Varian, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results
  • Sales Up 10%
  • Non-GAAP Operating Earnings Up 28%, GAAP Operating Earnings Up 43%
  • Non-GAAP Diluted EPS Up 31%, GAAP Diluted EPS Up 47%

Palo Alto, CA, 25 April 2007:  Varian, Inc. (NasdaqGS: VARI) today reported that revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 increased 9.7% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. The increase was driven by strong growth in sales of Scientific Instruments products for industrial applications. Demand was strong within Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, which more than offset continued softness in North America. Revenues were $229.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to $209.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Non-GAAP (adjusted) net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 increased 29.9% to $19.5 million, or $0.63 diluted earnings per share, compared to $15.1 million, or $0.48 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. On a GAAP basis, net earnings in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $16.3 million, or $0.53 diluted earnings per share, compared to $11.2 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Adjusted operating earnings increased 28.2% to $29.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to $22.8 million in the second quarter last year. Adjusted operating profit margin was 12.7% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to 10.9% in the prior-year quarter. The improvements in adjusted operating earnings and adjusted operating profit margin were primarily the result of a mix shift toward higher-margin products, efficiency improvements impacting SG&A expense and sales volume leverage in the Scientific Instruments segment. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings were $24.1 million and operating profit margin was 10.5% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to $16.9 million and 8.1%, respectively, in the same quarter a year ago.

"Our investment in research and development continues to pay off," said Garry W. Rogerson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Of particular note was the fast pace of customer demand for some of our newer information rich detection products, including our new routine 400MHz NMR and some of our mass spec systems. We are in a position to deliver another record year."

For a complete reconciliation of non-GAAP (adjusted) financial information used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial information, please refer to the attached Reconciliations of GAAP to Adjusted Results, Actual and Projected.

Results by Segment

Scientific Instruments revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $190.3 million, representing an increase of 11.0% over revenues of $171.4 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating profit margin was 13.0% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to 10.6% in the prior-year quarter. On a GAAP basis, operating profit margin was 11.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to 8.2% in the same quarter a year ago.

Vacuum Technologies revenues increased 3.7% to $39.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to $38.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. Adjusted operating profit margin was 19.6% in the second quarter of both fiscal years 2007 and 2006. On a GAAP basis, operating profit margin was 19.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to 18.9% in the prior-year quarter.

For the combined segments, adjusted operating profit margin before unallocated corporate costs was 14.2% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to 12.3% in the prior-year quarter. On a GAAP basis, operating profit margin before unallocated corporate costs was 12.8% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to 10.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Outlook

Varian, Inc. increased its guidance for fiscal year 2007. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to be $2.40 to $2.50 for fiscal year 2007, compared to prior guidance of $2.28 to $2.40. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share are expected to be $1.88 to $2.01 for fiscal year 2007, compared to prior guidance of $1.86 to $1.98.

The company's GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full fiscal year 2007 are expected to include the following items:

 

  • Share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.21,
  • Acquisition-related intangible amortization of approximately $0.17,
  • Amortization of approximately $0.03 related to inventory written up in connection with the acquisition of IonSpec Corporation in fiscal year 2006, and
  • Restructuring and other related costs of approximately $0.08 to $0.11, substantially all of which are expected to be incurred in connection with activities described in a separate press release issued today.

Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures for cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, purchased in-process research and development, operating earnings, operating profit margins, income tax expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related intangible and inventory write-up amortization, in-process research and development charges and restructuring and other related costs. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures are detailed in the Reconciliations of GAAP to Adjusted Results attached to this press release. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations.

We believe that excluding acquisition-related intangible and inventory write-up amortization and in-process research and development charges provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of the company's core operating results and trends. In addition, investors have indicated to us that they analyze the benefits of acquisitions based on the cash return on the investment made, and thus consider financial measures excluding acquisition-related intangible and inventory write-up amortization and in-process research and development charges as important, useful information.

We similarly believe that excluding share-based compensation expense and restructuring and other related costs (principally related to facility closures and employee terminations to improve operational efficiency) provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of the company's core operating results and trends, especially when comparing those results on a consistent basis to results for previous periods and anticipated results for future periods. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding share-based compensation expense and restructuring and other related costs as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating of our future results.

We also believe that, in excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related intangible and inventory write-up amortization, in-process research and development charges and restructuring and other related costs, our non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency into what is used by management to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods, to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies, in making financial and operating decisions and to establish certain management compensation.

Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, our non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
