Black Box Corporation Reports First Quarter of Fiscal 2009 Results
Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX) today reported results for the first
quarter of Fiscal 2009 ended June 28, 2008.
For the first quarter of Fiscal 2009, diluted earnings per share were 73¢
on net income of $12.8 million or 5.3% of revenues compared to diluted
earnings per share of 46¢ on net income of
$8.2 million or 3.2% of revenues for the same quarter last year. On a
sequential quarter comparison basis, fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008
diluted earnings per share were 48¢ on net
income of $8.4 million or 3.4% of revenues. Excluding reconciling items,
operating earnings per share (which is a non-GAAP term and is defined
below) for the first quarter of Fiscal 2009 were 74¢
on operating net income (which is a non-GAAP term and is defined below)
of $12.9 million or 5.3% of revenues compared to operating earnings per
share of 73¢ on operating net income of $12.8
million or 5.1% of revenues for the same quarter last year. Management
believes that presenting operating earnings per share and operating net
income is useful to investors because it provides a more meaningful
comparison of the ongoing operations of the Company.
For the first quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company’s
pre-tax reconciling items were $0.1 million with an after-tax impact on
EPS of 1¢. During the first quarter of Fiscal
2008, as previously disclosed, the Company’s
pre-tax reconciling items were $7.4 million with an after-tax impact on
net income and EPS of $4.7 million and 27¢,
respectively. See below for further discussion regarding Management’s
use of non-GAAP accounting measurements and a detailed presentation of
the Company’s pre-tax reconciling items for
the periods presented above.
First quarter of Fiscal 2009 total revenues were $243 million, a
decrease of $9 million or 4% from $252 million for the same quarter last
year. On a sequential quarter comparison basis, fourth quarter of Fiscal
2008 total revenues were $245 million.
First quarter of Fiscal 2009 cash provided by operating activities was
$12 million or 97% of net income, compared to $8 million or 94% of net
income for the same quarter last year. First quarter of Fiscal 2009 free
cash flow (which is a non-GAAP term and is defined below) was $12
million compared to $7 million for the same quarter last year. On a
sequential quarter comparison basis, fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008 cash
provided by operating activities was $44 million or 528% of net income
and free cash flow was $43 million. Black Box utilized its first quarter
of Fiscal 2009 free cash flow primarily to fund current and prior period
acquisition activity of $6 million, to fund debt reduction of $6 million
and to pay dividends of $1 million, resulting in a $1 million decrease
in its cash position. Management believes that free cash flow, defined
by the Company as cash provided by operating activities less net capital
expenditures, plus proceeds from stock option exercises, plus or minus
foreign currency translation adjustments, is an important measurement of
liquidity as it represents the total cash available to the Company.
The Company’s six-month order backlog was $158
million at June 28, 2008 compared to $165 million for the same quarter
last year. On a sequential quarter end comparison basis, the Company’s
six-month order backlog was $159 million at March 31, 2008.
For Fiscal 2009, the Company continues to target reported revenues of
approximately $1.0 billion; corresponding operating earnings per share
in the range of $3.30 to $3.45; and cash provided by operating
activities in the range of 90% to 100% of operating net income.
All of the above exclude acquisition-related expense, stock-based
compensation expense, historical stock option granting practices
investigation costs and the impact of changes in the fair market value
of the Company’s interest-rate swap, and all
of the above are before any new mergers and acquisition activity that
has not been announced.
Commenting on the first quarter of Fiscal 2009 results, Terry Blakemore,
President and Chief Executive Officer, said "Our
first quarter of Fiscal 2009 results are reflective of the current
economic environment and its effect on our end-markets. We are generally
pleased with our operating earnings per share and cash flow results
relative to our previously-disclosed outlook for Fiscal 2009. We closely
monitored our cost structure during the quarter which was aligned to
achieve an additional $2 to $3 million of revenues primarily in our
Hotline Services. Relative to achieving our financial objectives for the
year, we remain committed to improving our profitability through
effective management of our cost structure consistent with expected
revenue levels over the coming quarters.”
