PEABODY, Mass., Dec. 08, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq: ALOG ), enabling the world’s medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2015.
Highlights during the first quarter (comparisons are against Q1 of fiscal 2015) included:
- Revenue of $115 million, down 3% (down 2% on constant currency)
- Gross margin of 44%, flat (up 1pt. on constant currency)
- GAAP operating margin of 2%; GAAP diluted EPS of $0.11, includes $3.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share of pre-tax restructuring charges associated with FY2016 Restructuring Plan announced in Q4 fiscal 2015
- Non-GAAP operating margin of 8%; Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.55
- Positive operating cash flows of $14 million, free cash flow of $11 million
- Launched and began shipments of premium bk5000 ultrasound system for surgery; introduced bk3500 ultrasound system for POC
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $114.9 million, a decrease of 3%, compared with revenue of $118.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Included in GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the first quarter is a pre-tax restructuring charge of $3.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, associated with the 2016 Restructuring Plan previously announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $7.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with $7.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the prior year’s first quarter. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release.
Jim Green, president and CEO, commented, “As we previously announced, our first quarter revenue was impacted by delays in revenue recognition, timing of new product introductions and foreign currency. In fiscal 2016 we expect a return to growth in the second half, yielding low-single-digit revenue growth for the year. With our focus on costs, we continue to expect an improvement in non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 1 pt.”
Segment Revenues
Medical Imaging segment revenue was $64.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, down 3% from revenue of $66.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due primarily to timing of shipments of CT and MR products offset by growth in mammography detector sales.
Ultrasound segment revenue was $36.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, down 3% (flat in constant currency) from revenue of $37.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, impacted by timing of shipments and lower legacy OEM probes, offset by strong sales growth in emerging markets, in addition to growth from our technology partnership in ultrasound systems.
Security and Detection segment revenue was $13.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, down 3% from revenue of $13.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, on lower medium-speed system shipments and payment delays from RapidDNA systems.
Update to Fiscal 2016 Restructuring Plan
Analogic previously announced a restructuring of its business in the fourth quarter 2015 that includes the transition of certain manufacturing activities from our Peabody, Massachusetts location to our existing facility in Shanghai, China, a reduction in force in order to align our research and development investment with expected customer funding in our Security and Detection business, and a voluntary retirement program available to eligible employees in the affected areas of our Peabody, Massachusetts facility.
Due to a higher than expected participation in the voluntary retirement program, the Company now expects to incur a restructuring charge of approximately $10 million in fiscal 2016 (compared with $6 million estimated in the fourth quarter of 2015), of which $3.3 million was taken in the first quarter of FY16 with the balance taken throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. The Company now expects annual savings on a pre-tax basis of approximately $4 million in fiscal 2016 and $11 million in fiscal 2017.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On December 3, 2015, Analogic’s Board of Directors declared a $0.10 cash dividend for each common share for its first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2015. The cash dividend will be payable on January 4, 2016, to shareholders of record on December 18, 2015.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
We provide non-GAAP income from operations, operating margin, other income, net income, and diluted net income per share as supplemental measures to reported results regarding our operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to these financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Share-Based Compensation Expense We incur expense related to share-based compensation included in the reported presentation of cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expense. Although share-based compensation is an expense and viewed as a form of compensation, these expenses vary in amount from period to period. In addition, fluctuations in market price and volatility of our shares, risk-free interest rates, and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards impact the expense period to period. A portion of our equity compensation is performance-based, which drives volatility in expense as estimated performance-based metrics are updated for actual and forecasted results. Our management team believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent between periods and allows comparisons of our operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation.
BK Medical Distributor Matter Inquiry-Related Costs As initially disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, we have identified transactions involving our Danish subsidiary, BK Medical, and certain of its foreign distributors, with respect to which we have raised questions concerning compliance with law and our business policies. We have concluded that the identified transactions have been properly accounted for in our reported consolidated financial statements in all material respects. During the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred $26 and $770 thousand of pre-tax BK Medical inquiry-related costs, respectively.
Acquisition Related Expenses We incur amortization of intangibles and other expenses related to acquisitions. The intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated economic life. We believe the exclusion of these acquisition related expenses allow comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses. On March 2, 2013, we acquired Ultrasonix Medical Corporation and on September 20, 2013 we acquired the remaining 90% equity interest in PocketSonics, Inc. We initially purchased a 10% equity interest in PocketSonics in April 2010. During the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The remainder relates to prior acquisitions.
Restructuring Charges During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 we announced a restructuring plan for fiscal 2016. In the first quarter ended October 31, 2015 we incurred pre-tax charges of $3.3 million primarily due to severance and related costs for involuntary terminated employees.
Taxes For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, we adjust the provision for (benefit from) income taxes to tax effect the non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on our income tax (benefit) provision. In addition, from time-to-time, we recognize certain non-recurring tax adjustments.
Summary We exclude the above-described expenses, their related tax impact and other non-recurring tax benefits in evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations, and allocating resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
These non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
