CommScope Reports Fourth Quarter 2017 Results
CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in
infrastructure solutions for communications networks, reported sales of
$1.12 billion and net income of $54 million, or $0.27 per diluted share,
for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Non-GAAP adjusted net income
for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $91 million, or $0.47 per diluted
share. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results is
attached.
In comparison, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, CommScope
reported sales of $1.18 billion and net income of $54 million, $0.28 per
diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of
2016 was $121 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.
"We are pleased to deliver fourth quarter results consistent with our
expectations despite lingering volatility in customer order patterns and
near-term raw material cost pressures," said President and Chief
Executive Officer Eddie Edwards. "While 2017 was challenging across the
industry, we made significant progress in strengthening CommScope for
the long term. During the year, we substantially completed a complex
systems integration, delivered on significant product development,
extended a long-term optical fiber supply partnership and achieved our
capital allocation priorities of strategically reinvesting in the
business while repaying debt and returning capital to shareholders.
"Looking ahead, we are expecting more normalized customer order patterns
and preparing to capitalize on numerous global developments to ensure we
return to growth in 2018. We believe there are significant opportunities
ahead and are confident in our ability to leverage FirstNet and fiber
deep network deployments, expansion within the hyperscale data centers
and our compelling quick turn capabilities. We have developed a platform
of world-class differentiated solutions and services and are well
positioned for value creation in 2018 and beyond."
Fourth Quarter 2017 Overview
Fourth quarter 2017 sales decreased 5 percent year over year with growth
in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Central America and
Latin America (CALA) regions more than offset by declines in other
regions, most notably in the U.S. Foreign exchange rate changes
positively impacted revenue by about 1.5 percent year over year.
GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2017 declined 23 percent
year over year to $92 million. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which
excludes amortization of purchased intangibles, integration and
transaction costs, restructuring costs and other special items, declined
21 percent year over year to $199 million. The decreases in operating
income and non-GAAP adjusted operating income were primarily driven by
lower sales volumes and the impact from higher commodity prices,
partially offset by the benefit of cost reduction initiatives and lower
incentive compensation expense.
Fourth Quarter 2017 Segment Overview
Fourth quarter Connectivity Solutions segment sales increased 2 percent
year over year to $694 million with growth in international markets more
than offsetting a modest decline domestically. Foreign exchange rate
changes positively impacted revenue by about 1 percent from the year-ago
period.
Connectivity Solutions GAAP operating income increased 11 percent year
over year to $48 million, while non-GAAP adjusted operating income
decreased 10 percent year over year to $125 million. GAAP operating
income improved year over year due to lower integration and transaction
costs in 2017 and an impairment charge recorded in 2016. The decrease in
non-GAAP adjusted operating income was primarily driven by higher
commodity prices, partially offset by the benefit of cost reduction
initiatives.
Fourth quarter Mobility Solutions segment sales declined 14 percent year
over year to $427 million. Year-over-year growth in the EMEA region was
more than offset by declines in all other major geographic regions, most
notably North America. Foreign exchange rate changes had a positive
impact of about 2 percent on sales compared to the year-ago period.
Mobility Solutions GAAP operating income declined 43 percent year over
year to $43 million, and non-GAAP adjusted operating income decreased 35
percent year over year to $74 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted
operating income were impacted by lower sales volumes, partially offset
by lower incentive compensation expense.
Full Year 2017 Overview
For 2017, sales declined 7 percent to $4.56 billion driven by overall
softness in the market that was exacerbated by M&A-related pauses in
customer spending. Foreign exchange rate changes had a negligible impact
to sales in 2017 compared to the prior year.
GAAP operating income decreased 17 percent to $478 million and non-GAAP
adjusted operating income declined 16 percent to $882 million versus
prior year results, primarily due to lower sales volumes, unfavorable
geographic and product mix and the negative impact from higher commodity
prices. These declines were partially offset by cost reduction
initiatives and lower incentive compensation expense. CommScope realized
over $170 million in BNS cost synergies during the two years ended
December 31, 2017. It plans to realize at least an additional $30
million by the end of 2018.
Full Year 2017 Segment Overview
Connectivity Solutions segment sales declined 5 percent to $2.81
billion, primarily due to declines in all major geographic regions
except the EMEA region. Foreign exchange rate changes had a negligible
impact to sales in 2017 compared to the prior year.
Connectivity Solutions GAAP operating income declined 17 percent to $242
million. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income for the segment decreased 17
percent to $526 million, or 19 percent of sales. The decreases in GAAP
and non-GAAP adjusted operating income were driven by lower sales
volumes, price reductions, unfavorable geographic and product mix and
higher commodity costs. The decreases were partly offset by cost
reduction initiatives and lower incentive compensation expense.
Mobility Solutions segment sales declined 11 percent to $1.75 billion
with declines in all major geographic regions. Foreign exchange rate
changes had a negligible impact on sales in 2017 compared to the prior
year.
Mobility Solutions GAAP operating income declined 17 percent to $236
million. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income for the segment decreased by
15 percent to $356 million, or 20 percent of sales. The decline was
largely due to lower sales volumes, price reductions and unfavorable
geographic mix, partly offset by lower incentive compensation expense.
Stock Repurchase Program
In 2017, the Board of Directors authorized two separate $100 million
stock repurchases of CommScope's outstanding common stock. Since the
initial authorization, the company repurchased $175 million of its
common stock, or 4.8 million shares, at an average cost of $36.50 per
share. There is $25 million remaining authorized under the stock
repurchase program that expires on July 31, 2018.
Debt Repayment
The company voluntarily repaid a net $210 million in debt during 2017
and delivered on its target to repay more than $1 billion of its debt
since the BNS acquisition in August 2015. The next debt maturity is not
until 2021.
Outlook
CommScope management provided the following first quarter and full year
2018 guidance.
First Quarter 2018 Guidance:
-
Revenue of $1.085 billion - $1.135 billion
-
Operating income of $93 million - $108 million
-