Mr. Blakemore went on to say, "From an
operational perspective, we will continue to focus on delivering the
highest quality technical support services to our clients around the
world. Together, these financial and operational objectives support our
longer-term strategic goal of significantly growing Black Box by
continuing to consummate high quality M&A opportunities.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As a supplement to United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP”),
the Company provides non-GAAP financial measures such as free cash flow,
cash provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments,
operating net income, operating earnings per share, Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA”),
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating income and Same-office revenue
comparisons to illustrate the Company's operational performance. These
non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and,
therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to
the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided Management
explanations regarding their use and the usefulness of non-GAAP
financial measures, definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures and
reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures,
which are provided below.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate the
Company's historical and prospective financial performance as well as
its performance relative to its competitors, (b) to set internal sales
targets and associated operating budgets, (c) to allocate resources, (d)
to measure operational profitability and (e) as an important factor in
determining variable compensation for Management and its team members.
Moreover, the Company has historically reported these non-GAAP financial
measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information
with past reports of financial results.
While Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations
associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The limitations
include (i) the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in
accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of the Company's
competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled
measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in
the exact method of calculation, (ii) the non-GAAP financial measures
exclude restructuring, severance and other acquisition integration costs
(collectively referred to as "restructuring
charges” or "restructuring
payments”) incurred during the periods
reported that will impact future operating results, (iii) the non-GAAP
financial measures exclude certain non-cash amortization of intangible
assets on acquisitions, however, they do not specifically exclude the
added benefits of these costs, such as revenue and contributing
operating margin, (iv) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash
stock-based compensation charges, which are similar to cash compensation
paid to employees and are an integral part of achieving our operating
results, (v) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash asset
write-up depreciation expense on acquisitions related to acquisitions
made during recent years which is derived from the book value to fair
market value write-up on acquired assets, (vi) the non-GAAP financial
measures exclude historical stock option granting practices
investigation costs, (vii) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude the
non-cash change in fair value of the interest-rate swap which will
continue to impact the Company’s earnings
until the interest-rate swap is settled, (viii) the non-GAAP financial
measures exclude expenses incurred as a result of measures taken by the
Company to address the application of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (hereinafter referred to as "409A
expenses”) and (ix) there is no assurance the
excluded items in the non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the
future. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these
non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures
and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures
to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative for, GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not
meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable
GAAP financial measurements, and should be read only in conjunction with
the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is defined by the Company as cash provided by operating
activities less net capital expenditures, plus proceeds from stock
option exercises, plus or minus foreign currency translation
adjustments. Management’s reasons for
exclusion of each item are explained in further detail below.
Net capital expenditures
The Company believes net capital expenditures must be taken into account
along with cash provided by operating activities to more properly
reflect the actual cash available to the Company. Net capital
expenditures are typically material and directly impact the availability
of the Company’s operating cash. Net capital
expenditures are comprised of capital expenditures and capital disposals.
Proceeds from stock option exercises
The Company believes that proceeds from stock option exercises should be
added to cash provided by operating activities to more accurately
reflect the actual cash available to the Company. The Company has
demonstrated a recurring inflow of cash related to its stock-based
compensation plans and, since this cash is immediately available to the
Company, it directly impacts the availability of the Company’s
operating cash. The amount of proceeds from stock option exercises is
dependent upon a number of variables, including the number and exercise
price of outstanding options and the trading price of the Company's
common stock. In addition, the timing of stock option exercises is under
the control of the individual option holder and is not in the control of
the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the timing or
amount of any proceeds from stock option exercises.
Foreign currency translation adjustment
Due to the size of the Company’s
international operations, and the ability of the Company to utilize cash
generated from foreign operations locally without the need to convert
such currencies to U.S. dollars on a regular basis, the Company believes
that it is appropriate to adjust its operating cash flows to take into
account the positive and / or negative impact of such charges as such
adjustment provides an appropriate measure of the availability of the
Company’s operating cash on a world-wide
basis. A limitation of adjusting cash flows to account for the foreign
currency impact is that it may not provide an accurate measure of cash
available in U.S. dollars.

