CFO Commentary

“Despite headwinds including the outbreak of COVID-19, we generated cash flow from operations totaling $98 million in the third quarter and delivered quarterly sales of $4.3 billion,” said Avnet CFO Tom Liguori. “These results showed the strength of our counter-cyclical balance sheet and our ability to adapt quickly to current conditions. We reprioritized our capital allocation plan to conserve cash and manage our debt, including $92 million in debt reduction with net debt of $1.19 billion at the end of the quarter. We are resolutely focused on managing our working capital and generating cash during this period.”

·

·

·

·

COVID-19: Business Updates

During the third quarter, Avnet accelerated customers’ abilities to provide life-saving medical solutions by utilizing the Company’s end-to-end ecosystem in the fight against COVID-19. Employees in our Electronic Components business, Avnet Integrated, and Farnell all worked closely with our customers and partners to source, assemble, integrate and service medical devices and peripherals that enabled them to focus resources where they were needed most.

In addition, in the fourth quarter Avnet continues to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak in the following ways:

·

Avnet and Hackster.io are joining forces with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and twelve leading technology companies to launch the COVID-19 Detect and Protect Challenge. The goal is to design low-cost and easily deployable technology that helps detect and prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in developing countries.

·

Enabling a major vacuum company to start producing ventilators by delivering prototyping and testing materials for the printed circuit boards designed into its new ventilator.

·

Joining with one of the biggest EMS in Italy and other companies that are producing the first 1,000 pieces of a new open-source pulmonary mechanical ventilator leveraging Raspberry Pi and Multicomp products.

·

Enabling a leading manufacturer to help meet the UK’s National Health Service’s 10x increase in demand for paraPAC ventilators by assisting with components needed for the prototype.

·

Directly supporting COVID-19 relief efforts by donating everything from personal protective equipment for medical professionals to 3D printers, to local, direct contributions in hard-hit communities.

 

 

 

Update on Guidance

Avnet is continuing to serve the needs of its suppliers, customers, and business partners and remains confident in its liquidity position. However, the Company is unable to predict the extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic may impact its business operations, financial performance, and the results of operations for the next quarter. Therefore, Avnet will not be issuing guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 ending on June 27, 2020.

Today’s Conference Call and Webcast Details

Avnet will host a quarterly webcast and teleconference today at 1:30 p.m. AZ / PDT and 4:30 p.m. EDT to discuss its financial results and provide a corporate update. The webcast can be accessed via Avnet’s Investor Relations web page at: www.ir.avnet.com, or from the following link Avnet Earnings Call Webcast and Slides.  

Due to increased call volumes globally, the wait times when dialing in by phone may be longer than usual. Therefore, Avnet suggests using the webcast link above instead of the conference call line to avoid any delays. Those who would still like to participate in the live call can dial 877-407-8112 or 201-689-8840. A replay of the conference call will be available for 30 days, through May 27 at 5:00 p.m. EDT, and can be accessed by dialing: 877-660-6853 or 201-612-7415 and using Conference ID: 13700077.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information including (i) adjusted operating income, (ii) adjusted operating expenses, (iii) adjusted other income (expense), (iv) adjusted income tax expense, (v) adjusted income from continuing operations, (vi) adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, and (vii) sales adjusted for the impact of significant acquisitions and other items (as defined in the Organic Sales section of this document).

 

There are also references to the impact of foreign currency in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and the stronger exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results. Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar weakens and the weaker exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results. In the discussion of the Company’s results of operations, results excluding this impact are referred to as “constant currency.” Management believes organic sales and sales in constant currency are useful measures for evaluating current period performance as compared with prior periods and for understanding underlying trends. In order to determine the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on sales, income or expense items for subsidiaries reporting in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, the Company adjusts the average exchange rates used in current periods to be consistent with the average exchange rates in effect during the comparative period.

 

Management believes that operating income and operating expenses adjusted for restructuring, integration and other expenses, goodwill and intangible asset impairment expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets and other, are useful measures to help investors better assess and understand the Company’s operating performance. This is especially the case when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of Avnet’s normal operating results or non-cash in nature. Management analyzes operating income and operating expenses without the impact of these items as an indicator of ongoing margin performance and underlying trends in the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in most cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. Management measures operating income for its reportable segments excluding restructuring, integration and other expenses, goodwill and intangible asset impairment expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets and other. 

 

Additional non-GAAP metrics management uses is adjusted operating income margin, which is defined as adjusted operating income (as defined above) divided by sales.

 

Management also believes income tax expense, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted for the impact of the items described above and certain items impacting other income (expense) and income tax expense are useful to investors because they provide a measure of the Company’s net profitability on a more comparable basis to historical periods and provide a more meaningful basis for forecasting future performance. Adjustments to income tax expense and the effective income tax rate include the effect of changes in tax laws including recent tax

 

 

 

law changes in the U.S., changes in valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits, income tax audit settlements and adjustments to the adjusted interim effective tax rate based upon the expected annual adjusted effective tax rate.  Additionally, because of management’s focus on generating shareholder value, of which net profitability is a primary driver, management believes income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding the impact of these items provides an important measure of the Company’s net profitability for the investing public.

 

Any analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. All amounts below relate to Avnet’s continuing operations.

Organic Sales

 

Organic sales is defined as sales adjusted for the impact of significant acquisitions, divestitures and other items by adjusting Avnet’s prior and current (if necessary) periods to include the sales of acquired businesses and exclude the sales of divested businesses as if the acquisitions and divestitures had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Organic sales in constant currency is defined as organic sales (as defined above) excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

The following table presents reported and organic sales growth rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019.
