3. The fiscal 2011 third quarter operating income includes a $4.1 million credit adjustment to contingent M&A consideration.

"I am pleased with our third quarter results, highlighted by strong profitability and share gains in our Distribution segment, and solid progress in our Global Business Services (GBS) segment," stated Kevin Murai, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Fiscal 2012 Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Distribution: Revenue was $2.54 billion, essentially flat with the prior fiscal year quarter. Distribution income before non-operating items, income taxes and non-controlling interest was $52.6 million, or 2.08% of distribution revenue compared with $58.6 million, or 2.31% in the prior fiscal year quarter. Fiscal 2012 third quarter results include certain customer business which transitioned year-over-year from a gross revenue business to a net fee for service logistics relationship.

  • Global Business Services (GBS): Revenue grew to $49.7 million, an increase of 22.8% over the prior fiscal year quarter. GBS income before non-operating items, income taxes and non-controlling interest was $4.6 million, or 9.21% of GBS revenue compared with $7.9 million, or 19.58% in the prior fiscal year quarter. The fiscal 2012 third quarter SG&A included a $0.7 million adjustment for contingent M&A consideration compared with $4.1 million in the prior fiscal year quarter.

  • The trailing fiscal four quarters ROIC increased to 11.1% for the fiscal third quarter of 2012, up from 10.5% in the prior year fiscal third quarter.

  • The cash conversion cycle declined to 41 days compared to 45 days in the prior fiscal year quarter.

  • The debt to capitalization ratio was 19%.

  • Depreciation and amortization were $4.2 and $2.1 million, respectively.

Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter Outlook:

The following statements are based on the Company's current expectations for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.

"Our guidance reflects continued strong performance and market share gains in a somewhat more challenging demand environment," Mr. Murai continued. "We are projecting that consumer demand will remain soft, and commercial demand will be relatively stable resulting in less than normal seasonal demand."

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.71 billion to $2.81 billion.

  • Net income is expected to be in the range of $38.4 million to $40.0 million.

  • Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $1.02 to $1.06.

The prior year fourth quarter was impacted by several items. Reported revenue was net of certain customer business which had partially transitioned from a gross revenue business to a net fee for service logistics relationship. This transition was completed during fiscal 2012 and will result in lower reported revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Also, the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter included a very significant gross margin benefit resulting from shortages of hard disk drives.
