IDEXX Laboratories Announces Second Quarter Results
WESTBROOK, Maine, July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX) today reported revenues for the second quarter of 2015 of $413 million, an increase of 6% compared to the prior year period. Impacts from the strengthening of the US dollar reduced reported revenue growth by 7%. Normalized organic revenue growth 1,2 for the quarter was 11%, supported by strong growth in the Companion Animal Group ( CAG ) and Water. Earnings per diluted share ( EPS ) was $0.60 for the quarter, an increase of 9% compared to the prior year period despite a negative $0.05 per share impact related to net changes in foreign exchange rates.
We are very pleased with the Company's performance in the second quarter. Instrument placements were outstanding. Placements were strong in all geographic regions, benefiting from our robust worldwide commercial capabilities and best in class products including Catalyst One , our next generation chemistry analyzer. We expect continued momentum with instrument placements and have updated our outlook to well over 9,000 chemistry and hematology instrument placements for the full year 2015, which bodes well for long-term growth in the recurring instrument consumable revenues, said Jonathan Ayers, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Growth of CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue was strong, supported by continued high growth in our reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services, particularly in the US, as well as continued strong growth in instrument consumable revenues. Our full launch earlier this month of our new kidney function test, SDMA, has been flawless. In just a few weeks, nearly 9,000 US veterinary practices have benefitted from SDMA results on over 140,000 patients.
Revenue for our rapid assay products, which increased 3% in the quarter, was consistent with our expectations for normalized organic growth, added Ayers. Recent head-to-head comparison studies, including those that have been peer-reviewed, have demonstrated IDEXX's significant superiority in test sensitivity in both canine and feline lines over competing tests using the lateral flow platform. Higher sensitivity in the detection of infectious diseases is due in part to our SNAP platform, which is unique in using reference lab ELISA technology. We know that test accuracy is the primary factor that customers value with these in-house kits, given the importance of accurately detecting the presence of these serious infectious diseases in practice. We are well equipped to communicate this data to our customers with our fully direct US sales organization.
We are on track to accelerate CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth in future quarters as we continue to gain productivity from our US all-direct sales strategy and our momentum internationally. We also benefit from an unprecedented wave of innovations we are bringing to the market, including the recently launched SDMA and fecal antigen tests in the reference labs, the total T4 slide on our Catalyst chemistry platform, the new SNAP test for Leptospirosis, the H3N2 dog flu test, and several advancements in our VetConnect PLUS cloud-based and mobile diagnostic results viewing app.
Second Quarter Financial Performance Highlights
Second quarter revenue increased 6% to $413 million. Normalized organic revenue growth was 11% and benefited in part from incremental margin capture associated with the move to an all-direct sales model for US CAG Diagnostics.
Operating margins were 21.4% in the second quarter, up slightly compared to prior year period margins of 21.3%. Gross profits increased 7%, reflecting a moderate increase in gross margins to 56.3% from 56.0% in the prior year period. Operating expenses increased 7% primarily due to costs associated with the all-direct US CAG Diagnostics sales strategy and other increases in global commercial resources, partly offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange.
Financial Outlook for 2015
The Company is maintaining its previous 2015 financial guidance, adjusted to account for the June 15, 2015 two-for-one stock split, as summarized below:
Amounts in millions except per share data and percentages
Guidance Range Growth Definition Year-over-Year Growth
Revenue $1,600 - $1,620 Normalized Organic Revenue Growth 2 12% to 13%
Reported 8% to 9%
EPS $2.07 - $2.12 Adjusted 4% to 6% 3
Reported 16% to 18%
Free Cash Flow 4 80% - 90%
of net income
Capital Expenditures ~$100
At current foreign exchange rates, we estimate that the effect of the stronger US dollar will adversely impact 2015 reported revenue and EPS growth by 6% and 9%, respectively.
The guidance above reflects the assumptions that the value of the US dollar relative to other currencies will remain at our current assumptions of the euro at $1.08, the British pound at $1.55, the Canadian dollar at $0.77, the Australian dollar at $0.74 and the Japanese yen at 124 to the US dollar for the remainder of 2015. Our full year financial outlook includes the benefit of hedge contracts which we expect will favorably impact EPS by approximately $0.16 per share.
The favorable deferred revenue impact of our Catalyst One introductory offer is expected to increase revenue growth for the full year 2015 by approximately 0.5%.
We expect an effective tax rate of 30%. This outlook has not assumed that the federal R&D tax credit, which benefited EPS by $0.03 per share in 2014, will be renewed in 2015.
We are projecting a reduction in weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 7.0% to 7.5%, and interest expense, net of interest income, of approximately $28 million reflecting current and projected borrowings.
Adjustments to EPS for 2014 used for calculating adjusted EPS growth are summarized below:
Earnings per share: Diluted (as Reported - adjusted for two-for-one stock split) $1.79
Incremental expenses associated with transition to an all-direct sales strategy
- Non-recurring transition costs 0.06
- Expense ramp-up in advance of transition to new sales strategy 0.03
Impact of distributor inventory drawdown 0.14
Non-recurring income tax benefit related to the deferral of intercompany profits (0.02)
Adjusted earnings per share: Diluted 3 $2.00

1 All references to growth and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent period in 2014.
2 Normalized organic revenue growth and organic revenue growth are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to the performance of our peers. Organic revenue growth for the second quarter of 2015 excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which had a 7% unfavorable impact on revenue growth, and revenue from business acquisitions, which contributed 0.5% to revenue growth. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Management also believes that reporting normalized organic revenue growth provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue growth performance with prior and future periods. Normalized organic revenue growth excludes the impact of changes in our significant distributors' inventory levels on organic revenue growth. When selling our products through distributors, changes in distributors' inventory levels can impact our reported sales, and these changes may be affected by many factors, which may not be directly related to underlying end-user demand for our products. Effective January 1, 2015, we fully transitioned to an all-direct sales strategy in the US, however changes in prior year US distributors' inventory levels can still impact current year reported growth results. In certain countries internationally, we continue to sell our products through third party distributors. Although we are unable to obtain data for sales to end users from certain less significant non-US third party distributors, we do not believe the impact of changes in these distributors' inventories had or would have a material impact on our growth rates in the relevant periods. Reconciliation of organic revenue growth to normalized organic revenue growth for the second quarter of 2015 includes the following positive/(negative) impacts to organic revenue growth from changes in our significant distributors' inventory levels; Total Company 1.1%, US 2.1%, International (0.3%), CAG 1.4%, CAG Diagnostics Recurring 1.6%, VetLab consumables 1.5%, VetLab service and accessories 0.4%, and Rapid Assay 5.9%.
3 Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS growth are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that reporting Adjusted EPS provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our EPS performance with prior and future periods. For the total year projected 2015 comparison to 2014, 2014 excludes impacts in the second half of 2014 related to the all-direct transition and a non-recurring income tax benefit related to the deferral of intercompany profits recorded in the third quarter of 2014. See table above for a reconciliation of 2014 EPS adjustments.
4 Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, excluding tax benefits attributable to share-based compensation arrangements, reduced by the Company's investments in fixed assets. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in fixed assets that are required to operate the business. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. With respect to this particular forward-looking projected non-GAAP financial measure, the Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation as the inputs to the measurement are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events.
