Revenue by Segment ($ in thousands)  

Revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year of 2014 was attributable to strong performance across all of the Company’s business segments. Year-over-year, the Permeation segment increased 16 percent in the fourth quarter and 9 percent for the full year, due primarily to steady demand outside of the United States for the recently introduced next generation instruments. The Package Testing segment grew 8 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 11 percent year-over-year for full year 2014, due primarily to improved shipments of leak detection and headspace analyzers in the food packaging industry. The Industrial Analyzer and Other segment grew 28 percent and 24 percent year-over-year for the fourth quarter and full year 2014, respectively. This strong demand was driven by oil and gas exploration and improved performance for the environmental monitoring and beverage gas analyzer markets.

Gross Profit and Operating Costs Commentary

Gross profit was 56 percent of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 which is consistent with the Company’s planned gross margin, compared to 51 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full year 2014, gross profit was 56 percent of revenue compared to 55 percent of revenue in 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 due primarily to increased commissions and headcount, as well as higher audit and SOX consulting fees.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

MOCON supplements its financial statements to provide investors with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA plus share-based compensation, impairment and foreign currency transactional losses (“Adjusted EBITDA”), net income and net income per share before certain non-recurring charges (“Non-GAAP income”), which are not calculated in accordance with general accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

MOCON believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to the Company’s Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to its financial condition and operating performance. MOCON’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes.

The method MOCON uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. MOCON urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.
