1. Income from continuing operations before non-operating items, income taxes and noncontrolling interest includes $729 thousand for direct acquisition and integration expenses in the fiscal 2011 first quarter.
2. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations includes direct acquisition and integration expenses of $474 thousand, net of tax in the fiscal 2011 first quarter.

“We are pleased with our strong performance in the fiscal first quarter, particularly considering our results included acquisition and integration expenses,” stated Kevin Murai, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our recent acquisitions are tracking to plan and we expect the integrations and the related charges to be completed by mid-year with increasing improvements to margins late in the year.”

“After the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, we are very pleased to report that all of our employees are safe and unharmed,” Mr. Murai continued. “SYNNEX Infotec suffered nominal inventory and facility damage, and we expect that the demand environment in Japan will be somewhat affected in the coming months. We believe that demand will remain solid in our base distribution and GBS business segments and we will continue to outperform the market.”


Business Segment Highlights:

 

 

Distribution: Revenue from continuing operations was $2.47 billion, an increase of 28.9% over the prior fiscal year quarter. The acquisition of Infotec in Japan added $301 million, and sales growth remained strong in both the U.S. and Canada. Distribution income from continuing operations before non-operating items, income taxes and noncontrolling interest was $47.2 million, or 1.91% of distribution revenue compared with $36.0 million, or 1.88% in the prior fiscal year quarter. Fiscal Q1 2011 included $287 thousand of direct acquisition and integration expenses.

 

 

Global Business Services (GBS): GBS revenue from continuing operations was $39.2 million, an increase of 50.5% over the prior fiscal year quarter. In the fiscal first quarter, the revenue contribution from acquisitions was $10.8 million. GBS income from continuing operations before non-operating items, income taxes and noncontrolling interest was $3.6 million, or 9.26% of GBS revenues compared with $3.0 million, or 11.35% in the prior fiscal year quarter. Fiscal Q1 2011 included $442 thousand in direct acquisition and integration expenses.

Additional Financial Highlights

 

 

The trailing fiscal four quarters ROIC was 10.2% for the fiscal first quarter of 2011, up from 9.1% in the prior year fiscal first quarter.

 

 

The cash conversion cycle was 44 days.

 

 

The debt to capitalization ratio was 33%.

 

 

Depreciation and amortization were $4.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Fiscal 2011 Second Quarter Outlook:

The following statements are based on the Company’s current expectations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. These forecasts include the Company’s current estimate of the impact from the recent earthquake and subsequent effects to Japan operations. This assessment remains on-going as the situation in Japan continues to evolve. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.

 

 

Revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.44 billion to $2.56 billion.

 

 

Net income, before direct anticipated acquisition and integration expenses, is expected to be in the range of $28.6 million to $29.9 million.

 

 

Diluted earnings per share, before direct anticipated acquisition and integration expenses, are expected to be in the range of $0.77 to $0.81.

 

 

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of approximately 37.1 million.

 

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, pre-tax direct acquisition and integration expenses are expected to total $0.8 million to $1.8 million.
