Celestica announces second quarter financial results

29 July 2006

-------------------- - Revenue of $2,224 million,


up 15% from the first quarter, down 1% year-over-year - GAAP loss of ($0.13) per share compared to net earnings of $0.06 per share last year - Adjusted net earnings of $0.13 per share compared to $0.17 a year ago - Q3


revenue guidance of $2.15 - $2.35 billion, adjusted EPS of $0.12 - $0.20


TORONTO, July 27 - Celestica Inc. (NYSE and TSX: CLS), a world leader in electronics manufacturing services (EMS), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.


Revenue was $2,224 million, down 1% from $2,251 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the second quarter was ($30.3) million or ($0.13) per share, compared to GAAP net earnings of $12.6 million or $0.06 per share for the same period last year. Included in GAAP net loss for the quarter are charges of $20 million associated with previously announced restructuring plans and a $33 million non-cash loss associated with the sale of the company's plastics business in the quarter.


Adjusted net earnings for the quarter were $29.1 million or $0.13 per share compared to $39.8 million or $0.17 per share for the same period last year. Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares and debt, integration costs related to acquisitions, option expense, option exchange costs and other charges, net of tax and significant deferred tax write-offs (detailed GAAP financial statements and supplementary information related to adjusted net earnings appear at the end of this press release). These results compare with the company's guidance for the second quarter, announced on April 27, 2006, of revenue of $2.05 to $2.25 billion and adjusted net earnings per share of $0.08 to $0.16.


For the six months ended June 30, 2006, revenue was $4,158 million compared to $4,401 million for the same period in 2005. Net loss on a GAAP basis was ($47.7) million or ($0.21) per share compared to net earnings of $1.0 million or $0.00 per share last year. Adjusted net earnings for the first half of 2006 were $46.5 million or $0.20 per share compared to adjusted net earnings of $73.2 million or $0.32 per share for the same period in 2005.


"The sequential revenue growth reflects the growing benefits from our focus on revenue diversification," said Steve Delaney, CEO, Celestica. "With a backdrop of stable end markets, improved efficiencies in our high growth facilities, ramping new programs, and the completion of our restructuring activities, we are confident in continued revenue growth and stronger margins throughout 2006."


Outlook


-------


For the third quarter ending September 30, 2006, the company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $2.15 billion to $2.35 billion, and adjusted earnings per share ranging from $0.12 to $0.20. The revenue outlook reflects a stable end market environment as well as additional volume from ramping new programs. The anticipated improvement in adjusted earnings is being driven by continued benefits from our restructuring activities and increased efficiencies in our Mexico and European operations.


Supplementary Information


-------------------------


In addition to disclosing detailed results in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Celestica also provides supplementary non-GAAP measures as a method to evaluate the company's operating performance.


Management uses adjusted net earnings as a measure of enterprise-wide performance. As a result of acquisitions made by the company, restructuring activities, securities repurchases and the adoption of fair value accounting for stock options, management believes adjusted net earnings is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons and allows the company to compare its operating results with its competitors in the U.S. and Asia. Adjusted net earnings excludes the effects of acquisition-related charges (most significantly, amortization of intangible assets and integration costs related to acquisitions), other charges (most significantly, restructuring costs and the write-down of goodwill and long-lived assets), gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or debt, option expense and option exchange costs, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments and any significant deferred tax write-offs. Adjusted net earnings does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted net earnings is not a measure of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings (loss) prepared in accordance with Canadian or U.S. GAAP. The company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to Canadian GAAP net earnings (loss) below.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)


(unaudited)


1. Nature of business:


Our primary operations consist of providing a broad range of electronic


product solutions such as design and engineering, manufacturing and


systems integration, fulfillment and after-market solutions to customers


in the computing and communications industries and, increasingly, in the


aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer and industrial end markets.


We have operations in Asia, the Americas and Europe.


We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted


accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada with a reconciliation to


accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, disclosed


in note 20 to the 2005 annual consolidated financial statements.


2. Significant accounting policies:


The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim consolidated


financial statements do not include all requirements of Canadian GAAP for


annual financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated


financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2005 annual


consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated


financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal


recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to


present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2006 and the results


of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30,


2005 and 2006. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements


are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and


described in the 2005 annual consolidated financial statements.


