SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 13, 2014 - Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today reported orders of $1.68 billion, down 2 percent over one year ago, for the first fiscal quarter ended Jan. 31, 2014, and revenues of $1.68 billion, flat compared with one year ago. First-quarter GAAP net income was

$195 million, or $0.58 per share. Last year’s first-quarter GAAP net income was $179 million, or $0.51 per share.

During the first quarter, Agilent had intangible amortization of $51 million, integration and transformation costs of $10 million, pre-separation costs of $20 million and a tax benefit of $47 million. Excluding these items and $3 million of other net benefits, Agilent reported first-quarter adjusted net income of $226 million, or $0.67 per share⁽¹⁾.

Agilent President and CEO Bill Sullivan said, “Our life sciences, diagnostics and applied market businesses got off to a solid start in the quarter. Electronic measurement, however, faced challenges in the aerospace/defense market. Our plans to separate into two companies are on track, and we expect the transaction to be completed in early November 2014.”

Electronic Measurement first-quarter revenues were down 7 percent compared with the prior year. Operating margins were 15 percent.

Chemical Analysis revenues were up 6 percent compared with a year ago, driven by food and forensics markets. Operating margins were 23 percent.

Life Sciences and Diagnostics revenues were up 5 percent over a year ago, reflecting strength in pharma and diagnostics/clinical markets. Operating margins were 17 percent.

Agilent generated $194 million of cash from operations in the quarter. First-quarter ROIC was 15 percent⁽³⁾.

Second-quarter 2014 revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.72 billion to $1.74 billion. Second-quarter non-GAAP earnings are expected to be in the range of $0.71 to $0.73 per share⁽²⁾.

For the full fiscal year 2014, Agilent expects revenue of $6.90 billion to

$7.10 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $2.96 to $3.16 per share⁽²⁾.

⁽¹⁾ Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share exclude primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, pre-separation costs, transformation initiatives and restructuring costs, and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. A reconciliation between non-GAAP net income and GAAP net income is set forth on page 5 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

⁽²⁾ Non-GAAP earnings per share as projected for Q2FY14 and full fiscal year 2014 excludes primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, pre-separation costs, future restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided. Future amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $50 million per quarter.

⁽³⁾ Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as income from operations less other (income) expense and taxes, annualized, divided by the average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of assets less net current liabilities. The reconciliation of ROIC can be found on page 7 of the attached tables, along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

(a) The adjustment for taxes excludes tax benefits that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. For the three months ended January 31, 2014, management uses a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16%, respectively, that we believe to be indicative of on-going operations.

Historical amounts are reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

We provide non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs and pre-separation costs. Some of the exclusions, such as impairments, may be beyond the control of management. Further, some may be less predictable than revenue derived from our core businesses (the day to day business of selling our products and services). These reasons provide the basis for management's belief that the measures are useful.

Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to compensate employees. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information facilitates our management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.

Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our statement of cash flows portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for investors to see core performance free of special items, investors should understand that the excluded items are actual expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a complete picture of all effects on the company’s profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company’s performance.

Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

The preliminary non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS reconciliation is estimated based on our current information.

Income from operations reflect the results of our reportable segments under Agilent's management reporting system which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP financial measures. Income from operations of our reporting segments exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs and pre-separation costs.

In general, recorded orders represent firm purchase commitments from our customers with established terms and conditions for products and services that will be delivered within six months.

(a) Return On Invested Capital is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as income from operations less other (income) expense and taxes, annualized, divided by the average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of assets less net current liabilities. The reconciliation of ROIC can be found on page 7 of these tables, along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

The preliminary segment information is estimated based on our current information.

ROIC calculation:(annualized current quarter segment return)/(average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of Segment Invested Capital)

(a) Agilent return is equal to non-GAAP net income of $226 million plus net interest expense after tax of $23 million for Q1'14, and $222 million plus net interest expense after tax of $20 million for Q1'13. Please see "Non-GAAP Net Income and Diluted EPS Reconciliations" for a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income to GAAP net income.

(b) Segment assets consist of inventory, accounts receivable, property plant and equipment, gross goodwill and other intangibles, deferred taxes and allocated corporate assets.

(c) Includes accounts payable, employee compensation and benefits, deferred revenue, certain other accrued liabilities and allocated corporate liabilities.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and the investor. ROIC is a tool by which we track how much value we are creating for our shareholders. Management uses ROIC as a performance measure for our businesses, and our senior managers' compensation is linked to ROIC improvements as well as other performance criteria. We believe that ROIC provides our management with a means to analyze and improve their business, measuring segment profitability in relation to net asset investments. We acknowledge that ROIC may not be calculated the same way by every company. When we complete major acquisitions, we may adjust invested capital for the relevant segment in the quarter when the acquisition occurred. We compensate for this limitation by monitoring and providing to the reader a full GAAP income statement and balance sheet.

The preliminary reconciliation of ROIC is estimated based on our current information.
