Insights

Avnet's Q4 FY2024 results show a mixed performance. While the company exceeded its guidance, there are signs of market challenges. Sales declined 15.1% year-over-year to $5.6 billion and adjusted EPS fell 40.8% to $1.22. The Electronic Components segment's operating margin contracted to 4.1% from 5.1% a year ago.

However, Avnet demonstrated strong cash flow management, generating $274 million from operations in Q4. The company's commitment to shareholder returns is evident, with $79 million in share repurchases and $28 million in dividends. The outlook for Q1 FY2025 suggests continued headwinds, with projected sales of $5.25-5.55 billion and EPS of $0.80-0.90, indicating potential further declines.

Avnet's results reflect broader semiconductor industry trends. The 15.1% year-over-year sales decline aligns with the current cyclical downturn in the chip sector. However, the 4.2% sequential growth in Asia sales is noteworthy, potentially signaling early signs of recovery in that region.

The company's performance varies significantly by geography, with Americas and EMEA sales declining over 21% year-over-year, while Asia saw only a 3.5% drop. This regional disparity suggests differing market dynamics and recovery rates across global semiconductor markets. Investors should monitor these regional trends as indicators of broader industry shifts and potential opportunities in the coming quarters.

Avnet's ability to exceed guidance despite challenging market conditions highlights its effective supply chain management. The focus on controlling costs and managing working capital has paid off, as evidenced by the strong operating cash flow of $690 million for the fiscal year.

The company's strategy of supporting supplier and customer partners while growing market share positions it well for an eventual market recovery. However, the declining operating margins across segments (Electronic Components at 4.1% and Farnell at 4.0%) suggest ongoing pressure on the supply chain. As the industry navigates through inventory corrections and demand fluctuations, Avnet's supply chain resilience will be important for maintaining its competitive edge and capitalizing on the anticipated market rebound.

Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.22

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information including (i) adjusted operating income, (ii) adjusted other income (expense), (iii) adjusted income before income taxes, (iv) adjusted income tax expense (benefit), and (v) adjusted diluted earnings per share.

There are also references to the impact of foreign currency in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens and the stronger exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is a decrease in U.S. Dollars of reported results. Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar weakens and the weaker exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is an increase in U.S. Dollars of reported results. In the discussion of the Company’s results of operations, results excluding this impact are referred to as “constant currency.” Management believes sales in constant currency is a useful measure for evaluating current period performance as compared with prior periods and for understanding underlying trends. In order to determine the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on sales, income or expense items for subsidiaries reporting in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, the Company adjusts the average exchange rates used in current periods to be consistent with the average exchange rates in effect during the comparative period.

Management believes that operating income adjusted for restructuring, integration and other expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, is a useful measure to help investors better assess and understand the Company’s operating performance. This is especially the case when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of Avnet’s normal operating results or non-cash in nature. Management analyzes operating income without the impact of these items as an indicator of ongoing margin performance and underlying trends in the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in most cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. Management measures operating income for its reportable segments excluding restructuring, integration and other expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets and other.

Management also believes income tax expense (benefit), net income and diluted earnings per share adjusted for the impact of the items described above, gain on legal settlements and other, foreign currency gains and losses and certain items impacting income tax expense (benefit) are useful to investors because they provide a measure of the Company’s net profitability on a more comparable basis to historical periods and provide a more meaningful basis for forecasting future performance. Adjustments to income tax expense (benefit) and the effective income tax rate include the effect of changes in tax laws, certain changes in valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits, income tax audit settlements and adjustments to effective tax rate based upon the expected long-term adjusted effective tax rate. Additionally, because of management’s focus on generating shareholder value, of which net profitability is a primary driver, management believes net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of these items provides an important measure of the Company’s net profitability for the investing public.

Additional non-GAAP metrics management uses are adjusted operating income margin, which is defined as adjusted operating income divided by sales and the adjusted effective income tax rate, which is defined as adjusted income tax expense divided by adjusted income before income taxes.

Any analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.
