Hologic Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2018

Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today the Company’s financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended September 29, 2018.

“Hologic posted solid results in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018,” said Steve MacMillan, Hologic’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We clearly finished the year in a much stronger position than when we started, as underlying growth improved in our largest businesses, Breast Health and Molecular Diagnostics. In addition, International sales continued to show robust growth, and we completed two attractive tuck-in acquisitions to bolster our Breast Health business.”

Recent Highlights

  • U.S. Breast Health revenue of $254.5 million increased 5.4% compared to the prior year period.
  • Molecular Diagnostics revenue increased 2.9%, or 3.4% in constant currency, to $158.0 million. Excluding $9.5 million of non-recurring royalty revenue in the prior year period, molecular diagnostics revenue increased 9.7%, or 10.2% in constant currency.
  • International revenue of $198.4 million increased 4.5%, or 6.3% in constant currency.
• Completed the acquisition of Focal Therapeutics on October 1, 2018, strengthening the Company’s breast surgery franchise, for approximately $125 million.
• Continued to launch new products, including the Group B Streptococcus (GBS) assay on the Panther Fusion system and the Fluent fluid management system for hysteroscopic procedures.
• Final cervical cancer screening recommendations from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) retained “A” grade for Pap + HPV (co-testing) for women ages 30 to 65.

Other Financial Highlights

• U.S. revenue of $615.1 million increased 0.3%. International revenue of $198.4 million increased 4.5%, or 6.3% in constant currency.
• Gross margin was 51.8% on a GAAP basis, and 61.8% on a non-GAAP basis. GAAP gross margin decreased 20 basis points, while non-GAAP gross margin decreased 230 basis points, primarily due to geographic and product sales mix, $9.5 million of non-recurring royalties in the prior year period, and refunds and rebates totaling $6.8 million associated with the previously announced marketing suspension of our TempSure Vitalia product.
• GAAP net income of $50.5 million decreased 38.9% due primarily to a $34.8 million charge associated with the settlement of a long-standing patent infringement dispute with Smith & Nephew pertaining to the MyoSure system. Adjusted non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $263.3 million, an increase of 0.2%.
• Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $3.3 billion. The Company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $666.7 million, and a net leverage ratio (net debt over adjusted EBITDA) of 2.6 times.
• On a trailing 12 months basis, adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of 12.6% was flat versus the prior year.
• Free cash flow for fiscal 2018 was $687.3 million, excluding $60 million of tax recapture payments associated with extinguishing the Company’s convertible debt.

Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2019

Hologic’s financial guidance for the first quarter and fiscal year 2019 is shown in the tables immediately below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 23%, and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 276 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2019 as in fiscal 2018. Current guidance assumes that recent foreign exchange rates persist for all of fiscal 2019.

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) additional depreciation expense from acquired fixed assets and accelerated depreciation related to consolidation and closure of facilities; (iii) additional expenses 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 and facility closure and consolidation charges and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions (including retention, transaction bonuses, legal and professional consulting services) and separate divested businesses from existing operations; (vi) transaction related expenses for divestitures and acquisitions; (viii) gains/losses on disposal of a business; (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 (benefits); (x) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains resulting from the sale of investments; (xi) the one-time discrete impact of tax reform primarily related to remeasuring net deferred tax liabilities; (xii) 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 (xiii) 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.

(7)			To reflect realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale marketable securities.
(8)			To reflect non-cash unrealized gains and losses on the mark-to market on outstanding forward foreign currency contracts, which do not qualify for hedge accounting.
(9)			To reflect a non-income tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 of $4.0 million as the Company settled a non-income tax issue under audit.

(10)			To reflect the amount of debt issuance costs recorded directly to interest expense as a result of refinancing the Company's Credit Agreement and Senior Notes in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2018, respectively.
(11)			To reflect the discrete impact of tax reform to the provision for income taxes effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The primary benefit on a year to date basis was due to re-measuring the Company’s domestic net deferred tax liabilities at a significantly lower federal tax rate. The impact to the fourth quarter income tax provision was primarily due to an additional re-measurement of deferred taxes in the quarter.
(12)			To reflect an estimated annual effective tax rate of 23.0% and 30.5% for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(13)			Non-GAAP earnings per share was calculated based on 274,981 and 277,850 weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three and twelve months ended September 29, 2018, respectively, and 284,741 and 285,653 for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

(18)			To reflect a goodwill impairment charge in the Medical Aesthetics reportable segment, which is comprised solely of the Cynosure business. The Company identified impairment indicators in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and performed an interim goodwill impairment test, which resulted in the fair value of the reporting unit being significantly less than its carrying value.

(20)			To reflect miscellaneous non-operating charges.
(21)			To reflect interest expense accrued as required by law related to the value owed to the Cynosure shareholders who dissented and did not tender their shares as they are challenging the value of the acquisition.
