WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 26, 2011 /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 management, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Financial results for the third quarter of 2011:

  • Net revenue of $585.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $538.7 million for the third quarter of 2010.
  • Product and services revenues from our Professional Diagnostics segment were $426.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $359.5 million in the third quarter of 2010.  Recent professional diagnostics acquisitions contributed $19.4 million of incremental net revenue compared to the third quarter of 2010.
  • North American influenza sales increased to $16.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, from $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2010.
  • Excluding the impact of the change in North American influenza revenues, currency adjusted organic growth in our Professional Diagnostics segment was 8.7%.
  • Adjusted cash-basis gross margins were 54.7% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 55.9% for the third quarter of 2010 and 56.2% in the second quarter of 2011.  Adjusted cash-basis gross margins from products and services in our Professional Diagnostics segment were 58.9% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 59.9% in the third quarter of 2010 and 58.6% in the second quarter of 2011.
  • Product and services revenues from our Health Management segment were $129.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $152.9 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $135.6 million in the second quarter of 2011.  The decline in revenues from the second quarter of 2011 was driven by the continuing impact of reduced state government spending levels which affected our wellness business and a change in billing guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which affected our Alere Home Monitoring business.
  • Adjusted cash-basis gross margins from our Health Management segment were 46.2% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 51.8% in the third quarter of 2010 and 48.4% in the second quarter of 2011.
  • Included in adjusted cash-basis interest and other income (expense), net for the third quarter of 2011 was income of $11.3 million associated with an amendment of our license agreement with Quidel and $5.0 million associated with the settlement of a dispute over past royalty obligations, offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses of $6.7 million.
  • GAAP net income of $234.2 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net income per diluted common share of $2.48, for the third quarter of 2011, compared to GAAP net loss of $2.8 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net loss per common share of $0.03, for the third quarter of 2010.
  • Adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted common share of $0.67 for the third quarter of 2011, compared to adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted common share from continuing operations of $0.59, for the third quarter of 2010.
  • Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was $36.9 million, reflecting adjusted cash flow from operations of $64.0 million, offset by capital expenditures of $27.1 million.

The Company's GAAP results for the third quarter of 2011 include amortization of $70.3 million, $3.4 million of restructuring charges, $4.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.9 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $1.3 million of interest expense associated with fees paid for modification of certain debt agreements, a $0.6 million write-down in the carrying value of a facility and a net realized foreign currency loss of $18.1 million associated with a cash balance established in connection with the Axis-Shield plc tender offer, offset by $3.8 million of income recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations and a $288.9 million gain in connection with the formation of our joint venture with Procter & Gamble in May 2007.  The Company's GAAP results for the third quarter of 2010 include amortization of $74.4 million, $7.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $1.3 million charge associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with acquisitions, $0.9 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations and $4.6 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, offset by $1.6 million net restructuring cost recovery and a $0.7 million, net of tax, allocation of certain of the aforementioned charges to non-controlling stockholders. These amounts, net of tax, have been excluded from the adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted common share attributable to Alere Inc. for the respective quarters.

A detailed reconciliation of the Company's adjusted cash-basis net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income under GAAP, as well as a discussion regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, is included in the schedules to this press release.

The Company will host a conference call beginning at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) today, October 26, 2011, to discuss these results, as well as other corporate matters.  During the conference call, the Company may answer questions concerning business and financial developments and trends and other business and financial matters.  The Company's responses to these questions, as well as other matters discussed during the conference call, may contain or constitute information that has not been previously disclosed.

(a) In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company excludes from net income or loss (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 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 net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis" is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to 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, "net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis" presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

(c) Restructuring associated with the decision to close facilities resulted in a charge of $3.4 million and a net recovery of $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively. The $3.4 million charge for the third quarter of 2011 included $0.1 million charged to cost of sales, $3.1 million charged to selling, general and administrative expense, $0.1 million charged to interest expense and $0.2 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax. The $1.6 million net recovery for the third quarter of 2010 included a net recovery of $0.7 million recorded to cost of sales, $0.2 million charged to research and development, $0.6 million charged to selling, general and administrative expense, a net recovery of $3.4 million recorded to interest and other income (expense) and $1.7 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax.


(d) Compensation costs of $4.3 million and $7.3 million associated with stock-based compensation expense for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively, including $0.4 million and $0.6 million charged to cost of sales, $0.9 million and $1.5 million charged to research and development and $3.0 million and $5.2 million charged to selling, general and administrative, in the respective periods.

(j) Recognition of a $288.9 million gain originally recorded in connection with the formation of SPD, our 50/50 joint venture with the Procter & Gamble Company.


(k) A $0.6 million fair value write-down in the third quarter of 2011 recorded in connection with an idle facility.


(l) Amortization expense of $27.0 thousand ($21.0 thousand, net of tax) and $0.9 million ($0.7 million, net of tax) in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively.


(m)  Expenses of $21.0 thousand ($13.0 thousand, net of tax) incurred in connection with the sale of our vitamins and nutritional supplements business.
