Bio-Rad Reports Second-Quarter 2019 Financial Results

HERCULES, Calif.-August 1, 2019-Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Second-quarter 2019 net sales were $572.6 million, a decrease of 0.6 percent compared to $575.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2018. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly sales increased 2.7 percent compared to the same period in 2018. Second-quarter gross margin was 53.7 percent compared to 52.4 percent during the second quarter in 2018.

Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter were $212.4 million, down 2.5 percent compared to the same period in 2018. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales decreased by 0.1 percent compared to the same quarter in 2018. Sales were strong in the Droplet Digital PCR, Antibody, and Food Safety product lines, moderated by the Process Media product line, in which sales vary from quarter to quarter. Excluding Process Media sales, the Life Science business grew about 7.5 percent, year-over-year on a currency neutral basis.

Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the second quarter were $357.1 million, an increase of 0.9 percent compared to the same period in 2018. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales increased 4.8 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The currency-neutral sales increase was primarily due to solid growth of Quality Controls, Immunology, and Diabetes product lines. Sales during the second quarter of 2019 increased across all three regions.

Net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $598.8 million, or $19.86 per share on a diluted basis versus the second quarter in 2018 in which net income was $268.0 million, or $8.87 per share on a diluted basis. Net income for the second quarters of both 2019 and 2018 were significantly and favorably impacted by recognition, on the income statement, of changes in the fair market value of equity securities of $716.4 million and $286.4 million, respectively, primarily related to the holdings of our investment in Sartorius AG. Other income for the second quarter of 2019 was $3.9 million, compared to $15.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to dividends from our investment in Sartorius AG, which were declared in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 22.2 percent compared to 21.2 percent during the second quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate in both periods was primarily driven by changes in the fair market value of equity securities and a tax reform-related benefit in the second quarter of 2018.

“Performance in the second quarter reflects strength in many of our key product lines across our major geographies,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio‑Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are encouraged by continued improvements of our core operating performance during the quarter as well as the first half of the year, which is helping us to make progress toward reaching our long term goals,” he added.

The following table provides highlights of Bio-Rad’s GAAP and non-GAAP results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:



GAAP Results

Income per Diluted Share	$1.57	$1.64

A reconciliation between GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this press release. Non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of purchased intangibles; acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring, impairment charges and valuation changes in equity-owned investments; gains and losses on equity-method investments; significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs; and discrete income tax events and the income tax effect on these non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS) are non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items detailed later in this press release under the heading “Non-GAAP Reporting.”

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $47.4 million, or $1.57 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $49.5 million, or $1.64 per share on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2018. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 26.4 percent compared to 27.1 percent for the same period in 2018.

The following table represents a reconciliation of Bio-Rad’s reported net income and diluted income per share to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

On a reported basis, net sales for the first half of 2019 decreased 0.1 percent to $1,126.6 million compared to $1,127.4 million for the same period in 2018. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales grew 3.4 percent.

Year-to-date net income for 2019 was $1,464.0 million, or $48.60 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $924.8 million, or $30.63 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2018.

2019 Financial Outlook

For the full year 2019, the company continues to anticipate currency-neutral revenue growth of approximately 4.0 to 4.5 percent and improved profitability with an estimated non-GAAP operating margin of 12.5 to 13.0 percent.

Non-GAAP Reporting

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

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, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: we do not acquire businesses and assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to purchased intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition or purchase. We believe that excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Acquisition-related expenses and benefits: we incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as transaction costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, gain or expense on settlement of pre-existing relationships, etc. We exclude such expenses or benefits as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of our on-going business.

Restructuring, impairment charges and valuation changes in equity owned investments: we incur restructuring and impairment charges on individual or groups of employed assets and charges and benefits arising from valuation changes in equity owned investments, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods.

Significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs: we may incur charges or benefits as well as legal costs in connection with litigation and other contingencies unrelated to our core operations. We exclude these charges or benefits, when significant, as well as legal costs associated with significant legal matters, because we do not believe they are reflective of on-going business and operating results.

Income tax expense: we estimate the tax effect of the items identified to determine a non-GAAP annual effective tax rate applied to the pretax amount in order to calculate the non-GAAP provision for income taxes. We also adjust for items for which the nature and/or tax jurisdiction requires the application of a specific tax rate or treatment.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items excluded if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS), which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring charges; asset impairment charges; valuation changes of equity owned investments; gains and losses on equity-method investments; and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

2019 Financial Outlook

Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin excludes 100 basis points related to amortization of purchased intangibles. Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin does not reflect future gains and charges that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance, such as foreign currency fluctuations, future gains or losses associated with certain legal matters, acquisitions and restructuring activities.
