ALERE INC. ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
 
WALTHAM, MA...July 27, 2011...Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR), a global leader in enabling individuals to take charge of their health at home through the merger of rapid diagnostics and health management, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Financial results for the second quarter of 2011:
    Net revenue of $567.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $523.0 million for the second quarter of 2010.
 
    Product and services revenues from our Professional Diagnostics segment were $404.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $343.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. Recent professional diagnostics acquisitions contributed $21.1 million of incremental net revenue compared to the second quarter of 2010.
 
    North American influenza sales increased to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2011, from $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2010.
 
    Excluding the impact of the change in North American influenza revenues, currency adjusted organic growth in our Professional Diagnostics segment was 7.0%.
 
    Adjusted cash-basis gross margins were 54.9% for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 56.1% for the second quarter of 2010 and 55.8% in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted cash-basis gross margins from products and services in our Professional Diagnostics segment were 58.6% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 59.4% in the second quarter of 2010 and 59.6% in the first quarter of 2011.
 
    Product and services revenues from our Health Management segment were $135.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $149.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $143.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decline in revenues from the first quarter of 2011 was driven by seasonality and the impact of reduced state government spending levels which affected our wellness business and the loss of revenues related to the administration of a drug therapy due to an FDA labeling decision which adversely impacted the women’s and children’s portion of our business. Additionally, our Alere Home Monitoring business was impacted by a change in billing guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which resulted in the deferral of revenues which would otherwise have been recognized during the quarter.

 


 

    Adjusted cash-basis gross margins from our Health Management segment were 48.4% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 52.4% in the second quarter of 2010 and 49.0% in the first quarter of 2011.
 
    GAAP net loss of $4.7 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net loss per common share of $0.05, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to GAAP net loss of $8.3 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net loss per common share of $0.10, for the second quarter of 2010.
 
    Adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted common share of $0.46 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted common share of $0.57, for the second quarter of 2010.
 
    Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was $32.7 million, reflecting adjusted cash flow from operations of $71.3 million, offset by capital expenditures of $38.7 million.
 
    Principally as a consequence of lower than expected results from our Health Management segment during the quarter and our expectation that certain of the issues which impacted this segment’s performance in the second quarter will persist for the balance of the year, we are revising our full year 2011 adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted share guidance to a range of $2.50 to $2.60.
The Company’s GAAP results for the second quarter of 2011 include amortization of $81.2 million, $10.5 million of restructuring charges, $6.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.4 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $29.9 million of interest expense associated with fees paid for modification of certain debt agreements and the termination of our senior secured credit facility and a related interest rate swap agreement, offset by $7.2 million of income recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations. The Company’s GAAP results for the second quarter of 2010 include amortization of $74.1 million, $7.1 million of restructuring charges, $8.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $2.8 million charge associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Standard Diagnostics, Inc., $2.0 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, offset by $3.8 million of income recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations and a $1.3 million, net of tax, allocation of certain of the aforementioned charges to non-controlling stockholders. These amounts, net of tax, have been excluded from the adjusted cash-basis net income per diluted common share attributable to Alere Inc. for the respective quarters.

(a)   In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company excludes from net income or loss (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business. 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 net 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. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
 
(b)   Amortization expense of $81.2 million and $74.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively, including $17.3 million and $15.7 million charged to cost of sales, $7.4 million and $1.2 million charged to research and development, $56.3 million and $57.0 million charged to selling, general and administrative, with $0.2 million and $0.2 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax during each of the respective quarters.
 
(c)   Restructuring charges associated with the decision to close facilities of $10.5 million and $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively. The $10.5 million charge for the second quarter of 2011 included $0.8 million charged to cost of


 

 
  sales, $0.4 million charged to research and development, $9.1 million charged to selling, general and administrative expense, $0.1 million charged to interest expense and $0.1 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax. The $7.1 million charge for the second quarter of 2010 included $2.4 million charged to cost of sales, $0.3 million charged to research and development, $3.5 million charged to selling, general and administrative expense, $0.2 million charged to interest expense and $0.7 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax.

The $2.0 million of acquisition-related costs recorded during the second quarter of 2010 included $1.9 million charged to selling, general and administrative and $0.1 million charged to interest expense.
 
(g)   $7.2 million and $3.8 million of income in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively, recorded in connection with fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.
 
(h)   Interest expense of $29.9 million recorded in connection with fees paid for certain debt modifications and the termination of our senior secured credit facility and related interest rate swap agreement.
 
(i)   Amortization expense of $34.0 thousand ($26.0 thousand, net of tax) and $1.0 million ($0.8 million, net of tax) in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 GAAP results, respectively.
 
(j)   A write-off in the amount of $0.7 million ($0.5 million, net of tax) during the second quarter of 2010 relating to inventory write-ups attributable to operating results of non-controlling interests.

(l)   For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, potential dilutive shares were not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share under GAAP because inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.
 
(m)   Included in the weighted average diluted common shares for the calculation of net income per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011, on an adjusted cash basis, were dilutive shares consisting of 1,385,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential exercise of stock options and warrants.

The diluted net income per common share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2011, on an adjusted cash basis, included the add back of interest expense related to the convertible debt of $0.7 million and the add back of interest expense related to the ACON Second Territory Business of $24.0 thousand resulting in net income available to common stockholders of $41.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

(a)   In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company excludes from net income or loss (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business. 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 net 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. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
