ICU Medical, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results


SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., July 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICUI), a leading low cost manufacturer of safe medical connectors, custom medical products and critical care devices, today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Second quarter revenue was $48.9 million, a 3% increase, as compared to pro forma revenue of $47.5 million in the same period last year. Excluding the pro forma adjustment to exclude sales of discontinued products of $3.9 million in 2006, revenue was $51.4 million in the second quarter of 2006.

Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $2.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006. The 2007 amount includes a charge for a judgment against us in a lawsuit with Alaris of $3.2 million net of tax, or $0.21 per share. Excluding that, the Company would have earned $0.37 per share for the second quarter of 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, pro forma revenue totaled $97.4 million, a 7% increase, as compared to pro forma revenue of $90.9 million in the same period last year. Excluding the pro forma adjustment to exclude sales of discontinued products of $0.3 million in 2007 and $9.3 million in 2006, revenue was $97.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $100.2 million for June 30, 2006.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Company earned $12.4 million, or $0.79 per share, as compared to net income of $12.7 million, or $0.82 per share for the six-months ended June 30, 2006. Net income for the first half of 2007 was favorably impacted by a net gain of $2.1 million, after tax, or $0.13 per share, resulting from the favorable settlement with a law firm in the first quarter partially offset by the judgment against us in the second quarter.

Frank O'Brien, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer said, "Our sales of critical care products that we supply to Hospira declined $1.6 million in the quarter as compared to the second quarter last year, and we anticipate steeper declines for the balance of 2007. We produce to meet Hospira's demand and Hospira handles the sales of these products, and there is little we can do in the near term to stem these declines. The declines are a disappointment to us, and we are seeking ways to rectify the situation." He continued, "We are pleased with the overall performance of our other sales during the second quarter. Our custom products, not including critical care custom products, posted a 14% increase in sales, international sales increased 31% and our gross margins improved 3 percentage points to 42%. We consider 2007 to be a transitional year and are very excited about the opportunities lying ahead of us as we prepare for new product introductions, continue to develop our product pipeline and expand our international footprint."

Operating cash flow was $17.5 million for the first six months of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, cash and investments totaled $110.3 million and working capital was $150.7 million.

Due to softer than expected demand by Hospira for the Company's critical care products, management is now targeting 2007 revenue to be $190 million, compared to the previous target of $206 million. The Company's diluted earnings are now targeted at $1.50 per share, compared to the earlier target of $1.62.

The Company will be conducting a conference call concerning its second quarter ended June 30, 2007 results at 1:30 p.m. PST (4:30 p.m. EST) on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 which can be accessed at 866-383-8009, passcode 32898093 or by replay at 888-286-8010, passcode 11396045.
