Achieved Record Orders and Record Revenue
SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today reported financial
results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018 ended Oct. 31, 2018.
“Keysight delivered a very strong finish to a breakout year with both
revenue and earnings exceeding the high-end of our guidance for the
quarter. Revenue grew 19 percent on a GAAP basis and 16 percent on a
non-GAAP basis to reach a record $1.05 billion as we continue to see
broad-based momentum across multiple end markets with our solutions.
Fiscal 2018 was a record year for Keysight and we are pleased with our
total performance. The investments we have made over the past several
years in our technology, solutions, software and services are delivering
results and have enabled Keysight to be at the forefront and capture the
demand we see in the market,” said Ron Nersesian, Keysight president and
CEO.
Fourth Quarter Financial Summary
-
GAAP revenue grew 19 percent to reach $1,047 million, when compared
with $878 million last year. Non-GAAP revenue, which excludes the
impact of fair value adjustments to acquisition-related deferred
revenue balances, grew 16 percent to reach $1,051 million. Non-GAAP
core revenue, which also excludes the impact of foreign currency
changes and revenue associated with businesses acquired or divested
within the last twelve months, increased 17 percent.
-
GAAP net loss was $114 million, or $0.61 per share, compared with a
GAAP net loss of $38 million, or $0.20 per share, in the fourth
quarter of 2017. Fourth quarter 2018 GAAP net loss reflects a non-cash
goodwill impairment charge partially offset by a benefit from tax
planning initiatives within the quarter.
-
Non-GAAP net income was $193 million, or $1.01 per share using 191
million weighted average shares, compared with $135 million, or $0.71
per share using 189 million weighted average shares in the fourth
quarter of 2017.
-
As of October 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $913 million.
Fiscal Year 2018 Financial Summary
-
GAAP revenue grew 22 percent over last year and totaled $3.9 billion.
Non-GAAP revenue grew 20 percent to reach $3.9 billion. Non-GAAP core
revenue grew 13 percent year-over-year.
-
GAAP net income was $165 million, or $0.86 per share, compared with
$102 million, or $0.56 per share in fiscal 2017. Non-GAAP net
income was $618 million, or $3.24 per share, compared with $462
million, or $2.53 per share in fiscal 2017.
-
Under the $350 million share repurchase authorization implemented in
March 2018, Keysight acquired approximately 2 million shares in the
open market at an average share price of $57.91, for a total
consideration of $120 million during fiscal year 2018. Keysight has
$230 million remaining under the current share repurchase
authorization.
Reporting Segments
-
Communications Solutions Group (CSG)
CSG reported record revenue of $566 million in the fourth quarter, up 23
percent, driven by 5G-related R&D spending across the wireless
ecosystem, data center next-generation 400GbE, high-speed digital test
and aerospace, defense and government.
-
Electronic Industrial Solutions Group (EISG)
EISG revenue grew a record 21 percent in the fourth quarter to $249
million, driven by solid double-digit growth for automotive and energy,
general electronics and semiconductor measurement solutions.
-
Ixia Solutions Group (ISG)
ISG revenue was $115 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $124
million in the prior year fourth quarter. ISG continued to improve sales
execution; however, revenue was adversely impacted by the contract
manufacturing transition.
-
Services Solutions Group (SSG)
SSG revenue grew 10 percent in the fourth quarter to a record $121
million, driven by growth in calibration, remarketed and repair services
and solutions.
Outlook
Keysight’s first fiscal quarter of 2019 GAAP revenue is expected to be
in the range of $962 million to $982 million and non-GAAP revenue for
the first fiscal quarter of 2019 is expected to be in the range of $965
million to $985 million.
Non-GAAP earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2019 are
expected to be in the range of $0.76 to $0.82, which exclude items that
pertain to future events and are not currently estimable with a
reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP
amounts has been provided. Further information is discussed in the
section titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements as defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbors
created therein. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could significantly affect the expected results and
are based on certain key assumptions of Keysight’s management and on
currently available information. Due to such uncertainties and risks, no
assurances can be given that such expectations or assumptions will prove
to have been correct, and readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date hereof. Keysight undertakes no responsibility to publicly update or

contained herein include, but are not limited to, information and future
guidance on the company’s goals, priorities, revenues, demand, financial
condition, earnings, the continued strengths and expected growth of the
markets the company sells into, operations, operating earnings, and tax
rates that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Keysight’s
results to differ materially from management’s current expectations.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in
the demand for current and new products, technologies, and services;
customer purchasing decisions and timing, and the risk that we are not
able to realize the savings or benefits expected from integration or
restructuring activities. The words “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,”
“will,” “should,” “forecast,” and similar expressions, as they relate to
the company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
In addition to the risks above, other risks that Keysight faces include
those detailed in Keysight’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Oct. 31,
2017 and Keysight’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
|
|
|
Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to analyze
and assess the overall performance of the business, to make
operating decisions and to forecast and plan for future periods. We
believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through
the eyes of management” in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This
information enhances investors’ understanding of the continuing
performance of our business and facilitates comparison of
performance to our historical and future periods.
|
|
Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies, including industry peer
companies, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative
purposes.
|
|
These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not
a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The discussion below presents information about each of the
non-GAAP financial measures and the company’s reasons for including
or excluding certain categories of income or expenses from our
non-GAAP results. In future periods, we may exclude such items and
may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items.
