Repligen Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
WALTHAM, MA August 3, 2017
Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN), a life sciences company focused on bioprocessing technology leadership, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2017. Detailed in this press release are the Company s
performance highlights for the quarter, followed by updated financial guidance for the year 2017 and access information for today s webcast and conference call.
Tony J. Hunt, President and Chief Executive Officer said I m extremely pleased with our accomplishments and performance during the second quarter.
We executed on our financial and strategic goals, reporting record quarterly revenue and year-to-date revenue growth of 18%. We signed and have now closed on a pivotal
deal to acquire a leading hollow-fiber filtration company, Spectrum, Inc., and we successfully priced and have now closed on an equity offering that raised net proceeds of $129 million. These significant events position Repligen for our next
phase of growth as we continue to deliver on our strategy to build a successful company through technology and market leadership in bioprocessing, with a focus on disposable and continuous manufacturing solutions.
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2017
GROSS PROFIT and GROSS MARGIN
GAAP net income and EPS figures above include a $5.6 million tax benefit due to the release of a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets during the
second quarter of 2017. There was no comparable tax benefit in the second quarter of 2016.
Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS figures, detailed in the
reconciliation tables accompanying this release, exclude the impact of the above mentioned valuation allowance of deferred tax assets in the 2017 quarter, as well as acquisition costs, intangible amortization expenses and contingent consideration
expenses. In addition, these figures exclude the non-cash portion of debt-related interest expense ($1.0 million during the second quarter of 2017, and $0.4 million during the same period in 2016)
and the tax reduction associated with intangible amortization ($0.1 million for each of the second quarters of 2016 and 2017).
Highlights for the Six Months Year-to-Date 2017
revenue for the first six months of 2017 was $63.0 million, an increase of 16% compared to the first six months of 2016, or 18% at constant currency. Gross margin was 55.7% for the first six months of 2017, compared to 56.3% for the 2016
period. Gross profit of $35.1 million for the first six months of 2017 represents an increase of 15% year-over-year. Income from operations increased to $11.2 million for the first six months of 2017, compared to $9.3 million for the
2016 period. Net income for the first six months of 2017 was $11.5 million, which includes a combined $6.2 million of Spectrum, Inc. ( Spectrum ) and TangenX Technology Corporation ( TangenX ) related acquisition costs
($2.8 million), intangible amortization ($1.5 million) and debt-related non-cash interest expense ($2.0 million). Also included in net income for the first six months of 2017 was a tax benefit of
$5.6 million due to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The $11.5 million net income figure for year-to-date 2017 compares to
$5.5 million for the first six months of 2016, an increase of $6.0 million. Fully diluted GAAP EPS for the first six months of 2017 was $0.33, an increase of $0.17 compared to $0.16 for the first six months of 2016.
On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted gross margin was 56.1% for the first six months of 2017, compared to 56.8% for the same
period in 2016. Adjusted gross profit of $35.4 million for the first six months of 2017 represents an increase of 15% year-over-year. Adjusted income from operations increased to $15.4 million for the first six months of 2017, compared to
$14.0 million for the 2016 period. Adjusted net income for the first six months of 2017 was $11.9 million, which excludes the above mentioned combined $6.2 million of acquisition costs, intangible amortization expense and non-cash interest expense, and which also excludes the above mentioned tax benefit of $5.6 million and excludes the $0.2 million tax reduction associated with intangible amortization. The
$11.9 million adjusted net income figure for year-to-date 2017 compares to $10.4 million for the first six months of 2016, an increase of $1.5 million or
15%. Fully diluted adjusted EPS for the first six months of 2017 was $0.34, an increase of 12% from adjusted EPS of $0.31 for the first six months of 2016.
Financial Guidance for 2017
Today, we are updating our
guidance for fiscal year 2017 to include the impact of our recent acquisition of Spectrum Inc. and our equity financing. Today s updated guidance is based on expectations for our business - including Spectrum - and does not include the
financial impact of potential new acquisitions or future fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Financial guidance highlights for the year 2017 are below, and a reconciliation of our GAAP to adjusted (non-GAAP) guidance for net income and EPS is included in the supplemental reconciliation schedule attached.
Our EPS guidance includes the estimated year-end weighted
average impact of additional shares totaling 9.9 million, comprised of: 6,153,995 new shares issued in connection with our acquisition of Spectrum, Inc. on August 1, 2017, 3,288,069 new shares issued through our follow-on offering which closed in July 2017, including the exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares, and shares 559,581 shares associated with our convertible debt offering of May
2016. This quantity of convertible debt associated shares, which are unissued, was determined on the basis of share price premium relative to conversion price.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis
of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release: revenue growth rate at constant currency, adjusted income from
operations, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share (EPS). The Company provides revenue
growth rates in constant currency to exclude the impact of foreign currency translation in order to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance to its past revenue performance. To calculate revenue growth rates in constant currency,
the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period.
The Company s non-GAAP financial results and/or non-GAAP guidance exclude
the impact of: contingent consideration related to the Company s June 2014 asset purchase agreement with Refine Technology, acquisition costs related to the Company s recent acquisitions (Atoll GmBH in April 2016, TangenX Technology
Corporation in December 2016, Spectrum, Inc. in August 2017), inventory step-up charges related to the acquisition of Spectrum, intangible amortization costs, non-cash
interest expense, and in the case of EBITDA, cash interest expense related to the Company s May 2016 convertible debt issuance. Also excluded are tax benefits associated with valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, the impact on tax of
intangible amortization, and tax benefits associated with variable integration expenses. These costs are excluded because management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting
charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded. Refine contingent consideration was triggered by the achievement of annual XCell ATF system sales milestones
through the year 2016.
A reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP financial measures is
included as an attachment to this press release. When analyzing the Company s operating performance and guidance investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as substitutable for the comparable
financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
