Tools

Posted October 28, 2010

  • Q3 Revenue of $169 Million, up 6% Y/Y, up 5% Q/Q
  • Q3 Earnings Before Tax of $2.3M; Non-GAAP Earnings Before Tax of $4.1M
  • Q3 Positive Cash Flow From Operations of $5.7M

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intermec, Inc. (NYSE:IN) today announced financial results for its third quarter, which ended September 26, 2010.

Third quarter 2010 revenues were $169 million and earnings before tax were $2.3 million. The Company recorded a $9.2 million primarily non-cash tax expense in the quarter to align its year-to-date provision with updated fiscal-year 2010 revenue and income estimates, as further described below. This resulted in a third quarter net loss of ($6.9) million, or ($0.11) per diluted share, compared to 2009 third quarter revenues of $159 million and a net income of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share.

“Third quarter revenue and operating margins met our expectations due to continued strength in international markets and gradual recovery in the North America region. Our new products and service offerings and channel programs continue to make progress and position the company for long-term growth,” said Patrick J. Byrne, Intermec President and CEO.

The following table presents our GAAP earnings before taxes, net loss, and diluted loss per share as reported for the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, and as adjusted by excluding restructuring charges.

Quarter Ended September 26, 2010   Quarter Ended September 27, 2009
($ in millions, except per share amounts) Earnings from operations before taxes   Net (loss) earnings   Diluted (loss) earnings per share Earnings from operations before taxes   Net earnings   Diluted earnings per share
 
Earnings (loss) as reported $ 2.3 $ (6.9 ) $ (0.11 ) $ 0.1 $ 0.1 $ 0.00
Restructuring charges $ 1.8 $ 1.2   $ 0.02   $ 2.7 $ 1.7 $ 0.03
 
Earnings (loss) as adjusted $ 4.1 $ (5.7 ) $ (0.09 ) $ 2.8 $ 1.8 $ 0.03

Excluding the restructuring charges, the non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2010 was ($5.7) million, or ($0.09) per diluted share, as described in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net earnings financial measures section of this release.

Tax Expenses

The $9.2 million tax expense in the quarter is primarily non-cash. There are three main factors that drove the third quarter tax provision:

  • The Company reversed tax benefits recorded in Q1 and Q2, which were based on then-current estimates of fiscal-year 2010 revenue and earnings. Combined with tax on earnings in the third quarter, this year-to-date true-up is a non-cash tax expense of approximately $6.2 million.
  • The Company recorded a non-cash tax expense of approximately $2 million related to the establishment of an offshore headquarters for our supply chain operations and foreign sales activities.
  • The Company’s foreign sales office profits are taxed separately in those countries, resulting in cash tax expense of approximately $1 million for the quarter.

The Company expects that as profitability increases, additional pre-tax income will lower its total tax rate to normal levels.

Product and Service Introductions

  • Intermec introduced the CS40 mobile computer, an innovative new product that has a small lightweight form factor. It combines compact ruggedness with advanced data capture capabilities and a robust software environment required for line-of-business applications. The CS40 is targeted at the merchandising, field service and transportation markets. It is fully compatible with Intermec’s printers, peripherals, SkynaxTM software, Smart Systems™ foundation, and IN Control™ managed services, enabling ease of configuration and effective deployment and support.
  • Intermec acquired SkynaxTM, which provides software for secure mobile communications and data management. SkynaxTM software reduces the deployment time and life-cycle management costs of mobile computing systems.
  • Intermec launched INcontrolTM services, the Company’s new managed services offerings. Utilizing a hosted web-based platform, INcontrolTM enables customers to outsource the day-to-day task of managing mobile devices to Intermec or its partners.
  • In a joint development, Intermec and Seattle-based RAF technologies, a leader in intelligent information extraction and data verification solutions, have introduced VERDEXTM software. VERDEXTM targets the Courier Express Parcel market and provides mobile address verification and correction capability exclusively on Intermec mobile computers.

Other Business Activities

  • The local government in Brazil's Rio Norte region will begin implementing its electronic vehicle registration system based on RFID sticker tags supplied by Intermec. Intermec received the initial order comprised of fixed RFID readers, handheld RFID readers, CN3 rugged mobile computers’ and RFID tags.
  • The Company added new North America distribution partners, Ingram Micro and Bluestar, to increase Intermec’s market reach and presence.
  • Intermec’s Asia Pacific (APAC) Partner Summit was held in Taiwan during September. The Summit launched the Company’s APAC PartnerNet Program, which was deployed in the Americas and EMEA earlier in the year.

Third Quarter 2010 Operating Performance

  • Total revenue of $169 million increased 6% from the prior-year quarter, and was up 9% when adjusted for currency translation.
  • Geographically, compared to the prior-year quarter, revenues in North America declined 6%; excluding U.S. government sales, the region increased approximately 4%. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) revenues increased 11%, up 21% in constant currency. The rest of world improved by 41%, led by Latin America’s increase of 62% and APAC growth of 13%.
  • Systems and Solutions revenue grew 6%, Printer and Media revenue increased 10% and Service revenue was up 4%, all as compared to the prior-year quarter.
  • Gross profit margins of 38.8% increased 0.2 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter. Product gross margins of 37.9% increased 0.9 percentage points while service gross margins of 42.2% decreased 2.5 percentage points over the third quarter 2009.
  • Total operating expenses for the quarter were $63.1 million, compared to $61.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges of $1.8 million in Q3’10 and $2.7 million in Q3’09, totaled $61.3 million and $58.5 million, respectively. Third quarter 2010 expenses also reflect an offsetting gain from the sale of intellectual property of $2.9 million.
  • In the quarter, Intermec repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $20 million or $10.89 per share. Outstanding shares began the quarter at 61.8 million and ended at 60.0 million. Due to the timing of the repurchases, the average share count for Q3’10 was 61.4 million. There is $55 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.
  • The Company generated positive cash flow from operations during the quarter of $5.7 million; year-to-date cash flow from operations was $5.0 million. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments ended the quarter at approximately $211 million. The Company has no debt.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures for earnings (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, net earnings (loss), and earnings (loss) per diluted share. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are detailed in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Earnings attached to this press release.

Our non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to and not as an alternative or substitute for the measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We believe that excluding our restructuring charges (principally related to severance costs in connection with distinct organizational initiatives to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency) provides supplemental information useful to investors’ and management’s understanding of the Company’s core operating results, especially when comparing those results on a consistent basis to results for previous periods and anticipated results for future periods.
