Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA), a global electronic
components company, today reported results for its third quarter
ended March 31, 2012.
Three Months Ended
Mar. 31, Dec. 31, Mar. 31,
USD millions, except per share data 2012 2011 2011
Net revenue $ 837.1 $ 857.6 $ 874.5
Net income 64.9 64.0 68.1
Earnings per share 0.36 0.36 0.39
Revenue for the March 2012 quarter was $837.1 million, down 2.4%
from the December 2011 quarter and 4.3% from the March 2011
quarter. Revenue in local currencies declined 2.0% from the
December 2011 quarter and 4.8% from the March 2011 quarter. Net
income for the March 2012 quarter was $64.9 million or $0.36 per
share, compared with net income of $64.0 million or $0.36 per share
for the December 2011 quarter and net income of $68.1 million or
$0.39 per share for the March 2011 quarter. Net income for the
March 2012 quarter includes a net tax benefit of $3.0 million
($0.02 per share) resulting from the release of net operating loss
valuation allowances no longer required, partially offset by
adjustments to deferred tax assets due to changes in applicable tax
rates in certain jurisdictions.
"Business conditions stabilized during the March quarter, with
order rates improving each month and the book-to-bill ratio
increasing to 1.04. Costs remain under control and are being
rigorously monitored," commented Martin P. Slark, Molex's Chief
Executive Officer. "The long term themes driving the business -
mobility, IT spending and growth in emerging markets - continue to
develop, affording Molex significant opportunities for long-term
growth. In addition, cash flow has been very strong, exceeding net
income for each of the last three quarters. Accordingly, our Board
of Directors has approved an increase to the quarterly dividend by
10% to $0.22 per share."
Other financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31,
2012
-- Gross profit margin was 30.5%, compared with 29.8% in the March 2011
quarter and 30.7% in the December 2011 quarter.
-- SG&A expense was $163.9 million, compared with $159.4 million in the
March 2011 quarter and $163.1 million in the December 2011
quarter.
-- Capital expenditures were $54.4 million or 6.5% of revenue.
-- Depreciation and amortization was $58.5 million or 7.0% of revenue.
-- Backlog was $376.9 million, an increase of $30.6 million or 8.8% from
the December 2011 quarter.

-- Inventory days outstanding were 93 days compared with 87 days in the
March 2011 quarter and 91 days in the December 2011 quarter.

days in the March 2011 quarter and 71 days in the December
2011
quarter.
-- Cash flow from operations was $138.9 million.
-- The effective tax rate was 27.2%. Excluding the one-time benefit from
releasing valuation allowances no longer required, partially
offset by
the impact of an adjustment to deferred tax assets, the
effective tax
rate was 30.6%.
Increase in Cash Dividend
The Board of Directors has approved an increase in the quarterly
cash dividend to $0.22 per share, an increase of 10% from the
previous cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The increase is
effective for the cash dividend payable on July 25, 2012 to
shareholders of record on June 29, 2012, for each share of Common
Stock (MOLX), Class A Common Stock (MOLXA) and Class B Common
Stock, and will continue quarterly until further action by the
Board.
Outlook
Based upon current order rates, backlog and normal seasonality,
the Company estimates revenue in a range of $870 to $900 million
for the June 2012 quarter. At this level of revenue, the Company
expects earnings per share in a range of $0.36 to $0.40 assuming
constant foreign currency rates and commodity prices and an
effective tax rate of 31%.
