WALTHAM, Mass., May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc. , a leading manufacturer and supplier of rapid diagnostic products for the consumer and professional markets, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded net revenue of $159.0 million compared to net revenue of $127.8 million in the first quarter of 2006. The revenue increase was due to increased sales in our Consumer and Professional Diagnostic segments contributed by businesses acquired during 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, including the Innovacon business, Med-Ox, Instant Technologies, Promesan and First Check, along with organic growth in both segments and a slight increase in royalty revenues.
For the first quarter of 2007, the net income prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) was $6.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, compared to net loss per common share of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per common share, for the first quarter of 2006. The Company reported adjusted cash basis net income of $14.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2007, compared to adjusted cash basis net income of $4.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2006.
The Company’s GAAP results for the first quarter of 2007 include amortization of $6.5 million, a $0.6 million restructuring charge, $1.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $0.2 million of deferred financing costs related to the repayment of outstanding debt. GAAP results for the first quarter of 2006 include amortization of $4.0 million, a $2.1 million restructuring charge and $1.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. These amounts, net of tax, have been excluded from the adjusted cash basis net income per common share for the respective quarters.
A detailed reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted cash basis net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income (loss) under GAAP, as well as a discussion regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, is included in the schedules to this press release.
The Company will host a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) today, May 2, 2007, to discuss these results as well as other corporate matters. During the conference call, the Company may answer questions concerning business and financial developments and trends and other business and financial matters.

In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant. Management believes that excluding such charges and income from income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner. Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements. It should be noted that “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. (b) Amortization expense of $6.5 million and $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 GAAP results, respectively, including $3.0 million and $2.0 million charged to cost of sales, $0.8 million and $0.7 million charged to research and development, $2.6 million and $1.3 million charged to selling, general and administrative, in the respective quarters, with $0.1 million charged to other income during the 2007 quarter. (c) Restructuring costs of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2007, associated with the decision to close a manufacturing facility in 2006, charged to selling, general and administrative. Restructuring costs of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2006, associated with the decision to close a manufacturing facility in 2005, including $0.7 million charged to costs of sales, $0.2 million charged to selling, general and administrative and $1.2 million of unrealized foreign exchange loss charged to other expense. (d) Compensation costs of approximately $1.6 million and $1.3 million associated with stock-based compensation expense, in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 GAAP results, respectively, including $0.1 million and $0.1 million charged to cost of sales, $0.2 million and $0.3 million charged to research and development and $1.3 million and $0.9 million charged to selling, general and administrative, in the respective quarters. (e) Write-off of $0.2 million in deferred financing costs related to repayment of outstanding debt. (f) Tax effect on adjustments as discussed above in notes (b), (c), (d) and (e). (g) For the three months ended March 31, 2006, potential diluted shares were not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share under GAAP because inclusion thereof would be antidilutive. (h) Included in the weighted average dilutive common shares for the calculation of net income per common share on a GAAP and an adjusted cash basis for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and on an adjusted cash basis for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are dilutive shares consisting of 1,752,000 and 1,211,000 common stock equivalent shares, respectively, from the potential exercise of stock options and warrants.
