Analogic Corporation Reports Results for Its Second Quarter 2007
PEABODY, Mass., Mar 07, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading designer and
manufacturer of high-precision health and security imaging equipment,
announced today results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2007.
Revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter ended
January 31, 2007, were $88,358,000, compared with the prior year’s
second quarter revenues from continuing operations of $100,011,000, a
decrease of 12%. Income from continuing operations for the second
quarter before discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle was $5,420,000, or $0.39 per diluted
share, compared to $9,097,000, or $0.66 per diluted share, a year
earlier.
Income attributable to the gain on disposal of discontinued
operations for the prior year’s second quarter ended January 31, 2006,
was $20,640,000, or $1.50 per diluted share.
Net income for the second quarter ended January 31, 2007, was
$5,420,000, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $29,737,000, or
$2.16 per diluted share, for the prior year’s second quarter. The
Company had previously reported a net loss of $5,360,000, or a $0.39
net loss per diluted share in the current year’s first quarter ended
October 31, 2006. The first quarter ended October 31, 2006, included
pre-tax asset impairment charges of $9,705,000 associated with the
Company’s digital radiography systems business.
Revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended
January 31, 2007, were $163,960,000, compared with the prior year’s
six-month revenues from continuing operations of $186,421,000, a
decrease of 12%. Income from continuing operations before discontinued
operations and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle for the six-month period was $60,000, or $0.00 per diluted
share, compared to $10,160,000, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the
same period a year earlier. The financial results for the six months
ended January 31, 2006, include pre-tax restructuring and asset
impairment charges of $2,707,000, of which $2,216,000 was associated
with the Company’s former SKY Computers subsidiary.
Income attributable to discontinued operations, the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle, and the gain on disposal
of discontinued operations for the six months ended January 31, 2006,
was $20,919,000, or $1.52 per diluted share. The $20,919,000 includes
a net gain of $20,640,000 after taxes, or $1.50 per diluted share,
from the sale of our Camtronics Medical Systems subsidiary on November
1, 2005.
Net income for the first six months ended January 31, 2007, was
$60,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with $31,079,000, or
$2.26 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.
The decrease in revenue was due primarily to the expected decline
in the sales of the Company’s EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography
(EXACT™) security imaging systems. Security technology product
revenues were down $11,105,000, or 44%, over the prior year’s second
quarter, as the Company shipped 18 EXACTs compared to 44 units a year
earlier. As a result of the $31-36 million order the Company received
for EXACTs in September 2006, a more regular shipment schedule is
anticipated, but at a significantly lower rate than the Company
enjoyed in the first half of last year, when 79 units were shipped.
Engineering revenues were lower as well because a number of
engineering projects were completed and transferred to production
during the quarter.
Ed Becker, President and Chief Operating Officer, noted, “The core
medical technology business continued its strong performance this
quarter. Shipments of Data Acquisition Systems (DASs) for CT were up
18% over a very strong second quarter a year ago, and shipments of
power systems for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems were up
11%. Sales of ultrasound probes by the Company’s Sound Technology,
Inc., (STI) subsidiary exceeded expectations, and shipments of
clinical ultrasound systems by B-K Medical improved over the prior
second quarter.”
During the quarter, prototypes of the new KING COBRA™
Explosives Detection System (EDS), designed to screen checked luggage
at small to mid-sized airports, and the XLB1100 EDS, designed for
high-speed screening of checked luggage at high-traffic airports, were
placed at Boston’s Logan International Airport for data gathering and
are on schedule to be submitted to the U.S. Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) for certification over the course of the calendar
year. Prototypes of the COBRA checkpoint security system are being
prepared for shipment to four airports in the very near future, and
the system should be submitted for certification shortly thereafter.
The AN6400 EXACT system upgrade has completed field evaluations. The
Company is now awaiting a TSA determination of what airports should
receive system upgrades.
Bernard Gordon, Executive Chairman (Principal Executive Officer),
said, “During our first-quarter earnings call, a ten-point program to
get the Company back on track was articulated. Overall, I believe we
are making considerable progress on that program. Total operating
expenses decreased by $2,938,000 for the quarter, compared to a year
earlier, due to lower research and development costs and lower general
and administrative expenses. We are continuing to evaluate the various
aspects of our digital radiography businesses as well as our overall
business model, and are making good progress in our search for a new
Chief Executive Officer. As a result, I believe we are building a
strong foundation for renewed long-term growth for the Company as The
World Resource for Health and Security Technology.”
