Analogic Corporation Reports Results for Its Third Quarter 2007
PEABODY, MA (June 7, 2007) – Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading designer and manufacturer of high-precision health and security imaging equipment, announced today results for its third quarter ended April 30, 2007.
Revenues from continuing operations for the third quarter ended April 30, 2007, were $83,889,000, compared with the prior year’s third-quarter revenues from continuing operations of $81,306,000, an increase of 3%. Net income from continuing operations and net income for the third quarter was $6,998,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $2,510,000, or $0.18 per diluted share, from continuing operations a year earlier.
Revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, were $247,849,000, compared to the prior year’s nine-month revenues from continuing operations of $267,727,000, a decrease of 7%. Net income from continuing operations for the nine-month period was $7,058,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $12,670,000, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier. During the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded pretax restructuring and asset impairment charges of $9,705,000.
Net income attributable to discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and the gain on disposal of discontinued operations for the prior nine months ended April 30, 2006, was $20,919,000, or $1.52 per diluted share. During the first nine months of fiscal 2006 the Company realized a net gain of $20,640,000, or $1.50 per diluted share, from the sale of its Camtronics Medical Systems subsidiary to Emageon, Inc. of Birmingham, Alabama. As a result of the sale, the Company classified the Camtronics business as a discontinued operation and recast its financial statements accordingly to represent the operation as discontinued.
Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, was $7,058,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $33,589,000, or $2.44 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.
Medical imaging revenues for the third quarter were up 17% over the prior year. Revenues for clinical ultrasound systems were up 11%, while revenues for digital radiography systems and subsystems, as expected, were down 55%. Security technology revenues increased a modest 3%.
Jim Green, the recently appointed President and CEO, commented, “Under Bernard Gordon’s leadership as Executive Chairman during the second and third quarters, the Company has made substantial progress. The Company improved from a loss in the first quarter to a profitable second quarter, and an even better third quarter. Bernie successfully implemented the ten-point program he articulated last November when he agreed to serve as Executive Chairman on an interim basis. The Company has eliminated losses in its end-user Medical Computed Tomography (CT) business and significantly reduced the losses for its end-user digital radiography systems business. General and Administrative expenses have been reduced, and Research and Development projects and related expenditures brought under more focused control. The Company has also initiated programs to eliminate duplication and to re-establish a culture of interdependence among the operating units, drawing on Analogic’s well known work ethic. As a result, Analogic is a stronger Company today technologically and financially.
“I am particularly pleased to note that our medical business is performing well. We appear to enjoy a growing demand for our advanced multi-slice Data Acquisition Systems (DASs) and other subsystems for CT. Shipments of power systems for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) rose, although revenue for digital radiography subsystems was down substantially from a very strong third quarter a year ago. This was due in large part to an anticipated reduction in demand for Anrad’s digital flat-panel detectors following record shipments last year. However, we expect Anrad’s business to improve next fiscal year as a result of the major contract announced in May.”
Subsequent to the end of the quarter Analogic announced an agreement for Anrad to develop and supply advanced flat-panel digital radiography detector plates to Siemens for a new family of digital mammography systems. After the quarter closed, the Company also announced an agreement granting CAS Medical Systems, Inc., of Branford, Connecticut, exclusive worldwide rights to market and sell Analogic’s LIFEGARD® Family of non-invasive patient monitors. This arrangement is expected to increase sales while Analogic develops and manufactures additional patient monitors for CAS Medical.
After the close of the third quarter, Bio-Imaging Research, Inc. (BIR), of Lincolnshire, Illinois, of which Analogic had approximately 17% ownership, declared a dividend and made a dividend payment of $1,429,000 to the Company on May 24, 2007. Also on that day Analogic sold its entire ownership interest in BIR for approximately $3,714,000, of which $2,807,000 was paid in cash upon closing with the remaining $907,000 to be held in escrow for up to two years to secure any indemnification claims. The Company expects to record income before taxes on the sale and related dividend income of approximately $4,036,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, and will recognize the escrow balance, less any amount used to satisfy indemnification claims, as income before taxes as the cash is received.
Security revenues were essentially flat for the quarter as Analogic shipped 15 EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography (EXACT™) systems, compared to 17 units the previous third quarter. An order for upgraded EXACT systems, known as the AN6400, is expected in the relatively near future. The Company also expects its COBRA Checkpoint Security System to be certified by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) this summer and additional orders to be placed early next fiscal year.
Green concluded, “Our medical business is now growing profitably, with a number of exciting opportunities ahead. Our security business is preparing to put several major new systems into production over the course of the next year. Overall, we are now well positioned to take advantage of opportunities for significant growth, to better ensure our future asThe World Resource for Health and Security Technology.”
