BATESVILLE, Ind., August 6, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/— Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRC), announced unaudited financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2008—the first quarter of operations following the separation of its former Batesville Casket unit. Results included revenue of $366.8 million, a $38.3 million or 11.7 percent increase from $328.5 million in the prior year comparable period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 9.3 percent. Consolidated net income from continuing operations was $21.5 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share—an increase of 89 percent. Net income includes $0.12 per fully diluted share of discrete tax items resolved in the quarter.
On March 31, 2008, Hill-Rom completed the spin-off of the funeral services business operating under the Batesville Casket name. Accordingly, the results of operations of the funeral services business, including certain separation costs and other income and expenses assigned to the funeral services business, have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Management Comments
Peter H. Soderberg, president and CEO of Hill-Rom, commented, “Our performance this quarter was gratifying because it continues the trend of strong revenue growth we’ve seen over the last several quarters. Our investments in research and development, enhanced sales channels, and manufacturing efficiency are continuing to bear fruit across the care continuum and around the world. Demand for our products remains robust as we strengthen our clinical and economic value proposition for customers. All of our reporting segments showed both capital sales and rental revenue growth.”
“Our North America Acute Care segment revenue performance was again led by over 20 percent growth of our proprietary therapy rental products. Our International and Surgical segment revenue once again showed strong growth of 19.0 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting market share gains — particularly in Europe. Finally, our North America Post-Acute Care segment saw double-digit growth in both capital sales and rental revenue,” Soderberg continued.
Regarding the hospital capital spending environment, Soderberg commented, “Demand for our products during the third quarter remained firm and we saw no indications of softening trends in quotation, order, and sales metrics that would require our response.”
Soderberg continued, “Like most manufacturing enterprises, Hill-Rom was subject to unexpectedly strong commodity price inflation impacting input and distribution costs during the quarter. We have intensified our efforts to reduce product and operational costs through manufacturing, sourcing, and expense management initiatives. Among the actions underway is a streamlining of the organization, which if approved by the Board, would result in a fourth quarter special charge. Despite inflationary trends, we remain committed to the earnings expansion goals we have discussed over the past two years.”
“In light of our year-to-date performance, we are updating financial guidance from our May call to reflect increased sales and gross profit expectations. Operating income remains consistent with prior guidance—in spite of the impact of inflation—while adjusted earnings per share guidance increases primarily to reflect the benefits from discrete tax items realized to date,” Soderberg concluded.

Other third quarter revenue highlights regarding Hill-Rom business segments:
—North America Acute Care.Hill-Rom North America Acute Care revenue increased $11.7 million, or 5.6 percent, to $219.9 million. Capital sales increased 3.5 percent, or $5.3 million, due in part to strong customer reaction to our new TotalCare Connect™ ICU patient support platform, whose shipments began in March. High single-digit growth in beds and surfaces was offset by competitive pressure on our architectural and healthcare information technology products.
North America rental revenue increased by $6.4 million, or 11.6 percent, during the quarter. Therapy rental products in acute care grew in excess of 20 percent, due to sharply higher volumes from 2007 product launches in bariatric and wound care products, and the impact of strategic adjustments made to our sales channel implemented over the last fiscal year. Moveable medical equipment rentals continued to reflect year-over-year declines.
—International and Surgical.Hill-Rom International and Surgical capital and rental revenue increased $21.3 million, or 27.9 percent, to $97.6 million, principally driven by strong performance in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Capital sales increased $17.8 million, or 27.6 percent. Rental revenue was also higher by $3.5 million, or 29.6 percent. Our surgical unit, Allen Medical, recorded continued mid-teens growth driven primarily by the acceptance of new products.
—North America Post-Acute Care.Hill-Rom North America Post-Acute Care revenue increased $4.9 million, or 10.7 percent, to $50.6 million. Capital sales revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 11.3 percent, primarily due to increased sales channel focus and improved support surface, frame and furniture sales. Rental revenue increased $3.8 million, or 10.4 percent, primarily related to increased activity associated with our home care rentals and respiratory care. These gains were offset somewhat by weakness in extended care, where we made a leadership change during the quarter.
Other Third Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights
Gross Profit and Operating Expenses:
• | | Hill-Rom gross profit grew $15.1 million, or 10.4 percent. Rental gross profit grew by 16.8 percent and associated gross margin improved 160 basis points. Capital gross profit grew by 6.8 percent, but associated gross margin declined 150 basis points. Consolidated gross margin declined 50 basis points to 43.8 percent, primarily due to strong international sales, which generally carry a lower margin, continued weakness in international margins due in part to unfavorable product mix, and the effects of worldwide inflation. |
|
• | | Other operating expense growth moderated significantly and was lower than sales growth. Operating expenses grew 9.9 percent or $12.4 million. Much of the expense growth was expected and attributable to our strategic initiatives related to sales channel and marketing expansion (up 13.7 percent), and our investments in research and development (up 16.4 percent). |
Other:
• | | Cash flow from operations was $23.0 million for the third quarter, down $37.2 million from the prior year comparable period. Cash flow was significantly reduced by cash payments related to separation costs of $17.3 million, paid during the third quarter along with declines in international payables, both of which were expected. Year to date cash flow from operations was $227.2 million, up $30.4 million, or 15.4 percent from the prior year. |
|
• | | Income tax expense in the third quarter includes discrete period tax benefits of $7.8 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share, pertaining to various tax matters resolved during the quarter. The prior year period included an immaterial amount of similar tax benefits. |

Financial Guidance Summary For 2008
Upon completion of the third quarter, management has determined that full year guidance will be adjusted as follows: Hill-Rom consolidated revenue guidance range for fiscal 2008 will increase to $1.495 — $1.515 billion from $1.464 — $1.486 billion; earnings per fully diluted share from continuing operations will increase to $1.20 — $1.30 from $1.05 — $1.18. Adjusted earnings per fully diluted share from continuing operations will increase to $1.33 — $1.43 from $1.18 — $1.32. Financial guidance in tabular format is included as an attachment.
Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. provides earnings per share guidance on an adjusted basis from continuing operations because the company’s management believes that the presentation provides useful information to investors. This measure excludes future strategic developments, special charges, the impact of significant litigation, and additional discrete tax items. Such items may be highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a size that sometimes have substantial impact on the company’s reported operations for a period. Often, prospective quantification of such items is not feasible. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business, including evaluating results relative to employee performance compensation targets. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Additional assumptions and discussion will be provided during the Company’s conference call to be held later tomorrow morning. Information to access the webcast is provided below.

Note: Earnings in the above presentation of adjusted income from continuing operations have not been adjusted to remove the effects of discrete period tax adjustments recognized in any of the periods presented. Discrete period tax adjustments are routinely recognized throughout any given year under a variety of circumstances and are highly subjective in nature. For the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2008, we recognized discrete tax benefits of $7.8 million ($0.12 per share) and $6.7 million ($0.11 per share), respectively, principally associated with the release of valuation allowances on foreign tax credit carryforwards and the recognition of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits associated with the recently completed tax audits. Discrete adjustments in the prior year comparable periods were much less significant.
