STAMFORD, Conn.--()--Harman International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE:HAR), the leading global infotainment and audio group, today announced results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Net sales for the third quarter were $1.404 billion, an increase of 32 percent compared to the same period last year, as all three of the Company’s divisions reported increased sales. Infotainment net sales were up due to higher automotive production and take rates. Lifestyle growth was driven by one large order from a mobile telecommunications customer and accelerated sales of new products launched earlier in the year in the home and multimedia business, and an increase in automotive production in the car audio business. Professional net sales increased as a result of the expansion of the Company’s product portfolio into lighting.

On a GAAP basis, third quarter operating income was $101 million, compared to $38 million in the same period last year, and earnings per diluted share were $1.05 for the quarter compared to $0.50. Excluding restructuring and non-recurring charges, third quarter non-GAAP operating income was $108 million, compared to $66 million in the same period last year. On the same non-GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $1.12 for the quarter compared to $0.79 in the same period last year.

“We are extremely pleased that, for the third consecutive quarter, all three of our divisions reported double-digit top-line growth, facilitating a 42 percent improvement in EBITDA,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO. “In our automotive businesses, we are capitalizing on robust demand for an embedded connected car experience and a more favorable production environment. There is pent up demand, particularly in Europe, which we expect will stabilize in the coming quarters. In our other businesses, we continue to gain traction with our award-winning innovative products and the expansion of our distribution channels globally. As a result of our continued success and the current positive trends in automotive industry, we have increased our revenue and EPS forecast for a second time this year.”

Summary of Operations – Gross Margin and SG&A

Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 43 basis points to 26.1 percent. The improvement was primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume on fixed production costs and favorable product mix in the Infotainment Division, partially offset by lower gross margin in the Lifestyle Division due to a change in product mix.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, SG&A and Other expense as a percentage of net sales decreased 103 basis points to 18.4 percent on a non-GAAP basis. The improvement was primarily related to operating leverage from higher sales.

Fiscal 2014 Outlook

HARMAN today raised its financial outlook for fiscal 2014. The Company now forecasts global revenue of ~$5.275 billion, non-GAAP EBITDA of ~$550 million and earnings per share of ~$4.36.

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $736 million, an increase of 29 percent compared to the prior year, or 26 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in sales was due to higher automotive production, the expansion of the Company’s recent production launches across car lines, and higher take rates.

On a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin increased 244 basis points to 21.7 percent compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of improved leverage on fixed production costs, benefits from footprint migration restructuring initiatives, and an increased mix of scalable infotainment systems. SG&A spending decreased 45 basis points to 13.1 percent of net sales primarily due to improved operating leverage on higher sales.

Infotainment Division Highlights

During the quarter, HARMAN expanded recent platform launches across additional car lines, secured new business awards, and successfully commenced production on new programs globally.

BMW expanded the NBT infotainment system across additional car lines. In addition, Daimler extended the NTG5 infotainment solution previously launched in the Mercedes S-Class flagship vehicle into their C- and V-Class vehicles. The Company also successfully launched programs across a number of VW Group vehicles, including the Audi TT, the Porsche Macan and 911 Targa, and the Lamborghini Huracan.

HARMAN won an award to equip Scion vehicles with a Gen II infotainment system in North America. Toyota Europe also awarded HARMAN follow-on business to supply infotainment solutions across its car models.

At the Geneva Motor Show in March, a number of automotive manufacturers launched new vehicles featuring HARMAN technology. HARMAN also continued its global roll-out of advanced solutions for the connected car with its next-generation scalable infotainment platform based on innovative system architecture that offers rapid development of connected car apps and advanced safety features while protecting the integrity of the system against cyber security threats. The new platform offers an HTML-5 based application environment which paves the way for an app ecosystem for embedded infotainment. In addition, the new platform enhances security with hypervisor-based domain separation securing critical vehicle functions from errant or malicious software. This solution provides a foundation to support the future of autonomous driving.

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $468 million, an increase of 43 percent compared to same period in the prior year. The growth in the home and multimedia business was primarily due to one large order from a mobile telecommunications customer and accelerated sales of new products launched earlier in the year. The growth in the car audio business was primarily driven by an increase in automotive production and higher take rates.

On a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin decreased by 238 basis points to 27.9 percent compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a higher proportion of revenue coming from the home and multimedia business versus the higher margin car audio business. SG&A expense as a percentage of sales decreased by 197 basis points to 16.6 percent primarily due to improved operating leverage.

Lifestyle Division Highlights

The Lifestyle Division continued to gain momentum with its award-winning home and multimedia and car audio solutions. During the quarter, HARMAN entered into an agreement with Softbank (Japan), including its subsidiaries Sprint (U.S.A.), Trikomsel (Indonesia), and Brightstar (worldwide). Softbank is exclusively selling the newly designed Harman Kardon® Onyx Studio™ portable wireless speaker to its customers globally. The Onyx Studio™ is now the third HARMAN product to exceed one million units shipped.

HARMAN also received 19 Red Dot (international), 13 iF (Germany), and eight CES (USA) design and innovation awards for its home and multimedia products. In February, the Company opened a new retail flagship store in Moscow. The Company also has flagship stores in Beijing, New York, Seoul, and Shanghai.

In addition, HARMAN secured new and follow-on car audio awards from Chrysler, Lexus, Toyota, as well as Chinese automakers Brilliance, Great Wall and Dongfeng. Building on its award to provide a high-end Revel audio solution for Ford’s Lincoln vehicles, HARMAN won its first order for HALOsonic External Electronic Sound Synthesis, or eESS. HALOsonic eESS generates engine sounds for ultra-quiet electric vehicles, helping to create a safer environment for other drivers and pedestrians.

Chrysler presented HARMAN with its 2013 Innovation Award for the outstanding performance of the HALOsonic Engine Order Cancellation (EOC) technology. Frost & Sullivan also recognized the Company with its prestigious 2014 Global Product Leadership Award for Premium Automotive Audio. Finally, both Clari-Fi™ and QuantumLogic Surround 3D® each won Plus X Awards for Innovation and High Quality.

HARMAN continued to roll-out its proprietary Clari-Fi™ technology. Previously branded as Signal Doctor™, Clari-Fi™ leverages HARMAN’s expertise in music recording, signal processing and psycho-acoustics to restore the full sound that is forfeited during the compression process. Clari-Fi™ has been launched in the Company’s JBL Authentics product line and debuted in the automotive market in the new Lexus NX vehicle. It is also an integral part of the new HTC One M8 Harman Kardon edition smart phone launched by Sprint in North America earlier this week.

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $200 million, an increase of 21 percent compared to the prior year or 23 percent excluding foreign currency translation. The increase in net sales is primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s product portfolio into lighting as a result of the acquisition of Martin Professional.

On a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin decreased 30 basis points to 38.1 percent compared to the prior year primarily related to new product introduction launch costs. SG&A expense as a percentage of sales increased 33 basis points to 25.2 percent due to integration costs related to acquisitions.

Professional Division Highlights

The Professional Division continued to experience robust demand for its audio and lighting products for use at live entertainment events and fixed venue installations worldwide.

In the third quarter, the Company’s audio and lighting system solutions were installed at FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns, and the new Marassi Civic Center in Egypt. The Company’s systems were installed as upgrades for numerous other entertainment, hospitality and transportation facilities, such as the San Francisco Muni Public Transit System.

These included the 47th Annual Super Bowl Halftime Show, the NBA All-Star Game Concert, and the GRAMMY Awards. In Brazil, HARMAN audio systems were also utilized at world-renowned Carnival events in key cities such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
