MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 9, 2023--Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today the Company’s financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“Hologic delivered remarkable fiscal 2023 results extending our track record of strong performance with another solid quarter of growth in our fourth quarter,” said Steve MacMillan, the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Each one of our divisions grew double digits organically in the quarter and for the full year excluding the impact of COVID. We are a new Hologic, with more growth drivers, a durable and industry leading margin profile, and an exceptional balance sheet. For fiscal 2024, we are excited to continue to showcase our standout performance, even against strong 2023 comps.”

Recent Highlights

Revenue of $945.3 million decreased (0.8%) for the quarter, or (1.5%) in constant currency, primarily driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period, as expected.
- Excluding COVID-19 revenues, total organic revenue grew 17.5%, or 16.7% on a constant currency basis.
Diagnostics revenue decreased (20.1%), or (20.6%) in constant currency, primarily driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period.
- Excluding COVID-19 revenues, Diagnostics revenue grew 10.2% on an organic, constant currency basis.
- Molecular Diagnostics revenue declined (27.1%), or (27.5%) in constant currency, primarily driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period.
- Excluding COVID-19 revenues, Molecular Diagnostics revenue grew 15.0% on an organic, constant currency basis.
Breast Health revenue increased 28.2%, or 27.4% in constant currency, primarily due to higher capital equipment revenue compared to the prior year period as supply chain headwinds impacted fiscal Q4 2022.
Surgical revenue grew 11.0%, or 10.6% in constant currency, primarily driven by strong results from MyoSure and Fluent Fluid Management.
Cash flow from operations remained strong in the fourth quarter at $258.7 million.
The Company intends to enter into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement for $500 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects the ASR will become effective later in the month and the final settlement of the ASR is expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The ASR will be completed pursuant to a new $500 million share repurchase authorization recently approved by Hologic’s board of directors. The new authorization is in addition to the Company’s prior share repurchase authorization, of which $499 million remained as of September 30, 2023.
The Company repurchased 3.2 million shares of its stock for $238 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Other Financial Highlights

U.S. revenue of $715.5 million decreased (1.8%). International revenue of $229.8 million increased 2.3% and decreased (0.4%) in constant currency.
GAAP gross margin of 52.9% decreased (110) basis points primarily due to the decline in COVID-19 assay sales compared to the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin of 60.4% decreased (210) basis points primarily due to the decline in COVID-19 assay sales compared to the prior year period.
GAAP operating margin of 14.0% decreased (80) basis points primarily due to the decline in COVID-19 assay sales compared to the prior year period, as well as a loss of $51.7 million on assets held-for-sale as a result of the Company’s agreement to sell its SSI ultrasound imaging business. Non-GAAP operating margin of 28.3% increased 40 basis points, primarily due to improved non-COVID base business performance and lower marketing expense, partially offset by lower COVID-19 assay sales compared to the prior year period.
GAAP net income of $90.6 million decreased (23.7%) and Non-GAAP net income of $219.3 million increased 5.7%. GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $213.3 million, a decrease of (19.4%). Adjusted EBITDA was $288.3 million, a decrease of (3.7%).
COVID-19 revenues, which consist of COVID-19 assay revenue of $21.4 million, and other COVID-19 related revenue plus revenue from discontinued products of $24.3 million, decreased (75.6%) on both a reported and constant currency basis.
Total principal debt outstanding at the end of the fourth quarter was $2.84 billion. The Company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $2.72 billion, and a net leverage ratio (net debt over EBITDA) of 0.1 times.
On a trailing 12-month basis, GAAP Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) was 8.6%. Adjusted ROIC was 14.4%, a decrease of (790) basis points compared to the prior year period.

Financial Guidance for the First Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2024

“Hologic delivered strong financial performance in our fiscal fourth quarter of 2023, growing Non-GAAP earnings despite significantly lower COVID testing revenue compared to the prior year,” said Karleen Oberton, Hologic’s chief financial officer. “We are operating from a position of strength as we enter our next fiscal year and expect total organic constant currency revenue excluding COVID to be within our long-term 5% to 7% growth framework at the mid-point for the full year 2024.”

Hologic’s financial guidance for the first quarter and full year 2024 is shown in the table below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 19.75%, and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 239 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2024 as in fiscal 2023. Organic revenue guidance for fiscal 2024 is in constant currency and excludes the divested Blood Screening and SSI ultrasound imaging businesses. Revenue from acquired businesses is generally included in organic revenue guidance starting a year after the acquisition. In fiscal 2024, all recent transactions are part of Hologic’s organic revenue base. Organic revenue excluding COVID-19 is in constant currency and is organic revenue excluding COVID-19 assay revenue, COVID-19 related revenue, and discontinued product sales in Diagnostics.

	Current Guidance*
	Guidance $	Reported % Increase (Decrease)	Constant Currency % Increase (Decrease)	Organic % Increase (Decrease)	Organic excluding COVID-19 % Increase (Decrease)
Fiscal 2024
Revenue	$3,920 - $4,020	(2.7%) to (0.3%)	(2.3%) to 0.2%	(1.7%) to 0.8%	4.2% to 6.9%
GAAP EPS	$3.19 - $3.39	74.3% to 85.2%
Non-GAAP EPS	$3.90 - $4.10	(1.5%) to 3.5%

Q1 2024
Revenue	$960 - $985	(10.6%) to (8.3%)	(10.9%) to (8.5%)	(10.7%) to (8.3%)	1.0% to 3.7%
GAAP EPS	$0.74 - $0.79	(1.3%) to 5.3%
Non-GAAP EPS	$0.92 - $0.97	(14.0%) to (9.3%)

*	Fiscal 2024 has four less selling days compared to fiscal 2023. Factored into our guidance, we estimate the impact of the four extra selling days to be a headwind of about 400 bps to our Q1 results and more than 100 bps for the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: constant currency revenues; organic revenues; organic revenues excluding COVID-19, non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP effective tax rate; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP net margin; non-GAAP EPS; adjusted EBITDA; and adjusted ROIC. Organic revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023 excludes the divested Blood Screening business. Revenue from acquired businesses is generally included in organic revenue starting a year after the acquisition. Organic revenue excluding COVID-19 revenues is organic revenue less COVID-19 assay revenue, COVID-19 related sales of instruments, collection kits and ancillaries, COVID-19 related revenue from Diagenode and Mobidiag, as well as COVID-19 related license revenue, and revenues from discontinued products. 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; (ii) the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and equipment and the loss to record assets held-for-sale to fair value less costs to sell; (iii) adjustments to record contingent consideration at fair value; (iv) charges to write-off inventory for a product line discontinuance; (v) restructuring charges, facility closure and consolidation charges (including accelerated depreciation), and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions (including retention, transaction bonuses, legal and professional consulting services); (vi) expenses related to the divested Cynosure business incurred subsequent to the disposition date primarily related to indemnification provisions for legal and tax matters; (vii) transaction related expenses for acquisitions; (viii) third-party expenses incurred related to implementing the European MDR/IVDR requirements and obtaining the appropriate approvals for its existing products; (ix) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (x) the unrealized (gains) losses on the mark-to-market of foreign currency contracts to hedge revenue and operating results for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting; (xi) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges (benefits); (xii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of investments; (xiii) the one-time discrete impacts related to internal restructurings and non-operational items; (xiv) 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 (xv) income taxes related to such adjustments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest income/expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income. The Company defines its adjusted ROIC as its non-GAAP operating income tax effected by its non-GAAP effective tax rate divided by the sum of its average net debt and stockholders’ equity, which is adjusted to exclude the effects of goodwill and intangible assets and equipment impairment charges.

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.