3. Acquisitions and divestitures:


As part of the acquisition of Manufacturers' Services Limited (MSL) in


2004, we recorded liabilities for consolidating some of the acquired MSL


sites. These liabilities are detailed in the chart below. The remaining


liability for employee termination costs at June 30, 2006 relates to


employees terminated in 2005 who are receiving their severance amounts


over a period of time in accordance with local regulations. We will


continue to draw down this accrual throughout 2006 as these payments are


made. Our long-term lease and contractual obligations will be paid out


over the remaining lease terms through 2010. Cash outlays are funded from


cash on hand. We record the restructuring liability in accrued


liabilities. Details of the activity through the MSL restructuring


liability are as follows:

2005 acquisition activities:


In the third quarter of 2005, we completed the acquisitions of CoreSim


Inc. and Ramnish Electronics Private Limited. In the fourth quarter of


2005, we completed the acquisition of Displaytronix Inc. The total


aggregate cash purchase price for these acquisitions was $6.5, including


indebtedness assumed.


2006 acquisition activity:


In March 2006, we acquired certain assets located in the Philippines from


Powerwave Technologies, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $19.1.


Amortizable intangible assets arising from this acquisition were $7.6,


primarily for customer relationships and contract intangibles.


2006 divestiture:


In June 2006, we sold our plastics business for net cash proceeds of


$18.5. We reported our plastics business as part of our Asia segment.


During the quarter, we reported a loss on sale of $33.2 which we recorded


as other charges (see note 6). The $20.0 in goodwill in the plastics


business represents a significant portion of the reported loss.


As part of the sale agreement, we provided routine indemnities to the


purchaser which management believes would not have a material adverse


effect on our results of operations, financial position or our liquidity.

(a) We have a 364-day credit facility for $600.0 which matures in June


2007. The facility includes a $25.0 swing-line facility that provides


for short-term borrowings up to a maximum of seven days. The credit


facility permits us and certain designated subsidiaries to borrow


funds for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions).


Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin


except that borrowings under the swing-line facility bear interest at


a base rate plus a margin. There are no borrowings outstanding under


this facility. Commitment fees for the first half of 2006 were $1.4.


The facility has restrictive covenants relating to debt incurrence


and sale of assets and also contains financial covenants that require


us to maintain certain financial ratios. A change of control is an


event of default. Based on the required minimum financial ratios at


June 30, 2006, we are limited to approximately $120 of available debt


incurrence. The available debt incurrence under the facility has been


reduced by covenants relating to the two subordinated note issuances


and outstanding letters of credit and guarantees. We were in


compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2006.


(b) In June 2004, we issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 with an


aggregate principal amount of $500.0, and a fixed interest rate of


7.875%. We incurred $12.0 in underwriting commissions and expenses


which we deferred and are amortizing over the term of the debt. The


2011 Notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to


all our senior debt. We may redeem the 2011 Notes on July 1, 2008 or


later at various premiums above face value.


In connection with the 2011 Notes offering, we entered into


agreements which swap the fixed interest rate with a variable


interest rate based on LIBOR plus a margin. The average interest rate


on the 2011 Notes was 8.0% for the second quarter of 2006 and 7.8%


for the first half of 2006 (6.1% - second quarter of 2005; 5.8% -


first half of 2005).


(c) In June 2005, we issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 with an


aggregate principal amount of $250.0, and a fixed interest rate of


7.625%. We incurred $4.2 in underwriting commissions and expenses


which we deferred and are amortizing over the term of the debt. The


2013 Notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to


all our senior debt. We may redeem the 2013 Notes on July 1, 2009 or


later at various premiums above face value.


5. Convertible debt:


During the third quarter of 2005, we repurchased the remaining


outstanding LYONs and recorded gains on the principal component through


other charges and losses on the option component through deficit. After


the third quarter of 2005, we have not recorded any accretion charges


related to the LYONs.

(a) 2001 to 2004 restructuring:


In 2001, we announced a restructuring plan in response to the weak end-


markets in the computing and telecommunications industries. In response


to the prolonged difficult end-market conditions, we announced a second


restructuring plan in July 2002. The weak demand for our manufacturing


services resulted in an accelerated move to lower-cost geographies and


additional restructuring in the Americas and Europe. In January 2003, we


announced further reductions to our manufacturing capacity in Europe. In


January and April 2004, we announced plans to further restructure our


operations to better align capacity with customers' requirements.


