PLAINFIELD, Ind., Nov 4, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Brightpoint, Inc. (Nasdaq:CELL) reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Unless otherwise noted, amounts pertain to the third quarter of 2008.
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2008:
Because of the acquisition of Dangaard Telecom on July 31, 2007, the Company believes that it is meaningful to compare financial results for the third quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2008 as well as to the third quarter of 2007.
The consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented reflect the reclassification of the results of operations of the Company's locally branded PC notebook business in Slovakia to discontinued operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This is a result of the Company's decision to exit that business. Please see Brightpoint Inc.'s website at www.Brightpoint.com for quarterly statements of operations for all periods that have been reclassified.
Revenue was $1.2 billion for the third quarter of 2008, which was flat compared to the second quarter of 2008 and an increase of 4% from the third quarter of 2007.
Income from continuing operations was $6.0 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $2.6 million or $0.03 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 and $13.0 million or $0.18 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2007. Weighted average common shares outstanding (diluted) were 81.3 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 81.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 and 71.1 million for the third quarter of 2007.
Adjusted income from continuing operations (non-GAAP) was $10.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share compared to $9.6 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 and $15.6 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2007. Please see the disclosure below regarding adjusted income from continuing operations. Adjustments to income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2008 include:
-- A $0.9 million restructuring charge (pre-tax) consisting
primarily of a $0.2 million charge related to the sale of certain
assets in Colombia as well as $0.7 million of restructuring
charges associated with the previously announced realignment of
our European operations
-- $4.6 million (pre-tax) of non-cash amortization expense related
to acquired intangible assets.
-- $1.6 million (pre-tax) of non-cash stock based compensation
expense.
Total debt was $185.5 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $243.8 million at June 30, 2008 and $460.9 million at December 31, 2007. Total debt as of September 30, 2008 is lower than the previously announced debt target of $200 million set for December 31, 2008. Total liquidity (unrestricted cash and unused borrowing availability) was $455.5 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $456.5 million at June 30, 2008 and $232.0 million at December 31, 2007.
Cash provided by operating activities was $53.0 million and $312.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Cash provided by operating activities was used to pay down borrowings by approximately $46.0 million since June 30, 2008, bringing the total debt reduction to approximately $281.0 million since December 31, 2007.
EBITDA was $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2007.
We handled 20.3 million wireless devices for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 19.9 million for the second quarter of 2008 and 22.0 million for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of approximately 2% from the second quarter of 2008 and a decrease of 8% from the third quarter of 2007. The sale of certain assets in Colombia resulted in approximately 0.9 million fewer units handled in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007.
Gross margin was 7.2% for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points from the second quarter of 2008 and an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the third quarter of 2007.
SG&A expenses were $63.5 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $7.6 million or 11% compared to the second quarter of 2008 and an increase of $12.2 million or 24% compared to the third quarter of 2007. SG&A expenses increased compared to the third quarter of 2007 primarily because of the acquisition of Dangaard Telecom. SG&A expenses decreased compared to the second quarter of 2008 because of the positive impact of our cost reduction initiatives. SG&A expenses as a percent of revenue were 5.2% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 5.9% for the second quarter of 2008 and 4.4% for the third quarter of 2007.
Interest expense, net was $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2007. Interest expense, net decreased because of the positive impact of our debt reduction initiatives.
The effective tax rate was 48.2% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 18.5% for the third quarter of 2007. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to an unfavorable mix of income. The mix of income has shifted toward higher tax jurisdictions for which the negative impact of adjusting for our revised estimated annual tax rate for the year is reflected in the third quarter of 2008. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2007 included a $2.1 million tax benefit resulting from a reduction in the statutory tax rate in Germany.
FOR THE 2008 FISCAL YEAR, MANAGEMENT CURRENTLY EXPECTS:
-- Units handled to be between 85 million to 90 million units, a
reduction from the previously disclosed range of approximately 90
million to 95 million units, as a result of many macro economic
events and general weakness in the European and U.S. wireless
markets.
-- Adjusted (non-GAAP) SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of 2008
is expected to be relatively flat compared to adjusted (non-GAAP)
SG&A expense for the third quarter of 2008 of $61.9 million.
-- Annual effective tax rate from 32% to 35%.
-- Non-GAAP weighted average common shares outstanding (diluted) of
approximately 82.5 million.
Please see the following Schedules and the Brightpoint website at www.Brightpoint.com for an explanation and reconciled presentation of the results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and on an as adjusted non-GAAP basis. The explanation includes the reasons why management believes such non-GAAP measures are useful both to management and investors. Any financial measure other than those prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, please see the following Supplemental Information for a reconciliation of EBITDA.
"Despite the challenging macro economic factors affecting all industries, our industry-leading low cost business model, global market position and strong balance sheet are resulting in many new opportunities with the leading companies in the wireless space. While our visibility into the overall wireless handset shipments for the global wireless device industry remains good, we however, in the future, will no longer provide an industry outlook for overall wireless handset shipments. These estimates are widely available from various reliable sources. I believe that based on increasing opportunities in wireless distribution and customized logistics with manufacturers, network operators, MVNOs, and retailers on a global basis, we will grow faster than the wireless handset industry in terms of units handled. We remain focused on growing our earnings per share and achieving an annual ROIC target of approximately 15%," said Robert J. Laikin, Brightpoint's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect to continue to generate positive operating cash flow, execute on our previously announced realignment of our European operations and realize annualized cost savings of $25 million to $30 million, align with the leading manufacturers in the converged Smartphone space, (both hardware and software) and with new entrants in the global wireless market, and continue to look for ways to drive costs out of our already low cost distribution and customized logistics business model. I am proud of our employees' ability to focus and deliver positive results in the third quarter of 2008."
"I am pleased with our cash flows from operations and working capital improvements during the third quarter," said Tony Boor, Brightpoint's Chief Financial Officer. "We generated over $53 million of cash flows from operations, which allowed us to reduce our debt balances by more than $46 million by the end of the quarter. As of the end of the third quarter, virtually all of our remaining debt was term debt that requires no additional principal payments in the fourth quarter. Cash flows from operations came primarily from lowering our inventory levels by $72 million and from improving the overall aging of our inventories. These improvements in inventory in the quarter combined with other improvements in working capital helped us lower our cash conversion cycle to an industry leading ten days."
UPDATE ON PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED REALIGNMENT OF EUROPEAN OPERATIONS
On June 30, 2008 the Company announced that as part of the natural progression of the Dangaard integration process, it was realigning its European operations in an effort to streamline its business processes and optimize its business model. The Company believes that these efforts, and the resultant cost reductions and operational efficiencies, will help produce additional synergies for the Company. The Company incurred restructuring costs of $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2008 related to these initiatives. Approximately $13.7 million of the total restructuring costs were directly related to the Dangaard Telecom acquisition and thus resulted in additional goodwill recorded in purchase accounting. The remaining $0.9 million of restructuring costs incurred during the third quarter of 2008 were not directly related to the Dangaard Telecom acquisition and thus are included as "restructuring charge" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
These cost reduction initiatives, which will be fully implemented by the end of 2008, are expected to result in approximately $12 million to $14 million in spending reductions for the second half of 2008 and $25 million to $30 million in annualized spending reductions. Some of these spending reductions will be realized within SG&A and some will be realized within gross profit. As of the end of the third quarter of 2008, we are on-track to realize the previously announced spending reductions of $12 million to $14 million for the second half of 2008. We will also continue to focus on other spending reduction opportunities and operational efficiencies in an effort to achieve desired operating margins.
In October 2008 the Company reached an agreement with the landlord of its European headquarters to terminate the building's lease. The Company will record a charge of approximately $3.0 million to $3.5 million related to the termination of this lease in its results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2008.

