Natus Medical Announces Record Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Record second quarter non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.34
Achieves second quarter 63.2% non-GAAP gross margin and 18.5% non-GAAP operating margin
Increases full year 2015 non-GAAP earnings guidance

PLEASANTON, Calif. (July 22, 2015) - Natus Medical Incorporated (NASDAQ: BABY) today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported revenue of $91.9 million, an increase of 6.5% compared to $86.3 million reported for the second quarter 2014. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 8.0% to $93.4 million, after adjusting for a $1.5 million foreign currency impact. GAAP net income was $9.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $7.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the second quarter 2014.

The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $11.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 25.8% over the prior year of $8.9 million. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.34 for the second quarter 2015, compared to $0.28 in the second quarter 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported revenue of $181.3 million, an increase of 5.5% compared to $171.9 million reported for the same period in 2014. On a constant currency basis, year-to-date revenue increased 7.4% to $184.6 million, after adjusting for a $3.3 million foreign currency impact. GAAP net income was $18.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with net income of $14.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.

The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 24.4% over the prior year of $17.2 million. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased to $0.65 for the second quarter 2015 from $0.53 per diluted share reported for the same period in the previous year.
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $6.2 million to $73.2 million during the quarter. The Company repurchased $4.2 million of company stock during the second quarter.

"I am very pleased with our second quarter results as we achieved record revenues and earnings. Both revenue and earnings exceeded our guidance. I am also pleased that we were able to achieve these results in the face of a $1.5 million negative currency effect on revenue during the quarter," said Jim Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

"I am most satisfied with our second quarter 63.2% non-GAAP gross profit margin as well as our 18.5% non-GAAP operating profit margin. Achieving this outstanding gross margin confirms our belief that Natus can become a 65% gross margin business in the future. We continue to drive to our full year 18% operating profit margin goal for 2015 as well as our long term operating profit goal of 20%," Mr. Hawkins continued. "Both our Neurodiagnostic and Newborn Care businesses performed well in the quarter led by outstand

ing performance in our domestic markets. Our new service business initiatives, Peloton, GND and NicView all reported record revenues in the quarter. We also expanded our service franchise during the quarter as Natus signed a five year, $32.5 million Hearing Screening Coordination contract with the State of California. This contract commissions Natus to work with hospitals and caregivers to monitor infant hearing screening, diagnostics and intervention activities for the State of California to ensure that infants with hearing loss are identified and directed to treatment as soon as possible. This contract started July 1st. We believe each of these new service initiatives continue to have substantial growth opportunities in the quarters and years ahead. These new initiatives are the beginning of an expanded service business and they position Natus for accelerated revenue growth and record earnings in 2015," said Hawkins.


Financial Guidance

The Company provided revenue and earnings guidance for the third quarter and increased its earnings guidance for the full year 2015.

For the third quarter of 2015, the Company expects revenue of $93.0 million to $94.0 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.37 to $0.38.

The Company increased its non-GAAP earnings guidance for the full year 2015 and now expects to report non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.50 to $1.52, an increase from previous guidance of $1.47 to $1.51. Full year 2015 revenue guidance was unchanged at $376 million to $378 million.

The Company's non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes amortization of acquisition related intangibles, acquisition related charges, restructuring charges, and their related tax effects. Non-GAAP earnings guidance includes the impact of expensing employee share based compensation. All non-GAAP earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

 
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's non-GAAP results exclude amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring charges, certain discreet tax items, direct costs of acquisitions and the related tax effects. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures is included in this press release.

The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding these charges provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results. Therefore, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
