CDW Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results
Achieves Record Net Sales
Second quarter 2012 highlights:
VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 1, 2012--CDW Corporation, a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to business, government, education and healthcare, today announced second quarter 2012 results.
“The combined power of CDW’s diversified sales channels and broad solutions portfolio was evident once again as we grew faster than market estimates within the second quarter’s more challenging economic environment,” said Thomas E. Richards, chief executive officer of CDW. “Continuing the trend we saw over the past two quarters, sales growth was led by strong performances in our Healthcare and Government customer channels. Both our Canadian operations and Advanced Services business, which includes professional engineering, hosting and data center services, grew faster than 20 percent and together represented six percent of total sales.”
“Our strategy to invest in an expanded solutions suite and enhanced selling and delivery capabilities is paying off. Network communications equipment, a key component in many integrated solutions, was the leading product category contributor to second quarter net sales growth. Network management, virtualization and security software were CDW’s top three fastest growers for second quarter software net sales.”
“We maintained excellent profitability in this more challenging environment. Adjusted EBITDA grew seven percent even as we absorbed our investment in nearly 500 new coworkers since last year’s second quarter to support our growth goals.”
“Our priorities for 2012 remain unchanged,” continued Richards. “We intend to outpace market growth in 2012 through our enhanced solutions offerings, disciplined investment in additional sales and service delivery capabilities and continuous enhancement in our core business. These priorities will help ensure we continue to deliver easy-to-access, easy-to-use and technology-agnostic solutions to our more than 250,000 customers across North America and generate profitable growth,” concluded Richards.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, net sales increased 7.2 percent compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit increased 6.5 percent for the quarter, with a gross profit margin of 16.5 percent versus 16.6 percent in the second quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.0 percent driven by higher net sales, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.8 percent of net sales, the same as the second quarter of 2011. Coworker count was 6,909 as of June 30, 2012, 477 coworkers higher than June 30, 2011.
Second Quarter of 2012 Highlights:
Total net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $2.585 billion compared to $2.412 billion in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 7.2 percent. Average daily sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $40.4 million compared to $37.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing a 7.2 percent increase. There were 64 selling days in both the second quarter of 2012 and 2011.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $426.9 million compared to $400.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 6.5 percent. Gross profit margin was 16.5 percent in the second quarter of 2012, versus 16.6 percent for the same period of 2011, as reduced vendor funding as a percentage of sales was partially offset by the reversal of a reserve accrual due to a favorable vendor audit outcome.
Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $290.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $272.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 6.6 percent. This increase was primarily due to increased sales commissions and other variable compensation costs consistent with increased sales and gross profit, as well as incremental sellers and specialists coworkers and increased advertising expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $200.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $187.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 7.0 percent. Second quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA margin was flat versus last year’s second quarter at 7.8 percent.
Net Income was $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, up from 2011’s second quarter net loss of $34.8 million, which included a pre-tax $115.7 million charge for debt extinguishment related to the repurchase and refinancing of debt and an associated $19.4 million reduction in interest expense.
First Six Months of 2012 Highlights:
Total net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $4.904 billion compared to $4.542 billion in the first six months of 2011, an increase of 8.0 percent. Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 was $811.5 million compared to $751.2 million in the first six months of 2011, representing an increase of 8.0 percent.
Total selling and administrative expenses, including advertising expense, were $571.5 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $531.3 million in the first six months of 2011, representing an increase of 7.6 percent. Adjusted EBITDA was $367.0 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $343.0 million in the first six months of 2011, representing an increase of 7.0 percent.
Net Income was $47.7 million for the first six months of 2012 versus the first six months of 2011 net loss of $39.0 million, which included a pre-tax $118.9 million charge for debt extinguishment related to the repurchase and refinancing of debt and an associated $19.4 million reduction in interest expense.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA |
(dollars in millions) |
(unaudited) |
We have included reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure defined in our credit agreements, means EBITDA adjusted for certain items which are described in the table below. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide helpful information with respect to our operating performance and cash flows including our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. Adjusted EBITDA also provides helpful information as it is the primary measure used in certain financial covenants contained in our credit agreements. |
