BASi Reports First Quarter Results
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN -- February 13, 2014 --Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BASI) today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
"For the first quarter of the new fiscal year, revenue increased 7.2%, gross margin increased 15.6%, operating income increased 53.0%, and net income excluding the impact of the change in warrant liability increased 115% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. BASi also generated $1,036,000 in cash from operations, and we paid down $1,247,000 on our line of credit while meeting all of our other obligations. We paid off the remaining balance on our line of credit last month, and are currently pursuing alternatives to replace it on better terms," said President & CEO and CFO Jacqueline Lemke.
"We are pleased by these results but not satisfied. In fiscal 2014 we plan to leverage our business model, using our existing capacity and an incremental investment in people and skills to support the long-term growth we believe BASi is capable of delivering. To achieve our goals, we remain focused on growing revenues even as we push ahead with our initiatives to control costs and improve productivity.
"Our decision last year to concentrate our marketing programs on BASi's established strengths in specialty assay and drug discovery, regulatory excellence, and our market-changing Culex® NxT automated sampling system is paying dividends. With our expanded sales team gaining traction in the marketplace, we are optimistic that the increase in new order bookings we have enjoyed in recent months will continue.
"BASi celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2014, a milestone made all the more significant by the progress we have made these past couple of years in strengthening the Company for the future. We are confident that we are pursuing the right strategy to enhance operating performance and build value for our shareholders," Lemke said.
First Quarter Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2013, revenue increased 7.2% to $6,220,000 compared to $5,803,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross profit was $2,145,000, or 34.5% of revenue, compared to $1,855,000, or 32.0% of revenue, a year earlier. Operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased to $1,683,000 compared to $1,553,000 a year earlier, primarily due to planned increases in selling and R&D expenses. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 53% to $462,000, compared to $302,000 last year.
The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $662,000, or $0.09 per basic share and diluted share, which included a non-cash increase in the fair value of warrant liability of $961,000. Excluding this charge, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $299,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, net income was $256,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, which included a non-cash decrease in the fair value of warrant liability of $117,000. Excluding this benefit, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $139,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share.
Service revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 5.3% to $4,916,000 from $4,670,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, reflecting an increase in new order bookings that began in recent months.
Product revenue increased 15.1% to $1,304,000 versus $1,133,000 for the prior year's first quarter, primarily due to higher sales of Culex automated sampling systems.
EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $912,000 compared to EBITDA of $851,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation
This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are net income excluding the income or expense of the change in warrant liability, and EBITDA for the first quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. EBITDA refers to financial performance measures that exclude certain income statement line items, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and/or exclude certain non-cash or one-time expenses as permitted by our credit agreements, such as stock-based compensation and the income or expense from the change in the warrant liability.
The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management, however, believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP, may provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results and may facilitate a fuller analysis of the Company's results, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of results and to illustrate the results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliation. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