These risk factors include, without limitation, uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments, including, without limitation, (i) loss of significant customers or a reduction in prices we charge these customers as a result of consolidation of mobile phone operators, including Dobson Communications Corporation, Suncom and Rural Cellular Corporation, which were recently acquired or Alltel, which has announced plans to be acquired; (ii) our obligations under certain debt, lease and other contractual arrangements; (iii) dependence upon principal suppliers and availability and price of wireless products including the risk of consolidation of these suppliers; (iv) our ability to borrow additional funds, including the viability of the banks participating in our credit facilities that might impact their ability to provide additional funds; (v) collection of our accounts receivable; (vi) our ability to expand and implement our future growth strategy, including acquisitions; (vii) uncertainty regarding future volatility in our Common Stock price; (viii) uncertainty regarding whether wireless equipment manufacturers and wireless network operators will continue to outsource aspects of their business to us; (ix) our reliance upon third parties to manufacture products which we distribute and reliance upon their quality control procedures; (x) the potential for our operations to be materially affected by fluctuations in regional demand and economic factors; (xi) rapid technological changes in the wireless communications and data industry; (xii) risks of foreign operations, including currency, trade restrictions and political risks in our foreign markets; (xiii) effect of natural disasters, epidemics, hostilities or terrorist attacks on our operations; (xiv) the impact that seasonality may have on our business and results; (xv) our ability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel, cost of complying with labor agreements and high rate of personnel turnover; (xvi) protecting our proprietary information; (xvii) existence of anti-takeover measures; (xviii) the fact that a substantial number of shares are eligible for future sale by Dangaard Holding and the sale of those shares could adversely affect our stock price; (xix) integration of Dangaard Telecom's operations in a timely manner; (xx) acquisition related accounting impairment and amortization charges may delay and reduce our post-acquisition profitability; (xxi) exposure to unknown pre-existing liabilities of Dangaard Telecom; (xxii) possible adverse effects of future medical claims regarding the use of wireless devices; (xxiii) intense industry competition. Because of the aforementioned uncertainties affecting our future operating results, past performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future results or trends.

