Anixter International Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2018 Diluted EPS of $1.22 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.53, up 9%

Anixter International Inc. (NYSE: AXE) today announced its results for the fourth quarter of 2018.

"Sales growth was above the mid-point of our outlook range, driven by the UPS segment, complex and global accounts customers, and our security business. In addition to strong sales growth, we were pleased to deliver meaningful improvement in gross margin, driven by actions we have implemented across the business," commented Bill Galvin, President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter we accelerated investment in innovation and business transformation, with a focus on customer-facing technologies that will enhance our digital capabilities and enterprise efficiencies. We are streamlining and standardizing our global business processes, making it easier and more efficient for our customers to engage with us anywhere in the world. In addition to the gross margin actions already taken, we expect our business transformation to deliver significant long term operating expense savings."

The following results are for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2018, compared to the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2017. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are versus the prior year quarter. Both the current and prior year quarters had 62 billing days.

  • Sales increased 5.2% to $2.1 billion. Current quarter sales include the favorable impact of the security acquisitions completed in the second quarter of 2018 and the unfavorable impacts of lower average copper prices and generally weaker foreign currencies. Adjusting for these impacts, organic sales increased 5.1%, as detailed in the table on page 9 of this release.
  • Gross profit increased 7.9% to $430.0 million. Gross margin of 20.3% increased by 80 basis points sequentially and 50 basis points year-over-year.
  • Operating expense of $342.7 million compares to $317.8 million. Operating expense ratio of 16.2% compares to 15.8%.
  • Operating income increased 8.3% to $87.3 million. Operating margin of 4.1% compares to 4.0%.
  • Interest expense of $19.8 million compares to $19.0 million.
  • Other, net expense of $7.6 million compares to $0.1 million. The change was driven by $4.6 million of expenses due to the loss on extinguishment of the $350 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019.
  • The effective tax rate of 30.2% compares to 99.4%. The lower effective tax rate in the current quarter is due primarily to higher tax expense recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
  • Net income of $41.8 million compares to $0.4 million. The largest driver of the increase was driven by the 2017 tax expense noted above.
  • Earnings per diluted share of $1.22 compares to $0.01.
  • Full year 2018 cash flow from operations of $137.7 million compares to $183.8 million in 2017. The difference is due primarily to increased working capital investment to support growth in the business.
  • Full year 2018 capital expenditures of $42.4 million compares to $41.1 million in 2017. The increase is due to higher capital investment in facilities and innovation.
  • Working capital as a percentage of sales of 18.2% compares to 18.4%.

Non-GAAP Measures

Please refer to the tables on pages 9 - 14 for the reconciliations of our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to the non-GAAP measures. Unless otherwise noted, all non-GAAP financial metrics that follow exclude the expense items detailed on page 11 of this release.

  • Adjusted operating expense of $333.8 million compares to $301.6 million, up 10.7%. Adjusted operating expense ratio of 15.8% compares to 15.0%. The increase in adjusted operating expense is due to $7.4 million of incremental expense from the acquisitions and $7.2 million of investment in innovation and business transformation strategies, combined with higher volume and inflationary pressures, primarily from freight and medical costs.
  • Adjusted operating income of $96.2 million compares to $96.8 million. Adjusted operating margin of 4.5% compares to 4.8%.
  • Adjusted effective tax rate of 28.6% compares to 38.5%. The lower tax rate is driven by the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
  • Adjusted net income increased 9.5% to $52.4 million.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 8.5% to $1.53.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $108.5 million compares to $108.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.1% compares to 5.4%.

