Insight Enterprises, Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter 2017 Results


TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Insight Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:NSIT) (the “Company”) today reported results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. 

  • Net sales up 16% to $1.68 billion.
  • Gross profit up 20% to $251.4 million.
  • Earnings from operations up 19% to $69.3 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share of $1.11, up 16% year over year.

In the second quarter of 2017, consolidated net sales were up 16% year over year, reflecting both solid organic growth and the addition of Datalink to our business.

Gross margin expansion and effective cost control in our core business, combined with a positive contribution from the Datalink business acquired in January 2017, led to a 19% year over year increase in consolidated earnings from operations in the second quarter of 2017.

Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.11 compared to $0.96 for the second quarter of 2016.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.14 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $0.97 reported in the second quarter of last year.*

“I am pleased to report that strong sales execution and operational discipline in a stable and growing IT market allowed us to deliver record results in the first half of 2017,” stated Ken Lamneck, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “As we head into the second half of 2017, we believe our growing cloud, data center and supply chain offerings, combined with our strong operational focus, will position us well to continue to gain market share and deliver value to our stakeholders,” stated Lamneck.

    * In discussing financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 in this press release, the Company refers to certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  When referring to non-GAAP measures, the Company refers to such measures as “Adjusted.”  Adjusted measures exclude (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) certain acquisition-related expenses, (iii) a gain on sale of real estate in the 2016 periods and (iv) the tax effects of these items.  See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.  A tabular reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release.   

The Company refers to changes in net sales, gross profit and earnings from operations on a consolidated basis and in North America, EMEA and APAC excluding the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.  In computing these changes and percentages, the Company compares the current year amount as translated into U.S. dollars under the applicable accounting standards to the prior year amount in local currency translated into U.S. dollars utilizing the weighted average translation rate for the current period.

The tax effect of Adjusted amounts referenced herein were computed using the statutory tax rate for the taxing jurisdictions in the operating segment in which the related expenses were recorded, adjusted for the effects of valuation allowances on net operating losses in certain jurisdictions.

GUIDANCE

For the full year 2017, the Company now expects its business to deliver sales growth of 17% to 19% compared to 2016.  The Company is also increasing its Adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook for the full year of 2017 to $3.15 to $3.25.

This outlook assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 38% for the balance of 2017.

This outlook also excludes severance and restructuring and acquisition-related expenses incurred during the first half of 2017 and those that may be incurred during the balance of 2017, as well as an approximate $3 million non-cash charge as a result of the sale of the Company’s Russia business in mid July 2017.  Due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting severance and restructuring and acquisition-related expenses, which impact net earnings and diluted earnings per share, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the future impact of such expenses, if any, to net earnings and diluted earnings per share.  Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year 2017 forecast. 

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST

The Company will host a conference call and live web cast today at 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss second quarter 2017 results of operations.  A live web cast of the conference call (in listen-only mode) will be available on the Company’s web site at http://nsit.client.shareholder.com/events.cfm, and a replay of the web cast will be available on the Company’s web site for a limited time following the call.  To listen to the live web cast by telephone, call 1-877-402-8904 if located in the U.S., 678-809-1029 for international callers, and enter the access code 58891539. NSIT-F

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures (referred to as Adjusted consolidated earnings from operations, Adjusted consolidated net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share) exclude (i) severance and restructuring expenses, (ii) certain acquisition-related expenses, (iii) a gain on sale of real estate in the 2016 periods and (iv) the tax effects of these items.  The Company excludes these items when internally evaluating earnings from operations, tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the Company and earnings from operations for each of the Company’s operating segments.  These non-GAAP measures are used to evaluate financial performance against budgeted amounts, to calculate incentive compensation, to assist in forecasting future performance and to compare the Company’s results to those of the Company’s competitors.  The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency, facilitate comparisons to prior periods and the Company’s competitors’ results and assist in forecasting performance for future periods.  These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
