INDIANAPOLIS, May 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brightpoint, Inc. (Nasdaq:CELL - News) reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Unless otherwise noted, amounts pertain to the first quarter of 2009.
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2009:
Revenue was $709 million for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 40% compared to the first quarter of 2008 and a decrease of 30% compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, due to a decrease in both wireless devices handled and average selling price brought on by the global economic downturn.
Loss from continuing operations was $3.1 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009 compared to income from continuing operations of $3.2 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2008.
Adjusted income from continuing operations (non-GAAP) was $4.2 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $9.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2008. Please see the disclosure below regarding adjusted income from continuing operations (non-GAAP). Adjustments to income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2009 include:
* $5.1 million (pre-tax) of restructuring charges in connection
with our previously announced 2009 spending and debt reduction
plan.
* $3.6 million (pre-tax) of non-cash amortization expense related
to acquired intangible assets.
* $1.7 million (pre-tax) of non-cash stock based compensation
expense.
* $3.1 million tax impact of the items described above.
Total debt was $138.3 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $176.4 million at December 31, 2008 and $378.4 million at March 31, 2008. Total liquidity (unrestricted cash and unused borrowing availability) was $398.1 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $401.2 million at December 31, 2008 and $313.1 million at March 31, 2008. Average daily debt outstanding for the first quarter of 2009 was $216.0 million compared to average daily debt outstanding of $333.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $513.0 million for the first quarter of 2008.
Gross margin was 8.8% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 7.5% for the first quarter of 2008 and 8.0% for the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a higher mix of logistic services revenue as well as an improved cost structure resulting from the impact of spending reductions in our North America operations.
SG&A expenses were $52.5 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $69.8 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $59.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenue were 7.4% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 5.9% for the first quarter of 2008 and 5.8% for the fourth quarter of 2008 due to lower revenue in the first quarter of 2009. SG&A expenses were lower compared to the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to the impact of our 2008 realignment of our Europe operations as well as the impact of our 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan. Please refer to the separate press release dated May 7, 2009 for an update on the Company's previously announced 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan.
Interest expense, net was $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. Interest expense, net decreased because of the positive impact of our debt reduction initiatives in 2008 and 2009.
Income tax benefit was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to income tax expense of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2008. The effective tax rate was 30.8% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 31.9% for the first quarter of 2008.
Cash provided by operating activities was $35.8 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $98.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 and cash used in operating activities of $40.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.
EBITDA was $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2008.
Units handled were 18.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 21.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 and 21.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.
"Given the tough global economic environment over the last 12 months, I am proud of our first quarter 2009 performance specifically in the areas of overall debt and spending reduction," said Robert J. Laikin, Brightpoint's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive officer. "In 2009, we will continue to focus on the fundamentals of our business, which include reducing debt and spending, focusing on building cost-efficient customized logistics capabilities in Europe, exiting programs and/or countries that do not meet our ROIC and ROTC criteria and focusing on smartphones. I firmly believe that the successful performance in these focus areas will reduce our overall risk profile, enhance our balance sheet and build long term shareholder value."
"I am very pleased to say that we were able to reduce our daily average debt by another $117 million to a daily average of $216 million during the first quarter of 2009," said Tony Boor, Brightpoint's Chief Financial Officer. "We continued to make very good progress toward this initiative in the beginning of the second quarter with an average daily debt of $170 million for the month of April. We had previously announced a targeted reduction in average daily debt for 2009 of $100 to $150 million. Our success in the first quarter already puts us squarely within that targeted reduction range for the year. Therefore, I am revising our estimated debt reduction, and now anticipate having an average daily debt of less than $100 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. This represents an additional $116 million reduction in average daily debt compared to the first quarter of this year including the anticipated impact of normal seasonal increases in working capital and debt."
Please see the attached Schedules and the Brightpoint website at www.Brightpoint.com for an explanation and reconciled presentation of the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and on an as adjusted non-GAAP basis. The explanation includes the reasons why management believes such non-GAAP measures are useful both to management and investors. Any financial measure other than those prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, please see the attached Supplemental Information for a reconciliation of EBITDA.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
We have provided income from continuing operations and earnings per
share on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an as adjusted non-GAAP basis
because the Company's management believes it provides meaningful
information to investors. Among other things, it may assist investors
in evaluating the Company's on-going operations. Adjustments to
earnings per share from continuing operations generally include
certain non-cash charges such as stock based compensation and
amortization of acquired finite lived intangible assets as well as
other items that are considered to be unusual or infrequent in nature
such as goodwill impairment charges and restructuring charges.
Non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP income
from continuing operations by non-GAAP weighted average common shares
outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP earnings
per share, we add back certain shares presumed to be repurchased
under the U.S. GAAP treasury stock method related to stock based
compensation expense. We believe these non-GAAP disclosures provide
important supplemental information to management and investors
regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these
non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the
business and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation
targets for certain employees. Investors should consider non-GAAP
measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes
EBITDA provides it with an indicator of how much cash the
Company generates, excluding non-cash charges and any changes in
working capital. Management also reviews and utilizes the entire
statement of cash flows to evaluate cash flow performance.
Cash Conversion Cycle Days
Management utilizes the cash conversion cycle days metric and
its components to evaluate the Company's ability to manage its
working capital and its cash flow performance. Cash conversion
cycle days and its components for the quarters ending March 31,
2009 and 2008, and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

(1) Estimated income taxes were calculated by multiplying the sum of
operating income from continuing operations, the restructuring
charge and the goodwill impairment charge by an effective tax
rate of 35%, which represents an estimated, blended statutory
tax rate for the markets in which we operate.
(2) Average invested capital for quarterly periods represents the
simple average of the beginning and ending invested capital
amounts for the respective quarter. Average invested capital for
the trailing four quarters represents the simple average of the
invested capital amounts for the current and four prior quarter
period ends.
(3) ROIC is calculated by dividing operating income after taxes by
average invested capital. ROIC for quarterly periods is stated
on an annualized basis and is calculated by dividing operating
income after taxes by average invested capital and multiplying
the results by four.
We exclude unusual items such as restructuring charges from our
calculation of "Operating income after taxes" because we do not
believe such items are representative of expected future returns.
Therefore, we believe decisions to allocate resources should not be
influenced by such items.
Return on Tangible Capital ("ROTC")
Management uses Return on Tangible Capital, or ROTC, to provide a
measurement which can be consistently and fairly applied
internally to all operating entities to determine the
effectiveness of each entity's usage of tangible capital. ROTC
eliminates the influence of intangible assets balances, cash
transfer capabilities and income tax rates which vary amongst
Brightpoint operating entities and are not controllable by
operating entity management. ROTC indicates the return which can
be expected on the tangible capital consumed and replaced through
the normal business cycle. To calculate ROTC, operating income
from continuing operations is adjusted for restructuring charges,
goodwill impairment charge and amortization of intangible assets,
and this adjusted operating income is applied to average tangible
capital. Average tangible capital is calculated as total assets
less cash, investments, goodwill, and intangible assets, net of
current liabilities excluding short term borrowings. The details
of this measurement are outlined below.

simple average of the beginning and ending tangible capital
amounts for the respective quarter.
(2) ROTC is calculated by dividing operating income before
amortization and restructuring charges by average tangible
capital. ROTC for quarterly periods is stated on an annualized
basis and is calculated by dividing operating income before
amortization and restructuring charges by average tangible
capital and multiplying the results by four.
We anticipate improving our trailing four quarter ROTC to a range of
35%-40% as we increase operating income and better employ tangible
capital.
