BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hologic, Inc. , a diversified medical technologies company specializing in diagnostics, imaging systems and interventional devices dedicated to serving the healthcare needs of women, today announced its results for the quarter ended December 29, 2007.
First quarter fiscal 2008 revenues totaled $371.4 million, a 128% increase when compared to revenues of $163.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of Cytyc revenues for the period from October 22, 2007 (the merger date) to December 29, 2007, which approximated $158 million. For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, Hologic reported a net loss of $358.6 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, compared with net income of $16.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Included in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 results were charges relating to the Cytyc merger of $370.0 million attributable to acquired in-process research and development costs, $41.5 million attributable to the increase in cost of revenues relating to the write-up of inventory to fair market value, and $20.4 million attributable to the amortization of intangibles.
The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 213% to $61.4 million compared to the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted net income of $19.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company’s fiscal 2008 first quarter non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes the following:
Non-GAAP adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of this adjusted net income to the Company’s net income for the first quarters of fiscal 2008 and 2007 is set forth in the supplemental disclosure schedule attached to this press release. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in comparing the results of operations in fiscal 2008 to the comparable period in fiscal 2007 by eliminating certain of the more significant effects of the acquisitions that took place since fiscal 2006, as well as the Company’s non-cash compensation expense associated with its stock option and other equity awards. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure for this purpose, and these amounts are also excluded by the Company when calculating compliance with the Company’s financial covenants under its credit facility. When analyzing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider this non-GAAP measure as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Pro-forma revenue for the full quarter, as if the companies had been combined in both periods, grew 24% to $408 million, compared to combined revenues of $326.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2007. This included an increase in revenues associated with the historical Cytyc businesses to $195.1 million from $163.1 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2007.
As expected, the Company recorded in the current quarter the entire expense of approximately $3.3 million associated with its participation at the Radiological Society of North America (“RSNA”) medical imaging trade show held in November 2007, which was up from the $2.5 million spent on the trade show in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
During the first quarter, Hologic recognized as revenue the sale of 384 Selenia full-field digital mammography systems. At December 29, 2007, the Company’s backlog for orders of Selenia was 578 systems, and total backlog for the Company’s historical businesses was $244.5 million.
“We are pleased with our fiscal first quarter results which were slightly above expectations and provide a solid foundation for achieving our goals this fiscal year,” said Jack Cumming, Chief Executive Officer. “The demand for our products remains strong and we look forward to the full contribution from our enhanced sales capabilities and to fully leveraging the synergies of our recent acquisitions as we progress through the year.”
In connection with its transformational merger with Cytyc in early fiscal 2008, the Company added two significant new operating segments and combined a number of previous operating segments to better align the new resources of the combined company.
The Company now has four reporting segments: Breast Health (formerly Mammography/Breast Care), Diagnostics, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. The Diagnostics and GYN Surgical reporting segments were previously part of Cytyc. The AEG and MammoSite (formerly a part of Cytyc) operations are now included in Breast Health, and the osteoporosis assessment, mini C-arm and MRI products are included in Skeletal Health.
