Charles River Laboratories Announces Third-Quarter 2019 Results
– Third-Quarter Revenue of $668.0 Million –
– Third-Quarter GAAP Earnings per Share of $1.46 and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share of $1.69 –
– Updates 2019 Guidance –
WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 6, 2019--Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today reported its results for the third quarter of 2019. For the quarter, revenue was $668.0 million, an increase of 14.1% from $585.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Acquisitions, which principally included Citoxlab, contributed 7.5% to consolidated third-quarter revenue growth. The impact of foreign currency translation reduced reported revenue growth by 1.3%. Excluding the effect of these items, organic revenue growth of 7.9% was driven by contributions from all three business segments.
On a GAAP basis, third-quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders was $72.8 million, an increase of 20.6% from net income of $60.4 million for the same period in 2018. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $1.46, an increase of 19.7% from $1.22 for the third quarter of 2018. The increases in GAAP net income and earnings per share were driven primarily by a non-cash, discrete tax benefit of $20.4 million, or $0.41 per share, related to the Company’s international financing structure, partially offset by higher acquisition-related costs. The Company’s venture capital investments represented a loss of $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a gain of $0.08 for the same period in 2018. As previously disclosed, the Company’s venture capital investment performance has been excluded from non-GAAP results.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations was $83.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 17.1% from $71.6 million for the same period in 2018. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $1.69, an increase of 16.6% from $1.45 per share for the third quarter of 2018. The non-GAAP net income and earnings per share increases were driven primarily by higher revenue and operating margin improvement.
James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our overall third-quarter results, which were highlighted by mid-teens reported revenue growth and high-single-digit organic revenue growth, consistent with our long-term targets, and non-GAAP operating margin expansion that represented a positive step towards achieving our two-year target. We have spent the past several years investing internally to support growing demand, while striving to improve the scalability of the business. As a result of these investments, we believe that we now have an enhanced ability to leverage top-line growth and drive greater efficiency, which will enable us to continue to improve our operating margins.”
“We are the early-stage CRO partner of choice for our clients’ drug research, development, and manufacturing support efforts due to our extensive scientific expertise, which we believe is unique and unparalleled in the early-stage CRO universe. The investments that we have made have also created a more efficient and responsive organization that provides flexible, customized solutions to our clients. We believe we are well positioned to maintain and enhance our market leadership position, as well as to achieve our long-term strategic and financial goals and generate greater shareholder returns,” Mr. Foster concluded.
Third-Quarter Segment Results
Research Models and Services (RMS)
Revenue for the RMS segment was $132.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 4.5% from $126.8 million in the third quarter of 2018. Organic revenue growth was 5.8%, driven primarily by higher revenue for research model services, as well as increased demand for research models in China. Research model services benefited from robust growth in the Insourcing Solutions (IS) business, including the contribution from a large government contract, which commenced in September 2018. The revenue increase was partially offset by lower sales volume for research models outside of China, particularly to large biopharmaceutical clients.
In the third quarter of 2019, the RMS segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 25.9% from 25.3% in the third quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 26.5% from 25.9% in the third quarter of 2018. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by the research models business and ongoing operating efficiency initiatives, partially offset by the large IS government contract.
Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA)
Revenue for the DSA segment was $420.1 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 19.3% from $352.3 million in the third quarter of 2018. Acquisitions contributed 12.5% to DSA revenue growth, driven by the Citoxlab acquisition. Organic revenue growth of 7.9% was driven by both the Discovery Services and Safety Assessment businesses. By client segment, the DSA revenue increase was driven primarily by robust demand from biotechnology clients.
In the third quarter of 2019, the DSA segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 15.5% from 17.9% in the third quarter of 2018. The GAAP operating margin decline was driven primarily by acquisition-related costs primarily related to the Citoxlab acquisition, including amortization of intangible assets. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 22.1% from 22.6% in the third quarter of 2018. The non-GAAP operating margin decline was driven primarily by the acquisition of Citoxlab, which has a lower operating margin than the legacy Safety Assessment business.
Manufacturing Support (Manufacturing)
Revenue for the Manufacturing segment was $115.3 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 8.6% from $106.2 million in the third quarter of 2018. Organic revenue growth was 10.6%, driven by robust demand in the Biologics Testing Solutions and Microbial Solutions businesses.
In the third quarter of 2019, the Manufacturing segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 34.0% from 31.3% in the third quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 36.4% from 33.4% in the third quarter of 2018. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by enhanced operating efficiency in the Microbial Solutions business and operating leverage from higher revenue in Biologics Testing Solutions business.
Updates 2019 Guidance
The Company is updating 2019 financial guidance, which was previously provided on July 31, 2019.
The moderated revenue growth guidance reflects two primary factors: a greater headwind from foreign exchange that reduces the reported growth rate and a slight moderation of the organic revenue growth outlook. The Company continues to expect organic revenue growth will be in the high-single-digit range in 2019, and within the same ranges as its previous guidance for each of the business segments.
The Company is narrowing its GAAP earnings per share guidance to the lower end of its previous range due primarily to higher acquisition-related and efficiency costs, partially offset by the non-cash, discrete tax benefit in the third quarter related to its international financing structure. Non-GAAP earnings per share guidance is being narrowed to the upper end of the previous range to reflect the Company’s third-quarter operating performance.
