PITTSBURGH, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of electrical, industrial, and communications MRO and OEM products, construction materials, and advanced supply chain management and logistics services, announces its 2014 third quarter results.

The following are results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  A reconciliation of adjusted results is provided in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

  • Net sales were $2,078.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $1,931.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 7.6%.  Organic sales increased 6.7%, acquisitions positively impacted sales by 1.8%, and foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by 0.9%.  Sequentially, sales increased 3.6%, and organic sales increased 3.1%.   
  • Gross profit was $422.4 million, or 20.3% of sales, for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $395.7 million, or 20.5% of sales, for the third quarter of 2013.
  • Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses were $271.8 million, or 13.1% of sales, for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $255.2 million, or 13.2% of sales, for the third quarter of 2013.
  • Operating profit was $133.2 million for the current quarter, compared to $123.7 million for the third quarter of 2013.  Operating profit as a percentage of sales was 6.4% in 2014 and 2013.
  • Interest expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $20.8 million, compared to $21.3 million for the third quarter of 2013.  Non-cash interest expense, which includes convertible debt interest, interest related to uncertain tax positions, and the amortization of deferred financing fees, for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 was $2.3 million.
  • The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 28.1%, compared to 31.0% for the prior year third quarter.
  • Net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc. of $80.8 million for the current quarter was up 16.9% from $69.2 million in the prior year quarter and up 8.2% from adjusted net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc. of $74.7 million in the prior year quarter. Prior year quarter adjusted net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc. excludes the impact of the sale of the Company's EECOL Electric Argentina operations and the tax impact of the ArcelorMittal litigation recovery.
  • Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 2014 were $1.52 per share, based on 53.2 million diluted shares, compared to $1.32 per share in the third quarter of 2013, based on 52.5 million diluted shares. Earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014 of $1.52 per share were up 7.0%, compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.42 per share in the corresponding prior year period excluding the impact of non-recurring items.
  • Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2014 was $84.8 million, or 105% of net income, compared to $72.3 million for the third quarter of 2013.

Mr. John J. Engel, WESCO's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our third quarter results reflect strong sales execution and continued improvement in our end markets. Organic sales grew 7% with growth accelerating through the quarter. Sales were up in all four of our end markets for the second consecutive quarter. Organically, U.S. sales grew 8% while Canada sales grew 5%. Operating margin expanded to 6.4%, increasing 60 basis points sequentially, and reflected good operating cost leverage. Free cash flow was also strong at $85 million or 105% of net income. We continue to see favorable momentum in our customer base, including strengthening in non-residential construction, which we expect will result in ongoing growth in our key markets. Based upon our third quarter results, we are narrowing our full year outlook to approximately 5% sales growth and $5.25 to $5.35 earnings per diluted share from our previous outlook of 4% to 5% sales growth and $5.20 to $5.40 earnings per diluted share.

The following results are for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

  • Net sales were $5,894.1 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared to $5,633.3 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of 4.6%.  Acquisitions positively impacted sales by 1.3%, organic sales increased 4.8%, and foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by 1.5%.
  • Gross profit of $1,208.8 million, or 20.5% of sales, for the first nine months of 2014 was down 30 basis points, compared to $1,169.3 million, or 20.8% of sales, for the first nine months of 2013.
  • SG&A expenses were $815.8 million, or 13.8% of sales, for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $748.2 million, or 13.3% of sales, for the first nine months of 2013.  SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2013 include a $36.1 million favorable impact resulting from the recognition of insurance coverage on a litigation matter.  Excluding the impact of this favorable item, SG&A expenses were $784.3 million, or 13.9% of sales.
  • Operating profit was $342.0 million for the first nine months of 2014, down 7.7% from $370.4 million for the comparable 2013 period.  Operating profit as a percentage of sales was 5.8% in 2014, down 80 basis points from 6.6% in 2013.  Excluding the favorable impact resulting from the recognition of insurance coverage on a litigation matter, operating profit for the first nine months of 2013 was $334.3 million, or 5.9% of sales.
  • Interest expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $61.8 million, compared to $65.0 million for the first nine months of 2013.  Non-cash interest expense, which includes convertible debt interest, interest related to uncertain tax positions, and the amortization of deferred financing fees, for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013 was $7.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively. 
  • The effective nine-month tax rate was 28.1% for 2014 compared to 27.9% for 2013.
  • Net income attributable to WESCO International, Inc. was $201.5 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $218.4 million for the first nine months of 2013.  Adjusted net income for the first nine months of 2013 was $197.1 million excluding the favorable impact resulting from the recognition of insurance coverage on a litigation matter and the loss on the sale of the Company's EECOL Electric Argentina operations.
  • Earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of 2014 were $3.78 per share, based on 53.4 million diluted shares, versus $4.17 per share for the first nine months of 2013, based on 52.4 million diluted shares. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $3.76 per share in the corresponding prior year period excluding the impact of non-recurring items.
  • Free cash flow for the nine months of 2014 was $123.8 million compared to $180.3 million in the comparable prior year period. 

Mr. Engel continued, "Following the organizational changes announced earlier this year to accelerate our One WESCO strategy, we are pleased with the progress we're making to strengthen our business and deliver above-market growth. Our One WESCO value proposition provides customers with the comprehensive product and service solutions they need to meet their MRO, OEM, and capital project management requirements.  We remain sharply focused on strengthening that value proposition both organically and through acquisitions. Our acquisition pipeline remains robust, and we continue to see opportunities to enhance our electrical core as well as broaden our portfolio of products and services."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  These financial measures include financial leverage, free cash flow, gross profit, organic sales growth, adjusted net income, adjusted income from operations, and adjusted earnings per diluted share.  The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in order to provide a better understanding of the Company's capital structure position, liquidity, and organic growth trends on a comparable basis.  Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures either focus on or exclude transactions impacting comparability of results, allowing investors to more easily compare the Company's financial performance from period to period.  Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated above.

Note: Financial leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure provided by the Company as an indicator of capital structure position. Financial leverage ratio based on total debt is calculated by dividing total debt, including debt discount, by Adjusted EBITDA. Financial leverage ratio based on total debt, net of cash, is calculated by dividing total debt, including debt discount, net of cash, by Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding the ArcelorMittal litigation recovery in 2013. Financial leverage ratio based on total net debt is calculated by dividing total debt, including debt discount less cash and cash equivalents, by Adjusted EBITDA.


(1)The convertible debentures and term loan are presented in the consolidated balance sheets in long-term debt net of the unamortized discount.

Note: Free cash flow is provided by the Company as an additional liquidity measure. Capital expenditures are deducted from operating cash flow to determine free cash flow. Free cash flow is available to provide a source of funds for any of the Company's financing needs. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, a non-recurring contribution was made to fund the Canadian EECOL pension plan. This contribution was required pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement by which the Company acquired EECOL in 2012. EECOL sellers fully funded this contribution by way of a direct reduction in the purchase price at the date of acquisition. U.S. GAAP requires the contribution to be shown as a reduction of operating cash flow, however, it is added back to accurately reflect free cash flow.
