Haemonetics Reports 1^st Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results; Affirms Fiscal Year 2019 Revenue, Adjusted EPS and Cash Flow Guidance

Braintree, MA, August 7, 2018 - Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) reported financial results for its first fiscal 2019 quarter, which ended June 30, 2018:



		1st Quarter 2019
Revenue, increase		$229 million, +9%
Revenue increase, constant currency		+7%
Net loss per share		($0.05)
Adjusted net income per diluted share		$0.59
Cash flow from operating activities		$23 million
Free cash flow before restructuring & turnaround		$6 million

Chris Simon, Haemonetics’ CEO, stated: “Our first quarter revenue and adjusted earnings provide evidence that our turnaround plans are working and increase our confidence in achieving profitable accelerated growth. The investments we are making, coupled with strong market demand, drove overall revenue growth and operating leverage.”

GAAP RESULTS

Revenue of $229.3 million was up $18.4 million or 8.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Business unit revenue and revenue growth rates versus the prior year first quarter were as follows ($ million):




Plasma	$116.9	+ 15.2%
Hospital	$48.0	+ 9.3%
Blood Center	$64.5	(1.7	)%

Gross margin was 36.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, down 720 basis points compared to the prior year first quarter, as $25.1 million of asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation were included in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Operating expenses were $78.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, up $2.9 million or 3.9% versus the prior year first quarter. Additionally $3.4 million and $2.4 million of restructuring and turnaround costs were included in operating expenses in the first quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Including $25.1 million of asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation, operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $5.3 million, down $11.3 million compared with the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company reported a first quarter 2019 net loss of ($2.8) million or ($0.05) per share, compared with net income of $20.1 million or $0.38 per diluted share in the prior year’s first quarter.

ADJUSTED RESULTS

On a constant currency basis, revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was up 7.2% compared to the prior year first quarter. Business unit revenue growth rates, which exclude the impact of currency, compared with the prior fiscal year first quarter, were as follows:




Plasma	+ 14.0%
Hospital	+ 6.3%
Blood Center	(3.1	)%

Plasma revenue growth in North America was 17.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and included 15.3% growth in disposables coupled with strength in liquid solutions and software revenues. Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company entered into long-term commercial contracts and began rollout with several Plasma customers for the delivery of NexSys PCS™ devices and NexLynk DMS™ donor management software. Within Hospital, revenue growth in the Hemostasis Management product line was 20.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, adjusted gross margin was 47.2%, up 370 basis points compared with the same quarter of the prior year, due to Complexity Reduction Initiative savings, favorable revenue volume and product mix, and the inclusion in the prior year first quarter of costs related to liquid solutions production delays. Additionally, 140 basis points of improvement were attributable to favorable foreign currency.

Adjusted operating expenses were $67.6 million, up $1.5 million or 2.2%, as the Company continued to make planned investments to accelerate revenue growth. Adjusted operating income was $40.7 million, up $15.1 million, or 59.2%, while adjusted operating margin was 17.8%, up 570 basis points as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adjusted tax rate of 18.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compares with an adjusted tax rate of 27.9% in the prior year first quarter, reflecting benefits from recent U.S. tax reform and continuation of a favorable geographic income shift.

First quarter adjusted net income was $31.8 million, up $14.3 million, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.59 versus $0.33 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

Cash on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $192.1 million, an increase of $11.9 million in the quarter. The Company realized net cash proceeds of $94.1 million upon refinancing its debt and $4.6 million from employee stock programs during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Cash utilized included $80.0 million for repurchasing shares and $10.2 million for restructuring and turnaround initiatives net of tax benefits.

First quarter fiscal 2019 free cash flow was ($4.1) million, including net restructuring and turnaround funding, and $6.0 million before such funding.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

As part of its previously announced $260 million share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 0.85 million of its common shares for $80 million via an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Citibank N.A that was completed on August 1, 2018. Together with a previous ASR program completed in May, 2018 the Company has repurchased 2.2 million shares and disbursed $180 million.

ASSET IMPAIRMENTS, RESTRUCTURING AND TURNAROUND EXPENSES, DEAL AMORTIZATION AND GAIN ON DIVESTITURE

The Company incurred charges totaling $25.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, comprised of $21.2 million of asset impairments and $3.9 million of accelerated depreciation. The impairments were mostly related to the write-off of a non-strategic production line in the Blood Center business. The accelerated depreciation was related to PCS® 2 devices in the Plasma business and will continue throughout the NexSys PCS rollout.

The Company incurred $3.3 million of restructuring and turnaround expenses and $0.7 million of legal charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and $2.5 million of restructuring and turnaround expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

These impairments, accelerated depreciation, expenses and charges were excluded from the computation of adjusted earnings, as were deal amortization expenses of $6.3 million and $6.5 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. Also excluded from first quarter fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings was a gain of $8.0 million realized upon divestiture of the Company’s SEBRA line of benchtop and hand held sealers.

GUIDANCE

The Company affirmed previous fiscal 2019 guidance for constant currency revenue growth, adjusted earnings and cash flows, and lowered its guidance for operating margin (GAAP) and earnings per diluted share (GAAP) to reflect the first quarter impact of asset impairments and accelerated depreciation summarized as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Management uses non-GAAP measures to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets, and forecast future results.

In this release, supplemental non-GAAP measures have been provided to assist investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s core operations. When used in this release, constant currency measures the change in revenue using a constant currency conversion rate. Adjusted operating income, net income and earnings per share exclude restructuring and turnaround and deal amortization expenses, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and legal charges. Adjusted net income and earnings per share also exclude gains and losses on asset dispositions. Free cash flow before restructuring and turnaround is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Reconciliations of these measures to their most comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of the financial sections of this press release as well as on the Company’s website at www.haemonetics.com.

Haemonetics Corporation Financial Summary
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Haemonetics has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this earnings release. A reconciliation is provided that reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure with the most comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. There are material limitations to the usefulness of non-GAAP measures on a standalone basis, including the lack of comparability to the GAAP financial results of other companies.

These measures are used by management to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. Performance targets for management are established based upon these non-GAAP measures. In the reconciliations below, we have removed restructuring, turnaround and other costs from our GAAP expenses. Our restructuring and turnaround costs for the periods reported are principally related to employee severance and retention, program management, implementation of outsourcing initiatives, accelerated depreciation and other costs associated with the fiscal 2018 Complexity Reduction Initiative launched on November 1, 2017.

In addition to restructuring and turnaround costs, we are reporting non-GAAP earnings before deal amortization, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, legal charges, the impact of tax reform and gain on divestiture.

We believe this information is useful to investors because it allows for an evaluation of the Company with a focus on the performance of our core operations.
