Sanmina Reports Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year End Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2013 — (PRNewswire) — Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SANM), a leading integrated manufacturing solutions company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2013 Summary

Fiscal Year 2013 Summary

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.51 billion, compared to $1.49 billion in the prior quarter and $1.58 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.  Revenue for fiscal year ended September 28, 2013 was $5.92 billion, compared to $6.09 billion for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2012.

GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter was $44.7 million or 3.0 percent of revenue, compared to $32.2 million or 2.0 percent of revenue for the same period a year ago.  GAAP operating income for fiscal year 2013 was $157.6 million, compared to $137.5 million in fiscal year 2012.  GAAP net income in the fourth quarter was $38.8 million, compared to $164.2 million for the same period a year ago.  GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.44, compared to $1.96 in the same period a year ago.  GAAP net income for fiscal year 2013 was $79.4 million, compared to $180.2 million in fiscal year 2012.  GAAP diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2013 was $0.93, compared to $2.16 in fiscal year 2012.

Non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter was $55.7 million or 3.7 percent of revenue, compared to $56.0 million or 3.5 percent of revenue for the same period a year ago.  Non-GAAP operating income for the full fiscal year was $186.9 million, compared to $194.8 million for fiscal year 2012.  Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter was $39.9 million, compared to $38.0 million for the same period a year ago.  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.46 for the fourth quarter in both fiscal years.  Non-GAAP net income for the full fiscal year was $123.4 million, compared to $105.3 million for fiscal year 2012.  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2013 was $1.44, compared to $1.26 in fiscal 2012.

Balance Sheet Summary

"Our fourth quarter results were solid.  Revenue was up modestly, operating margins expanded 40 basis points sequentially and we generated cash flow from operations of $90 million for the quarter and $318 million for the fiscal year.  Our continued focus on cash generation provided us the financial flexibility to reduce our long-term debt $275 million for the year.  Improvements in our financial results are a testament to our focus on the fundamentals and solid execution of our strategy.   We will continue to invest in leading technologies that enhance our offerings to our customers, and we remain focused on the quality of our revenue to further strengthen our operating model and drive shareholder value," stated Jure Sola, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sanmina Corporation.

"Our revenue outlook for the first quarter is slightly down sequentially as a result of seasonality and slower than anticipated ramp of new programs.  We expect to deliver modest growth and further improve our financial results for fiscal year 2014," concluded Sola.

First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Outlook
The following outlook is for the first fiscal quarter ending December 28, 2013.  These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.

(2)In the commentary set forth above and/or in the financial statements included in this earnings release, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share.  In computing each of these non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude charges or gains relating to: stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs (including employee severance and benefits costs and charges related to excess facilities and assets), acquisition and integration costs (consisting of costs associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses into our operations), impairment charges for goodwill and other assets, amortization expense and other infrequent or unusual items (including charges associated with distressed customers, litigation settlements, gains and losses on sales of assets and redemptions of debt, discrete tax events and deferred tax changes), to the extent material or which we consider to be of a non-operational nature in the applicable period.   See Schedule 1 below for more information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures, including the economic substance behind each exclusion, the manner in which management uses non-GAAP measures to conduct and evaluate the business, the material limitations associated with using such measures and the manner in which management compensates for such limitations. A reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial statements contained in this release and is also available on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.sanmina.com.  Sanmina provides first quarter fiscal 2014 outlook only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent uncertainties associated with forecasting the timing and amount of acquisitions, restructuring activities, asset impairments and other unusual and infrequent items.

Schedule I

The commentary and financial information above includes non-GAAP measures of operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share.  Management excludes from these measures stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and integration expenses, impairment charges, amortization charges and other infrequent items, to the extent material or which we consider to be of a non-operational nature in the applicable period, and as more fully described below.

Management excludes these items principally because such charges are not directly related to the Company's ongoing core business operations. We use such non-GAAP measures in order to (1) make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of Company's operations, both internally and externally, (2) guide management in assessing the performance of the business, internally allocating resources and making decisions in furtherance of Company's strategic plan, (3) provide investors with a better understanding of how management plans and measures the business and (4) provide investors with a better understanding of the ongoing, core business. The material limitations to management's approach include the fact that the charges and expenses excluded are nonetheless charges required to be recognized under GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by using GAAP results to obtain a complete picture of the Company's performance and by including a reconciliation of non-GAAP results back to GAAP in its earnings releases.

Additional information regarding the economic substance of each exclusion, management's use of the resultant non-GAAP measures, the material limitations of management's approach and management's methods for compensating for such limitations is provided below.

Stock-based Compensation Expense, which consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of stock options and unvested restricted stock units granted to employees, is excluded in order to permit more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's results since the Company grants different amounts and value of stock options in each quarter. In addition, given the fact that competitors grant different amounts and types of equity award and may use different option valuation assumptions, excluding stock-based compensation permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Expenses, which consist of severance, lease termination, exit costs and other charges primarily related to closing and consolidating manufacturing facilities and those associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, are excluded because such charges (1) can be driven by the timing of acquisitions which are difficult to predict, (2) are not directly related to ongoing business results and (3) do not reflect expected future operating expenses. In addition, given the fact that the Company's competitors complete acquisitions and adopt restructuring plans at different times and in different amounts than the Company, excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors. Items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company's competitors and restructuring and integration expenses include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company's liquidity. Therefore, management also reviews GAAP results including these amounts.

Impairment Charges, which consist of non-cash charges, are excluded because such charges are non-recurring and do not reduce the Company's liquidity. In addition, given the fact that the Company's competitors may record impairment charges at different times, excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors.

Amortization Charges, which consist of non-cash charges impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions of businesses or assets, are also excluded because such charges do not reduce the Company's liquidity. In addition, such charges can be driven by the timing of acquisitions, which is difficult to predict. Excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors because the Company's competitors complete acquisitions at different times and for different amounts than the Company.    

Other Items, which consist of other infrequent or unusual items (including charges associated with distressed customers, litigation settlements, gains and losses on sales of assets and redemptions of debt, discrete tax events and deferred tax changes), to the extent material or non-operational in nature, are excluded because such items are typically non-recurring, difficult to predict or not directly related to the Company's ongoing core operations. However, items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company's competitors. In addition, these expenses include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company's liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations by reviewing GAAP results including these amounts.
