PEABODY, Mass., Dec. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world’s medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2014.
Highlights during the first quarter (comparisons are against Q1 of fiscal 2014) included:
- Revenue of $118 million, up 7%
- Gross margin of 44%, up 5 points
- GAAP operating margin of 4%; Non-GAAP operating margin of 9%
- GAAP diluted EPS of $0.29; Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.63
- Operating cash flow of $14 million
- Commercial launch and production ramp of TriCore™ based flagship bk3000™ for premium urology and deep imaging for guidance and general ultrasound
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $118.3 million, an increase of 7% compared with revenue of $110.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $3.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($3.8) million, or ($0.30) per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $7.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared with $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the prior year’s first quarter. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release.
Jim Green, president and CEO, commented, “Consistent with our expectations, Analogic returned to growth in our first quarter of fiscal 2015, driven by our Medical Imaging and Ultrasound businesses, with significant improvements in gross margin. Market conditions for medical imaging equipment are seeing early signs of improvement and our new CT and ultrasound products are starting to gain traction, all resulting in a favorable outlook for the year. Security and Detection backlog remains strong with revenue on track for the fiscal year.”
Green continued, “We continue to see fiscal 2015 revenues growing mid-single digits with a 1-2 point improvement in non-GAAP operating margin, putting us back on our trajectory of profitable growth.”
Segment Revenues
Medical Imaging segment revenue was $66.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, up 11% from the same period of fiscal 2014 due to CT and Mammography sales growth coupled with a lower Q1 fiscal 2014 comparison.
Ultrasound segment revenue was $37.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, up 9% from the same period of fiscal 2014 due to growth in direct channel sales in North America and emerging markets.
Security and Detection segment revenue was $13.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, down 9% from the same period of fiscal 2014 due to timing of high-speed shipments. Order backlog remains strong at $56 million.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On December 5, 2014, Analogic’s Board of Directors declared a $0.10 cash dividend for each common share for its first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2014. The cash dividend will be payable on January 2, 2015 to shareholders of record on December 19, 2014.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
We provide non-GAAP income from operations, other income, net income, and diluted net income per share as supplemental measures to reported results regarding our operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to these financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Share-Based Compensation Expense
We incur expense related to share-based compensation included in the reported presentation of cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expense. Although share-based compensation is an expense and viewed as a form of compensation, these expenses vary in amount from period to period. In addition, fluctuations in market price and volatility of our shares, risk-free interest rates, the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards impact the expense period to period. A portion of our equity compensation is performance-based, which drives volatility in expense as estimated performance-based metrics are updated for actual and forecasted results. Our management team believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent between periods and allows comparisons of our operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation.
BK Medical Distributor Matter Inquiry-Related Costs
In fiscal year 2011, we identified transactions involving our Danish subsidiary, BK Medical, and certain of its foreign distributors, with respect to which we have raised questions concerning compliance with law and our business policies. We have concluded that the identified transactions have been properly accounted for in our reported consolidated financial statements in all material respects. During the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $0.8 million and $0.3 million of pre-tax inquiry-related costs, respectively.
Acquisition-related Expenses
Acquisition-related expenses relate to the amortization of intangibles and fair value adjustments associated with assets acquired in our business combinations. These expenses also include other transaction costs related to the acquisitions. The intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated economic life. We believe the exclusion of these acquisition related expenses allow comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses. During the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $2.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Restructuring Charges
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, we implemented our fiscal year 2014 restructuring plan (FY14 restructuring plan) to optimize our operations in Peabody, Massachusetts, which affected 48 employees. In May 2013, we announced our fiscal year 2013 restructuring plan (FY13 restructuring plan) primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs of 115 involuntarily terminated employees, as well as for facility exit costs associated with restructuring activities, including the consolidation of manufacturing and certain support activities currently conducted at the Ultrasonix facility in Vancouver, into operations at our existing facilities, closure of the Ultrasonix sales subsidiary in Paris, France, the transition costs associated with the planned closure of our Englewood, Colorado facility, as we consolidated certain ultrasound transducer manufacturing and development activities into our State College, Pennsylvania facility, and optimization of our operations in Montreal, Canada and Peabody, Massachusetts. We continue to incur costs on our FY14 restructuring plan through October 31, 2014, as we expect to complete restructuring activities in fiscal year 2015 for the FY 14 plan; we substantially completed restructuring activities in fiscal year 2014 for the FY13 plan. We incurred less than $(0.1) million of pre-tax restructuring costs for both three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013.
Taxes
For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, we adjust the provision for (benefit from) income taxes to tax effect the non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on our income tax (benefit) provision. In addition, from time-to-time, we recognize certain non-recurring tax adjustments.
Summary
We exclude the above-described expenses, their related tax impact and other non-recurring tax benefits in evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations, and allocating resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
These non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
