STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated, the leading global audio and infotainment group (NYSE: HAR), today announced results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2012. HARMAN also announced today plans to launch an infotainment services business as well as restructuring initiatives to further reduce operating costs.
Dinesh C. Paliwal, the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO, said, “Our results during the second quarter did not meet our expectations. To enhance returns for our shareholders, we are taking the right steps to reduce costs, continue to drive innovation and expand our portfolio to achieve profitable growth. Economic headwinds and the slow-down in the automotive sector in Europe created a difficult operating environment for HARMAN during the second quarter, and we expect these conditions to continue for the first half of calendar year 2013. Despite these challenges, we will continue to aggressively execute on all four of our strategic pillars to strengthen the Company’s competitiveness over the long-term. Our fundamental strategy remains unchanged and with higher margin order backlog we continue to believe that Fiscal 2014 and 2015 will be strong years for HARMAN.”
Net sales for the second quarter were $1.056 billion, a decrease of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. In local currency, net sales decreased by 4 percent compared to the same period last year primarily as a result of the economic slow-down in Europe, which significantly impacted automotive production. Sales in the Professional Division were similarly affected by the recession in Europe, as well as by capital project delays during the quarter pending the outcome of presidential elections in the USA and China.
Second quarter operating income was $68 million, compared to $95 million in the same period last year. Excluding restructuring and non-recurring charges, operating profit in the second quarter was $57 million, compared to $96 million in the same period last year.
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.59 for the quarter compared to $0.83 in the same period last year. GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.68 for the quarter compared to $0.82 in the same period last year. During the second quarter, on a GAAP basis, the Company reduced its contingent consideration accrual related to the acquisition of MWM Acoustics, now known as HARMAN Embedded Audio LLC, by $12.5 million.

Summary of Operations – Gross Margin and SG&A
Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 130 basis points to 25.8 percent. The decline was primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume on fixed production costs.
SG&A and Other expense as a percentage of sales on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 190 basis points to 20.5 percent. This change was primarily related to lower sales volume on fixed costs.
Operational Restructuring to Improve Financial Results
HARMAN is implementing restructuring initiatives, which we expect will improve the Company’s operating performance. HARMAN will reduce approximately 500 jobs in high cost countries, resulting in annual operational savings of approximately $30-$35 million beginning in fiscal year 2014. The Company expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $30-35 million in the second half of fiscal year 2013.
The Company is also evaluating the sale or closure of a manufacturing site in Europe, which would reduce an additional 500 jobs.
"These restructuring efforts will allow HARMAN to reduce costs and compete more effectively," said Mr. Paliwal. "Rebalancing our workforce is a difficult, but necessary, step that HARMAN is implementing to deliver improved financial results through the European economic and automotive cycle recovery."
Launching of Infotainment Services
The Company today announced it will launch HARMAN Infotainment Services that will leverage the installed base of over 15 million HARMAN infotainment-equipped vehicles on the road today to create a fast growing, recurring revenue stream with high margins.
OEMs and car owners are seeking to keep their vehicle infotainment systems current and connected. HARMAN Infotainment Services will offer 4G/LTE connected head-unit upgrades for vehicles currently on the road; cloud-based services to the car (such as Aha by HARMAN); and customer relationship management (CRM) services for automakers using vehicle-specific aggregated data.
“The launch of our Infotainment Services business will create a new revenue stream less dependent on automotive production cycles and drive consistent revenue with two to three times higher margins than the current Infotainment systems business,” said Mr. Paliwal.
The Company expects service business to grow fivefold within the next five years from current levels of approximately $100 million.
2013 Outlook
HARMAN today provided an updated outlook regarding its financial targets for fiscal 2013. In light of lower European automotive production volumes and a weaker global economic climate, the Company now forecasts global revenue between $4.175 billion and $4.250 billion and operational earnings per share between $2.70 and $2.90. Details by division are provided below.

