Exhibit 99.1
VWR Corporation Reports Strong Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
RADNOR, Pa., August 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — VWR Corporation (NASDAQ: VWR), a leading global, independent provider of products, services and solutions to laboratory and production facilities, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 — Highlights
Consolidated revenues of $1.08 billion, up 4.7% on an organic basis.
Americas and EMEA-APAC segments’ organic revenues both increased 4.7%.
2Q15 Adjusted EPS of $0.34, up 42% compared to $0.24 in the prior year quarter.
2Q15 cash flow from operating activities of $107 million, up 101% versus 2Q14.
Management reaffirms full year 2015 guidance.
Manuel Brocke-Benz, President and Chief Executive Officer of VWR, commented: “Our second quarter 2015 financial results demonstrate the multiple levers that VWR has available to drive double digit earnings growth. Both the Americas and EMEA-APAC segments posted organic revenue growth rates above our long-term expectations of 3 to 4%. In addition, our efforts to delever the balance sheet and reduce interest cost contributed to a 42% increase in our Adjusted EPS as compared to the prior year quarter. We had record quarterly operating cash flows of $107 million, more than double the level we generated in the second quarter of 2014. The strength of our performance, with solid organic revenue growth, operating income margin expansion, and robust cash flow generation underscore the earnings power inherent in our business model and our capacity to drive shareholder value.”
Second Quarter 2015 — Consolidated Results
Revenues were $1.08 billion, down $21.5 million, or 1.9% compared to prior year. The foreign exchange impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro and other major currencies reduced revenues by $95.3 million, or 8.6% compared to prior year. On an organic basis, revenues increased $51.4 million, or 4.7%, while recent acquisitions increased revenues by an additional $22.4 million, or 2.0%.
Operating income was $77.6 million, up $15.6 million, or 25.2% compared to prior year. The second quarter of 2014 included an impairment charge of $11.3 million, while the second quarter of 2015 included secondary offering expenses of $0.9 million and a non-cash earn-out benefit of $0.2 million. Excluding these items and the impact of currency and acquisitions, operating income increased $9.5 million, or 13.0% compared to prior year. Adjusted Net Income was $44.4 million, up $12.3 million, or 38.3% compared to prior year. Adjusted EPS increased 41.7% year-over-year to $0.34, up from $0.24 in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $110.4 million, up $5.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2014. On a comparable basis, excluding currency and acquisitions, Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.9 million, or 10.4% versus prior year.
Second Quarter 2015 — Segment Results
Americas
Revenues were $651.8 million, up $37.0 million, or 6.0% compared to prior year. On an organic basis, revenues increased 4.7% year-over-year. The increase in the Americas revenues was due to robust strength in sales to Biopharma customers and increases in sales to Healthcare and Education customers.





Operating income of $41.2 million was up $18.7 million, or 83.1% compared to prior year. Excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions, the second quarter 2014 impairment charge and the second quarter 2015 secondary offering expenses, comparable operating income increased $6.0 million, or 17.8% year-over-year, the result of higher sales volume and operating margin improvement.
EMEA-APAC
Revenues were $429.4 million, down $58.5 million, or 12.0% year-over-year, with the reduction due to the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro and other major currencies. Currency reduced reported revenues by 17.9%, while acquisitions added 1.3%. On an organic basis, revenues increased 4.7%.
Operating income of $36.4 million declined $3.1 million, or 7.8% compared to prior year. Excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions and a second quarter of 2015 non-cash earn-out benefit of $0.2 million, comparable operating income increased $3.5 million, or 8.9% year-over-year. Operating income margins expanded as a higher level of organic revenues and cost control efforts offset the significant currency headwind.
Full Year 2015 Outlook
Greg Cowan, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented: “In the quarter, the Americas segment posted its fifth consecutive quarter of positive organic growth, we expanded our operating income margins, and we significantly reduced our interest cost resulting in record quarterly Free Cash Flow of $100 million. For the remainder of 2015, despite facing more difficult comparisons and a continued foreign exchange headwind, we anticipate that VWR will continue to generate substantial cash flow. This will be achieved through organic growth, continuing to execute on a value-creating acquisition strategy and reducing our interest expense through debt refinancing and the delevering of our balance sheet.”
Management reaffirms full year 2015 guidance and continues to anticipate 2015 revenues in the range of $4.24 to $4.31 billion, 2015 Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $456 to $463 million and 2015 Adjusted EPS in the range of $1.42 to $1.50.
Our full year 2015 outlook assumes:
Current foreign currency exchange rates constant for the remainder of the year.
Adjusted diluted shares outstanding of 132 million.
The income tax rate to calculate 2015 Adjusted EPS is now anticipated to be 37%, up 100 basis points as compared to our previous estimate of 36%. This increase is primarily driven by a change in the mix of earnings, with a greater proportion of earnings now expected to be generated in higher tax jurisdictions
Share-based compensation expense in the range of $5 to $6 million before tax. Adjusted EPS guidance includes share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes share-based compensation expense.
No impact from acquisitions closed after August 12, 2015.
Balance Sheet & Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2015, total debt was $2.07 billion and cash and cash equivalents was $129.9 million, resulting in Net Debt of $1.94 billion, down $28.0 million compared to Net Debt of $1.96 billion as of March 31, 2015. The reduction in Net Debt during the second quarter was primarily due to strong cash flow from operations. Our ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 4.3x as of June 30, 2015, down slightly compared to 4.4x as of December 31, 2014.
In the second quarter of 2015, cash generated by operating activities was $107.0 million compared to $53.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The year-over-year increase in cash flow from operations was primarily driven by lower cash paid for interest and improvements in working capital.
Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2015 were $7.0 million compared to $8.5 million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow, or cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, for the second quarter of 2015 was $100.0 million, up 123% as compared to the prior year quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage readers to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement.
The non-GAAP measurements used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Net Leverage:
Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision or benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) net foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses relating to financing activities, (v) losses on extinguishment of debt, (vi) share-based compensation expense and (vii) other costs or credits that are either isolated or cannot be expected to recur with any regularity or predictability.
Adjusted Net Income is our net income or loss first adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) net foreign currency remeasurement gains or losses relating to financing activities, (iii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (iv) other costs or credits that are either isolated or cannot be expected to recur with any regularity or predictability. From this amount, we then add or subtract an assumed incremental income tax impact on the above noted pre-tax adjustments, using estimated tax rates, to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.
Adjusted EPS is our Adjusted Net Income divided by a normalized number of shares outstanding, reflecting for all periods (i) the total number of shares of common stock outstanding following our initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, as well as (ii) the dilutive effect, if any, of the assumed exercise or conversion of instruments into common stock as determined under GAAP.
Free Cash Flow is our net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures.
Net Debt is our total debt and capital lease obligations less (i) our cash and cash equivalents on hand and (ii) our compensating cash balance, if any.
Net Leverage is calculated by taking (i) Net Debt, and dividing it by (ii) our Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding twelve-month period (“LTM Adjusted EBITDA”).
Reconciliations of these measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements are included at the end of this press release.
In this earnings release, we also refer to (i) changes in our revenues before the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as our "constant currency" results and (ii) changes in our revenues before the effects of recent acquisitions and prior to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as our "organic" results.
