      PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Covance Inc. (NYSE: CVD) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2013.  Net revenue was $606.7 million, representing 11.4% growth from the third quarter of 2012's GAAP result of $544.8 million, and 12.0% growth from the third quarter of 2012's pro forma result of $541.9 million.  On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of $0.78 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to GAAP earnings of $0.69 in the third quarter of 2012.  Excluding charges associated with restructuring and other cost reduction actions totaling $4.9 million, the company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.83, up 15.8% over the pro forma earnings of $0.72 for the third quarter of 2012. 

      "Financial highlights in the third quarter included consolidated pro forma revenue growth of 12%, operating margin of 11.1%, EPS of $0.83, and record quarterly free cash flow of $180 million. Our better-than-expected results in the third quarter were driven by exceptional performance in our central laboratory and continued strong results in clinical development," said Joe Herring, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Strong commercial execution continued in the third quarter, as we delivered adjusted net orders of $732 million and an adjusted net book-to-bill of 1.21 to 1.  

      "Late-Stage Development revenue grew 19% year-on-year to $386 million and pro forma operating margins were 22.6%, up 260 basis points from a year ago and 120 basis points from last quarter.  Better-than-expected kit volumes and a richer mix in central laboratories drove year-over-year revenue growth of 26%, while clinical development grew revenue 14% year-on-year. Both service lines expanded margins year-over-year and sequentially.

      "In Early Development, revenue grew $6 million sequentially to $220 million, an increase of 1% from last year's pro forma result. Performance was led by clinical pharmacology, which delivered strong year-over-year and sequential revenue growth and margin expansion, more than offsetting year-over-year declines in discovery support services and pharmaceutical chemistry services. Pro forma operating margin increased 70 basis points year-on-year, and 180 basis points sequentially. Toxicology, where revenue declined slightly both year-on-year and sequentially, delivered better-than-forecasted orders in the third quarter, setting up expected sequential and year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter.

      "Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2013, we expect sequential growth in revenue and operating income in both our Early and Late-Stage development segments, despite increased spending on our strategic IT programs. Accordingly, we are increasing our full-year pro forma diluted earnings per share target to approximately $3.20 (excluding gains on sale, costs associated with our ongoing restructuring activities, and assuming foreign exchange rates remain at September 30, 2013 levels), versus our previous expectation of $3.10 to $3.20. We also now expect full-year revenue growth of approximately 10%."

Last year's pro forma revenue excluded $2.9 million in revenue from the three sites closed by the end of 2012. On a pro forma basis, net revenue increased 1.2%, including a 10 basis point foreign exchange tailwind, as strong growth in clinical pharmacology and research products were largely offset by declines in discovery support and pharmaceutical chemistry. Sequential growth of $5.8 million was primarily driven by growth in clinical pharmacology and research products.

      GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2013 was $27.2 million, and included $1.6 million in costs associated with our previously-announced restructuring actions versus operating income of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2012, which included losses at facilities closed in 2012 of $2.6 million and restructuring costs of $17.2 million.  Pro forma operating income, excluding these costs, was $28.8 million in the third quarter of this year, a 7.0% increase from the $26.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2012.  Pro forma operating margins were 13.1% in the third quarter of 2013, versus 12.4% in the third quarter of 2012 and 11.3% last quarter.

      On a sequential basis, operating margin was positively impacted by the shift to above margin treatment of the UK R&D tax credit which added 200 basis points.  In addition, annual salary merit increases went into effect on July 1 and this negatively impacted operating margins on a sequential basis by 100 basis points in the quarter.  The UK R&D tax credit recorded in the third quarter represents a six month impact (as the law was signed in July 2013, but applied retroactive to April 1, 2013).  The fourth quarter of 2013 will reflect the UK R&D credit associated with costs incurred during only that quarter.  As a result, operating margins in the fourth quarter of 2013 will face a sequential headwind of approximately 100 basis points from a normalization of the UK R&D tax credit.

