Sanmina's First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
- None.
- None.
Insights
Revenue and Earnings Analysis: Sanmina Corporation's financial results exhibit a stable revenue base at $1.87 billion with a solid GAAP operating margin of 4.7% and a non-GAAP operating margin of 5.5%. The diluted earnings per share (EPS) figures—$0.98 on a GAAP basis and $1.30 on a non-GAAP basis—indicate robust profitability. The non-GAAP measures, which exclude certain one-time and non-cash expenses, provide investors with an alternative view of the company's performance, often considered to better represent the ongoing economic value.
Cash Flow and Shareholder Returns: The reported cash flow from operations of $126 million and ending cash and cash equivalents of $632 million suggest a healthy liquidity position. The share repurchase activity, involving 2.1 million shares for $106 million, reflects a shareholder-friendly capital allocation policy and a management perspective that the stock may be undervalued.
Return on Invested Capital: The non-GAAP pre-tax return on invested capital (ROIC) of 22.7% is particularly impressive, signaling efficient use of capital in generating profits. This figure is a critical metric for assessing the long-term value creation potential of the company and is likely above industry average, warranting investor attention.
Market Position and Strategy: The CEO's confidence in the market-focused strategy and the positioning for long-term financial success is noteworthy. The flat outlook for the upcoming quarter, with expected revenue between $1.825 billion and $1.925 billion and EPS in the range of $0.95 to $1.05 on a GAAP basis and $1.20 to $1.30 on a non-GAAP basis, suggests a calculated forecast without significant growth. However, the anticipation of sequential improvement in the second half of the fiscal year indicates potential upcoming catalysts or market conditions expected to favor the company's growth trajectory.
Industry Context: The manufacturing solutions sector is highly competitive and subject to global economic fluctuations. Sanmina's performance must be contextualized within broader industry trends, including supply chain dynamics, raw material costs and international trade relations. The company's ability to maintain stable margins in such an environment is indicative of strong operational management and resilience.
Broader Economic Implications: Sanmina's results and outlook may reflect broader economic trends, such as the state of manufacturing, consumer demand for electronics and capital expenditure cycles. The stability in their financial outlook, despite potential macroeconomic headwinds, suggests that the company is managing its resources effectively and may be well-positioned to navigate economic volatility. The forward-looking statements regarding the second half of the fiscal year's improvement could hint at an anticipated economic upturn or greater market demand for their services.
Investment Considerations: Investors should consider the implications of the company's financial health within the context of the overall economy. A stable to improving revenue outlook and strong ROIC are positive signs; however, the true test will be the company's ability to execute its strategy amidst economic uncertainties and to deliver on its projected second-half improvement.

Schedule 1
The statements above and financial information provided in this earnings release include non-GAAP measures of operating income, operating margin, net income, diluted earnings per share and pre-tax return on invested capital. Management excludes from these measures stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and integration expenses, impairment charges, amortization charges and other unusual or infrequent items, as adjusted for taxes, as more fully described below.
Management excludes these items principally because such charges or benefits are not directly related to the Company's ongoing core business operations. We use such non-GAAP measures in order to (1) make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operations, both internally and externally, (2) guide management in assessing the performance of the business, internally allocating resources and making decisions in furtherance of Company's strategic plan, (3) provide investors with a better understanding of how management plans and measures the business and (4) provide investors with a better understanding of our ongoing, core business. The material limitations to management's approach include the fact that the charges, benefits and expenses excluded are nonetheless charges, benefits and expenses required to be recognized under GAAP and, in some cases, consume cash which reduces the Company's liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by reviewing GAAP results to obtain a complete picture of the Company's performance and by including a reconciliation of non-GAAP results to GAAP results in its earnings releases.
Additional information regarding the economic substance of each exclusion, management's use of the resultant non-GAAP measures, the material limitations of management's approach and management's methods for compensating for such limitations is provided below.
Stock-based Compensation Expense, which consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of equity awards granted to employees and directors, is excluded in order to permit more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's results since the Company grants different amounts and value of equity awards each quarter. In addition, given the fact that competitors grant different amounts and types of equity awards and may use different valuation assumptions, excluding stock-based compensation permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors.
Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Expenses, which consist of employee severance, lease termination costs, exit costs, environmental investigation, remediation and related employee costs and other charges primarily related to closing and consolidating manufacturing facilities and those associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, are excluded because such charges (1) can be driven by the timing of acquisitions and exit activities which are difficult to predict, (2) are not directly related to ongoing business results and (3) generally do not reflect expected future operating expenses. In addition, given the fact that the Company's competitors complete acquisitions and adopt restructuring plans at different times and in different amounts than the Company, excluding these charges or benefits permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors. Items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company's competitors and restructuring and integration expenses include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company's liquidity. Therefore, management also reviews GAAP results including these amounts.
Impairment Charges for Goodwill and Other Assets, which consist of non-cash charges, are excluded because such charges are non-recurring and do not reduce the Company's liquidity. In addition, given the fact that the Company's competitors may record impairment charges at different times, excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors.
Amortization Charges, which consist of non-cash charges impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions of businesses or assets, are also excluded because such charges do not reduce the Company's liquidity. In addition, such charges can be driven by the timing of acquisitions, which is difficult to predict. Excluding these charges permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors because the Company's competitors complete acquisitions at different times and for different amounts than the Company.
Other Unusual or Infrequent Items, such as charges or benefits associated with distressed customers, expenses, charges and recoveries relating to certain legal matters, and gains and losses on sales of assets, are excluded because such items are typically non-recurring, difficult to predict or not directly related to the Company's ongoing or core operations and are therefore not considered by management in assessing the current operating performance of the Company and forecasting earnings trends. However, items excluded by the Company may be different from those excluded by the Company's competitors. In addition, these items include both cash and non-cash expenses. Cash expenses reduce the Company's liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations by reviewing GAAP results including these amounts.
Adjustments for Taxes, which consist of the tax effects of the various adjustments that we exclude from our non-GAAP measures, and adjustments related to deferred tax and discrete tax items. Including these adjustments permits more accurate comparisons of the Company's core results with those of its competitors. We determine the tax adjustments based upon the various applicable effective tax rates. In those jurisdictions in which we do not expect to realize a tax cost or benefit (due to a history of operating losses or other factors), a reduced tax rate is applied.
