    Operating earnings per share increase to 84¢ from 71¢ in prior year.

    Annual revenue and earnings guidance increased.
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, August 3, 2010 - Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX) today reported results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 ended July 3, 2010.
For the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, diluted earnings per share were 75¢ on net income of $13.1 million or 5.0% of revenues compared to diluted earnings per share of 44¢ on net income of $7.8 million or 3.3% of revenues for the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter comparison basis, fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 diluted earnings per share were 43¢ on net income of $7.5 million or 3.1% of revenues. Excluding reconciling items, operating earnings per share (which is a non-GAAP term and is defined below) for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 were 84¢ on operating net income (which is a non-GAAP term and is defined below) of $14.7 million or 5.6% of revenues compared to operating earnings per share of 71¢ on operating net income of $12.4 million or 5.3% of revenues for the same quarter last year.
For the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, the Company’s pre-tax reconciling items were $2.6 million with an after-tax impact on net income and EPS of $1.6 million and 9¢, respectively. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company’s pre-tax reconciling items were $7.4 million with an after-tax impact on net income and EPS of $4.6 million and 27¢, respectively. See below for further discussion regarding Management’s use of non-GAAP accounting measurements and a detailed presentation of the Company’s pre-tax reconciling items for the periods presented above.
First quarter of Fiscal 2011 total revenues were $264 million, an increase of $29 million or 12% from $235 million for the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter comparison basis, fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 total revenues were $241 million.
First quarter of Fiscal 2011 cash provided by operating activities was $1 million or 9% of net income, compared to $16 million or 206% of net income for the same quarter last year. First quarter of Fiscal 2011 free cash flow (which is a non-GAAP term and is defined below) was $0.2 million compared to $16 million for the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter comparison basis, fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 cash provided by operating activities was $20 million or 264% of net income and free cash flow was $18 million. Management believes that free cash flow, defined by the Company as cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures, plus proceeds from stock option exercises, plus or minus foreign currency translation adjustments, is an important measurement of liquidity as it represents the total cash available to the Company.
The Company’s six-month order backlog was $229 million at July 3, 2010 compared to $210 million for the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter-end comparison basis, the Company’s six-month order backlog was $203 million at March 31, 2010.

For Fiscal 2011, the Company is targeting reported revenues of approximately $1.025 billion to $1.04 billion and corresponding operating earnings per share in the range of $3.10 to $3.25. Included in these projections is an effective tax rate of 38.0%. For the second quarter of Fiscal 2011, the Company is targeting reported revenues of approximately $255 million to $260 million and corresponding operating earnings per share in the range of 76¢ to 81¢.
All of the above exclude acquisition-related expense and the impact of changes in the fair market value of the Company’s interest-rate swaps, and all of the above are before any new mergers and acquisition activity that has not been announced.
Commenting on the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 results and the second quarter of Fiscal 2011 outlook, Terry Blakemore, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “The Black Box team delivered another strong quarter, with increased revenue, double digit earnings growth and record backlog. We are encouraged by the increase in business activity that we have observed across multiple sectors.”
“Our commitment to providing our clients with world class technical solutions has positioned us to benefit as those clients continue to increase their investment in their communications infrastructure. The first quarter results strengthen our confidence that Black Box will continue to profitably grow year over year, as demonstrated by the increase in our revenue and earnings guidance. We continue to invest our resources strategically with the goal of continued organic growth and through strategic acquisitions.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As a supplement to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company provides non-GAAP financial measures such as free cash flow, cash provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments (see below for reference), operating net income, operating earnings per share (“EPS”), Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and same-office revenue comparisons to illustrate the Company’s operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided Management explanations regarding their use and the usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures, definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided below.
The Company’s management (“Management”) uses non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance as well as its performance relative to its competitors, (b) to set internal sales targets and associated operating budgets, (c) to allocate resources, (d) to measure operational profitability and (e) as an important factor in determining variable compensation for Management and its team members. Moreover, the Company has historically reported these non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information with past reports of financial results.
While Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The limitations include (i) the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation, (ii) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain non-cash amortization of intangible assets on acquisitions, however, they do not specifically exclude the added benefits of these costs, such as revenue and contributing operating margin, (iii) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash asset write-up depreciation expense on acquisitions related to acquisitions made during recent years which is derived from the book value to fair market value write-up on acquired assets, (iv) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude the non-cash change in fair value of the Company’s interest-rate swaps which will continue to impact the Company’s earnings until the interest-rate swaps are settled, (v) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs for employee severance and facility consolidations (“employee severance and facility consolidation costs”) incurred during the periods reported in an attempt to right-size the organization and more appropriately align the expense structure with anticipated revenues and changing market demand for its solutions and services that will impact future operating results, (vi) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude historical stock option granting practices investigation and related matters costs, including costs associated with the related Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigation, shareholder derivative lawsuit, tax matters and insurance/indemnification matters, (vii) the non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs of settlement or resolution arising from current legal matters associated with the ongoing operations of the Company (“current legal matters costs”) and (viii) there is no assurance the excluded items in the non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measurements, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is defined by the Company as cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures, plus or minus foreign currency translation adjustments, plus proceeds from stock option exercises. Management’s reasons for exclusion of each item are explained in further detail below.
Net capital expenditures
The Company believes net capital expenditures must be taken into account along with cash provided by operating activities to more properly reflect the actual cash available to the Company. Net capital expenditures are typically material and directly impact the availability of the Company’s operating cash. Net capital expenditures are comprised of capital expenditures and capital disposals.
Foreign currency exchange impact on cash
Due to the size of the Company’s international operations, and the ability of the Company to utilize cash generated from foreign operations locally without the need to convert such currencies to U.S. dollars on a regular basis, the Company believes that it is appropriate to adjust its operating cash flows to take into account the positive and/or negative impact of such adjustments as such adjustment provides an appropriate measure of the availability of the Company’s operating cash on a world-wide basis. A limitation of adjusting cash flows to account for the foreign currency impact is that it may not provide an accurate measure of cash available in U.S. dollars.

