"We believe our opportunities for growth, our execution on our strategic initiatives and our competitive position remain excellent," stated Ken Kannappan, President & CEO. "Our operating margins continue to be significantly impacted by foreign exchange movements and a sharp decline in the mono Bluetooth® headset category; we believe a series of restructuring actions announced today will offset a portion of the currency impact, streamline global operations and improve profitability in fiscal 2017."
"As part of our commitment to appropriately manage the profitability of the company, today's announced headcount reduction and expense reduction will better align our investments and cost structure with the current economic environment and put us in a better position to achieve our long term targets," stated Pam Strayer, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Enterprise net revenues were down slightly to $158.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared with $161.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. On a constant currency basis, Enterprise net revenues grew by 1% from $161.6 million to $163.0 million year over year.
Consumer net revenues were $67.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, down from $70.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, due primarily to a decline in mono Bluetooth headset demand. On a constant currency basis, consumer revenues declined slightly from $70.2 million to $69.9 million year over year.
Restructuring Charges
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 we initiated a restructuring plan to better align expenses to our revenue and gross margin profile and position us for improved operating performance. Under that plan, we reduced costs through voluntary and involuntary elimination of certain positions throughout the organization in the U.S., Mexico, China and Europe.
The restructuring actions will result in pre-tax charges of approximately $12.6 million, consisting of approximately $8.4 million for severance and related benefits recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, and approximately $5.8 million to be recognized in the fourth quarter related to a one-time incentive under our existing retirement program. These charges are expected to be offset by a reduction in our fiscal year 2016 stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.6 million attributable to stock award forfeitures resulting from the restructuring action. Projected net annual savings from the restructuring activities are expected to be approximately $15 million to $16 million in fiscal year 2017.
Repurchase Authorization
We announced our board of directors has approved a new 1 million share repurchase authorization as it approaches the completion of its existing repurchase authorization announced in May 2015.
Plantronics Announces Quarterly Dividend of $0.15
We are also announcing that we have declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share, to be paid on March 10, 2016 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 19, 2016.
Business Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations and many of these statements are forward-looking. Actual results are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from our expectations.
We have a "book and ship" business model whereby we fulfill the majority of orders received within 48 hours of receipt of those orders. However, our backlog is occasionally subject to cancellation or rescheduling by our customers on short notice with little or no penalty. Therefore, there is a lack of meaningful correlation between backlog at the end of a fiscal period and net revenues in a succeeding fiscal period.
Our business is inherently difficult to forecast, particularly with continuing uncertainty in regional economic conditions and currency fluctuations, and there can be no assurance that expectations of incoming orders over the balance of the current quarter will materialize.
Subject to the foregoing, we currently expect the following range of financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016:
- Net revenues of $200 million to $210 million;
- GAAP operating income of $16 million to $21 million;
- Non-GAAP operating income of $30 million to $35 million, excluding the impact of $8 million from stock-based compensation and purchase accounting amortization and $6 million in restructuring costs from GAAP operating income;
- Assuming approximately 33 million diluted average weighted shares outstanding:
- GAAP diluted EPS of $0.21 to $0.31;
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.50 to $0.60; and
- Cost of stock-based compensation and purchase accounting amortization to be approximately $0.18 per diluted share;
- Cost of restructuring program to be approximately $0.11 per diluted share

A reconciliation between our GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the tables at the end of this press release.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of operating results, including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS which exclude certain non-cash expenses and charges that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. These non-cash charges and expenses include stock-based compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases made under our employee stock purchase plan, purchase accounting amortization, accelerated depreciation, and early lease termination charges, all net of the associated tax impact, tax benefits from the release of tax reserves, transfer pricing, tax deduction and tax credit adjustments, and the impact of tax law changes. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because Plantronics' management does not believe they are part of our target operating model. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity and helps investors compare actual results with our long-term target operating model goals. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods; however, non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, gross margin, operating income, operating margin, net income or EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP.
As a company with significant global operations and sales, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may have a material effect on our reported results. Consequently, we also present supplemental metrics as identified in the reconciliation within this release "on a constant currency basis" which excludes the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, is intended to supplement our reported operating results and, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate a better understanding of changes in the metrics from period to period and the core operations of the Company. We calculate constant currency percentages by removing any hedge gains or losses from the particular metric in the current period and then converting our current period local currency financial results using the foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the prior year period and comparing these adjusted amounts to the corresponding current period metric.
