LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Note:

The SC has shifted their Registered Office from the State of Tamilnadu to Karnataka.

 

HISTORY

 

The Company was originally incorporated on 10th March, 1997 at Chennai in Tamilnadu having Company Registration Number 18-37679.

 

Its registered office was shifted to Bangalore in Karnataka state on 9th October, 2001 and obtained a fresh certificate of incorporation Number 29635.

 

The company became 43A company w.e.f. 1st July 2000 and again converted as Private Limited company w.e.f. 13th December 2000.

 

The Registered Office of the company has been changed to Karnataka, as per the CLB/SRB order dated 7th September 2001 and the change has been registered by the ROC/Karnataka, assigning New Company Number 29635 dated 9th October 2001.

 

The company incorporated in March 1981, was founded by three electronic power engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.   At the time, the research and development efforts of these three men were focused on solar electricity.   Over the next few years, Government funding and incentives in the solar arena began to dry up.   In response, APC shifted its focus to power protection, introducing its fist UPS in 1984, the 750.   The need for capital to support this growing business was satisfied in July 1988 when APC became a publicly traded company.   The stock trading under the symbol “APCC” was priced at $ 125 per share when adjusted for stock splits.

 

It was well known that computer systems required back-up power solutions. It was quite common for a mainframe computer to have a large uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and generator installed in tandem. It came at the market from a different perspective. Industry trends involving the personal computer made it management realise that smaller UPSs were necessary for the market that included personal computer, PC servers and their networks.

 

Over the years, it has developed a global, end-to-end, product offering targeted at four strategic application area:  Home/Small offices, Business Net Works, Access Providers and Data Centres & Facilities. Internal product development has been augmented with strategic acquisitions to form an industry leading product portfolio.  Throughout the world, the APC brand has become synonymous with quality power back-up and management solutions.

 

It is a leader in its industry, employing over 5000 people worldwide, and is listed among the prestigious Fortune 1000, Forbes 500, Nasdaq 100 and S & P 500 rankings.

 

 

AMERICAN POWER CONVERSION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

India, Bangalore -- April 27, 2006 -- American Power Conversion Corporation (Nasdaq: APCC) (APC) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 26, 2006. 

 

Revenue for the first quarter 2006 was $478.8 million, up 17 percent from $408.0 million in the first quarter 2005.  On a constant currency basis, total company revenue in the first quarter increased 20 percent year-over-year.  Net income for the first quarter 2006 was $14.5 million or $0.07 per diluted share, down 60 percent from $36.0 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the first quarter 2005.

 

“We are strategically investing in the areas where APC solutions are delivering substantial benefits to IT and data center managers, particularly related to the power, thermal and network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI) demands of server and data center implementation.  Our strong top line performance illustrates that our solutions and message are on target with the challenges customers are addressing while implementing new data centers in an always on, high-density world,” said Rodger B. Dowdell, Jr., APC’s president and chief executive officer.  “The end result of these investments was very strong performance across our principal operating segments and solid growth in all major geographies as the company extended its quarterly double-digit year-over-year revenue growth streak to eleven consecutive quarters.  Additionally, InfraStruXure® sales continue to provide a growth engine for the company, increasing more than 50 percent year-over-year.  However, net income in the quarter declined 60 percent year-over-year primarily due to a year-over-year decrease in gross margin of 7.3 percentage points and a 20 percent increase in operating expenses.”

 

At 33 percent, gross margin in the first quarter stabilized and increased slightly from the fourth quarter, while year-over-year gross margin declined approximately 7.3 percentage points.  Nearly 3 percentage points of the year-over-year decline are associated with price actions and the change in currency.  Additionally, 4 percentage points are attributable to higher operational costs, primarily freight and logistics costs resulting from production shifts to lower cost locations and distribution center transitions. 

 

“Despite the typical seasonal sequential decline in revenue and volume, gross margins stabilized and even increased slightly from the fourth quarter.  Operationally, the work on our supply chain and its supporting processes is ongoing, delivering early customer benefits in our order fulfillment process and the reduction of extraordinary airfreight.  As we develop into a lean, customer-centric, ambidextrous organization, there is more work ahead to reach optimal efficiencies in our processes and our freight and logistics costs remain at higher levels than normal,” continued Dowdell.  “Additionally, we were pleased to return nearly $90 million to shareholders during the quarter, including approximately $70 million on the repurchase of 3.4 million shares in addition to our regular cash dividend program.”

 

Segment Review

 

For the first quarter 2006, revenue in APC’s Large Systems segment, consisting primarily of 3-phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), APC Global Services, precision cooling and ancillary products for data centers, facilities and communication applications, increased 33 percent year-over-year to $107.1 million.     

The Small Systems segment, which provides power protection, UPS and management products for the PC, server and networking markets, recorded first quarter revenue of $350.9 million, an increase of 14 percent year-over-year.
