Third Quarter 2015

On a GAAP basis, revenues for the quarter totaled $579.3 million, down $31.5 million, or 5.2%, compared to $610.8 million in the third quarter 2014.

Operating profit margin in the third quarter was 6.0%, decreasing 350 basis points from 9.5% in the year-ago period. Income from continuing operations per diluted share totaled $0.35, compared to $0.77 in the third quarter 2014.

Adjusted revenues for the quarter totaled $590.1 million, declining $23.0 million, or 3.8%, compared to $613.1 million in the third quarter 2014.

John Stroup, president and CEO of Belden Inc., said, “The quarter was as we expected. Soft demand in our industrial markets, driven by a strong U.S. dollar and lower oil prices, was offset by robust demand for our Enterprise, Broadband, and Network Security solutions. I’m very pleased with our team’s ability to execute in a challenging environment, as evidenced by continued margin expansion and strong free cash flow.”

Outlook

“Despite a challenging economic environment, the business is benefitting from a number of favorable secular trends that we expect will continue the remainder of this year and next. Moreover, our ability to capture share and drive productivity provide us with the confidence to guide full-year earnings growth in the range of 13% to 16%. We expect free cash flow in the fourth quarter to be robust,” said Stroup.

The Company expects fourth quarter 2015 adjusted revenues to be $595 – $615 million and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share to be $1.45 – $1.55. For the full year ending December 31, 2015, the Company now expects adjusted revenues to be $2.353 – $2.373 billion compared to the previously guided range of $2.360 – $2.390 billion. The expected range of adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share is now $4.80 – $4.90 compared to the previously guided range of $4.70 – $4.90.

CONSOLIDATED RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we provide non-GAAP operating results adjusted for certain items, including: asset impairments; accelerated depreciation expense due to plant consolidation activities; purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory and deferred revenue to fair value and transaction costs; revenue and cost of sales deferrals for certain acquired product lines subject to software revenue recognition accounting requirements; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of businesses and tangible assets; amortization of intangible assets; gains (losses) on debt extinguishment; discontinued operations; and other costs. We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

FREE CASH FLOW

(Unaudited)

We define free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposal of tangible assets, and cash payments for severance and other costs for the integration of our 2014 acquisition of Grass Valley. We believe free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases. We use free cash flow, as defined, as one financial measure to monitor and evaluate performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only in conjunction with financial measures reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our definition of free cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