flow is presented below:

Cash provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments
Cash provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments
is defined by the Company as cash provided by operating activities plus
restructuring payments. Restructuring payments are the cash payments
made during the period for restructuring charges. The Company believes
that restructuring payments should be added to cash provided by
operating activities to more accurately reflect the cash flow from
operations.

provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments is

Operating net income and operating earnings per share ("EPS”)
Management believes that operating net income, defined by the Company as
net income plus reconciling items, and operating EPS, defined as
operating net income divided by weighted average common shares
outstanding (diluted), provide investors additional important
information to enable them to assess, in a way Management assesses, the
Company’s current and future operations.
Reconciling items include restructuring charges, amortization of
intangible assets on acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense,
asset write-up depreciation expense on acquisitions, historical stock
option granting practices investigation costs, the change in fair value
of the interest-rate swap and 409A expenses. Management’s
reason for exclusion of each item is explained in further detail below.
Restructuring charges
The Company believes that incurring costs in the current period(s) as
part of a restructuring plan or as a result of economies of scale from
acquisitions will result in a long-term positive impact on financial
performance in the future. Restructuring charges are presented in
accordance with GAAP in the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. However, due to the
material amount of additional costs incurred during a single or possibly
successive periods, Management believes that exclusion of these costs
and their related tax impact provides a more accurate reflection of the
Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Amortization of intangible assets on
acquisitions
The Company incurs non-cash amortization expense from intangible assets
related to various acquisitions it has made in recent years. Management
excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of
calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing
operational performance of the Company because these costs are fixed at
the time of an acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several
years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or
influenced by Management after the acquisition.
Stock-based compensation expense
The Company records non-cash stock-based compensation expense equal to
the fair value of share-based payment awards to its directors,
executives and employees. Non-cash stock-based compensation is an
integral part of ongoing operations since it is considered similar to
other types of compensation to employees. However, Management believes
that varying levels of stock-based compensation expense could result in
misleading period-over-period comparisons and is providing an adjusted
disclosure which excludes stock-based compensation and its related tax
impact.
Asset write-up depreciation expense on
acquisitions
The Company incurs non-cash asset write-up depreciation expense on
acquisitions related to acquisitions made during recent years.
Specifically, this non-cash expenditure is derived from the book value
to fair market value write-up on acquired assets. Asset write-ups are
depreciated over their remaining useful life which generally falls
between one to five years. Management excludes these expenses and their
related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial
measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the
Company because these costs are fixed from acquisition to the end of the
asset’s useful life, and generally cannot be
changed or influenced by Management after the acquisition.
Historical stock option granting
practices investigation costs
The Company incurred significant costs in connection with its
investigation of historical stock option granting practices during the
current year. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax
impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when
it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company
because these costs are generally non-recurring and cannot be changed or
influenced by Management.
Change in fair value of the interest-rate
swap
To mitigate the risk of interest-rate fluctuations associated with the
Company’s variable rate debt, the Company
entered into a five-year interest-rate swap ("interest-rate
swap”) that does not qualify as a cash flow
hedge. Thus, the Company records the change in fair value of the
interest-rate swap as an asset/liability within the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offset to Interest
expense (income) within the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Management excludes this
non-cash expense (income) and the related tax impact for the purpose of
calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing
operational performance of the Company because these costs generally
cannot be changed or influenced by Management.
409A expenses
The Company incurred significant costs as a result of measures taken to
address the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, related to its stock options. Management excludes
these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of
calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing
operational performance of the Company because these costs are generally
non-recurring and cannot be changed or influenced by Management.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes that EBITDA, defined as income before provision for
income taxes plus interest, depreciation and amortization, is a widely
accepted measure of profitability that may be used to measure the Company’s
ability to service its debt. Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA plus
