MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today the Company's financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended September 26, 2015. The Company reported revenue of $702.8 million, GAAP diluted EPS of $0.09, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.43.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 grew 12.2% on a constant currency basis, while non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 13.2%. These growth rates exclude from the prior year period the one-time benefit of amending the Company's license agreement with Roka Bioscience. This amendment added $20.1 million to revenue, and $0.05 to EPS, in the prior year results.

"Hologic's strong fourth quarter financial results capped off an outstanding year in which our people and our products enabled us to exceed expectations across the board," said Steve MacMillan, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter, revenue again increased at a double-digit rate on a constant currency basis excluding the one-time Roka benefit, while earnings per share grew even faster. And importantly, all four of our primary businesses grew in the United States and Internationally on a constant currency basis."

Key financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter are shown below. Throughout this press release, all dollar figures are in millions, except EPS. Unless otherwise noted, all results are on a reported basis, and are compared to the prior year period.

* These results include the one-time benefit of amending the Company's license agreement with Roka. Excluding this benefit (all of which was in the U.S.), Q4'14 total revenues would have been $640.5 million, non-GAAP gross margin would have been 63.6%, non-GAAP operating margin would have been 32.5%, non-GAAP net income would have been $106.9 million, non-GAAP diluted EPS would have been $0.38, and Diagnostics revenues would have been $297.1 million.

** Including the Roka benefit, Diagnostics revenue decreased (2.2%) in constant currency terms, and total revenue growth was 8.8%.

Other revenue highlights include:


    --  On a constant currency basis, revenues grew at double-digit rates both
        domestically and internationally. U.S. revenues of $538.1 million
        increased 7.7%, or 12.2% excluding the one-time Roka benefit from the
        prior year. International revenues of $164.7 million increased 2.5%, or
        12.5% on a constant currency basis.
    --  In Breast Health, revenue from breast imaging products and service
        totaled $241.6 million, an increase of 23.1% on a reported basis and
        26.2% on a constant currency basis, as uptake of Hologic's Genius(TM) 3D
        Mammography(TM) systems continued to grow.
    --  In Diagnostics:
        --  Molecular diagnostics sales of $123.2 million decreased (9.0%) in
            constant currency. Excluding the one-time Roka benefit from the
            prior year, molecular diagnostics sales increased 5.1%, or 6.6% on a
            constant currency basis. Growth was primarily due to continued
            strength across Aptima® women's health products on the fully
            automated Panther® and Tigris® platforms.
        --  Cytology and perinatal sales of $120.8 million decreased (0.1%) on a
            reported basis, but increased 3.2% on a constant currency basis.
            International sales grew 10.3% on a constant currency basis, while
            domestic sales were flat.
        --  Blood screening revenue from Hologic's partner Grifols totaled $60.2
            million, an increase of 2.3%. As previously discussed, the growth
            benefit from new business with the Japanese Red Cross annualized in
            the fourth quarter.
    --  In GYN Surgical, MyoSure® system sales of $32.1 million increased 37.2%
        on a reported basis, and 38.6% on a constant currency basis. NovaSure®
        system sales of $54.3 million decreased (0.4%) on a reported basis, but
        grew 2.3% on a constant currency basis.
    --  In Skeletal Health, revenue of $25.5 million grew 8.8% on a reported
        basis, and 13.7% in constant currency, reversing declines seen in the
        third quarter of fiscal 2015.
    --  In the fourth quarter, approximately 60% of total revenues were from
        disposables, 25% were from capital equipment, and 15% were from service
        and other sources.

Expense Detail

Gross margin was 54.0% on a GAAP basis, and 64.6% on a non-GAAP basis. Gross margin improved mainly due to strong domestic sales growth, favorable product mix in the Diagnostics and Breast Health divisions, and operational efficiencies. These benefits were partially offset by a stronger U.S. dollar.

Operating expenses were $253.7 million on a GAAP basis, and $218.7 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 expense. As a percent of sales, non-GAAP operating expenses were flat compared to the prior year period.

Other Key Financial Results

Adjusted non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $250.9 million, an increase of 10.5% excluding the one-time Roka benefit.

Operating cash flow was $232.5 million, an increase of 76.4%, driven by net income growth and working capital efficiencies. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $201.3 million.

Total debt outstanding at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter was $3,639.8 million, a decrease of $627.9 million compared to the prior year period. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $300 million of its 2010 Convertible Notes for $543.7 million, reducing the future dilutive effect of these securities.

The Company ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $492.7 million.

Return on invested capital was 10.9% on a trailing 12 months basis, an improvement of 160 basis points compared to the prior year period.

Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2016

"We are very pleased with our financial performance and prospects as we begin fiscal 2016," said Bob McMahon, Hologic's Chief Financial Officer. "Building on our exceptional performance last year, we anticipate revenues in 2016 to grow at a mid-single-digit rate on a constant currency basis, with earnings per share increasing at roughly double that pace."

The guidance below is based on recent foreign exchange rates, a full-year tax rate of 34%, and diluted shares outstanding of between 302 and 305 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) acquisition-related charges and effects, such as charges for contingent consideration, transaction costs, integration costs including retention, and credits and/or charges associated with the write-up of acquired inventory and fixed assets to fair value; (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 accelerated depreciation expense; (v) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (vi) litigation settlement charges (benefits); (vii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on 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.
