Revenue for the March 2012 quarter was $837.1 million, down 2.4% from the December 2011 quarter and 4.3% from the March 2011 quarter. Revenue in local currencies declined 2.0% from the December 2011 quarter and 4.8% from the March 2011 quarter. Net income for the March 2012 quarter was $64.9 million or $0.36 per share, compared with net income of $64.0 million or $0.36 per share for the December 2011 quarter and net income of $68.1 million or $0.39 per share for the March 2011 quarter. Net income for the March 2012 quarter includes a net tax benefit of $3.0 million ($0.02 per share) resulting from the release of net operating loss valuation allowances no longer required, partially offset by adjustments to deferred tax assets due to changes in applicable tax rates in certain jurisdictions.

 

"Business conditions stabilized during the March quarter, with order rates improving each month and the book-to-bill ratio increasing to 1.04. Costs remain under control and are being rigorously monitored," commented Martin P. Slark, Molex's Chief Executive Officer. "The long term themes driving the business - mobility, IT spending and growth in emerging markets - continue to develop, affording Molex significant opportunities for long-term growth. In addition, cash flow has been very strong, exceeding net income for each of the last three quarters. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has approved an increase to the quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.22 per share."

Increase in Cash Dividend

 

The Board of Directors has approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.22 per share, an increase of 10% from the previous cash dividend of $0.20 per share.

Outlook

 

Based upon current order rates, backlog and normal seasonality, the Company estimates revenue in a range of $870 to $900 million for the June 2012 quarter. At this level of revenue, the Company expects earnings per share in a range of $0.36 to $0.40 assuming constant foreign currency rates and commodity prices and an effective tax rate of 31%.
