Financial results for the second quarter of 2014:


    --  Net revenue of $737.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared
        to $764.0 million for the second quarter of 2013.  Non-GAAP adjusted net
        revenue was $738.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to
        $764.6 million for the second quarter of 2013.
    --  Net loss of $55.0 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere
        Inc., and respective net loss per diluted common share of $0.67 for the
        second quarter of 2014, compared to net loss of $65.9 million
        attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc., and respective net
        loss per diluted common share of $0.81 for the second quarter of 2013.
    --  Non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted common share of $0.42 for the
        second quarter of 2014, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income per
        diluted common share of $0.64 for the second quarter of 2013.
    --  Net product and services revenue from our Professional Diagnostics
        segment was $578.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to
        net product and services revenue of $599.6 million in the second quarter
        of 2013. Non-GAAP adjusted net product and services revenue from our
        Professional Diagnostics segment was $578.4 million in the second
        quarter of 2014, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net product and services
        revenue of $600.2 million in the second quarter of 2013.  Recent
        Professional Diagnostics acquisitions contributed $8.4 million of
        incremental net revenue, compared to the second quarter of 2013, offset
        by a $6.8 million decrease in net revenue related to our 2013
        disposition of Spinreact.
    --  U.S. influenza, meter-based Triage products and mail-order diabetes
        revenues were $5.1 million, $16.2 million and $33.0 million,
        respectively, for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $2.0 million,
        $19.3 million and $56.2 million, respectively, for the second quarter of
        2013.
    --  Excluding the impact of the change in U.S. influenza revenues and the
        impact on revenues from the U.S. meter-based Triage product sales,
        currency-adjusted organic growth in our Professional Diagnostics segment
        was negative 5.0%. This growth rate was adversely impacted by the
        decrease in reimbursement rates that became effective on July 1, 2013
        for our U.S. mail-order diabetes business.  Excluding revenues from our
        U.S. mail-order diabetes business and considering the flu and Triage
        adjustments, the currency-adjusted organic growth rate for the second
        quarter of 2014 was 0.4% for the remainder of our Professional
        Diagnostics segment.
    --  The 0.4% adjusted organic growth rate for our Professional Diagnostic
        segment for the second quarter of 2014, adjusted for the impact of the
        U.S. influenza, meter-based Triage products and mail-order diabetes
        revenues as noted above, reflects a 4.1% decrease in adjusted U.S.
        revenues, compared to the second quarter of 2013, offset by a 4.3%
        increase in adjusted net revenues from our international business.  The
        4.1% decrease in the U.S. business principally reflects a continued
        weakness in utilization in our professional business during the quarter,
        coupled with the impacts of a recall of INRatio2 test strips during the
        quarter.
    --  Net product and services revenue from our Health Information Solutions
        segment was $125.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to
        $134.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $123.7 million in the
        first quarter of 2014, as a result of the weak contracting season that
        we experienced during the second half of 2013.
    --  Gross margin was 46.1% of net revenue in the second quarter of 2014,
        compared to 50.3% in the second quarter of 2013.  Non-GAAP adjusted
        gross margins, which exclude from cost of net revenue amortization of
        acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense,
        restructuring charges, and non-cash charges associated with acquired
        inventory, was 48.4% of non-GAAP adjusted net revenue in the second
        quarter of 2014, compared to 52.8% in the second quarter of 2013. The
        lower gross margin in the current period principally reflects reduced
        mail-order diabetes reimbursement rates noted above, as well as revenue
        and cost of sales charges of approximately $7.5 million incurred in the
        quarter in connection with the INRatio2 recall and a recall of Alere
        Triage BNP Tests for Beckman Coulter Immunoassay Systems.
    --  Operating expenses consisting of research and development and selling,
        general and administrative expenses were $348.0 million for the second
        quarter of 2014, compared to $340.1 million for the second quarter of
        2013.  Also included in operating expenses during the second quarter of
        2014 was a $0.6 million loss associated with the disposition of a
        component of our Alere Informatics business.  Non-GAAP adjusted
        operating expenses, which exclude amortization of acquisition-related
        intangibles, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation expense,
        acquisition-related fair value, compensation-related contingent
        consideration charges and acquisition and disposition costs and the loss
        on disposition were $255.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, or
        34.5% of non-GAAP adjusted net revenue, compared to $260.0 million, or
        34.0% of non-GAAP adjusted net revenue, for the second quarter of 2013. 
        During the second quarter, we initiated a workforce reduction which will
        reduce combined operating expenses by approximately $21.3 million
        annually and which had an impact on current quarter expenses of
        approximately $2.1 million.
    --  Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2014 was a negative $7.6
        million, reflecting cash flow from operations of $19.3 million, offset
        by capital expenditures of $26.9 million.  Cash flow from operations
        during the quarter was adversely impacted by the payment of $9.1 million
        of severance charges associated with a workforce reduction, $6.2 million
        of payments associated with costs incurred related to planned
        dispositions and $16.7 million of contingent purchase price payments in
        excess of acquisition date accruals.  Additionally, cash flow from
        operations for the second quarter reflects the payment of $49.6 million
        of semiannual interest payments on Senior and Senior Subordinated Notes.
        Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2013 was a negative $0.8
        million, reflecting cash flow from operations of $27.7 million, offset
        by capital expenditures of $28.5 million.
    --  Non-GAAP EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was $110.2 million, which
        reflects adjustments to add back non-interest related restructuring
        charges of $15.8 million, $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs and
        $11.6 million of costs associated with potential business dispositions. 
        Non-GAAP EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was $166.6 million, which
        reflects adjustments to add back non-interest related restructuring
        charges of $8.0 million and $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs. 
        Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA, which reflects adjustments to add back
        restructuring, acquisition, disposition and proxy related costs, totaled
        $623.7 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared
        to $639.7 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2013, which
        reflects adjustments to add back restructuring and acquisition related
        costs.
    --  Debt, net of cash and restricted cash held to secure debt ("net debt"),
        was $3.38 billion as of June 30, 2014, compared to net debt of $3.56
        billion as of June 30, 2013.  Our net debt to adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA
        ratio was 5.4x as of June 30, 2014, compared to 5.6x as of June 30,
        2013.

