News Release

Belden Delivers Solid Operating Results in Second Quarter 2012

St. Louis, Missouri - August 9, 2012 - Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, today reported second quarter 2012 results for the period ended July 1, 2012.

Second Quarter Highlights

 

   

Generated record gross profit margin of 31.4%, increasing 220 basis points from 29.2% in the year-ago period;

 

   

Achieved operating profit margin of 12.1%, increasing 260 basis points sequentially and 120 basis points year over year;

 

   

Successfully completed the acquisition of Miranda Technologies, Inc. in July 2012;

 

   

Purchased 776,240 shares of Belden common stock for $25.0 million during the quarter, bringing the total program-to-date shares retired to 3.05 million under the previously announced share repurchase program; and

 

   

Guided full year 2012 adjusted revenue, inclusive of Miranda, to a range of $1.95 – $1.97 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to a range of $2.95 – $3.05.

Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the quarter totaled $484.0 million, up 4% compared to $464.3 million in the first quarter 2012. Income from continuing operations per diluted share for the quarter totaled $0.92, compared to $0.52 per diluted share in the first quarter 2012 and $0.72 per diluted share in the second quarter 2011. The effective tax rate for the quarter was less than the 25.0% rate estimated in the Company’s previous guidance due to the timing within the year of favorable discrete tax items, which had a positive impact of $0.17 per diluted share.

John Stroup, President and CEO of Belden Inc., commented, “I am pleased with our second quarter results, including margin expansion both sequentially and year over year in all segments. Our ability to improve financial results in this challenging macroeconomic environment is a testament to our improved business portfolio, robust business systems and a talented team. Weakness in southern Europe and China was partially offset by strong performance in the Americas and Germany. We believe we’re navigating the current business climate well, and we are implementing responsible cost measures to ensure a strong position going forward.”

Outlook

“While I’m pleased with our execution, macroeconomic uncertainty is a concern. Therefore, we remain committed to funding our growth initiatives while closely managing our overall cost structure,” said Mr. Stroup.

For the full year 2012, the Company expects adjusted revenues to be $1.95 – $1.97 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $2.95 – $3.05. This guidance includes Miranda, with an adjusted impact of $80 million of revenue and $0.14 of income from continuing operations per diluted share. Additionally, 2012 guidance now excludes the full year expense related to the amortization of intangible assets from prior period acquisitions, with a favorable impact of $0.15 on income from continuing operations per diluted share. For comparison against our future adjusted results, the attached appendix for reconciliation of non-GAAP measures sets forth year to date and prior year results on a comparably adjusted basis.

“We expect our third quarter 2012 adjusted revenues to be $490 – $500 million and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $0.69 – $0.74.”

Adjusted results are non-GAAP measures that reflect certain adjustments the Company makes to provide insight into operating results. The Company’s outlook excludes restructuring activities, purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets from prior period acquisitions, and revenue and cost of sale deferrals.

Earnings Conference Call

BELDEN INC.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

2011 and YTD 2012

(Unaudited)

Acquisitions of networking and connectivity companies are critical to our long-term strategy, and Miranda is an example of an acquisition that we made in our networking platform. We expect to acquire additional networking and connectivity companies as we continue to expand. Connectivity and networking companies tend to have technology and other attributes that result in a greater portion of their value being attributed to intangible assets. We believe that presenting operating results adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangible assets, is useful for investors because it provides important insights into how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis, including when comparing actual results to budgeted operating results. In addition to excluding amortization of intangibles, adjusted results may exclude the effects of asset impairments, purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, revenue and cost of sales deferrals, severance charges, accelerated depreciation, gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of tangible assets, and other costs. Adjusted revenues and income from continuing operations also exclude the impact of any deferral of revenues and cost of sales required under revenue recognition rules applicable to our acquired Miranda operations. Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We present below a reconciliation, quarterly and full year, for 2011 and for the first and second quarters of 2012 of our GAAP operating income to adjusted (non-GAAP) income from continuing operations per diluted share. The adjusted results exclude amortization of intangibles, asset impairments, and severance and restructuring charges that were incurred during the covered periods. The results of Miranda are excluded from this reconciliation because we completed the acquisition in the third quarter of 2012. We have not presented a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures for the third quarter and full year 2012 guidance because we are unable to estimate the adjustment amounts.
