Hologic Announces Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Operating Results
BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX) announced today its results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014.
Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights and Recent Developments:
- Reported revenues of $660.6 million increased 6.2% compared to the prior year and included a one-time revenue benefit of $20.1 million related to an amended license agreement with Roka Bioscience.
- Net of the one-time revenue benefit, revenues from the Company's underlying business were $640.5 million, an increase of 3.0%, with operational growth of 2.8%.
- Revenues grew in all four business segments.
- Diagnostics grew 2.4% (net of the one-time revenue benefit).
- Breast Health grew 3.1%.
- GYN Surgical grew 2.3%.
- Skeletal Heath grew 10.4%.
- Non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $0.43, which included $0.05 from the one-time revenue benefit. Net of this one-time benefit, non-GAAP EPS was $0.38, a decline of 3.6% compared to the prior year, but above the guidance range of $0.36 to $0.37.
- GAAP EPS was $0.10 per diluted share compared to a loss of $4.11 in the prior year.
- Installed the 2,000th Hologic 3D mammography system worldwide and surpassed the fiscal 2014 U.S. placement goal.
- On October 31, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released reimbursement rates for 3D mammography screening and diagnostic services. The new rule also creates a pathway for private insurers to explore broader coverage and payment options.
"Our fourth quarter provides further evidence that our turnaround is strengthening and our outlook is improving," said Stephen MacMillan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Although we began the year with declining performance, this quarter we achieved growth in all four franchises and transitioned to a company on a clear path to sustainable organic growth. While we still have work to do, we have put the pieces in place to drive accelerating growth and are much better positioned as we head into fiscal 2015."
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Revenue Overview by Segment (Compared to the Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2013):
- Diagnostics revenues of $297.1 million increased 2.4%, net of the one time revenue benefit of $20.1 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the Company's molecular diagnostics franchise and blood screening franchise, primarily from the Japanese Red Cross deal. Partially offsetting these increases was a continued decrease in U.S. ThinPrep pap test sales due to interval expansion.
- Breast Health revenues of $241.5 million increased 3.1% driven by strong growth in 3D mammography system sales, as well as service revenue growth from the growing installed base of digital mammography systems. Partially offsetting these increases was the expected overall sales decline of 2D mammography systems as customers continue to transition to the Company's 3D systems.
- GYN Surgical revenues of $78.5 million increased 2.3%, driven by strong growth in worldwide MyoSure system sales, partially offset by declines of U.S. NovaSure system sales.
- Skeletal Health revenues of $23.4 million increased 10.4%, driven by growing sales of the Company's new Horizon platform and to a lesser extent, an increase in mini C-arm system sales.
Financial Guidance:
The Company's guidance includes current operations, including revenues from its approved and cleared products. The fiscal 2015 growth rates exclude the one-time revenue benefit of $20.1 million in fiscal 2014.
Fiscal 2015 (Year Ending September 26, 2015)
The Company expects fiscal 2015:
- Operational revenue growth, excluding the impact of foreign currency, of approximately 2% to 3.5% over fiscal 2014. Including an expected 1% negative impact from foreign currency, the Company expects reported growth of approximately 1% to 2.5%, resulting in reported revenues in the range of $2.54 billion to $2.57 billion. The Company expects growth in all four business segments, as well as internationally.
- Non-GAAP EPS in the range of $1.50 to $1.54. Compared to $1.46 in fiscal 2014, this represents year-over-year growth of approximately 3% to 5.5%.
First Quarter Fiscal 2015 (Quarter Ending December 27, 2014)
The Company expects first quarter fiscal 2015:
- Operational revenue growth, excluding the impact of foreign currency, of approximately 3% to 4.5% over the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Including an expected 1% negative impact from foreign currency, the Company expects reported growth of approximately 2% to 3.5%, resulting in reported revenues in the range of $625 million to $635 million.
- Non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.35 to $0.36. Compared to $0.34 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, this represents year-over-year growth of approximately 3% to 6%.
