AUSTIN, Texas (February 6, 2017) - Luminex Corporation (NASDAQ:LMNX) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016 ended December 31, 2016. Financial and operating highlights include the following:
• | Consolidated fourth quarter and full year 2016 revenue of $72.3 million and $270.6 million, an increase of 20% and 14% compared to the fourth quarter and full year 2015. |
• | In the fourth quarter, Nanosphere contributed revenue of $9.5 million, growth of 39% over year-ago period. |
• | GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter was $3.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. GAAP net income for the full year 2016 was $13.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter and full year 2016 was $4.6 million and $40.0 million, or $0.11 and $0.93 per diluted share (see Non-GAAP reconciliation). |
• | The company recognized a charge of $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 in conjunction with reorganization activities and expects total annualized savings of approximately $9 million. |
• | In December, we received FDA clearance for the ARIES® Group B Strep assay and end 2016 with three ARIES FDA IVD cleared assays. |
“When I joined Luminex more than two years ago my immediate goals were to simplify our business, improve operating efficiency and drive profitability. In addition, a pivotal goal was to set the Company on a strategic growth path that would increase shareholder value for the foreseeable future. We remain laser focused on delivering it. During 2016 we acquired Nanosphere, eliminated several lines of business and redeployed those personnel to our family of molecular sample-to-answer solutions which now include ARIES®, Verigene®, and in the future, Project ATLAS. These platform solutions enable our clinical laboratory customers to simplify complex workflows while delivering accurate and timely data to improve patient care,” said Homi Shamir, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luminex.
“We recorded over 14% growth in 2016 with solid contributions from our core businesses and the successful integration and expansion of Nanosphere. We see that strong momentum continuing in 2017, supported by our balanced business model - a solid, profitable partner business and a rapidly expanding portfolio of molecular sample-to-answer solutions and an experienced and dedicated management team,” he added.

The Company makes reference in this release to non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income which excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impact of costs associated with legal proceedings, which are unpredictable and can vary significantly from period to period and certain other recurring and non-recurring expenses. The Company believes that excluding these items and their related tax effects from its financial results reflects operating results that are more indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance while improving comparability to prior periods, and, as such may provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. In addition, the Company’s management uses such non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and assess its core operations and to make ongoing operating decisions. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, net income, net income per share or expense information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
