HICKORY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM), a global provider of connectivity and essential infrastructure solutions for wireless, business enterprise and residential broadband networks, reported sales of $847 million and a GAAP loss of $9 million, or a loss of $0.05 of per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $54 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to non-GAAP results is attached.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, CommScope reported sales of $848 million and net income of $11 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $49 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.

"We are pleased to deliver another solid quarter following our recent initial public offering," said President and Chief Executive Officer Eddie Edwards. "We exited 2013 with positive momentum with particular strength in our Wireless business. These positive business trends position us well as we move into the first quarter.

"Wireless operators continue to invest in their networks as customers seek out a high quality, ubiquitous mobile broadband experience. Devices such as tablets, smart phones, laptops and machines are increasingly connected on licensed operator frequencies utilizing LTE connectivity. We believe our industry-leading RF product portfolio, such as our recently announced Andrew SiteRise® pre-assembled tower-top cellular solution and small cell distributed antenna solutions, uniquely positions CommScope to address the increasingly complex requirements of wireless networks.

"CommScope's next generation of wireless, enterprise and broadband solutions are at the foundation of mission-critical voice, data, entertainment and business services, and we continue to believe our industry leading position provides long-term growth opportunities."

Fourth Quarter Overview

Overall, fourth-quarter 2013 sales of $847 million were stable year over year. Orders booked in the fourth quarter of 2013 were particularly strong, up 8% year over year to $916 million. Wireless and Enterprise order growth offset a decline in Broadband.

Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $60 million compared to $69 million in the year ago quarter. Adjusted operating income, which excludes the amortization of purchased intangibles, acquisition or initial public offer (IPO) related costs, restructuring costs and other special items was $141 million, an increase of $17 million or 13% compared to the prior year period.

A GAAP net loss of $9 million compares to net income of $11 million in the year ago period. The year-over-year change in net income was primarily due to special items related to CommScope's IPO on October 25, 2013, including a $33 million premium paid to redeem debt using the IPO proceeds and a $20 million fee paid to terminate the Carlyle management agreement. Excluding charges associated with the IPO and other special items, adjusted fourth quarter net income increased $5 million or 9 percent year over year to $54 million.

Fourth Quarter Segment Overview

Wireless segment sales increased 3 percent year over year to $534 million. The sales increase was primarily driven by higher spending in the Asia Pacific; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Central and Latin America regions as operators continue to modernize 3G networks. Operators in North America and Europe also continued to invest in 4G/LTE equipment as well as small cell DAS solutions that support the capacity and densification of wireless networks. In the quarter, Wireless adjusted operating income rose 53 percent year over year to $112 million, or 21 percent of sales.

Enterprise segment sales declined 2 percent year over year to $205 million. The decline is primarily due to lower sales in the U.S. and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. While organizations have a growing need for next-generation enterprise connectivity solutions, corporate IT investment remained cautious in the fourth quarter. In the quarter, Enterprise adjusted operating income declined 26 percent year over year to $32 million or 16 percent of sales. The decline is primarily due to a challenging commercial environment and higher costs related to the recent acquisitions of Redwood Systems and iTRACS as the company positions these solutions for long-term growth. Modest improvement in customer demand at the end of the fourth quarter suggests a potential stabilization of the Enterprise market.

Broadband segment sales declined 13 percent year over year to $109 million and contributed to an adjusted operating loss of $3 million. The adjusted operating loss was primarily driven by lower sales volumes and less favorable pricing and mix of products sold. Cost reduction activities were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2013 to better align this segment's cost structure with customer demand, and adjusted operating income improvement is expected in 2014.

Full Year 2013 Overview

For the full year, sales increased $158 million or 5% to $3.5 billion. GAAP operating income increased $91 million or 38% to $330 million while GAAP net income was $19 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Excluding the amortization of purchased intangible assets and other special items, the company generated $620 million in adjusted operating income, an increase of $119 million or 24 percent compared to 2012. Adjusted net income rose to $262 million or $1.60 per diluted share, up 41 percent and 34 percent, respectively, year over year. This year-over-year improvement is due mainly to higher sales volumes, a favorable change in the mix of products sold and the benefit from ongoing cost savings initiatives.

Non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures and should be considered together with the GAAP financial measures. As calculated, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, CommScope management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period.
