Analogic Corporation Announces Results for the

First Quarter Ended October 31, 2010

PEABODY, MA (December 9, 2010) – Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading provider of medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2010.

Operating highlights during the first quarter included:

• Revenue of $103.8 million, up 12% from Q1 2010; excludes revenue of $2.9 million from hotel due to sale of hotel business in the first quarter

• Reported diluted EPS of $0.20; includes negative impact of $0.20 charge for restructuring and benefit of $0.07 from gain on sale of hotel business

• Adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.46

The operating results for Analogic for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 exclude the results from the hotel business which was sold at the end of the first quarter and is classified as discontinued operations. Results from prior periods have also been revised for comparison purposes.

Revenue for the first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2010, totaled $103.8 million, compared with fourth quarter revenue of $115.0 million and the prior fiscal year’s first quarter revenue of $92.8 million. Reported income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which included a $3.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge related to the streamlining and consolidation of our operations, was $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. This compares with $7.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and ($0.2) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the prior year’s first quarter.

Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with $7.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and breakeven in the prior year’s first quarter. During the quarter, we sold our hotel business for net proceeds totaling $10.5 million resulting in a net gain of $0.9 million. The gain on sale and the results of hotel operations are excluded from continuing operations.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $5.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared with $8.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, and $1.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the prior year’s first quarter. A reconciliation of reported to adjusted non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release.

Jim Green, president and CEO, commented, “Our Medical Technology business continues to see year-over-year improvement as hospital spending improves. We are especially pleased with the market acceptance of our new Flex Focus mobile ultrasound platform in spite of typical Q1 seasonality. Our Security Technology business continues to see variability as the TSA relies on bridge orders while the new certification testing is underway. All in all, our operating results for the first quarter are in line with our expectations and we are progressing toward our stated financial goals as we continue to drive growth and operational effectiveness.”

Segment Revenue

Revenue from our Medical Imaging segment (formerly the CT, MRI and Digital Radiography segments) was $71.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, down $1.9 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and up $5.6 million over the prior year’s first quarter. Revenue was lower compared with Q4 of fiscal 2010 due primarily to the timing of mammography detector shipments. Revenues increased year over year due to greater demand for our OEM subsystems worldwide.

Our Ultrasound segment revenue was $21.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, down $2.0 million from the fourth quarter and up $1.0 million from the prior year. Revenue decreased compared with Q4 of fiscal 2010 due to normal seasonality, and increased year over year, driven by demand for our Flex Focus platform. Foreign currency had a $0.8 million positive impact on revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the fourth quarter and a ($1.1) million negative impact on revenues as compared to the prior year.

Security Technology revenue was $11.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, down $7.4 million from the fourth quarter and up $4.4 million from a year earlier. Quarterly revenue fluctuations reflect the timing of bridge orders from our OEM customer due to the Transportation Security Administration’s deployment of a new procurement process.

Use of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document includes adjusted non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The adjusted non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. An explanation and a reconciliation of our adjusted non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION—RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED (GAAP) TO ADJUSTED NON-GAAP MEASURES

We provide adjusted non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, net income and diluted net income per share as supplemental measures to reported results regarding our operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to these financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We incur expense related to share-based compensation included in the reported presentation of cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing, general and administrative expense. Although share-based compensation is an expense and viewed as a form of compensation, these expenses vary in amount from period to period, and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within our control, such as the market price and volatility of our shares, risk-free interest rates, and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards. Share-based compensation expense is calculated as of the grant date of each share-based award, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant date. Our management team believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent between periods and allows comparisons of our operating results to those of other companies that disclose adjusted non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation.

Acquisition Related Expenses

We incur amortization of intangibles and other expenses related to acquisitions it has made in recent years. The intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed after the acquisition. We believe that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses.

Restructuring Charges

During the three months ended October 31, 2010, we initiated a plan to reduce our work force by 104 employees worldwide as we continue to streamline our operations and consolidate our Denmark and Canton, MA manufacturing operations into our existing U.S. facilities. The total cost, including severance and personnel related costs, was $3,562,000 and was recorded as an operating expense during the three months ended October 31, 2010.

Gain on Sale of Hotel

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, we sold our hotel business and recorded an after-tax gain on sale of the hotel business of $924,000, or $0.07 per diluted share. This gain has been presented as an adjusted non-GAAP item as management believes it is not associated with the on-going operations of the business.

Taxes

For purposes of calculating adjusted non-GAAP net income and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, we adjust the provision (benefit) for income taxes to tax effect the non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on our income tax provision (benefit). In addition, from time-to-time, we recognize certain non-recurring tax adjustments.

We exclude the above-described expenses, their related tax impact and other non-recurring tax benefits in evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations, and allocating resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. We believe that these adjusted non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These adjusted non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Further, these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table reconciles the adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