Safe Harbor
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements relating to (i) our opportunities for growth and execution on our strategic initiatives, our competitive position, (ii) the impact of our restructuring activities and the alignment of our investments and cost structure for the current economic environment and achievement of long term targets; (iii) resulting pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $12.6 million, approximately $5.8 million of which are in connection with a one-time incentive under an existing early retirement program in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2016 and a reduction of stock based compensation of approximately $1.6 million in fiscal year 2016; (iv) projected annual savings from the restructuring activities of approximately $15 million to $16 million in fiscal year 2017; (v) estimates of GAAP and non-GAAP financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, including net revenues, operating income and diluted EPS; (vi) our estimates of stock-based compensation and purchase accounting amortization and other related charges, as well as the impact of these non-cash expenses on Non-GAAP operating income and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016; and (vii) our estimate of weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, in addition to other matters discussed in this press release that are not purely historical data. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new developments or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated are:
- Micro and macro-economic conditions in our domestic and international markets;
- our ability to realize and achieve positive financial results projected to arise from UC adoption could be adversely affected by a variety of factors including the following: (i) as UC becomes more widely adopted, the risk that competitors will offer solutions that will effectively commoditize our headsets which, in turn, will reduce the sales prices for our headsets; (ii) our plans are dependent upon adoption of our UC solution by major platform providers and strategic partners such as Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Avaya, Inc., and Alcatel-Lucent, and our influence over such providers with respect to the functionality of their platforms or their product offerings, their rate of deployment, and their willingness to integrate their platforms and product offerings with our solutions is limited; (iii) delays or limitations on our ability to timely introduce solutions that are cost effective, feature-rich, stable, and attractive to our customers within forecasted development budgets; (iv) our successful implementation and execution of new and different processes involving the design, development, and manufacturing of complex electronic systems composed of hardware, firmware, and software that works seamlessly and continuously in a wide variety of environments and with multiple devices; (v) our sales model and expertise must successfully evolve to support complex integration of hardware and software with UC infrastructure consistent with changing customer purchasing expectations; (vi) as UC becomes more widely adopted we anticipate that competition for market share will increase, particularly given that some competitors may have superior technical and economic resources; (vii) UC solutions generally, or our solutions in particular, may not be adopted with the breadth and speed in the marketplace that we currently anticipate; (viii) sales cycles for more complex UC deployments are longer as compared to our traditional Enterprise products; (ix) UC may evolve rapidly and unpredictably and our inability to timely and cost-effectively adapt to those changes and future requirements may impact our profitability in this market and our overall margins; and (x) our failure to expand our technical support capabilities to support the complex and proprietary platforms in which our UC products are and will be integrated;
- failure to match production to demand given long lead times and the difficulty of forecasting unit volumes and acquiring the component parts and materials to meet demand without having excess inventory or incurring cancellation charges;
- volatility in prices from our suppliers, including our manufacturers located in China, have in the past and could in the future negatively affect our profitability and/or market share;
- fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
- with respect to our stock repurchase program, prevailing stock market conditions generally, and the price of our stock specifically;
- the bankruptcy or financial weakness of distributors or key customers, or the bankruptcy of or reduction in capacity of our key suppliers;
- additional risk factors including: interruption in the supply of sole-sourced critical components, continuity of component supply at costs consistent with our plans, and the inherent risks of our substantial foreign operations; and
- seasonality in one or more of our product categories.
For more information concerning these and other possible risks, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2015 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as recent press releases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of operating results, including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS which exclude certain non-cash expenses and charges that are included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure. These non-cash charges and expenses include stock-based compensation related to stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases made under our employee stock purchase plan, purchase accounting amortization, accelerated depreciation, and early lease termination charges, all net of the associated tax impact, tax benefits from the release of tax reserves, transfer pricing, tax deduction and tax credit adjustments, and the impact of tax law changes. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because Plantronics' management does not believe they are part of our target operating model. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity and helps investors compare actual results with our long-term target operating model goals. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods; however, non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, gross margin, operating income, operating margin, net income or EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP.
As a company with significant global operations and sales, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may have a material effect on our reported results. Consequently, we also present supplemental metrics as identified in the reconciliation within this release "on a constant currency basis" which excludes the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, is intended to supplement our reported operating results and, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate a better understanding of changes in the metrics from period to period and the core operations of the Company. We calculate constant currency percentages by removing any hedge gains or losses from the particular metric in the current period and then converting our current period local currency financial results using the foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the prior year period and comparing these adjusted amounts to the corresponding current period metric.
