Jabil Posts Second Quarter Results

Updates Full Year Guidance

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--()--Today Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL) reported preliminary, unaudited financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2016, including second quarter net revenue of $4.4 billion reflecting a two percent revenue increase over fiscal 2015.

“I’m pleased to report second quarter results that were largely in line with our guidance and expectations,” said CEO Mark Mondello. “The performance of our EMS segment was outstanding and above expectations, while our DMS segment grew modestly as we faced a slight downturn in product demand late in our fiscal quarter specific to our mobility business,” he added.

U.S. GAAP (as defined below) operating income for the second quarter was $154.9 million and U.S. GAAP net diluted earnings per share was $0.41. Core operating income (as defined below) was $186.3 million and core diluted earnings per share (as defined below) was $0.57.

Jabil’s two reporting segments delivered the following revenue results for the company’s second fiscal quarter:

  • Diversified Manufacturing Services: $1.7 billion.
  • Electronics Manufacturing Services: $2.7 billion.

(Definitions used: "U.S. GAAP" means U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Jabil defines core operating income as U.S. GAAP operating income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges and goodwill impairment charges. Jabil defines core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations and certain other expenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax valuation allowance charges. Jabil defines core diluted earnings per share as core earnings divided by the weighted average number of outstanding diluted shares as determined under U.S. GAAP. Jabil calculates its core return on invested capital by annualizing its after-tax core operating income for its most recently ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter average of its net invested capital base. Jabil reports core operating income, core earnings, core diluted and basic earnings per share and core return on invested capital to provide investors an additional method for assessing operating income, earnings, diluted earnings per share and return on invested capital from what it believes are its core manufacturing operations. See the accompanying reconciliation of Jabil's core operating income to its U.S. GAAP operating income, its calculation of core earnings and core diluted earnings per share to its U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per share, its calculation of core return on invested capital and additional information in the supplemental information.)

Quarterly Results               Q2 2016               Q2 2015            
Net revenue $4.4 billion $4.3 billion
U.S. GAAP operating income $154.9 million $124.9 million
U.S. GAAP net income $78.9 million $52.0 million
U.S. GAAP net diluted earnings per share $0.41 $0.27
U.S. GAAP return on invested capital 12.3% 12.1%
Core operating income $186.3 million $166.0 million
Core earnings $109.3 million $98.3 million
Core diluted earnings per share $0.57 $0.50
Core return on invested capital 15.6% 17.6%

Business Outlook

“Our updated outlook for the third quarter reflects reduced demand in mobility,” said CEO Mark Mondello. “The strength in our EMS business further illustrates the positive impact of our portfolio strategy. A strategy well grounded in diverse income streams,” he added.

Fiscal Year 2016 Third Quarter Guidance:

-- Net revenue     $4.1 billion to $4.3 billion
-- U.S. GAAP operating income $46 million to $71 million
-- U.S. GAAP net diluted (loss) earnings per share ($0.05) to $0.03 per diluted share
-- Core operating income $80 million to $100 million
-- Core diluted earnings per share $0.12 to $0.18 per diluted share
-- Diversified Manufacturing Services Decrease revenue 10 percent year-on-year
-- Electronics Manufacturing Services Consistent revenue year-on-year
-- Total company Decrease revenue 4 percent year-on-year

(U.S. GAAP net diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 are currently estimated to include $0.04 per share for amortization of intangibles, $0.10 per share for stock-based compensation expense and related charges and $0.03 to $0.01 per share for restructuring and related charges.)

Management updated the fiscal year 2016 revenue outlook to approximately $18.5 billion; U.S. GAAP net diluted earnings per share outlook to approximately $1.48 and core diluted earnings per share outlook to approximately $2.12.

CALCULATION OF RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL
AND CORE RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL
 
The Company calculates: (1) its "Return on Invested Capital" by annualizing its "after-tax U.S. GAAP operating income" for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by the average of its "net invested capital asset base" and (2) its "Core Return on Invested Capital" by annualizing its "after-tax non-U.S. GAAP core operating income" for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by the “average net invested capital asset base."
 
The Company calculates: (1) its "after-tax U.S. GAAP operating income" by subtracting a certain tax effect (the calculation of which is explained below) from its U.S. GAAP operating income and (2) its "after-tax non-U.S. GAAP core operating income" as its non-U.S. GAAP core operating income less a certain tax effect (the calculation of which is explained below). See elsewhere in this earnings release for a reconciliation of the Company's non-U.S. GAAP core operating income to its U.S. GAAP operating income.
 
The Company calculates its "average net invested capital asset base" as the sum of the averages (the calculations of which are explained below) of its stockholders’ equity, current and non-current portions of its notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations less the average (the calculation of which is explained below) of its cash and cash equivalents.
 
The following table reconciles (1) "Return on Invested Capital," as calculated using "after-tax U.S. GAAP operating income" to (2) "Core Return on Invested Capital," as calculated using "after-tax non-U.S. GAAP core operating income":
