FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX), a
leading business process services company, announced today it has completed
the acquisition of substantially all the assets of New Age Electronics, Inc.,
a privately-held, leading U.S. distributor of IT and consumer electronics
products.
The completion of the New Age acquisition marks another strategic move into
the consumer electronics space following our 2007 acquisition of the Redmond
Group of Companies in Canada. New Age Electronics will greatly expand SYNNEX'
consumer electronics offering and place us in a leadership position in North
America," said Robert T. Huang, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer
of SYNNEX Corporation. "We are impressed with the New Age management
team and the talented employee base. We look forward to the New Age staff
joining the SYNNEX family."
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, SYNNEX paid a purchase price of
$31.5 million in cash at the closing. Approximately $22.75 million in additional
deferred and earn-out payments, which are subject to certain post-closing
conditions, are expected to be paid within the first 15 months after the
close of the acquisition. In connection with the net assets acquired, SYNNEX
refinanced approximately $82 million in working capital debt.
On March 20, 2008, the Company provided guidance for the second quarter,
ending May 31, 2008, of revenue in the range of $1.715 billion to $1.785
billion, net income of $16.6 million to $17.2 million, and diluted earnings
per share in the range of $0.50 to $0.52 per diluted share. Today, SYNNEX
updated its guidance to include the New Age acquisition. New Age will contribute
approximately nine weeks of financial results to SYNNEX’ fiscal 2008 second
quarter. Including the New Age acquisition, SYNNEX currently expects revenue
for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to be in the range of $1.845 billion
to $1.915 billion, net income of $16.9 million to $17.6 million, inclusive
of current quarter New Age acquisition integration expense, and diluted earnings
per share in the range of $0.51 to $0.53 per diluted share.
