Thermo Electron Reports 21% Revenue Growth
and Record Operating Income in the Third Quarter
WALTHAM, Mass. (October 26, 2004) - Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE:TMO) today
reported revenues of $542 million for the third quarter of 2004, a 21 percent
increase over $449 million in the 2003 quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share
(EPS) were $.65 in 2004, compared with $.29 a year ago. The 2004 quarter
includes a gain of $.39 per share from discontinued operations, primarily due to
the sale of Spectra-Physics and tax benefits related to a previously divested
business. GAAP operating income increased 42 percent from 2003, largely a result
of lower restructuring costs in 2004. GAAP operating margin for the 2004 quarter
rose to 11.0 percent from 9.3 percent in 2003.
Adjusted EPS grew 23 percent to $.32 in the third quarter of 2004, compared with
$.26 in 2003. Adjusted operating income also rose 23 percent to record third
quarter levels since the company's reorganization in 2000. Adjusted operating
margin was 13.1 percent, up from 12.9 percent in 2003. Adjusted operating margin
improved by 50 basis points in 2004 before the effect of acquisitions, which
lowered the margin by 30 basis points. Organic revenues, which exclude the
effects of currency translation and acquisitions/divestitures, grew 9 percent.
Currency translation increased revenues by 5 percent, and the net effect of
acquisitions/divestitures led to a 7 percent increase.
Adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and organic
revenues are non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items detailed at the end of
this press release under the heading, "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Third Quarter Highlights
- Reported revenues grew 21 percent
- Adjusted EPS rose 23 percent
- Organic revenues increased 9 percent
- InnaPhase LIMS business acquired for $65 million
- Industrial process segment showing robust growth
Marijn E. Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Electron,
said, "We are very pleased to have delivered strong top- and bottom-line growth
for the quarter. Importantly, our revenue performance contributed to solid
earnings growth, with adjusted EPS exceeding the high end of our guidance by
$.02. In addition, we generated strong cash flow of $66 million from continuing
operations.
"These results indicate that our growth strategy is working. We've made
significant internal investments to develop new products, expand our services
and create the commercial framework necessary to differentiate Thermo in the
marketplace. We also have the resources to continue to make strategic
acquisitions that extend our offerings and market coverage.
<PAGE>
"In the Life and Laboratory Sciences segment, our leading analytical
technologies are setting new standards for scientific research, enhanced by a
growing family of informatics and services solutions following our recent
acquisition of InnaPhase Corporation, a leader in data management systems for
the pharmaceutical industry. In Measurement and Control, we are driving
improvement by pursuing opportunities in growth markets, such as China, and
applying our laboratory-grade analytical instruments to on-line processes. In
addition to these initiatives, we are benefiting from recovery in many of our
industrial markets."
Mr. Dekkers added, "For the fourth quarter of 2004, we expect to report adjusted
EPS of $.36 to $.38. As a result, we are narrowing our previous adjusted EPS
guidance of $1.20 to $1.25 for the full year to $1.23 to $1.25." (This guidance
excludes approximately $.03 of expense per quarter from the amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets and the other items described in this
press release under the heading, "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.")
Life and Laboratory Sciences
The Life and Laboratory Sciences segment reported a revenue increase of 27
percent in the third quarter to $383 million, versus $302 million last year.
Organic revenues increased 8 percent. The effects of currency translation and
acquisitions increased revenues by 5 percent and 14 percent, respectively. New
products continue to drive stronger sales of our mass spectrometry systems. Our
Finnigan(TM) LTQ FT(TM) hybrid system, which has become a valuable research tool
for proteomics since its introduction in 2003, has been selected by R&D Magazine
as one of this year's top 100 innovative products. In our molecular spectroscopy
product line, we are seeing increased demand for our recently launched
Nicolet(TM) infrared spectrometry systems and our new Continuum(TM) series
microscope. In addition, growth in consumable products has led to general
strengthening across our clinical diagnostics portfolio. The recent InnaPhase
acquisition allows us to further leverage sales of systems and hardware by
extending our informatics offerings to include laboratory information management
systems for specialized pharmaceutical applications.
GAAP operating income for the segment grew 24 percent in the 2004 quarter, with
GAAP operating margin of 14.2 percent, versus 14.5 percent in 2003. Adjusted
operating income for the segment increased 23 percent in 2004, and adjusted
operating margin was 16.2 percent, compared with 16.7 percent in the 2003
quarter. Adjusted operating margin improved by 20 basis points in 2004 before
the effect of acquisitions, which lowered the margin by 70 basis points. As we
integrate these operations, we expect margins to improve in ensuing quarters.
Measurement and Control
Third quarter revenues in the Measurement and Control segment increased 9
percent to $159 million, versus $146 million last year. Organic revenues also
rose 9 percent. The effect of currency translation increased revenues by 4
percent, while the net effect of acquisitions/divestitures decreased revenues by
4 percent. Revenue growth was fueled by strong demand for our process
instruments used by the materials industry; the metals market continues to grow
in China, and minerals markets are gaining strength due to favorable pricing of
base materials. Our temperature control and materials characterization product
lines are benefiting from an upturn in industrial markets. We are also seeing
higher sales of gas flow systems used in petroleum processing, and increased
demand for our SOLA on-line sulfur analyzers resulting from stricter clean-fuel
regulations.
<PAGE>
GAAP operating income for the segment increased 34 percent from the 2003 period,
and GAAP operating margin rose to 9.1 percent, versus 7.5 percent last year.
Adjusted operating income for the segment increased 24 percent over last year,
with adjusted operating margin of 11.1 percent, up from 9.7 percent in 2003.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted
operating margin, which exclude restructuring and other costs/income and
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EPS and adjusted
operating income also exclude certain other gains and losses, tax
provisions/benefits related to the previous items and benefit from tax credit
carryforwards. We exclude these items because they are outside of our normal
operations and, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for
future periods. We also use the concept of organic revenue growth, which
excludes the effects of currency translation and acquisitions/divestitures. We
believe that the inclusion of such measures helps investors to gain a better
understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent
with how management measures and forecasts the company's performance, especially
when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts.
Specifically:
We exclude costs and tax effects associated with restructuring activities, such
as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, in connection with the final
phase of our overall reorganization, which we expect will be substantially
complete in 2004. We believe that the costs related to these restructuring
activities are not indicative of our normal operating costs.
We exclude charges relating to the sale of inventories revalued at the date of
acquisition, as we believe these charges are not indicative of our normal
operating costs.
We exclude the expense and tax effects associated with the amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the
purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have
lives of 5 to 10 years. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons
of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired
and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer
companies.
We also exclude certain gains/losses and related tax effects, as well as benefit
from tax credit carryforwards, that are either isolated or cannot be expected to
occur again with any regularity or predictability, such as those arising from
the sale of a business or real estate, the sale of our equity interests in
Newport Corporation, Thoratec Corporation and FLIR Systems, Inc., and the early
retirement of debt, which we believe are not indicative of our normal operating
gains and losses.
Thermo's management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial
measures, as the basis for measuring the company's core operating performance
and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance
of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial
and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes.
The non-GAAP financial measures of Thermo's results of operations included in
this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute
for Thermo's results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
<PAGE>
comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying tables
and/or the text of this press release. Thermo's earnings guidance, however, is
only provided on an adjusted basis. It is not feasible to provide GAAP EPS
guidance because the items excluded, other than the amortization expense, are
difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events,
such as decisions concerning the location and timing of facility consolidations,
and the timing of and proceeds from the sale of our equity interests in Newport
and Thoratec. We no longer own any shares of FLIR Systems.
