This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160128005406/en/

Net sales for the second quarter were $1.8 billion, an increase of 12 percent compared to the prior year or 19 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (ex-FX). Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, net sales increased 12 percent compared to the prior year. Connected Car net sales increased two percent (nine percent ex-FX) due to higher take rates, stronger automotive production, and platform expansions. Lifestyle Audio net sales increased 20 percent (26 percent ex-FX) due to new product introductions and expanded global distribution channels in consumer audio, the acquisition of Bang & Olufsen Automotive and higher car audio take rates. Net sales in Professional Solutions decreased seven percent (four percent ex-FX) mainly due to weakness in emerging markets. Connected Services net sales were $170 million compared to $74 million in the prior year, primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s services portfolio as a result of the acquisition of Symphony Teleca (STC).

Excluding restructuring, non-recurring charges and acquisition-related items, second quarter operating income increased 15 percent to $186 million compared to $162 million in the prior year, and EBITDA increased 14 percent to $225 million compared to $198 million in the prior year. Earnings per diluted share were $1.84 compared to $1.79 in the prior year.

On a GAAP basis, second quarter operating income increased seven percent to $159 million compared to $149 million in the prior year and EBITDA increased 17 percent to $217 million compared to $186 million in the prior year. Earnings per diluted share decreased six percent to $1.55 compared to $1.65 in the prior year, due to higher acquisition-related items, including interest expense and share count. The Company recorded $26 million of restructuring, non-recurring charges and acquisition-related items compared to $14 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets.

“I am pleased to announce our 11th consecutive quarter of top and bottom line growth. Our strong first half results were in-line with our expectations. While we are closely monitoring macroeconomic developments, at this time, we are on track to deliver on our full year plan,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO. “HARMAN continues to innovate and bring industry-first solutions to market. We are also partnering with key technology leaders such as Google, Microsoft and Under Armour to capitalize on the opportunities presented by IoT for automotive, enterprise and consumer electronics. In addition, our acquisition of TowerSec will strengthen our cybersecurity leadership position for automotive.”

Summary of Operations – Gross Margin and SG&A (Non-GAAP)

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased 60 basis points to 30.8 percent. The improvement was primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume leveraging a more efficient fixed production cost base, as well as the expansion of the Company’s services portfolio.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales increased 30 basis points to 20.3 percent compared to 20.0 percent in the prior year due to investments in research and development.

Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $737 million, an increase of two percent (nine percent ex-FX) compared to the prior year. The increase in net sales was due to higher take rates, stronger automotive production and the expansion of recently launched platforms.

On a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, gross margin increased 60 basis points to 25.0 percent compared to the prior year primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume leveraging a more efficient fixed production cost base and lower warranty costs. SG&A expenses as a percent of sales declined 30 basis points to 13.0 percent compared to the prior year due to improved operating leverage on higher sales.

Connected Car Highlights

HARMAN launched embedded infotainment solutions on a number of new vehicle models, including the new Genesis luxury brand from Hyundai. The system is now available in Korea on-board the Genesis EQ900, and will be available in Europe and North America on additional vehicles by mid-2016. HARMAN also received follow-on business from Subaru. The Company’s first award with Subaru is expected to launch in fiscal year 2017.

Earlier this month at the Consumer Electronics Show HARMAN unveiled a number of new industry-first solutions for the connected car. The Company announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft to bring new mobile and cloud-based services to the automotive market. The first implementation will include the integration of Office 365 productivity features into HARMAN embedded infotainment systems. HARMAN showcased the solution as part of its new Life-Enhancing Intelligent Vehicle Solution (LIVS) compute platform for end-to-end connected car products and services. The HARMAN LIVS compute platform brings intelligent connectivity features together for the connected car, offering integrated safety, telematics, cyber security and cloud services together with HARMAN’s industry-leading embedded infotainment features such as navigation, multimedia and high performance radio and television tuners.

HARMAN also announced an agreement to acquire TowerSec, a global leader in automotive cyber security specializing in network protection for connected vehicles. TowerSec’s technology will be integrated into HARMAN’s 5+1 security architecture aimed at protecting the critical points of vulnerability in the connected and autonomous car, including hardware, network, and over-the-air (OTA) updates. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $625 million, an increase of 20 percent (26 percent ex-FX) compared to the prior year primarily due to new product introductions and the expansion of global distribution channels in consumer audio, the acquisition of the Bang & Olufsen car audio business, and higher take rates in car audio.

On a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, gross margin improved by 50 basis points to 32.7 percent compared to the prior year, primarily due to improved operating leverage as a result of higher sales volume.

Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $249 million, a decrease of seven percent (four percent ex-FX) compared to the prior year. The decrease in net sales is primarily due to weakness in emerging markets, particularly in Brazil and Russia.

On a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, gross margin increased 100 basis points to 41.4 percent, driven by lower manufacturing expenses. SG&A expense as a percentage of sales increased 190 basis points to 29.9 percent compared to 28.0 percent in the prior year, driven by lower sales.

HARMAN has provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures in the table above to provide the users of the consolidated financial statements with a better understanding of the Company’s performance. Because changes in currency exchange rates affect its reported financial results, the Company shows the rates of change both including and excluding the effect of these changes in exchange rates. The Company encourages readers of its financial statements to evaluate its financial performance excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This measurement should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in HARMAN’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
