Millipore Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
Strong Revenue Growth Drives Third Quarter Performance
BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2006--Millipore
Corporation (NYSE:MIL), a leading provider of products and services
that improve productivity in the laboratory and in biopharmaceutical
manufacturing, today reported financial results for its third quarter
ended September 30, 2006.
Revenues for the third quarter grew 38 percent totaling $330.1
million. Changes in foreign exchange rates during the quarter
increased total revenue growth by 2 percent. Millipore completed its
acquisition of Serologicals during the third quarter. Excluding the
impact of Serologicals and currency rate changes, Millipore's total
revenue growth in the third quarter was 10 percent, which included 13
percent growth in its Bioprocess Division and 6 percent growth in its
Bioscience Division.
The Company reported third quarter net income of $14.8 million, or
$0.27 per share, compared to net income of $22.9 million or $0.44 per
share in the third quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP net income grew
approximately 20 percent in the third quarter totaling $37.1 million,
or $0.69 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $31.1 million,
or $0.59 per share in the third quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of
all GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the Company's
financial tables accompanying this press release.
For the first nine months of 2006, Millipore reported total
revenues of $872.3 million. Excluding the impact of Serologicals and
currency rate changes, total revenue growth was 11 percent, compared
to the Company's full-year 2006 guidance of 10 to 12 percent. The
Company reported nine month net income of $78.5 million, or $1.45 per
share, compared to net income of $79.2 million, or $1.55 per share in
2005. Non-GAAP net income for the first three quarters of 2006 was
$115.8 million, or $2.14 per share, compared to $100.6 million, or
$1.97 per share in 2005.
"The initiatives we are implementing to accelerate our performance
are working and we are on track to generate a second straight year of
attractive organic revenue growth, while increasing our non-GAAP
profitability," said Martin Madaus, Chairman & CEO of Millipore. "We
are executing well and building a strong pipeline of opportunities in
both divisions. Our Bioscience Division generated a strong quarter in
North America for our laboratory water and sample preparation
products, while our Bioprocess Division continues to benefit from
healthy demand for our filtration and chromatography products.
"Since the beginning of 2005, we have broadened our product
portfolio and significantly improved our performance. We are
participating in many new and attractive market segments, and our
long-term growth prospects are stronger today than they were in the
past. Over the next three quarters, we will be focused on completing
the integration of Serologicals and fully capturing the value of this
transaction. We are applying many of the same strategies and
initiatives to the integration that we have applied to improve our own
performance over the past seven quarters. Despite a slow start in
certain segments of Serologicals' business, our success in driving
operational improvements and cost synergies will enable us to meet our
guidance of $3.00 to $3.10 in non-GAAP earnings per share for 2006."
Third Quarter Highlights
-- Strong quarter in North America for laboratory water and
sample preparation & biotools business units
-- Bioprocess growth benefited from strong demand for virus
filtration and chromatography media
-- Completed acquisition of Serologicals on July 14, 2006; third
quarter results reflect 11 weeks of Serologicals financial
performance
-- Opened new $50 million R&D Center for Bioprocess Division
-- Successfully reached mid-point of five year Global Supply
Chain Initiative; project on track to deliver $40 million of
annual savings by 2009 and will cost $10 million less than
original forecast

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release - which
are non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP
operating margin, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income, and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share - exclude stock based compensation
expense, costs related to our manufacturing consolidation strategy,
severance related to leadership changes and division consolidation,
acquisition and financing expenses related to the acquisition of
Serologicals, amortization of intangible assets and inventory fair
value adjustments related to business acquisitions, and accrual for
environmental site remediation costs. There are limitations in using
non-GAAP financial measures as they are not prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different
than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and
supplementary information to investors regarding our quarterly
performance. It is our belief that these non-GAAP financial measures
have been particularly useful to investors over the last couple of
years because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of
our day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of our new
strategy. This strategy includes strengthening our leadership position
with bioscience customers, becoming a strategic supplier in bioscience
research markets, leading our industry in product quality and
manufacturing effectiveness, becoming a magnet for talent, and
doubling the value of the Company by 2009. The financial impact of
certain elements of these activities, particularly leadership changes,
our manufacturing consolidation strategy, division consolidation, and
acquisitions, are often large relative to our overall financial
performance and most of the related charges are recorded in one or two
financial quarters but not in other financial quarters, which can
adversely affect the comparability of our results on a
period-to-period comparable basis. In addition, certain activities,
such as the significant costs associated with consolidating
manufacturing facilities, business acquisitions, and environmental
site remediation costs, happen infrequently and the underlying costs
associated with such activities impact a limited number of quarters
significantly, but do not recur. As an example, the scope and scale of
our manufacturing consolidation strategy was the largest in our
history. When we complete this initiative, we will have closed eight
manufacturing plants. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, we
excluded, and will continue to exclude during 2006, stock based
compensation expense from our non-GAAP results.
We regularly use non-GAAP financial measures internally to
understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make
operating decisions. We also measure our employees and compensate
them, in part, based on such non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons,
we also use this information for our forecasting activities. The
non-GAAP financial measures presented herein also facilitate
comparisons to our historical operating results, which have
consistently been presented in this manner.
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 non-GAAP
financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in
conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to
review the reconciliation of the financial measures to their most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables
accompanying this press release. Our earnings guidance, however, is
only provided on a non-GAAP basis. It is not feasible to provide GAAP
diluted earnings per share guidance because the items excluded, other
than amortization expense, are difficult to predict and estimate and
are primarily dependent on future events.
Forward Looking Statements:
The matters discussed herein, as well as in future oral and
written statements by management of Millipore Corporation that are
forward-looking statements, are based on current management
expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results
expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.
Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect Millipore's
future operating results include, without limitation, the inability to
successfully integrate Serologicals or other acquired businesses,
failure to achieve design wins into our pharmaceutical and
biotechnology customers' manufacturing design phase for a particular
drug; delay, suspension or termination of a customer's volume
production; lack of availability of raw materials or component
products on a timely basis; regulatory delay in the approval of new
therapeutics; limitations on cash flow for operations and investment
due to increased debt service obligations; the inability to establish
and maintain necessary product and process quality levels; reduced
demand for cell culture products using bovine serum; the inability to
realize the expected benefits of development, marketing, licensing and
other alliances; competitive factors such as new membrane or
chromatography technology; the inability to achieve anticipated cost
benefits of our supply chain initiative; risks relating to our
concentration of principal manufacturing operations; the inability to
utilize technology in current or planned products due to overriding
rights by third parties; potential environmental liabilities;
conditions in the economy in general and in the bioscience and
bioprocess markets in particular; foreign exchange fluctuations;
reduced private and government research funding; exposure to product
liability claims; and difficulties inherent in transferring or
outsourcing of manufacturing operations. Please refer to our filings
with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K,
for more information on these and other risks that could cause actual
results to differ.

