Full Year 2005 Results

 

Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was a record $1.98 billion, an increase of 16 percent from $1.70 billion in 2004.  Net income for the year 2005 was $144.1 million or $0.72 per diluted share, down 21 percent from $181.5 million or $0.90 per diluted share in 2004.

 

Non-GAAP net income for 2005, which excludes the aforementioned incremental tax charge associated with the repatriation of cash, was $163.9 million or $0.82 per diluted share.  Net income for 2004 includes a net tax credit of approximately $20.8 million or $0.10 per diluted share associated with the reversal of income tax provisioning resulting from the favorable outcome of tax audits by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities, partially offset by a charge for excess inventory of $11.5 million or $0.04 per diluted share after-tax.  Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for 2004 was $169.2 million or $0.84 per diluted share.  On a non-GAAP basis, full year 2005 net income decreased 3 percent year-over-year.

“We are pleased that the investments we have made in the innovative products and service offerings for our customers and partners continued to drive double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter,” said Rodger B. Dowdell, Jr., APC’s president and chief executive officer.  “We experienced growth across all of our product lines and we are particularly proud of the 60% year-over-year revenue growth for InfraStruXure, our core NCPI solution.  We are also investing to re-architect our supply chain to drive higher levels of customer satisfaction and reduce product costs while simultaneously investing in the start up of new product lines as well as new factories.  While we are realizing some benefits of higher volume on our manufacturing costs, as well as leverage on our operating expenses, we are incurring additional costs to implement the improvements in our manufacturing and supply chain which impacted our gross margin in the quarter.”

 



 

Segment Review

 

For the fourth quarter and full year 2005, APC reported record revenue in the Large Systems segment, consisting primarily of 3-phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), APC Global Services, precision cooling and ancillary products for data centers, facilities and communication applications.  Fourth quarter revenue of $143.1 million increased 33 percent year-over-year and 43 percent sequentially.  Full year 2005 Large Systems segment revenue of $429 million was up 33 percent from 2004.

 

The Company also reported record Small Systems segment revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2005.  Fourth quarter revenue in the Company’s Small Systems segment, which provides power protection, UPS and management products for the PC, server and networking markets, was $413 million, up 9 percent year-over-year and up 6 percent sequentially.  For the full year, the Small Systems segment increased 13 percent to approximately $1.5 billion.

 

Business Outlook

 

Dowdell continued, “As we implement initiatives to transform APC into a lean, ambidextrous, customer-centric enterprise, we expect to begin to see the benefits of the improvements in our global supply chain, distribution, and manufacturing operations throughout the year.  We believe that now is the time to invest in continuing the momentum that is building in our ISX business and, as this business grows, we will continue to work on optimizing our margins. For 2005, growing our top line at approximately 3 times the growth rate of the global IT market implies we are effectively addressing our customers’ real problems. Most importantly, we are investing to win InfraStruXure customers today in order to benefit from their follow-on business tomorrow.”

 

Common Stock Repurchase Program

 

The Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing up to $200 million to repurchase outstanding shares of APC’s common stock. The purchases would be made on the open market based on market and business factors. The duration of the repurchase program is two years but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.  “The actions taken by our Board of Directors to authorize a stock buyback program demonstrate our confidence in APC’s future,” said Dowdell.

 



 

Non-GAAP Results

 

The Company believes that the non-GAAP results, i.e., results excluding certain charges or one-time events, described in this release for the fourth quarter 2005 and full year 2005 and 2004, are useful for an understanding of its ongoing operations because GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) results include financial results not expected to be part of the Company’s ongoing business.  Specifically, the Company does not currently believe the charges and one-time events items outlined in this release for the fourth quarter 2005, full year 2005 and full year 2004 will recur in future quarters.  The Company cautions that non-GAAP results are not a substitute for GAAP results.  A comparison and reconciliation from non-GAAP to GAAP results is included in the financial statements accompanying this release.

 

Conference Call and Webcast

 

In conjunction with the fourth quarter and full year 2005 earnings announcement, APC management is hosting a conference call to discuss the Company’s results.  This conference call will be held today, February 2, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time and will be available live and archived, in its entirety, to the public via the Company’s Web site at investor.apcc.com or live by dialing 913-981-4901.  A replay will be accessible via telephone at approximately 8:00 p.m. on February 2 by dialing 719-457-0820 and entering the access code 2840317 and will continue through February 9 at midnight Eastern Time.

demand environment; general worldwide economic conditions, and, in particular, the possibility that the PC and related markets decline; growth rates in the power protection industry and related industries; product mix changes and the potential negative impact on gross margins from such changes; changes in the seasonality of demand patterns; inventory risks due to shifts in market demand; component constraints, shortages, pricing and quality; risk of nonpayment of accounts receivable; the uncertainty of the litigation process including risk of an unexpected, unfavorable result of current or future litigation; and the risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
