(February 4, 2004) - Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE: TMO) today reported GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $.37 for the fourth quarter of 2003, compared with $.51 in the year-ago period, primarily due to lower gains in 2003 from discontinued operations and the sale of securities. Fourth-quarter revenues were $583.4 million, up 3 percent from $568.7 million a year ago. GAAP operating margin rose to 9.4 percent in the 2003 quarter, versus 6.8 percent in 2002. Adjusted EPS increased 13 percent for the fourth quarter of 2003 to $.35, compared with $.31 in 2002. Adjusted operating margin rose 140 basis points to 13.5 percent, compared with 12.1 percent a year ago. Adjusted EPS and adjusted operating margin are non-GAAP measures that exclude restructuring and other costs/income and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EPS also excludes income from the sale of shares of FLIR Systems and Thoratec Corporation, gains/losses on the early retirement of debt, gains/losses on disposal of discontinued operations, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and benefit from tax credit carryforwards. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Organic revenues for the quarter declined 3 percent, including the effect of a $26.8 million shipment of explosives-detection instruments to the U.S. Transportation Safety Agency (TSA) in the fourth quarter of 2002, which lowered the 2003 quarter's growth rate by 5 percent. Organic revenues exclude the effects of currency translation, which increased revenues by 7 percent, and acquisitions/divestitures, which reduced revenues by 1 percent. For the full year, Thermo reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.20 in 2003, versus $1.73 a year ago, again primarily due to lower gains in 2003 from discontinued operations and from the sale of securities. Adjusted EPS rose 10 percent to $1.09, versus $.99 in 2002. Revenues increased slightly in 2003 to $2.10 billion, compared with $2.09 billion in 2002. GAAP operating margin rose to 8.8 percent in 2003, compared with 7.5 percent a year ago. Adjusted operating margin increased to 11.6 percent, versus 10.8 percent in 2002. Marijn E. Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Electron, said, "We are very pleased to complete 2003 with strong gains in adjusted EPS and operating margins. We also nearly doubled our cash flow from continuing operations over the same quarter a year ago to $115 million. While we continue to improve productivity, I am encouraged by the increase in reported revenues during the quarter in spite of a difficult year-to-year comparison. Our strong focus on growing revenues by providing our customers with better products and services is beginning to pay off. "No question, the overall tone of business is improving across all our markets. We reported solid revenue growth in our Life and Laboratory Sciences segment, and earnings performance significantly improved in Optical Technologies. We greatly expanded our offerings after completing three acquisitions in the quarter - Jouan, LMSi, and the personal radiation-detection business of Siemens - - which add approximately $110 million in annual revenues and are expected to add $.03 to adjusted EPS in 2004. We are making good progress toward our goal of becoming the world's leading instruments company, and are pursuing opportunities for growth with the same intensity that drove our integration efforts over the past few years." Mr. Dekkers continued, "With good momentum going into 2004, our goal is to report $.25 to $.27 in adjusted EPS for the first quarter and $1.23 to $1.28 for the full year." This guidance excludes approximately $.02 of expense per quarter from the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and also excludes restructuring and other costs/income and gains and losses from the sale of businesses, real estate, and our remaining interest in Thoratec, as well as unusual items we may have in the future. Life and Laboratory Sciences The Life and Laboratory Sciences segment reported a significant increase in 2003 fourth-quarter revenues, up 13 percent to $377 million, compared with $333 million in 2002; organic revenues rose 5 percent. The effect of currency translation increased revenues by 8 percent. The organic revenue growth is primarily a result of strong sales of our mass spectrometry instruments and rapid diagnostic tests used to detect flu. GAAP operating margin was 14.9 percent in the 2003 quarter, up from 14.3 percent a year ago. Adjusted operating margin was 18.1 percent in 2003, versus 18.5 percent in 2002. We continue to broaden both our technology and services offerings. Several new products generated strong orders in the fourth quarter, including the Finnigan LTQ(TM) FT hybrid and Finnigan LTQ(TM) linear ion trap mass spectrometers, as well as the Shandon Excelsior(TM) automated tissue processor. The acquisition of Jouan greatly increases the breadth of our sample preparation equipment offerings, while Laboratory Management Systems, Inc. (LMSi) adds key instrument validation and regulatory consulting expertise to our rapidly growing services business. In addition, we formed a strategic alliance with Johnson & Johnson's Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics business for the distribution of our clinical automation systems in North America. Measurement and Control Fourth-quarter revenues in the Measurement and Control segment were $153 million in 2003, versus $176 million in 2002. Organic revenues declined 17 percent compared with the 2002 period, including the sale of explosives-detection instruments to the TSA, which lowered the 2003 quarter's growth rate by 16 percent. The effect of currency translation increased revenues by 5 percent, while acquisitions/divestitures decreased revenues by 1 percent. GAAP operating margin increased to 6.2 percent in 2003, versus 5.6 percent a year ago. Adjusted operating margin was 9.3 percent, down from 10.1 percent in 2002. Optical Technologies In the Optical Technologies segment, revenues were $57 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, versus $64 million in 2002; organic revenues declined 11 percent. Although year-to-year revenue comparisons were down, the segment experienced sequential growth in revenues of 9 percent, reflecting the upturn in microelectronics and other industrial markets addressed by our lasers and photonics products. The effect of currency translation increased revenues by 4 percent, but was offset by a divestiture that reduced revenues by the same percentage. GAAP operating margin was negative 1.5 percent for the 2003 period, versus negative 12.1 percent in 2002. The segment reported a significant rise in adjusted operating margin of 6.1 percent in the 2003 quarter, compared with 0.1 percent last year, resulting mainly from continued productivity gains. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS and adjusted operating margin, which exclude restructuring and other costs/income and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EPS also excludes certain other gains and losses, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and benefit from tax credit carryforwards. We exclude these items because they are outside of our normal operations and, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods. We also use the concept of organic revenue growth, which excludes the effects of currency translation and acquisitions/divestitures. We believe that the inclusion of such measures helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. Specifically: - We exclude costs and tax effects associated with restructuring activities, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, in connection with the final phase of our overall reorganization, which we expect will be substantially complete in 2004. We believe that the costs related to these restructuring activities are not indicative of our normal operating costs. - We exclude the expense and tax effects associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives of 5 to 10 years. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. - We also exclude certain gains/losses and related tax effects, as well as benefit from tax credit carryforwards, that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability, such as those arising from the sale of a business or real estate, the sale of our remaining equity interests in Thoratec and FLIR Systems, and the early retirement of debt, which we believe are not indicative of our normal operating gains and losses. Thermo's management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring the company's core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures of Thermo's results of operations included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for Thermo's results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying tables and/or the text of this press release. Thermo's earnings guidance, however, is only provided on an adjusted basis. It is not feasible to provide GAAP EPS guidance because the items excluded, other than the amortization expense, are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, such as decisions concerning the location and timing of facility consolidations, and the timing of and proceeds from the sale of our remaining equity interest in Thoratec. We no longer own any shares of FLIR Systems. Conference Call Thermo Electron will hold its earnings conference call on Thursday, February 5, at 11 a.m. Eastern time.
