Exhibit 99.1
Charles River Laboratories Announces Second-Quarter 2006
Results from Continuing Operations
WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2006--Charles River
Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL)
- Net Sales Increase of 6.8% on Preclinical Services Growth of
14.1% -
- GAAP EPS of $0.46 and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.57 -
- Non-GAAP EPS Increase 21% from $0.47 in First Quarter of 2006 -
- Benefit of Strategic Initiatives Drives Operating Efficiency -
Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today
reported second-quarter and year-to-date 2006 financial results.
Beginning this period, the Company is reporting results from
continuing operations, reflecting its strategic portfolio realignment
to focus on its core competencies in research models and preclinical
services. As a result of the of the intended sale of the Clinical
Phase II - IV business and closure of the Interventional and Surgical
Services (ISS) business (announced on May 9, 2006), these businesses
are now reported as discontinued operations, and the Company has
reclassified historical comparisons accordingly.
Net sales from continuing operations increased 6.8% in the second
quarter of 2006, to $267.9 million from $250.9 million in the second
quarter of 2005. The sales increase was driven by strong Preclinical
Services sales, while sales from Research Models & Services (RMS) were
unchanged from the second quarter of 2005. GAAP earnings from
continuing operations were $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $0.43
per diluted share in the second quarter of last year, and on a
non-GAAP basis, earnings from continuing operations were $0.57 per
diluted share, compared to $0.55 per share in the prior period. On a
sequential basis, non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations
increased 21.3% from $0.47 per diluted share reported in the first
quarter of 2006, and GAAP earnings from continuing operations
increased 17.9% from $0.39 per diluted share.
"We are very pleased with the progress we achieved during the
second quarter," said James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Exceptional sales growth in the Preclinical
Services segment, due in part to new capacity, stable pricing, an
optimal study mix and improved operating efficiency, translated into
stronger sales and operating income growth for the quarter. In the RMS
segment, we saw improvement in Vaccine product sales and another
strong quarter for our In Vitro business, however, ongoing cost
reductions by several large pharmaceutical customers limited research
model sales."
Mr. Foster continued, "At Charles River, we remain committed to
further strengthening our core businesses, by executing our planned
capacity expansion, increasing operational efficiencies, and enhancing
our management team and scientific expertise. During the balance of
this year, we will continue to focus on these key initiatives as a
means to advance our goal of building a stronger foundation for our
business, our customers, and our shareholders over the long term."
Second-Quarter Results
Net sales from continuing operations increased 6.8% to $267.9
million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $250.9 million in
the same period in 2005.
On a GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations was $32.8
million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006,
compared to $31.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the second
quarter of 2005. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R (SFAS 123R), "Share-Based Payment," which the
Company adopted on January 1, 2006, second-quarter 2006 results
included $3.3 million, or $0.03 per share, of stock option expense.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations was
$40.9 million for the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 2.6% from
$39.9 million for the same period in 2005. Second-quarter earnings per
diluted share on a non-GAAP basis were $0.57, compared to $0.55 per
share in the second quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP net income and earnings
per share for the second quarter of 2006 excluded the following
planned charges which were recorded during the period:
-- $5.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for cost-saving
initiatives. In the RMS segment, the charges were $2.3 million
for closure of two small vaccine facilities and a management
consolidation in the Transgenic Services business. In the
Preclinical Services segment, the charges were $3.0 million,
for headcount reductions, primarily in the Montreal facility,
and closure of a small Interventional and Surgical Services
operation in Ireland.
-- $8.6 million, or $0.08 per share, of amortization and
stock-based compensation costs associated with the acquisition
of Inveresk.
Non-GAAP results for the second quarter of 2005 excluded $12.9
million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for Inveresk-related amortization
and compensation costs.
Including a loss of $7.0 million from discontinued operations,
consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $25.7
million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $31.9 million, or
$0.44 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005.
Research Models and Services (RMS)
Sales for the RMS segment were $130.8 million in the second
quarter of 2006, unchanged from the second quarter of 2005. Strong
sales of Vaccine and In Vitro products were offset by slower sales of
research models in Europe and the United States and Transgenic
Services, as a result of certain large pharmaceutical customers'
efforts to reduce costs. In addition, foreign exchange reduced net
sales by 0.6%.
