Expense Detail

Gross margin was 54.5% on a GAAP basis, and 65.2% on a non-GAAP basis. Gross margin improved mainly due to strong domestic sales growth, favorable product mix, and operational improvements. These benefits were partially offset by a stronger U.S. dollar.

Operating expenses were $253.0 million on a GAAP basis, and $221.0 million on a non-GAAP basis. Operating expenses increased mainly due to marketing investments in the Breast Health and Diagnostics divisions, as well as higher variable compensation and benefits expense.

Other Key Financial Results

Operating cash flow was $164.3 million, an increase of 7.0% compared to the prior year period. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $144.6 million.

Adjusted non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $252.0 million, an increase of 8.1% compared to the prior year period.

Total debt outstanding at the end of the fiscal first quarter was $3,632.4 million, a decrease of $322.4 million compared to the prior year period. The combination of lower debt and EBITDA growth has helped improve Hologic's leverage ratio (net debt over EBITDA) to 3.1 times.

Similarly, strong profit growth and lower debt have improved Hologic's return on invested capital (ROIC), which was 11.3% on a trailing 12 months basis, a 160 basis point increase compared to the prior year period.

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $650.3 million.

Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2016

"Building on our solid performance in the first quarter, we are updating our fiscal 2016 revenue guidance based on a stronger U.S. dollar, but increasing our EPS guidance to reflect greater-than-expected earnings power," said Bob McMahon, the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

The guidance below is based on recent foreign exchange rates, an improved full-year tax rate of approximately 33%, and diluted shares outstanding of between 296 and 298 million for the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: constant currency revenues; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP EPS; and adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income, EPS, and other non-GAAP financial measures to exclude, as applicable: (i) the amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; (ii) additional depreciation expense from acquired fixed assets and accelerated depreciation related to consolidation and closure of facilities; (iii) non-cash interest expense related to amortization of the debt discount from the equity conversion option of the convertible notes; (iv) restructuring and divestiture charges and facility and consolidation charges; (v) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (vi) litigation settlement charges (benefits); (vii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains resulting from the sale of investments; (viii) other one-time, non-recurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results; and (ix) income taxes related to such adjustments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of Hologic's historical operating results, comparison to competitors' operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Hologic's business.

Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.

Future Non-GAAP Adjustments

Future GAAP EPS may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, and may also be affected by non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, which are excluded in the calculation of the Company's non-GAAP EPS guidance as described in this press release. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile non-GAAP EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure.
