Insight Enterprises, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

November 6, 2019 8:00 AM

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Insight Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: NSIT) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and compared the results to the quarter ended September 30, 2018:

In the third quarter of 2019, net sales increased 9%, gross profit increased 18% and gross margin increased 100 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in net sales is primarily the result of our acquisition of PCM, Inc. (“PCM”) on August 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects an increase in higher margin services net sales, including cloud solutions, reported in the Company’s legacy business and higher margins from PCM net sales. Earnings from operations decreased 11% and diluted earnings per share decreased 15%, year to year, as a result of acquisition-related and restructuring expenses incurred in the quarter compared to the same period in the prior year.

“Our third quarter results reflect our strategy to leverage our four solution areas to optimize our business mix in higher margin categories, including cloud solutions and services, which led to a 100 basis point improvement in gross margin in the quarter. We also closed the PCM acquisition on August 30th which expands our reach into higher margin end markets which we expect will provide opportunity to scale our business and drive additional margin improvement in the future,” stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our differentiated solutions and disciplined operating model combined with PCM’s reach into the middle market will position us well to drive growth and deliver on our financial commitments as we head into 2020,” stated Lamneck.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

In discussing financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 in this press release, the Company refers to certain financial measures that are adjusted from the financial results prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). When referring to non-GAAP measures, the Company refers to such measures as “Adjusted.” See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information. A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

In some instances the Company refers to changes in net sales, gross profit and earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in North America, EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. In computing these changes and percentages, the Company compares the current year amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior year amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period.

The tax effect of Adjusted amounts referenced herein were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.

GUIDANCE

For the full year 2019, the Company expects to deliver net sales growth between 9% and 11% compared to 2018, reflecting the acquisition of PCM for the last four months of the year. The Company’s Adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook for the full year of 2019 is between $5.45 and $5.50.

This outlook assumes:

This outlook does not reflect the repurchase of any further shares of the Company’s common stock, excludes acquisition-related expenses, excludes severance and restructuring expenses incurred, excludes amortization of intangible assets, and excludes amortization of convertible debt discount and issuance costs during the first nine months of 2019 and those that may be incurred during the balance of 2019. Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting all of these types of expenses, which impact net earnings and diluted earnings per share, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the impact of such expenses, if any, to net earnings and diluted earnings per share. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year 2019 forecast.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST

The Company will host a conference call and live web cast today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss third quarter 2019 results of operations. A live web cast of the conference call (in listen-only mode) will be available on the Company’s web site at http://investor.insight.com/, and a replay of the web cast will be available on the Company’s web site for a limited time following the call. To listen to the live web cast by telephone, call 1-877-524-8416 if located in the U.S., 412-902-1028 for international callers, and enter the access code 13695651.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures are referred to as “Adjusted.” Adjusted consolidated earnings from operations, Adjusted consolidated net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) certain acquisition-related expenses, (iii) amortization of intangible assets, and (iv) the tax effects of each of these items, as applicable. Adjusted consolidated net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share also exclude amortization of debt discount and issuance costs associated with the issuance of the Company’s convertible senior notes due 2025. The Company excludes these items when internally evaluating earnings from operations, tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the Company and earnings from operations for each of the Company’s operating segments. Adjusted free cash flow is the Company’s net cash provided or used by operating activities adjusted for (i) purchases of property and equipment and (ii) the net borrowings or repayments under the inventory financing facilities. Adjusted return on invested capital (“ROIC”) excludes (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) certain acquisition-related expenses, and (iii) the tax effects of each of these items, as applicable.

Insight has incurred amortization of intangible assets, included in its GAAP financial statements, related to various acquisitions Insight has made. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition; therefore Insight is excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets from its non-GAAP financial measures, as indicated above, to provide investors with a more consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-acquisition operating results.

These non-GAAP measures are used to evaluate financial performance against budgeted amounts, to calculate incentive compensation, to assist in forecasting future performance and to compare the Company’s results to those of the Company’s competitors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and the Company’s competitors’ results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
