GENOPTIX REPORTS STRONG FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND
RAISES GUIDANCE FOR FULL-YEAR 2008
CARLSBAD, Calif. – July 31, 2008 - Genoptix, Inc. (NASDAQ: GXDX), a specialized laboratory services provider, today reported revenues of $27.8 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $50.1 million for the first half of 2008, as compared to revenues of $13.9 million and $24.6 million for the respective periods in 2007. Stated revenue for the first half of 2008 included a $1.3 million benefit from changes in accounting estimates relating to prior periods.
“Our strong performance in the first half of the year resulted in growth in all segments, as revenues increased by 99% over the second quarter of 2007 and 104% over the first half of last year,” said Tina Nova Bennett, Ph.D., President and CEO of Genoptix. “Expanding our sales efforts and improving our ability to provide high quality diagnostic services to a wider audience continues to drive customer growth nationwide. Higher case volumes reflect the success of these initiatives, increasing 77% year-over-year to more than 9,300 cases since the beginning of April, our sixteenth consecutive quarter of solid growth in volumes and in revenues.”
The Company also reported GAAP net income of $5.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $10.6 million for the first half of 2008 compared to GAAP net income of $3.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 and $5.1 million for the first half of 2007. Diluted earnings per share, or EPS, for the second quarter of 2008 was $0.32 based on 17.5 million weighted average common shares outstanding, including the $0.14 impact from increased costs associated with non-cash stock-based compensation expense, resulting from the launch of our employee stock purchase program following our initial public offering, or IPO. Diluted EPS was $0.60 for the first half of the year, including $0.19 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
The Company completed its IPO on November 2, 2007. On a pro forma basis, assuming conversion of all outstanding preferred stock, diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 would have been $0.30 and $0.40, respectively (see “Pro Forma Net Income Per Share” table below).
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 improved 94% to $16.6 million from $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2007, or 59.7% of revenues as compared to 61.3% of revenues, respectively. Gross margins reflect the impact of additional costs associated with stock-based compensation and the investment in additional personnel to support our growing operations. For the first half of 2008, gross profits totaled $29.7 million, improving 104% as compared to $14.6 million for the same period in 2007, with gross profit at approximately 59.3% of revenues for the first half of 2008 being effectively flat year-over-year.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 increased to $11.4 million from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 and to $20.4 million in the first half of 2008 from $9.3 million during the same period in 2007. These expenses were higher primarily due to investment in additional personnel to support organizational growth efforts, stock-based compensation expense and the increased costs associated with operating as a public company. Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.2 million, or 18.6% of revenues, as compared to $3.9 million, or 27.7% of revenues, during the same period in 2007. Operating income was $9.3 million, or 18.6% of revenues for the first half of 2008, up from $5.2 million, or 21.3% of revenues, for the first half of 2007.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale totaled $96.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash generated from operations was $12.9 million, while purchases of capital equipment for the same period totaled $2.6 million. The quarter closed with bad debt expense of 3.0% of total revenues and days sales outstanding of 54 days.
“We closed another quarter of solid execution and superior growth, all while enhancing our capability to reach more customers and the capacity to manage increasing case volumes,” said Sam Riccitelli, Genoptix EVP and COO. “Our staff has expanded to include 44 sales representatives and 19 Cartesian hematopathologists on-site to service our more than 850 ordering physicians nationwide, as we continue to effectively pace our expansion relative to our growing customer base.”
Performance Outlook
Based on second quarter results and the recent confirmation of Medicare reimbursement rates, Genoptix is adjusting its performance outlook upward for the full-year 2008, and now expects revenues of between $105 and $108 million, up from the most recent guidance of between $90 and $95 million, which was provided following the first quarter of 2008.
Net income expectations for the year are moving up from the previously provided range of between $15 and $17 million to approximately $20 million for the year, assuming an average annual tax rate of 5%. This includes the impact of an estimated $7 million in non-cash stock-based compensation for 2008, an
2
increase resulting primarily from expenses associated with the initiation of the Company’s equity incentive programs. Diluted GAAP EPS, which includes non-cash stock-based compensation of approximately $0.40 per share, is now expected to be between $1.11 and $1.16 on an estimated $17.6 million shares for the full year 2008.
Based on continued infrastructure expansion and implementation of its strategic plan, the Company is now projecting capital expenditures of approximately $11.0 million for the full-year 2008, up from prior estimates of approximately $6.0 million due to the accelerated growth experienced during the first half of 2008 and higher than expected capitalized costs associated with related facilities expansion.
