Insight Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:NSIT) (the “Company”) today reported results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, consolidated net sales were $1.17 billion, down 4% year over year, as an increase in net sales in the Company’s North America segment was offset by lower sales reported in EMEA and APAC.  Gross profit of $161.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 was flat year to year in U.S. dollars despite the top-line decline due to improved gross margin performance in EMEA and APAC.  Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased 4% to $146.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, reflecting investments across the business, most notably in the Company’s North America operating segment.  As a result, earnings from operations decreased year to year to $15.0 million and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.21 compared to $0.29 reported in the first quarter of 2015, excluding severance and restructuring expenses.  The Company recorded $1.4 million in severance and restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2016, primarily in its North America business, compared to $723,000 last year.  On a GAAP basis, earnings from operations decreased to $13.6 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.18 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.27 reported last year.

“Overall for the quarter, our EMEA and Asia Pacific businesses delivered strong earnings growth year over year,” stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Our North America business has not met our profitability expectations in recent quarters.  This has been related to a combination of a higher percentage of large and public sector clients as well as a shift in product mix resulting in lower data center sales.  This could be somewhat cyclical, but market data suggests softer demand for data center solutions, and we are cautious about recovery in our product mix over the balance of this year,” added Lamneck.

“We continue to be excited about our potential in North America but believed that we needed to take action to support our long-term profitable growth,” stated Lamneck.  “To that end, we recently concluded several cost reduction initiatives across our U.S. business that will allow us to better align our cost structure with current gross profit performance.  Annualized savings from these actions are expected to be approximately $20 million beginning in May of 2016,” Lamneck concluded. 

  • Consolidated net sales of $1.17 billion for the first quarter of 2016 decreased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2015, down 3% year to year excluding the effects of foreign currency movements.
    • Net sales in North America of $826.9 million were up 1% year over year;
    • Net sales in EMEA of $303.4 million decreased 15% year to year, down 11% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements; and
    • Net sales in APAC of $38.7 million decreased 8% year to year, down 3% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. 
  • Consolidated gross profit of $161.1 million was relatively flat compared to the first quarter of 2015, but increased 1% year over year excluding the effects of foreign currency movements.  Consolidated gross margin increased approximately 50 basis points to 13.8% of net sales.
    • Gross profit in North America of $111.7 million (13.5% gross margin) was flat year over year, and increased 1% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements;
    • Gross profit in EMEA of $43.4 million (14.3% gross margin) decreased 3% year to year, but was up 1% year over year excluding the effects of foreign currency movements; and
    • Gross profit in APAC of $5.9 million (15.3% gross margin) increased 8% year over year, up 14% year over year excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. 
  • Consolidated earnings from operations decreased 33% compared to the first quarter of 2015 to $13.6 million, or 1.2% of net sales.  Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, the decrease in consolidated earnings from operations was 32% year to year.
    • Earnings from operations in North America decreased 44% year to year to $10.5 million, or 1.3% of net sales;
    • Earnings from operations in EMEA increased 57% year over year to $2.7 million, or 0.9% of net sales, up 54% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements; and
    • Earnings from operations in APAC increased to $425,000, or 1.1% of net sales. 
  • Non-GAAP consolidated earnings from operations, which excludes severance and restructuring expenses in both periods, decreased 29% year to year to $15.0 million, or 1.3% of net sales for the first quarter of 2016.* 
  • Consolidated net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2016 were $6.9 million and $0.18, respectively, at an effective tax rate of 38.2%. 
  • Non-GAAP consolidated net earnings and diluted earnings per share, which exclude severance and restructuring expenses and the tax effect of these charges in both periods, were $7.7 million and $0.21, respectively, for the first quarter of 2016.* 
  • The Company repurchased approximately 505,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $13.5 million during the first quarter of 2016.

* A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

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 foreign currency movements.  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.

Net of tax 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 2016, the Company continues to expect its business to deliver top-line growth in the low-to-mid single digit range in U.S. dollar terms.  The Company also continues to expect diluted earnings per share for the full year 2016 to be between $2.25 and $2.35. 

This outlook reflects:

  • The adverse effect on gross profit of previously announced partner program changes in the software category, which the Company expects to be between $5 and $10 million;
  • The positive effect on selling and administrative expenses of recent cost reduction initiatives in North America, which the Company expects to be approximately $13 to $15 million over the balance of 2016;
  • an effective tax rate of approximately 37% - 38%;
  • the completion of the balance of the Company’s share repurchase program of $37 million, leading to an average share count of approximately 37 million shares for the year; and
  • capital expenditures of $10 to $15 million.

This outlook excludes severance and restructuring expenses incurred during the year.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST

The Company will host a conference call and live webcast today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss first quarter 2016 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://nsit.client.shareholder.com/events.cfm, 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 1-877-402-8904 if located in the U.S., 678-809-1029 for international callers, and enter the access code 87781634.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude severance and restructuring expenses and the tax effect of these charges.  The Company excludes these charges 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.  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.
