Analogic Completes Acquisition of Ultrasonix

Transaction Accelerates Planned Expansion into Point-of-Care Market

PEABODY, Mass. (March 4, 2013) – Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world’s medical imaging and aviation security technology, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Ultrasonix Medical Corporation for a purchase price of approximately $83 million, subject to a final adjustment as provided in the purchase agreement. The purchase is being funded by Analogic’s available cash balance. Ultrasonix is a supplier of advanced ultrasound systems for point-of-care and general imaging applications with over 5,000 systems installed worldwide. The company brings key ultrasound products, technology, and sales channels that are complementary to Analogic’s ultrasound business. Analogic continues to expect that this business combination will be neutral to diluted earnings per share in Analogic’s fiscal year 2013, excluding purchase accounting adjustments and transaction related costs, and will become accretive in fiscal year 2014.

Jim Green, Analogic president and CEO, commented, “Now that the acquisition is complete, the combination of the Ultrasonix and BK Medical brands will make our Global Ultrasound Group even stronger. With Ultrasonix’s point-of-care and general imaging products and established sales channel, we plan to accelerate our expansion into the fast growing, $500 million point-of-care market, making Analogic a preeminent supplier of procedure-driven, mobile ultrasound solutions.”

We are committed to a smooth integration and look forward to delivering on the growth opportunities that result from this business combination.”
