RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 12, 2015--Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. (“Quintiles” or the “Company”) (NYSE: Q) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s service revenues were $1.06 billion which represents growth of 6.0%, or $60.1 million including an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $33.4 million compared to the same period last year. The Company’s growth in service revenues, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations (“constant currency”), was 9.3% with 2.3% growth in the Product Development segment and 33.0% growth in the Integrated Healthcare Services segment.

Adjusted income from operations was $164.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing growth of 27.1% compared to the same period last year. The adjusted income from operations margin was 15.4%, representing 250 basis points of expansion compared to the same period last year, including 90 basis points from favorable currency fluctuations. Adjusted net income was $91.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing growth of 25.8% compared to the same period last year. Diluted adjusted earnings per share was $0.71 in the quarter ended December 31, 2014, representing growth of 29.1% compared to the same period last year.

Reported GAAP income from operations was $158.9 million, reported GAAP net income was $88.4 million and reported GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.69 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures, including adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per share to the corresponding GAAP measures are attached to this press release.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s service revenue growth was 9.4% or $357.5 million including an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $25.7 million compared to 2013. At constant currency, the Company’s service revenues grew 10.1% with 6.3% growth in the Product Development segment and 22.5% growth in the Integrated Healthcare Services segment. Adjusted income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $599.4 million, representing growth of 18.9% and 120 basis points of margin expansion compared to the same period last year, including 60 basis points of margin improvement from favorable currency fluctuations. Adjusted net income was $353.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, representing growth of 33.9% compared to the same period last year. Diluted adjusted earnings per share was $2.70 for the year ended December 31, 2014, representing growth of 31.1% compared to the same period last year. Reported GAAP income from operations was $590.4 million, reported GAAP net income was $356.4 million and reported GAAP diluted earnings per share was $2.72 for the year ended December 31, 2014.


Net new business grew 22.2% compared to the same period last year to $1.59 billion representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.49 in the quarter ended December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, net new business grew 14.4% compared to 2013 to $5.60 billion representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.34. The fourth quarter net new business contributed to an ending backlog of $11.24 billion at December 31, 2014.

“A year ago, we said Quintiles was entering 2014 positioned for growth and we achieved that goal by delivering an additional $383 million of constant currency service revenue during 2014 representing growth of 10.1%, net new business growth of 14.4%, and diluted adjusted earnings per share growth of 31.1%. These metrics paint a picture of a strong year for Quintiles,” said Quintiles Chief Executive Officer Tom Pike.

“We are well positioned for the long term with our industry leading backlog. As the leader in biopharmaceutical services, we continue to bring innovative insights and superior delivery of results to the industry to increase the probability of success of our customers. Our 32,000 people are committed to our vision of bringing people and knowledge together for a healthier world.”

The Product Development segment net new business increased 28.0% in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 to $1.23 billion which translates into a book-to-bill ratio of 1.59 for the quarter. Product Development’s service revenues at constant currency grew 2.3%, or $18.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period last year. At actual foreign exchange rates, Product Development service revenues were negatively impacted by $18.6 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact resulting in service revenues being flat compared to the same period last year at $774.4 million. The constant currency revenue growth resulted from volume-related increases in clinical solutions and services in Asia and Japan, services provided on a functional resource basis, and clinical trial support services, partially offset by the conclusion of a large clinical solutions project which was delivered throughout 2013. Product Development’s income from operations margin was 21.7% for the fourth quarter, representing an improvement of 200 basis points compared to the same period last year, including 70 basis points from operations at constant currency rates.

The Integrated Healthcare Services segment net new business increased 5.6% in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 to $354 million which translates to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.22 for the quarter. On a constant currency basis, Integrated Healthcare Services’ service revenues increased 33.0% or $75.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period last year, including $16.2 million from the Encore acquisition. At actual foreign exchange rates, Integrated Healthcare Services’ service revenues increased 26.5% to $289.6 million inclusive of the negative impact of $14.8 million from unfavorable foreign currency impacts. The constant currency revenue growth resulted from increases in commercial solutions in Japan and North America, growth in real-world and late phase research services partially offset by a decline in commercial solutions in Europe. Integrated Healthcare Services’ income from operations margin was 8.4% at both the actual and constant currency rates for the fourth quarter, representing an improvement of 330 basis points compared to the same period last year.

