Inverness Medical Innovations Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter
Thursday October 24, 8:02 am ET
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 24 -- Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc., a leading provider of women's health and nutritional products and a developer of advanced medical devices, today announced its financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2002.
Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc. was formed in May 2001 as a subsidiary of Inverness Medical Technology, Inc. (IMT), and subsequently split-off as an independent public company as part of a split-off and merger transaction whereby Johnson & Johnson acquired IMT in November 2001. As part of the split-off and merger, Inverness Medical Innovations acquired all rights to IMT's women's health, nutritional supplement and clinical diagnostics businesses, as well as certain intellectual property. Because Inverness Medical Innovations had not historically been operated or accounted for as a stand-alone business, the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 discussed in this press release refer to historical consolidated financial statements for Inverness Medical Innovations' businesses which have been carved out of IMT 's financial statements in accordance with the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 have been carved out of IMT's past financial statements, they may not reflect what Inverness Medical Innovations' results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had it been a separate, stand-alone entity during those periods.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Inverness Medical Innovations reported income, excluding non-recurring and non-cash charges and income, of $1.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a loss, excluding non-recurring income, of $288,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2001. The non-recurring and non-cash charges and income for the third quarter of 2002 consist of a non-cash charge of $1.3 million to mark to market an interest rate swap agreement, non-cash interest expense of $43,000 related to the amortization of original issue discounts and a $1.0 million unrealized foreign exchange gain against the Euro. The non-recurring income for the third quarter of 2001 consists of a gain of $441,000 from discontinued operations resulting from the split-off. Giving full effect to these non-recurring and non-cash charges and income as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the net income for the third quarter of 2002 was $1.1 million compared to net income of $153,000 for the third quarter of 2001. After deducting an aggregate charge of $7.9 million consisting of accelerated amortization of the discounts and non-cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, there was a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.65 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2002 compared to net income of $0.02 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2001. The amortization of the discounts was accelerated due to the conversion of approximately 84% of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock during the third quarter of 2002.
In the third quarter of 2002, the Company had net revenues of $53.9 million, a $42.7 million increase over the net revenues of $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2001. The majority of the revenue increase was due to the additional revenues contributed by the women's health unit, Unipath, acquired from Unilever on December 20, 2001 and the nutritional supplement unit, IVC, acquired on March 19, 2002.
Commenting on the quarter, Ron Zwanziger, Chairman and CEO of Inverness Medical, stated: "We continue to be very pleased with our progress not just on financial and cost-containment areas, but on our product development initiatives as well. Indeed, our research and development efforts seem to be progressing even better than we had hoped as we work toward future product introductions which include products in the areas of women's health, strep throat infections and a test for prothrombin time used in the treatment of patients on anti-coagulants."
Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $142.9 million compared to net revenues of $34.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The majority of the revenue increase was due to the additional revenues contributed by Unipath and IVC.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported a loss, excluding non-recurring and non-cash charges and income, of $931,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to income, excluding non-recurring income, of $573,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The non-recurring and non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 consist of a $24.8 million non-cash charge for impairment of assets related to the goodwill and certain intangible assets of the nutritional supplement business as required upon the adoption of recently issued accounting standards, non-cash compensation expenses of $10.2 million related to restricted shares purchased by a senior executive of the Company, $2.8 million of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of original issue discounts and beneficial conversion features of certain financings, a net extraordinary gain of $8.5 million due to the early retirement of certain subordinated notes and the benefit received from the early extinguishment of the related beneficial conversion feature, $624,000 for employer taxes related to the exercises of nonqualified stock options by two senior executive officers, $668,000 of unrealized foreign exchange losses, $217,000 paid by the Company for a litigation settlement and a non-cash charge of $1.3 million to mark to market an interest rate swap agreement. Giving full effect to non-recurring and non-cash charges and income, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $33.0 million compared to net income of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. After deducting an aggregate charge of $11.7 million consisting of accelerated amortization of the discounts and non-cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, there was a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $5.16 per diluted share in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net income of $0.19 per diluted share in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The Company will host a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) today, October 24, 2002, to discuss these results as well as other corporate matters.