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $175 million - $195 million
-
Non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 29 percent - 30
percent
-
Earnings per diluted share of $0.13 - $0.16, based on 196 million
weighted average diluted shares
-
Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.44 - $0.49
Full Year 2018 Guidance:
-
Revenue of $4.675 billion - $4.825 billion
-
Operating income of $615 million - $660 million
-
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $935 million - $985 million
-
Non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 29 percent - 30
percent
-
Earnings per diluted share of $1.46 - $1.58, based on 196 million
weighted average diluted shares
-
Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.56 - $2.71
-
Cash flow from operations > $600 million
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP outlook is attached.
Management currently expects a non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate for
2018 to be in the range of 29 percent to 30 percent. This non-GAAP
adjusted effective tax rate does not reflect any potential impact from
finalizing the estimated one-time benefits realized in the fourth
quarter of 2017 resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial
measures enhances an investor's understanding of our financial
performance. CommScope management further believes that these financial
measures are useful in assessing CommScope's operating performance from
period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not
representative of our core business. CommScope management also uses
certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and
in measuring CommScope's performance relative to that of its
competitors. CommScope management believes these financial measures are
commonly used by investors to evaluate CommScope's performance and that
of its competitors. However, CommScope's use of the terms non-GAAP
adjusted operating income, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted
net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share may vary from that
of others in its industry. These financial measures should not be
considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss)
or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP
as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release or any other oral or written statements made by us or
on our behalf may include forward-looking statements that reflect our
current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
These forward-looking statements are generally identified by their use
of such terms and phrases as "intend," "goal," "estimate," "expect,"
"project," "projections," "plans," "anticipate," "should," "could,"
"designed to," "foreseeable future," "believe," "think," "scheduled,"
"outlook," "target," "guidance" and similar expressions, although not
all forward-looking statements contain such terms. This list of
indicative terms and phrases is not intended to be all-inclusive.
These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of
which are outside our control, including, without limitation, our
dependence on customers' capital spending on data and communication
systems; concentration of sales among a limited number of customers and
channel partners; changes in technology; industry competition and the
ability to retain customers through product innovation, and marketing;
risks associated with our sales through channel partners; changes to the
regulatory environment in which our customers operate; product quality
or performance issues and associated warranty claims; our ability to
maintain effective management information systems and to successfully
implement major systems initiatives; cyber-security incidents, including
data security breaches, ransomware or computer viruses; the risk our
global manufacturing operations suffer production or shipping delays,
causing difficulty in meeting customer demands; the risk that internal
production capacity or that of contract manufacturers may be
insufficient to meet customer demand or quality standards; changes in
cost and availability of key raw materials, components and commodities
and the potential effect on customer pricing; risks associated with our
dependence on a limited number of key suppliers for certain raw material
and components; the risk that our contract manufacturers encounter
production, quality, financial or other difficulties; our ability to
fully realize anticipated benefits from prior or future acquisitions or
equity investments; potential difficulties in realigning global
manufacturing capacity and capabilities among our global manufacturing
facilities that may affect our ability to meet customer demands for
products; possible future restructuring actions; substantial
indebtedness and maintaining compliance with debt covenants; our ability
to incur additional indebtedness; our ability to generate cash to
service our indebtedness; possible future impairment charges for fixed
or intangible assets, including goodwill; income tax rate variability
and ability to recover amounts recorded as deferred tax assets; our
ability to attract and retain qualified key employees; labor unrest;
obligations under our defined benefit employee benefit plans may require
plan contributions in excess of current estimates; significant
international operations exposing us to economic, political and other
risks, including the impact of variability in foreign exchange rates;
our ability to comply with governmental anti-corruption laws and
regulations and export and import controls worldwide; our ability to
compete in international markets due to export and import controls to
which we may be subject; changes in the laws and policies in the United
States affecting trade; cost of protecting or defending intellectual
property; costs and challenges of compliance with domestic and foreign
environmental laws; risks associated with stockholder activism, which
could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our
business strategy and impact the trading value of our securities; and
other factors beyond our control. These and other factors are discussed
in greater detail in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although the
information contained in this press release represents our best judgment
as of the date of this report based on information currently available
and reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the
expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be
material. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date made. We are not undertaking any duty or obligation to update this
information to reflect developments or information obtained after the
date of this report, except as otherwise may be required by law.

(3) The tax rates applied to adjustments reflect the tax expense or
benefit based on the tax jurisdiction of the entity generating the
adjustment. There are certain items for which we expect little or no
tax effect. Given the complexities of the U.S. tax legislation
enacted in late 2017, we applied a non-GAAP effective tax rate of
35% for the fourth quarter, consistent with the adjusted rate in
prior quarters in 2017.

and other special items. Actual adjustments may vary from
projections.

(2) The tax rates applied to projected adjustments reflect the tax
expense or benefit based on the expected tax jurisdiction of the
entity generating the projected adjustments. There are certain items
for which we expect little or no tax effect.

restructuring activities, asset impairments, debt extinguishments,
additional transaction and integration costs, foreign exchange rate
