SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 17, 2014 - Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today reported orders of $1.91 billion, up 4 percent over one year ago, for the fourth fiscal quarter ended Oct. 31, 2014, and revenues of $1.81 billion, up 5 percent compared with one year ago. Fourth-quarter GAAP net income was $16 million, or $0.05 per share. Last year’s fourth-quarter GAAP net income was $211 million, or $0.63 per share.
These results include Keysight Technologies, formerly Agilent’s electronic measurement business. Agilent completed the spinoff of Keysight on Nov. 1 by distributing Keysight common stock to Agilent shareholders. Keysight financial results will be reported by Keysight as a separate, publicly traded company.
During the fourth quarter, Agilent had pre-separation costs of $70 million, intangible amortization of $47 million, a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $68 million, mostly non-cash charges of $68 million related to exiting the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance business, and a tax expense of $13 million.

Excluding these items and $15 million of other net costs, Agilent reported fourth-quarter adjusted net income of $297 million, or $0.88 per share(1).
Agilent’s Life Sciences, Diagnostics and Applied Chemical Markets (LDA) revenues were $1.04 billion, up 3 percent over last year, reflecting growth across all key end markets. Orders of $1.15 billion were up 5 percent compared with last year. LDA operating margin was 20.4 percent.
“Our LDA business finished the year strong, with record revenues and orders,” said Agilent CEO Bill Sullivan. “During the quarter, while generating these record numbers, we completed the company separation flawlessly, without business disruption to either company.”
“We are excited about Agilent’s future as a company focused one hundred percent on the life sciences, diagnostics and applied markets, with innovative new product rollouts planned for this year and market trends looking positive,” he added.
In FY15, Agilent plans to return approximately $500 million in capital to shareholders, including approximately $135 million in dividends and approximately $365 million in stock buybacks. The repurchases will occur from time to time, in the open market, with consideration given to Agilent’s stock price.
Agilent’s first-quarter 2015 revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.02 billion to $1.04 billion. First-quarter non-GAAP earnings are expected to be in the range of $0.39 to $0.43 per share(2).
For the full fiscal year 2015, Agilent expects revenue of $4.12 billion to $4.18 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $1.68 to $1.78 per share(2).

(1) Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share exclude primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, pre-separation costs, transformation initiatives and restructuring costs, net loss on debt extinguishment, NMR business exit, and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. A reconciliation between non-GAAP net income and GAAP net income is set forth on page 6 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.
(2) Non-GAAP earnings per share as projected for Q1 FY15 and full fiscal year 2015 excludes primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, post-separation costs, future restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided. Future amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $45 million per quarter.

(a) The adjustment for taxes excludes tax benefits that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. For the three months and year ended October 31, 2014, management uses a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16% that we believe to be indicative of on-going operations.
Historical amounts are reclassified to conform with current presentation.
We provide non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs, NMR business exit, net loss on debt extinguishment and pre-separation costs. Some of the exclusions, such as impairments, may be beyond the control of management. Further, some may be less predictable than revenue derived from our core businesses (the day to day business of selling our products and services). These reasons provide the basis for management's belief that the measures are useful.
Restructuring costs include incremental expenses incurred in the period associated with publicly announced major restructuring programs, usually aimed at material changes in business and/or cost structure. Such costs may include one-time termination benefits, asset impairments, facility-related costs and contract termination fees.
Asset impairments and write-downs include assets that have been written-down to their fair value.
Transformational initiatives include expenses incurred in the period associated with targeted cost reduction activities such as manufacturing transfers, small site consolidations, reorganizations, insourcing or outsourcing of activities. Such costs may include move and relocation costs, one-time termination benefits and other one-time reorganization costs.
Acquisition and Integration costs include all incremental expenses incurred to effect a business combination which have been expensed during the period. Such acquisition costs may include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Such integration costs may include expenses directly related to integration of business and facility operations, information technology systems and infrastructure and other employee-related costs.
Pre-separation costs include all incremental expenses incurred by Agilent in order to effect the separation, through the planned early November distribution date. They also include the cost of all the new FY14 hires required to operate two separate companies. The intent is to only include in non-GAAP expenses what would not have been incurred if we had no plan to spin-off our Electronic Measurement Group.
Net loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the early redemption of some of our senior notes.
Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to compensate employees. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information facilitates our management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.
Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangibles, net loss on debt extinguishment and restructuring charges can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our statement of cash flows portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for investors to see core performance free of special items, investors should understand that the excluded items are actual expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a complete picture of all effects on the company’s profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company’s performance.
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
The preliminary non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS reconciliation is estimated based on our current information.

Income from operations reflect the results of our reportable segments under Agilent's management reporting system which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP financial measures. Income from operations of our reporting segments exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs, NMR business exit and pre-separation costs.
In general, recorded orders represent firm purchase commitments from our customers with established terms and conditions for products and services that will be delivered within six months.
(a) Return On Invested Capital is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as income from operations less other (income) expense and taxes, annualized, divided by the average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of assets less net current liabilities. The reconciliation of ROIC can be found on page 8 of these tables, along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
The preliminary segment information is estimated based on our current information.

ROIC calculation:(annualized current quarter segment return)/(average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of segment invested capital)
(a) Agilent return is equal to non-GAAP net income of $297 million plus net interest expense after tax of $19 million for Q4'14, and $271 million plus net interest expense after tax of $24 million for Q4'13. Please see "Non-GAAP Net Income and Diluted EPS Reconciliations" for a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income to GAAP net income.
(b) Segment assets consist of inventory, accounts receivable, property plant and equipment, gross goodwill and other intangibles, deferred taxes and allocated corporate assets.
(c) Includes accounts payable, employee compensation and benefits, deferred revenue, certain other accrued liabilities and allocated corporate liabilities.
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and the investor. ROIC is a tool by which we track how much value we are creating for our shareholders. Management uses ROIC as a performance measure for our businesses, and our senior managers' compensation is linked to ROIC improvements as well as other performance criteria. We believe that ROIC provides our management with a means to analyze and improve their business, measuring segment profitability in relation to net asset investments. We acknowledge that ROIC may not be calculated the same way by every company. When we complete major acquisitions, we may adjust invested capital for the relevant segment in the quarter when the acquisition occurred. We compensate for this limitation by monitoring and providing to the reader a full GAAP income statement and balance sheet.
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
The preliminary reconciliation of ROIC is estimated based on our current information.
