Plantronics Announces Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

January 31, 2012

Company Achieves Record Operating Income and EPS, Meets Revenue and Exceeds Operating Income and EPS Guidance

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE:PLT) today announced net revenues of $183.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared with net revenues of $181.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Net revenues were within our guidance range of $175 million to $185 million provided on November 1, 2011. Plantronics' GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.71 compared with $0.64 in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, exceeding our previously provided guidance range of $0.53 to $0.63, primarily as a consequence of stronger margins and a lower effective tax rate. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $0.75 compared with $0.66 in the same quarter of the prior year, exceeding our previously provided guidance range of $0.60 to $0.70 also primarily a result of stronger margins and a lower effective tax rate. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 includes stock-based compensation charges net of the associated tax and a tax benefit from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations.

“Strong growth in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and our Asia Pacific regions combined with increased Unified Communications (“UC”) revenues led to healthy year over year growth in our core Office and Contact Center (“OCC”) product group,” stated Ken Kannappan, President & CEO. “We achieved record operating income in the December quarter and remain optimistic about the opportunities for growth through the adoption of UC.”

The trend of UC adoption and growth in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions contributed to an 8% increase in net revenues from OCC products in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. OCC net revenues were $133.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with $122.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Net revenues from UC products grew by 87% to $25.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared with $13.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Mobile net revenues were $36.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, a decrease of 17% from $43.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, primarily as a result of a decline in the U.S. market and a loss of U.S. market share partially offset by strong international growth.

GAAP operating income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $37.4 million, resulting in an operating margin of 20.4% as compared to $36.5 million and an operating margin of 20.1% in the same period in the prior year. Operating income exceeded our previously provided guidance of $31 million to $37 million. Non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $42.0 million, resulting in a non-GAAP operating margin of 22.9%, exceeding our previously provided guidance of $36 million to $41 million.

“We finished the quarter with $359.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short and long term investments after spending approximately $45 million on repurchases of our common stock. We generated nearly $31 million in cash flows from operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 and continue to have a strong financial position,” stated Barbara Scherer, SVP Finance and Administration & CFO.

Stock Repurchases

Plantronics’ shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were 43.6 million as compared to 45.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, a decline of approximately 2.1 million primarily as a result of the Company’s stock repurchases. As of today, there are approximately 700,000 shares remaining to be repurchased under the Company’s authorized stock repurchase programs.

Business Outlook

The following statements are based on our current expectations and many of these statements are forward-looking. Actual results are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from our expectations.

Plantronics has a “book and ship” business model whereby it ships most orders to customers within 48 hours of its receipt of those orders and, therefore, the level of backlog does not provide reliable visibility into potential future revenues. In addition, our incoming orders have historically been low during the last two weeks of December and the first half of January and then increase significantly into February and March.

Subject to the foregoing, we currently expect the following range of financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012:

  • Net revenues of $175 million to $180 million;
  • GAAP operating income of $32 million to $35 million;
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $36 million to $39 million, excluding the impact of $4 million from stock-based compensation from GAAP operating income;
  • Assuming approximately 43.2 million diluted average weighted shares outstanding:
    • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.56 to $0.61;
    • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.63 to $0.68; and
    • Diluted earnings per share cost of stock-based compensation to be approximately $0.07.

Plantronics does not intend to update these targets during the quarter or to report on its progress toward these targets. Plantronics will not comment on these targets to analysts or investors except by its press release announcing its fourth quarter fiscal year 2012 results or by other public disclosure. Any other statements speculating on the progress of the fourth quarter fiscal year 2012 will not be based on internal information and should be assessed accordingly by investors.

Dividend Announcement

Plantronics also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend will be payable on March 9, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2012.

Conference Call Scheduled to Discuss Financial Results

Plantronics has scheduled a conference call to discuss third quarter fiscal year 2012 results. The conference call will take place today, January 31, 2012 at 2:00 PM (Pacific Time). All interested investors and potential investors in Plantronics stock are invited to participate. To listen to the call, please dial in five to ten minutes prior to the scheduled starting time and refer to the "Plantronics Conference Call." Participants from North America should call (888) 301-8736 and other participants should call (706) 634-7260.

A replay of the call with the conference ID #39697114 will be available for 72 hours at (800) 642-1687 for callers from North America and at (706) 645-9291 for all other callers. The conference call will also be simultaneously webcast at www.plantronics.com under Investor Relations, and the webcast of the conference call will remain available on the Plantronics website for 30 days.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

For the periods presented, Plantronics has excluded certain non-cash expenses and charges, net of tax, including stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases, purchase accounting amortization and restructuring and other related charges, along with the tax benefits from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations from non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Plantronics excludes these expenses, charges and benefits from its non-GAAP measures primarily because Plantronics management does not believe they are part of Plantronics’ target operating model. Plantronics believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity and helps investors compare actual results to its long-term target operating model goals. Plantronics believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods; however non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, gross margin, operating income, operating margin, the effective tax rate, net income or earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements relating to (i) our outlook for the UC market; (ii) our estimates of GAAP and non-GAAP financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, including net revenues, operating income and diluted earnings per share; (iii) our estimated stock-based compensation and diluted earnings per share cost of stock-based compensation for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012; (iv) our estimate of the diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012; (v) trends and our predictions regarding ordering patterns for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, as well as other matters discussed in this press release that are not purely historical data. Plantronics does not assume any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new developments or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated are:

  • economic conditions in both the domestic and international markets;
  • our ability to realize our UC plans and to achieve the financial results projected to arise from UC adoption could be adversely affected by the following factors: (i) as UC becomes more widely adopted, the risk that competitors will offer solutions that will effectively commoditize our headsets which, in turn, will reduce the sales prices for our headsets; (ii) UC solutions may not be adopted with the breadth and speed in the marketplace that we currently anticipate; (iii) the development of UC solutions is technically complex and this may delay or obstruct our ability to introduce solutions to the market on a timely basis and that are cost effective, feature rich, stable and attractive to our customers; (iv) as UC becomes more widely adopted we anticipate that competition for market share will increase, and some competitors may have superior technical and economic resources; and, (v) our plans are dependent upon adoption of our UC solution by major platform providers such as Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Avaya, Inc., Alcatel-Lucent, and IBM, and we have a limited ability to influence such providers with respect to the functionality of their platforms, their rate of deployment, and their willingness to integrate their platforms with our solutions, and our support expenditures may substantially increase over time due to the complex nature of the platforms developed by the major UC providers as these platforms continue to evolve and become more commonly adopted;
  • failure to match production to demand given long lead times and the difficulty of forecasting unit volumes and acquiring the component parts and materials to meet demand without having excess inventory or incurring cancellation charges;
  • volatility in prices from our suppliers, including our manufacturers located in China, have and could negatively affect our profitability and/or market share;
  • fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
  • the bankruptcy or financial weakness of distributors or key customers, or the bankruptcy of or reduction in capacity of our key suppliers; and,
  • additional risk factors including: interruption in the supply of sole-sourced critical components, continuity of component supply at costs consistent with our plans, the inherent risks of our substantial foreign operations, and problems which might affect our manufacturing facilities in Mexico.

For more information concerning these and other possible risks, please refer to Plantronics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 2011, quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as recent press releases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Plantronics uses non-GAAP measures of operating results, which are adjusted to exclude non-recurring and non-cash expenses and charges, such as stock-based compensation expenses related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases, purchase accounting amortization, restructuring and other related charges, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and tax benefits from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Plantronics does not believe these expenses and charges are reflective of ongoing operating results and are not part of our target operating model. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Plantronics may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
