ALERE INC. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
WALTHAM, MA...February 17, 2011...Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR), a global leader in enabling individuals to take charge of their health at home through the merger of rapid diagnostics and health management, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.
Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010:
    Net revenue of $578.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $546.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
    Product and services revenues from our Professional Diagnostics segment were $401.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $362.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Recent professional diagnostics acquisitions contributed $43.8 million of incremental net revenue compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
    North American influenza sales decreased to $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $39.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
    Excluding the impact of the change in North American influenza revenues, currency adjusted organic growth in our Professional Diagnostics segment was 8.8%. This growth rate benefited from the termination of a distribution relationship for certain of our cardiology products in the fourth quarter of 2009, which reduced 2009 revenues by approximately $7.0 million. Further, excluding this impact, the adjusted organic growth rate in the Professional Diagnostics segment was 6.5%.
 
    Adjusted gross margins were 55.3% for the quarter compared to 58.3% for the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted gross margins from product and services in our Professional Diagnostics segment increased sequentially from 59.9% in the third quarter of 2010 to 60.1% in the fourth quarter. Adjusted gross margins in our Health Management segment decreased sequentially from 51.8% in the third quarter of 2010 to 47.6% in the fourth quarter.
 
    Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was $78.4 million, reflecting adjusted cash flow from operations of $106.2 million, offset by capital expenditures of $27.8 million.
 
    GAAP net loss of $1.0 billion attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc. and respective net loss per common share of $12.24, compared to GAAP net loss of $3.1 million attributable to common stockholders of Alere Inc. and respective net loss per common share of $0.04, for the fourth

 


 

      quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 GAAP net loss includes a $1.0 billion non-cash charge associated with the impairment of goodwill in our Health Management segment.
 
   
    Adjusted cash basis net income per diluted common share from continuing operations of $0.71, compared to adjusted cash basis net income per diluted common share from continuing operations of $0.67, for the fourth quarter of 2009.
The Company’s GAAP results for the fourth quarter of 2010 include amortization of $78.7 million, $6.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.6 million of restructuring charges, $1.4 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, a $1.0 billion non-cash charge associated with the impairment of goodwill in our Health Management segment, a $60.1 million compensation charge associated with our acquisition of minority shares, a $0.7 million write-down in the carrying value of a facility and $4.1 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations, offset by a $0.3 million adjustment associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with acquisitions and a $0.3 million, net of tax, allocation of certain of the aforementioned charges to non-controlling stockholders. The Company’s GAAP results for the fourth quarter of 2009 include amortization of $71.9 million, $6.9 million of restructuring charges, $7.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $1.4 million charge associated with the write-up to fair market value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Concateno plc, $4.3 million of acquisition-related costs recorded in accordance with our adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, $1.8 million of expense incurred in connection with the disposal of our Nutritionals business, $1.8 million of expense recorded for fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations and a $3.2 million write-down in the carrying value of a facility. These amounts, net of tax, have been excluded from the adjusted cash basis net income per diluted common share attributable to Alere Inc. for the respective quarters.
A detailed reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted cash basis net loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss under GAAP, as well as a discussion regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, is included in the schedules to this press release.

(a)   In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company excludes from net income or loss (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business. In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant. Management believes that excluding such charges and income from net income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner. Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements. It should be noted that “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
 
(b)   Amortization expense of $78.7 million and $71.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009 GAAP results, respectively, including $16.3 million and $11.6 million charged to cost of sales, $1.3 million and $1.2 million charged to research and development, $60.9 million and $58.8 million charged to selling, general and administrative, with $0.2 million and $0.3 million charged through equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, during each of the respective quarters. Amortization associated with discontinued operations amounted to $0.1 million ($33.0 thousand, net of tax) during the fourth quarter of 2009. (See also footnote k below.)
 
(c)   Restructuring charge associated with the decision to close facilities of $1.6 million and $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009 GAAP results, respectively.

(o)   For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, potential dilutive shares were not used in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share under GAAP because inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.
 
(p)   Included in the weighted average diluted common shares for the calculation of net income per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2010, on an adjusted cash basis, were dilutive shares consisting of 1,188,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential exercise of stock options and warrants. Also included were potential dilutive shares consisting of 3,438,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential conversion of convertible debt securities, 11,893,000 common stock equivalent shares from the potential conversion of Series B convertible preferred stock, 115,000 common stock equivalents from the potential settlement of a portion of the deferred purchase price consideration related to the ACON Second Territory Business and 112,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock associated with contingent consideration arrangements. The diluted net income per common share calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2010, on an adjusted cash basis, included the add back of interest expense related to the convertible debt of $0.7 million, the add back of $6.2 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B convertible preferred stock and the add back of interest expense related to the ACON Second Territory Business of $24.0 thousand resulting in net income available to common stockholders of $71.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

(a)   In calculating net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis, the Company excludes from net income or loss (i) certain non-cash charges, including amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring charges and income, and (iii) certain other charges and income that have a significant positive or negative impact on results yet do not occur on a consistent or regular basis in its business. In determining whether a particular item meets one of these criteria, management considers facts and circumstances that it believes are relevant. Management believes that excluding such charges and income from net income or loss allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner. Due to the frequency of their occurrence in its business, the Company does not adjust net income or loss for the costs associated with litigation, including payments made or received through settlements. It should be noted that “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, “net income or loss on an adjusted cash basis” presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
