Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA), a global electronic components company, today reported results for its second quarter ended December 31, 2011.

 
                                       Three Months Ended

Revenue for the December 2011 quarter was $857.6 million, down 8.4% from the September 2011 quarter and 4.9% from the December 2010 quarter. The impact of the floods in Thailand reduced revenue in the December quarter by approximately $15 million. Revenue in local currencies declined 7.8% from the September 2011 quarter and 6.6% from the December 2010 quarter. Net income for the December 2011 quarter was $64.0 million or $0.36 per share, compared with net income of $80.5 million or $0.46 per share for the September 2011 quarter and net income of $78.3 million or $0.45 per share for the December 2010 quarter. In the December 2011 quarter, we recorded a one-time charge for additional income tax expense of $2.7 million ($0.02 per share). This charge reflects the cumulative effect of a reduction in future tax benefits from deferred tax assets in Japan resulting from a decrease in the Japanese statutory corporate tax rate enacted in November 2011.

 

"We continue to be optimistic about the future as our new product pipeline is quite strong and long-term growth opportunities remain healthy," commented Martin P. Slark, Molex's Chief Executive Officer. "The uncertain economic environment coupled with the disruption from the floods in Thailand, however, made the December quarter challenging from a booking and revenue perspective. We are pleased with our cost control, cash flow and resulting margins and are encouraged by improvements in recent booking trends. During the quarter we completed the purchase of Temp-Flex Cable, Inc., a specialty wire and cable company. Temp-Flex increases our presence in the medical market and will complement our high performance cable business."

 

Other financial highlights for the quarter ended December 31, 2011:

 
 
    -- Gross profit margin was 30.7%, compared with 30.1% in the December 

2010 quarter and 31.3% in the September 2011 quarter.

 
    -- SG&A expense was $163.1 million, compared with $159.0 million in the 

December 2010 quarter and $169.2 million in the September 2011 quarter.

 
    -- Capital expenditures were $52.3 million or 6.1% of revenue. 
 
    -- Depreciation and amortization was $59.9 million or 7.0% of revenue. 
 
    -- Backlog was $346.3 million, a decrease of $40.9 million or 10.6% from 

the September 2011 quarter.

 
    -- The book-to-bill ratio was 0.95 to 1. 
 
    -- Inventory days outstanding was 91 days compared with 87 days in the 

December 2010 quarter and 84 days in the September 2011 quarter.

 
    -- Accounts receivable days outstanding was 71 days compared with 73 days 

in the December 2010 quarter and 69 days in the September 2011 quarter.

 
    -- Cash flow from operations was $141.0 million. 
 
    -- The effective tax rate was 33.7%. Excluding the impact of the 

adjustment for deferred tax assets in Japan, the effective tax rate

was 30.9%.

 

Outlook

 

Based upon current order rates, backlog and normal seasonality, the Company estimates revenue in a range of $830 to $860 million for the March 2012 quarter. At this level of revenue, the Company expects earnings per share in a range of $0.32 to $0.36 assuming constant foreign currency rates and commodity prices and an effective tax rate of 32%.