The Company’s revenue, earnings per share, and free cash flow guidance is as follows:
2019 GUIDANCE | CURRENT | PRIOR |
Revenue growth, reported | 15.0% - 15.5% | 16% - 17% |
Less: Contribution from acquisitions (1) | 8.5% - 9.0% | 8.5% - 9.0% |
Add: Negative impact of foreign exchange | 1.5% - 2.0% | 1.0% - 1.5% |
Revenue growth, organic (2) | 8.25% - 8.75% | 8.5% - 9.5% |
GAAP EPS estimate | $4.65-$4.75 | $4.65-$4.80 |
Amortization of intangible assets (3) | ~$1.35 | $1.35-$1.40 |
Charges related to global efficiency initiatives (4) | $0.20-$0.25 | ~$0.07 |
Acquisition-related adjustments (5) | $0.72-$0.75 | $0.40-$0.45 |
Other items (6) | ~$0.05 | ~$0.03 |
Venture capital investment (gains)/losses (7) | (~$0.08) | (~$0.09) |
Discrete tax benefit (8) | ($0.41) | -- |
Non-GAAP EPS estimate | $6.50 - $6.60 | $6.45 - $6.60 |
Free cash flow (9) | $310 - $320 million | $310 - $320 million |
Footnotes to Guidance Table:
(1) The contribution from acquisitions reflects only those acquisitions which have been completed.
(2) Organic revenue growth is defined as reported revenue growth adjusted for acquisitions and foreign currency translation.
(3) Amortization of intangible assets includes an estimate of approximately $0.20 for the impact of the Citoxlab acquisition based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.
(4) These charges, which primarily include severance and other costs, relate primarily to the Company’s planned efficiency initiatives. Other projects in support of global productivity and efficiency initiatives are expected, but these charges reflect only the decisions that have already been finalized.
(5) These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions, and primarily include transaction, advisory, and certain third-party integration costs, as well as certain costs associated with acquisition-related efficiency initiatives. In addition, these adjustments include a charge associated with modification of a purchase option for the remaining 8% equity interest in Vital River. These costs are partially offset by the net impact of discrete tax items.
(6) Other items include third-party costs, net of insurance reimbursements, associated with the remediation of the unauthorized access into the Company’s information systems, which was detected in March 2019. In addition, other items include the write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing.
(7) Venture capital investment performance only includes recognized gains or losses. The Company does not forecast future venture capital investment gains or losses.
(8) This item includes a non-cash, discrete tax benefit related to the Company’s international financing structure. The Company recorded a $20.4 million deferred tax asset relating to foreign indefinite-lived tax loss carryforwards, which it now expects to utilize in the future.
(9) The reconciliation of the current 2019 free cash flow guidance is as follows: Cash flow from operating activities of $450-$460 million, less capital expenditures of approximately $140 million, equates to free cash flow of $310-$320 million.
Webcast
Charles River has scheduled a live webcast on Wednesday, November 6, at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss matters relating to this press release. To participate, please go to ir.criver.com and select the webcast link. You can also find the associated slide presentation and reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures on the website.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations/Discontinued Operations
The Company reports non-GAAP results in this press release, which exclude often-one-time charges and other items that are outside of normal operations. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the schedules at the end of this press release. In addition, the Company reports results from continuing operations, which exclude results of the Phase I clinical business that was divested in 2011. The Phase I business is reported as a discontinued operation.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which exclude the amortization of intangible assets, and other charges related to our acquisitions; expenses associated with evaluating and integrating acquisitions and divestitures, as well as fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration; charges, gains, and losses attributable to businesses or properties we plan to close, consolidate, or divest; severance and other costs associated with our efficiency initiatives; the write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing; third-party costs associated with the remediation of unauthorized access into our information systems detected in March 2019; the non-cash tax benefit related to our international financing structure; and investment gains or losses associated with our venture capital investments. This press release also refers to our revenue in both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis: “constant currency,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for the impact of foreign currency translation, and “organic revenue growth,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. Commencing in the first quarter of 2019, we exclude the performance of our venture capital investments due to the determination that such investment gains or losses are not core to our overall operations. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, as they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. We believe that the financial impact of our acquisitions and divestitures (and in certain cases, the evaluation of such acquisitions and divestitures, whether or not ultimately consummated) is often large relative to our overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis. In addition, certain activities and their underlying associated costs, such as business acquisitions, generally occur periodically but on an unpredictable basis. We calculate non-GAAP integration costs to include third-party integration costs incurred post-acquisition. Presenting revenue on an organic basis allows investors to measure our revenue growth exclusive of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company’s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules and regulations. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release, and can also be found on the Company’s website at ir.criver.com.

(1) Charles River management believes that supplementary non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to allow investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, without the effect of often-one-time charges and other items which are outside our normal operations, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. The supplementary non-GAAP financial measures included are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules, regulations and guidance.
(2) This amount represents a $2.2 million charge recorded in connection with the modification of the option to purchase the remaining 8% equity interest in Vital River.
(3) These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions, which primarily include transaction, third-party integration, and certain compensation costs, and fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration.
(4) This amount relates to third-party costs, net of insurance reimbursements, associated with the remediation of the unauthorized access into the Company's information systems which was detected in March 2019.
