Ingram Micro Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2008 Results

Gross margins hit highest fourth-quarter level in 10 years

Balance sheet remains strong with record cash balance for a year-end

Cash flow from operations exceeds $550 million for the year

Goodwill impairment charge recorded

SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest technology distributor, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year of 2008, which ended Jan. 3, 2009.

Worldwide sales for the fourth quarter were $8.68 billion, 13 percent lower than the $10.01 billion in the prior-year period. The sales decline is attributable to the translation effect of relatively weaker foreign currencies, which had a six-percentage-point negative impact, as well as softer demand caused by the weak macroeconomic environment. Sales for the 2008 fiscal year were $34.36 billion, a two-percent decrease versus 2007, to which the translation impact of stronger foreign currencies had an approximate two-percent positive impact.

Fourth-quarter results include a non-cash charge of $742.6 million ($659.8 million after tax or $4.07 per diluted share), for the impairment of goodwill, which is explained in greater detail below. Including this charge, the company posted a net loss of $564.3 million or $3.48 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the goodwill impairment charge and related tax benefits, was $95.5 million or $0.59 per diluted share. Both GAAP and non-GAAP results include the following items aggregating to a net benefit of $0.02 per diluted share:

    --  A benefit recorded in cost of sales of $8.2 million, or $0.05 per
        diluted share, related to the release of a portion of the reserves for
        commercial taxes on software imports into Brazil.  The released reserves
        are tied to the 2003 calendar year, for which the statute of limitations
        for an assessment has expired.
    --  Costs of approximately $6.8 million or $0.03 per diluted share, related
        to expense-reduction programs primarily in North America and Europe.

In the prior-year fourth quarter, net income was $114.1 million or $0.64 per diluted share, which included the following benefits totaling $0.03 per diluted share: a $3.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share) release of a portion of the reserves related to the commercial taxes on software imports into Brazil related to the period from October through December 2002; and a gain of approximately $2.9 million (approximately $0.01 per diluted share) from the sale of the company's Asian semiconductor business.

"While the economy continued to challenge us in the fourth quarter, our focus on enhancing gross margin and reducing expenses helped us deliver solid operational results," said Gregory M. Spierkel, chief executive officer, Ingram Micro Inc. "Every region concentrated on driving profitability. The results were evident. Excluding goodwill impairment charges, our non-GAAP operating margin in Asia Pacific hit a record high, EMEA's improved more than 100 basis points sequentially and North America's 168 basis points approached fourth-quarter levels of recent years. I'm pleased with our ability to adapt to changing market conditions."

Additional Fourth-Quarter Highlights

For additional detail regarding the results outlined below, please refer to the financial statements and schedules attached to this news release or visit www.ingrammicro.com.

As indicated above, the company recorded a charge of $742.6 million ($659.8 million net of tax benefits) in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the impairment of goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"). Similar to the experience of many companies, Ingram Micro's market capitalization eroded in the fourth quarter when compared to previous periods and was significantly below book value, primarily due to the depressed macroeconomic environment and volatility in the equity markets. As a result of the company's impairment tests, a charge was recorded for all of its goodwill. The company's reporting units under SFAS 142 are its geographic segments and the goodwill impairment charges totaled $243.2 million, $24.1 million and $475.3 million in North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific, respectively. There is no recorded goodwill in Latin America. This non-cash charge does not impact the company's ongoing business operations, liquidity or covenants for its credit facilities.

Regional Sales

    --  North America sales were $3.80 billion (44 percent of total revenues), a
        decrease of one percent versus the $3.83 billion reported in the
        year-ago quarter.  Stable demand throughout most of the region's
        distribution business was offset by weakness in the consumer electronics
        space.
    --  Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) sales were $2.95 billion (34
        percent of total revenues), a decrease of 21 percent versus the $3.75
        billion in the year-ago quarter.  The translation impact of the
        relatively weaker European currencies had an approximate
        10-percentage-point negative effect on comparisons to the prior year. 
        Efforts in the second half of 2008 to deliberately exit or turn away
        unprofitable business, coupled with weak demand for technology products,
        contributed to the year-over-year decline in sales.
    --  Asia-Pacific sales were $1.49 billion (17 percent of total revenues), a
        decrease of 23 percent versus the $1.94 billion reported in the year-ago
        quarter.  The translation impact of the relatively weaker regional
        currencies had an approximate 10-percentage-point negative effect on
        comparisons to the prior year.  The sales decline was attributable to
        softer demand across most of the region's economies, combined with
        proactive efforts to turn away or exit unprofitable business.
    --  Latin America sales were $455 million (5 percent of total revenues), a
        decrease of 5 percent versus the $481 million in the year-ago quarter.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 5.92 percent, an increase of 10 basis points versus the prior-year quarter. The partial releases of commercial tax reserves in Brazil, described above, had a positive fourth-quarter impact of nine basis points in 2008 and four basis points in 2007. The year-over-year gross margin improvement is driven primarily by growth in the company's fee-for-service logistics business, the exit or improvement of underperforming business relationships and ongoing changes in customer and product mix.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses including the goodwill impairment charge were $1.1 billion. Non-GAAP operating expenses excluding this charge were $368.8 million, or 4.25 percent of revenues, which includes $6.8 million (0.08 percent of revenues) in severance and other costs related to the company's expense-reduction programs. Operating expenses in the year-ago quarter were $406.7 million, or 4.06 percent of revenues. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to the additional labor to support growth in the fee-for-service logistics business, as well as lower sales levels compared to the prior year.