See accompanying "Notes to Non-GAAP Reconciliation of
Consolidated Statements of Operations."
Notes to Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Consolidated
Statements of Operations:
(1) We have provided income from continuing operations and earnings
per share on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an as adjusted non-GAAP
basis because the Company's management believes it provides
meaningful information to investors. Among other things, it may
assist investors in evaluating the Company's on-going operations.
Adjustments to earnings per share from continuing operations
generally include certain non-cash charges such as stock based
compensation and amortization of acquired finite lived intangible
assets as well as other items that are considered to be unusual or
infrequent in nature such as restructuring charges. Non-GAAP
earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP income from
continuing operations by non-GAAP weighted average common shares
outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP
earnings per share, we add back certain shares presumed to be
repurchased under the U.S. GAAP treasury stock method related to
stock based compensation expense. We believe these non-GAAP
disclosures provide important supplemental information to
management and investors regarding financial and business trends
relating to the Company's financial condition and results of
operations. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to
evaluate the performance of the business and to evaluate results
relative to incentive compensation targets for certain employees.
Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as
a substitute for, or as superior to measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2) Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2008
include:
* A $0.9 million restructuring charge (pre-tax) consisting
primarily of a $0.2 million charge related to the sale of
certain assets in Colombia as well as $0.7 million of
restructuring charges associated with the previously announced
realignment of our European operations.
* $4.6 million of non-cash amortization expense related to
acquired intangible assets.
* $1.6 million of non-cash stock based compensation expense.
* $2.2 million tax impact of items described above.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes EBITDA
provides it with an indicator of how much cash the Company generates,
excluding non-cash charges and any changes in working capital.
Management also reviews and utilizes the entire statement of cash flows
to evaluate cash flow performance.
Cash Conversion Cycle Days
Management utilizes the cash conversion cycle days metric and its
components to evaluate the Company's ability to manage its working
capital and its cash flow performance. Cash conversion cycle days and
its components for the quarters ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, and
June 30, 2008 were as follows:
Three Months Ended

Days inventory on-hand 24 34 29
Days payable outstanding (42) (42) (45)

Cash Conversion Cycle Days 10 32 15
========== ========== ==========
There can be no assurances that our cash conversion cycle will remain
as low in the future as in the third quarter of 2008. Increases in the
cash conversion cycle would have the effect of consuming our cash,
potentially causing us to borrow from lenders to fund the related
increase in working capital.

2008, was as follows:

========== ========== ==========
Average invested capital (2) $ 956,676 $ 396,954 $ 859,623
ROIC (3) 8% 14% 10%
(1) Estimated income taxes were calculated by multiplying the sum of
operating income from continuing operations and the restructuring
charge by the respective periods' effective tax rate. Income tax
benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 includes a $3.0
million benefit from the reversal of a valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets resulting from previous net operating losses
in Germany. The income tax benefit as well as low income before
taxes results in a negative effective tax rate of 167.9% for the
period, This negative effective tax rate causes estimated income
taxes in our ROIC calculation to be a benefit for the three
months ended June 30, 2008.
(2) Average invested capital for quarterly periods represents the
simple average of the beginning and ending invested capital
amounts for the respective quarter. Average invested capital for
the trailing four quarters represents the simple average of the
invested capital amounts for the current and four prior quarter
period ends.
(3) ROIC is calculated by dividing operating income after taxes by
average invested capital. ROIC for quarterly periods is stated on
an annualized basis and is calculated by dividing operating
income after taxes by average invested capital and multiplying
the results by four.
The decline in ROIC for the three months and trailing four
quarters ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in
the prior year was primarily due to the increase in average
invested capital compared the prior year and the decrease in
operating income after taxes. Average invested capital was
negatively impacted by an increase in invested capital to fund
the acquisition of Dangaard Telecom.

Return on Tangible Capital ("ROTC")
Beginning in the third quarter of 2008, Management began using
Return on Tangible Capital, or ROTC, to provide a measurement
which can be consistently and fairly applied internally to all
operating entities to determine the effectiveness of each
entity's usage of tangible capital. ROTC eliminates the influence
of intangible assets balances, cash transfer capabilities and
income tax rates which vary amongst Brightpoint operating
entities and are not controllable by operating entity management.
ROTC indicates the return which can be expected on the tangible
capital consumed and replaced through the normal business cycle.
To calculate ROTC, operating income from continuing operations is
adjusted for restructuring charges and amortization of intangible
assets, and this adjusted operating income is applied to average
tangible capital. Average tangible capital is calculated as total
assets less cash, investments, goodwill, intangible assets, net
of current liabilities excluding short term borrowings. The
details of this measurement are outlined below.

Average tangible capital (1) $ 437,428 $ 250,904 $ 432,760
ROTC (2) 24% 21% 25%
(1) Average invested capital for quarterly periods represents the
simple average of the beginning and ending tangible capital
amounts for the respective quarter.
(2) ROTC is calculated by dividing operating income before
amortization and restructuring charges by average tangible
capital. ROTC for quarterly periods is stated on an annualized
basis and is calculated by dividing operating income before
amortization and restructuring charges by average tangible
capital and multiplying the results by four.
ROTC increased for the three months and trailing four quarters
ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior
year primarily as a result of decreases in tangible capital
employed.
We anticipate improving our trailing four quarter ROTC to a range
of 35%-40% as we increase operating income through better
employment of tangible capital.
