NM – Not meaningful

(1) “Core” financial measures reflect the results of the CCS, NICS, OWN and ANS segments, in the aggregate, and exclude the results of the Home segment. See the third quarter segment comparison tables below showing the aggregation of the Core financial measures.

(2) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Adjusted Measures” below.

“In the third quarter, CommScope net sales declined 33% from the prior year to $1.600 billion and adjusted EBITDA declined 28% to $249 million. As discussed previously, our CCS and OWN businesses have been experiencing lower order rates since the beginning of the year and we have seen no meaningful recovery in the third quarter. In addition to the challenges we have been experiencing in CCS and OWN, we have started to see similar adjustments in ANS. We expect these difficult market conditions to continue over the next few quarters as customers manage inventories and cash. We continue to manage what we can control including costs. We are targeting an additional $100 million cost savings by the end of Q1 2024. Our cost actions this year will better position the Company when demand returns to more normalized levels,” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Based on current visibility driven by a weaker demand outlook for the remainder of 2023, we reduced our Core adjusted EBITDA guideposts to a range of $1.00 to $1.05 billion. We continued to de-lever as we repurchased and retired $26 million of our long-term debt for cash consideration of $17 million bringing the total debt repurchases to $111 million since the beginning of the year. We finished the quarter with a net leverage ratio of 6.7x. Liquidity remained strong at more than $1.29 billion including cash at quarter end of $519 million,” said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer.

Impacts of Current Economic Conditions

Macroeconomic factors such as higher interest rates, inflation and concerns about a global economic slow-down have softened demand for CommScope’s products, with certain customers reducing purchases as they right-size their inventories and others pausing capital spending. This has negatively impacted the Company’s net sales in certain segments during the first three quarters of 2023 and may continue to negatively impact net sales during the remainder of 2023 and into the first half of 2024. Conversely, in some of CommScope’s segments, the Company has seen higher demand and favorable pricing impacts that have partially offset the impact of lower demand in its other segments. CommScope is also seeing lower input costs and has proactively implemented cost savings initiatives that have favorably impacted its profitability in 2023.

Third Quarter Results and Comparisons

Net sales in the third quarter of 2023 decreased 32.8% year-over-year to $1.600 billion. Core net sales decreased 32.2% year-over-year due to lower net sales in the CCS, OWN and ANS segments, partially offset by stronger sales in the NICS segment. Net sales decreased across all regions in the third quarter of 2023.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $844.2 million, or $(3.98) per share, in the third quarter of 2023, decreased compared to the prior year period's net income attributable to common stockholders of $8.0 million, or $0.04 per share. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $425.9 million related to the ANS reporting unit in the ANS segment and an intangible assets impairment charge of $469.2 million related to the Home segment. Asset impairment charges are not reflected in non-GAAP adjusted results. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $34.0 million, or $0.13 per share, versus $124.6 million, or $0.50 per share, in the third quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 28.5% to $248.6 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 15.5% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 14.6% in the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA decreased 30.4% to $245.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.2% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 17.7% in the same prior year period.

Reconciliations of the reported GAAP results to non-GAAP adjusted results are included below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. CommScope management further believes that these financial measures are useful in assessing CommScope’s operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. CommScope management also uses certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring CommScope’s performance relative to that of its competitors. CommScope management believes these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate CommScope’s performance and that of its competitors. However, CommScope’s use of certain non-GAAP terms may vary from that of others in its industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity. A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures discussed herein to their most comparable GAAP measures is below.

Core Measures

CommScope believes that presenting Core financial measures enhances the investor’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core businesses. Core financial measures are the aggregate of the CCS, NICS, OWN and ANS segments. They do not include the results of the Home segment. The Core segments and the Home segment represent the business segments as currently managed and reported by CommScope. Future results and the composition of any business divested in the future may vary and differ materially from the presentation of the Core financial measures.

(3) The tax rates applied to adjustments reflect the tax expense or benefit based on the tax jurisdiction of the entity generating the adjustment. There are certain items for which we expect little or no tax effect.

 

(4) For all periods presented, GAAP EPS was calculated using net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in the numerator, which includes the impact of the Series A convertible preferred stock dividend.

 

(5) Diluted shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS are 253.7 million and 250.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 253.0 million and 248.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
