Jabil Posts First Quarter Results

Also Announces $200 Million Stock Repurchase Authorization

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--()--Today Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE: JBL), announced preliminary, unaudited financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

The company reported first quarter revenue of $4.6 billion.

Jabil’s three reporting segments delivered the following revenue results for the company’s first fiscal quarter:

  • Diversified Manufacturing: $2.3 billion.
  • Enterprise & Infrastructure: $1.3 billion.
  • High Velocity: $1.0 billion.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating income for the first quarter was $172.7 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.57. The company indicated that $21.3 million in restructuring costs during the quarter impacted GAAP operating income.

Core operating income results, excluding amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation and related charges and restructuring and related charges, was $177.1 million and core diluted earnings per share was $0.51.

(Definitions used: "GAAP" means U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Jabil defines core operating income as GAAP operating income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, certain distressed customer charges, settlement of receivables and related charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries and acquisition costs and purchase accounting adjustments. Jabil defines core earnings as GAAP net income before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, certain distressed customer charges, settlement of receivables and related charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, acquisition costs and purchase accounting adjustments, certain other expenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax valuation allowance charges. Jabil defines core diluted earnings per share as core earnings divided by the weighted average number of outstanding diluted shares determined under GAAP. Jabil calculates core return on invested capital by annualizing its after-tax core operating income for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter average net invested capital base. Jabil reports core operating income, core earnings, core diluted and basic earnings per share and core return on invested capital to provide investors an additional method for assessing operating income, earnings, diluted earnings per share and return on invested capital from what it believes are its core manufacturing operations. See the accompanying reconciliation of Jabil's core operating income to its GAAP operating income, its calculation of core earnings and core diluted earnings per share to its GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per share, its calculation of core return on invested capital and additional information in the supplemental information.)

CALCULATION OF RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL AND

CORE RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

The Company calculates: (1) its "Return on Invested Capital" by annualizing its "after-tax GAAP operating income" for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter average of its "net invested capital asset base" and (2) its "Core Return on Invested Capital" by annualizing its "after-tax non-GAAP core operating income" for its most recently-ended quarter and dividing that by a two quarter average of its "net invested capital asset base."

The Company calculates: (1) its "after-tax GAAP operating income" by subtracting a certain tax effect (the calculation of which is explained below) from its GAAP operating income and (2) its "after-tax non-GAAP core operating income" by subtracting a certain tax effect (the calculation of which is explained below) from its non-GAAP core operating income. See elsewhere in this earnings release for a reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP core operating income to its GAAP operating income.

The Company calculates "net invested capital asset base" as the sum of the averages (the calculations of which are explained below) of (1) its stockholders’ equity, (2) the non-current portion of its notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations and (3) the current portion of its notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations, less the average (the calculation of which is explained below) of its cash and cash equivalents.

The following table reconciles (1) "Return on Invested Capital," as calculated using "after-tax GAAP operating income" to (2) "Core Return on Invested Capital," as calculated using "after-tax non-GAAP core operating income":
