Haemonetics Reports Double Digit Growth in Earnings Per Share for Third Quarter Fiscal 2010
BRAINTREE, Mass., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) reported third quarter GAAP net revenues of $165 million, up 6%, net income of $18 million, up 13%, and earnings per share of $0.71, up 13%. Year-to-date, Haemonetics’ GAAP net revenues are $476 million, up 7%; net income is $54 million, up 20%; and earnings per share are $2.08, up 20%.
Excluding restructuring charges in fiscal 2009 which did not recur in fiscal 2010, adjusted third quarter net income growth was 11% and adjusted earnings per share growth was 11%. Adjusted year-to-date net income growth is 16% and earnings per share are up 16%.(1)
Haemonetics ended the third quarter with $169 million in cash and $20 million of debt, and generated $21 million of free cash flow. The Company spent $34 million on share repurchases in the quarter, completing a $40 million share repurchase plan.
Brian Concannon, Haemonetics’ President and CEO, said, “As we close out the year, we are well positioned to continue our legacy of delivering consistent, double digit operating income and earnings per share growth. Revenue results are solid with growth spread across multiple product lines. Our blood management solutions are gaining traction particularly in our hospital products, and that is translating into results. And our announcement this morning of our intent to acquire Global Med Technologies, Inc. reinforces our commitment to being the leading provider of blood management solutions for our customers.”
In addition to revenue and earnings growth, Haemonetics reported the following results (comparisons also exclude the restructuring charges in last fiscal year): In the quarter, gross margin is 51.7%, up 140 basis points. Operating expenses are $60 million, up 12%. Operating income is $26 million, up 4%, and operating margin is 15.6%, down 40 basis points. Key strategic investments were made in the quarter, and full year expenses are in line with expectations. Year-to-date, gross margin is 52.4%, up 160 basis points. Operating expenses are $170 million, up 9%. Operating income is $79 million, up 13%, and operating margin is 16.6%, up 90 basis points. (1)
The Company tightened its full year guidance ranges to 8-9% revenue growth (from 8-11%) and earnings per share in a range of $2.80 to $2.85 (from $2.75-$2.85). Operating income growth guidance increases to 15-16% (from 12-15%).
STRATEGIC AND SEGMENT GROWTH HIGHLIGHTS
Haemonetics continues to make progress expanding its business. The Company reported the following highlights related to its blood management solutions strategy:
- An Agreement and Plan of Merger signed with Global Med Technologies, Inc. to substantially complete the software component of Haemonetics’ blood management solutions offering
- 12 customers currently engaged in Haemonetics’ comprehensive, account-wide blood management programs
- 8 customers engaged in device-specific blood management programs
- 29 accounts having completed the baseline assessment for Haemonetics’ solutions for device implementation in specific departments
- OrthoPAT® orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system consumables sales increased 8%
- TEG® hemostasis analyzer consumables sales increased 18%
- CardioPAT® cardiovascular perioperative autotransfusion system consumables sales increased 25%
As noted, Haemonetics’ third quarter fiscal 2010 revenues were $165 million, up 6%. Reported revenues break down as follows:
Plasma disposables revenue was $59 million for the quarter, up 10%. Year-to-date Plasma revenues are $177 million, up 18%. As anticipated, plasma collection growth moderated in the quarter sequentially, but even as plasma collection growth moderates, Haemonetics expects its plasma business will continue to be an ongoing revenue growth driver. The Company will continue to benefit not only from market growth, but also from market share gains and price improvements. Haemonetics expects full year Plasma revenue growth in a range of 18-19%.
Platelet disposables (formerly reported as Blood Bank) revenue was $40 million for the quarter, up 9%. Year-to-date Platelet revenues are $111 million, up 3%. Platelet sales were strong in the quarter against the first half of fiscal 2010 as the distribution business in key markets strengthened. Haemonetics expects full year Platelet revenue growth in a range of 1-2%.
Red Cell disposables revenue was $12 million for the quarter, down 8%. Year-to-date Red Cell revenues are $35 million, down 4%. Aggregate demand for red cells by hospitals remains down from last year, stemming partly from an increased focus by hospitals on transfusion triggers and the reduction in elective surgeries. The reduced demand for blood continues to impact Haemonetics’ automated red cell collection systems. Haemonetics anticipates annual Red Cell revenue will decline 4-5%.
Software Solutions revenue was $8 million for the quarter, up 9%. Year-to-date Software Solutions revenues are $26 million, up 18%. Haemonetics benefited from sales from its acquired companies, Altivation® and Neoteric, whose sales were not included in the third quarter of last fiscal year. Haemonetics estimates annual Software Solutions revenue growth of 9-13%.
Haemonetics’ Hospital disposable systems grew in the quarter as the Company’s blood management solutions began to influence hospitals’ purchasing. By product line, Surgical revenue was $18 million, up 1% in the quarter, and $52 million, up 2% year-to-date. OrthoPAT disposables revenue was $10 million, up 8% in the quarter, and $27 million, up 3% year-to-date. Diagnostics revenue was $6 million in the quarter, up 11%, and $15 million, flat year-to-date. Unlike Haemonetics’ other products in which the Company reports disposables revenues separately, Diagnostics revenues include equipment and disposable sales. Year-to-date Diagnostics revenues have been impacted by the decline in hospital capital spending. Haemonetics saw a reversal of that trend in the third quarter for positive overall revenues. Year-to-date Diagnostics disposables revenue growth is up 12%. Haemonetics expects revenue will be up 4-5% for Surgical, up 5-7% for the OrthoPAT system, and up 7-9% for Diagnostics for the year.
Mr. Concannon added, “I am pleased to report several product line revenue growth rates increasing sequentially even as our Plasma business growth rates moderate as anticipated. Revenue growth reflects a more balanced product mix now that we’re seeing recovery in other product lines and geographies. Beyond the improving macro environment, our blood management solutions are gaining traction.”
Haemonetics has posted several items on its website: fiscal 2010 guidance; income scenarios reflecting guidance ranges; and potential fiscal 2010 product line growth. The information is posted at http://www.haemonetics.com/site/content/investor/guidance.asp.

Haemonetics Corporation Financial Summary
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Haemonetics has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part
of this earnings release. A reconciliation is provided below that
reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure with the most comparable GAAP
measure. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly
comparable GAAP measures. There are material limitations to the usefulness
of non-GAAP measures on a standalone basis, including the lack of
comparability to the GAAP financial results of other companies.
These measures are used by management to monitor the financial performance
of the business, inform business decision making, and forecast future
results. Performance targets for management are established based upon
these non-GAAP measures. In the reconciliations below, we have removed
restructuring costs from our GAAP expenses. These restructuring costs
result from a significant transformation of our business during our fiscal
years 2009 and 2008. This transformation resulted in the formation of a
shared service center in Europe, exiting various offices across Europe and
Japan and, most recently, in repositioning our technical operations
organization. We believe this information is useful for investors because
it allows for an evaluation of the Company with a focus on the performance
of our core operations.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the level
of total gross profits without the costs of our business transformation.
We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this
basis.
Non-GAAP S,G&A and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses
The use of this non-GAAP measure allows management to monitor the ongoing
level of spend that is necessary to support the business in a period when
we are not transforming our business or completing an acquisition of in-
process research and development. We establish our budgets, forecasts,
and performance targets excluding these costs.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Income before Income Taxes
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the level
of operating and total pre-tax profits without the costs of our business
transformation. We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance
targets on this basis.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Earnings per Share
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the level
of net income and earnings per share excluding both the costs of our
business transformation, as well as any related tax effects. We establish
our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this basis.
