ICU Medical, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2007 Results


SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2008 (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 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Fourth quarter of 2007 revenue was $45.5 million compared to pro forma revenue of $50.6 million in the same period last year. Excluding the pro forma elimination of discontinued products of $2.2 million, revenue was $52.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $6.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, revenue totaled $188.1 million, as compared to pro forma revenue of $187.0 million in the same period last year. Excluding the pro forma elimination of discontinued products of $14.6 million in 2006, revenue was $201.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Company earned $23.1 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $25.7 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Frank O'Brien, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer said, "During the fourth quarter, our sales of CLAVE and custom products, excluding critical care, continued to grow. In addition, overall gross margins expanded approximately 9 percentage points to 42% and our operating income increased 35% year-over-year. As expected, the fourth quarter's top-line performance was adversely impacted by a double-digit decline in critical care products that we sell to Hospira. Except for critical care, our overall business performed very well in 2007."

The Company ended the year with a very healthy balance sheet and strong cash flow from operations. Operating cash flow was $41.5 million for the fiscal year of 2007. As of December 31, 2007, cash and investments totaled $95.6 million and working capital was $131.8 million. This is after the Company bought back 1,062,922 shares at a cost of $41 million in the open market during fiscal year of 2007.
