  • Net income of $15 million, or $0.18 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income, excluding special items, of $61 million, or $0.67 per diluted share
  • Operating income of $74 million and adjusted operating income, excluding special items, of $125 million or 15.9% of sales

CommScope, Inc. (NYSE: CTV), a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, reported sales of $783.7 million and net income of $15.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

The reported net income includes after-tax charges of approximately $15.3 million for the amortization of purchased intangibles, $14.7 million for charges related to debt conversions and prepayments, $10.3 million in litigation charges and $5.6 million in restructuring costs. Excluding these special items, adjusted second quarter 2009 earnings were $61.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share. (A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted results for the quarter is attached).

For the second quarter of 2008, CommScope reported sales of $1.09 billion and net income of $40.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. The reported net income included after-tax charges of approximately $23.1 million for restructuring and acquisition related costs, $17.8 million for the amortization of purchased intangibles, $2.9 million for purchase accounting adjustments related to inventory, and a benefit of $3.9 million related to the settlement of tax audits. Excluding these items, adjusted second quarter 2008 earnings were $80.1 million, or $1.00 per diluted share.

“Despite challenging global market conditions, CommScope delivered solid results in the second quarter,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frank Drendel. “We strengthened our balance sheet, achieved an adjusted operating margin of 15.9 percent and delivered record quarterly cash flow from operations. We believe that our efforts to aggressively take costs out of the business and manage working capital will help us navigate this difficult recession.

“We are equally focused on long-term opportunities, and continue to invest strategically in research and development. Wireless subscriber growth in India and 3G deployments in China remain key near-term opportunities while the transition toward fourth generation wireless technology presents exciting opportunities over the longer term. We remain optimistic about our market position and believe we are well positioned to benefit from growth opportunities as the economy recovers.”

Sales Overview

Sales declined 27.9 percent year over year due to the ongoing effects of the global recession. Sales in all segments declined year over year. The year-over-year sales comparison was also affected by the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $22 million.

However, sales rose 5.6 percent sequentially due to improved Enterprise and Wireless Network Solutions (WNS) segment sales and the positive sequential impact of foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $8 million.

Antenna, Cable and Cabinet Group (ACCG) segment sales declined 1.1 percent sequentially to $322.2 million as much stronger North American wireline cabinet sales were offset by lower global sales of cable and microwave products.

Enterprise segment sales rose 14.1 percent sequentially to $164.3 million in the seasonally stronger second quarter. The company has begun to see stabilization in corporate information technology spending and believes distribution channel inventory is currently at historically low levels.

Broadband segment sales rose 3.5 percent sequentially to $118.2 million, due primarily to normal North American seasonal trends.

WNS segment sales rose 13.0 percent sequentially to $179.7 million. WNS sales rose sequentially in all product areas and benefitted from the network consolidation initiatives of a large U.S. based wireless operator.

In the second quarter, U.S. sales rose 16.6 percent sequentially to $419.3 million or 53.5 percent of total company sales. North American sales rose sequentially in all major segments due primarily to normal seasonality. Sales declined sequentially in all other major geographic regions.

Customer orders booked in the second quarter 2009 were $742 million.

Operating Income Overview

Operating income in the second quarter of 2009 was $74.1 million compared to $97.6 million for the comparable 2008 period. The year-over-year decline in operating income resulted primarily from lower sales volumes as a result of the global economic recession. On a sequential basis, operating income rose substantially due primarily to higher manufacturing volumes, lower material costs and ongoing cost reduction. Adjusted operating income, excluding amortization of purchased intangibles and other special items, nearly tripled sequentially to $124.8 million, or 15.9 percent of sales. All segments' adjusted operating margins returned to double-digit levels in the second quarter of 2009.

CommScope management believes that presenting operating income information excluding the special items noted above provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and may enhance investors' ability to analyze financial and business trends, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures. In addition, CommScope management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period.

Capital Markets Transactions and Credit Facilities Amendment

During the second quarter 2009, CommScope completed several capital markets transactions and amended its senior secured credit facilities. CommScope’s primary goals for these actions were to lower debt, enhance financial flexibility and reduce uncertainty regarding the company’s ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants in its credit facilities.

On May 28, 2009, CommScope completed the public offering of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2015. The notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of CommScope common stock at an initial conversion rate of 36.3636 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment), equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $27.50 per share of common stock. Concurrent with the convertible notes offering, CommScope also issued approximately 10.5 million shares of its common stock in a public offering at a price of $22.00 per share.

CommScope received proceeds from the public offerings of approximately $500 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The company used $400 million of these proceeds to repay a portion of the term loans outstanding under its senior secured credit facilities in conjunction with an amendment to the credit facilities. The credit facility amendment postpones by a year the increase in the minimum interest coverage ratio and the decrease in the maximum leverage ratio among other changes. These changes to the covenant levels will now take effect beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2010, instead of the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The subsequent change to each ratio is also postponed by a year.