Operating Income

The company posted an operating loss of $597.1 million including the goodwill impairment charge described above. Non-GAAP operating income excluding this charge was $145.5 million or 1.68 percent of revenues which includes the expense-reduction costs and the release of Brazilian commercial tax reserves described above. The net benefit related to the partial release of Brazilian commercial tax reserves and the expense-reduction program costs, as described above, had a two-basis-point impact.

In the year-ago quarter, operating income was $176.0 million or 1.76 percent of revenues, which included a six-basis-point positive impact from the release of a portion of the company's Brazilian commercial tax reserves and the gain on the sale of the Asian semiconductor business, as described above.

    --  North America posted an operating loss of $179.5 million, including the
        $243.2 million goodwill impairment charge.  Non-GAAP operating income
        excluding this charge was $63.7 million or 1.68 percent of revenues,
        which includes $0.3 million (0.01 percent of revenues) in
        expense-reduction program costs.  In the prior year, operating income
        was $68.9 million or 1.80 percent of revenues.
    --  EMEA operating income was $4.3 million, including the $24.1 million
        goodwill impairment charge.  Non-GAAP operating income excluding this
        charge was $28.4 million or 0.96 percent of revenues, which includes
        $6.5 million (0.22 percent of revenues) in expense-reduction program
        costs.  In the year-ago quarter, operating income was $64.7 million or
        1.72 percent of revenues.  While market weakness continues to dampen the
        region's operating margin, the sequential increase of sales, in
        concert with efforts to reduce operating expenses, have resulted in a
        114-basis-point increase in non-GAAP operating margin over the third
        quarter of 2008.
    --  Asia-Pacific posted an operating loss of $444.1 million including the
        $475.3 million goodwill impairment charge.  Non-GAAP operating income
        excluding this charge was $31.2 million or 2.10 percent of revenues,
        compared to $35.9 million or 1.85 percent in the year-ago quarter.  The
        prior-year quarter included a gain of $2.9 million, or 15 basis points
        of revenues, on the sale of the semiconductor business in Asia.
    --  Latin America operating income was $21.5 million or 4.74 percent of
        revenues, which includes a benefit of $8.2 million or 181 basis points
        of revenues related to the previously described release of a portion of
        the company's commercial tax reserve in Brazil.  In the year-ago
        quarter, operating income was $16.1 million or 3.35 percent of revenues,
        which also included a partial release of the commercial tax reserve in
        Brazil of $3.6 million or 75 basis points of revenues.
    --  During the fourth quarter of 2008, accruals for long-term incentive
        compensation programs tied to performance-based restricted stock units
        were reduced, yielding a net benefit to operating income of $0.7 million
        (0.01 percent of consolidated revenues) for the quarter.  This compares
        to stock-based compensation expense of $9.6 million (0.10 percent of
        consolidated revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2007.  The impacts of
        the stock-based incentive programs are presented as separate reconciling
        amounts in the company's segment reporting in both periods and
        therefore are included in the worldwide, but not regional, operating
        results.

Other expenses for the quarter were $14.3 million versus $18.2 million in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower debt levels and declining interest rates.

The tax benefit was $47.2 million versus a tax provision of $43.7 million in the prior-year quarter. The change in provision reflects deferred tax benefits of $82.9 million associated with the $742.6 million charge for the impairment of goodwill (a substantial portion of which is not deductible for tax purposes), the lower level of earnings and the release of certain tax reserves upon the completion of an income tax audit. These factors are partially offset by adjustments to the valuation allowances placed against the company's deferred tax assets in certain European business units.

Total depreciation and amortization was $16.1 million.

Capital expenditures were approximately $37.0 million.

