WALTHAM, Mass., May 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR), a global leader in enabling individuals to take charge of their health at home through the merger of rapid diagnostics and health information solutions, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Ron Zwanziger, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Alere said, "I'm pleased to report another quarter of progress across the organization. With our company formation substantially complete, and the areas of pressure with Triage and Health Information Solutions showing signs of stability, we were able to take key steps to drive improved operating expense leverage in the first quarter."
Zwanziger added, "Broad changes to healthcare systems in most major markets are driving increasing opportunities for Alere's integrated offering. As we continue to combine new diagnostic platforms and services into an integrated, technology-based solution focused on the most expensive chronic conditions, we expect to benefit from these persistent and predictable global trends. Our unique position to capitalize on the evolution of global healthcare, combined with a sustained focus on organic revenue growth, operating expense leverage and debt reduction over the next several years, should continue to engender increasing shareholder confidence in our company and our prospects for future success."
Financial results for the first quarter of 2013:
- Net revenue of $739.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $671.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP adjusted net revenue, which includes approximately $0.6 million in estimated revenue related to acquired software license contracts not recognized for GAAP purposes for the first quarter of 2013 due to business combination accounting rules, was $739.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $672.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, which included $1.3 million in estimated revenue related to acquired software license contracts not recognized for GAAP purposes.
- Net income of $7.2 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net income per diluted common share of $0.09, for the first quarter of 2013, compared to net loss of $4.1 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net loss per diluted common share of $0.05, for the first quarter of 2012.
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted common share of $0.53 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted common share of $0.77 for the first quarter of 2012.
- Net product and services revenue from our Professional Diagnostics segment was $578.6 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net product and services revenue of $515.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP adjusted net product and services revenue from our Professional Diagnostics segment, which includes approximately $0.6 million in estimated revenue related to acquired software license contracts not recognized for GAAP purposes for the first quarter of 2013 due to business combination accounting rules, was $579.3 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net product and services revenue of $516.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, which included $1.3 million in estimated revenue related to acquired software license contracts not recognized for GAAP purposes. Recent professional diagnostics acquisitions contributed $62.0 million of incremental net revenue compared to the first quarter of 2012.
- North American influenza sales increased to $34.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, from $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2012.
- Excluding the impact of the change in North American influenza revenues and the impact on revenues from the reduction in our U.S. meter-based Triage product sales, currency adjusted organic growth in our Professional Diagnostics segment was 1.1%.
- Net product and services revenue from our Health Information Solutions segment was $134.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $130.8 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $131.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue from the first quarter of 2012 was related primarily to increased revenues from our home coagulation monitoring programs.
- Other income for the first quarter of 2012 includes $13.5 million of a final royalty termination payment received from Quidel during the quarter, offset by $2.3 million of other charges. Together, and net of tax, these other income items added approximately $0.12 to our non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted common share for the quarter.
The Company's GAAP results for the first quarter of 2013 exclude $0.6 million of revenue associated with acquired software license contracts that are not recognized due to business combination accounting rules and include amortization of $76.0 million, $3.9 million of restructuring charges, $4.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.9 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $11.0 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration, $1.0 million of interest expense recorded in connection with fees paid for certain debt modifications, $0.7 million in compensation charges associated with acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, a $0.5 million charge associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Epocal Inc. and $0.2 million of expense associated with the extinguishment of debt. The Company's GAAP results for the first quarter of 2012 exclude $1.3 million of revenue associated with acquired software license contracts that are not recognized due to business combination accounting rules and include amortization of $78.1 million, $5.6 million of restructuring charges, $3.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.5 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $5.0 million of income recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, $1.3 million of interest expense associated with fees paid for modification of certain debt agreements and a $4.7 million charge associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Axis-Shield plc. These amounts, net of tax, have been excluded from the non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted common share attributable to Alere Inc. for the respective quarters.

| (1)In calculating "non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income", the Company excludes (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business. In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant. Management believes that excluding such charges and income from operating income and net income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner. Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust operating income or net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements. It should be noted that "non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income" are not standard financial measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income and net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, "non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income" presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. |
