Knowles Corporation (NYSE: KN), a market leader and global supplier of advanced micro-acoustic, audio processing, and specialty component solutions, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
“We delivered Q4 revenue growth of 8 percent that was at the high end of our guidance range, and record cash flow,” said Jeffrey Niew, president and CEO of Knowles. “Mobile consumer sales were better than expected driven by stronger MEMS microphone demand from North American and Chinese OEMs, and specialty components revenues were in line with expectations. Overall, I am pleased with our financial performance in 2016 as well as our ability to deliver on our prior full year financial targets; including year over year revenue growth, non-GAAP gross margins of 39 percent, and exiting 2016 at a non-GAAP SG&A run rate of less than $140 million per year.”
“As we look to 2017, we believe that improved voice and audio quality and voice as a user interface are two important trends in the market that are driving the need for our audio solutions. Our capabilities in acoustics, signal processing and software are enabling us to deliver audio solutions for the Mobile, Ear and IoT markets. While we are conservative with our Q1 expectations due to the timing of a major customer product launch, we expect that multi-mic adoption, new customer platforms and higher value solutions will drive full year 2017 revenue growth in the mid-single digit range, expand operating margins, and increase EPS over 2016 levels,” continued Niew.
Financial Highlights
The following highlights the Company’s financial performance on both a GAAP and supplemental non-GAAP basis for continuing operations* (in millions except for per share data):
| Sequential | Year Ago | ||||||||||
| Q4FY16 | Q3FY16 | Q4FY15 | Change | Period Change | |||||||
| Revenue | $240.6 | $243.1 | $223.5 | (1)% | 8% | ||||||
| Gross Profit | $94.0 | $94.9 | $81.1 | (1)% | 16% | ||||||
| (as % of revenue) | 39.1% | 39.0% | 36.3% | ||||||||
| Non-GAAP Gross Profit | $94.4 | $95.7 | $92.6 | (1)% | 2% | ||||||
| (as % of revenue) | 39.2% | 39.4% | 41.4% | ||||||||
| Diluted Earnings (Loss) per share** | $0.19 | $0.24 | $(0.07) | (21)% | NM*** | ||||||
| Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share | $0.35 | $0.37 | $0.29 | (5)% | 21% |
* Continuing operations excludes the results of our speaker and receiver product line which was sold on July 7, 2016.
** Current period results include $5.3 million in stock-based compensation, $2.8 million from amortization of intangibles, $1.1 million in restructuring charges, and $0.2 million in production transfer costs.
*** Not Meaningful
In addition to the GAAP results included in this press release, Knowles has presented supplemental non-GAAP gross profit, earnings before interest and income taxes, adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes, non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share, as well as other metrics on a non-GAAP basis that exclude certain amounts that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure to facilitate evaluation of Knowles’ operating performance. Non-GAAP results are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Knowles uses non-GAAP measures as supplements to its GAAP results of operations in evaluating certain aspects of its business, and its executive management team focuses on non-GAAP items as key measures of Knowles’ performance for business planning purposes. These measures assist Knowles in comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles’ opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, stock-based compensation, certain intangibles amortization expense, fixed asset impairment charges, restructuring, production transfer costs, and other charges which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Knowles believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Knowles uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the reconciliation table accompanying this release.
First Quarter 2017 Outlook
The forward looking guidance for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 on a continuing operations basis is as follows:

| EPS | $(0.06) to $0.00 | $0.14 | $0.08 to $0.14 |

Notes: | |
| (1) In addition to the GAAP financial measures included herein, Knowles has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures. Knowles uses non-GAAP measures as supplements to its GAAP results of operations in evaluating certain aspects of its business, and its executive management team focuses on non-GAAP items as key measures of Knowles' performance for business planning purposes. These measures assist Knowles in comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in Knowles' opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance. Knowles believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Knowles uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance. | |
(2) Production transfer costs represent duplicate costs incurred to migrate manufacturing to new or existing facilities in Asia. These amounts are included in the corresponding Gross profit, Selling and administrative expenses, Operating expenses and Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest and income taxes for each period presented. | |
(3) Other primarily represents expenses related to the Audience acquisition. | |
| (4) In 2016, Other loss (gain) primarily represents a gain on the sale of investment related to a non-controlling interest in a MEMS timing device company partially offset by expenses related to the Audience acquisition. In 2015, Other loss (gain) represents expenses related to the Audience acquisition. | |
| (5) Under GAAP, the accounting for the Company's convertible debt instrument requires separate consideration of the debt and conversion option components of the instrument in a manner that reflects a nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes we are required to recognize imputed interest expense on the Company’s $172.5 million of convertible senior notes due 2021 that were issued in a private placement in May 2016. The imputed interest rate was 8.12% for the convertible notes due 2021, while the actual coupon interest rate of the notes was 3.25%. The difference between the imputed interest expense and the coupon interest expense is excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance because management believes that this non-cash expense is not indicative of its core, ongoing operating performance. | |
| (6) The Non-GAAP reconciling adjustments are those adjustments made to reconcile Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest and income taxes to Adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest and income taxes. | |
| (7) The number of shares used in the diluted per share calculations on a non-GAAP basis excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method. | |