General corporate and unallocated expenses were $28.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to $35.4 million for the same period last year.

Interest expense was $26.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to $26.8 million for the same period last year. Interest expense was slightly lower than the same period in 2013 primarily due to increased borrowings at lower average rates of interest.

The GAAP effective income tax rate was 29.4% for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 27.5% for the same period in 2013 and 29.9% for the full year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 29.7% for 2013 as a higher percentage of income was delivered in the United States during the current period and for the full year compared to the same periods last year.

Equity losses of unconsolidated affiliates was $5.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.5 million for the same period last year. The decline was primarily due to $3.5 million of write-downs incurred on an equity method investment and net current quarter losses from our equity investments.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company began excluding changes from adjustments to estimated contingent consideration from business combinations from adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per share. All periods presented in the tables accompanying this press release have been adjusted to reflect this change.


Financial Guidance

For 2015, the Company expects to achieve service revenue constant currency growth between 7.5% and 9.0% compared to full year 2014, and diluted adjusted earnings per share of $3.02 to $3.13 per share, representing growth of 12% to 16% with diluted GAAP earnings per share between $2.90 and $3.04 per share, and an annual effective income tax rate estimated at approximately 29.5%. This financial guidance is based on the first of January foreign currency exchange rates, but does not reflect the potential impact of any future equity repurchases.

Actual results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, that most of the Company’s contracts may be terminated on short notice, and that the Company may be unable to maintain large customer contracts or to enter into new contracts; the Company may under-price its contracts, overrun its cost estimates, or fail to receive approval for or experience delays in documenting change orders; the historical indications of the relationship of backlog to revenues may not be indicative of their future relationship; the Company may be unable to maintain information systems or effectively update them; customer or therapeutic concentration could harm the Company’s business; the Company’s business is subject to risks associated with international operations, including economic, political and other risks such as compliance with a myriad of laws and regulations, complications from conducting clinical trials in multiple countries simultaneously and changes in exchange rates.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted income from operations margin, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per share, each of which is a financial measure not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations and are more indicative of core operating results as they exclude certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the core operations of the business. These non-GAAP measures are performance measures only and are not measures of the Company’s cash flows or liquidity, nor are they alternatives for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this press release.

Internet Posting of Information: The Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors in the 'Investors' section of the Company’s website at www.Quintiles.com. The Company encourages investors and potential investors to consult the Company’s website regularly for important information about the Company.

(1) Management fees were previously paid to affiliates of certain of the Company’s shareholders pursuant to a management agreement. The year ended December 31, 2013 includes a $25.0 million fee paid in connection with the termination of the management agreement.
 
(2) During the third quarter of 2014, the Company began excluding changes from adjustments to estimated contingent consideration from business combinations from adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per share. Consistent with the other adjustments to adjusted net income and diluted adjusted net income per share, management believes that changes to the estimated value of contingent consideration are not indicative of its core operating results as the fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the core operations of the business.
 
(3) The tax effect of adjustments was based on the income tax rate of the respective transactions, which was 38.5%, with the exception of i) restructuring costs which were tax effected at 34.7% and 32.3% during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 34.6% and 28.2% during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively and ii) contingent consideration which is not tax effected as it represents a permanent difference between book and tax income.
 
(4) Other income tax adjustments remove the impact of certain discrete adjustments on the Company’s income tax expense. The Company’s effective income tax rate in the 2013 periods was impacted by the Company’s change in assertion regarding the undistributed earnings of most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which are now considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. As a result of the assertion change, in the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an $8.1 million discrete income tax benefit to reverse the deferred income tax liability previously recorded on undistributed foreign earnings. In addition, in the second quarter of 2013, the Company settled certain intercompany notes that had previously been considered long term investments, which resulted in an $11.2 million discrete income tax expense.
