SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - August 02, 2011) - Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL), a leading provider of rapid diagnostic testing solutions and cellular-based virology assays, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Second Quarter 2011 Highlights:
- Increased total revenues 10% to $27.5 million compared to $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.
- Expanded gross margin to 54.4% from 49.5% in the second quarter of 2010.
Second Quarter 2011 Results
For the second quarter of 2011, total revenues increased to $27.5 million from $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 10%.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $3.7 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.09 per share, for the second quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding non-recurring items, amortization of acquired intangibles and stock compensation expense, net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, for the same period of 2010.
"We are pleased with the double digit revenue growth in the quarter and the gross margin expansion we achieved as a result of product cost improvements. While most of the revenue growth came from strong end-user demand for our Strep A product line, we did see growth across most of our product offerings," said Douglas Bryant, president and CEO of Quidel Corporation. "More importantly, we made significant progress with our products in development, and have now submitted 510(k) packages to the FDA for our next-generation immunoassay instrument and for our first molecular assay."
Six months Ended June 30, 2011
Total revenues increased 63% to $87.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 from $53.4 million for the same period in 2010. For the six-month period in 2011, net income increased to $7.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.18 per share, for the same six-month period in 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding non-recurring items, amortization of acquired intangibles and stock compensation expense, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $12.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share for the first six months in 2010.
