Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results reveal a mixed performance with some concerning trends. While net sales declined 1.4% to $11.8 billion, gross margin improved slightly to 7.19%. The $77.0 million GAAP net income represents a year-over-year decline, though non-GAAP earnings showed improvement.

Key positives include improved operating margins, successful debt refinancing with better terms and strategic shift toward higher-margin cloud solutions. However, regional performance varies significantly - North America and Latin America showed weakness, while Asia-Pacific demonstrated growth.

Notable concerns include negative operating cash flow of $277.0 million and declining EPS metrics. The transition to public markets adds pressure for consistent performance and transparent reporting. The company's focus on quality over quantity in sales and investment in the Xvantage platform could support long-term value creation, but near-term challenges persist.

Market Research Analyst

The results highlight Ingram Micro's strategic transformation amid market headwinds. The shift toward Advanced Solutions and Cloud offerings is yielding higher margins, evidenced by improved gross margin despite revenue decline. Regional diversification provides some buffer, with Asia-Pacific growth offsetting weakness in mature markets.

The Xvantage platform investment positions the company for digital transformation in distribution, though benefits may take time to materialize. Market share in key segments remains strong, but declining smartphone and consumer electronics sales in multiple regions suggest broader industry challenges.

Post-IPO, investor focus will likely center on cash flow management and margin sustainability. The negative free cash flow warrants monitoring, though seasonal factors and inventory management strategies provide context.

• Net sales of $11.8 billion
• Gross margin up 2 basis points year-over-year
• Net income of $77.0 million and non-GAAP net income of $159.2 million
• Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.35 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.72
• Cash used in operations of $277.0 million and adjusted free cash flow of $(254.6) million
• On a year-to-date basis, cash provided by operations of $23.9 million and adjusted free cash flow of $106.1 million

Ingram Micro Holding Corporation (NYSE: INGM) (“Ingram Micro” or the “Company”) today reported fiscal third quarter results for the period ended September 28, 2024.

“We are grateful to our associates, partners, and customers who supported our return to the public markets in October, building upon our 45-year legacy of powering the world’s leading technology brands,” said Paul Bay, Ingram Micro’s Chief Executive Officer. “As a public company, we expect to continue delivering measurable business outcomes to our customers while we expand our technical reach and scope, bolstered by our revolutionary Xvantage platform. We are eager to continue redefining the value of distribution with our increased visibility in the public markets.”

“The third quarter results reflect the success of our focus while we were private, including our increased geographic reach, expanded product and service offerings, and shift towards Advanced Solutions and Cloud offering products,” said Mike Zilis, Ingram Micro’s Chief Financial Officer. “Going forward, we are focused on the quality of our net sales as we continue our track record of profitable growth and investment in our highly differentiated Xvantage platform.”

Consolidated Fiscal Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Net sales totaled $11.8 billion, compared to $11.9 billion in the prior fiscal third quarter, representing a decrease of 1.4%. The year-over-year decrease was primarily a result of lower net sales in our North America and Latin America regions, partially offset by net sales growth in our Asia-Pacific region.
• Gross profit was $845.5 million, compared to $854.8 million in the prior fiscal third quarter.
• Gross margin was 7.19%, compared to 7.17% in the prior fiscal third quarter. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was driven by a shift in sales mix towards our higher-margin cloud-based solutions and Other services net sales particularly in North America.
• Income from Operations was $218.2 million, compared to $212.4 million in the prior fiscal third quarter. Adjusted income from operations was $253.9 million, compared to $265.5 million in the prior fiscal third quarter. Included in the results for the fiscal third quarter of 2024 are $8.8 million of costs, or seven basis points of net sales, associated with the September 2024 refinancing of our Term Loan B and Asset Backed Lending facility. This extended the maturities of these facilities to 2031 and 2029 respectively, while also reducing the interest rate spread on the Term Loan B by twenty-five basis points.
• Income from operations margin was 1.85%, compared to 1.78% in the prior fiscal third quarter. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to restructuring costs incurred in the prior fiscal third quarter, as well as the increase in gross margin year-over-year.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $331.6 million, compared to $314.0 million in the prior fiscal third quarter.
• Diluted EPS was $0.35, compared to $0.39 in the prior fiscal third quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.72, compared to $0.67 in the prior fiscal third quarter.
• Cash used in operations was $277.0 million, compared to $256.0 million in the prior fiscal third quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $(254.6) million, compared to $(281.5) million in the prior fiscal third quarter. We typically invest in inventory during our fiscal third quarter to serve higher seasonal sales in our fiscal fourth quarter.
• Year-to-date cash provided by operations is $23.9 million and adjusted free cash flow is a positive $106.1 million, compared to $59.8 million and $6.5 million in the same period in 2023. We continue to manage our balance sheet with a focus on return on investment, profitable growth, and quality of net sales over time.

