Bio-Rad Reports Third-Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

 

HERCULES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.,  (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Third-quarter 2018 net sales were $545.1 million, an increase of 2.1 percent compared to $534.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2017. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly sales increased 3.4 percent compared to the same period in 2017, reflecting growth across the business. Third-quarter gross margin was 52.6 percent compared to 56.0 percent during the third quarter in 2017. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2018 was impacted by higher costs for service, warranty and reagent rental, as well as the effects of changes in product mix.

Life Science segment net sales for the third quarter were $206.6 million, an increase of 7.1 percent compared to the same period in 2017. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 8.0 percent compared to the same quarter in 2017. Currency-neutral sales reflect growth of multiple product lines in the segment, including sales of droplet digital PCR, cell biology, process media, and food safety products. On a geographic view, the sales increase was attributed to growth in North America, China, and India.

Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the third quarter were $334.0 million, a decrease of 1.2 percent compared to the same period in 2017. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 0.5 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Currency-neutral sales from the third quarter reflected growth in blood typing, quality control, diabetes monitoring, and immunology product lines. On a geographic view, the sales increase for the quarter was attributed to growth across the Americas and Asia, partially offset by a decline in Europe, when compared to the same period last year.

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $269.3 million, or $8.89 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $22.1 million, or $0.73 per share on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2017. Net income for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2017 was significantly and favorably impacted by the recognition on the income statement of changes in the fair market value of equity securities of $318.0 million in this quarter primarily related to the holdings of our investment in Sartorius AG. Inclusion of these equity investment changes in valuation is the result of new accounting standards that became effective in 2018.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was 23 percent compared to 28 percent for the same period in 2017. The lower effective tax rate in 2018 is primarily due to the substantial increase in income from equity securities taxable in the U.S. as well as the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective in 2018.

“Sales performance for the third quarter reflects strength of many of our key life science and diagnostic product lines across most geographies,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. “While gross margin continues to be lower than anticipated, we believe the sizeable number of instrument placements, especially for the blood typing market, will produce higher margin sales in the future. Additionally, we continue to focus on operating efficiencies to drive improved profitability throughout the company in the years to come.”

On a reported basis, net sales for the first three quarters of 2018 increased 8.7 percent to $1,672.6 million compared to $1,538.9 million for the same period in 2017. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales grew 6.3 percent.

Year-to-date net income for 2018 was $1,194.1 million, or $39.50 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $39.5 million, or $1.32 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2017. This significant increase is due to the recognition on the income statement of our equity securities in 2018 related to the holdings of our investment in Sartorius AG mentioned above.

2018 Financial Outlook

For the full year 2018, the company is reiterating the previous currency-neutral growth revenue outlook of 4.0 to 4.5 percent. Given the lower than anticipated gross margin result for the first nine months of the year, the company now anticipates a full year currency-neutral operating margin of 8.0 to 9.0 percent, or an estimated 9.5 to 10.5 percent on a non-GAAP basis, which compares to the previous non-GAAP estimate of 11.0 to 11.5 percent. Management will discuss this outlook in greater detail on the third quarter 2018 financial results conference call.

“As we head into the end of the year, we anticipate 2018 will be another year of growth in many of our key product areas as well as broad contribution from most of our major geographies,” Mr. Schwartz said. “While the operating performance for the year is not as strong as we would have liked, we still project that 2018 will reflect substantial improvement in operating profit over 2017.”

Non-GAAP Reporting

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, valuation changes of equity owned investments, gains and losses on equity-method investments, and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: we do not acquire businesses and assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to purchased intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition or purchase. We believe that excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Acquisition-related expenses and benefits: we incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as transaction costs, valuation costs, integration costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, gain or expense on settlement of pre-existing relationships, and other professional or consulting fees. We exclude such expenses or benefits as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of our on-going business.

Restructuring, impairment charges, valuation changes in equity owned investments and gains and losses on equity-method investments: we incur restructuring and impairment charges on individual or groups of employed assets, charges and benefits arising from valuation changes in equity owned investments and gains and losses on equity-method investments, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods.

Significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs: we may incur charges or benefits as well as legal costs in connection with litigation and other contingencies unrelated to our core operations. We exclude these charges or benefits, when significant, as well as legal costs associated with significant legal matters, because we do not believe they are reflective of on-going business and operating results.

Income tax expense: we estimate the tax effect of the excluded items identified above to determine a non-GAAP annual effective tax rate applied to the pretax amount in order to calculate the non-GAAP provision for income taxes. We also adjust for items for which the nature and/or tax jurisdiction requires the application of a specific tax rate or treatment.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items excluded if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Specifically, we restated our third quarter 2017 comparative results for: the overstatement of revenue by $862, the understatement of cost of goods sold of $3,605 from our reconciling various inventory accounts, and the understatement of an employee benefit expense of $3,800 that understated cost of goods sold, SG&A and R&D by $1,121, $1,938 and $741, respectively. The impact of these errors resulted in an overstatement in our Provisions for income taxes reported in the third quarter of 2017 of $2,941 that was corrected in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
(in thousands, except per share data)
(UNAUDITED)

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS), which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring charges; asset impairment charges; valuation changes of equity owned investments; gains and losses on equity-method investments; and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

2018 Financial Outlook

Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin excludes 150 basis points related to amortization of purchased intangibles and certain legal matters. Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin does not reflect future gains and charges that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance, such as foreign currency fluctuations, future gains or losses associated with certain legal matters, acquisitions and restructuring activities.
