Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOLX) announced today the Company's financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 25, 2021.

"In our first quarter of fiscal 2022, excluding COVID-19, we delivered robust revenue growth across all of our franchises," said Steve MacMillan, the Company's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Each of our divisions grew faster than our long-term revenue growth target, and profitability also was well above estimates. This quarter once again highlights the strength of our base businesses, as well as our ongoing ability to meet strong demand for COVID-19 testing, which together enable us to grow profitably in the face of uncertain market conditions."

Recent Highlights

Revenue of $1.471 billion decreased (8.6%) for the quarter, or (8.2%) in constant currency, driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period. Revenue, however, was significantly higher than the Company's guidance of $1.1 to $1.15 billion provided last quarter.
Excluding revenue from COVID-19, organic revenue grew 9.0% on a constant currency basis, comparing favorably to the Company's long-term goal of 5% to 7% growth.
Global revenue for the Company's Breast Health and GYN Surgical divisions grew 8.0% and 8.3%, or 8.4% and 8.2% in constant currency, respectively, highlighting strong, broad-based execution.
Global diagnostics revenue of $950.4 million decreased (15.8%), or (15.2%) in constant currency, driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays. Excluding COVID-19 revenues, however, global diagnostics revenue grew 10.2% on an organic, constant currency basis. Similarly, global molecular diagnostics revenue of $813.3 million declined (18.3%), or (17.8%) in constant currency, yet grew 14.1% on an organic, constant currency basis excluding COVID-19 revenues.
Closed the acquisition of Bolder Surgical, which provides advanced energy vessel sealing surgical devices, for approximately $160 million.
Launched Panther^® Trax, which physically links multiple Panther instruments together into a single, powerful workcell, allowing high-throughput labs to increase testing volumes without increasing staff.
Cash flow from operations remained strong in the first quarter at $564.2 million.
Repurchased 2.3 million shares for $167 million.
Added to Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America, Newsweek's list of America's most responsible companies, and the Drucker Institute's list of most effectively managed companies.
Published the Company's annual sustainability report, "A Global Force for Good," detailing our environmental, social and governance achievements in 2021.

Other Financial Highlights

U.S. revenue of $1,012.4 million decreased (11.0%). International revenue of $458.7 million decreased (2.8%), or (1.3%) in constant currency. Organically, U.S. revenue of $987.5 million decreased (12.6%), while international revenue of $443.2 million decreased (6.1%), or (4.6%) in constant currency.
GAAP gross margin of 67.0% decreased (630) basis points. Non-GAAP gross margin of 72.1% decreased (510) basis points. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a decline in COVID-19 assay sales compared to the prior year period.
GAAP operating margin of 43.6% decreased (1,140) basis points. Non-GAAP operating margin of 49.4% decreased (1,080) basis points. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to a decline in COVID-19 assay sales compared to the prior year period.
GAAP net income attributable to Hologic of $499.2 million decreased (23.7%). Non-GAAP net income attributable to Hologic of $554.7 million decreased (26.0%). Adjusted non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $752.3 million, a decrease of (24.8%).
COVID-19 revenues, which consist of COVID-19 assay revenue of $522.8 million and related revenue and revenue from discontinued products of $67.1 million, decreased (28.8%), or (28.2%) in constant currency.
Total principal debt outstanding at the end of the first quarter was $3.1 billion. The Company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $1.421 billion, and a net leverage ratio (net debt over adjusted EBITDA) of 0.6.
On a trailing 12 months basis, adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of 29.4% increased 270 basis points compared to the prior year period.

Financial Guidance for Second Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2022

"We are raising our full-year revenue and EPS guidance significantly," said Karleen Oberton, Hologic's chief financial officer. "Our new guidance reflects an increase to full-year revenue by $600 million and non-GAAP EPS by $1.35 at the midpoint. We expect upside from COVID-19 testing, plus organic growth in our base Diagnostics and Surgical businesses, to offset headwinds from supply chain challenges in our Breast Health business."

Hologic's financial guidance for the second quarter and full year 2022 is shown in the table below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 21.5%, and diluted shares outstanding of 256 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2022 as in fiscal 2021. Organic revenue guidance is in constant currency and excludes the divested Blood Screening business. Revenue from acquired businesses is generally included in organic revenue guidance starting a year after the acquisition. Therefore, in fiscal 2022, Biotheranostics and Diagenode will become part of organic revenue in the fiscal third quarter, Mobidiag will become part of organic revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter, and Bolder is excluded from organic revenue for the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: constant currency revenues; organic revenues; organic revenues excluding COVID related revenues, non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP effective tax rate; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP net margin; non-GAAP EPS; and adjusted EBITDA. Organic revenue excludes the divested Blood Screening business, as well as the acquired Biotheranostics, Diagenode, Mobidiag, and Bolder businesses. Revenue from acquired businesses is generally included in organic revenue starting a year after the acquisition. Organic revenue excluding COVID-19 is organic revenue less COVID assay revenue, COVID-related sales of instruments, collection kits and ancillaries, as well as license revenue, and discontinued products. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income, EPS, and other non-GAAP financial measures to exclude, as applicable: (i) the amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and equipment; (ii) adjustments to record contingent consideration at fair value; (iii) additional expenses resulting from the purchase accounting adjustment to record inventory at fair value; (iv) restructuring and divestiture charges and facility closure and consolidation charges, including accelerated depreciation, and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions (including retention, transaction bonuses, legal and professional consulting services) and separate divested businesses from existing operations; (v) expenses related to the divested Cynosure business incurred subsequent to the disposition date primarily related to indemnification provisions for legal and tax matters; (vi) transaction related expenses for divestitures and acquisitions; (vii) third-party expenses incurred related to implementing the European MDR/IVDR requirements and obtaining the appropriate approvals for its existing products; (viii) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (ix) the unrealized (gains) losses on the mark-to-market of foreign currency contracts for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting; (x) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges (benefits); (xi) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of investments; (xii) the one-time discrete impacts related to internal restructurings and non-operational items; (xiii) other one-time, non-recurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results; and (xiv) income taxes related to such adjustments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of Hologic's historical operating results, comparison to competitors' operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Hologic's business.

Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.
