SEGMENT OVERVIEW

In North America, net sales were $868.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, down 5% compared to sales of $913.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net sales of hardware, software and services decreased 6%, 1% and 10%, respectively, year to year. Gross profit of $117.0 million was up 2% year over year, with gross margin increasing to 13.5% from 12.5% in the third quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses in North America in the third quarter of 2012 decreased 2%, or $1.8 million, compared to the third quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2012 include a reduction in legal expenses of approximately $2.0 million associated with the recovery of costs incurred in previous periods. During the third quarter of 2012, the North America segment had $916,000, $576,000 net of tax, of severance and restructuring expenses compared to $476,000, $293,000 net of tax, during the third quarter of 2011. As a result, earnings from operations in North America increased 15% year over year to $28.3 million, or 3.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $24.6 million, or 2.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2011.

The Company's EMEA operating segment reported net sales of $276.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, down 4% in U.S. dollars compared to the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, net sales increased 2% year over year. Results for the third quarter of 2012 include Inmac, which the Company acquired effective February 1, 2012.

Excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, hardware and services net sales increased 20% and 6%, respectively, while net sales of software declined 10% compared to the third quarter of 2011. Gross profit of $43.3 million was up 3% in U.S. dollars, 9% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, with gross margin increasing to 15.7% for the third quarter of 2012 from 14.6% in the third quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses in EMEA in the third quarter of 2012 were up 7%, or $2.7 million, compared to the third quarter of 2011 in U.S. dollars and, excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, were up 15% year over year. During the third quarter of 2012, EMEA recorded a reduction to severance and restructuring expenses of $211,000, $148,000 net of tax, due to changes in estimates as cash payments were made relating to accruals associated with previous restructuring actions, compared to severance and restructuring expenses of $53,000, $37,000 net of tax, reported for the third quarter of 2011. As a result, earnings from operations in EMEA were $1.4 million, or 0.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2.7 million, or 0.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2011.

The Company's APAC operating segment reported net sales of $36.0 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 2% compared to the third quarter of 2011 in U.S. dollars, 3% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. Gross profit was $7.3 million, an increase of 9% year over year in U.S. dollars, 10% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements, with gross margin increasing to 20.4% for the third quarter of 2012 from 19.1% in the third quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses in APAC increased $232,000, or 4%, year over year in U.S. dollars, 5% excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. As a result, earnings from operations in APAC were $950,000, or 2.6% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $599,000, or 1.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2011.

Throughout this "Segment Overview" section, the Company refers to changes in net sales, gross profit and selling and administrative expenses in EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of foreign currency movements. 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 average translation rate for the current period.

Net of tax amounts referenced above were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded.

UPDATED GUIDANCE

Looking into the fourth quarter, the Company expects global demand trends to continue to be muted, particularly for hardware products, and expects software sales to increase from the third quarter due to seasonality in that category. The Company expects diluted earnings per share of $0.53 to $0.59 in the fourth quarter, and for the full year 2012, the Company expects diluted earnings per share to be between $2.17 and $2.23.

This outlook:

  • includes an effective tax rate of 36% to 38% in the fourth quarter; and
  • excludes severance and restructuring expenses incurred during the year and the non-operating gain on an acquisition recorded in the first quarter.
