ICU Medical, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results


SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., July 17, 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 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Second quarter of 2008 revenue was $48.6 million, compared to $48.9 million in the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $4.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue totaled $93.2 million, compared to revenue of $97.7 million in the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company earned $7.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.4 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Scott Lamb, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the revenue and earnings performance of our core business during the second quarter. Our gross margins expanded 3 percentage points to 43% and operating income increased over 100% on a sequential basis. Sales from our Custom systems were up 12% during the second quarter, compared to last year, while sales from our new products, including oncology, increased over 65% on a sequential basis. This growth was offset by continued weakness in critical care products that we manufacture for Hospira. Excluding critical care, our revenue grew 9%, compared to the same period last year."

"Looking forward, we are very pleased with our long-term domestic and international growth opportunities. As evidenced by our recently renewed agreement with MedAssets Supply Chain Systems, we are well positioned to expand our distribution network for our CLAVE, Custom and oncology products. These agreements validate our reputation as a low-cost and quality leader in the industry and create additional growth opportunities for years to come," concluded Mr. Lamb.

Operating cash flow was $11.0 million for the first six months of 2008. As of June 30, 2008, cash and investments totaled $109 million and working capital was $148 million.

Taking into account continued softness in the Company's critical care product division and higher commodity prices affecting shipping and raw material costs, management is providing a guidance range for 2008 revenue of $190 - $200 million, annual gross margins to be approximately 43% and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.35 - $1.45 per diluted share.
