HERCULES, CA--(Marketwired - November 04, 2014) - 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third-quarter reported revenues were $530.6 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to $505.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2013. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 4.3% compared to the same period last year. Third-quarter gross margin was 54.4%, compared to 56.3% during the same quarter in 2013. Gross margin during the quarter was negatively impacted by $3.1 million of expenses related to the closing and consolidation of some small manufacturing locations. Margins were also negatively affected by continued pricing pressures in the diagnostics markets.
Net income for the third quarter was $11.5 million, or $0.39 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to a net loss of ($7.1) million, or ($0.25) per share during the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2014 includes an incremental accrual of $12.1 million for the final settlement of the previously disclosed investigation in connection with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which compares to an accrual of $20 million recorded in the same period last year. (On November 3, 2014, Bio-Rad announced the resolution of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission).
Year-to-date revenues were $1.58 billion, an increase of 3.1% compared to $1.53 billion reported in the first three quarters of 2013. Adjusting for the impact of currency, year-to-date revenue growth was 2.7%.
Year-to-date net income for the first three quarters of 2014 was $49.8 million, or $1.71 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $47.7 million, or $1.65 per share reported during the same period in 2013. The change in net income resulted primarily from the increase of sales, reduced interest expense, and a gain of $7.0 million reflecting the revaluation of contingent considerations for certain acquisitions. These results were somewhat offset by a higher effective tax rate.
Cash flow was strong for the first nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period last year, as cash provided by operations was $233.1 million in 2014 versus $98.6 million last year.
"We are encouraged with the third-quarter results, which reflect customer acceptance of many recently introduced products and buoyancy in some markets," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer.
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the third quarter were $172.8 million, an increase of 6.1% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, the Life Science segment sales increased by 5.5% compared to the third quarter of 2013. Growth during the quarter was fueled by sales of the Company's Droplet Digital™ PCR, cell biology and protein separations products. Sales for the Life Science segment were particularly strong in Europe and North America. In September, the Company introduced ZOE™ Fluorescent Cell Imager, a digital imaging system that simplifies fluorescence imaging for cell culture applications.
Clinical Diagnostics
Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the third quarter were $354.7 million, an increase of 4.7% compared to the third quarter in 2013. On a currency-neutral basis, the Clinical Diagnostics segment sales increased 3.9%. Results from the third quarter benefitted primarily from growth of immunohematology and autoimmune products. Sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment reflected strength in Eastern Europe and Asia.
