“Our third quarter performance and financial results reflect the ongoing challenges associated with the global supply chain disruption, increased costs of materials and freight, and semiconductor chip shortage occurring across our industry and broader economy,” said Chuck Treadway, president and chief executive officer. “While we continue to experience strong demand for CommScope’s products and services, we expect these significant headwinds to persist in the near-term. We are actively and swiftly addressing external pressures and are engaging with our customer base regarding pricing adjustments, as well as operational measures to make up for inflation effects. Our teams remain laser focused on executing on our CommScope NEXT strategy and achieving our goals of incremental growth, cost optimization and shareholder value creation.”


Treadway continued, “I thank our employees for remaining resilient through the continued challenges of the pandemic and operating environment. I am proud of the unwavering support of our team to mitigate these issues and position CommScope for the next level of growth and profitability.”

 

“While I have only been in my new role as CFO for a week, I am more committed than ever to accelerating the Company’s transformation and driving our success through our CommScope NEXT initiatives,” said Kyle Lorentzen, chief financial officer. “During the third quarter, we continued to make excellent progress on CommScope NEXT, and we now have more than 100 targeted initiatives already underway or ready for implementation. As we continue progressing into the next phase of CommScope NEXT, my priorities will include defining milestone metrics, ensuring CommScope is properly resourced, executing on investment decisions and challenging the team to continue to build upon CommScope NEXT with new, innovative ideas.”

Third Quarter Results and Comparison

In early April 2021, CommScope announced its plan to spin-off the Home Networks business to form a new stand-alone publicly traded company. Also in the second quarter of 2021, management shifted certain product lines from the Company’s Broadband segment to its Home segment to better align with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.

In this comparison discussion, reference is made to certain supplementary “Core” financial measures, which reflect the results of the Broadband Networks, Outdoor Wireless Networks and Venue and Campus Networks segments, in the aggregate. Core financial measures exclude the results of the Home Networks segment. These metrics represent the business segments as reported by CommScope. However, the ultimate definition of the Home Networks business that CommScope expects to spin-off may vary, and future results may differ materially.

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

Net sales in the third quarter of 2021 decreased 2.9% year over year to $2.11 billion. Core net sales increased 6.0% year over year primarily due to higher net sales in the Outdoor Wireless Networks and Venue and Campus Networks segments.

Net loss of $(124.2) million, or $(0.68) per share, in the third quarter of 2021, increased 6.8% compared to the prior year period's net loss of $(116.3) million, or $(0.66) per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $72.2 million, or $0.29 per share, versus $123.1 million, or $0.51 per share, in the third quarter of 2020.

 


Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 24.2% to $259.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased to 12.3% of net sales in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 15.8% of net sales in the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA decreased 11.8% in the third quarter of 2021 and decreased to 16.2% of net sales compared to 19.5% of net sales in the prior year period. The negative impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance has eased somewhat during 2021, with network strain driving increased demand for certain of our Broadband segment products although net sales of these products have been tempered by capacity constraints. The recovery in demand has also had unfavorable business impacts, including commodity inflation (primarily copper and resins), logistics cost increases, extended lead times and certain component part shortages. All of the Company’s segments experienced supply shortages and extended lead times for certain materials that negatively affected our ability to meet customer demand for our products. We expect certain of these unfavorable impacts to continue for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.

Net sales of $355.6 million, increased 30.8% from prior year driven by growth in Macro Tower Solutions.

Venue and Campus Networks

Net sales of $554.9 million, increased 8.4% from prior year primarily driven by growth in Indoor Copper Enterprise and Indoor Fiber Enterprise, offset by declines in RUCKUS Networks and DAS and Small Cell.

Home Networks

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 Broadband Networks, Outdoor Wireless Networks and Venue and Campus Networks segments. They do not include the results of the Home Networks segment. The aggregate results of the Core segments and the results of the Home Networks segment represent the business segments as reported by CommScope and may not represent the ultimate definitions of the remaining CommScope businesses and the Home business after the previously announced planned spin-off. Future results may vary and differ materially from the presentation of the Core financial measures.

(3) The tax rates applied to adjustments reflect the tax expense or benefit based on the tax jurisdiction of the entity generating the adjustment. There are certain items for which we expect little or no tax effect.

 

(4) For all periods presented, GAAP EPS was calculated using net loss attributable to common stockholders in the numerator, which includes the impact of the Series A convertible preferred stock dividend.

 

(5) The Company’s definition of non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS is non-GAAP adjusted net income, excluding the Series A convertible preferred stock dividend, divided by weighted average shares outstanding assuming the if-converted method, which reflects the conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock.
