Jabil Posts Second Quarter Results

Operational Performance Drives Strong Results

St. Petersburg, FL – March 18, 2015...Today Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE: JBL), reported preliminary, unaudited financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2015. The company reported second quarter net revenue of $4.3 billion, a 20 percent increase from the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.

“I am extremely pleased with our strong operational performance during the quarter. We’re having a great year, as we remain focused on our key priorities. Priorities being growth of earnings, delivering innovative solutions to our customers, taking great care of our employees, and expanding our broad-based capabilities,” said Mark T. Mondello, Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to have success in diversifying our business, which I believe will increase our resiliency during this time of ever-increasing change in the markets we serve,” he added.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) operating income for the second quarter was $124.9 million and U.S. GAAP net diluted earnings per share was $0.27. Core operating income (as defined below) was $166.0 million and core diluted earnings per share (as defined below) was $0.50.

Jabil’s two reporting segments delivered the following revenue results for the company’s second fiscal quarter:

 

    Electronics Manufacturing Services: $2.6 billion.

 

    Diversified Manufacturing Services: $1.7 billion.

(Definitions used: “U.S. GAAP” means U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Jabil defines core operating income as U.S. GAAP operating income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges and goodwill impairment charges. Jabil defines core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations and certain other expenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax valuation allowance charges. Jabil defines core diluted earnings per share as core earnings divided by the weighted average number of outstanding diluted shares as determined under U.S. GAAP. Jabil calculates its core return on invested capital by annualizing its after-tax core operating income for its most recently ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter average net invested capital base. Jabil reports core operating income, core earnings, core diluted and basic earnings per share and core return on invested capital to provide investors an additional method for assessing operating income, earnings, diluted earnings per share and return on invested capital from what it believes are its core manufacturing operations. See the accompanying reconciliation of Jabil’s core operating income to its U.S. GAAP operating income, its calculation of core earnings and core diluted earnings per share to its U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per share, its calculation of core return on invested capital and additional information in the supplemental information.)

CALCULATION OF RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

AND CORE RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

The Company calculates: (1) its “Return on Invested Capital” by annualizing its “after-tax U.S. GAAP operating income” for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter average of its “net invested capital asset base” and (2) its “Core Return on Invested Capital” by annualizing its “after-tax non-U.S. GAAP core operating income” for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter “average net invested capital asset base.”

The Company calculates: (1) its “after-tax U.S. GAAP operating income” by subtracting a certain tax effect (the calculation of which is explained below) from its U.S. GAAP operating income and (2) its “after-tax non-U.S. GAAP core operating income” as its non-U.S. GAAP core operating income less a certain tax effect (the calculation of which is explained below). See elsewhere in this earnings release for a reconciliation of the Company’s non-U.S. GAAP core operating income to its U.S. GAAP operating income.

The Company calculates its “average net invested capital asset base” as the sum of the averages (the calculations of which are explained below) of its stockholders’ equity, current and non-current portions of its notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations less the average (the calculation of which is explained below) of its cash and cash equivalents.

The following table reconciles (1) “Return on Invested Capital,” as calculated using “after-tax U.S. GAAP operating income” to (2) “Core Return on Invested Capital,” as calculated using “after-tax non-U.S. GAAP core operating income”:

(1) This amount is calculated by adding the amount of income taxes attributable to its operating income (U.S. GAAP) and its interest expense.
(2) This amount is calculated by adding the amount of income taxes attributable to its core operating income (Non-U.S. GAAP) and its interest expense.
(3) The average is based on the addition of the account balance at the end of the most recently-ended quarter to the account balance at the end of the prior quarter and dividing by two.