On June 3, 2009, the company announced the conversion of all $100 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2024 into CommScope common stock. In connection with the conversions, holders received an interest make-whole payment in shares of CommScope common stock. As a result of the conversions, CommScope issued approximately 10.3 million shares of CommScope common stock. The company recorded a non-cash charge of $11.3 million in the second quarter for the interest make-whole payment related to the conversion.

Second Quarter 2009 Financial Highlights

  • During the second quarter, CommScope reduced total debt outstanding by $287.1 million.
  • The company recorded a non-cash litigation charge of $18.1 million in the second quarter related to the TruePosition litigation. On April 30, 2009, the trial court issued a final ruling and awarded damages to TruePosition for the final phase of the customer project that were not previously addressed. CommScope disagrees with the trial court’s decision and has filed a notice of appeal.
  • Gross margin for the second quarter 2009 was 29.2 percent and includes $3.6 million of intangible amortization and an $18.1 million litigation charge in Cost of Sales. Excluding these items, adjusted gross margin would have been 32.0 percent.
  • SG&A expense for the second quarter 2009 was $99.0 million, down $37.6 million, or 27.6 percent, year over year due primarily to lower sales volumes, ongoing cost reduction programs, suspension of incentive-based cash bonus programs in 2009 and recoveries of bad debt expense.
  • Interest expense was $43.2 million in the second quarter and included a non-cash charge of $11.3 million related to the interest make-whole payment. Also included in second quarter interest expense is $5.4 million related to the write off of deferred financing fees in connection with accelerated debt payments made in the second quarter. Excluding these items, interest expense in the quarter was $26.5 million.
  • The company’s effective income tax rate for the quarter was 51.0% and reflects non-deductible charges related to the conversion of convertible debentures.
  • Total depreciation and amortization expense was $54.6 million for the second quarter 2009. Intangible amortization in the second quarter totaled $24.5 million.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter more than tripled year over year to a record $138.5 million.

Commercial Highlights

  • Andrew Solutions™ recently introduced GeoLENsTM (GeoLocation-Enabled Network solutions), its next generation of solutions for enabling location-capable networks. GeoLENsTM offers cost efficiencies, capacity and algorithm enhancements, and greater technology integration in helping carriers address commercial and regulatory applications (such as information, security and emergency 911 and 112) in an era of rapidly evolving networks, devices and customer usage requirements.
  • With China investing billions of dollars in 3G networks, Andrew Solutions has completed an expansion of its Suzhou, China manufacturing and distribution center to better support its local customers. In operation since 1998, the plant’s expansion increases production space for base station antennas manufacturing substantially. The highly skilled Suzhou workforce manufactures base station antenna for deployment in Chinese networks and for export to the rest of Asia and beyond, with all major frequency bands and technologies represented, such as TD-SCDMA, WiMAX, W-CDMA, CDMA, LTE and GSM. Andrew Solutions also manufactures HELIAX® coaxial RF cable, RADIAX® radiating cable, and cable components and accessories in its Suzhou facility. Andrew Solutions was the only non-indigenous cable and antenna supplier approved by China Telecom for the first phase of its 3G CDMA wireless network and one of the few non-indigenous vendors approved for the new China Unicom 3G WCDMA network.
  • The US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Telecommunications Program has accepted CommScope’s BrightPath® fiber-to-the-home solution, enabling service providers seeking funding from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to propose the use of BrightPath products in business plans and applications they submit for RUS grants and loans. The simple, effective BrightPath fiber-to-the-home system works seamlessly with existing hybrid fiber coax networks, employing a unique, tapped architecture that provides fiber connection from the head end/central office to the subscriber’s premises. BrightPath provides all the benefits of a fiber-to-the-home network without requiring changes to back-office, head end/central office or customer premises equipment. The RUS also accepted CommScope’s flat drop fiber cable designs, which support fiber-to-the-home solutions, including the company’s BrightPath solution.
  • CommScope provided network infrastructure and cellular coverage and capacity solutions for the Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium. The state-of-the-art venue used CommScope’s SYSTIMAX® high-performance network solutions to create the world’s largest internet protocol television (IPTV) installation and operate the stadium’s data center and other technical operations. The stadium features an extensive in-building wireless communications network from Andrew Solutions that provides complete cellular coverage in the stadium and its surrounding property for all spectators and team officials, coaching staff, employees and public safety agents.

Outlook

CommScope management provided the following guidance for the third quarter of 2009:

  • Revenue of $750 million to $800 million
  • Adjusted operating income of $105 million to $125 million, excluding amortization of purchased intangibles and other special items
  • Interest expense of approximately $26 million
  • Tax rate of 38 percent to 40 percent on adjusted pretax income
  • Approximately 106 million fully diluted shares outstanding

“We are pleased with the substantial improvement in second quarter financial results in the midst of challenging global economic conditions,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Jearld Leonhardt. “While we believe that the business environment is stabilizing, we still see a great deal of economic uncertainty. As a result, we expect third quarter revenues and adjusted operating income to remain generally stable with second quarter levels.”

CommScope management believes that presenting operating income information excluding the special items noted above provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and may enhance investors' ability to analyze financial and business trends, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures. In addition, CommScope management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period.