Hologic may not generate expected revenues and may incur expenses or charges, realize income or gains, or execute transactions in fiscal 2015 that could cause actual results to vary from the guidance above. In addition, the Company is continuing to monitor the effects of the U.S., European and general worldwide economic and regulatory conditions and related uncertainties, including the implementation of healthcare cost containment measures and healthcare reform legislation, as well as foreign currency fluctuations, which, along with other uncertainties facing the Company's business including those referenced elsewhere herein and in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could adversely affect anticipated results.

Explanatory Notes to Reconciliations:
(1) To primarily reflect a fair value adjustment relating to contingent revenue earned and received post acquisition under the Company's blood screening collaboration, which was eliminated under purchase accounting.
(2) Non-GAAP earnings per share was calculated based on 282,217 and 273,925 weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, and 278,360 and 271,869 weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the twelve months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively.
(3) To reflect a non-cash charge attributable to the amortization of intangible assets.
(4) To reflect a charge to operating expenses attributable to contingent consideration related to certain of the Company's acquisitions.
(5) To reflect certain non-cash interest expense related to amortization of the debt discount attributable to the equity conversion feature of the Company's convertible notes.
(6) To reflect restructuring and divestiture charges, as well as certain costs associated with the Company's acquisition(s) and integration plans, which primarily include retention costs, transfer costs, and asset impairments.
(7) To reflect non-cash fair value adjustments for: (i) additional depreciation expense in all periods presented related to the fair value write-up of fixed assets acquired from Gen-Probe; and (ii) write-up of inventory acquired from Gen-Probe and sold during the prior year period.
(8) To reflect a net gain resulting from a cash payment received in final settlement of an agreement, net of associated costs.
(9) To reflect a non-cash loss related to Credit Agreement amendments for those creditors who opted not to participate in the refinancing or for partial extinguishment related to voluntary prepayments, as well as related third-party transaction costs.
(10) To reflect a non-cash impairment charge for certain of the Company's intangible assets primarily related to the MRI breast coils product line to reflect fair value in fiscal 2014, and other charges related to developed technology in fiscal 2013, as well as a goodwill charge related to the Molecular Diagnostics franchise in fiscal 2013.
(11) To reflect the net impact from miscellaneous transactions during the period.
(12) To reflect an annual effective tax rate of 34.75% for the three and twelve months ended September 27, 2014 and an annual effective tax rate of 32.0% for the three and twelve months ended September 28, 2013 on a non-GAAP basis.
Future Non-GAAP Adjustments:
Future GAAP EPS may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments relating to the Company's acquired businesses, and may also be affected by nonrecurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, which are excluded in the calculation of the Company's non-GAAP EPS guidance as described in this press release. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile non-GAAP EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: revenues; net income; EPS; and adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines its non-GAAP revenues to primarily include contingent revenue earned post-acquisition under the blood screening collaboration which was eliminated under purchase accounting. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income and EPS to exclude: (i) the amortization of intangible assets; (ii) acquisition-related charges and effects, such as charges for contingent consideration, transaction costs, integration costs including retention, and credits and/or charges associated with the write-up of acquired inventory and fixed assets to fair value, and the effect of a reduction in revenue primarily related to contingent revenue under the blood screening collaboration, described above; (iii) non-cash interest expense related to amortization of the debt discount for convertible debt securities; (iv) restructuring and divestiture charges; (v) non-cash debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (vi) litigation settlement charges (benefits); (vii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments; (viii) other one-time, nonrecurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results; and (ix) income taxes related to such adjustments.
The Company believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors by eliminating certain of the more significant effects of its acquisitions and related activities, non-cash charges resulting from the application of GAAP to convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features, charges related to debt extinguishment losses, investment impairments, litigation settlements, and restructuring and divestiture initiatives. These non-GAAP measures also reflect how Hologic manages its businesses internally. In addition to the adjustments set forth in the calculation of the Company's non-GAAP net income and EPS, its adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. As with the items eliminated in its calculation of non-GAAP net income, these items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company's business. When analyzing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with GAAP.
