Benchmark Electronics, Inc. has announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Jeff Benck, Benchmark's president and CEO stated, "We delivered solid results in the quarter reflecting both year-over-year and sequential non-GAAP operating margin growth. More importantly, non-GAAP gross margins were over 10% excluding our legacy computing contract revenue, which reflects the potential leverage in our model with an improving portfolio. We also refined our strategic priorities for the coming year and we made progress on these initiatives in the quarter."
Benck continued, "I am excited about the recent executive leadership additions of our Chief Revenue Officer, Rob Crawford and Chief Human Resources Officer, Rhonda Turner. Their broad experience and previous accomplishments position them both to meaningfully contribute to the next phase of growth for Benchmark. After visiting most of our sites, and engagement with many of our large customers since I joined in March, I am even more energized about our future opportunities and the incremental value we can bring to our customers as an innovation conduit and strategic partner."
Overall, higher-value markets were down 5% year-over-year from softer demand in Semi-Cap, despite year-over-year growth in Medical and A&D. Traditional market revenues were down 15% year-over-year primarily from legacy Computing revenues.
Second Quarter 2019 Bookings Update
- New program bookings of approximately $130 million of projected annualized revenue
- 25 engineering awards supporting early engagement opportunities
- 28 manufacturing wins across all market sectors
Third Quarter 2019 Outlook
- Revenue between $525 - $555 million
- Diluted GAAP earnings per share between $0.21 - $0.24
- Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share between $0.33 - $0.39 (excluding restructuring charges and other costs and amortization of intangibles)
Third quarter guidance reflects the substantial completion of a long standing legacy computing contract in the second quarter and continued muted recovery in the semi-cap sector. Additionally, we have elected to close manufacturing operations at our San Jose, California and Guaymas, Mexico sites with customer transitions expected into other locations in the Benchmark network by mid 2020. Restructuring charges associated with these consolidations are expected to range between $1 million to $2 million in the third quarter.