In the second quarter of 2006, the RMS segment's gross and
operating margins were lower than in the second quarter of last year,
reflecting slower sales of research models, continuing softness in
Transgenic Services, and $1.3 million associated with the adoption of
SFAS 123R. In addition, charges of $2.3 million associated with
cost-saving initiatives in the second quarter reduced the GAAP
operating margin. On a GAAP basis, the segment's gross margin was
42.4%, compared to 44.1% for the second quarter of 2005, and the
operating margin was 29.1%, compared to 32.9% for the same period last
year. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the charges associated with
cost-saving initiatives, the operating margin was 30.8%. Costs of SFAS
123R reduced the second-quarter 2006 GAAP and non-GAAP operating
margins by 0.9% and 1.0%, respectively.
On a sequential basis, the RMS gross margin declined to 42.4% from
43.3% in the first quarter of 2006. The GAAP operating margin declined
to 29.1% from 31.4%, and on a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin
declined to 30.8% from 31.4% in the first quarter of 2006. Lower sales
of research models in Europe and the United States were the primary
drivers of the decline.
Preclinical Services
Results for the Preclinical Services segment now include the Phase
I Clinical business, and historical results have been restated
accordingly.
Second-quarter net sales for the Preclinical Services segment were
$137.0 million, an increase of 14.1% from the $120.1 million in the
second quarter of 2005. Sales were driven by a number of factors
including: strong demand across the Company's largest facilities; a
favorable study mix, particularly in Montreal; new capacity brought on
line in the second quarter in existing facilities in Edinburgh,
Massachusetts and Nevada; and higher sales of Discovery Services in
Massachusetts.
On a GAAP basis, the Preclinical segment's gross margin was 37.7%,
up from 36.5% for the second quarter of 2005. The operating margin
improved to 16.4% from 15.5%. Significantly higher sales and improved
operating efficiencies offset the $3.0 million charge for cost-saving
initiatives and $1.6 million cost associated with adoption of SFAS
123R. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes $8.5 million of amortization
related to the Inveresk acquisition and charges associated with
cost-saving initiatives, the second-quarter operating margin increased
to 24.8% compared to 24.3% for the second quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP
operating income for the second quarter of 2005 excluded amortization
and compensation charges related to Inveresk of $10.6 million. The
GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins increased in the second quarter of
2006 despite the costs associated with SFAS 123R, which reduced the
GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins by 1.2%.
On a sequential basis, the Preclinical gross margin increased to
37.7% from 31.7% in the first quarter of 2006. The GAAP operating
margin increased to 16.4% from 11.0% and on a non-GAAP basis, the
operating margin increased to 24.8% from 17.6% in the first quarter of
2006. The increases were driven by higher sales growth and improved
operating efficiency.
Six-Month Results
For the first six months of 2006, net sales from continuing
operations increased by 6.0% to $522.0 million, compared to $492.3
million in the same period in 2005. The negative effect of foreign
exchange reduced the six-month growth rate by approximately 1.6%.
On a GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations was $61.3
million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the first half of 2006,
compared to $59.4 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2005. In accordance with SFAS 123R, first-half 2006 results
included $6.7 million, or $0.06 per share, of stock option expense.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations was
$75.2 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the first six months of
2006, compared to $77.4 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the
same period in 2005. For the first six months of 2006, non-GAAP net
income excluded the following charges:
-- $5.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for cost-saving
initiatives.
-- $17.2 million, or $0.16 per share, of amortization and
stock-based compensation costs associated with the acquisition
of Inveresk.
Non-GAAP net income for the first half of 2005 excluded
Inveresk-related charges of $26.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
Including a loss of $135.7 million from discontinued operations,
$129.2 million of which resulted from the goodwill impairment recorded
in the first quarter of 2006 related to the intended sale of the
Clinical Phase II - IV business, the consolidated net loss for the
first six months of 2006 was $74.4 million, or $1.02 per diluted
share, compared to net income of $59.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted
share, for the same period in 2005.
Research Models and Services (RMS)
For the first six months of 2006, RMS net sales were $259.8
million, slightly higher than the first-half 2005 net sales of $258.7
million, but an increase of 2.6% when excluding the negative effect of
foreign exchange. The RMS segment gross margin was 42.9% in the first
half of 2006, compared to 44.2% for the year-ago period, and the
operating margin was 30.2% compared to 33.0%. On a non-GAAP basis,
which excluded the $2.3 million charge associated with cost-saving
initiatives, the operating margin was 31.1%, compared to 33.0% in the
first six months of 2005. Costs of $2.7 million related to SFAS 123R
reduced the GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins for the first half of
2006 by 1.0%.
