Haemonetics Reports 15% Growth in Adjusted EPS to $3.27 for Fiscal 2011

May 2, 2011
Issues Guidance for Continued Revenue Growth in Fiscal 2012 of 4%- 6%

BRAINTREE, Mass., May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) today reported record revenues of $677 million, up 5% for fiscal 2011. An extra week in fiscal 2010 reduced fiscal 2011 annual revenue growth by 2% and fourth quarter revenue growth by 7%.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2011 GAAP net revenues were $170 million, up 1%, and up 8% excluding the effect of the extra week in fiscal 2010. Net income was $21 million, up more than 100%, and earnings per share were $0.81, up more than 100%. Excluding transformation costs and contingent consideration income in fiscal 2010, adjusted fourth quarter net income was $22 million, up 13%, and earnings per share were $0.85, up 12%.(1)

For the year, Haemonetics reported GAAP net revenues of $677 million, up 5%, and up 7% excluding the effect of the extra week in fiscal 2010. Net income was $80 million, up 37%, and earnings per share were $3.12, up 40%. Excluding transformation costs and contingent consideration income, adjusted full year net income was $84 million, up 13%, and adjusted earnings per share were $3.27, up 15%.(1)

Haemonetics ended the year with nearly $200 million in cash and $5 million of debt, and generated $93 million of free cash flow before funding $15 million in cash transformation costs.

Brian Concannon, Haemonetics' President and CEO, said "I am very pleased with our continued strong earnings growth and cash flow generation despite the challenging market environment we faced in fiscal 11. This marks the eighth straight year of double digit adjusted earnings per share growth at Haemonetics."

STRATEGIC AND SEGMENT GROWTH HIGHLIGHTS

Haemonetics continues to make progress expanding its business. The Company reported the following highlights:

  • The launch of IMPACT(TM) Online 3.0 - a proprietary web based blood management dash board to enhance blood management by hospital leadership.
  • 197 Global IMPACT customers in fiscal 2011 driving solid revenue growth, with rapid adoption by our European customer base.
  • The successful integration of our software businesses aimed at delivering the "information highway" focused on the compliance, productivity, availability and safety of blood products from the donor to the patient.
  • Launch of Cell Saver Elite(TM) designed to meet our customers growing blood management needs.

As noted, Haemonetics' fiscal 2011 reported revenues were $677 million, up 5%. Excluding the effect of the extra week in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2011 revenues were up 7% for the year. Fiscal 2011 annual revenues break down as follows:

Plasma disposables revenue was $227 million for the year, down 2%, and flat excluding the effect of the extra week. Haemonetics' plasma business growth has accelerated over the course of the year following a cyclical adjustment in the commercial Plasma business earlier this year. Plasma revenues have also been negatively impacted by a change in collection practices in Japan.

Blood bank

Platelet disposables revenue was $156 million for the year, up 3%, and up 5% excluding the effect of the extra week. Platelet revenues benefited from strong sales in emerging markets.

Red cell disposables revenue was $47 million for the year, down 3%, and down 1% excluding the effect of the extra week. Revenue declined due to decreased demand for red cells as a result of declining surgical procedures and fewer transfusions.

Hospital

Surgical disposables revenue was $67 million for the year, down 5%, and down 3% excluding the effect of the extra week. The surgical business was challenged by declining surgical procedures.

OrthoPAT® orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system disposables revenue was $36 million for the year, down 4%, and down 2% excluding the effect of the extra week. OrthoPAT growth at IMPACT accounts was 14% reinforcing our confidence in IMPACT selling. The Company is making improvements to the reliability of our OrthoPAT system and will continue to advance Quick Connect(TM) to reinforce the value proposition of this important blood management device.

Diagnostics revenue was $19 million for the year, up 16%, and up 18% excluding the effect of the extra week. Revenues related to the TEG Thrombelastograph® Hemostasis Analyzer business were also driven by the Company's IMPACT initiative.

Software Solutions revenue was $67 million for the year, up 86%. We integrated the Global Med acquisition and significantly enhanced our offering of software products for our Blood Bank and Hospital customers.

Equipment and other revenue was $58 million for the year, up 7%. Placements of equipment under use plans were strong with 7% total growth in our installed base during the year.

Haemonetics reported revenue growth in all geographies for the year, with North American sales up 4%, European sales up 4%, Japanese sales up 1%, and Asian sales up 20%.

FISCAL 2012 GUIDANCE(1)

Haemonetics announced its fiscal 2012 annual guidance for organic revenue growth of 4-6%, adjusted operating income growth of 8-10% excluding the impact of planned transformation and integration costs of approximately $8 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $3.50 to $3.62. The Company expects more than 200 basis point gross margin improvement and approximately 70 basis points of adjusted operating margin improvement, and a tax rate of approximately 28%. For the year, the Company expects to generate approximately $85 million of adjusted free cash flow before funding $9 million of cash transformation costs.

Mr. Concannon added. "As demand for blood components returns to normal levels, we are uniquely positioned with compelling products and services to help our customers with their growing blood management needs in this period of health care reform. We are gaining traction implementing our blood management solutions and this is contributing to improved growth rates in our hospital and blood center products."

Haemonetics Corporation Financial Summary

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures



Haemonetics has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this earnings release. A reconciliation is provided below that reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure with the most comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. There are material limitations to the usefulness of non-GAAP measures on a standalone basis, including the lack of comparability to the GAAP financial results of other companies.


These measures are used by management to monitor the financial performance of the business, inform business decision making, and forecast future results. Performance targets for management are established based upon these non-GAAP measures. In the reconciliations below, we have removed restructuring costs, contingent consideration income, and asset writedowns from our GAAP expenses. Our restructuring is related to the integration of Global Med Technologies and the repositioning of our sales force. We believe this information is useful for investors because it allows for an evaluation of the Company with a focus on the performance of our core operations.


Non-GAAP Gross Profit
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the level of total gross profits without the costs of our business transformation. We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this basis.


Non-GAAP S,G&A and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses
The use of this non-GAAP measure allows management to monitor the ongoing level of spend that is necessary to support the business in a period when we are not transforming our business or completing an acquisition of in-process research and development. We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets excluding these costs.


Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Income before Income Taxes
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the level of operating and total pre-tax profits without the costs of our business transformation. We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this basis.


Non-GAAP Net Income and Earnings per Share
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the level of net income and earnings per share excluding both the costs of our business transformation, as well as any related tax effects. We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this basis.

Presented below are additional Constant Currency performance measures. We measure different components of our business at constant currency. We believe this information is useful for investors because it allows for an evaluation of the Company without the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. These results convert our local foreign currency operating results to the US Dollar at constant exchange rates of $1.20 per Euro, and 110 Yen to the $1.00. They also exclude the results of our foreign currency hedging program described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.

Presented below are additional Constant Currency performance measures. We measure different components of our business at constant currency. We believe this information is useful for investors because it allows for an evaluation of the Company without the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. These results convert our local foreign currency operating results to the US Dollar at constant exchange rates of $1.20 per Euro, and 110 Yen to the $1.00. They also exclude the results of our foreign currency hedging program described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.
