“As we closed a challenging year, CommScope net sales declined 23% from the prior year to $5.79 billion and delivered adjusted EBITDA at the midpoint of our range at $1.02 billion down 18% from the prior year. As previously discussed, all of our businesses had significant pressure by year end. In addition to the challenges we have been experiencing in CCS, OWN and ANS, we have started to see similar adjustments in the NICS business as customers continued to digest inventory. Although we believe there will be a market recovery in the second half of 2024, visibility continues to be limited on the timing and extent of that recovery. As stated, we are targeting an additional $100 million of cost savings in early 2024. Our cost actions as well as our investments in capacity that we have implemented will better position us when demand returns to more normalized levels,” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“For the fourth quarter, CommScope reported consolidated net sales of $1.186 billion, a decrease of 38% from the prior year, driven by declines in all of the segments. As a result of lower revenues, adjusted EBITDA of $191 million, declined 49% versus prior year. Adjusted EPS was a loss of $0.02 per share. As we turn our focus to 2024, based on the lack of visibility on timing of a market recovery, we are not providing updated 2024 annual guideposts at this time. As we continue to deal with lower market demand, we would expect that the first quarter Core adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $100 to $125 million,” said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer.

As previously announced, in the fourth quarter of 2023, CommScope entered into an agreement with Vantiva SA to divest of its Home business. As a result, unless otherwise noted, these financial results relate to CommScope’s continuing operations, which include the Company’s remaining four operating segments: CCS, OWN, NICS and ANS. For all periods presented, amounts have been recast to reflect these changes. The divestiture of Home closed on January 9, 2024.

Impacts of Current Economic Conditions

In 2023, macroeconomic factors such as higher interest rates and concerns about continued inflation and a global economic slow-down softened demand for CommScope’s products, with certain customers reducing purchases as they right-sized their inventories and others pausing capital spending. This negatively impacted net sales in the Company's CCS, OWN and ANS segments in 2023 and may continue to have a material negative impact on net sales into at least the first half of 2024. Conversely, in the Company's NICS segment, CommScope saw higher demand and favorable pricing impacts that partially offset the impact of lower demand in its other segments for the full year 2023. However, NICS segment net sales were down in the fourth quarter of 2023 as the Company saw order rates decline as channel partners paused to digest inventory.

CommScope saw lower input costs across most of its segments as inflation settled during the year. The Company proactively implemented cost savings initiatives that favorably impacted its profitability in 2023 and should enable CommScope to take advantage of the expected recovery in demand in the second half of 2024.

 


 

Fourth Quarter Results and Comparisons

Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased 38.4% year-over-year to $1.186 billion due to lower net sales in the CCS, NICS, OWN and ANS segments. Net sales decreased across all regions in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Loss from continuing operations of $339.0 million, or $(1.67) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023, decreased compared to the prior year period's loss from continuing operations of $1.061 billion, or $(5.16) per share. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges in the ANS and CCS segments of $46.3 million and $99.1 million, respectively, related to the ANS and BDCC reporting units, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge in the ANS segment of $1.120 billion related to the ANS reporting unit. Asset impairment charges are not reflected in non-GAAP adjusted results. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $(3.9) million, or $(0.02) per share, versus $138.1 million, or $0.55 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 49.2% to $190.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 19.5% in the same prior year period.

Core segment adjusted EBITDA decreased 47.8% to $198.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 19.8% in the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA reflects the results of the Company’s CCS, OWN, NICS and ANS segments, in the aggregate, and excludes general corporate costs that were previously allocated to the Home segment and are now classified as continuing operations, since the costs were not directly attributable to the discontinued operations of the Home segment.

Reconciliations of the reported GAAP results to non-GAAP adjusted results are included below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. CommScope management further believes that these financial measures are useful in assessing CommScope’s operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. CommScope management also uses certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring CommScope’s performance relative to that of its competitors. CommScope management believes these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate CommScope’s performance and that of its competitors. However, CommScope’s use of certain non-GAAP terms may vary from that of others in its industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity. A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures discussed herein to their most comparable GAAP measures is below.

Core Measures

CommScope believes that presenting Core financial measures enhances the investor’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core businesses. Core financial measures are the aggregate of the CCS, NICS, OWN and ANS segments. They do not include the results of the Home segment. The Core segments and the Home segment represent the business segments as managed and reported by CommScope as of December 31, 2023. Future results and the composition of any business divested in the future may vary and differ materially from the presentation of the Core financial measures.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release or any other oral or written statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These statements may discuss goals, targets, intentions or expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition or otherwise, in each case, based on current beliefs and expectations of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by their use of such terms and phrases as “intend,” “goal,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “projections,” “plans,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “designed to,” “foreseeable future,” “believe,” “think,” “scheduled,” “outlook,” “target,” “guidance” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms. This list of indicative terms and phrases is not intended to be all-inclusive.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, including, without limitation, our dependence on customers’ capital spending on data, communication and entertainment equipment, which could be negatively impacted by a regional or global economic downturn, among other factors; the potential impact of higher than normal inflation; concentration of sales among a limited number of customers and channel partners; risks associated with our sales through channel partners; changes to the regulatory environment in which we and our customers operate; changes in technology; industry competition and the ability to retain customers through product innovation, introduction, and marketing; changes in cost and availability of key raw materials, components and commodities and the potential effect on customer pricing and timing of delivery of products to customers; risks related to our ability to implement price increases on our products and services; risks associated with our dependence on a limited number of key suppliers for certain raw materials and components; risks related to the successful execution of CommScope NEXT; potential difficulties in realigning global manufacturing capacity and capabilities among our global manufacturing facilities or those of our contract manufacturers that may affect our ability to meet customer demands for products; possible future restructuring actions; the risk that our manufacturing

These and other factors are discussed in greater detail in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and may be updated from time to time in our annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the information contained in this press release represents our best judgment as of the date of this release based on information currently available and reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material.

(5) Diluted shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS are 253.8 million and 251.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 253.2 million and 249.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