Accordingly, adjustments for these items and other similar items in
our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that
these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.
|
|
Non-GAAP Revenue includes recognition of acquired deferred
revenue that was written down to fair value in purchase accounting.
Management believes that excluding fair value purchase accounting
adjustments more closely correlates with the ordinary and ongoing
course of the acquired company’s operations and facilitates analysis
of revenue growth and business trends.
|
|
Non-GAAP Core Revenue is non-GAAP revenue (see Non-GAAP
Revenue above) excluding the impact of foreign currency changes
and revenue associated with businesses acquired and divested within
the last twelve months. We exclude the impact of foreign currency
changes as currency rates can fluctuate based on factors that are
not within our control and can obscure revenue growth trends. As the
nature, size and number of acquisitions can vary significantly from
period to period and as compared to our peers, we exclude revenue
associated with recently acquired businesses to facilitate
comparisons of revenue growth and analysis of underlying business
trends.
|
|
Non-GAAP Income from Operations, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP
Diluted EPS may include the following types of adjustments:
|
|
•
|
Share-based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based
compensation expense from our non-GAAP financial measures because
share-based compensation expense can vary significantly from period
to period based on the company’s share price, as well as the timing,
size and nature of equity awards granted. Management believes the
exclusion of this expense facilitates the ability of investors to
compare the company’s operating results with those of other
companies, many of which also exclude share-based compensation
expense in determining their non-GAAP financial measures.
|
|
|
•
|
Acquisition-related Items: We exclude the impact of certain
items recorded in connection with business combinations from our
non-GAAP financial measures that are either non-cash or not normal,
recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of
amounts and lack of predictability as to occurrence or timing. These
amounts may include non-cash items such as the amortization of
acquired intangible assets and amortization of items associated with
fair value purchase accounting adjustments, including recognition of
acquired deferred revenue (see Non-GAAP Revenue above). We also
exclude transaction and certain other cash costs associated with
business acquisitions that are not normal recurring operating
expenses, including amortization of amounts paid to redeem acquires’
unvested stock-based compensation awards, and legal, accounting and
due diligence costs. We exclude these charges to facilitate a more
meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and
comparisons to our past operating performance.
|
|
|
•
|
Separation and Related Costs: We exclude all incremental
expenses incurred to effect the separation of Keysight from Agilent.
We exclude expenses that would not have been incurred if we had no
plan to spin-off including, among other things, branding, legal,
accounting and advisory fees, costs to resize and optimize our
infrastructure and other costs to separate and transition from
Agilent. We believe that these costs do not reflect expected future
operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation
of the company’s current operating performance or comparisons to our
operating performance in other periods.
|
|
|
•
|
Restructuring and Related Costs: We exclude incremental
expenses associated with restructuring initiatives, usually aimed at
material changes in the business or cost structure. Such costs may
include employee separation costs, asset impairments,
facility-related costs, contract termination fees, and costs to move
operations from one location to another. These activities can vary
significantly from period to period based on the timing, size and
nature of restructuring plans; therefore, we do not consider such
costs to be normal, recurring operating expenses. We believe that
these costs do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do
not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s current
operating performance or comparisons to our operating performance in
other periods.
|
|
|
•
|
Goodwill Impairment charges: We exclude goodwill impairment
charges from our non-GAAP financial measures, as such charges are
non-recurring and do not reduce company's liquidity. In addition,
the company's peer industry group companies may record impairment
charges at different times, excluding such charges permits more
accurate comparison of company's financial performance with those of
its peers.
|
|
|
•
|
Northern California wildfire-related costs and Other Items:
We exclude certain other significant income or expense items that
may occur occasionally and are not normal, recurring, cash operating
from our non-GAAP financial measures. Such items are evaluated on an
individual basis based on both quantitative and qualitative factors
and generally represent items that we would not anticipate occurring
as part of our normal business on a regular basis. While not
all-inclusive, examples of certain other significant items excluded
from non-GAAP financial measures would be: costs related to unusual
disaster like Northern California wildfires, litigation settlements,
significant realized gains or losses associated with our employee
benefit plans, gain on sale of assets and small divestitures etc.
|
|
|
•
|
Estimated Tax Rate: We utilize a consistent methodology for
long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate. When projecting this
long-term rate, we exclude any tax benefits or expenses that are not
directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated
or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or
predictability. Additionally, we evaluate our current long-term
projections, current tax structure and other factors, such as
existing tax positions in various jurisdictions and key tax holidays
in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. This tax rate could
change in the future for a variety of reasons, including but not
limited to significant changes in geographic earnings mix including
acquisition activity, or fundamental tax law changes in major
jurisdictions where Keysight operates. The above reasons also limit
our ability to reasonably estimate the future GAAP tax rate and
provide a reconciliation of the expected non-GAAP earnings per share
for the third fiscal quarter of 2018 to the GAAP equivalent.
|
|
|
Management recognizes these items can have a material impact on our
cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements,
including our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,
portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for
investors to see core performance free of special items, investors
should understand that the excluded costs are actual expenses that
may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a
complete picture of all effects on the company’s profit and loss
from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely
upon the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures focus instead upon the
core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a
critical one, of the company’s performance.
