ICU Medical, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results

Third Quarter Earnings Per Share of $0.65

Company Raises Annual 2011 Revenue and Earnings Per Share Guidance Range

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Oct. 17, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq:ICUI), a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of innovative medical technologies used in I.V. therapy, oncology and critical care applications, announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Third quarter 2011 revenue increased 1.0% to $76.5 million, compared to $75.7 million in the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $9.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $9.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue increased 8.0% to $225.7 million, compared to $209.0 million in the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $26.8 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.9 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Scott Lamb, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are pleased with our third quarter accomplishments marked by solid profitability and positive cash flow. Strong performance of CLAVEs, oncology products and TEGO was partially offset by expected decreases in Custom Sets and critical care. Our international sales were up 9% while domestic distributor and direct sales increased 6% year over year, validating robust demand for our products worldwide in spite of the challenging European economic environment."

"Looking for the remainder of the fiscal year, we will focus on leveraging our resources to invest in research and development initiatives, expand our presence in all targeted markets and build value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Lamb.

Revenue by market segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was as follows (dollars in millions):

The Company ended the third quarter with a healthy balance sheet.
