OraSure Announces 2010 Third Quarter Financial Results
BETHLEHEM, PA November 9, 2010 (Globe Newswire) OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a market
leader in oral fluid diagnostics, today announced revenues of $19.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $21.6 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Revenues in the third quarter of
2009 were higher primarily because they included the elimination of a $2.2 million backlog for OraQuick HIV
orders which existed at June 30, 2009. Revenues in the current quarter also reflect increased sales of the Company s cryosurgical systems and insurance risk assessment products, offset by decreased sales of its substance abuse testing
products and lower licensing and product development revenues.
The Company recorded net income of $274,000, or $0.01 per share, for the third
quarter of 2010, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per share, for the third quarter of 2009.
exceeded our guidance on both the top and bottom lines and our business performed well during the third quarter, said Douglas A. Michels, President and CEO of OraSure Technologies. We also made good progress on our clinical programs in
support of a finger stick whole blood claim and CLIA waiver for our OraQuick HCV test and the final phase of
clinical studies for our at-home HIV test.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded revenues of $56.2
million compared to revenues of $56.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $5.0
million, or $0.11 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included a
$3.0 million pre-tax impairment charge related to the net book value of payments previously capitalized under an HCV patent license agreement.
Gross margin in the third quarter of 2010 was 62%, compared to 64% in the third quarter of 2009. For the first nine months of 2010,
gross margin was 63%, compared to 62% in the same period of 2009. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2009 benefited from the significant increase in production required to fill the backlog of OraQuick HIV orders existing at June 30, 2009. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2010 is more representative of
normal production levels and benefited from a more favorable product mix and lower scrap. Gross margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 reflects the receipt of $2.0 million in HCV milestone payments, a more favorable product
mix and an improvement in scrap and spoilage levels when compared to the same period in 2009.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of
2010 decreased to $11.5 million, from $12.1 million in the comparable period in 2009 primarily as a result of a decrease in sales and marketing expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $37.8 million,
compared to $40.1 million for the same period in 2009. Increases in research and development and sales and marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2010 were offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense and the absence of a $3.0
million impairment charge recorded in 2009.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $73.7 million and working capital was
$78.4 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $79.7 million and $89.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Working capital declined due to the reclassification of the Company s remaining unpaid principal balance of its debt
obligation to a current liability as a result of its maturity in June 2011 and the reduction of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.3
million, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Fourth Quarter 2010 Outlook
The Company expects total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 to range from approximately $18.0 to $18.5 million.
The Company also anticipates an increase in research and development expenses during the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily related to
the initiation of CLIA waiver studies for its OraQuick HCV test, the commencement of the final OraQuick HIV over-the-counter clinical trial and the ongoing development of a next generation OraQuick HIV test. These expenditures, together with the projected revenues for the period, are expected to produce a net
loss per share of approximately $0.08 to $0.09 for the fourth quarter of 2010.
