Analogic Announces Results for the First Quarter Ended October 31, 2017 and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend

Operating Expense Reductions in Fiscal 2017 Yield Improved Profitability; Tightens Guidance Range for Fiscal 2018 on Increased Confidence

PEABODY, Mass., Dec. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2017.

Highlights during the first quarter included:

• • Revenue of $106.9 million with gross margin of 45%

• • GAAP operating margin of 7%; Non-GAAP operating margin of 12%

• • GAAP diluted EPS of $0.45; Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.75

• • Operating cash flow of $14 million

• • Awarded $4 million base contract by TSA for software algorithm development and additional ConneCT prototypes

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $106.9 million, a decrease of 12% compared with revenue of $121.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $5.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $9.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared with $5.4 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the prior year's first quarter. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release.

Fred Parks, president and CEO, commented, "We are encouraged by our results this quarter as our strategy to optimize our Ultrasound portfolio is showing promise. As expected, our strategic redirection coupled with our fiscal 2017 restructuring has yielded improved profitability in Q1 on a lower revenue base. Security continues to show strength in the second half of the year driven by demand for international high-speed checked baggage systems and the recent TSA checkpoint contract."

Parks continued, "The strategic sale process, as previously announced, is progressing as planned. We will provide updates as appropriate."

Segment Revenues for the First Quarter

Medical Imaging segment revenue was $53.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, down 21% from revenue of $67.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2017, primarily due to lower sales in CT associated with previously reported customer sourcing issues combined with lower sales in MR and Mammography.

Ultrasound segment revenue was $37.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, up 4% from revenue of $35.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2017, due to the stronger sales of our bk5000 system for surgery in North America and Europe partially offset by the comparative lower revenue from Oncura veterinary system sales.

Security and Detection segment revenue was $16.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, down 10% from revenue of $18.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2017, mainly due to a stronger comparison from last year and lower service revenue.

Fiscal 2018 Outlook

Total company revenue for fiscal 2018 is expected to be between $450 and $460 million with non-GAAP operating margins of 10% to 11% resulting in non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.75 to $2.90. We expect sequential revenue improvement throughout the remainder of fiscal 2018.

Š With anticipated reductions from our portfolio optimization efforts partially offset by improved performance in our urology and surgery markets, we now expect our Ultrasound revenue for fiscal 2018 to be down low-single digits with positive low-single digit non-GAAP operating margin as the company realizes the benefit of its product portfoliooptimization efforts and lower operating expenses Š Medical Imaging revenue for fiscal 2018 is expected to be down low-double digits with mid-teens non-GAAP operating margin due primarily to the impact of a customer outsourcing decision in CT

Š

Security and Detection revenue for fiscal 2018 is expected to have double-digit growth, with mid-teens non-GAAP operating margin on continued demand for medium-speed and high-speed check baggage screening systemsThe Company does not provide a GAAP operating margin and earnings outlook because it is unable to reliably forecast many of the items that are excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP operating margin and earnings. These items could cause our GAAP operating margins and earnings to differ materially from the corresponding non-GAAP values. For more information, see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

On December 1, 2017, Analogic's Board of Directors declared a $0.10 cash dividend for each common share for its fourth fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2017. The cash dividend will be payable on December 29, 2017, to shareholders of record on December 15, 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement our GAAP financial reporting with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income and expense, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. We have included at the end of this document a reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP financial measure used in this document to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, in forecasting and planning for future periods, and in determining payments under our compensation programs. We also believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of other companies.

With respect to forwarding-looking measures, we provide an outlook for our non-GAAP operating margins and earnings. We do not provide operating margin or earnings outlook on a GAAP basis. Many of the items that we exclude from our non-GAAP operating margin and earnings calculations, such as amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs, restructuring expenses, and one-time tax adjustments, are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management. These items could cause our GAAP operating margins and earnings to vary materially from the corresponding Non-GAAP figures presented in our outlook statements.
