February 1, 2024 | BenchmarkEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Benchmark Electronics, Inc. announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. "Benchmark delivered another solid year of performance in 2023 as we continued to execute to our strategic plan. I'm particularly pleased with our free cash flow performance which was aided by inventory reductions. At the same time, our operational discipline allowed us to expand both gross and operating margin despite the dynamic environment," said Jeff Benck, Benchmark's President and CEO.
Benck continued, "Looking forward, we expect the current demand softness across several of our end-markets will likely persist through the first half of 2024, driven by customers closely managing inventories. However, as demonstrated by our performance this past year, I am confident in our ability to deliver further margin expansion and positive free cash flow in 2024."
Revenue decreased year over year primarily due to a decrease in Next Gen Communications of 35% and a decrease in Medical of 13%, partially offset by an increase in A&D of 13%.
First Quarter 2024 Guidance
- Revenue between $625 million - $665 million
- Diluted GAAP earnings per share between $0.32 - $0.38
- Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share between $0.42 - $0.48 (excluding restructuring charges and other costs and amortization of intangibles)
Restructuring charges are expected to range between $3.1 million and $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and the amortization of intangibles is expected to be $1.2 million in the first quarter.
