Read MoreHide Full Article
SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) delivered stellar first-quarter fiscal 2021 results, wherein the top and bottom lines surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate and marked year-over-year improvements as well. The company’s fiscal first-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $1.89 per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.63 and improved 33.1% year over year.
Revenues grew to $4.94 billion from the year-earlier quarter’s $4.08 billion. The top-line figure also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.71 billion.
Strong demand for the company’s technology products and services drove the top line. Moreover, steady recovery in the IT spending environment on the back of rapid digital transformation was a positive.
Merger With Tech Data
Importantly, SYNNEX also announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with technology solutions provider, Tech Data. The $7.2-billion transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021.
Notably, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.5 billion and combined debt is anticipated to be approximately $4 billion at the time of the close of the transaction.
Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to increase more than 25% in the first year after the close of the deal, with further accretion expected in the second year. Also, the combined company expects to generate net optimization and synergy benefits of $100 million in the first year after closing and achieve at least $200 million by the end of the second year.
SYNNEX’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 55% of the combined company and Apollo Funds are expected to own approximately 45%.
SYNNEX Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Further, the company stated that it has split its Concentrix business into a separate publicly-traded company on Dec 1, 2020. With this separation, SYNNEX is now left with its Technology Solution business. The separated business has been named Concentrix Corporation (CNXC - Free Report) . Management believes this strategic action would help add shareholder value and enhance the company's competitive edge.
To reflect the separation, data from the prior-year quarter have been adjusted in order to make more accurate year-on-year comparisons.
Gross profit grew 19.4% year over year to $304.6 million, while margin contracted 10 basis points (bps) to 6.2%. Total selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $162.8 million from the year-ago quarter’s $154.7 million.
In the reported quarter, non-GAAP operating income was up 35% to $156 million. Also, non-GAAP operating margin expanded 33 bps on a year-over-year basis to 3.16%.
SYNNEX ended the fiscal first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1.44 billion compared with $1.41 billion witnessed at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter.
During the fiscal first quarter, the company generated $25 million of cash flow from continuing operations and $20.7 million of free cash flow from continuing operations.
Additionally, the company announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 20 cents per share. The newly-approved dividend will be payable on Apr 30 to shareholders of record as of Apr 16, 2021.
Guidance
For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, revenues are expected between $4.7 billion and $5 billion.
Non-GAAP net income is estimated in the range of $94.9-$105 million. Moreover, the company projects non-GAAP earnings between $1.80 and $2 per share.
The long-term earnings growth rate for Skyworks Solutions and Vishay Intertechnology are currently pegged at 18.98% and 20.26%, respectively.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce ""the world's first trillionaires,"" but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
