TD SYNNEX (SNX) Falls as Q2 Earnings & Revenues Miss Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
TD SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) shares plunged 5% on Tuesday after the company reported lower-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2023 results. The company reported second-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $2.43 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.50 per share and decreased 10.7% year over year. The decline in the bottom line was primarily caused by lower revenues and increased interest expenses.
Revenues of $14.1 billion decreased 7.9% year over year and missed the consensus mark of $14.37 billion. The year-over-year decline in the top line was mainly due to the weak demand for the company’s Endpoint Solutions amid softness in PC demand post-pandemic. This was partially offset by increased sales across the Advanced Solutions portfolio and high-growth technologies, with demand driven by cloud and data center-related technologies.
An unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate significantly impacted sales growth. On a constant-currency basis, second-quarter revenues decreased 7%.
Region-wise, although TD SYNNEX continues to witness strong demand for its technology products and services across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region (7.3% year-over-year growth), the remaining two regions, the Americas and Europe, witnessed a year-over-year decline of 11% and 4.1%, respectively.
The non-GAAP gross profit declined 1.5% year over year to $968.6 million, while the non-GAAP gross margin improved 45 basis points (bps) to 6.89%. Adjusted SG&A expenses increased to $592.5 million from the year-ago quarter’s $584.9 million.
In the reported quarter, the non-GAAP operating income was down 5.6% to $376 million. Moreover, the non-GAAP operating margin increased by 6 bps on a year-over-year basis to 2.67%.
TD SYNNEX ended the fiscal second quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $852.1 million compared with $510.2 million witnessed at the end of the fiscal first quarter. During the reported quarter, SNX generated operating cash flow and free cash flow of $707.5 million and $677.2 million, respectively. In the first half of fiscal 2023, the company generated operating and free cash flow of $604.8 million and $537.1 million, respectively.
TD SYNNEX returned $93 million to shareholders in the second quarter by repurchasing stocks worth $60 million and paying out $33 million in dividends. In the first half of the fiscal, the company returned $241 million to shareholders by repurchasing stocks worth $175 million and paying out $66 million in dividends.
