WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR), a global leader in rapid diagnostics and health information solutions, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Namal Nawana, Chief Executive Officer and President of Alere said, "We made great progress during the third quarter to reset our strategic direction to focus on our strengths as the Global Leader in Rapid Diagnostics. Doing so has allowed us to begin to execute a significant cost reduction program and to clearly identify non-core assets for disposition. As we announced earlier today, the agreement that we reached with Optum for the disposition of our Alere Health organization is a great step towards simplifying and focusing our organization and achieving our strategic goals."

Financial results for the third quarter of 2014:


    --  Net revenue of $736.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to
        $753.3 million for the third quarter of 2013.  Non-GAAP adjusted net
        revenue was $736.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to
        $753.9 million for the third quarter of 2013.
    --  Loss from continuing operations of $98.6 million attributable to common
        shareholders of Alere Inc., and respective net loss per diluted common
        share of $1.19 for the third quarter of 2014, compared to net loss from
        continuing operations of $21.7 million attributable to common
        shareholders of Alere Inc., and respective net loss per diluted common
        share of $0.27 for the third quarter of 2013.
    --  Non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to
        common shareholders of Alere Inc. per diluted common share of $0.48 for
        the third quarter of 2014, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income from
        continuing operations attributable to common shareholders per diluted
        common share of $0.61 for the third quarter of 2013.
    --  Net product and services revenue from our Professional Diagnostics
        segment was $581.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to net
        product and services revenue of $587.3 million in the third quarter of
        2013. Non-GAAP adjusted net product and services revenue from our
        Professional Diagnostics segment was $582.1 million in the third quarter
        of 2014, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net product and services revenue
        of $587.8 million in the third quarter of 2013.
    --  U.S. influenza and meter-based Triage product revenues were $15.0
        million and $15.8 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2014,
        compared to $18.3 million and $17.7 million, respectively, for the third
        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 1.2%. This decrease reflects a 5.4% decrease in adjusted
        U.S. revenues, compared to the third quarter of 2013, offset by a 3.3%
        increase in our international business.  The decrease in the U.S.
        business principally relates to lower revenues from sales of Beckman
        Coulter BNP tests due to supply constraints and to lower pain management
        revenues in our Toxicology business.  New products contributed favorably
        to our overall adjusted growth rate, with sales of CD4 products
        increasing from $5.0 million in Q3 2013 to $7.6 million in Q3 2014 and
        Epoc sales increasing from $5.7 million to $6.7 million for the same
        periods.
    --  Net product and services revenue from our Health Information Solutions
        segment was $123.9 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to
        $133.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, reflecting growth in our
        patient self-testing business from $27.0 million in the third quarter of
        2013 to $30.2 million in the third quarter of 2014.
    --  Gross margin was 46.6% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2014,
        compared to 49.0% in the third 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 49.6% of non-GAAP adjusted net revenue in the third
        quarter of 2014, compared to 52.1% in the third quarter of 2013 and
        48.4% in the second quarter of 2014.
    --  Non-GAAP adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses were
        $207.1 million or 28.1% of adjusted net revenue in the third quarter of
        2014, compared to $218.8 million or 29.0% of adjusted net revenue in the
        third quarter of 2014.  Non-GAAP adjusted research and development
        expense was $31.6 million, or 4.3% of adjusted net revenue, compared to
        $37.1 million, or 4.9% of adjusted net revenues, in Q3 2013
    --  Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2014 was a $62.9 million,
        reflecting cash flow from operations of $91.7 million, offset by capital
        expenditures of $28.8 million.  Of the $91.7 million of operating cash
        flows during the third quarter, $96.4 million was cash flows from
        continuing operations.
    --  Non-GAAP EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was $129.4 million, which
        reflects adjustments to add back non-interest related restructuring
        charges of $17.9 million, $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs and
        $6.2 million of costs associated with potential business dispositions. 
        On a last-twelve-months basis, our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, with
        restructuring, acquisition and other costs added back, was $630.3
        million, resulting in a net debt to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA ratio of
        5.3 times.

The Company's GAAP results for the third quarter of 2014 exclude $0.3 million of revenue associated with acquired software license contracts that are not recognized due to business combination accounting rules and include $66.1 million of amortization, $17.9 million of restructuring charges, $3.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $6.2 million of costs associated with potential business dispositions, $0.4 million of interest expense recorded in connection with fees paid for certain debt modifications, $0.7 million in compensation charges and $0.1 million of related interest accretion associated with acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, $0.4 million loss on the sale of our equity investment in Vedalab S.A., offset by the reversal of $5.5 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration. The Company's GAAP results for the third quarter of 2013 exclude $0.5 million of revenue associated with acquired software license contracts that are not recognized due to business combination accounting rules and include amortization of $82.4 million, $7.8 million of restructuring charges, $5.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, $2.7 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration, $0.4 million of interest expense recorded in connection with fees paid for certain debt modifications, $0.8 million in compensation charges and $0.1 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., $5.5 million of costs associated with the proxy contest, a $5.9 million loss associated with the disposition of our Spinreact, S.A. subsidiary located in Spain and a $0.04 million adjustment to the 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 available to common stockholders", 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 available to common stockholders" are not standard financial measurements
     under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an

    (1)In calculating "Non-GAAP adjusted operating income" and "Non-GAAP adjusted net income available to common stockholders",
     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 available to
     common stockholders" are not standard financial measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United

    Comments:

    In calculating "Non-GAAP 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 "Non-GAAP 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, "Non-GAAP 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 "Non-GAAP 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 "Non-GAAP 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, "Non-GAAP 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.
