"CommScope delivered Core net sales of $1.589 billion and Core adjusted EBITDA of $263 million for the second quarter of 2023. Our second quarter in CCS and OWN, was impacted by larger than expected customer inventory corrections, customer capital spending reductions and the macro environment. Despite the market challenges, we continue to manage what we can control including our CommScope NEXT initiatives. Two of our most significant achievements thus far in 2023 are cost efficiencies and NICS performance. On the cost side, we are on track to reduce annualized costs by more than $150 million. In NICS, we achieved a record quarter of adjusted EBITDA of $75 million, up $90 million year-over-year. As we move into the second half, the demand environment, particularly in our CCS and OWN segments, remains uncertain and will impact our 2023 performance. Despite the short-term challenges, we are excited about medium and long-term demand including the continued government and private investment in broadband and fiber," said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"In the second quarter, CommScope net sales declined 17% from the prior year to $1.918 billion and adjusted EBITDA declined 13% to $260 million. The adjusted EBITDA held up a bit better than our revenue as we continue to drive our CommScope NEXT initiative plan including reducing our fixed costs. We also continued to de-lever as we repurchased and retired $28 million of our long-term debt bringing the total debt repurchases to $85 million since the beginning of the year. We finished the quarter with a net leverage ratio of 6.4x. Liquidity remained strong at more than $1 billion. However, based on current visibility driven by a weaker demand outlook for 2023, we reduced our Core adjusted EBITDA guideposts to a range of $1.15 to $1.25 billion," said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer.

Impacts of Current Economic Conditions

Macroeconomic factors such as higher interest rates, inflation and concerns about a global economic slow-down have softened demand for CommScope's products, with certain customers reducing purchases as they right-size their inventories and others pausing capital spending. This has negatively impacted the Company's net sales in the first half of 2023 and may continue to negatively impact net sales further into 2023. Conversely, in certain of CommScope's segments, the Company has seen higher demand and favorable pricing impacts that have partially offset the impact of lower demand in certain of its other segments. CommScope is also seeing lower input costs and has proactively implemented cost savings initiatives that have favorably impacted its profitability in the first half of 2023.

Second Quarter Results and Comparisons

Net sales in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 16.6% year-over-year to $1.92 billion. Core net sales decreased 15.3% year-over-year due to lower net sales in the OWN and CCS segments, partially offset by stronger sales in the NICS and ANS segments. Net sales decreased across all regions in the second quarter of 2023.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $115.7 million, or $(0.55) per share, in the second quarter of 2023, increased compared to the prior year period's net loss attributable to common stockholders of $75.7 million, or $(0.36) per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $47.3 million, or $0.19 per share, versus $100.5 million, or $0.41 per share, in the second quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased 13.4% to $259.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.5% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 13.0% in the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA decreased 8.5% to $262.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same prior year period. Core segment adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.5% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 15.3% in the same prior year period.

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 CCS, NICS, OWN and ANS segments. They do not include the results of the Home segment. The Core segments and the Home segment represent the business segments as currently managed and reported by CommScope. Future results and the composition of any business divested in the future may vary and differ materially from the presentation of the Core financial measures.