Regional Fiscal Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

North America

Net sales were $4.3 billion, compared to $4.6 billion in the prior fiscal third quarter. The year-over-year decrease in North American net sales was primarily driven by a decline in net sales of client and endpoint solutions, particularly smartphones, application software, and components in the United States.

Income from operations was $83.3 million, compared to $79.2 million in the prior fiscal third quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.95%, compared to 1.74% in the prior fiscal third quarter. The year-over-year increase in income from operations margin was primarily due to a shift in sales mix towards our higher-margin cloud-based solutions and Other services, as well as continued optimization of our operating expenses, including restructuring actions taken in 2023 and early 2024.

EMEA

Net sales were $3.5 billion, a decrease of 0.1% compared to the prior fiscal third quarter. The slight year-over-year decrease in EMEA net sales was primarily a result of a decrease in our Reverse Logistics and Repair business, partially offset by modest growth in other categories.

Income from operations was $66.9 million, compared to $72.2 million in the prior fiscal third quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.93%, compared to 2.08% in the prior fiscal third quarter. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily due to an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the region driven by inflationary and other factors.

Asia-Pacific

Net sales were $3.2 billion, compared to $2.9 billion in the prior fiscal third quarter. The increase in Asia-Pacific net sales was driven by net sales of client and endpoint solutions, led by growth in mobility distribution, particularly smartphones and consumer electronics.

Income from operations was $58.2 million, compared to $55.9 million in the prior fiscal third quarter.

Income from operations margin was 1.84%, compared to 1.93% in the prior fiscal third quarter. The year-over-year decrease in income from operations margin was primarily the result of a mix towards lower-margin client and endpoint solutions offset partially by improved operating expense leverage.

Latin America

Net sales were $0.9 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in the prior fiscal third quarter. The decrease in Latin American net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in net sales of client and endpoint solutions, attributed primarily to declines in mobility distribution, notebooks and consumer electronics.

Income from operations was $27.7 million, compared to $20.0 million in the prior fiscal third quarter.

Income from operations margin was 3.25%, compared to 2.00% in the prior fiscal third quarter. The year-over-year increase in income from operations margin was a result of the region's mix shift toward net sales of higher-margin cloud-based solutions.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Outlook

The following outlook is forward-looking, based on the Company’s current expectations for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024, and actual results may differ materially from what is indicated. We provide EPS guidance on a non-GAAP basis because certain information necessary to reconcile such guidance to GAAP is difficult to estimate and dependent on future events outside of our control.⁽¹⁾

	Thirteen Weeks Ended December 28, 2024
($ in millions, except per share data)	Low			High
Net sales	$	13,000		$	13,500
Gross profit		935			985
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS	$	0.85		$	0.98

Our fiscal fourth quarter 2024 guidance assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 43% on a GAAP basis and 34% on a non-GAAP basis, and 231.8 million diluted shares outstanding. The non-GAAP tax rate is inflated by approximately three percentage points as a result of certain one-time compensation impacts with limited deductibility under Section 162(m), as well as our expected level and mix of profits during the quarter. This tax rate impact will decrease non-GAAP diluted EPS by approximately $0.04 for the quarter.