Preclinical Services
For the first six months of 2006, Preclinical net sales were
$262.2 million, an increase of 12.2% over first-half 2005 net sales of
$233.6 million. Both the gross and operating margin were affected by
the $3.0 million charge for cost-saving initiatives. On a GAAP basis,
the Preclinical segment gross margin was 34.8% in the first half of
2006, compared to 35.7% in the year-ago period, and the operating
margin was 13.9% compared to 13.6%. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating
margin was 21.4% in the first half of 2006 compared to 22.8% in the in
the year-ago period. On a year-to-date basis, the cost of SFAS 123R
was $3.5 million, which reduced the GAAP and non-GAAP operating
margins by 1.3%.
Stock Repurchase Program
Charles River presently has a stock repurchase authorization in
place from its Board of Directors which provides for the purchase of
up to $300.0 million of its common stock. The Company repurchased
stock under this authorization pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan
initiated in August 2005. Stock repurchases made under this plan
totaled approximately 0.9 million shares at a cost of $37.5 million
through June 5, 2006, the date on which the Rule 10b5-1 plan was
cancelled.
In the second quarter of 2006, as previously announced, the
Company closed the sale of $350 million of Convertible Senior Notes
due in 2013. Concurrent with the sale of those notes, the Company
repurchased approximately 3.7 million shares at a cost of $148.9
million. Combined with stock repurchases made under the 10b5-1 plan,
the Company has repurchased a total of approximately 4.6 million
shares at a cost of $186.4 million. There are currently no specific
plans for the shares that have been or may be purchased under the
authorization. As of July 1, 2006, Charles River had approximately
68.3 million shares of common stock outstanding.
The Company intends to implement an accelerated stock repurchase
(ASR) program in the third quarter of 2006. Under the ASR program, the
Company expects to repurchase approximately $75.0 million of common
stock, which would leave a balance of approximately $39.0 million
available for repurchases under the current authorization.
Guidance
The Company continues to maintain its forward-looking non-GAAP
guidance based on continuing operations for 2006, which was originally
provided with the first-quarter financial results on May 9, 2006. The
2006 GAAP guidance for continuing operations has been revised to
reflect the reclassification to discontinued operations of the
first-quarter 2006 Clinical Phase II - IV goodwill impairment charge
of $129.2 million, or $1.81 per diluted share. In addition, a portion
of the amortization and compensation charges related to Inveresk has
been reclassified to discontinued operations, as the charges were
related to the Clinical Phase II - IV business.
2006 GUIDANCE (from continuing operations) REVISED
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales growth (in %) 6% - 8%
Sales ($ in millions) $1,050 - $1,075
GAAP EPS estimate $1.73 - $1.79
Q2 cost-saving initiatives $0.05
Inveresk amortization and compensation charges $0.34
----------------
Non-GAAP EPS estimate $2.12 - $2.18
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Foster concluded, "While we do not expect the pressures
impacting our pharma customers to improve in the near term, we believe
that their growing emphasis on strategic outsourced services, the
value of the essential products and services we provide and the strong
relationships we maintain with our customers will enable us to achieve
our goals for 2006."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures which
exclude, among other items, amortization of intangible assets and
other charges related to the Inveresk acquisition, goodwill impairment
charges taken with respect to our Phase II - IV Clinical business, and
strategic cost-saving initiatives. We exclude these items from the
non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal
operations. We believe that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial
measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful
understanding of our core operating results and future prospects
without the effect of one-time charges, and is consistent with how
management measures and forecasts the Company's performance,
especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts.
Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company's
operations against the financial results of other companies in the
industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP
financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be
considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to continue to
assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent
with applicable rules and regulations. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP
financial measures used in this press release to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and
the accompanying exhibits to, this press release, and can also be

Charles River management believes that non-GAAP financial measures
provide useful information to allow investors to gain a meaningful
understanding of our core operating results and future prospects,
without the effect of one-time charges, consistent with the manner
in which management measures and forecasts the Company's
performance. The non-GAAP financial measures included are not
meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for results of
operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends
to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP
results consistent with applicable rules and regulations.
