HERCULES, CA--(Marketwire - August 02, 2011) - Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Second-quarter reported revenues were $521.7 million, up 11.5% compared to $467.7 million reported for the second quarter of 2010. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 4.2% compared to the same period last year. This improvement is the result of organic growth across Bio-Rad's primary segments, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics. Second-quarter gross margin was 56.2% compared to 57.4% reported during the same quarter last year.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the second quarter of 2011 was $40.0 million compared to $38.0 million reported for the second quarter of 2010. Second-quarter earnings were $1.41 per share on a fully diluted basis versus $1.35 per share reported for the same period last year.
Year-to-date revenues grew by 9.2% to $1.0 billion compared to $921.9 million for the first two quarters of 2010. Adjusting for the impact of currency, revenue growth was 4.5%.
Year-to-date net income attributable to Bio-Rad was $73.1 million, or $2.57 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $72.8 million, or $2.59 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2010.
"The first half of the year reflects continued strength across many of our product lines," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "While the global economic outlook suggests modest growth, we continue to invest in the future and our outlook remains positive for the remainder of the year."
Life Science
Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter were $169.9 million, up 12.8% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment net sales increased by 6.7% compared to the second quarter of 2010. The electrophoresis and imaging product lines performed well during the quarter, supported by several recent product launches including the Trans-Blot® Turbo transfer system and the Gel Doc™ EZ imaging platform. During the quarter, the Life Science segment also benefitted from sales of the TGX™ precast electrophoresis gel product line and the TC10™ automated cell counter. Deliveries of process chromatography media were also strong.
Clinical Diagnostics
Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the second quarter rose to $348.0 million, up 10.8% compared to the same quarter last year. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 2.8%. These gains were the result of growth across many product lines, most notably from quality controls and diabetes monitoring. During the second quarter, Bio-Rad announced the European and Canadian launch of its BioPlex® 2200 Antiphospholipid Syndrome IgG, IgM, and IgA kits for use on its BioPlex® 2200 system. Antiphospholipid Syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly produces antibodies to certain blood proteins causing thrombosis (clotting) within arteries, veins, and small blood vessels.
