TYCO HOLDS ANALYST MEETING FOR ELECTRONICS SEGMENT
Company Reaffirms First Quarter and Fiscal 2004 EPS Guidance
PEMBROKE, Bermuda, December 10, 2003 -- Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC, BSX:
TYC, LSE: TYI) today will hold a meeting with financial analysts from 8:00 a.m.
to noon in New York City to discuss the performance and outlook for its Tyco
Electronics business segment.
Juergen Gromer, President of Tyco Electronics, will lead a comprehensive set of
presentations by the segment's senior executives. With FY 2003 revenues of
$10.4 billion, Tyco Electronics is the world's leading producer of passive
electronic components. Tyco believes this business segment is well-positioned
to achieve sustained growth and improved profitability over the long-term by
expanding its technology leadership, building market share in high-growth
markets, executing on significant Operational Excellence opportunities to
improve productivity, and leveraging an improving economy.
Tyco is also reaffirming its guidance for the first quarter and full fiscal
2004. For the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company expects to achieve
earnings per share of $0.30-$0.32, and in fiscal 2004 Tyco expects to achieve
earnings per share of $1.42 to $1.52. This outlook excludes any impact from
previously announced restructuring and divestiture programs.
EPS excluding charges is a non-GAAP measure and it should not be considered a
replacement for GAAP results. The Company has forecast its results excluding
restructuring and divestiture charges to give investors additional perspective
on the underlying business results. Because the Company cannot predict when the
divestitures will occur and the associated charges or gains will be taken, it is
difficult to accurately include the impact of those items in the forecast.
A web cast of the investor meeting, along with the supporting presentation
materials, is available on the Company's website at http://investors.tyco.com/
medialist.cfm. A replay of the web cast and the supporting presentation
materials will be available until January 10, 2004 at the same website.
