MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today the Company's financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 26, 2016. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.24 increased 41.2%, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.47 increased 14.6%. Revenue of $693.3 million increased 5.8% on a reported basis, and 6.3% on a constant currency basis.

"We posted another good quarter, highlighted by 14.6% growth in non-GAAP EPS," said Steve MacMillan, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The strength of our business model was evident at multiple levels in the quarter. Our U.S. businesses grew revenue at a double-digit rate, we improved both gross and operating margins while making significant investments in our future, and we aggressively redeployed capital, leading to EPS growth more than double the rate of sales."

Key financial results for the fiscal second 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.

Other revenue highlights:


    --  U.S. sales of $547.9 million increased 10.6%, continuing strong recent
        trends.
    --  International sales of $145.4 million decreased (9.3%) on a reported
        basis, or (7.0%) in constant currency, driven by inventory fluctuations
        in blood screening and discontinued products in Breast Health. 
        Excluding these two factors, international sales increased slightly in
        the quarter on a constant currency basis.
    --  Breast Health revenue totaled $275.8 million, an increase of 8.0% on a
        reported basis, or 8.4% in constant currency.  In the United States,
        revenue increased 11.2%, as adoption of Hologic's Genius(TM) 3D
        Mammography(TM) systems continued to grow.  Internationally, revenue
        declined (5.5%) on a reported basis, or (3.3%) in constant currency. 
        However, excluding sales of discontinued products from the prior year
        period, international revenues increased at a low-single-digit rate.
    --  In Diagnostics:
        --  Molecular diagnostics sales of $126.1 million increased 5.4% on a
            reported basis, or 5.8% in constant currency.  Growth was primarily
            driven by continued strength across Aptima® women's health products
            on the fully automated Panther® and Tigris® platforms,
            particularly in the United States.
        --  Cytology and perinatal sales of $116.1 million increased 2.5% on a
            reported basis, or 3.5% in constant currency.  Of note, U.S. sales
            increased at a mid-single-digit rate.
        --  Blood screening revenue totaled $62.2 million, a decrease of (2.4%)
            on both a reported and constant currency basis that was driven
            primarily by ordering patterns by Hologic's partner Grifols.
    --  In GYN Surgical, MyoSure® sales of $35.4 million increased 29.2% on a
        reported basis, or 29.8% in constant currency.  NovaSure® sales of
        $55.2 million increased 8.1% on a reported basis, or 9.3% in constant
        currency.
    --  In Skeletal Health, revenue of $22.2 million declined (8.5%) on a
        reported basis, or (8.2%) in constant currency, due primarily to
        distributor ordering patterns internationally.

Expense Detail

Gross margin was 55.5% on a GAAP basis, and 65.8% on a non-GAAP basis. Compared to the prior year period, non-GAAP gross margin improved 240 basis points, mainly due to strong domestic sales growth, favorable product mix, and operational improvements.

Operating expenses were $248.9 million on a GAAP basis, and $221.2 million on a non-GAAP basis. Operating expenses increased mainly due to planned investments in Breast Health and Diagnostics marketing, and research and development.

Other Key Financial Results

Adjusted non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $253.8 million in the fiscal second quarter, an increase of 6.4% compared to the prior year period.

Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $3.4 billion, a decrease of ($0.5) billion 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.

Strong profit growth and lower debt have improved Hologic's return on invested capital (ROIC), which was 11.7% on a trailing 12 months basis, a 170 basis point increase compared to the prior year period.

Hologic redeployed cash aggressively in the quarter to continue improving its capital structure and enhance future earnings power. The Company repurchased $90 million of its 2010 Convertible Notes for $140.1 million, and $136.6 million of its 2012 Convertible Notes for $171.3 million. In addition, the Company repurchased 4.3 million shares of its common stock for $148.8 million.

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; adjusted EBITDA; and return on invested capital (ROIC). 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) unrealized gains/losses attributable to recording forward foreign currency contracts to fair value for which the company has not elected hedge accounting; (vii) litigation settlement charges (benefits); (viii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains resulting from the sale of investments; (ix) 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 (x) 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. The Company defines ROIC as its net operating profit after tax on a trailing twelve month basis divided by average net debt plus average stockholders' equity.

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.
