Insight Enterprises, Inc. Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Record Full Year 2018 Results

TEMPE, Ariz.--()--Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSIT) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018. Highlights include:

  • Gross profit up 9% year over year to $254.2 million for the fourth quarter and up 8% for the full year
  • Earnings from operations up 29% to $58.7 million for the fourth quarter and up 30% for the full year
  • Diluted earnings per share of $1.31 increased more than 100% for the fourth quarter year over year and record diluted earnings per share of $4.55 increased 82% for the full year
  • Cash flows provided by operations of $292.6 million in 2018 compared to cash used in operations of $307.1 million in 2017

In the fourth quarter of 2018, consolidated net sales were $1.75 billion, which was down 2%, year to year, reflecting a decline in software net sales offset by strong growth in services net sales. The decline in software net sales was due primarily to the adoption of ASC 606, which resulted in more software sales being recorded net and a higher mix of cloud and maintenance service offerings which are recorded net in services. Gross profit increased 9%, year over year, with gross margins increasing 140 basis points to 14.5% for the quarter. Earnings from operations grew 29%, year over year.

“Our fourth quarter results reflect a strong close to another great year for our company. We focused on sales in higher margin categories, including cloud subscription, maintenance and professional services offerings, which drove up gross margins 140 basis points and earnings from operations up double digits for the quarter,” stated Ken Lamneck, president and CEO.

For the full year 2018, consolidated net sales were $7.1 billion, up 6% year over year, reflecting strong growth in services including an increase in sales of cloud offerings and software maintenance. Gross profit increased 8%, year over year, with gross margins increasing 30 basis points to 14.0% for the full year. Earnings from operations grew 30%, year over year, with each of our geographic segments generating double digit growth in earnings from operations.

“We are happy to report another year of record results for Insight. Our global team delivered a third consecutive year of double-digit earnings growth while accelerating cash flow generation, expanding our services offerings and integrating strategic acquisitions,” stated Lamneck. ”Our solution area go-to-market strategy, deep technical talent and consistent focus on operational excellence have accelerated our financial performance and uniquely position us to compete in the marketplace in 2019 and beyond,” stated Lamneck.

In discussing financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 in this press release, the Company refers to certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). When referring to non-GAAP measures, the Company refers to such measures as “Adjusted.” See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information. A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.

In some instances the Company refers to changes in net sales, gross profit and earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in North America, EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. In computing these changes and percentages, the Company compares the current year amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior year amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period.

The tax effect of Adjusted amounts referenced herein were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.

GUIDANCE

For the full year 2019, the Company expects to deliver sales growth in the mid-single digit range in U.S. dollar terms and diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $4.75 and $4.85.

This outlook assumes:

  • an effective tax rate of 25% to 26% for the full year 2019;
  • capital expenditures of $20 to $25 million for the full year; and
  • an average share count for the full year of approximately 36.2 million shares.

This outlook does not reflect the repurchase of any shares under the Company’s currently authorized share repurchase program and assumes no severance and restructuring or acquisition-related expenses. Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting these types of expenses, which impact net earnings and diluted earnings per share, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the related impact of such expenses, if any, to net earnings and diluted earnings per share.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST

The Company will host a conference call and live web cast today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2018 results of operations. A live web cast of the conference call (in listen-only mode) will be available on the Company’s web site at http://investor.insight.com/, and a replay of the web cast will be available on the Company’s web site for a limited time following the call. To listen to the live web cast by telephone, call 1-877-524-8416 if located in the U.S., or 412-902-1028 for international callers, and enter the access code 13687122.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures are referred to as “Adjusted.” Adjusted consolidated earnings from operations, Adjusted consolidated net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) loss on sale of the Company’s Russia business in the 2017 period, (iii) certain acquisition-related expenses, and (iv) the tax effects of each of these items, as applicable. The Company excludes these items when internally evaluating earnings from operations, tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the Company and earnings from operations for each of the Company’s operating segments. Adjusted free cash flow is the Company’s net cash provided or used by operating activities adjusted for (i) purchases of property and equipment and (ii) the net borrowings or repayments under the inventory financing facility. Adjusted return on invested capital (“ROIC”) excludes (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) loss on sale of the Company’s Russia business in the 2017 period, and (iii) certain acquisition-related expenses.

These non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate financial performance against budgeted amounts, to calculate incentive compensation, to assist in forecasting future performance and to compare the Company’s results to those of the Company’s competitors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and the Company’s competitors’ results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
