Alere Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR), a global leader in rapid diagnostic tests, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017                                                                                                  

  • Total revenue was $558 million, a 9% decrease compared to $610 million in the prior year period.
  • Non-GAAP organic growth during the second quarter of 2017 was -7.8% and -3.6% excluding Arriva.*
  • Negative impact of foreign currency exchange was $6 million in the second quarter of 2017.
  • GAAP loss from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2017 was $(93) million, or $(1.13) per diluted share, compared to $(33) million, or $(0.44) per diluted share in the prior year period.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $44 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $91 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to higher merger-related costs and audit and legal fees related to ongoing investigations as detailed in the Supplemental Financial Information table.

Six Months 2017

  • For the six months ended June 30, 2017, revenue was $1.15 billion, a 4% decrease compared to $1.20 billion in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to $28 million in Arriva products and services revenue that could not be recognized (see note below*), and a decrease in seasonal product sales. The Company also continued to make investments in global operations and infrastructure to strengthen the enterprise.
  • Non-GAAP organic growth during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was -3.6% and +1.4% excluding Arriva.*

*During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company furnished to customers        $14 million and $28 million, respectively, of Arriva products and services revenue and corresponding earnings that were subject to the CMS revocation but did not recognize any revenue for such products and services because they were not eligible for reimbursement by CMS at the time the Company furnished them.

Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP organic growth, which are non-GAAP financial measures.  The reconciliations of Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations and Non-GAAP organic growth to revenue, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is shown in the table in this press release. The Company believes Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP organic growth are useful to investors because these metrics are commonly used by investors to assess the unleveraged, pre-tax financial performance and operating results of our ongoing business operations. The Company's management also uses Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP organic growth because the Company's management also believes that these are useful measures to evaluate operating performance and cash flows of the Company based on operational factors. It should also be noted that not all companies calculate Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP organic growth in the same manner and, accordingly, these measures presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Conference Call
As announced on February 1, 2016, Alere entered into a definitive agreement under which Abbott will acquire Alere, which definitive agreement was amended on April 13, 2017. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals. Due to the pending transaction, Alere will no longer hold conference calls to discuss its quarterly financial results.

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "preliminary", "may," "could," "should," "would," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "can," "continue" or similar words, and include statements with respect to the merger with Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") expecting to close by the end of the third quarter of 2017.