Net sales in the second quarter were $540 million, a decrease of 10 percent. In local currency, net sales decreased by 7 percent primarily reflecting lower European automotive production volumes due to the lower demand in Western Europe. In light of declining economic conditions, several European OEMs extended their holiday shut downs.
Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter decreased 230 basis points to 20.9 percent primarily due to reduced leverage of fixed costs on lower sales. Although the Division’s SG&A spending decreased modestly during the quarter, as a percentage of sales however, SG&A and Other increased 60 basis points to 15.5%.
Infotainment Division Highlights
The new HARMAN infotainment system for BMW premiered this month in the US and will be available onboard a wide range of BMW models, including the 7-, 5-, and 3- series vehicles. In addition, the scalable MMI Navigation Plus Platform that the Company developed for Audi has now been expanded to several Volkswagen models.
The Company is also addressing a new market segment with the new HARMAN connected radio platform, part of the Company’s expanded Infotainment portfolio. The platform targets the entry-level segment and for about the same cost as a basic radio, an automaker can add smart-phone connectivity with HARMAN’s Aha radio, turn-by-turn navigation and voice prompts into their vehicles, as well as meet fast development cycles and delivery.
At CES, the Company expanded its scalable infotainment platform with an Android-based, open source application environment. The platform leverages smart-phone functionality to safely bring car centric apps and services into the car. Also at CES, the Company showcased its vision for the future premium infotainment platform. Feature highlights included an interactive heads-up display combined with smart phone connectivity, augmented navigation, gesture control, high speed networking, and driver assist features.
The Aha by HARMAN platform continues to gain traction. Ten leading automakers from Asia, Europe and America will offer Aha by HARMAN before the end of 2013. The Aha service uses the HARMAN Cloud Platform to safely enable Web-based information and entertainment in vehicles in a radio-like format familiar to drivers.
As noted earlier, the Company announced the creation of HARMAN Infotainment Services that will leverage the installed base of over 15 million HARMAN infotainment equipped vehicles on the road today to create a fast growing, recurring revenue stream with high margins.

Net sales in the second quarter were $372 million, an increase of 1 percent. In local currency sales increased 3 percent, primarily driven by robust demand for HARMAN’s new home and multimedia products. The car audio business was negatively impacted by lower European production volumes due to lower demand in Western Europe. The political clash between China and Japan also had a negative effect on expected sales for the quarter. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter declined 160 basis points to 27.8 percent primarily due to the change in product mix.
SG&A and Other expense as a percentage of sales, on a non-GAAP basis, in the second quarter increased 140 basis points to 17.3 percent. The SG&A increase was primarily driven by increased R&D investment to accelerate the development of a scalable car audio solution and the impact of a non-recurring $4 million earthquake/tsunami-related business interruption insurance settlement recorded in the prior year.
Lifestyle Division Highlights
In car audio, HARMAN secured four awards from existing customers such as Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru. BMW also selected HARMAN’s HALOsonic solution for its next generation cross-car line noise cancellation and engine sound generation solution.
The Company launched a number of new systems this quarter including its first Bowers & Wilkins system, under a brand license, on the all-new Maserati Quattroporte, and new Harman Kardon systems for the all-new BMW 4 series, Mini Paceman, and Mercedes A-Class. HARMAN also launched a new JBL system for the all-new Toyota RAV4 and new Infinity systems for the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Cadenza.
At CES, the Company introduced QuantumLogic 3D, a powerful new technology that brings an unmatched three dimensional surround sound experience to in-car audio. Built on HARMAN’s patented QLS digital signal processing technology, QuantumLogic 3D uses proprietary algorithms to add the dimension of height inside the car for an immersive listening experience while maintaining the integrity of the original recording.
HARMAN continued to build momentum with its home and multimedia products. HARMAN received twenty Design and Innovation Awards, including eight CES Innovation awards, eight iF Design awards in Germany, and four Red Star awards in China.
JBL was the first brand in the world to ship iPhone 5 Docking Stations in mass volumes. JBL shipped approximately 250,000 iPhone 5 docking stations to global customers in the first two months following the launch.

Net sales in the second quarter were $144 million, a decrease of 9 percent. In local currency sales decreased 8 percent primarily due to capital project delays pending the outcome of presidential elections in the United States and China and because of the economic slowdown in Europe. Also, to a lesser extent, Hurricane Sandy caused a short-term delay related to certain capital projects in the Northeast. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter increased 220 basis points primarily as a result of improved profitability of new product introductions. SG&A and Other expense on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter increased 330 basis points to 25.5 percent due to lower sales volume.
Professional Division Highlights
The Professional Division continued its success in touring during the second quarter with the global market embracing the award winning JBL VTX Line Array powered by the Crown HD4 amplifier. HARMAN maintained sector leadership with sound reinforcement for several high profile events, including the 12-12-12 Sandy Relief benefit concert at Madison Square Garden.
The Company’s focus on the transportation vertical market continues to pay dividends, particularly in the emerging markets. HARMAN’s IDX integrated audio and visual information delivery system will be going into the Dandong airport in China and the Bangalore International airport in India.
The Company’s success in the global markets continued during the quarter, with new wins in Brazil for two additional FIFA World Cup stadiums. Other installations in the quarter included the Clemson Memorial Stadium in South Carolina, the Rose Bowl in California, and Penn State University Stadium.