  • Debt-to-total capital ratio of 44.4%, compares to 46.1% at the end of 2017
  • Debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0 times compares to 3.1 times at the end of 2017
  • Weighted average cost of borrowed capital of 5.5%, compares to 5.6% in the prior year quarter
  • $598.5 million available under secured accounts receivable, inventory facilities and revolving lines of credit

Outlook

Ted Dosch, EVP and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "As we look ahead to 2019, we are optimistic that favorable sales trends will continue, based on our record backlog, strong pipeline trends, and ongoing discussions with our customers and suppliers. The demand environment remains solid, tempered by uncertainty caused by economic policies and geopolitical issues. Based on current conditions, we estimate 2019 organic sales growth in the 3 - 6% range, with first quarter 2019 organic sales growth in the 3% - 5% range. Based on our outlook for low-to-mid single digit sales growth and the related investment in working capital to support that growth, combined with our ongoing investment in innovation and business transformation, we estimate cash flow from operations of $150 - $175 million and capital investment of $55 - $60 million."

Galvin concluded, "As we turn to 2019, we are focused on the significant opportunity to leverage our unique set of products and innovative solutions across our global network. Through our customer access strategy, comprehensive and unique global services offerings, and initiatives in high growth markets, we are positioned for top line growth and market share gains. We are beginning to benefit from actions we are taking to improve gross margin, which will fund investment in innovation and still deliver operating margin expansion. Long term, we expect our investment in innovation to deliver significant benefits, with the ultimate goal of improving profitability, generating significant cash flow from operations and creating value for all of our stakeholders."

Safe Harbor Statement

The statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements made in reliance upon the safe harbor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what is indicated here. These factors include but are not limited to general economic conditions, the level of customer demand particularly for capital projects in the markets we serve, changes in supplier relationships or in supplier sales strategies or financial viability, risks associated with the sale of nonconforming products and services, political, economic or currency risks related to foreign operations, inventory obsolescence, copper price fluctuations, customer viability, risks associated with accounts receivable, the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, information security risks, risks associated with substantial debt and restrictions contained in financial and operating covenants in our debt agreements, the impact and the uncertainty concerning the timing and terms of the withdrawal by the United Kingdom from the European Union, unanticipated change in our tax provision and tax liabilities related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and risks associated with integration of acquired companies, including, but not limited to, the risk that the acquisitions may not provide us with the synergies or other benefits that were anticipated. These uncertainties may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in any forward looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward looking statements. Please see our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings for more information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) above, this release includes certain financial measures computed using non-GAAP components as defined by the SEC. Specifically, net sales comparisons to the prior corresponding period, both worldwide and in relevant segments, are discussed in this release both on an U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP basis. We believe that by providing non-GAAP organic growth, which adjusts for the impact of acquisitions (when applicable), foreign exchange fluctuations, copper prices and the number of billing days (when applicable), both management and investors are provided with meaningful supplemental sales information to understand and analyze our underlying trends and other aspects of our financial performance. Historically and from time to time, we may also exclude other items from reported financial results (e.g., impairment charges, inventory adjustments, restructuring charges, tax items, currency devaluations, pension settlements, etc.) in presenting adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income, adjusted income taxes and adjusted net income so that both management and financial statement users can use these non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate our performance period over period and to analyze the underlying trends of our business. We have also excluded amortization of intangible assets associated with purchase accounting from acquisitions from the adjusted amounts for comparison of the non-GAAP financial measures period over period.

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before foreign exchange and other non-operating expense and non-cash stock-based compensation, excluding the other items from reported financial results, as defined above. Adjusted EBITDA leverage is defined as the percentage change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the percentage change in net sales. We believe that adjusted operating income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA leverage provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing both consolidated and business segment performance. Adjusted operating income provides an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations. We use adjusted operating income to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because we believe this provides a more comparable measure of our continuing business excluding certain items that are not reflective of expected ongoing operations. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying performance of our business. EBITDA provides us with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the effects of foreign exchange and other non-cash stock-based compensation, and certain items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations and that are also excluded for purposes of calculating adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted operating income. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by our management for various purposes including as measures of performance of our operating segments and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA leverage may be useful to an investor because this measure is widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, among other factors. They are not, however, intended as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in which they are presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated above.
