Ingram Micro Reports Record Revenues and Profits for 2018 Fiscal Year

Annual sales exceed $50 billion for the first time, led by strong growth across all lines of business

IRVINE, Calif.--()--Ingram Micro Inc. today announced financial results for the 2018 fiscal year ended Dec. 29, 2018. Ingram Micro delivered record revenues and profits for the year, benefiting from growth across all lines of business and strong global demand. Worldwide 2018 fiscal year sales were $50.4 billion, an increase of $3.8 billion, or 8 percent in USD. 2018 fiscal year gross profit increased by $230 million to $3.2 billion, with gross margin of 6.30 percent. This compares to sales of $46.7 billion, gross profit of $2.9 billion and gross margin of 6.32 percent for the 2017 fiscal year. 2018 fiscal year non-GAAP operating income increased by more than $100 million to $730 million, or 1.46 percent of revenue, and non-GAAP net income for the 2018 fiscal year was up $80 million to $460 million. This compares to 2017 fiscal year non-GAAP operating income of $620 million, or 1.33 percent of revenue, and non-GAAP net income of $380 million. 2018 fiscal year GAAP operating income and net income were $550 million, or 1.09 percent of revenue, and $350 million, respectively, including: the pre-tax negative impact of $90 million in amortization expense and the pre-tax negative impact of $90 million in restructuring, acquisition and transition costs primarily related to a global reorganization program executed during the first quarter of 2018. This compares to 2017 fiscal year GAAP operating income and net income of $410 million, or 0.88 percent of revenue, and $200 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In addition to GAAP results, Ingram Micro is reporting non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended Dec. 29, 2018. These non-GAAP measures exclude charges associated with reorganization, acquisitions, integration and transition costs, including those associated with the company’s cost savings programs, and the amortization of intangible assets. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude a gain on the sale of affiliates. Non-GAAP net income also excludes the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses related to the translation effect on Euro-based inventory purchases in Ingram Micro’s pan-European entity. 2018 fiscal year non-GAAP net income excludes non-cash tax benefits primarily related to the intercompany sale of certain intangible assets and the impact on U.S. tax reform repatriation tax, as well as additional tax expense on the write-off of net operating loss carryforward of a subsidiary and tax expense related to the foreign currency exchange gain of another subsidiary. 2017 fiscal year non-GAAP operating income further excludes merger costs and loss on sale of affiliates and 2017 non-GAAP net income also excludes a non-cash tax benefit primarily related to the reversal of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in Australia and an additional tax expense related to the impact of the US tax reform. The non-GAAP measures noted above are primary indicators that Ingram Micro’s management uses internally to conduct and measure its business and evaluate the performance of its consolidated operations and operating segments. Ingram Micro’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and an alternate view of the impact of acquired businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Ingram Micro’s business. A material limitation associated with these non-GAAP measures as compared to the GAAP measures is that they may not be comparable to other companies with similarly titled items that present related measures differently. The non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented is attached to this press release.
