Die 2007-Zahlen: Bob Antin, Chairman and CEO, stated, "The company had a very good year in 2007 with annual consolidated revenue increasing over 17% to $1.16 billion. During 2007, each of our business segments continued to grow through solid organic growth and our successful animal hospital acquisition program. In addition to the acquisition of Healthy Pet Corp. that comprised 42 animal hospitals with annual revenues of approximately $80.0 million, we acquired 29 individual animal hospitals with annual revenue of over $57.0 million. For the year, animal hospital same-store revenue growth was 5.2% and laboratory internal revenue growth was 13.5%. "We believe that, historically, the animal healthcare industry and our business have been relatively resistant to changes in the general economy, but not immune to them. However, the fourth quarter results appear to indicate that we were marginally impacted by the uncertainty in the economy. In addition, the timing of the Christmas and New Year holidays, the California fires, the weather and competition also had an adverse impact on our results. As a result of these factors, during the fourth quarter, and particularly the second half of the quarter, our internal revenue growth slowed. Animal hospital same-store revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 2.5% and laboratory internal revenue growth was 9.1%. Our revenue guidance for 2008 represents a 13% to 15% increase from 2007, with acquisitions contributing approximately 8% to 9% and organic growth contributing 5% to 6%. |
