PEABODY, Mass., Dec. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-precision medical and security imaging equipment, today announced results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2009.
Highlights during the first quarter included:
-- First quarter revenue of $95.4 million and breakeven EPS
-- Positive cash flow from operations of $2.3 million
-- Medical Technology business revenues increased $2.6 million from
the prior quarter with the Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) revenues up $6.5 million as healthcare
markets begin to show some improvement
-- Security Technology business revenues decreased $5.9 million
versus Q4 2009 due to fewer shipments of eXaminer(R) 3DX systems,
reflecting a delay in orders from the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA)
-- eXaminer(R) XLB, ultra-high-throughput baggage scanner, received
formal certification from the TSA and first order for delivery in
fiscal Q3 2010
-- Signed a major development contract with Smiths Detection for the
development of high precision CT detection subsystems for use in
a next-generation explosives detection system to be manufactured
and marketed by Smiths
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2009, were $95.4 million, compared with fourth quarter revenues of $98.3 million and the prior fiscal year's first quarter revenues of $101.6 million. Income from operations for the first quarter was breakeven compared with a loss of ($2.6) million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 which included $3.1 million of restructuring charges, and a loss of ($1.6) million in the prior year's first quarter. Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $26,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with a loss of ($0.3) million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the prior year's first quarter.
On an adjusted, non-GAAP basis, income from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $1.9 million compared with $1.4 million in the fourth quarter and $1.7 million in the prior year's first quarter. Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and $2.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the prior year's first quarter. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release.
Jim Green, president and CEO, commented, "We are encouraged in our Medical Technology business as we have returned to profitability and are starting to see indications that the medical imaging markets are beginning to improve, as reflected by the increased order volume of our CT and MRI sub-systems during the quarter. While we are experiencing near-term lumpiness in our security business, we expect to return to normal run rates in the second half of our fiscal year and are committed to profitability in this business for the fiscal year. In addition, we are pleased to have announced our new relationship with Smiths Detection, a recognized leader in the aviation security field, as this represents a long-term growth opportunity for Analogic."
Green concluded, "As we have stated previously, one of our key financial goals is to achieve double-digit operating margins by FY2012. We are committed to achieving significant improvement in our operating margins, even at our current revenue run rate, through organic measures that are within our control. We will continue to focus on driving efficiencies throughout our businesses. Specifically, we have assembled a world-class operations team that is driving down our cost position by consolidating manufacturing operations, improving planning and supply chain management processes, increasing the use of automation in our manufacturing operations, and pursuing design-driven product cost reductions. Our recently announced presence in China provides additional low cost manufacturing and supply chain opportunities. We are confident that focusing on these and other items will drive enhanced
profitability in each of the next three years on our pathway to double-digit operating margins by FY2012. We look forward to executing on these objectives and delivering value to shareholders."
Segment Revenues
Revenues from our CT and MRI segment, previously referred to as Medical Imaging, were $57.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, up $6.5 million from the fourth quarter and down $1.5 million over the prior year's first quarter. Revenues were up during the first quarter, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, as the major medical OEMs have begun to increase their demand for new CT and MRI sub-systems.
Digital Radiography revenues were $8.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, down $0.2 million from the fourth quarter and up $0.7 million over the prior year. Demand for the Company's Selenium-based digital detector plates continues to grow as sales of digital mammography systems increase outside the U.S.
Our Specialized Ultrasound segment, previously referred to as BK Medical, generated revenues of $20.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, down $3.7 million from the fourth quarter and up $1.1 million from the prior year. The decrease in revenue during the first quarter primarily reflects seasonality in the business.
Security Technology revenues were $6.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, down $5.9 million from the fourth quarter and down $6.0 million from a year earlier primarily due to order delays from our OEM customer, L-3 Communications. We understand that these delays were driven by delays in TSA orders for checked baggage screening systems. The delay in order flow will impact segment revenues for the current fiscal year, but we are committed to profitability in this business. Separately, we were pleased to see that the eXaminer XLB received formal certification from the TSA and the first order was received for system delivery in the third fiscal quarter. In addition, a contract was signed with a new security OEM customer, Smiths Detection, to develop high precision CT detection subsystem components for a next-generation checked-baggage explosives detection system.
Use of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes adjusted non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The adjusted non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. An explanation and a reconciliation of our adjusted non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
The Company provides adjusted non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted non-GAAP income from operations, adjusted non-GAAP income before income taxes, adjusted non-GAAP net income and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to GAAP regarding the Company's operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to these non-GAAP financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Share-based compensation expense. The Company incurs expense
related to share-based compensation included in its GAAP
presentation of cost of sales, research and development, selling
and marketing, general and administrative expense. Although
share-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed
as a form of compensation, these expenses vary in amount from
period to period, and are affected by market forces that are
difficult to predict and are not within the control of
management, such as the market price and volatility of the
Company's shares, risk-free interest rates, and the expected term
and forfeiture rates of the awards. In accordance with SFAS No.
123(R), share-based compensation expense is calculated as of the
grant date of each share-based award, and generally cannot be
changed or influenced by management after the grant date.
Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows
comparisons of operating results that are consistent between
periods and allows comparisons of the Company's operating results
to those of other companies that disclose adjusted non-GAAP
financial measures that exclude share-based compensation.
Acquisition related expenses. The Company incurs amortization of
intangibles and other expenses related to acquisitions it has
made in recent years. The intangible assets are valued at the
time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several
years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or
influenced by management after the acquisition. Management
believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of
operating results that are consistent over time for both our
newly acquired and long-held businesses.
Restructuring charges. The Company continuously strives to
improve its operating efficiency. During the three months ended
July 31, 2009, the Company reduced its work force by 85 employees
or approximately 6% worldwide and vacated 50% of its office
facility in Canton, MA on July 31, 2009 as a result of moving
certain operations to our Peabody facility. The total cost of
these activities was $3,131,000, which was recorded as an
operating expense during the three months ended July 31, 2009.
Gain on sale of other investments. During the three months ended
July 31, 2009, the Company received $838,000 as the final escrow
payment related to the sale of its interest in Bio-Imaging
Research ("BIR") was recorded as other income in the three months
ended July 31, 2009.
Taxes. For purposes of calculating adjusted non-GAAP net income
and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, management
adjusts the provision (benefit) for income taxes to tax effect
the non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a
significant impact on the Company's income tax provision
(benefit).
Periodically, the Company recognizes certain non-recurring tax
adjustments. In the three months ended July 31, 2009, the company
recorded $244,000 for a tax refund and related interest. As these
adjustments do not reflect the underlying performance of the
business they have been excluded from adjusted Non-GAAP net
income.
Management excludes the above-described expenses, their related tax impact and other non-recurring tax benefits in evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in the Company's operations, and allocating resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. The Company believes that these adjusted non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
These adjusted non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Further, these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following table reconciles the adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
