PEABODY, Mass., March 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2012.
Highlights during the second quarter included:
- Revenues of $126.4 million, up 8% from Q2 of fiscal 2011
- GAAP operating margin of 6%; non-GAAP operating margin of 12%
- GAAP diluted EPS of $1.59, includes $0.80 net EPS benefit from tax refund and gain on sale of equity interest
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.02, up 92% from Q2 of fiscal 2011
- Achieved double digit non-GAAP operating margins across all lines of business
- Operating cash flows of $36 million, including tax refund
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $126.4 million, an increase of 8% compared with revenues of $117.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $19.6 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Included in our GAAP net income reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was a $10.0 million tax refund received during the quarter associated with R&D tax credits, offset in part by $2.7 million ($1.7 million net of tax) of contingent consulting fees recorded as G&A expense associated with the tax refund. Results for the quarter also included a $2.5 million ($1.6 million net of tax) gain on the sale of an equity interest. Together, these items provided an $0.80 benefit to diluted net income per share.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter was $12.5 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared with $6.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the prior year's second quarter. Our non-GAAP results do not include the benefit from the tax refund, net of related fees, and gain on sale of equity interest noted above. A reconciliation of reported to non-GAAP results is included as an attachment to this press release.
For the first six months of fiscal 2012, revenues totaled $244.3 million, up 11% from the same period in the prior year. Year-to-date GAAP net income was $23.6 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, up 199% and 203% respectively, from the same period last year. Year-to-date non-GAAP net income was $19.2 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, up 54% from the same period last year.
Jim Green, president and CEO, commented, "Analogic continues to deliver outstanding performance, with our highest quarterly earnings in years. In spite of headwinds in the U.S. and European Medical Imaging markets, we continue to see strong, double-digit revenue growth in our Ultrasound business led by market penetration for our procedure-driven BK Medical Flex Focus product line and our Medical Imaging business remains solid. Security is also on track as product revenues again grew during the quarter and we solidify our relationships with our OEM customers. Analogic expects to achieve our stated financial target of double-digit non-GAAP operating margins for fiscal 2012, and I'm excited to say that increased demand in our security business gives us the confidence to increase our fiscal 2012 revenue outlook to high single-digit growth year-over-year."
Segment Revenues
Revenue from our Medical Imaging segment was $75.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, up 3% from revenue of $72.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. Year-to-date, Medical Imaging revenue was $147.9 million, up 8% from the prior year. Medical Imaging revenues were up during the quarter due largely to growth in sales of our MRI subsystems and digital mammography detector plates, offset in part by lower shipments of CT components due to customer ordering patterns.
Our Ultrasound segment revenue was $41.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, up 21% from revenue of $34.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. Year-to-date, Ultrasound revenue was $75.7 million, up 21% from the prior year. Ultrasound revenue grew due to solid demand for our Flex Focus™ family of ultrasound systems for procedure-driven markets of urology and surgery, as well as demand for our ultrasound transducers sold through OEMs.
Security Technology segment revenue was $10.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, down 3% from revenue of $10.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. Year-to-date, Security revenue was $20.7 million, down 5% from the prior year. Product revenue increased 15% during the quarter, which was offset by lower engineering revenue as we complete a key development project.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
Analogic's Board of Directors, on March 1, 2012, declared a $0.10 cash dividend for each common share for its second fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2012. The cash dividend will be payable on March 29, 2012, to shareholders of record on March 19, 2012.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED (GAAP) TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
We provide non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, 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, 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, and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within our control, such as the market price and volatility of our shares, risk-free interest rates, and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards. Share-based compensation expense is calculated as of the grant date of each share-based award, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant date. 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.
B-K Distributor Matter Inquiry-Related Costs
As previously disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, the Company has identified transactions involving our Danish subsidiary, BK Medical, and certain of its foreign distributors, with respect to which the Company has raised questions concerning compliance with law and the Company's business policies. The Company has concluded that the identified transactions have been properly accounted for in our reported financial statements in all material respects. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2012 we incurred $207,000 and $1,204,000, respectively of inquiry-related costs.
Acquisition Related Expenses
We incur amortization of intangibles and other expenses related to acquisitions we have made in recent years. The intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed after the acquisition. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2011, our results included accounting items related to an acquisition of an OEM ultrasound transducer and probe product line. The acquisition accounting items included a bargain purchase gain (i.e. the acquired assets exceeded the amount to be paid for the acquisition) of $1,042,000 recorded in general and administrative expenses within operating income. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2012 our results included an adjustment to contingent consideration for the acquisition of an OEM ultrasound transducer and probe product line of $43,000. We believe the exclusion of this gain and acquisition related expenses allow comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses.
Restructuring
During the three months ended October 31, 2010, we initiated a plan to reduce our work force by 104 employees worldwide as we continue to streamline our operations and consolidate our Denmark and Canton, Mass. manufacturing operations into our existing U.S. facilities. The total cost, including severance and personnel related costs, was $3,562,000 and was recorded as an operating expense during the three months ended October 31, 2010.
Gain on sale of other investments
On July 25, 2011, we entered into an agreement to sell our 25% interest in our China-based affiliate for $2,500,000. The book value of our interest in the China-based affiliate was written down to $0 in fiscal 2006, and we, upon final approval of the transaction by the Chinese government, recorded a gain of $2,500,000 in the three and six months ended January 31, 2012.
Taxes
For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, we adjust the provision (benefit from) for income taxes to tax effect the non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on our income tax provision (benefit). In addition, from time-to-time, we recognize certain non-recurring tax adjustments. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we received a refund of $12,007,000 as the result of the completion of an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit of federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2003, 2005, and 2008. The refund was largely the result of Federal research and experimentation credits that carryover from the fiscal years 1991 through 2000 into the audited returns. We recorded a tax benefit for this refund, including the related interest, in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations of $10,025,000 in the three and six months ended January 31, 2012. The tax benefit from the refund and interest were partially offset by related contingent professional fees of $2,714,000 recorded in general and administrative expenses within income from operations in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations in the three and six months ended January 31, 2012. As these adjustments do not reflect the underlying performance of the business they have been excluded from non-GAAP net income.
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.