The Company's GAAP results for the second quarter of 2014 exclude $0.4 million of revenue associated with acquired software license contracts that are not recognized due to business combination accounting rules and include $66.5 million of amortization, $15.9 million of restructuring charges, $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $16.8 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration, $11.6 million of costs associated with potential business dispositions, $0.4 million of interest expense recorded in connection with fees paid for certain debt modifications, a $0.6 million loss associated with the disposition of a component of our Alere Informatics business, $0.6 million in compensation charges and $0.1 million of related interest accretion associated with acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, offset by the reversal of $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. The Company's GAAP results for the second quarter of 2013 exclude $0.6 million of revenue associated with acquired software license contracts that are not recognized due to business combination accounting rules and include amortization of $79.3 million, $8.1 million of restructuring charges, $4.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $5.3 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration, $0.8 million of interest expense recorded in connection with fees paid for certain debt modifications, $0.5 million in compensation charges and $0.2 million of related interest accretion associated with acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, a $0.7 million charge associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Epocal Inc., $35.6 million of expense associated with the extinguishment of debt and a $5.1 million non-cash write-off of an investment, offset by a $8.1 million bargain purchase gain in connection with our acquisition of the Liberty business.

    (1) In calculating "non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income", the Company excludes (i) certain
     non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and
     income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not
     occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria,
     management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that excluding such charges
     and income from operating income and net income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's
     operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner.  Due to the
     frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust operating income or net income or loss for the
     costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "non-GAAP
     adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income" are not standard financial measurements under accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to

    (1) In calculating "non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income", the Company excludes (i) certain
     non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and
     income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not
     occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a particular item meets one of these
     criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that excluding
     such charges and income from operating income and net income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare
     the Company's operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner.  Due
     to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust operating income or net income or loss for
     the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "non-
     GAAP adjusted operating income" and "non-GAAP adjusted net income" are not standard financial measurements under accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to

    Comments:

    In calculating "adjusted operating income (loss)" in the schedule presented above, the Company excludes from operating income (loss) (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii)
     certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances
     that it believes are relevant.  Management believes that excluding such charges and income from operating income (loss) allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and
     consistent manner.  Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust operating income (loss) for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "adjusted operating income
     (loss)" is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance
     derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, "adjusted operating income (loss)" presented in this schedule may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.


    Reference should also be made to the Company's financial results contained in our earnings press release respective to the periods presented in this schedule, which include a more detailed discussion of the adjustments to the GAAP operating results presented above.

    Comments:

    In calculating "adjusted operating income (loss)" in the schedule presented above, the Company excludes from operating income (loss) (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other
     charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business.  In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant.
     Management believes that excluding such charges and income from operating income (loss) allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner.  Due to the frequency of their
     occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust operating income (loss) for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements.  It should be noted that "adjusted operating income (loss)" is not a standard financial measurement under accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-
     GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, "adjusted operating income (loss)" presented in this schedule may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.


    Reference should also be made to the Company's financial results contained in our earnings press release respective to the periods presented in this schedule, which include a more detailed discussion of the adjustments to the GAAP operating results presented above.
