CHICAGO, April 30, 2024 -- Littelfuse公司 (NASDAQ: LFUS), a diversified, industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2024:
- Net sales of $535 million were down 12% versus the prior year period, and down 12% organically
- GAAP diluted EPS was $1.93 and adjusted diluted EPS was $1.76
- Cash flow from operations was $57 million and free cash flow was $42 million
"Our global team delivered solid first quarter results, with sales above and earnings in-line with our expectations, as our increasingly diversified end market exposures, robust technology offering, and portfolio optimization initiatives helped to offset ongoing inventory destocking," said Dave Heinzmann, Littelfuse President and Chief Executive Officer. "Further, our strong cash generation reflects disciplined execution, while our well-positioned balance sheet will continue to allow us to capitalize on growth opportunities. Looking forward, we remain confident in an expected return to growth during 2024, and believe our experienced team, agile operations and unwavering long-term strategic focus will drive top-tier value for our stakeholders."
Second Quarter of 2024*
Based on current market conditions, for the second quarter the company expects,

*Littelfuse provides guidance on a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. GAAP items excluded from guidance may include the after-tax impact of items including acquisition and integration costs, restructuring, impairment and other charges, certain purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating foreign exchange adjustments and significant and unusual items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP.
