Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter Ended January 31, 2014:
* Net Sales for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2014 were $8.0 billion, an increase of 7 percent from $7.4 billion in the prior-year quarter. Excluding the positive impact of the strengthening of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, consolidated net sales increased approximately 5 percent from the prior-year quarter.
- The Americas: Net sales were $2.7 billion (34 percent of worldwide net sales), an increase of 4 percent from the prior-year quarter.
- Europe: Net sales were $5.3 billion (66 percent of worldwide net sales), an increase of 9 percent (an increase of 5 percent in euros), from the prior-year quarter.
* Gross margin was 4.99 percent, compared to 4.98 percent in the prior-year quarter.
* Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $288.0 million, or 3.61 percent of net sales, compared to $284.2 million, or 3.82 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP SG&A was $280.7 million, or 3.52 percent of net sales, compared to $276.8 million, or 3.72 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to increased operating leverage resulting from higher sales in both regions.
* Worldwide operating income was $97.7 million, or 1.23 percent of net sales compared to $57.4 million or 0.77 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income was $117.3 million, or 1.47 percent of net sales, compared to $94.2 million, or 1.27 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter.
- The Americas: Operating income was $43.6 million, or 1.62 percent of net sales, compared to $37.8 million, or 1.46 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income was $36.3 million, or 1.35 percent of net sales, compared to $37.8 million, or 1.46 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter.
- Europe: Operating income was $56.0 million, or 1.06 percent of net sales, compared to $23.0 million, or 0.47 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income was $82.9 million, or 1.57 percent of net sales, compared to $59.9 million, or 1.23 percent of net sales in the prior-year quarter.
- Stock-based compensation expense was $1.9 million, compared to $3.5 million in the prior-year quarter. These expenses are presented as a separate line item in the company's segment reporting (see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation in the financial tables of this press release).
* Net income was $109.8 million, or $2.87 per diluted share, compared to $44.4 million, or $1.17 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income was $80.4 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, compared to $58.5 million or $1.53 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter.
* Net cash provided by operations during the fourth quarter was $113 million.
Financial Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2014:
* Net Sales for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, were $26.8 billion, an increase of 6 percent from the prior-year period. Excluding the net sales of SDG from both fiscal years, net sales decreased approximately 1 percent from the prior fiscal year. Excluding net sales of SDG and the positive impact of the strengthening of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, net sales decreased approximately 3 percent from the prior fiscal year.
- The Americas: Net sales were $10.2 billion (38 percent of worldwide net sales), an increase of 4 percent from the prior fiscal year. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to a partial recovery of market share beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 that was lost after the Company's implementation of the final modules of SAP within its U.S. operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
- Europe: Net sales were $16.6 billion (62 percent of worldwide net sales), an increase of 7 percent (an increase of 4 percent in euros) from the prior fiscal year. SDG contributed approximately $2.3 billion (approximately 1.7 billion euros) to fiscal 2014 net sales. Excluding SDG from both fiscal year periods, net sales in the "legacy" European operations decreased approximately 4 percent in U.S. dollars and approximately 7 percent in euros from the prior fiscal year. The decline is primarily attributable to weak economic conditions in certain countries, as well as a decline in market share in several of the Company's operations due to competitive pressures and a focus on gross margin percentage.
* Gross margin for the fiscal year was 5.08 percent compared to 5.14 percent in the prior-year period. The slight decline in gross margin is primarily attributable to product mix changes and a competitive environment, particularly in the Americas.
* SG&A for the fiscal year was $1,116.6 million, or 4.16 percent of net sales, compared to $1,009.9 million, or 3.98 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP SG&A was $1,087.4 million, or 4.05 percent of net sales, compared to $992.8 million, or 3.92 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the impact of the SDG acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, as well as a lack of operating leverage resulting from decreased sales in the Company's legacy European operations during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.
* Worldwide operating income for the fiscal year was $227.5 million, or 0.85 percent of net sales, compared to $263.7 million, or 1.04 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP operating income was $274.9 million, or 1.03 percent of net sales, compared to $310.3 million, or 1.22 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year.
- The Americas: Operating income was $156.1 million, or 1.53 percent of net sales, compared to $150.1 million, or 1.53 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP operating income was $134.0 million, or 1.32 percent of net sales, compared to $150.1 million, or 1.53 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year.
- Europe: Operating income was $80.2 million, or 0.48 percent of net sales, compared to $127.3 million, or 0.82 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP operating income was $149.8 million, or 0.90 percent of net sales, compared to $173.8 million, or 1.12 percent of net sales in the prior fiscal year.
- Stock-based compensation expense was $8.9 million, compared to $13.6 million in the prior fiscal year.
* Net income for the fiscal year was $179.9 million, or $4.71 per diluted share, compared to $176.3 million, or $4.50 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP net income was $173.0 million, or $4.52 per diluted share, compared to $197.5 million or $5.04 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year.
* Net cash provided by operations during fiscal 2014 was $379 million.
* Return on invested capital on a trailing twelve month basis was 10 percent.
"I am pleased to report a strong finish to the fiscal year," said Robert M. Dutkowsky, chief executive officer. "Solid execution in both regions, bolstered by selected market share gains in the U.S., along with new product additions and a more stable European IT demand environment contributed to a record quarter. Worldwide sales of nearly $8 billion - the highest quarterly sales in our company's history – drove excellent operating leverage and delivered record non-GAAP earnings. Our fourth quarter performance highlights the increased seasonality of our business, the resiliency of our operating model, and our team's ability to deliver strong results in a rapidly evolving IT environment. With many of the headwinds we faced in fiscal 2014 behind us, we are pleased with the momentum of our business as we enter fiscal year 2015."
Business Outlook
For the first quarter ending April 30, 2014, the Company expects year-over-year sales growth of mid-single-digits in the Americas and low-single-digits in Europe, in euros. The Company also expects the gross margin percentage to be in line with recent levels, a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 38 to 40 percent and the average U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate to be $1.37 to €1.00. For fiscal 2015, the Company expects a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 31 to 33 percent.