⁽¹⁾ Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting financial results that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have included in this release some or all of the following non-GAAP financial measures—adjusted income from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, return on invested capital (“ROIC”), adjusted ROIC, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and non-GAAP EPS—which are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business and the underlying trends that are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are primary indicators that our management uses internally to conduct and measure its business and evaluate the performance of its consolidated operations, ongoing results, and trends. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and an alternate view of the impact of acquired businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. A material limitation associated with these non-GAAP measures as compared to the GAAP measures is that they may not be comparable to other companies with similarly titled items that present related measures differently. The non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the “Supplemental Information” section further below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP.

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)

In addition to its reported results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted income from operations, adjusted EBITDA, return on invested capital (“ROIC”), adjusted ROIC, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and non-GAAP EPS, which are defined as follows:

• Adjusted Income from Operations means income from operations plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iii) integration and transition costs and (iv) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under a corporate advisory services agreement (which has been terminated as a result of our initial public offering (“IPO”)) (such terminated agreement, the “CASA”).
• We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (calculated as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses) adjusted to give effect to (i) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (ii) net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses including net gains and losses on derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment, (iii) costs of integration, transition, and operational improvement initiatives, as well as consulting, retention and transition costs associated with our organizational effectiveness programs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses, (iv) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under the CASA, (v) cash-based compensation expense associated with our cash-based long-term incentive program for certain employees in lieu of equity-based compensation and (vi) certain other items as defined in our credit agreements.
• Return on Invested Capital is defined as net income divided by the invested capital for the period. Invested capital is equal to stockholders’ equity plus long-term debt plus short-term debt and the current maturities of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents at the end of each period.
• Adjusted Return on Invested Capital is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the invested capital for the period. Adjusted Net Income for a particular period is defined as net income plus (i) other income/expense, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iv) integration and transition costs, (v) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under the CASA, plus (vi) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) plus (vii) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on large non-recurring or discrete items.
• We define Non-GAAP Net Income as Net Income adjusted to give effect to (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) restructuring costs incurred primarily related to employee termination benefits in connection with actions to align our cost structure in certain markets, (iii) net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses including net gains and losses on derivative instruments not receiving hedge accounting treatment, (iv) costs of integration, transition, and operational improvement initiatives, as well as consulting, retention and transition costs associated with our organizational effectiveness programs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses, (v) the advisory fees paid to Platinum Advisors under the CASA, (vi) cash-based compensation expense associated with our cash-based long-term incentive program for certain employees in lieu of equity-based compensation, (vii) certain other items as defined in our credit agreements, (viii) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii), and (ix) the GAAP tax provisions for and/or valuation allowances on large non-recurring or discrete items. This metric differs from Adjusted Net Income, which is a component of Adjusted ROIC as shown below.
• We define non-GAAP basic EPS as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period presented. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP Net Income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period presented, inclusive of the dilutive effect of participating securities, of which there were none outstanding for the period presented below.

Our release contains forward-looking estimates of non-GAAP diluted EPS for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. We provide this non-GAAP measure to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) that we provide it to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate of fiscal fourth quarter 2024 GAAP diluted EPS to a forward-looking estimate of fiscal fourth quarter 2024 non-GAAP diluted EPS because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of GAAP diluted earnings per share for fiscal fourth quarter 2024 is unreasonably difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control, such as unanticipated non-recurring items not reflective of ongoing operations. In addition, we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our future financial results. Fiscal fourth quarter 2024 GAAP diluted EPS will also include the one-time impact of a $32.4 million ($0.14 per share) charge recorded in October 2024 for the conversion of the participation plan to share-based compensation for certain executives in connection with the IPO, which charge will be excluded for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted EPS, as well as Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.
