Gained reimbursement approval in Japan for the VERIGENE® gram positive and gram negative blood culture assays.

“I am very pleased with the Company’s performance year-to-date and we remain focused on delivering double digit revenue growth and increased shareholder value. In addition, I’m happy to announce, that only a year after its acquisition, Nanosphere was accretive to the Company’s operating results in the second quarter”, said Homi Shamir, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luminex. “The combination of the ARIES and VERIGENE sample-to-answer systems coupled with our non-automated solutions has provided our customers with a technology portfolio that addresses their needs. Further, the full integration of our sales force helped drive our execution in the second quarter.”

“Looking forward, we believe that our diversified business model offers multiple, significant growth opportunities as we aggressively expand the test menu on these platforms. With multiple clearances in the second quarter and the ARIES C.Diff assay approval in July, Luminex now has ten FDA-cleared assays that run on our automated sample-to-answer molecular systems.”

The Company makes reference in this release to “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.
