Arrow Electronics Reports Third Quarter Earnings
MELVILLE, N.Y. --(Business Wire)-- Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today reported third quarter 2008 net income of $76.1 million ($.64 and $.63 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $4.30 billion, compared with net income of $98.3 million ($.80 and $.79 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $4.03 billion in the third quarter of 2007. Sales increased 7 percent year over year. Pro forma to include the impact of the acquisition of LOGIX S.A. ("LOGIX"), sales increased 4 percent year over year. The company's results for the third quarters of 2008 and 2007 include a number of items outlined below that impact their comparability. A complete reconciliation of these items is provided under the heading "Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information." Excluding those items, on a non-GAAP basis, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, would have been $83.7 million ($.70 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, would have been $95.0 million ($.77 and $.76 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively).
"The volatility in the world's economies and the virtual shutdown of the credit markets made the third quarter especially difficult. We delivered on our sales guidance and generated over $200 million in cash flow from operations, an increase of $30 million year over year, but fell short of our EPS guidance due to a changing product mix and competitive pricing pressure," said William E. Mitchell, chairman and chief executive officer. "There is no doubt that market conditions will continue to be challenging, and in response to the rapidly changing environment, we will make the appropriate and necessary decisions and adjustments to our business model to ensure continuing and profitable success and long-term sustainability. We continue to believe our strategic foundation is correct, and we have the financial strength and flexibility to continue to pursue those strategies. At the same time, prudent management requires that we stay closely attuned to rapidly changing and volatile market conditions, and we will do so."
Global enterprise computing solutions ("ECS") sales of $1.31 billion increased 12 percent year over year. Pro forma to include the impact of the acquisition of LOGIX, sales increased 2 percent year over year. "ECS sales were in line with our guidance range, as double-digit year-over-year growth in storage, software and services was offset by weakness in servers. In North America, operating income margin increased nearly 9 percent year over year. As has been widely reported, the increasing uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment has caused IT spending to soften and as a result, our customer base became more cautious in the latter part of the third quarter," added Michael J. Long, president and chief operating officer.
Global components sales of $2.99 billion increased 5 percent year over year. "In our global components business, while sales were in line with expectations, operating performance was impacted by a slowdown in the more profitable business in North America and Europe and the increased contribution of business from Asia Pacific. Overall, the market continues to be cautious, with the macroeconomic situation causing our customers and suppliers to carefully evaluate their business needs," Mr. Long said.
The company's results for the third quarter of 2008 and 2007 include the items outlined below that impact their comparability:
-- During the third quarter of 2008, the company recorded a restructuring and integration charge of $11.0 million ($7.6 million net of related taxes or $.06 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies.
-- During the third quarter of 2007, the company recorded a restructuring and integration charge of $4.5 million ($2.7 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies and the acquisition of KeyLink.
-- During the third quarter of 2007, the company recorded an income tax benefit of $6.0 million, net, ($.05 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) principally due to a reduction in deferred income taxes as a result of the reduction in the statutory tax rate in Germany.
NINE-MONTH RESULTS
Arrow's net income for the first nine months of 2008 was $258.2 million ($2.13 and $2.11 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $12.67 billion, compared with net income of $293.8 million ($2.38 and $2.36 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) on sales of $11.57 billion in the first nine months of 2007. Sales in the first nine months of 2008 increased 10 percent year over year. Pro forma to include the impact of the acquisitions of LOGIX and KeyLink Systems Group, sales increased 5 percent year over year.
Net income for the first nine months of 2008 includes a restructuring and integration charge of $25.7 million ($17.7 million net of related taxes or $.15 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) primarily related to initiatives taken by the company to improve operating efficiencies and a charge, including legal fees, related to a preference claim from 2001 of $12.9 million ($7.8 million net of related taxes or $.06 per share on both a basic and diluted basis). Excluding these items, net income would have been $283.7 million ($2.34 and $2.32 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) for the first nine months of 2008.
Net income for the first nine months of 2007 includes restructuring and integration charges of $1.8 million ($0.4 million net of related taxes), primarily related to initiatives taken by the company in the period to improve operating efficiencies and the acquisition of KeyLink, and an income tax benefit of $6.0 million, net, ($.05 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) principally due to a decrease in deferred income taxes as a result of a reduction in the statutory tax rate in Germany. Excluding these items, net income would have been $288.2 million ($2.34 and $2.31 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively) for the first nine months of 2007.
GUIDANCE
"Given the poor economic conditions and unprecedented volatility in the financial markets, our visibility is more limited than normal. Taking this into account, we believe it is prudent to provide a wider than normal guidance range to account for the greater degree of uncertainty. Looking ahead, we believe total fourth quarter sales will be between $4.05 and $4.45 billion, with global component sales between $2.45 and $2.75 billion and global enterprise computing solutions sales between $1.60 and $1.70 billion. We expect earnings per share, on a diluted basis, excluding any charges, to be in the range of $.60 to $.68," said Paul J. Reilly, senior vice president and chief financial officer.
Arrow Electronics (www.arrow.com) is a global provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions.

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 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 and certain legal and tax 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.
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 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.

*During the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, the company
recorded an income tax benefit of $6.0 million, net ($.05 per share
on both a basic and diluted basis) principally due to a reduction in
deferred income taxes as a result of the statutory tax rate change
in Germany. These deferred income taxes primarily related to the
amortization of intangible assets for income tax purposes, which are
not amortized for accounting purposes.
