LOVELAND, Colo., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Heska Corporation (NASDAQ: HSKA); ("Heska" or the "Company"), a provider of advanced veterinary diagnostic and other specialty veterinary products, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company previously announced the acquisition of 54.6% of Cuattro Veterinary USA, LLC, which was subsequently renamed Heska Imaging US, LLC ("Heska Imaging"), and this acquisition is reflected in Heska's consolidated financial results for the first half of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013. The first quarter of 2013 included approximately five weeks' contribution from this acquisition.

Second Quarter 2014 Highlights:

  • Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was up 25.5% to $22.9 million from $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2013.
  • Core Companion Animal Health revenue increased approximately 10.3%, while Other Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals and Products revenue more than doubled as compared to the second quarter of 2013.
  • Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 was up 80.8% to $9.1 million from $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.
  • Gross margin was 39.6% compared to gross margin of 27.5% in the second quarter of 2013.
  • The Company reported net income attributable to Heska Corporation of $1.1 million, or 17 cents per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, or a loss of 38 cents per diluted share.
  • Heska completed the quarter with $6.3 million in cash, $2.7 million in short-term debt and $18.3 million in working capital.

Kevin Wilson, Heska's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "The Heska team is doing a wonderful job. The strong financial performance of the second quarter of 2014 is the result of hard work across all areas of our business. The improvements we have made to our organization, products, sales tactics, and cost controls are paying off. During the quarter, we continued to accelerate the integration of our imaging and blood testing instrument teams to sell more Heska bundled products to each customer. With wider adoption of our Reset and Membership Advantage blood analyzer and consumables programs, we are seeing early signs of strong, long-term growth in our consumable revenue, due to higher retention of current customers and through conversion of competitor customers into long-term Heska membership agreements. And finally, with recent product launches and upgrades now flowing more efficiently through Heska to end users, we are pleased to see momentum build for new product releases at the end of 2014."

"This quarter demonstrates the strength of our business model and the new effectiveness of our commercial strategy," added Robert Grieve, Heska's Executive Chair. "During the second quarter we captured additional market share to deliver very significant top-line growth and increased profitability. We posted notable revenue increases in both our CCA and OVP segments, and simultaneously reduced operating expenses year over year. Our veterinarian customers are enthusiastic about the better performance and operational efficiency they are able to achieve with our products. Heska's highly competitive suite of products equips our team with the offerings to meet marketplace demands and further grow our business. The continued progress we are reporting today is the result of solid sales and operational execution coupled with prudent cost management."
