Sensata Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

ALMELO, the Netherlands, July 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST ) today announced financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Revenue for the second quarter 2016 was $827.5 million, an increase of $57.1 million, or 7.4%, from $770.4 million for the second quarter of 2015. Excluding an 8.5 percent positive effect from acquisitions, net of exited businesses, and a 1.2 percent negative effect from changes in foreign exchange rates, Sensata reported flat organic revenue growth in the second quarter of 2016.

Net income for the second quarter 2016 was $65.5 million, which was 7.9% of revenue, or $0.38 per diluted share. This compares to net income for the second quarter 2015 of $40.9 million, which was 5.3% of revenue or $0.24 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the second quarter 2016 was $124.3 million which was 15.0% of revenue or $0.73 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $124.6 million which was 16.2% of revenue, or $0.73 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015. 

On a sequential basis, Sensata's adjusted net income margin of 15.0% for the second quarter increased by 80 basis points compared to an adjusted net income margin of 14.2% in the first quarter of 2016.   A definition of non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,624.1 million, an increase of $103.0 million, or 6.8% from $1,521.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding an 8.7 percent positive effect from acquisitions, net of exited businesses, and a 1.6 percent negative effect from changes in foreign exchange rates, Sensata reported flat organic revenue growth in the first six months of 2016.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $126.1 million, which was 7.8% of revenue, or $0.74 per diluted share. This compares to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $76.3 million, which was 5.0% of revenue, or $0.44 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $237.5 million which was 14.6% of revenue, or $1.39 per diluted share.  This was an increase of 0.9% compared to adjusted net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $235.4 million which was 15.5% of revenue, or $1.37 per diluted share.

"Sensata delivered steady sequential margin expansion and earnings growth in the face of currency headwinds and a challenging market," said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also generated strong cash flow, which enabled us to further pay down our revolver debt and improve our leverage position.  As we look ahead to the remainder of the year, we believe we can continue to improve our margins and further strengthen our balance sheet."

Sensata’s ending cash balance at June 30, 2016 was $309.1 million. During the first six months of 2016, the Company generated operating cash flow of $246.6 million and free cash flow of $182.2 million. The Company’s total gross indebtedness at June 30, 2016 was $3.5 billion, a reduction of $168.1 million from December 31, 2015 as a result of debt repayment.

Sensata anticipates net revenue of $770 to $810 million for the third quarter 2016 as compared to third quarter 2015 net revenue of $727 million. In addition, the Company expects adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter 2016 to be between $0.70 and $0.76. This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 171.6 million for the third quarter 2016.

For the full year 2016, the Company anticipates net revenue of $3.17 to $3.25 billion which, at the midpoint, represents growth of 7.9% compared to the full year 2015 net revenue of $2.98 billion. In addition, the Company expects adjusted net income of $480 million to $505 million, or $2.80 to $2.94 per diluted share for the full year 2016. At the midpoint, this represents 4% growth compared to full year 2015 adjusted net income per diluted share of $2.75. This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 171.5 million for the full year 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures referenced by Sensata in this press release are organic revenue growth; adjusted net income; adjusted net income margin; adjusted earnings per diluted share; and free cash flow.  Organic revenue growth is defined as the percentage change in net revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of acquisitions, exited businesses, and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 

Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in the accompanying reconciliation tables.  Adjusted net income margin is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by net revenue.  Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the number of diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding in the period.  We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures as they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding our quarterly and annual performance.  We regularly use non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make operating decisions.  We also measure our employees and compensate them, in part, based on such non-GAAP measures.  For the same reasons, we also use this information for our forecasting activities.

The following unaudited table reconciles the Company’s net income to adjusted net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Amortization of deferred financing costs   1,834     1,578     3,678     3,231  
Total adjustments   $ 58,809     $ 83,675     $ 111,423     $ 159,176  
Adjusted net income   $ 124,319     $ 124,575     $ 237,545     $ 235,431  
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding   171,343     171,667     171,299     171,464  
Adjusted net income per diluted share   $ 0.73     $ 0.73     $ 1.39     $ 1.37  

The Company’s definition of adjusted net income excludes the deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes and other tax expense/(benefit). The Company’s deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes includes adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and goodwill, utilization of net operating losses and adjustments to our U.S. valuation allowance in connection with certain acquisitions.  Other tax expense/(benefit) includes certain adjustments to unrecognized tax positions.

As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense/(benefit) as an adjustment to compute adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items, above, would not change adjusted net income for any period presented.

The current income tax (benefit)/expense associated with the reconciling items above, which is included in adjusted net income, would be as follows: Depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets and inventory: ($0.0) million and $(0.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and ($0.1) million and ($0.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively; and Restructuring and special charges: ($0.3) million and ($1.0) million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and ($0.3) million and ($1.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
