First Quarter Results and Comparison

For comparisons described below as a combined company, the first quarter of 2019 includes historical ARRIS results (with certain classification changes to align to CommScope’s presentation). Reconciliations of the combined company amounts and reported GAAP results to non-GAAP adjusted segment results are included below.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2020 increased 84.9% year over year to $2.03 billion primarily due to the contribution of $1.03 billion from the ARRIS acquisition. On a combined company basis, net sales decreased 18.0% year over year to $2.03 billion. The company estimates that first-quarter 2020 net sales were negatively impacted by approximately $70 million related to supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19, as well as certain other COVID-19 related disruptions.

CommScope generated a net loss of $(159.9) million, or $(0.89) per basic share, in the first quarter, a decrease from the prior year period's net loss of $(2.3) million, or $(0.01) per basic share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first quarter was $27.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, versus $93.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased 10.9% to $231.2 million as compared to last year. On a combined company basis, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 21.4% and was 11.4% of net sales compared to 11.9% of net sales in the first quarter of 2019. The company estimates that first-quarter 2020 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by approximately $30 million related to supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19, as well as certain other COVID-19 related disruptions.

Outlook

Due to the evolving and significant uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, CommScope is withdrawing its full-year 2020 outlook.

While the Company is not providing specific guidance for the second quarter, the Company expects its second quarter sales and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to improve modestly compared to the first quarter.

“Given the dynamic nature and unprecedented situation, we are taking decisive actions to strengthen our financial position and prudently manage our balance sheet. These actions include adjusting our operating plan to reduce costs and capital expenditures and drawing $250 million on our ABL revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility,” said Alex Pease, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “While our business to date has proven to be remarkably resilient and we have seen extremely strong order rates across certain critical segments, we are acutely aware of the strains on the global economy and the impact that could have on many of our customers, particularly in the enterprise space. Due to this ongoing market uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not providing specific guidance for the second quarter of 2020 and we are withdrawing our full year outlook. However, we do expect our second quarter sales and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to improve modestly compared to the first quarter.”

Pease continued, “We are monitoring the situation closely and remain in close contact with our business partners and customers. Never has it been more apparent how critical our products are to support the networks of the future, enabling remote working, and keeping people around the world connected. We continue to enable and deliver the broadband connectivity that is essential to a wide array of the functions crucial to our digital society and are committed to creating long-term value for shareholders.”

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 the terms combined company net sales, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, combined company non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share, and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow may vary from that of others in its industry. These 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.

(5) The Company’s definition of non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS is non-GAAP adjusted net income, excluding the Series A convertible preferred stock dividend, divided by weighted average shares outstanding assuming the if-converted method, which reflects the conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock.
