MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today the Company's financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended April 1, 2017. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.84 increased 666.7% compared to the prior year period as the sale of the blood screening business resulted in a significant gain, while non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.50 increased 6.4%. Revenue of $715.4 million increased 3.2%, or 3.8% in constant currency terms. Excluding the effects of blood screening and the acquired Cynosure business, base business revenue increased 4.7%, or 5.4% in constant currency terms, while non-GAAP diluted EPS grew 21.6%.

"Hologic posted good financial results in the second quarter, with both revenues and EPS exceeding our guidance," said Steve MacMillan, Hologic's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our base business revenue grew 5.4% on a constant currency basis, led by our molecular diagnostics, surgical and international franchises. And at the same time, it was a transformational quarter from a strategic perspective, as we strengthened our portfolio of businesses for the long-term."

Key financial results for the fiscal second quarter are shown in the table below. Results were affected by the divestiture of blood screening, which included a large, one-time gain on a GAAP basis, and the acquisition of Cynosure. Because both transactions closed in the second quarter, Hologic's financial results contain partial-quarter contributions from both blood screening and Cynosure.

* Represents revenue recorded by Hologic from March 22, when the Cynosure acquisition closed, through quarter-end.

Throughout this press release, all dollar figures are in millions, except EPS. Some totals may not foot due to rounding. Unless otherwise noted, all results are compared to the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP results exclude a number of cash and non-cash items as discussed under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Revenue Detail

Revenue growth in the second quarter was led by molecular diagnostics and the GYN Surgical division. As discussed above, blood screening sales declined because Hologic owned the business for only part of the quarter, while medical aesthetics sales were for a partial quarter as well.

Expense Detail

Gross margin was 54.3% on a GAAP basis, and 63.9% on a non-GAAP basis. GAAP gross margin declined by 120 basis points. Non-GAAP gross margin declined 190 basis points due to a decrease in blood screening sales and an unfavorable product mix in GYN Surgical. These factors were partially offset by strong pricing trends in Breast Health and increased sales of Aptima® women's health assays.

Operating expenses were ($611.1) million on a GAAP basis, primarily due to a one-time gain of $899.7 million on the sale of the blood screening business. Operating expenses were $223.0 million on a non-GAAP basis, an increase of 0.8% that resulted mainly from the inclusion of Cynosure expenses for part of the quarter.

Hologic's effective tax rate was 45.6% on a GAAP basis, and 31.0% on a non-GAAP basis.

Other Key Financial Results

GAAP net income was $526.8 million, an increase of 664.8% (inclusive of the blood screening gain). Adjusted non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $255.9 million, an increase of 0.8%.

Operating cash flow was $83.8 million. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $58.7 million.

Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $3.3 billion, a decrease of ($0.1) billion compared to the prior year period.

The Company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $1.1 billion.

The combination of lower net debt and EBITDA growth helped improve Hologic's leverage ratio (net debt over adjusted EBITDA) to 2.1 times in the quarter. The company expects to pay the majority of the taxes on the gain associated with the blood screening sale in the fiscal third quarter. Taking this into account, Hologic's leverage ratio would have been approximately 2.7 times for the quarter.

Strong profit growth and lower debt have continued to improve Hologic's adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC). On a trailing 12 months basis, adjusted ROIC of 13.2% improved 150 basis points compared to the prior year period.

Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2017

"We are updating our 2017 financial guidance based on our good second-quarter results and the completion of our Cynosure acquisition," said Bob McMahon, the Company's chief financial officer. "Underlying our forecast, we continue to expect solid, mid-single-digit growth in our ongoing, base business."

Hologic's financial guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 31%, and diluted shares outstanding of between 287 and 289 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2017 as in fiscal 2016. Current guidance assumes that recent foreign exchange rates persist for all of fiscal 2017.

Hologic's financial guidance for fiscal 2017 is shown in the two tables immediately below. As a reminder, the Company's current guidance includes partial-year contributions from both the divested blood screening business and the acquired Cynosure business.

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 profit; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP income from operations; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP interest expense; non-GAAP pre-tax income; non-GAAP net margin; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP diluted EPS; adjusted EBITDA and return on invested capital. Constant currency presentations show reported period operating results as if the foreign exchange rates remain the same as those in effect in the comparable prior year period. 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) additional expense resulting from the purchase accounting adjustment to record inventory at fair value (iv) non-cash interest expense related to amortization of the debt discount from the equity conversion option of the convertible notes; (v) restructuring and divestiture charges, facility closure and consolidation charges and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions and separate divested businesses from existing operations; (vi) transaction related expenses for divestitures and acquisitions; (vii) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (viii) the unrealized (gains) losses on the mark-to-market of forward foreign currency contracts for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting; (ix) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges; (x) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized (gains) losses resulting from the sale of investments; (xi) other one-time, non-recurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results as detailed in our reconciliations of such adjustments; and (xii) 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 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.
