BATESVILLE, Ind., February 4, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/— Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRC), announced unaudited financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2008. Results included revenue of $351.6 million, a $10.2 million or 3.0 percent increase from $341.4 million in the prior year comparable period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 5.9 percent. Net income from continuing operations was $14.2 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted share—an increase of 15.0 percent. Adjusted earnings per fully diluted share from continuing operations were $0.25, an increase of 13.6 percent from the prior year. Adjustments experienced in the current year include the effects of lower Liko margins associated with the valuation of acquired inventories and Liko integration costs. Adjustments in the prior year include costs associated with the planned spin-off of the funeral services business and special charges. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts in the current quarter include the results of Liko, acquired on October 1, 2008.
Management Comments
“As we reported last month, U.S. hospital customers made significant and rapid reductions of capital spending during the last half of the quarter on a wide variety of medical technologies, including ours. Because of our diverse portfolio, rental alternatives, the relative strength of our international business and the acquisition of Liko, we were better able to weather the storm in the first quarter,” commented Peter H. Soderberg, president and CEO of Hill-Rom. “As we look forward, we believe U.S. hospitals will continue to reduce or postpone capital purchases as they respond to the effects of the economy on their operations; further, we anticipate that during the second half of the year we might begin to see signs in Europe of softening capital expenditures. All this has led us to update our guidance and present a more cautious outlook for the rest of 2009.”
Soderberg continued, “During these difficult times, however, we remain committed to implementing our multi-year strategy that calls for continued investments in new product development, global strengthening of our field sales and clinical support team, supply chain efficiencies and continuous improvement to expand our operating margins. Reflecting our cost control actions, operating expenses declined 3.6 percent after excluding $7.9 million of Liko operating costs.”
Commenting on the integration of Liko operations, Soderberg stated, “Liko posted sales of $18.4 million, in line with expectations. Our customers are responding well to this latest addition to our patient safety solutions portfolio in the area of safe lifting and mobilization.”
Other first quarter revenue highlights regarding Hill-Rom business segments include:
| • | | North America Acute Care.Hill-Rom North America Acute Care revenue declined $7.8 million, or 3.7 percent, to $203.5 million. Capital sales decreased 8.3 percent, or $12.6 million, primarily driven by decreases in our patient support systems and architectural products. Despite this negative trend, healthcare information technology showed growth in excess of 20 percent due to the recent launch of the all digital NaviCare® Nurse Call system. |
|
| | | Rental revenue increased by $4.8 million, or 8.3 percent, during the quarter, due to higher volumes from new product fleet investments in bariatric and wound care and the impact of strategic adjustments made to our sales channel implemented over the last fiscal year. |
|
| • | | International and Surgical.Hill-Rom International and Surgical capital and rental revenue increased $15.4 million, or 18.4 percent, to $98.9 million, principally driven by the acquisition of Liko and stronger performance of capital sales in Europe and Latin America. Constant currency growth was 28.0 percent, with approximately half related to the Liko acquisition. Capital sales increased $16.4 million, or 23.7 percent, while rental revenue declined by $1.0 million, or 7.2 percent. |
|
| • | | North America Post-Acute Care.Hill-Rom North America Post-Acute Care revenue increased $2.3 million, or 4.8 percent, to $50.4 million. Capital sales revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 26.7 percent, primarily due to the Liko acquisition, sales channel initiatives and new product sales. Rental revenue was equivalent to the prior year at $39.5 million, with strong respiratory and home care performance offset by continued softness in extended care. |
Other Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights
Gross Profit and Operating Expenses:
• | | Hill-Rom gross profit was up slightly from the prior year to $152.5 million, although gross margin declined 110 basis points to 43.4 percent. Capital gross profit declined by 3.8 percent, and gross margin was down 260 basis points versus the prior year due to the reduced volume of North America acute patient support products along with higher growth of lower margin International sales. Capital margins were also negatively impacted by $1.9 million related to the valuation of acquired Liko inventories and a union ratification bonus of $0.9 million incurred in the quarter. Rental gross profit grew by 6.8 percent and associated gross margin improved 180 basis points, due primarily to increased revenue and cost improvement actions within the field service network. |
• | | Operating expenses as a percent of sales declined 20 basis points to 36.8 percent. General and administrative expenses declined by upper-single-digits, excluding Liko. |
• | | Cash flow from operations was $34.9 million for the first quarter. Strong collections of our receivables were offset by increases in inventory and the timing of liability payments. The increase in inventory was a direct result of the impact of reduced demand for capital products. |
• | | Income tax expense in the first quarter reflects an effective rate of 32.4 percent compared to 39.8 percent in the prior year period. The lower rate in the current year is related to the effect of more favorable foreign tax rates and higher discrete income tax benefits, most notably related to the retroactive reenactment of the research and development tax credit. The tax rate excluding these discrete items would have been 38.6 percent in the current period compared to 43.2 percent in the prior year. |
Other:
• | | On January 14, 2009, the company announced several cost savings actions taken as part of its strategic plan as well as additional measures taken in light of reduced sales volume of U.S. capital products. Actions taken included: 1) Consolidation of certain manufacturing and selected back office operations; 2) Redeployment of U.S. sales and service resources to increase our customer presence and support; 3) Further reduction in non-sales, non-R&D discretionary spending; 4) A voluntary early retirement program and 5) Involuntary job eliminations to reflect lower capital equipment demand and productivity improvements. It is anticipated that the eliminations and operational consolidations will result in approximately $12 to $14 million in annualized savings, about half of which is related to volume declines. Further, the company expects to incur a special charge related primarily to severance, early retirement benefits, and other personnel costs associated with the consolidation of certain operations of approximately $7 to $10 million over the second and possibly third quarters. There also will be additional special charges related to the impairment of assets, lease terminations, and pension and health care plan costs associated with these actions. These measures were implemented in addition to the previously described streamlining actions taken in August 2008. |

On March 31, 2008, Hill-Rom completed the spin-off of its funeral services business operating under the Batesville Casket name. Accordingly, the results of operations of the funeral services business, including certain separation related 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.
Please see the attached schedules for additional information, including reconciliations of earnings in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to as adjusted income and earnings per share, condensed financial information, summary balance sheet information and segment sales summaries.
For a more complete review of Hill-Rom’s results, please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, which will be filed later this week.
Financial Guidance Summary For 2009
Management is updating full year 2009 financial guidance initially provided on October 7, 2008 in conjunction with Hill-Rom’s investor conference.
The fundamental change in our outlook relates to North America Acute Care capital sales and the impact of foreign exchange rates. Since late November the company has experienced a significant number of orders frozen due to hospital capital constraints. There is considerable uncertainty as to the depth and duration of future capital expenditure limitations; accordingly, the company’s revised guidance is based on an estimated year-over-year reduction in North America Acute Care capital revenues of 15 to 30 percent. Our fiscal year outlook for the rest of our businesses remains essentially unchanged.
Hill-Rom’s consolidated revenue guidance range for fiscal 2009 is expected to be $1.375 to $1.470 billion which represents a 2.5 to 8.8 percent reduction versus prior year. Earnings per fully diluted share from continuing operations are expected to be $0.66 to $1.05, with adjusted earnings per fully diluted share expected to be $0.82 to $1.18. 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 strategic developments, undetermined special charges and the impact of significant litigation. 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 tomorrow morning. Information to access the webcast is provided below.