Proceeds from stock option exercises
The Company believes that proceeds from stock option exercises should be added to cash provided by operating activities to more accurately reflect the actual cash available to the Company. The Company has demonstrated a recurring inflow of cash related to its stock-based compensation plans and, since this cash is immediately available to the Company, it directly impacts the availability of the Company’s operating cash. The amount of proceeds from stock option exercises is dependent upon a number of variables, including the number and exercise price of outstanding options and the trading price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the timing of stock option exercises is under the control of the individual option holder and is not in the control of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any proceeds from stock option exercises.

Cash provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments
Cash provided by operating activities excluding restructuring payments is defined by the Company as cash provided by operating activities plus restructuring payments. Restructuring payments are the cash payments made during the period for employee severance and facility consolidation costs. The Company believes that restructuring payments should be added to cash provided by operating activities to more accurately reflect the cash flow from operations.

Operating net income and operating earnings per share
Management believes that operating net income, defined by the Company as net income plus reconciling items, and operating EPS, defined as operating net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding (diluted), provide investors additional important information to enable them to assess, in a way Management assesses, the Company’s current and future operations. Reconciling items include amortization of intangible assets on acquisitions, asset write-up depreciation expense on acquisitions, the change in fair value of the interest-rate swaps, employee severance and facility consolidation costs, historical stock option granting practices investigation and related matters costs and current legal matters costs. Management’s reason for exclusion of each item is explained in further detail below.
Amortization of intangible assets on acquisitions
The Company incurs non-cash amortization expense from intangible assets related to various acquisitions it has made in recent years. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by Management after the acquisition.

Asset write-up depreciation expense on acquisitions
The Company incurs non-cash asset write-up depreciation expense on acquisitions related to acquisitions made during recent years. Specifically, this non-cash expenditure is derived from the book value to fair market value write-up on acquired assets. Asset write-ups are depreciated over their remaining useful life which generally falls between one to five years. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs are fixed from acquisition to the end of the asset’s useful life and generally cannot be changed or influenced by Management after the acquisition.
Change in fair value of the interest-rate swaps
To mitigate the risk of interest-rate fluctuations associated with the Company’s variable rate debt, the Company entered into two separate interest-rate swaps (“interest-rate swaps”) that do not qualify as a cash flow hedge. Thus, the Company records the change in fair value of the interest-rate swaps as an asset/liability within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with the offset to Interest expense (income) within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Management excludes this non-cash expense and the related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs generally cannot be changed or influenced by Management.
Employee severance and facility consolidation costs
The Company believes that incurring costs in the current period(s) in an attempt to right-size the organization and more appropriately align the expense structure with anticipated revenues and changing market demand for its solutions and services will result in a long-term positive impact on financial performance in the future. Employee severance and facility consolidation costs are presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. However, due to the amount of additional costs incurred during a single or possibly successive periods, Management believes that exclusion of these costs and their related tax impact provides a more accurate reflection of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Historical stock option granting practices investigation and related matters costs
The Company incurs costs in connection with its investigation of historical stock option granting practices, including the related SEC investigation, shareholder derivative lawsuit, tax matters and insurance/indemnification matters. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs are generally non-recurring and cannot be changed or influenced by Management.
Current legal matters costs
The Company incurs costs arising from current legal matters associated with the ongoing operations of the Company. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP financial measures when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs are generally non-recurring and cannot be changed or influenced by Management.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes that EBITDA, defined as Net income plus provision for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, is a widely accepted measure of profitability that may be used to measure the Company’s ability to service its debt. Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense, may also be used to measure the Company’s ability to service its debt. Stock-based compensation is an integral part of ongoing operations since it is considered similar to other types of compensation to employees. However, Management believes that varying levels of stock-based compensation expense could result in misleading period-over-period comparisons and is providing an adjusted disclosure which excludes stock-based compensation.

Same-office revenue comparisons
Management is presented with and reviews revenues on a same-office basis which excludes the effects of revenues from acquisitions. While the information provided below is presented on a consolidated basis, all of the revenue from offices added as shown below relates to Voice Services in the Company’s North America segment. Reported same-office comparisons of consolidated revenues, therefore, can be determined by excluding the revenues for Voice Services in the Company’s North America segment from offices added since 4/1/09 (for comparison of 1Q11 to 1Q10) or 12/27/09 (for comparison of 1Q11 to 4Q10) as shown below.
