IRVINE, CA—(Marketwired – Jul 28, 2016) – Ingram Micro Inc. (
NYSE
:
IM
) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended Jul. 2, 2016.

“As anticipated, after a slow start to the year, Ingram Micro executed well on regaining market share combined with better demand in the 2016 second quarter,” said Alain Monié, Ingram Micro CEO. “This combination was evidenced by solid sequential revenue growth across all geographic regions as compared to the 2016 first quarter. Our teams did a good job balancing revenue opportunities with profit and return on capital objectives, resulting in improved profitability for the quarter, both sequentially and year–over–year, including an 88 basis point year–over–year improvement in 2016 second quarter gross margin reflecting our continued focus on increasing our services mix.”

Second Quarter Results of Operations
Worldwide 2016 second quarter sales decreased 4 percent in USD to $10.1 billion, with gross margin increasing 88 basis points year–over–year to 7.10 percent. This compares to sales of $10.6 billion with gross margin of 6.22 percent in the 2015 second quarter. The translation of foreign currencies versus last year had a negative impact of 2 percentage points on worldwide sales. Additionally, 2016 second quarter worldwide sales were negatively impacted versus last year by nearly $200 million, or 2 percent, related to the company negotiating a favorable change in contract terms with some customers in Europe, as highlighted earlier this year, which leads to recognizing these sales on a net basis versus a gross basis as the company did in the second quarter of last year. Last year's second quarter sales also benefited from approximately $125 million, or 1 percent, in North American mobility distribution business that the company elected to exit this year due to profitability levels that did not meet the company's objectives. Recent acquisitions contributed approximately 2 percentage points of growth to 2016 second quarter worldwide sales. Significantly higher gross margin was the result of a focus on driving a better mix of higher value sales, including more services contribution, as well as recent acquisitions.

2016 second quarter non–GAAP operating income was $157 million, or 1.55 percent of revenue, a 12 basis point increase when compared to 2015 second quarter non–GAAP operating income of $151 million, or 1.43 percent of revenue. 2016 second quarter non–GAAP earnings per diluted share were up 11 percent to 61 cents, when compared to non–GAAP earnings per diluted share of 55 cents in the year–earlier period. Compared to the same period in 2015, the translation of foreign currencies negatively impacted 2016 second quarter non–GAAP earnings by 1 cent per diluted share. 2016 second quarter non–GAAP operating income and diluted earnings per share were also up significantly on a sequential basis when compared to the 2016 first quarter. A better mix of high value business and solid operating leverage across most regions more than offset continued strategic investment, particularly in cloud and commerce and fulfillment solutions in international markets.

2016 second quarter GAAP operating income was $97 million, or 0.96 percent of revenue, compared to 2015 second quarter GAAP operating income of $2 million, or 0.02 percent of revenue. 2016 second quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share were 36 cents, compared to a GAAP loss per diluted share of 22 cents in the year–earlier period. 2015 second quarter GAAP operating income and earnings per share was negatively impacted by the company's decision to stop its global ERP deployment, which resulted in recording a non–cash, pre–tax charge of $116 million related to the impairment of internally developed software.

Return on invested capital for the trailing 12 month period was 11.1 percent on a non–GAAP basis, more than 300 basis points above the company weighted average cost of capital, and up significantly compared to 10.2 percent in the same quarter last year. 2016 second quarter return on invested capital on a GAAP basis was 7.6 percent compared to 6.1 percent in the 2015 second quarter.

Conference Call and Webcast
As noted in the press release issued on February 17, 2016, due to the company's pending acquisition by Tianjin Tianhai whereby the company will join HNA Group, the company will not be holding a conference call to discuss its 2016 second quarter financial results nor will it be providing a financial outlook.

Non–GAAP Disclosures

In addition to GAAP results, Ingram Micro is reporting non–GAAP operating income, non–GAAP operating margin, non–GAAP net income, non–GAAP earnings per diluted share and non–GAAP return on invested capital. These non–GAAP measures exclude charges associated with reorganization, acquisitions, integration and transition costs, including those associated with the company's previously announced cost savings programs, and the amortization of intangible assets. These non–GAAP financial measures also exclude a benefit in the fourth quarter of 2014 related to the receipt of an LCD flat panel class action settlement, a charge in the 2015 second and fourth quarters related to an impairment of internally developed software resulting from the company's decision to stop its global ERP deployment, a charge in the 2015 third quarter for an estimated settlement of employee related taxes assessed in Europe, a loss on the sale of affiliate and a gain related to a legal settlement in the 2016 second quarter. Non–GAAP net income and non–GAAP earnings per diluted share also exclude the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses related to the translation effect on Euro–based inventory purchases in Ingram Micro's pan–European entity. Non–GAAP earnings per diluted share for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2015 also reflects the impact of the 3.2 million common stock equivalents that are excluded from GAAP diluted weighted average shares because they are antidilutive with respect to the GAAP net loss.

The non–GAAP measures noted above are primary indicators that Ingram Micro's management uses internally to conduct and measure its business and evaluate the performance of its consolidated operations and operating segments. Ingram Micro's management believes these non–GAAP financial measures are useful because they provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and an alternate view of the impact of acquired businesses. These non–GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non–GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Ingram Micro's business. A material limitation associated with these non–GAAP measures as compared to the GAAP measures is that they may not be comparable to other companies with similarly titled items that present related measures differently. The non–GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non–GAAP financial measures for the periods presented is attached to this press release.