      The Late-Stage Development segment includes central laboratory, Phase IIb-IV clinical development, and market access services.  Net revenues for the third quarter of 2013 grew 19.2% year-on-year to $386.4 million, and increased $8.6 million sequentially from the second quarter level. In the quarter, foreign exchange favorably impacted revenue growth by 160 basis points. Year-over-year growth was driven by increases of 26% in central laboratories and 14% in clinical development, while sequential revenue growth was driven by growth in central laboratories.

      Operating income for the third quarter was $86.8 million on a GAAP basis and included $0.5 million in costs associated with our ongoing restructuring actions. On a pro forma basis, operating income was $87.4 million, up 34.8% year-over-year. Pro Forma operating income also increased $6.5 million sequentially. Pro forma operating margins were 22.6% for the third quarter of 2013, versus 20.0% in the third quarter of 2012 and 21.4% last quarter. The year-on-year increase in profitability was led by operating leverage in central laboratories followed by clinical development, which more than offset increased spending on strategic IT projects.

      On a sequential basis, operating margins in the third quarter were positively impacted by the shift to above margin treatment of the UK R&D tax credit which added 90 basis points.  In addition, on July 1 annual salary merit increases went into effect and this was a sequential operating margin headwind of 90 basis points.  The UK R&D tax credit recorded in the third quarter represents a six month impact.  The fourth quarter of 2013 will reflect the UK R&D credit associated with costs incurred during only that quarter.  As a result, operating margins in the fourth quarter of 2013 will face a sequential headwind of approximately 45 basis points from a normalization of the UK R&D tax credit. 

      Corporate Information

      The company reported third quarter adjusted net orders of $732 million. Backlog at September 30, 2013 was $6.83 billion compared to $6.73 billion at June 30, 2013 and $6.37 billion at September 30, 2012. Foreign exchange contributed $70 million to backlog growth on a sequential basis. 

      Corporate expenses totaled $51.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 (including $2.8 million in restructuring costs) compared to $49.9 million last quarter (including $2.3 million in restructuring costs) and $40.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 (including $0.5 million in restructuring costs). The largest driver of the year-over-year increase in corporate expenses is spending on our strategic IT initiatives followed by higher incentive compensation expenses related to stronger-than-budgeted business performance.  

      Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2013 were $593 million compared to $446 million at June 30, 2013 and $441 million at September 30, 2012.  Short-term debt was reduced by $60 million in the third quarter to $265 million as of September 30. As announced on October 8, Covance entered into a note purchase agreement for the private placement of $250 million in senior notes planned to be issued in November.                                                        

      Net Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) declined 13 days in the third quarter to 35 days at September 30, 2013 compared to 48 days at June 30, 2013 and 38 days at September 30, 2012.

      Free cash flow (defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures) for the third quarter of 2013 was $180 million, consisting of operating cash flow of $215 million less capital expenditures of $35 million.  Free cash flow year-to-date was $109 million, consisting of operating cash flow of $213 million less capital expenditures of $104 million.  In 2013, we continue to expect free cash flow to be at least $125 million, net of capital expenditures of approximately $160 million.  The free cash flow target for 2013 assumes net DSO at 40 days at December 31, 2013.

      The pro forma effective tax rate in the third quarter of 28.3% was impacted by the shift to above margin treatment of the UK R&D tax credit.  Previously this credit was recorded as a reduction to income tax expense.  As a result of UK tax legislation signed in the third quarter of 2013, but effective April 1, 2013, the company now reports the UK R&D credit as an above margin expense reduction.  The impact in the third quarter was an increase in the company's effective tax rate of approximately 900 basis points, representing a six month impact.  The fourth quarter of 2013 will reflect the UK R&D credit associated with costs incurred during only that quarter.  As a result, the effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2013 will face a sequential tailwind of approximately 450 basis points from the third quarter level from a normalization of the UK R&D tax credit, resulting in an expected tax rate slightly below 24%.

      The company's investor conference call will be webcast on October 30 at 9:00 am ET.  Management's commentary and presentation slides will be available through www.covance.com.