Balance Sheet

    --  The cash balance at year end was $763 million, an increase of $184
        million over the balance at the end of 2007.
    --  Total debt was $478 million, a decrease of $45 million from year-end
        2007.  Debt-to-capitalization was 15% versus 13% at the end of last
        year.  The increase over the previous year is due to lower book equity
        resulting primarily from the goodwill impairment charge.
    --  The company repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares during the
        fourth quarter of 2008, for an aggregate amount of $53 million.  Since
        the inception of the program in November 2007, the company has purchased
        15.3 million shares for an aggregate amount of $247.4 million.  In light
        of the current economic environment, the company has temporarily
        suspended its stock repurchase program but may resume purchases under
        the program when conditions improve.
    --  Inventory was $2.31 billion compared to $2.77 billion at the end of the
        prior year.  Days of inventory outstanding were 28, an increase of one
        day compared to year-end 2007.
    --  Working capital days were 22, flat when compared to year-end 2007.

"Earning the decade's highest gross margin level in this economic climate, in addition to reducing our selling, general and administrative expenses, demonstrates our efforts to tightly manage gross margin and control costs," said William D. Humes, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Ingram Micro Inc. "Our balance sheet remains a bright spot. We ended 2008 with cash exceeding debt, while cash flow from operations was more than $550 million for the year, a significant increase over the nearly $330 million generated in 2007, which provides a strong foundation for these uncertain economic times. Ingram Micro's financial strength is an attractive choice for our vendor partners that may have concerns doing business with competitors with challenged liquidity and capital resources."

Fiscal Year Results

Of the $34.36 billion in worldwide sales, North America contributed $14.19 billion (a two-percent increase versus the prior year); EMEA contributed $11.53 billion (a decrease of 7 percent, to which the translation impact of stronger European currencies had an approximate five-percentage-point positive effect on comparisons to the prior year); Asia-Pacific contributed $6.90 billion (a decrease of 3 percent versus the prior year); and Latin America contributed $1.73 billion (an increase of 12 percent versus the prior year).

The company posted a worldwide operating loss for the 2008 fiscal year of $332.2 million which includes the goodwill impairment charge of $742.6 million or 2.16 percent of revenues. Non-GAAP operating income excluding this charge was $410.5 million, or 1.19 percent of revenues, which included the following items aggregating to a charge of $10.4 million or 0.03 percent of revenues:

    --  Expense-reduction program costs of $18.6 million (0.05 percent of
        revenues);
    --  A benefit of $8.2 million (0.02 percent of revenues) related to the
        partial release of the Brazilian tax reserve.

In the year-ago period, operating income was $446.4 million, or 1.27 percent of revenues, which included the following items aggregating to a charge of $42.2 million or 0.12 percent of revenues:

    --  A net charge for Brazilian commercial taxes of $30.1 million (0.09
        percent of revenues);
    --  A charge of $15.0 million (0.04 percent of revenues) related to the
        previously disclosed United States Securities and Exchange Commission
        (SEC) matter;
    --  A gain on the sale of the semiconductor business in Asia of $2.9 million
        (0.01 percent of revenues).

The company posted a net loss of $394.9 million or $2.37 per diluted share for the 2008 fiscal year, which included the goodwill impairment charge of $742.6 million ($659.8 million after tax or $3.96 per diluted share) discussed previously. Non-GAAP net income excluding this charge was $264.9 million or $1.59 per diluted share which included the net charges described above totaling $0.03 per diluted share. In the year-ago period, net income was $275.9 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, which included the prior-year charges described above totaling $0.21 per diluted share.

Capital expenditures for the full year were $81.4 million, while total depreciation and amortization was $68.4 million.

Outlook

"Our team drove sales to the second-highest level in our history and delivered one of the best operational performances of this decade, despite the economy," said Spierkel. "I'm proud of their achievements, but our work is far from over. We expect 2009 to be even more challenging. Demand continues to soften across most of the countries in which we operate and the stronger dollar is also creating a translation headwind, affecting prior-year sales comparisons. Based on our sales figures to date, we expect first-quarter sales to experience a year-over-year percentage decline in the low-to-mid twenties, which includes the translation impact of relatively weaker foreign currencies."

Spierkel added: "We continue to make adjustments to improve profitability and position us for the future. We've made good progress on our expense-reduction program. However, we expect it will be difficult to reduce expenses in line with the pace of the current sales decline. We are taking additional actions in the first half of 2009 to accelerate this alignment, including further restructuring actions in Europe and North America. These actions are expected to generate savings of approximately $100 million to $120 million annually, reaching the full run-rate at the end of 2009. Total restructuring and other related costs associated with these actions are expected to range from approximately $45 million to $65 million. We will continue to pursue opportunities to enhance gross margin - such as the improvement of unprofitable business relationships and a greater mix of higher-margin businesses - to partially offset the lag in expense reductions.

"This company has proven that it can excel in challenging times," Spierkel continued. "We have what it takes to continue our track record of achievement - a strong financial position, outstanding relationships with vendors and reseller customers, breadth of expertise and geographies, and an outstanding team. The near-term will be bumpy for most companies, including Ingram Micro. Fortunately, our fiscal conservatism will serve us well as we tackle the difficulties of the current recession."
