Insight Enterprises, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Record Full Year 2019 Results

February 12, 2020 8:00 AM

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSIT) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019. Highlights include:

In the fourth quarter of 2019, net sales increased 31%, gross profit increased 33% and gross margin increased 20 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increases are primarily the result of our acquisition of PCM, Inc. (“PCM”) on August 30, 2019. Earnings from operations increased 14% and diluted earnings per share decreased 8%, year to year, primarily as a result of acquisition-related and severance and restructuring expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2019 while Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 11% compared to the same period in the prior year.

“Our fourth quarter results reflect the scale and momentum in our business leading to another record year for our company,” stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the fourth quarter of 2019 we continued to execute against our strategy to deliver IT solutions to our clients globally, leading with services and solutions that drive business outcomes for our clients. In addition, we focused on bringing PCM teammates into the Insight organization and executed against our integration plans while delivering solid financial results,” stated Lamneck.

For the full year 2019, consolidated net sales were $7.7 billion, up 9% year over year, reflecting strong growth in services, including higher volume net sales of cloud solutions offerings and software maintenance, and the addition of PCM. Gross profit increased 15%, year over year, with gross margins increasing 70 basis points to 14.7% for the full year. Earnings from operations grew 3%, year over year to $240.6 million.

“The team’s focus on improving product mix and expanding our services offerings drove gross profit growth faster than sales, year over year, and improved gross margin to 14.7%, a new record for the company,” stated Lamneck. ”Top line growth and gross margin expansion combined with continued expense discipline drove a fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth in adjusted earnings from operations,” stated Lamneck.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Results for the Quarter:

Results for the Year:

In discussing financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 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 2020, the Company expects to deliver sales growth in the 20 to 25% range, including the results of PCM, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $6.55 and $6.65.

This outlook assumes:

This outlook does not reflect the repurchase of any shares of the Company’s common stock, excludes acquisition-related expenses, excludes severance and restructuring expenses incurred, excludes amortization of intangible assets of approximately $37 million, and excludes amortization of convertible debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $12 million. Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting some 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 2020 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 fourth quarter and full year 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 13698319.

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, (iv) impairment of property and equipment, and (v) 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, (iii) impairment of construction in progress, and (iv) 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.
