Q3 Financial Results Above the High End of Projections
MCE Revenue Up Over 70 Percent Sequentially
Revenue from Chinese OEMs Doubles from Year Ago Period
ITASCA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2016--
Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN), a market leader and global supplier of
advanced micro-acoustic, audio processing, and specialty component
solutions, today announced results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2016.
“Q3 revenue and earnings were above the high end of our guidance range,”
said Jeffrey Niew, president and CEO of Knowles. “In our mobile consumer
electronics segment, sales were up over 70 percent sequentially driven
by stronger than anticipated demand from a North American OEM and
continued strength from Chinese OEMs. Revenue from our specialty
components segment was lower due to delays with a customer’s new product
introduction and weaker capacitor sales. Higher sales volume in MCE
combined with our continued reductions in operating expenses across the
company resulted in EPS that was above the high end of our projected
range.”
“As we look to Q4 and 2017, we will continue to leverage our acoustics
capabilities and focus on emerging audio solutions that we expect will
drive long term profitable growth, particularly in handsets, wearables
and IoT devices. We believe these key applications will serve as
platforms for growth as we drive multi mic adoption, increase content
per device and expand into new markets,” continued Niew.

* Continuing operations excludes the results of our speaker and receiver
product line which was sold on July 7, 2016.
** Current period results include $5.6 million from amortization of
intangibles, $5.2 million in stock-based compensation, $2.1 million in
restructuring charges, and $0.4 million in production transfer costs.
*** Not Meaningful
In addition to the GAAP results included in this press release, Knowles
has presented supplemental non-GAAP gross profit, earnings before
interest and income taxes, adjusted earnings before interest and income
taxes, non-GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share, as well as other
metrics on a non-GAAP basis that exclude certain amounts that are
included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure to facilitate
evaluation of Knowles’ operating performance. Non-GAAP results are not
presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP information should be
considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP
financial measures included in this press release do not have standard
meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures
used by other companies. Knowles uses non-GAAP measures as supplements
to its GAAP results of operations in evaluating certain aspects of its
business, and its executive management team focuses on non-GAAP items as
key measures of Knowles’ performance for business planning purposes.
These measures assist Knowles in comparing its performance between
various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures
remove from operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles’
opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for
example, stock-based compensation, certain intangibles amortization
expense, fixed asset impairment charges, restructuring, production
transfer costs, and other charges which management considers to be
outside our core operating results. Knowles believes that its
presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it
provides investors and securities analysts with the same information
that Knowles uses internally for purposes of assessing its core
operating performance. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see
the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

Notes:
|
|
|
|
(1) In addition to the GAAP financial measures included
herein, Knowles has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures.
Knowles uses non-GAAP measures as supplements to its GAAP results of
operations in evaluating certain aspects of its business, and its
executive management team focus on non-GAAP items as key measures of
Knowles' performance for business planning purposes. These measures
assist Knowles in comparing its performance between various
reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove
from operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles'
opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance. Knowles
believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is
useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with
the same information that Knowles uses internally for purposes of
assessing its core operating performance.
|
|
|
|
(2) Production transfer costs represent duplicate costs incurred to
migrate manufacturing to new or existing facilities in Asia. These
amounts are included in the corresponding Gross profit, Selling and
administrative expenses, Operating expenses and Earnings (loss) from
continuing operations before interest and income taxes for each
period presented.
|
|
|
|
(3) Other primarily represents expenses related to the
Audience acquisition.
|
|
|
|
(4) In the second quarter of 2016, Other loss (gain)
primarily represents a gain on the sale of investment related to a
non-controlling interest in a MEMS timing device company partially
offset by expenses related to the Audience acquisition. In 2015,
Other loss (gain) represents expenses related to the Audience
acquisition.
|
|
|
|
(5) Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion are
required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and
equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner
that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.
Accordingly, for GAAP purposes we are required to recognize imputed
interest expense on the Company’s $172.5 million of convertible
senior notes due 2021 that were issued in a private placement in May
2016. The imputed interest rate was 8.12% for the convertible notes
due 2021, while the actual coupon interest rate of the notes was
3.25%. The difference between the imputed interest expense and the
coupon interest expense is excluded from management’s assessment of
the Company’s operating performance because management believes that
this non-cash expense is not indicative of its core, ongoing
operating performance.
|
|
|
|
(6) The Non-GAAP reconciling adjustments are those
adjustments made to reconcile Earnings (loss) from continuing
operations before interest and income taxes to Adjusted earnings
from continuing operations before interest and income taxes.
|
|
|
|
(7) The number of shares used in the diluted per share
calculations on a non-GAAP basis excludes the impact of stock-based
compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods and
not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would
otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP
treasury stock method.
