Bio-Rad Reports Second-Quarter 2012 Financial Results

HERCULES, CA - August 7, 2012 - Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second-quarter reported revenues were $510.4 million, down 2.2 percent compared to $521.7 million reported for the second quarter of 2011. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 3.0 percent compared to the same period last year. Second-quarter gross margin was 56.4 percent compared to 56.2 percent reported during the same quarter last year. Gross margin includes approximately $2.2 million of amortization expense resulting from the Company's acquisition of QuantaLife, Inc. in October 2011. Bio-Rad's current quarter operating income results were favorably impacted by $8.1 million due to a reduction in the valuation of the contingent consideration associated with the QuantaLife acquisition. Additionally, the receipt of certain foreign receivables, that had been previously reserved, benefitted quarterly results.

Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $48.3 million compared to $40.0 million reported for the second quarter of 2011. Second-quarter earnings were $1.69 per share on a fully diluted basis versus $1.41 per share reported for the same period last year.

On a reported basis, year-to-date revenues were down 1.0 percent to $996.7 million compared to $1,006.8 million for the first two quarters of 2011. On a currency-neutral basis, revenues grew 2.3 percent.

Year-to-date net income was $79.3 million, or $2.78 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $73.1 million, or $2.57 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2011.

“Currency changes mask what was otherwise a decent result for the year so far, given the continued challenges of the global economy,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. “While the economic outlook suggests more of the same for the remainder of the year, we continue to pursue opportunities on a number of fronts.”

Life Science
Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter were $162.4 million, down 4.4 percent compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment net sales decreased by 0.9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2011. Solid growth in Asia Pacific and Japan were offset by slowness in North America and Europe. During the quarter, shipments of process media were down simply as a result of timing. In April, the company introduced its V3 Western Workflow system that offers a portfolio of best-in-class products for electrophoresis, blotting, and imaging, saving time and generating more reliable and robust data.
Clinical Diagnostics
Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the second quarter were $344.0 million, down 1.2 percent compared to the same quarter last year. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales increased 4.9 percent. These gains were the result of growth across many products lines, most notably from blood virus, quality controls, diabetes, and microbiology products as well as the BioPlex® 2200 system. Strength in the emerging markets, Asia Pacific, and Japan helped to offset weakness in the European market.

Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) August 7, 2012. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 888-873-4896 (in the U.S.) or 617-213-8850 (international), access number 91064548.
