Insight Enterprises, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2008 Results
TEMPE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- Insight Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: NSIT) (the "Company") today reported results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
First Quarter Highlights
-- Net sales for the first quarter of 2008 decreased 1% to $1.11 billion.
-- Gross profit for the first quarter remained flat at $153.2 million.
-- Net earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter decreased 14% to $10.5 million.
-- Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the first quarter decreased 12% to $0.22.
-- First quarter 2008 results from continuing operations include $1.9 million, $1.1 million net of tax, for severance and restructuring expenses. First quarter 2007 results include expenses of $5.7 million, $3.5 million net of tax, for professional fees and costs associated with our stock option review.
"The first quarter of 2008 was a very challenging quarter for our business. While overall our EMEA and APAC segments performed as expected, our North America segment did not meet our internal expectations for profitability during the quarter," stated Rich Fennessy, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As a result, we implemented a number of critical actions across our business focused on increasing net sales and gross profit and reducing our expense base to improve our overall earnings performance for the balance of the year in this challenging market environment," added Fennessy. Segment Overview
Net sales in North America decreased 1% to $766.4 million primarily due to a softer U.S. IT market and a double digit year-over-year decrease in our net sales to SMB clients, as the Company continued to address certain integration issues with the IT system upgrade that commenced in the second half of 2007. Gross margin in North America decreased by approximately 80 basis points from the first quarter of 2007 primarily due to lower net sales to SMB clients, which are generally conducted at higher gross margins, and decreases in product margins, including vendor funding, primarily driven by market pricing pressures. Earnings from operations in North America were $5.4 million lower than the first quarter of 2007. These 2008 results include $1.0 million in severance and restructuring expenses, while the first quarter 2007 results include $5.2 million in professional fees and costs associated with our stock option review. Thus, excluding the effects of the stock option review, our North American results were substantially lower in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Net sales in EMEA decreased 3%, or $9.2 million, to $318.2 million reflecting a decline in sales in the United Kingdom and a continued shift toward fee-based enterprise agreements where only the referral fee is recognized as net sales with no costs of goods sold. This decline was partially offset by the foreign currency benefit of the weak U.S. dollar compared to the various European currencies of the countries in which the Company does business. The United Kingdom-based hardware business accounted for $4.6 million of the overall decline; however it should be noted that in the United Kingdom, there were two less shipping days in the quarter compared to the first quarter of last year. Within the United Kingdom, while the market conditions are challenging and show signs of continued weakness going into the second quarter, we believe that the majority of the net sales decline in the first quarter was related to internal sales execution issues early in the quarter. The Company addressed these issues immediately, and, as a result, saw stronger results in March compared to the first two months of the quarter. Gross margin in EMEA increased to 14.3% from 11.8% in the first quarter of last year resulting from strong software category performance and the continued migration to fee-based enterprise agreements. Earnings from operations in the EMEA segment increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2007 to $7.0 million reflecting higher gross profit partially offset by increases in selling and administrative expenses from increased headcount and severance expenses of $869,000.
Net sales in APAC increased 19% to $23.1 million with gross margin on these sales of 16.3%. The loss from operations in this segment during the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $440,000 reflected the typical seasonality of this business and the hiring of experienced software sales and support teammates during the quarter. UPDATED GUIDANCE
Given the challenges that the Company faced during the first quarter and the uncertain macro-economic outlook for 2008, the Company now expects full-year diluted earnings per share to be between $1.50 and $1.60 with approximately 50% coming in the first half of the year. This estimate includes no severance, restructuring or other one-time charges. This guidance reflects management's expectations for the balance of 2008, but the factors that could affect performance, as noted below, are numerous, and short-term results in this difficult economy could be more volatile and unpredictable than usual.
