the operating information we provide to you should be used as a complement to GAAP numbers. For a complete reconciliation between our GAAP and Non-GAAP results, please refer to our earnings release or the earnings reconciliation found at the end of this document.
Second-Quarter Summary
On a pro forma basis revenues grew 8% and gross and operating margins increased 30 and 40 basis points year over year, respectively. EPS of $1.36 represents the highest level in Arrow’s history. Our returns reflect our ability to create shareholder value:
● |
Return on invested capital of 13.6% is within our long-term target range
|
● |
Return on working capital of 31.9% remains ahead of our long-term target
|
We have demonstrated our ability to deliver excellent growth over the past 2 years and to create lasting shareholder value through accelerating growth in EPS, generating returns on invested capital well in excess of our weighted average cost of capital, and being cash flow positive.
In the second quarter, sales in our ECS business once again exhibited superb year-over-year growth, increasing 23% with strength in both the Americas and Europe. Sales were ahead of normal seasonality with very strong double-digit sequential increases in all product lines. We expect healthy demand to continue in the third quarter with sales in line with the midpoint of normal sequential seasonality.
In global components, sales growth was very strong again this quarter, driven by terrific year-over-year increases across a wide number of product sets and vertical markets in our core components businesses around the globe. On a sequential basis, sales were in line with normal seasonality, though slightly below our expectations for another quarter of above seasonal growth. This was due to a modest oversupply of inventory in the supply chain as well as uncertainty surrounding the global macroeconomic outlook. Due to these factors, we believe third quarter sales will be in line with the low end of normal sequential seasonality.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
●
|
Working Capital
|
We continue to effectively manage all levers of our working capital and working capital to sales of $.14 remains at the low end of our long-term target range. Return on working capital of 31.9% is the second highest second-quarter level in the past five years, and remains above our long-term target.
9
●
|
Return on Invested Capital
|
Return on invested capital of 13.6% is considerably ahead of our weighted average cost of capital and is within our long-term targets. This is a key driver in creating lasting shareholder value.
●
|
Cash Flow from Operations
|
We generated $35 million in cash from operations in the second quarter even as we continued to support growth initiatives on both sides of the business. On a trailing twelve month basis, we generated $290 million in cash from operations, during a period where we were investing in the business.
●
|
Share Buyback
|
We completed our previously announced $50 million buyback authorization during the second quarter bringing the total amount returned to shareholders to $250 million over the past two years. The average price of the repurchases was $31.31. Our board just approved an incremental $100 million repurchase authorization as we believe this is an effective method of returning capital to investors.
●
|
Debt and Liquidity
|
Our balance sheet and capital structure remain strong with conservative debt levels, and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of approximately 1.4x. Our financial position remains extremely strong, and we have $1.4 billion in committed liquidity facilities in addition to our cash of more than $500 million. Thus we now have the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace.
Third-Quarter 2011 Guidance
● | Consolidated Sales | $5.15Bn to $5.55Bn | |
m Global Components | $3.76Bn to $3.96Bn | ||
m Global ECS | $1.39Bn to $1.59Bn | ||
● | Diluted EPS | $1.17 to $1.29 |
In the third quarter, we would expect global ECS sales to be in line with the midpoint of normal seasonality. Sales in our core global components business are expected to be in line with the low end of normal seasonality, reflecting an oversupply of inventory in the supply chain at the end of the second quarter and weaker global macroeconomic conditions.

Risk Factors
The discussion of the company’s business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which the company is or may become subject. If any of the described events occur, the company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, or access to the capital markets could be materially adversely affected. In addition to the risk factors contained in Item 1A in the 2010 Annual Report for Form 10-K, we have added the following risk factor:
The recent earthquake and tsunami, and other collateral events, in Japan may negatively impact our supply of products or cause shortages of some components, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business.
As a result of the effects of the earthquake and tsunami that recently occurred in Japan, including the resultant nuclear crisis, certain of the company’s vendors may be unable to deliver sufficient quantities of components or deliver them in a timely manner. Further, depending on the length of these disruptions, we may need to locate alternate suppliers to fulfill our customers’ needs. While it is too early to predict what impact this crisis will have, it could have a material adverse affect on the company’s business.
Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information relating to operating income, net income attributable to shareholders and net income per basic and diluted share, each as adjusted for certain charges, credits and losses that the company believes impact the comparability of its results of operations. These charges, credits and losses arise out of the company's efficiency enhancement initiatives, acquisitions, prepayment of debt, and settlement of certain legal matters. A reconciliation of the company's non-GAAP financial information to GAAP is set forth in the table below.
The company believes that such non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the company's operating performance and underlying trends in the company's business because management considers the charges, credits and losses referred to above to be outside the company's core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company's financial and operating performance. In addition, the company's Board of Directors may use this non-GAAP financial information in evaluating management performance and setting management compensation.
12
The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or alternative to, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders and net income per basic and diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.
