CLAREMONT, N.C.: #InvestorRelations--CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“As expected, our second quarter results improved from the first quarter. Our performance in our Core businesses was mixed with strength in Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) and continued weakness in Access Network Solutions (ANS) and NICS. Our focus on profitability through CommScope NEXT during the downturn is now paying dividends as our Core EBITDA margin in the second quarter was 19.1% up from 10.2% in the first quarter and 15.9% in the second quarter of 2023. We are pleased with our CCS performance as datacenter and GenAI was a strong driver of growth. We are well positioned to take advantage of what we believe to be a multi-year growth cycle in this business. CCS adjusted EBITDA of $173 million improved versus prior year and the first quarter of 2024 by 107% and 80%, respectively. Despite an improved second quarter, visibility remains limited as customers continue to deal with higher-than-normal inventory levels and upgrade cycles are delayed. As previously reported, CommScope entered into a definitive agreement to sell its OWN segment as well as the DAS business unit of the NICS segment to Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH). Upon closing, CommScope will receive approximately $2.1 billion in cash,” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Despite improved performance sequentially, Core CommScope net sales declined 17% from the prior year to $1.05 billion and delivered adjusted EBITDA of $201 million. Although visibility remains limited, our full year Core adjusted EBITDA guideposts are $700 to $800 million. We continue to evaluate capital structure alternatives and expect to meet with our existing lenders in the third quarter to address the upcoming debt maturities. We finished the quarter with significant liquidity of $880 million,” said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer.

Second Quarter Results and Comparisons

Net sales in the second quarter of 2024 decreased 12.7% year-over-year to $1.39 billion. Core net sales decreased 17.0% year-over-year due to lower net sales in the ANS and NICS (excluding DAS) segments, partially offset by stronger sales in the CCS segment. Net sales decreased across all regions, except the Canada region, in the second quarter of 2024.

Income from continuing operations of $74.8 million, or $0.27 per share, in the second quarter of 2024, improved compared to the prior year period's loss from continuing operations of $(63.1) million, or $(0.37) per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $86.9 million, or $0.34 per share, versus $44.2 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased 19.5% to $302.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 21.8% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 15.9% in the same prior year period. Core non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 0.3% to $201.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same prior year period.
