HERCULES, CA--(Marketwired - August 06, 2015) - Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) (NYSE: BIOb), a global provider of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Second-quarter reported revenues were $506.1 million, down 5.7 percent compared to $536.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2014. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 4.2 percent compared to the same period last year. Second-quarter gross margin was 55.2 percent compared to 55.4 percent reported during the same quarter in 2014.
Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $28.4 million, or $0.97 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $31.6 million, or $1.09 per share, respectively, during the same period last year.
The year-over-year decrease of net income for the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to the impact of currency as well as several discrete items including an increase of $2.6 million of bad debt expense, a one-time distributor termination expense of $1.9 million, and a change of $1.7 million of expense reflecting the revaluation of contingent consideration for certain acquisitions. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 was 28 percent compared to the tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 of 35 percent. The lower tax rate in 2015 was due to a decrease in tax reserves as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitation.
On a reported basis, revenues for the first half of 2015 were down 6.4 percent to $978.9 million compared to $1.05 billion for the same period in 2014. On a currency-neutral basis, revenues grew 2.9 percent.
Year-to-date net income for 2015 was $46.2 million, or $1.58 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $38.3 million, or $1.32 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2014.
Life Science
Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $170.6 million, essentially flat, when compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment net sales increased by 8.6 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Results from the second quarter benefitted from currency-neutral increased sales of the Company's Droplet Digital™ PCR products, western blotting instruments and reagents, and cell biology products. Currency-neutral sales increased primarily in the U.S., Europe, and China during the second quarter of 2015 and were partially offset by slowness in Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific. In April, Bio-Rad introduced the S3e™ Cell Sorter (488/640 nm), the latest addition to the Company's series of S3e Cell Sorters. The new Cell Sorter incorporates the fluorescence wavelengths commonly used by immunologists. Also during the quarter Bio-Rad released a new product line of PrecisonAb™ Antibodies that are validated specifically for use in western blotting and offer improved sensitivity, specificity, and reliability.
Clinical Diagnostics
Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the second quarter of 2015 were $332.1 million, a decrease of 8.5 percent compared to the same quarter last year. On a currency-neutral basis, sales increased 2.2 percent compared to the same period last year. The Clinical Diagnostics segment sales performance on a currency-neutral basis reflected growth of diabetes, immunology, and quality controls products. Sales growth in North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific was offset by European markets, which are still experiencing consolidation and pricing pressures. During the quarter, Bio-Rad announced the availability in U.S. markets of its BioPlex® 2200 25-OH Vitamin D kit for use on the company's BioPlex® 2200 system. The assay offers an automated method for the quantitative measurement of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D in human serum. In June, Bio-Rad announced that its VARIANT™ II TURBO HbA1c Kit - 2.0 had obtained clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as an aid in diagnosing diabetes and identifying people who may be at risk for developing the disease.
Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Daylight Time (5 PM Eastern Daylight Time) August 6, 2015.