These restructuring actions were focused on consolidating facilities,


reducing the workforce, and transferring programs to lower-cost


geographies. The majority of the employees terminated were manufacturing


and plant employees. For leased facilities that were no longer used, the


lease costs included in the restructuring costs represent future lease


payments less estimated sublease recoveries. Adjustments were made to


lease and other contractual obligations to reflect incremental


cancellation fees paid for terminating certain facility leases and to


reflect higher accruals for other leases due to delays in the timing of


sublease recoveries and changes in estimated sublease rates, relating


principally to facilities in the Americas.


We have completed the major components of these restructuring plans,


except for certain long-term lease and other contractual obligations,


which will be paid out over the remaining lease terms through 2015, and


certain payments to regulatory agencies in accordance with local labor


legislation in Europe which we expect to pay out through 2008. Cash


outlays are funded from cash on hand.


$5.3 of the accrued termination costs is classified in other long-term


liabilities. The remaining restructuring liability is recorded in accrued


liabilities.

the non-cash charge are as follows:

(b) 2005 and 2006 restructuring:


In January 2005, we announced plans to further improve capacity


utilization and accelerate margin improvements. These restructuring


actions are ongoing and include facility closures and a reduction in


workforce, primarily targeting our higher-cost geographies where end-


market demand has not recovered to the levels management requires to


achieve sustainable profitability.


As of June 30, 2006, we have recorded termination costs related to


approximately 3,100 employees, primarily operations and plant employees.


Approximately 2,600 of these employees have been terminated as of


June 30, 2006 with the balance of the terminations to occur throughout


2006. Approximately 75% of employee terminations are in the Americas and


25% in Europe.

the non-cash charge are as follows:

We expect to complete the major components of these restructuring actions


by the end of 2006. Cash outlays are and will be funded from cash on


hand. The restructuring liability is recorded in accrued liabilities.


Restructuring summary:


We expect total restructuring charges of approximately $250 to $275 to be


recorded in 2005 and 2006, with the majority of these charges to be


employee termination costs. As of June 30, 2006, we have recorded


restructuring charges totaling $160.1 in 2005 and $37.2 in the first half


of 2006.


As of June 30, 2006, we have $3.8 in assets that are available-for-sale,


primarily land and buildings in all geographies as a result of the


restructuring actions we implemented. We have programs underway to sell


these assets.


(c) Other:


In 2004, we recorded charges to reduce the net realizable value of


certain assets for one customer which subsequently ceased operations in


2005. We recorded a recovery of $13.8 during the second quarter of 2005


to reflect amounts realized.


7. Pension and non-pension post-employment benefit plans:


We have recorded the following pension expense:

8. Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments:


We have granted stock options and performance-contingent stock options as


part of our long-term incentive plans. We have applied the fair-value


method of accounting for stock option awards granted after January 1,


2003 and, accordingly, have recorded compensation expense. For awards


granted in 2002, we have disclosed the pro forma earnings and per share


information as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the


fair-value method. We are not required to apply the pro forma effect of


awards granted prior to January 1, 2002.


The estimated fair value of options is amortized to expense over the


vesting period, on a straight-line basis, and was determined using the


Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average


assumptions:

$2.5 and $5.0, respectively) relating to the fair value of options


granted after January 1, 2003.

Our stock plans are described in note 9 to the 2005 annual consolidated


financial statements.


9. Segmented information:


Our operations fall into one dominant industry segment, the electronics


manufacturing services industry. We manage our operations, and


accordingly determine our operating segments, on a geographic basis. The


performance of geographic operating segments is monitored based on EBIAT


(earnings before interest and accretion on convertible debt, amortization


of intangible assets, integration costs related to acquisitions, other


charges, option expense and income taxes). Inter-segment transactions are


reflected at market value.

the 2011 Notes has been reduced by amounts received from the interest


rate swap agreements.


11. Hedging transactions:


In connection with the issuance of our 2011 Notes in June 2004, we


entered into agreements to swap the fixed rate of interest for a variable


interest rate. The notional amount of the agreements is $500.0. The


agreements mature July 2011. See note 4(b).


Payments or receipts under the swap agreements are recorded in interest


expense on long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap
