Knowles Reports Q4 and Year End 2014 Financial Results

ITASCA, Ill., Feb. 12, 2015 - Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN), a market leader and global supplier of advanced micro-acoustic solutions and specialty components, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
“We reported Q4 results that were consistent with our prior expectations, excluding one-time charges related to the microphone situation we discussed last quarter,” said Jeffrey Niew, President and CEO of Knowles. “Revenue in our mobile consumer segment was down 6 percent sequentially, as microphone shipments on a specific platform remained on hold for the entire fourth quarter. We are pleased to report that we have been re-qualified and expect to resume microphone shipments on this platform in the second quarter. Strong quarter-over-quarter sales of our speaker/receiver products helped offset the declines in microphones. Sales in specialty components were down slightly quarter-over-quarter as strong acoustics revenue was offset by lower demand in telecom infrastructure.”
“Although 2014 was a challenging year for the Company due to the microphone issue, we made excellent progress during the year in a number of different areas. These areas include our investment in new product development as well as manufacturing optimization across both business segments. Sales of integrated audio solutions more than doubled in 2014 and sales to Chinese OEMS grew over 70 percent from the prior year driven by multi mic and integrated module adoption. In addition, we made solid progress in product development for our intelligent audio solutions.”
“In summary, I’m confident that the improvements we’ve made to our business in 2014 - both priming the new product pipeline and optimizing our manufacturing footprint - will translate into revenue growth and profitability in the years to come.”
Financial Highlights
The following highlights the Company’s financial performance on both a GAAP and supplemental non-GAAP basis. The Company provides supplemental information regarding its gross profit, operating expenses, earnings before interest and income taxes, adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes, net earnings and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis that excludes stock compensation as well as certain intangibles amortization expense, restructuring, production transfer costs, and other charges which management considers to be outside our core operating results.

flows; our ability to prevent or identify quality issues in our products or to promptly remedy any such issues that are identified; the timing related to the resumption of our production and shipments of the microphone products that we have recently been re-qualified to manufacture that are referenced in this release; unexpected technological obsolescence and the emergence of new technologies; changes in macroeconomic conditions, both in the U.S. and internationally; our financial performance during and after the current economic conditions; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to maintain and improve costs, quality and delivery for our customers; our ability to qualify our products and facilities with customers; risks and costs inherent in litigation; our ability to obtain, protect, defend or monetize our intellectual property rights; whether our announced restructurings will adversely affect our cost structure; increases in the costs of critical raw materials and components; availability of raw materials and components; competition; anticipated growth for us and adoption of our technologies and solutions that may not occur; managing rapid growth; managing rapid declines in customer demand for certain of our products or solutions, delays in customer product introductions, and other related customer challenges that may occur; our ability to successfully consummate acquisitions and divestitures; our obligations and risks under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of our spin-off from our former parent company, Dover Corporation; managing the integration of our businesses which were included in our recent spin-off from Dover Corporation; managing new product ramps and introductions for our customers; risks associated with international sales and operations; retaining key personnel; our dependence on a limited number of large customers; business and competitive factors generally affecting the advanced micro-acoustic solutions and specialty components industry, our customers and our business, fluctuations in demand by our telecom and other customers; other factors that we may not have currently identified or quantified; and other risks, relevant factors and uncertainties identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, subsequent Reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and our other filings we make with the SEC. Knowles disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Supplemental Information
The financial results disclosed in this release include certain measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the GAAP results included in this press release, Knowles has presented supplemental, non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, earnings before interest and income taxes, adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes, net earnings, diluted earnings per share to facilitate evaluation of Knowles’ operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain amounts that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Knowles uses non-GAAP measures as supplements to its GAAP results of operations in evaluating certain aspects of its business, and its Board of Directors and executive management team focus on non-GAAP items as key measures of Knowles’ performance for business planning purposes. These measures assist Knowles in comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles’ opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance. Knowles believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Knowles uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

Notes:
(1) In addition to the GAAP financial measures included herein, Knowles has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures. Knowles uses non-GAAP measures as supplements to its GAAP results of operations in evaluating certain aspects of its business, and its Board of Directors and executive management team focus on non-GAAP items as key measures of Knowles' performance for business planning purposes. These measures assist Knowles in comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles' opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance. Knowles believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Knowles uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.
(2) Production Transfer Costs represent one-time and duplicate costs incurred to migrate manufacturing to new or existing facilities in Asia. These amounts are included in the corresponding Gross Profit, Research and Development Expenses, Selling and Administrative Expenses, Operating Expenses and Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes for each period presented.
(3) In the third quarter of 2014, Other represents a charge related to the resolution of customer claims for products no longer produced.
(4) On February 28, 2014, Dover shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 19, 2014 received one share of Knowles common stock for every two shares of Dover's common stock held as of the record date. The computation of diluted earnings per common share for all periods through December 31, 2013 is calculated using the shares distributed on February 28, 2014.
(5) The number of shares used in the diluted per share calculations on a non-GAAP basis excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