(a) Please refer to our press release for a full explanation for the
use of non-GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
The calculation of non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit margin
is displayed in the above tables. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross
profit margin exclude the costs related to our manufacturing
consolidation strategy for the reasons described above in the
introductory paragraphs of the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
section of this press release. Non-GAAP gross margin and gross profit
margin exclude the amortization of acquired inventory fair value
adjustments from business acquisitions because (1) the amounts are
non-cash, (2) we can not influence the timing and amount of future
expense recognition, and (3) excluding such expenses provides
investors and management better visibility into the components of
operating expenses. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit margin also
exclude stock-based compensation expense because the accounting
treatment on a year-over-year basis for option grants has changed with
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment ("SFAS 123R"). We
implemented the new accounting standard using the modified prospective
method, which does not allow for restatement of prior period results
and, accordingly, renders the year-over-year comparison not
meaningful. In addition, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit margin
exclude the one-time acquisition and related integration expenses in
connection with the acquisition of Serologicals.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Operating Margin
The calculation of non-GAAP operating income and operating margin
is displayed in the above tables. Non-GAAP operating income and
operating margin exclude the amortization of intangible assets and
acquired inventory fair value adjustments related to business
acquisitions because (1) the amounts are non-cash, (2) we can not
influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition, and (3)
excluding such expenses provides investors and management better
visibility into the components of operating expenses. The calculation
of Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin also exclude the
costs related to our manufacturing consolidation strategy and
severance related to leadership changes and division consolidation for
the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the "Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release.
Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin exclude stock-based
compensation expense because the accounting treatment on a
year-over-year basis for option grants has changed with the adoption
of SFAS No. 123R. We implemented the new accounting standard using the
modified prospective method, which does not allow for restatement of
prior period results and, accordingly, renders the year-over-year
comparison not meaningful. Non-GAAP operating income and operating
margin exclude one-time acquisition and related integration expenses
in connection with the acquisition of Serologicals because this is the
largest acquisition in recent Millipore history. In addition, we have
also excluded environmental site remediation costs from the non-GAAP
operating income and operating margin because these costs are
significant and non-recurring for Millipore.
Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income
The calculation of non-GAAP pre-tax income is displayed in the
above tables. Non-GAAP pre-tax income excludes bridge loan commitment
fees in connection with the acquisition of Serologicals. The
calculation of non-GAAP pre-tax income also excludes costs related to
our manufacturing consolidation strategy; severance related to
leadership changes and division consolidation; stock-based
compensation expense; acquisition and integration expenses;
amortization of intangible assets and acquired inventory fair value
adjustments related to business acquisitions; and environmental site
remediation costs for the reasons described for operating income and
operating margin above.
Non-GAAP Net Income
The calculation of non-GAAP net income is displayed in the above
tables. Because pre-tax income is included in the net income
calculation, the net income calculation excludes costs related to our
manufacturing consolidation strategy; severance related to leadership
changes and division consolidation; stock-based compensation expense;
acquisition and integration expenses and bridge loan commitment fees
in connection with the acquisition of Serologicals; amortization of
intangible assets and acquired inventory fair value adjustments

changes and division consolidation; stock-based compensation expense;
acquisition expenses and bridge loan commitment fees in connection
with the acquisition of Serologicals; amortization of intangible
assets and acquired inventory fair value adjustments related to
